Living Mye Life

February is a sick month for my man and the little boy.  Hubby is struggling to walk straight with his knee injury (though he started to do some lab tests now and an orthopaedic doctor on the way), something happened during his long walk from their office in Makati.  He suddenly slips on his right foot and the pain rips through his brain and he just can’t stand straight.  So after a normal massage from a “hilot”we decided it’s time to use his health card and let the doctor check on his injuries.  And so he was given a nerve and pain medicines and was scheduled for an x-ray and some blood tests the following day.  I am hoping for a normal result and hope everything will be fine.  He’s been in pain for some quite some time now and he deserve to enjoy his new job now.

After recovering from fever and diarrhoea, Nathan’s last stool test confirms amoeba on his little tummy.  We were quite shocked by it since I am so cautious on his food and water.  But his paediatrician said the causes of the bacteria were from different sources though water is the main reason.  So after the series of proper medications and Nathan’s being such a good boy, he was subjected to yet another stool test last weekend. Amoeba is gone but coccobacillus is present so his medications were changed and he was given probiotics and zinc plus another anti-bacterial prescriptions.  His doctor said he will have his appetite again after the medications and there’s no need for another stool test. 

I just wish they will be all fine.  It’s been a tough month for us and I am hoping for some good and feel better news this coming March.  So help us GOD.

My niece will celebrate her 14^th birthday few days from now.  And she requested to have a small celebration in our family home because some of her friends and classmates will be coming over.  We were quite surprised hearing that from my niece since these past few years, she will only request any gadgets she wants with just a simple lunch or dinner dined out in her favourite fast food restaurant.  But as my husband noticed, she’s getting older now and maturing fast and maybe she wanted to make her birthday a memorable one this year. 

So my sisters and I are now busy planning for the event and we asked our brother to come over.  But actually, my niece wanted to ask my brother for his cell phone that she claimed that it’s the one she fancied at the mall.   Well, I already talked to my brother about that but the only problem is that he lost its charger.  I said nothing to worry about since there are many cell phone chargers available in the market and we will be the one to buy it for her. 

I would like to see her face light up when she open the box.  That’s her big reward for making good in her studies.

I promised that I will never celebrate the V day on February 14.  It is either before or after the date itself because of what happened to us (hubby and I) last year.  We spent at least more than an hour waiting for our ordered food and my tummy started to grumble and I have to ask my husband to check on other possible restaurant because we were both feeling uneasy.  So we drive around until we settled on a pizza restaurant nearby.

 

But today, hubby requested for a dinner date and who am I to refuse such invitation?  Of course we enjoyed the night with our kiddo, Nathan.  Having the night with my boys is always special.  We stroll around the mall and decided to do some quick grocery shopping and surprisingly, there’s less people inside the supermarket and Nathan had no problem walking and running around.  We bought some heart shaped donuts for my mother in-law and Nathan sweetly gave it to her. 

 

No flowers, no cards and no gifts.  Just a sweet text message and a loving kiss to settle my February 14.  No problem with that, I have them both forever. 

I was sorting my husband old things from the old boxes he had since his grade school days.  I was smiling entirely with all the notes, love letters and some souvenirs he had and was kept safely to that box.  I never had any courage to throw some of them away, it was part of his childhood memories and instead I put them on the new box I bought last week.  Some of them are his toys that Nathan is fondly playing right now and he can’t believe he was looking at them right now while his son is playing on them. 

Nathan mostly enjoyed playing his Daddy’s teenage mutant ninja toys.  I was a fan also when we were kids and I remember watching my brother playing with his friends.  They all have the same toys and I can recall asking our Mom if she can buy me that toy. With all the new high technology games and toys, we missed having that in our house and it brings back all the memories.  Upon browsing the web, there’s more information here that my hubby will surely discuss to Nathan when he’ll ask about his new toys.  I bet his Daddy can answer all his queries all the time. 

I stopped by Mt. Arayats halo –halo in Mall of Asia yesterday with my family to claim the voucher I purchased online via livingsocial site.  When I handed them the paper voucher, the two ladies inside the kiosk asked me if I had a reservation, I said I called their reservation number last Thursday and was advised that they are accepting walk-in.  I said to the lady who answered my phone that so I can claim it on weekdays? She said, yes and didn’t even bother to have my name.  Trusting them, I said okay, thank you.  But here they are, telling me that that’s impossible because they are no longer accepting reservations because they are fully booked and they are only accepting walk-ins during weekdays.  I was so shocked hearing their explanations because first, the expiry period of voucher is today and second, the walk-in during weekdays is not even stipulated in the voucher terms.So how can they say that they are fully booked when they know how many vouchers was placed in their branch?

But I don’t want to ruin my day and we are happy having a quality bonding time with my hubby and baby so I just told them to write their name on my voucher and stating the reason of their refusal to accept my voucher.  And I leave them in peace though I was really upset that time.  But my hubby said we can go to Razon’s and eat halo-halo that tastes much better and delicious too.  I won’t forget to raise a complaint to online site where I bought the voucher and promised myself I will never ever buy anymore voucher from this Mt. Arayat again.  

Love is in the air.  Well because I’ve heard the sweetest news this first month of the year that my favourite cousin is getting married.  We are urging her to settle down because she’s not getting younger anymore and they both have a stable career and we know they are deeply in love with each other.  Whenever we bring out the walk in the aisle topic, she would just laugh about it and said stop bothering them.  So this is really great news for the whole family and everybody is ecstatic to know the plans and preparations.

Everyone in the family is volunteering to be part of this big event and my cousin started to panic how to accommodate all.  But I told her that whatever the two of them agreed on the entourage, I think they will understand.  She will be the one to design her wedding dress and he wanted to have those beautiful junior bridesmaids dresses she saw online. 

My aunt’s recommend looking for the best dress and checking on the weddingtonway review so they will know if the color and the dress will fit to their brides maids and if they will like it.  Well, she’s right on that and this preparations will surely made our weeks and months busy.  

Nate ’accidentally joined a 7 year old birthday party just beside my sister’s eatery.  We went there to visit my family and we saw that they setting up the tables and chair.  When they played the kids all-time favourite dance song, Gangnam Style he started to dance in front of the kids and they eventually joined him in the party.

We are all laughing out loud for he dominates the dance floor even though he’s the youngest of them all.  The energy and his charming ways fave the way and everyone are asking about him, his age, where he lives.  He’s our little star.  He even joined the “trip to Jerusalem “game and he keeps on dancing while turning rounds and rounds till he was out.  My cousin was amazed to see him eating spaghetti on his own.  No mess, no spoil foods and when he’s done he asked me to get the plate for him.  They say he learned so much more with just a little time teaching him what to do.

Nathan’s is our joy.  He makes all the stars in the night shining when he laughs.  He starting to utter longer than 2 words together and his energy never wears off.  I admit I have to keep fit to be able to keep up with his energy.  He is starting to say things that I think need a little bit of explanations.  His tantrums are bearable.  We can change his mind to stay away for those things that are off limits to him. Keeping up with Nathan is our major goal.  We hope he stay happy forever ♥
