The virus is spreading….

My mom went to Cebu for a three-day conference and when she arrived, she is not feeling well and she has cough and cold. Then my dad got the virus, and I got the virus which I passed to Cobi and yaya. So by Sunday afternoon, almost all of us in the house are sick.

So I was really lazy from Sunday to Tuesday to work since I really feel sick and weak and I really have to stop and rest because even if I wanted to, my mind is not really working and I am really not being productive. I just slept almost the whole day during those days to recuperate and I only stand up when Cobi needs to feed from me.

Cobi, my mom, my dad, yaya and I are almost doing well now and I just hope that the virus will stop spreading so Howell and Bela will be spared from it.

I thought it will just be a quiet day for me and I will be able to work the whole day to finish all my pending work but then it turn out to be one busy (but productive) day for me:

• I started working around 9 AM and was able to finish quite a few of my pending work.
• We left the house around 3 PM to fetch Bela to school
• It rained in the afternoon so there is heavy traffic on our way to St. Scholastica and we were an hour late. Thank goodness Bela did not get mad at us and she was safe inside the campus while waiting for us.
• After fetching Bela, we went to Shakey’s for our afternoon snacks.
• After eating, we went around the stores and my mom, my sister, my sister and law and I were able to buy clothes that we can wear for Cobi’s baptism. Though I am still not that happy with what I got so I might go around the malls again this weekend.
• While we are shopping for clothes, Howell was able to run to National Bookstore to buy envelopes for Cobi’s baptism invitation so we can start distributing it tomorrow.
• We were also able to go to Landmark and buy some PJs for Cobi and some clothes for Dominique, my niece.
• While we were in landmark, Howell and Bela were able to do some shopping too at the toy store there.

I can’t believe we were all able to do this in just a span of four hours.

I love watching the show America’s Next Top Model. Aside from the fact that I find the judges funny, I love the show as I am really in awe at how the makeup artist and the hair stylist transforms the model from one look to the next as they change themes every week.

I have no talent when it comes to hair and makeup so I am wondering if it is a natural born talent or I will learn to be a good hair and makeup artist like them if I will enroll in beauty school in Wichita.

Beauty school in Wichita is one of the thirty branches of Regency Beauty Institute. I heard a lot of good feed backs about them as they really produce great hair and makeup artist. Well I guess, if you study in a school with nothing but the best professors in the beauty industry and a campus that mirrors the upscale salons, then there is no reason for you not to excel and be the best hair and makeup artist.

I am in a rush right now as I still have a number of pending tasks that I need to finish before the 25 hour deadline. I really planned to work the whole day today but I suddenly had a change of plans when my daughter begged that I bring her to school. I promised her yesterday that I will bring her to school today so when she started asking that I should go with her, I really can’t find in my heart to say no as I know it will really break her heart.

So now I am cramming (as I always do) and I am hoping that I will find the energy to stay up late to finish everything that I need to finish.

This is hubby’s house in Bicol. I think it has been more than a decade when they left this house when they move to Manila. They only go to Bicol maybe once or twice a year since they left and so nobody took care of their house there.

But since Mama is now back in Bicol, they wanted to repair the house as they will be going home to Bicol now more often to visit mama and it is also mama’s wish to see their house back to the way it was before.

When papa and my sister in law was there for a month after mama’s burial, they were able to start the house repair and renovation. They were able to install discount laminate flooring already, install shower at the CR, install wall divider for the two rooms, and install new roofing. There is still more work to be done but at least it will keep papa busy. And I think more work is coming as they are planning to buy the lot beside their property so they can have a bigger lawn and garden as they know that mama would love that also and the kids can have a bigger place to go home to every time they go home to Bicol.

Hubby is happy with the progress of the house renovation and I know he can’t wait to go back to Bicol to visit their house again.
