while i am alone

hahaha,,,nice title.  I just couldn't think of a better one.  Sounds like while you were sleeping, a movie of Sandra Bullock back in the 90's.  Anyway, Sandra's not the topic I have in mind.  As the title suggests, I am alone at the moment.  Where is everybody?  Well, I haven't seen Alyanna for almost three weeks now, and Kohbe for more than a week already.  They are spending some time with my in-laws.  Tamarra, who was with them last week, is now with my mother, out there somewhere.  My sweet little ate Tamtam, who now prefers to be called Errah, cannot stand being away from me for a long time.   Dy, on the other hand, just left for work (night shift).  But even if he was here the whole day, he's as good as not around for he was asleep.

How do I spend a day without everybody?  If it's not summer, definitely, I won't really have time to think about them, because for sure, I'll be in school.  But since it's school break, I have to keep myself busy so as not to miss everyone of them.  I woke up around six, drank  a mug of coffee, did a 15-minute aerobics, then attended with the laundry.  (Oh!  We have more than a basket of soiled-clothes.)  Around 8, dy arrived.  We ate breakfast together, he went to bed and I went back to washing the clothes.

At noon, I couldn't find anything else to do.  I've finished a thousand pieces puzzle, a gift I received from a colleague, Mrs. Gloria Madlansacay. (which I promised to frame before summer ends).  I've read almost all the pocketbooks I have on the shelf but one.  A book entitled Tuesdays with Morrie, a gift from Jonathan Diesta, another colleague.  I thought it's a boring book, that's why I keep on ignoring it.  (My apologies, Jonathan.)  But since I have nothing left to do, I started browsing on it, scanning the reviews about it, and then reading it.  It's not boring after all.  In about a few minutes, I was hooked by it, especially when I read the part about Morrie's living funeral.  Oh! If not for my husband who was about to leave, I wouldn't have stopped reading it.  I promise to finish reading it until tomorrow.  And when I'm done, I'll share those greatest lessons in life the book promised to give.

Oh!  I can't wait to share it with you guys.

Just an Update

Wow!  It's been what, around 2 years since the last time I wrote for blogspot.  I don't know.  Maybe I just lost my drive, or I had been busy with other matters.  Now that it's summertime and I don't have work, I decided I should try writing again.

The last post I did was about Tam, my eldest, being always away from home.  Guess what!  She no longer stays with my parents, we all stay together now under one roof,,,our own house.

Yes!  Finally, we don't rent anymore.  Last year, April 2012, we started building a 6m x 7m house in Amadeo, right at the back of my parents house.  It's a one-bedroom house and it's not really finished yet.  But does it matter?  No, it doesn't (at least right now).  What truly matters to us is the fact that we are not spending P2500 monthly for the rent.  And that all of us, Dy (my hubby), and my three kids, live together.  .

We have so many plans for this abode.  By next month, Dy promised me that we'll have it rough-finished at least.  It's in preparation for the coming rainy season.  We don't want rainwater coming in through the hollow blocks (just like what we experienced last year, the house was always wet during storms).  

I should be posting pictures of our wonderful house but the pics are not available on my laptop right now.  I'll have it posted next time...
