Eisko and Ellaine's Visit

 After their Macau and Hongkong adventure, the father and daughter tandem has time to visit us here in Laguna. Isko is here in the Philippines to visit his family in Sison, Pangasinan, process Ellaine's paper, buy furnitures and do some renovations in their house. We did go to Tagaytay and had late lunch at Leslies, buy presents along the way, visited the houses of my sisters, look at the new house and bond with my children at Leila's  birthday celebrations. 

The Agony of Being Sick

 Its been almost a year that i was hospitalized because of heart and lung problem. I'm still very thankful to my family and friends who helped me during my difficult times in the hospital. It becomes an eye opener for me and made me re- think and realized a lot of things about life. I am very grateful because i survived the trials and thought that i am already okey but i am wrong, its just a start of a more sleepless and breathless days and nights. For a year, my countless asthma & anxiety attack, the never ending laboratory& blood tests, doctors visits, bruises, meds intakes, depressions, allergies, water therapies and many more are really hard to bear. Every morning that i wake up, i always thank God because i am still alive and its a blessing. I just leave everything to the hands of our Lord and i will just do things that will make me happy just like tasting the foods that are not allowed but just one spoon. Old and young, sick or not sick are all the same, we all have our own beginning and end, only God knows when, where and how. For me, i still felt thankful & blessed because there are more who suffered a lot, so i just continue to pray for myself, for my family, friends and to those who really need prayers whether financial, spiritual, health and other reasons. 

Updates on Casa Belle

 Thank God Casa Belle is now on its finishing stage which is also an expensive phase. Starting next week, the number of our workers will now be limited but the works will still continue. We are really thanking God, my children especially Arianne, Joseph, Astrid, Budz for being so supportive of our house project. Each has its contributions and my daughter Belle is very grateful for that. As their mother i am very happy that we work as a team, there's no ifs and buts, they just wholeheartedly helped in the best way they can. 

New Year, New Look

 Dirk decided to have a change in his looks this 2023. He wanted his hair colored black and i did it temporarily just in case he don't like it but it seems he loves it. 

Also, Isko and his two kids arrived yesterday for a month long vacation here in the Philippines. We picked them up at the airport and drive them to the Victory Liner in Pasay. Since they cannot change their bus schedule, they decided to stay in the hotel nearby to rest and freshen up. Their bus left at 10pm last night going to Baguio but their destination is supposed to be Sison, Pangasinan. Isko was not aware that their bus is a point to point bus with no stop and direct to Baguio. Its a stressful trip for him but i think seeing his family and other daughter makes him happy.
