FoOT-Tality!
- Main Entry:
- fa·tal·i·ty
- Pronunciation:
- \fā-ˈta-lə-tē, fə-\
- 1 a: the quality or condition of being destined for disaster
- 2: something established by fate
... thats the term my husband always use if something goes wrong. If a glass slipped from your hands and breaks, if you accidentally cut yourself with a cutter or a knife, etc.
It is Sasha's 1st day in summer reading class and we are running late. Good thing Jason woke up early so I had a chance to bring him to school as well. We still don't have a maid so no one will take care of him at home. Hubby is still asleep. Been working all night in one of the websites he is designing. I think he slept around 530am already.
Sasha seemed fine inside the car but I know that she is scared going to a new school with new teachers and new set of playmates. But I assured her that the teacher is good.
She leaned on my side and squeezed my left hand when we are almost in the school. Pati ako na te-tense na for her. Hahahaha! Alas! she was hesitant to go down the car and enter the school premises. Akala mo sa hospital mo dinala and afraid to take her shots... tsk tsk tsk
. I had to semi drag her up the stairs going to her classroom. When we reached the room... she tightly hold the rooms opening ( side ng entrance) so I cannot drag her in. Wrestling na to! Hahahaha.. I wrapped my arms around her waist, lifted her a little and made her go inside the room.. whew! It wasnt that long...... I pulled out a chair and sat on it and she sat on me instead of sitting on the chair beside me and she hugged me tight, hid her face from everyone as she cries : " I wanna go home, I dont like it here.. I want to go home! "
It was 9:10am, Teacher Rochelle called everyone in front so they can start. Sasha stayed with me still.. ( on top of me arrghhh. ) Her weight cut-off the blood's circulation from my legs. Sakit!
She sat on me for a good 1 hour. Then I wondered my my 2nd toe from my right foot is aching. I looked at it. It seems fine. I said to myself, maybe sasha had stepped on it kaya masakit. I didnt mind it that much.
But after sometime, the pain seem stronger. It was so sharp that I am beginning to feel uneasy. I asked sasha to sit on the chair beside me but she thinks I was just tricking her so she didn't follow. I tried to move her to my left side a little so I can check my toe again.
Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! there's blood on my foot already. lots of it!
I feel shy to call the teacher's attention. This means I will be disturbing their class. So I called one of her assistant instead and showed her my foot. She was shocked but I said, I am ok.. dont call teacher. I just need a bandaid. So she went down to get some. But she also called the directress' attention na din pala. They asked me to come to St. Lukes.. but I declined. I said I am fine. I just need a bandiad. But they insisted..
So I obliged out of embarrassment.
The doctor said that my nail was lifted from its nail bed 50% Ouchy !
It will still re-attach itself , I just need to put a little pressure on it and avoid getting it wet for several days <--------- WHAT? several days.. naku.. acrobatics to sa banyo! hahahaha
Ito siya.. bad trip talaga! FATALITY! este FOOT-tality!
Paano naman ako mamamalenke?
Sinigang Con Kitty
Anong itsura ni kitty pag sinigang?

Radish lang shaped like kitty.

Veggie Garden
We are lucky that there is an open lot in front of our house. We bought pechay seeds at first then we tried tomatoes, radish, some herbs , ube etc. Our kapitbahay joined in the fun and converted their back area into a veggie garden as well. ( thats their area where Sasha is... they both planted those. (Sasha is showing the radish area)Pechay Garden:
Tomatoes:
...look at the soil.. may mga nahulog pang macopa. Maputla sila pero in fairness malasa pa.
Ayan ang kamatis.. hilaw pa siya... Di ganun kaganda yun area where we planted them. Maselan pala yan. konti lang yun perfect fruits.. Yun iba maliit pa nabubulok na. =(
Tuwang tuwa kami sa garden experiment na yan.. try nyo din. Mapapansin na after that natutuwa na silang kumain ng veggies. =)

Whispering sweet Nothings to kids
In my past post "Daddy's Girl" , I said there that my dad would always whisper sweet things to me as he sits beside me as I sleep ( he thought i was ).
My mom would do that too.. I would wake up at times and noticing my mom talking to me as I sleep. Well she thought too I am asleep. I remember her saying sweets thoughts that she loves me, some are part of her dreams for us, words of thankfulness and even apologies if she gets mad at me over petty little things.
All those sweet whispers lingered not only in my mind but in my heart - until now. I can still remember the night my mom said she hopes that I would still be there for her when I grew up. That I could still take time to spend some moments with her.
That is the reason why I still take time to take her out and spend some great time with her even though I have my own family now.
Wow the power of sweet whispers... they say it innocently as their child sleeps but the message do get embedded deep within.
Now that I am a mom... I do that too to my kids. I whisper thoughts to them as they sleep. Things that I am sometimes scared or shy to tell them when they are awake. I often say that I love them ( well i do that even when they are awake ) and I say sorry if I got mad. I explain to them things.. stuff and even share my dreams.
I am hoping that they can somehow hear that like me they can still remember those words even when they are already old.

