Happy Birthday to my best friend

My BFF Cindy just turn 33 last 25th.  We had her party yesterday here at my place.  it was indeed a success party.  I am prety sure she had fun and so did everyone who came. 

I've known Cindy for 4 years.  We are both from the same island in Philippines.  We meet through my best friend sister Jess.  After the 1st time we meet we never had communication.  We saw each other again thru our common friends Shine party.  When Cindy had her 2nd child;  I was surprised when the ask me to be their daughters Godmother.  I was glad and so as Roger because unexpectedly he is the Godfather.  After that Cindy and I been getting to know each other until came to the point that we feel at least I did feel that she is more like a mother of my godchild but she become my bestfriend. 

Cindy is a very good person.  I am glad that God gave her to my life.  She is a friend that everyone wanted to have.  Hoping we will be friend forever.  So far no issue yet that came and hope there will be none.

Plan for the Weekend

This will be another busy weekend for Roger and I; as usual party, grocery and some
extra things to do on the side.

• Roger will be bringing Angelina to her CCD class.
• Pick up couple things I needed for the party like the utensils and drinks.
• Saturday January 29th; we will be having a birthday party for my friend in my house.
• I will be having at least 20 people, another full house. One thing I like on this party, not only it is in my place, I will not be doing a lot of cooking. I will cook couple dishes and that’s it.
• Sunday will be church in the morning and maybe we will be going to a kid’s birthday party. We’ll see if I can sweet talk to my husband; which always no problem. It all depends on me.

This will be more likely what will happen on my weekend.

Thank God It's Friday

We all survive this week. This is a very long week being at week. We all used to work,
work and work mostly no time to take our breaks. But this week? We are run out of
things to do. Surprisingly we made it through this week. If this week so boring how
much more next week. I may start doing my resume.

Temperature of below zero

Yesterday was so very called outside. Roger and I went to work late. It was too cold that end up bringing the girls to school. As a mother I was worried for my girls. Every time I talked to my husband how cold out him always relate the temperature way back when he was a kid, which I hate it. I don’t care if he was cold or not then, I am looking after what’s good for my girls.

Frost bite is what I am more concern. Base on what the news keep saying that the temp

is below zero. Don’t let the kids wait to long in the stop for more than 10 minutes. In

which just walking through the bus stop it will take them 10 minutes and of course they

have to wait how long I don’t know.

Everyone dress up in layers.  Girls looking like ninja's but who cares the important is they dress up warm. 

Anyway I was glad that Roger decided to drive the kids to their school. Their safety is

more important.

 

 

I Hate Snow

I know it is winter but we already have too much snow.  Every week since the start of the year 2011 we always have snow storm.  It was beautiful at first but now we already had enough.  Once again next week we be having another snow storm.  Kids already have 2 snow days.  They may end up going to school until July.  For husband and i we can't just call out from work everytime it snowed.  

This is the worst snow I have experienced.  Not only it is cold but the driving condition is sucks, especially that our car the blower is broken.  I have to bundle up to keep myself warm. 

I can't wait for summer at least spring for now.  SNOW go somewhere. 

Driving Situation

I have been in US for almost 11 years now. You think I should be get used to cold weather. But no, I still hate it. The more if it is snowing outside. This winter is sucks. Every week we always have snow. Right now we have pile and piles of snow that not melting yet. Kids love it though. Another reason I don’t like snow is the driving condition.

Driving in snow is scary. Like tonight the road are a little bit slippery. I don’t know what it came into my mind but I thought it once that maybe if we can put chain on the tires. Not knowing that you can buy tire chains. You can buy one that is easy to install. This is cool.  Putting chain on your tires probably a little bit scary specially driving on an icy road. 

What if I will tell my husband? This should be good for us. No reason for us not to be able to go to work because of the weather condition.

I will be losing my job

Last November , a week before thanksgiving we found out that we will be losing our job. Starting March 15th, 2 departments in my company will be handle by another RBO.  We all not happy about it but what we can do. 

