Where's my PR?!

Well, it's been almost 7 mos. since I've started this blog of mine... Everybody has their own interpretation on how to gain and increase one's PR. I also have done my thing on this, but my research had only led me to confusion. ahahaha! I tried doing all those step-by-step procedures that they've said, but the outcome is still the same My blog has been PR0 from the very start.
The only importance I know and believe about this so called thing is that you've got to have a high PR if you'll venture into this so called "paid blogging" and earn extra $$$.

As for me, I still do earn even if I have PR0. though I know it doesn't match the earnings of those who have a higher PR :) I am so thankful that there's still quite a number of people who frequently visits and take a peek into my blogs. I've learn a lot since I've started to blog, friendships blossoms over the net. This I think are far more important than this PR thingy, right?! Well, I will continue to blog even it remains PR0. Blogging is already a part of me, a part of my daily activity and I intend to keep it for as long as I heart Blogging!

Life goes on...

In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life. It goes on.
~Robert Frost

We need to face life with positive thoughts. So that whenever we encounter problems, It wouldn't look like as if the world will end for us. With or with out us, it will continue to evolve. One thing I learned in this so called life is to fight and and give my best. Laugh at even the smallest and nonsense joke, for laughter keeps me sane. Cry and pour myself out, for I might never unload my pains the next time I cry. I will live my life to the fullest, for I don't want to regret and end up asking myself the question, "What if?!"

During Our Trying Times

Last Saturday, I was able to get all the results of me pap smear and trans-v ultrasound for my annual check-up with the OB. The results of the laboratory brings tears on my hubby's eyes. the results says that I have 3 cysts found on my ovaries and 2 Myoma. I myself felt scared as i saw the results. But good thing that the OB attested to us that there's nothing to worry much because of it's early detection. I have to undergo again an ultrasound next month, to check if it's still there as it could have been just hormonal cause I'm on my fertility period. It could just be my egg cell ovulating. or if it's really a cyst, it is yet to find out if it's cancerous or not. I've been taking medications already for the regularization of my menstruation period. I was given PROVERA. And the OB told me that it help out to shrink the myomas and I should take it religiously from the 15th day of my first period to the 24th and she also reminded me to take it as prescribed for I might bleed if I didn't follow all her instructions.

I have realized that during these trying times in our life. I have made the right decision in my life. I was so overwhelmed with love from Ian, I feel so secure of his love and support. I told him that we don't have enough money for all the medications and lab tests but he kept on asking me to think positive instead of ignoring my health condition which I agree will turn out to be more costly if I just ignore it. Thank God that he never fails to listen to our prayers.

The weekend I had

Last Saturday, I was able to accomplish overdue tasks at home.
I woke up at 5:30 a.m just to be able to get done with this one..

Oh my this has always been the scenario every Saturday morning..

was able to burn on CD the nursery rhymes for the little girl. thanks to Geneive and Gia for doing this one... As gabby told me that she weren't able to sing last Friday because each one of them has to bring their own.


And during the whole time last week, i was really pissed off whenever i am sending and receiving text messages from my cellphone because a multimedia message keeps on coming in at my outbox and my battery easily runs only for a couple of hours though it's been fully charged. Have it checked out over the weekend and found out that it contains a virus according to the technician. And it came from the memory card... I remember i had it connected to our computer at home when i transferred the photos to my usb flash drive.

Was able to reformat the phone but still, the "multimedia message keeps on coming in at my outbox. what could have been the problem this time? Ay susme... Di naman nireformat nung technician yung memory card ko! will go back and have it reformat again... haay...

Gabby's Top Ten Questions!

Minsan tinanong niya ako, "Mama, kapag ba nasa langit na hindi na pwede bumalik sa atin?! Sabi ko, bakit mo naman tinatanong yan?At ang sagot niya

" Gusto ko na bumalik si Lolo dito sa atin, magpapatimpla ako sa kanya ng oatmeal eh!"

Ito ang mga madalas at halos paulit-ulit na katanungan ng aking panganay na anak na si Gabby.

• bakit dalawa ang kamay natin?
• bakit ba natutulog ang bata? para lumaki? eh nag matanda? ngpapalaki pa din?
• bakit kulot ang buhok mo 'ma? bakit si Daddy straight? eh, si Nicco bakit kalbo?
• bakit dapat magshampoo kapag naliligo?
• bakit panay ang hugas ng alcohol nung dentist?
• bakit naghuhugas ng kamay bago kumain?
• bakit gabi ka na dumadating kapag galing mo sa opis?
• bakit panty ang sinusuot mo mama, si daddy naman brief?
• bakit kapag ikaw mama, ayaw mo ko palabasin ng kwarto, si Daddy naman pinapalabas ako?
• bakit ba naglalaba ng damit? para malinis? bakit naman nagsasampay? para masuot ulit yung damit?

"Alam kong marami ka pang itatanong sa akin anak, at sisikapin kong sagutin sa abot ng aking makakaya at malilirip ng iyong pang-unawa. Sana ay maging tama ang mga sagot ko sa mga katanungan na itatanong mo sa akin. dahil alam kong ito ang magiging gabay mo sa pagharap sa reyalidad ng buhay. Hindi ko man maipaliwang ang ibang sagot sa iyong katanungan, Alam kong padating ng tamang panahon, ikaw mismo ang makakatuklas ng sagot sa iyong mga tanong ng hindi mo na ako kinukulit ng kakatanong sa mga simpleng bagay dahil malaki kana nuon at alam kong malawak na ang iyong pang-unawa. Sana lang anak, paglaki mo hindi mo makalimutan ang mga tamang sagot. Ng sa gayon maging tama din ang mga maging desisyon mo sa buhay. Darating ang panahon at magiging nanay at magulang ka na din gaya ko, nasisiguro kong ang mga tanong na ito ay magiging tanong na muli, hindi na para akin kundi para sa iyo na."

~~haay... ang emote ko noh?! hahaha. Sometimes, words just flow automatically as you type. Maybe because these words are always at the back of your mind , waiting for the perfect timing to come out in you.

The little boy is sick!

Yesterday morning while I was busy fixing Gabby's school things. Nicco, who's still in bed suddenly uttered "Mama, sakit bird!" I noticed that it is swollen and he cries whenever he pee. And he made popoo 4x in the afternoon according to Ian. he needs to take antibiotics as per doctor's advised since he has infection daw! haay, hope he goes well today. pumayat agad siya, he doesn't want to eat kasi... hope there will be positive changes today.
