Leave of Absence

It's my Forced Leave today Nov. 29 (thursday!). Woke up at 10:45 am :) Did my laundry and  cleaned the window panes.I bathe our dogs Joe black and Tiger.. Getting ready for my niece's visit tomorrow (with parents of course!).

I am just so excited to see her =D Missing her charm a lot!

I am smiling now in front of the Computer. Checking my usual sites. I am just so sad I am not able to write more at mylot but soon, really soon! LOL But can't believe I can have daily games with Mr Ray,my Indonesian friend. It's fun anyway. Whether it's chess, mabuga, draw my thing and again, reversi! LOL

Again i missed my Monday-Wednesday updates but I'll see what I can write.

Monday (Nov 26)

It's Mama Joy's bday! :) She had a pretty red and white balloon arrangement made ate kitty again! =D

We had snacks courtesy of her in the afternoon. Baked spag, pan de leche and chicken!

Then it was a plan for us to have dinner at their house and yes more of yummy food! Everything tasted great!

Especially the black forest, it was really unforgettable! I wanted more but was full enough to stop. :/

Only ate Burn wasn't there with us yet because she was on an overtime but later she came for the last minute party.

Kuya Badong and Kakin arrived to fetch ate and when they decided to send ate Melz home, I also asked to have a ride. I reached home by 8:45 and of course still watch Sungkyungkwan Scandal till 11 with ate :)

Oh Hannah was not an MCWD employee anymore but best in life for her new career path!:)

Tuesday (Nov 27)

Let's see. Hmmm.. I really can't remember particular events on this day :S Oh! I learned to play Reversi. Mr. Ray taught me! It's an awesome mind game. Really =D

Wednesday (Nov 28)

I asked permission from Sir Oj that I will have my Forced Leave to be re-scheduled on Nov 29 and he approved! Yehey! :) I worked hard of furnishing my work. From reports to logbooks, to clearing and to OR's needed to be forwarded.

We were able to let the Job Orders and Casual employees have their salaries but it was already past 5:30. It's a relief for us, we know they also needed money soon. I remember 1 employee whose wife gave birth Tuesday. His wife can actually be discharged by noontime of Wednesday only that their money lacks  1500 for the hospital bill. I decided to give his salary on advance, it was just 3pm that day, no payroll check yet but I really pity them.

I decided to extend at the office since I'm not returning on Thursday and Friday is already a holiday too.

Ate texted me for a meeting at the church but I asked her to just go and relay because I really need to finish some important work. I called papa to fetch me by 8 pm.

We watch the korean series again till 10 pm.

Friday is holiday and our Admin department planned to have the Family day at Gumasa. I wanna go of course, only that it is also the Family Day of West District Anchor Bay Church. So I am so much torn between the 2 events. What made me decide of staying for the ABC Family day, is because my niece and parents are coming home!!! Of course =D Would love the thought of being here at home with all of them!

I told my office mates, what is family day without my family?:) hehehe!! And another thing is I'm incharge of leading the youth for a Special Number. Finally I was able to come up with 2 nice Christian songs that can be associated with family. 

1. To You (with the line, "You set me in Your family calling me Your own")

2. As for me and my house we will serve the Lord!

Anyway, it's 3:30. A little later am leaving for church to return ate Mayang's tablet which she asked me to fill with nice android games. Then I might text ate to Shop for kid's stuff today. I believed mamang is going with us. In short, it's going to be a busy day!!!!!!

God bless!!

Geee.. Late at Cemetery means more cleaning?

SATURDAY update
I actually mentioned on my previous post that my family don't visit the cemetery on Nov 1 or 2 but instead before or after. :) So we decided to go yesterday (Nov 3). Guess what! My relatives' tombs where located at the end most part of the public cemetery and we were all surprised it has become a dumping area!

NO RESPECT! I wish they know how to spell this word. Even a kid knows how!
From stones, plastics, soils, grasses and just every kind of waste was found on my little sister's tomb!

We went there early as 6:30 and we wen't home 10:30 am. We were really tired. Mom was left at home so it was just me, ate and papang there. We removed all trash, lucky there were 2 kids who approached us to help in exchange of money. We agree but did not asked them to carry heavy stones but just asked them to transfer the grasses and plastics to the empty lot.

I didn't eat breakfast so was really exhausted! Geee that's when papang told us we would have the tomb fix next year. To have make it higher so it would not look like a dumping area.

Bought yummy veggie viands at Manong's! At least- the exhaust is well rewarded.

Immediately bathe when we got home and watched 2 Episodes of Faith (2 hours straight).
I then worked on some online jobs while ate fell asleep.

The weather wasn't good so I left home for church by 3:30 pm.

We had no Youth Fellowship because only few young people attended. It was okay since I decided and asked them to have our practice early then later we would go to college area,  to attend Uncle Toni's wake.
I was the song leader for today. Kuya Brayn & Don2x was here.

We left the church by 6:40 pm, I sent ate SMS saying we would just  meet each other at College.

Uncle Toni was a former Barangay Captain and said he would run again next election. So the incident may be a political issue.

There was a service at 8pm and ended by 9. That's when we start talking with church mates while having our snacks.

Mami Wee had someone with her! She was Reign, a pretty young girl. She was a stranger but Mami Wee took her. It was her first time here in Cotabato City. She know nothing about our place but her mom sent her on an errand. Mami Wee notice that while on travel (riding on a van), Reign's seatmate was already touching her hair, as if he was caressing her! He was taking advantage of the pretty girl's innocence. When the van arrived at Cotabato City, the man wouldn't let Reign leave anymore and said he will take care of her!

Geeeeeeeeeee scary! He wouldn't even give the girl's baggage anymore. He surely had a bad plan!
But God was so amazing, it's a blessing that Mami Wee was just behind Reign and the man's seat. She heard everything that made her decide to bring Reign with her.

