The ABS-CBN TV Plus DTTV Blackbox

First of all, this is not a review yet. I haven't bought ABS-CBN TV Plus DTTV Blackbox. But I am considering buying one because ABS-CBN Channel 2 is very malabo in our free TV. Here's the proof.

Look at Eduardo Buenavista, super handsome but the reception is not clear. Sigh!

A Weekend Spent at our Hometown

Daddy and I have been talking about going to our hometown. It's been 3 months since we last went home so we planned it last weekend. Actually at the last minute we cancelled the plan because of the hot weather. 

However, maybe the universe conspire so it will be favorable for us to go home. It rained that Saturday morning making Daddy to finally decide, yes we will go home. He asked permission so he can report earlier in their weekly meeting and after that we went home to fetch Matthew.

On our way home, Matthew called my in laws to inform them we will arrive. But they wouldn't believe our little boy because when they asked him where are we, he said different places. Haha!

Anyway, even if it rained earlier that morning, it was still hot so we asked Daddy if he can stop by at 7-Eleven to buy Slurpee. Unfortunately, the Slurpee machine was not working at the 7-Eleven branch that we stopped by. So we looked for another branch on our way home. We failed to find a store along the way but we were still lucky to passed by Mini Stop and Daddy bought sundae for us.

On Health and Personalabs

Last December we had our annual physical exam. After having sampled for blood, urine and stool, I was advised to return the following day and get the results. Unfortunately, I got slight infection based on the urinalysis results. The doctor prescribed an antibiotic to be taken for 7 days and advised me to return and have follow-up test before releasing the certification that I am fit to work. After 7 days, the test gave a good result. 

The entire test consume three days wherein I need to take a leave ftom work on the two-day follow-up check up. This does not only consume time but money as well. If there is already more comfortable services offered in the Philippines like Personalabs, having annual physical exam won’t be a hassle.

My Sweet Boy + His Coming Birthday

Yesterday, I was not feeling well but I still chose to go to work. When I got back home, Matthew approached us to give us hug and kisses, I told him I was not feeling well.

I went straight to our bedroom to rest a little. But I remembered I have to prepare the order for today's shipping.

Nutri10 Plus Syrup for Matthew

Matthew is taking multivitamins everyday. I followed his Pediatrician's prescription and he's taking up that prescribed multivitamins until now. It never crossed in my mind to look for another multivitamins because he is hiyang naman. 

However, a week ago, Werts Philippines send us over several bottles of Nutri10 Plus Syrup.

Mother's Day 2015: A Letter to My Nanay

Today let me honor the woman who has a great contribution to who I am today. I wrote a letter for her even though I know she cannot read and understand this anymore.

Dear Nanay,

I remember when I was asking you to buy me a cellphone. I cried hard when you told me you cannot buy me a cellphone yet. I made tampo and didn't talk to you that much. Then days after, you gave me a second hand cellphone and I was so happy. You always cannot stand seeing us unhappy and discontented. You will do anything to give us what we want.

You worked so hard so we can finished our studies. Still I cannot think how'd you able to budget your salary, with all three of us going to school and Tatay has no permanent work.

Our family isn’t perfect. You and Tatay had so many trying times. He had been unfaithful to many times. I almost hate him. But you always forgive him.

Easy Soft Shoes by World Balance

A week ago, we started to wear our new uniform. 

Compared to our previous company uniform that is just polo shirts, this is a little formal. This the reason why Daddy and I agreed to buy a pair of shoes. May connect ba? Haha.

Just in time, we received our Google Adsense earnings. So off we went to the mall and look for new shoes. Initially, I bought 2 pairs of ballet shoes (2 pairs for PhP 399) and a Duralite Audrey Pumps, while Daddy bought a pair of leather shoes. I prefer buying less expensive shoes but I always buy many pairs that's because I like wearing different shoes everyday, hehe.

I tried to wear the ballet shoes at work but nanghinayang ako. Since we are working in a feed mill, it's dusty and when it rains, it's muddy kahit pa concrete pavement. Sayang ang shoes. Same with Daddy's new leather shoes.

Luckily, when we went to the grocery last week, we saw these Easy Soft Shoes by World Balance.

Easy soft shoes looked like leather shoes no? But its actually made of vicro-tech material making it durable, waterproof, flexible and shock-absorbing.

I wear my shoes with toe socks because even it has a foam foot bed, I am having foot sores for wearing it for a long a time.

Daddy experienced the same thing too. He also had to wear socks. But overall, the Easy Soft Shoes is still comfortable to wear.

We also plan to buy a pair of Easy Soft Shoes kids for Matthew so he can use it alternately with his school shoes. Especially that the rainy days is coming, Easy Soft Shoes being water resistant is good to use and easy to clean.

By the way the Easy Soft Shoes is just PhP 349.75. Very affordable right? For more available designs, visit their site: https://www.worldbalance.com.ph/wb-easy-soft/.

My 34th, A Day Well Spent

My birthday passed by just like that! Bitin!

Anyway, I enjoyed my day so much. It was a tiring, happy happy day for me. By the way, my first is always a holiday that's why I get to enjoy my day without thinking about work.

Now, let me share how my special day went through photos.

We woke up early that morning to do some physical activities. Daddy ran around the clubhouse while Matthew and I played basketball. I need to buy him a pair of sports shoes too right?

Monday Inspiration: Slow to Anger

Today let me share another Inspirational quote to start up our week.

Monday Inspirational Quote

"Do not be quickly provoked in your spirit, 

for anger resides in the lap of fools."

- Ecclesiastes 7:9

I am only human. I get angry. I get mad. I hurt people. I know that shouldn't be an excuse. It's not healthy. It breaks my heart.

So today, I am praying for more love, patience and understanding. I will not allow anger to eat me and overrule my being. I'll be slow to anger and be more understanding.

Have a great week everyone!