Daddy's girl
read Dee's blog.. her kids excitedly waits for december to come not because its xmas season but because it's the month Daddy will come home.
It made me reminisce how my life was when I was young. I grew up seeing my Dad come and go. I didnt ask questions before thinking thats how life was. There are times that he would come home and I would fear him.. ( i think i was 3 then but its still very vivid in my mind ). He came home one day with tons of bags with him. Lotsa goodies too. But I was just sitting on the sofa feeling so scared that a stranger just entered our home. He's not familiar.. But mom said he's my father and worst... mom was urging me to come near him and kiss him.
After a week or so , he is off to go to another another place.
Then when I turned prep , thats when I realize ohhh thats my dad. He is abroad working as an architect inside the US bases in Japan ( that time ). He calls us up every week just to say Hi... i wont talk to him personally but in the background I would always cry and say Uwi na.. uwi na si Daddy ( shocks I still get teary eyed remembering all those ). My mom would ask me what I like just to make me stop crying but I insisted.. "wala ako gusto.. uwi na... uwi na and I say that line over and over again as i cry. Gosh sorry mom , now I realized that must have broke your heart further. =(
I was in Grade 2 when Dad sent us a Hello kitty family calendar ( NOV yun ). That calendar was so cute... Its a big house with lotsa window.. color blue with gold stars, chimney etc.
The whole Hello kitty family is there. Each window shows the months of the year and in each window you open Dad already wrote important dates like birthdays and anniversaries. And I was glad to see a big note that says : " Daddy will be home!" on the 23rd of February.
I would always look at that calendar until it hits february. Thats how excited I am - to see him back home. But unfortunately... Dad usually stays only a week ... the longest is 2 weeks. And everytime its time for him to go back to work ... the night before as he thought I was sleeping... he would whisper sweet stuff as he sits beside me. He would always remind me that he loves us so so much. That he will miss us when he goes back to Japan. But dont fret for he'll always think of us and buy us good stuff. He always tells me to be a good girl and a good student.. to help mom in every way we could.
All those whispers were outhered ..as he thought I was asleep but I was just pretending. We bonded all night just being close to each other ... He sat there all night until its time for him to pack and go.
It hurts that when I come back from school.. my dad for 2 weeks is gone. And it will take another 2or 3 years before I see him again.
Good thing when I reached 7 yrs old, Dad decided to take us with him to his next destination... Korea. So we could be together for a longer time. Hmm maybe thats the reason why Korea is one of the memorable places I visited. I enjoyed it there... living there, playing with other koreans eventhough they dont speak in english. I studied there too ( seoul academy school ) and had lotsa friends. But all of it wouldnt be as fun .. if we were not together as a FAMILY!

Nineteen things to say to children
1. I love you.. There is nothing that will stop me from loving you. Nothing you could do or say or think will ever change that.
2. You are amazing! I look at you with wonder! Not just at what you can do, but who you are. There is no one like you. No one!
3. It's alright to cry. People cry for all kinds of reasons: when they are hurt, sad, glad or worried, when they are angry, afraid or lonely. Big people cry to. I do.
4. You've made a mistake. That was wrong. People make mistakes, I do. Is it something that we can fix? What can we do? It's all over . You can start fresh. I know you are sorry . I forgive you.
5. You did the right thing. Was that scary or hard? Even though it wasnt easy , you did it! I am proud of you. You should be too.
6. Im sorry, Forgive me. I made a mistake.
7. You can change your mind. It's good to decide but it is also fine to change.
8. What a great idea! You were really thinking. How did you come up with that? Tell me more. You're mind is clever.
9. That was kind. You did something helpful and thoughtful for that person. That must make you feel good inside. Thank you!
10. I have a surprise for you. It's not your birthday. It's for no reason at all. Just a surprise, a little one but a surprise.
11. I can wait. We have time. You dont have to huryy this time.
12. What would you like to do? Its your turn to pick. You have great ideas. Its important to follow your special interest.
13. Tell me about it. I'd like to hear more. And then what happened? I'll listen.
14. Im right here. I wont leave without saying goodbye. I am watching you. I am listening to you.
15. Please and Thank you. There are important words. If I forget to use them, will you remind me?
16. I missed you. I think about you when we are not together.
17. Just try. A little bit. One taste. One step. You might like it. Let's see. I'll help you if you need it. I think you can do it.
18. I'll help you. I heard you call me. Here I am. How can I help you? If we both work together we can get this done. I know you can do it by yourself, but I am glad to help since you asked.
19. What do you wish for? Even if it's not yet time for birthday candles and we dont have a wishbone, its still fun to hear what you wish for, hope for and dream about.

* This article is a great way to stop for awhile and think if we as parents are still on the right track. If we are still being great parents to our kinds. It's ok to check from time to time and make necessary adjustments so that we can mold our children to the right path the best we could =)