We arrived home by 10:30, really tired so by 11:30 I went to sleep. ;)

SUNDAY update
Woke up 7:30, felt like sick today :( Went to church by 8:30, Dana & Ghia were with me.

Had some old new faces today. Mamang Flor was here with Hannah, yeah Don2x and Merobeth, Nanay Banguis and ate Jean too. Glad to be seeing them again

Went home by 12noon. I let the kids play at the PC and was my turn at 2pm.It's 5pm now and by God's grace Kuya is expected to be here by 6 pm from Dipolog.

A little later we will go again at College  Tonight will be Uncle Toni's last night. Means I may or may not be adding up more updates later. Will do it tomorrow.

Bye and have a Blessed Sunday Evening!

Meow on Leave (Sunday & Monday Updates)

Hello everyone! Today is Tuesday and yes I didn't go to the office :)
I filed both Mon & Tue as my Forced Leave!

Was really busy during my weekend. Didn't got the chance to post a short update here but I can do it today ;)

Saturday

Since we slept over my sister-in-law's family house, we needed to be awake by 6:30 am. Our little darling Liah (niece) was still sleeping so I,my sister, brother and sis-in-law ate breakfast. I missed having meals with the couple! The last time we visited them was during my mamang's check-up 4 months ago.
Served on the table were rice,meatloaf,egg,fried fish,papaya for desert and chiffon cake (which we brought for them).

Our niece woke up 7 am and funny she immediately looked for me and my sister. haha sweet!
She ate and immediately prepared for the Family Day event to be held at Cinderella Farm. It's a farm also owned by the school owner.

She didn't like the dress haha. It was a pink one-sided strapped floral dress. My niece was not a girly type, but her lola (grandma) told her she can't dance on stage if she won't wear the outfit.

Her lola dressed her up and I combed her hair, put on her bracelet & earrings. We were both ready to party!

We rode on different vehicles. They were on the blue car (my kuya,sis-in-law, Liah, lola and lola while me, my ate (sis) and papang driving the pink cab.

All the kids were cutie on their outfits! Awesome! Stunning and really superstars! I saw every kid has their own support group from parents to siblings, grandparents to yaya's! haha

They began with the parade of costumes, then later on the dance per class, raffles, magic show, parlor games. The venue was a like a park with benches and tables everywhere.

But what ruined Liah's mood? Uhmmm! When Jollibee and Hetty danced. She is still afraid of that big BEE! But tita Meow isn't afraid at all. I was in front of the stage and took a video of them :$ I am still a fan at my age =) haha!

We wen't home by 12:30 pm and Liah were with us on the pink car. We were both at the back and she was so talkative. I took videos of her =] We rested and 4 pm we went to my other brother's Church Thanksgiving. Liah was ok but later on she became irritable made me think she's already tired and sleepy. Her parents fetched her.

The church was finely decorated,the members were all accommodating and you can see they are all happy. They've prepared many presentations. In short- we ate dinner by 8:15pm (awwwwww!!!)

I was supposed to sleep at my sis-in-law's family house but to cut the story, I ended sleeping at my other brother's rented house with my papang, while my older brother and wife stayed at the hospital in preparation for her Monday morning operation. She had a lump in her stomach that caused her pain during menstrual periods.

Monday
My older brother assured it's ok and told us to return to Cotabato City after lunch and so we did.

(for picture purposes)

My other brother went to his office first to arrange some issues, then we went to his rented house for his stuffs. Had 2 yummy Magnums while waiting for him! We left Koronadal by 3pm. We had countless, well countless because I was taking nap most of our travel time, but for sure it's more than 5 times that our pink vehicle stopped for some problems.

Praise God we arrived safe and sound by 7pm. I was so dusty, I sat at the back of our cab. Was so tired, just ate dinner, washed up, did some urgent online commitments then went to bed.

I love God and am always thankful for his travelling mercies to me and my family. :D

Pls help me spell the word POISE haha :D I don't really have it!

Today /Tuesday
I decided to write updates for the past few days I skipped. So I won't be writing more about today, will get back tomorrow. Have a fine Tuesday!:) I woke up 10 am, did the laundry, washed the dishes and exactly 2 pm I am here in front of the computer.

Hope this day is going to be productive as always. babye!

Busy Long Saturday is Over!

I woke up 5:20 am today, needed to be at the church by 6. We will be going to the Kids Fellowship at Nicaan. As usual, Filipino time means delayed! We left the church by 6:45 and arrived at the venue by 8:20. We registered 11 kids while the mothers attended the Women's Fellowship at a nearby church.

I have become an instant staff/facilitator when I was not formally informed about it. LOL but had fun.
So tired, so many kids but so happy to have the fellowship with them.

We ate lunch and by 12:15 noon we decided to leave with Dadi Manoy. Arrived at Cotabato City by 1:30 and commuted to reach home. Packed our things and 2pm we left the house. We passed by the church because I left my phone there in the morning =)

We arrive at Koronadal by 5pm. I was taking naps between our trip. I didn't mind the vehicles following us, what to do? I was really sleepy!

My niece was so happy to see us! She was unmanageable! She has lots of stories to tell and lots of things to show us. It's a never ending story telling lol total show off =) She was just so adorable.

Lunch was so yummy!=)

8:50 pm now and I just wanted to write an update here. Will sleep immediately after this.
Me and ate will sleep here at Reyes while Papang will sleep at Kuya Kem's.

I just submitted my BuddyPoke lens for the Celebrate Quest. Hope it will pass. I made few comments too. Will work more tomorrow. I can't visit mylot. :/ Family first over money!:)

Thank God for today! Please take care again tomorrow's activity! Take care of everything at Cotabato City too! Love you God. Mwah!
