Gabi went down the stairs hurriedly as if someone or something is following her. I thought she was just playing with Bambam but when I saw her shocked face, I know something is not right. She immediately went to me and cried that there was this hairy caterpillar on the window beside the clock. I was confused as to what she had seen so I went upstairs to their room and checked the windows but found none. So I asked her again where and she pointed to the window in our room. She does not want to go near it because it gives her the creeps. When I checked on the window, I found that there is a little brown higad (hairy caterpillar) on the window. I was surprised to find it there, of all the places, so I sprayed with an insecticide. more…

However, to get home early is impossible because in all of the days in a week, why the h— buendia is always congested every friday going down to Baclaran. After passing south superhighway I have to step out of the bus and start walking to reach my destination LRT Buendia station…because if not, I will be having 9-9…get it! more…

toothpickSome nights ago, while I was clearing the table after dinner, I heard Bato called to Gabi to give him toothpick. I’ve instructed the two girls before to wash first the toothpick before using because we don’t know how sanitized they are, so when she handed one to her Dad, Bato was slightly doubtful as to why it was wet. I then joked with him that Gabi already used it because she took some time in the kitchen before giving it to her dad. But Gabi innocently defended herself that she was able to wash it after using before giving it to her dad. And that really caused all of us to laugh very hard while Gabi is still wondering what’s the joke about.

bam-bamJust like all Adventist school, Friday is half day only. When Bambam arrived home, I asker her how’s exam and she told me that she was able to get 95% on her Math. I was ecstatic and happy for her, and she’s just a little bit short of having P100 today. When Gabi arrived, she’s very proud to announce that she got 93% on her Math. This is really the cherry on the ice cream for me. I did not expect her to get that score and I’m very happy for her. more…

Today is the kid’s 1st day of monthly exam.  I don’t like exams, not because I have to review their lessons, but because this means we have to pay our monthly tuition dues.  As usual, I forgot again to allocate the required amount until the last minute.  Yesterday, upon arriving from school, Bambam refuses to go to school when I told her that we haven’t paid yet.  Gabi then would not review because according to her, she will not be taking the exam since there’s no payment yet.  I think the teachers really had that influence on them, so and I told them to stop worrying about the payment but worry about their exam today. more…

Gabi has an assignment on her computer class to provide ten different websites. Immediately I told her to list all websites we are managing right now and don’t forget to remind her teacher to visit them all *winking*

Then I remember, they do not have internet access in their computer room, so how can they browse them? Anyways, maybe the teacher wants to know other sites besides yahoo, google and friendster.

Bato (not his real name) has been complaining of his singaw (mouth blister) for a couple of days now. And as we women know, men are not that really have the patience for pain to wear off on its own. So to once and for all stop the supposedly “agony” on his side and as well as end the whining, I suggested for him to apply it with CMD. Since Larry, it’s distributor is very proud of saying that this mineral drops cures almost anything, we then put it on a test. I’ve tried it once to put on Gabi’s open wound after a bad fall from her bike, tears unexpectedly fall down from her eyes because of the pain. I then realized that, its saltwater that’s why its that painful when applied to open wound. After that incident, Gabi never want to be near that bottle again.

Back to Bato, after a little coaxing and assuring him that it will be alright, he agreed to apply it to his singaw. The video below will all tell the pain, agony and suffering one drop caused him.
