Outside my window... Humid weather, summer in the Philippines is really something! One would wish to go to the beach as often as possible or even take a long vacation in Baguio City- the summer capital of the Philippines -which I say is my most favorite city in the world! I wish we could go there sometime...

I am thinking... of the paperwork that we need to work on. Can't divulge the situation just yet, but it's going to be huge. Am excited of what will come!


I am thankful for... the summer holiday of my children which means summer holiday of the wallet. I hope I can also save for the next school year.


I am wearing... black strappy top because of the warm weather, and striped brown shorts. I'm barefooted, need to add :)


In the learning rooms... I'll be teaching my youngest "Cupcake" some basic math with math games suited for his age. He learned counting up to a hundred, a few months ago but when he counted from the chart to "teach" his second cousin .. he forgot some. I'm positive he can learn again in time for school next year.


I am going... just to my malunggay farm this late afternoon to check on the trees. Will see if I'll be going someplace else much later.


I am reading... Rich Dad, Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki... it's just an 80 page book but with great ideas there! Glad that I got the time to read despite having the book for almost a year now. It's about getting off the"rat race" of having a 9-5 job.


On my mind... I am calm and okay today, not being affected by anything. Thanks for the prayer and meditation too. Could have been from the wonderful dream I had.. of being in Manila and seeing friends.

From the kitchen... Stir-fried vegetables - Chopsuey- cooked by my eldest, because "I'm busy" today.


Around the house... clutter, as usual... crayons, pencils, paper... we got no energy to clean up much because of the weather (again) but I'll work on that later as I will work on the inventory of my ebay stuff.

One of my favorite things... is to catch up on much needed rest, for now.

From my camera... I got two photos from my son Popcorn's graduation last April 5th ...
one, with him and Cupcake. That's my son, always serious even for the camera!

And here below, hubby and me. That look? We hope the camera would work right :)

Wednesday, October 7th

Outside my window... it is rainy and the storm seems to have come back. I remember waking up at dawn startled by the curtains blown by the wind in our living room (where we sleep)

I am thinking...right now? My Cafe World account at Facebook... my Bacon
Cheeseburger just went "ding!" :D Kidding aside, I'm thinking of this blog that I've neglected for quite a time and what I can do especially when I'm too-too busy.

I am thankful for... finally completing the list of ebooks I'm selling for download. You'll find it on my other blog, so please feel free to visit.

From the kitchen... again, I'm not the cook :) but we'll be having Ginataang Breadfruit or what-you-may-call-it (Ginataang Kamansi, in our local dialect)

I am wearing... a black hand-me-down hooded sweatshirt (because it's cold today) and housewear shorts.

I am going... to write emails sent thru facebook today, just to say hi

I am reading... Psalm 46

I am hoping... for fair weather for the Philippines. We really want that, don't we all?

I am hearing... my toddler watching Mr. Bean show in the background

Around the house... clean up to do. I'm still thinking of having our garage turned kitchen painted with white. Kind of like French Provincial. Oh, after the winds of course.

One of my favorite things... a warm mug of coffee.

A few plans for the rest of the week ... ebaying and online selling as usual.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing... picture of raindrops taken on our doorstep (I'm on this side of the film, that is, what you see is the entrance to the house for rent)

Wednesday, September 9th

Outside my window... the sun is out, after days of rain!

I am thinking...of good things, positive thoughts... yes, I'm happy!

I am thankful for... this day... it's September 9th, it's my eldest son's 19th birthday... plenty of good news... even our country seems to be in a festive mood after Sen. Noynoy Aquino's announcement today.

From the kitchen... we'll be having a simple lunch of beef and red beans. My hubby's the official cook here :)

I am wearing... a hand-me-down shirt that I love and blue denims. Funny, the shirt says : "The worst day of anything is better than the best day of school" in faded prints. Ha-ha! Why such thoughts about school, this must be my niece's shirt. I also have a beaded bag I just bought.

I am creating... a slideshow of photos from our cornfield and "new" vegetable garden

I am going... to just be like this all day. Will get to work in a while on my ebook selling errands.

I am reading... Proverbs Chapter 24 of the Bible. A verse I found there today is the best advice I could possibly find!

I am hoping... for fair weather, keeps everyone in a good mood.

I am hearing... the Secret movie on tv.

Around the house... my children are home and will be going to school this afternoon. hmm, everything is in order. Surprised!

One of my favorite things... is a day like this, I have a very very good feeling. It's like when I was in the 80's of the amazing days.

A few plans for the rest of the week ...my week will be busy online while I'll be checking on the cornfield out back.

Here is a picture thought I am sharing...
