T.I.R.E.D. but...

i wanted to post this on FB but seemed too long for a status. so then i just decided to write a little bit more and put it on my blog. it needed an update anyways, after almost half a year. :D

--oo0oo--

lately, TIRED has become my favorite word. wasn't even able to cook proper lunch nor dinner for hubby. it has always been a problem for me to think about what to cook given the short pocket of time that i have and the varied appetite of my customers (namely the piglets and hubby); moreso now that hubby is on a special diet after the operation.  sigh!

on a positive note, we've got good progress on alex's family tree school project. and i feel really proud about it.  we've known about this project for a longer time. from the very start, i knew exactly what we would do. but then, things got busy.  there were cakes to bake, parties to organize, hubby's operation, and andy's birthday celebrations, etc., etc.  

today, at last, i decided to start the ball rolling. since the morning i was working on it.  it was so frustrating. i had the idea, but executing it was a different matter. add to that that piglets keep wanting my attention. the whole day's schedule was just getting in the way.  but then after dinner, i finally got it! eureka! 

i cannot remember putting so much time and effort to my school projects like this.  and it's really kinda fun.   just a little more tweaking and then it's done. oh wait, we still need to practice her presentation. oh well, at least we'll get to see her presentation this time.  very much looking forward to it!

excited much?! :D

brought the kids late to kg. i was still driving when i got a call so i wasn't able to pickup. later i got a call from my friend that there's a delivery guy waiting for me. so i called back the guy and asked him to wait for me. and so he did. 

i was in a hurry. thinking it was the kid's house for the garden, i ran to him asked him to go to the garage. he must be thinking i'm nuts because then he showed me a much smaller box than i imagined. and then i read the word "kvety" which mean flowers. i felt so silly!!! :))) later on i realized that the house order was already cancelled :D 

thank you daddy!!! muah! i love you! this time you got the colors right! it's perfect! ;) 

and thank you to all my friends and family who greeted me and is about to greet me. you all made an impact in my life whether big or small. each and every touch made me who i am today. thank you LORD!

surprise baby shower honoring

had a good day today. was at a surprise baby shower honoring for a friend who is also temporarily leaving bratislava to deliver the baby in philippines.  as surprises go, we were the ones who were caught off guard when the honoree walked in on us still not done with the decorations.

i've always been thankful for the friends i've met here in bts.  however, i'm not sure if i just tried to play it cool this whole time or what.  but surprise! surprise! i started shedding tears while reading my prayer blessing.  i almost choked on my words.  i guess they've touched our lives so much that my emotions got the better of me.  they are not just friends. they are our family here in this far off place.

thank you LORD for this day. and thank you for the people you've sent our way. we love you all!

my little pirates

today karol and alex have carnival in kindergarten.  in slovak tradition, a carnival is where kids dress up in character. today the biglets are dressed as pirates.  however, due to the cold weather, i didn't get to see them in their full costume and face paint.  i did their face paint but they had to dress in kindergarten.  i could only imagine how they are based on our dress rehearsals. :D
