Flowers for Mothers
I have been thinking awhile on what to give my mom this coming Mother’s day. The other year, I think i gave her something for the kitchen and last year, something for her health and maybe this time, I need to give her something different. Different but very beautiful – FLOWERS! Yeah, flowers. The best Mother’s Day Gift. Flowers dot com will deliver the right flowers you ordered – in a fresh and beautiful state. They not only deliver flowers this coming mom’s day, but they deliver to any occassion you want to send flowers as a gift. Am now a mom too hehehehe and I really wish Dimple can remember to hand me just flowers on this special mom’s day. Check out their site now for your mothers day gift and make your order in advance and you can even avail discounts if you purchase now. I wish they will also give discounts to multiple orders. I have more than 1 mom you know. (wink)
Give it a shot!
The First in 2008
It’s the first time and hopefully the last for this year. Mom is admitted at the hospital. Her last admission was middle of last year i guess and it’s only few times too compared to the multiple post-attack admissions in 2006.
She’s been mentioning of not feeling too well these past days and today, before she proceed with her short trip to Cagayan de Oro, she dropped by the hospital for a quick check-up (BP & ECG) and ECG results showed sth that the ROD advised an admission. All her heart doctors are out of town but one will arrive tomorrow. So I told a friend, Mom’s doctor for now is a “joke joke” doctor. The real doctor will arrive tomrrow yet. As of now she is on 10hrs (NPO) for an FBS and Lipid Profile tests tomorrow morning. I asked her attending physician to order it so that when the real doctor will come tomorrow and see the results, she might be able to order a “going home” at the end of the day. 
Tuesday Toot 4/1/2008
The only thing I would like to be featured in my Toot this week is the graduation of my brother last Saturday. You can see photos here.
After many many years of going to school and after 3 children — at last he graduated with a degree in Nursing. I feel i have the right to be happy about it because for the past 2 years while being here at home, he is a pain in my neck and ass. Though I don’t support him financiallyoutright, but i was sort of the food provider and some needs of his family. He was not only a pain to me but to my mom as well and the most to my sister who is working hard to support him. I guess he was the most lucky person in our very hard up family — but well, he dserves that as he is in school. We are all glad he is done with school and only the boards to be hurdled late this year which we all hope that he will pass it.
We didn’t celeberate on his graduation day but we promised him a big celebration if he passes the board.
Grandson or Grandsons?
My mom has two grandsons (one is mine and the other is of my brother) for real but sometime we wonder if we really have 2 because the other one is sort of “mixed”. His name is Carl but eventually turns Carla when he shows us those girly traits. And guess what? Not just his ways but it seems he has something in him that maybe if encouraged, he will turn out a fashionista. I saw some of his kiddie fashion inventions – I could saythat he is really talented. So if my brother 5 years later will be blessed to stay in the states, and sure Carl or Carla that time will will be frew years off from college, then I will encourage my brother to send him to fashion school. I know there are many fashion school that abounds all over america and even mulitple schools in some cities, so my neice/nephew will not a hard time pursuing his/her fashion careers.
A Quick Note
Am on the run but before I will do so let me say to friends who dropped comments that I will get back to you later tonight or anytime of the day if I can. I am going now to Cagayan de Oro for the last day before the burial of my mom’s brother. I guess am the only one they waited for. I was just so busy at work. Still busy today but I have to make a 14 hrs leave. Our family always have this mini-reunion when someone dies. Death in our family naturally can caused us sadness but it’s more on happy feeling because you get to see people you haven’t seen for a long time.
It was my washing time last night – i finished around past 12 and I was so sleepy so I missed Yen’s meme: QOTW! Saddddddddd me. But hopefully next week I can join. I thought of grabbing the questions now but really am running out of time.
But later in the day (i am not sure) if things will be boring out there, I will lgo try to find a net bar and get back online to blog or bloghop. ok?
Wish you all a nice Thursday!
Good Friday Indeed!
You may read my Good Friday thoughts here so I don’t have to rewrite them again in this blog. But I hpe that everyone is blessedly contemplating on Jesus’ death long time ago and we will be convinced that without His death we would be a subject to eternal death. So we can just imagine how much is God’s love for us –
The holiday is almost over. I mean the 3 day of supposedly no work has passed, but not for me. I spend most of my 3 days at work in my office. We are not yet done. If it is not Friday today, am sure by now, I won’t be blogging here. I would still be working. Thank God it’s Friday, I can rest from my labors but really I can’t help to look forward to sunset tomorrow so that i can go buy some stuff to be needed in the office for the work tomorrow night. Tomorrow night would be our last night to prepare everything that is needed for the inspection on Sunday after lunch.
I slept around 10 pm last night and because my phone died between 5am to 8am, the clock did not scream at me. Fortunately, one of the staff who wnated to go into the function room sent a prson to borrow my key. Thus i was able to get up at 8:30. hahahaha. I arrived in the office around 9:15 and had my phone charged. 2 important messages have arrived before my phone went dead:
1. One is that my mom did not go to Cagayan to visit his brother in the hospital but they spend the night last night in vigil because the brother died possibly before they arrived. I did not know that my uncle died. Well, it’s the best for him. Because of the alcohol, complications got hold of his body – so he died. He is now totally free from pain.
2. Another one is from son’s dad informing me that his mom died at 3 am today. She’s 87. I did not reply to this text and an hour later he called me up. I told him that we have death in our family too and if my place is just like Laguna from Apalit, Pampanga, then surely I would be there today. But no….am beyond the seas. He said, they understand. I wished then condolence. Am sure they all are blessed that nanay is now totally at rest.
Supposedly this day is to be spent in relaxation to meditate, but at the office, everyone is in a whirl to finish up the work. Now am back home, I get the time to contemplate and meditate that today is a special day for remembering God’s death that brought salvation to mankind, and the death of my relatives brought peace to themselves and to the family that’s left behind.
I wish every a blessed Good Friday and that we should not be sad as God did rise from the Dead and am positive that I will also see my relatives when the resurrection morning comes.
Almost Perfect
It tastes the way i wanted it but does not look like the way it wanted to. My recipe of yesterday – Vermicilli with Sardines and Spring beans.
What’s wrong? I have added salt before adding the soy sauce. It should have been soysauce first and a little salt to complete the perfect taste.
Oh we had this as snacks at same time lunch at 10:30 yesterday.
