Productive Weekend

Well, at least in my part. I folded and put away all the laundry that have been hanging around in all six containers today. I don't mind hauling them to our downstairs bathroom to wash and dry, but when it comes to folding and putting it away, it takes me forever to do it.

Children are happy, because they don't have to dig in the baskets and hampers to find their clothes. I even folded and put away all the wash I did today. I know, something must be wrong with me ...:))

I have also been buying some borax, washing soda and some cheap bar soap to start making my own laundry detergent soon. I even purchase a $2.97 shredder to shred the soap with. No more expensive Tide for me. I will probably try adding baking soda on it too. I'll have to see if no one is allergic to it yet, then add things that are good for clothes.

I'll let you all know how it works.

Actively Occupy

lol, I know same meaning. Anyway, I have been chatting to my nieces and nephews, talking to my eldest sister and catching up with everything with them lately. The last time I saw them was 2001, and they were quite young. I have been posting some old pictures and most of them said, "wow, I look very young in those pictures!"

My eldest turned 50 this year. I almost lost her last year from too much stress, now she is trying not to get too much. She also started working out a few times a week as stress reliever.

We are planning to contact all our cousins and maybe set-up some kind of get together. We only seen each other when we are very young. And scattered all over the world. It would be fun if we can still see each other in the near future.

My older sister in CA finally ended up leaving her husband. There is no surprised there, she always and will be the odd one in the family. When everything gets tough with her, she easily gives up and start looking for other things to do instead. I quote, "she wants to be in control of her relationship." Now everything is clear to me, that is the reason why she married a 7 year old her junior. Well, I guessed he grow up and wants to be in control after all these years...lol...but sarcastic.

Yup, the drama. She is suppose to be going home this coming Easter to Phil. Doon naman cguro mag-kalat yun, was the golden rule long gone? Talking about reality to people is just like talking to a blank wall.
Really! I doubt it, are you sure? Well, if you are not sure, then research it...geez wake-up!

Happy first day of SPRING!!!

Must Blog

Busy, busy, busy. Woah! DH and I niece's got engaged, had a bridal shower, and got married within a month. She finished college in December, got a job before the engagement, then rented an apartment together with her bf.

NeoCon, they don't want to sleep in the same roof before getting blessed in front of their family in friends. The problem I have with that...like they don't sleep/sex together during the day. And they are both worry about that the creator not liking blessed before living together.

Two people who are in love getting an apartment not having sex? Come on, are we on the 40's? (sarcastic) They weren't worry about doing the deed before getting bless, but worry about living together. Whatever...

Anyway, my two children was part of the wedding entourage. My only girl was the flower girl and her younger brother was the ring bearer. My youngest one was saved for my other niece, who by the way planning her wedding already. She just broke up with her bf, and has no one right now...goodness...isn't it too for that. My youngest might be teenager for all I care before she gets married.

However, I hope not. She is very pretty girl and I don't think she will have a hard time finding the right person.

The wedding was yesterday. It was pouring all day, and hair styles are optional in a wedding. My hair style did not last very long...if I ever will compare to a drunk person...I called it "drowned"...ha ha ha.

Yup, that's where I was during my absence. Helping/attending weekends events both for my sister in law and the holy book (btw, not liking the more I get into it, just like before) learning.

How about you? What you been up to?