Starting yesterday some of our jobs are been sent to Longmont Colorado RBO.  Today I did get hit on this changes.  I was doing less and it made my day slow and longer.  I can tell you right now i won't be happy until i find out when my last day.  So that i can move on.  I hate losing my job.  I think it is good for me.  I can spend time with the girls for the summer and God willing we can able to buy a second car.  I can find a job closer to where we live.  Overall I know I will be loving this changes.

For now I will just calm.  Do my job as there's no changes coming on the way.  I am not worry about this changes. I know God is there is guide me.  He will never leave me.

Game Fanatic

My husband and i are not really into sports.  Good thing we have girls if not we are in big trouble.  I know a lot of friends are hook up into games.  Each one has their favorite team.  Like people here in Boston they are so crazy with their own team; celtics, patriots, redsox.  Even they have their own team i know they still like to cheer with other team except for the one that can beat their own team. 

I remember when my father inlaw was still alive.  He watched a all games, from basketball even to a car raising.  Which to tell you the most boring to watch on tv.  When it comes to holiday and you don't know what to give him?  he is more likely the best one you can give any ticket for any sports or even on any team.  Especially when it comes to basketball forget it.  There was a time I thinking to gave him a ticket for basketball,  for  team sacramento kings, houston rockets, Boston celtics, LA lakers or a
concert ticket more likely for everyone.

About sports i know soon my girls will be in to it. They kinda right now.  It will not me in a long run that we all be hook up to games. 

Father and son reunited

For most of us we are so lucky growing up with our parents.  There maybe few that you may not live with them because parents are devorce or whatever but at least anytime you need them they are their, you have a communication. 

My husband is not fortunate unlike us.  Him and his dad been away from each other when he was 5 years old.  The last time he saw him was when his dad told him, he is going to pick him up and they both going to California.  but that did not happened.  Poor Roger had all his stuff all ready but his dad never came.  He kept on waiting and waiting but no dad came to pick him up.  Never heard anything from him explaining what happen.  Until he only heard that his real dad gave his mom and his step dad a money to use to adopt him.  Roger grow up with all this question in mind if his dad loved him or not.  He never have any contact, no communication with his real dad even with any side of that family. 

Until 10 years ago when I just got here in US.  We accidentally bumped to one of his Aunt his dads sister.  Roger was so happy.  She even been invited to our wedding.  And this Aunt sent a picture of us to his brother Rogers Dad.  But this Aunt passed away after a couple months and Roger was hoping to see his father @ the funeral but he did not came.  So there's another diappointment.  But through some relative Roger finally found any information where really his real dad and they start communicating with each other.

They been communication for 10 years but never had a chance to meet again until day the last day of 2010 his dad passes away.  It was sad but in a positive way at least they have a chance to talked to each other finding out what happen to those years they been away from each other.  Explained what was really happen.

And finally yesterday 15th of January Roger and his dad reunited again.  Reunited but not in a way they wanted to be.  We got his dads ashes and according to my youngest daughter Angel we will keep the ashes and someday when Rogers time to go, then we can put the ashes with him.  So then they will be together all the time. 

As my husband told me i have to be thankful that I have my parents.  No matter how pain in the ass they are, but at least I still have them. 

Out of School

Today my kids did not make it to school.  Due to the snow we received an annuncement from TV and call from the principal that the kids school will be delay for 2 hours.  So this means that the bus pick up schedule will also be delayed for 2 hours.  Here i am before leaving for work kept telling my mom that the bus will pick up the kids @ 10 instead of 8.  I even called from work to make it sure she understood and remember. 

i don't know what she was thinking they start walking going to the bust stop @ 9:15 45 minutes before the pick up time.  On the way they saw from far that a school bust just left.  They thought that, that was the girls bus ride. They went home and the girls did not go to school. 

When i got home from work between my mom and my kids telling me that they did not made it to the bus on time.  The bus was there before 10.  I told them that was not for them that was for the middle school kids.  the principal called to find out where are the girls.  So i guess this will be first thing what we are going to do tomorrow.  Call the school and explain to them what happen. 

I don't know what my mom is thinking.  Bus will arrive @ 10 but they left the house 915 so this means they have to wait 45 minutes in the very cold weather.  No wonder the kids keep complaining that they always cold.  I love my mom but sometimes she is not thinking.  She is not that smart.  Sorry to say this but it is true.
