A Thursday meme by Carin

Shoot Me! It’s time to stop hiding behind that camera of yours. Your family is missing you in the picture. So it’s time to post a picture of YOU (yes, you) every Thursday with your child, your spouse, your friend, your dog, or even by yourself. Just get in the picture, you’ll be glad you did! And just jump in now with 1 of 52, you can do it

There was not a single photo made (oh there are a few) shots of my nephew doing fashion poses for me. lol! But they are not worth sharing ya know or my brother will kill me.
It was a quiet Easter weekend. I was at home since Friday (supposedly Thursday evening too but one student slept in the dorm so i was with her) and the whole weekend. It’s like i missed the tube so much that i spent every waking house sitting infront of the TV. I did love watching the old TV shows and in relation to the Easter mood, all shows portrayed the spirit of love and forgiveness.
For 3 nights, Dangerous Life has been shown. I missed the one on Thursday evening and Friday evening did not watch the whole of it but watched the last part last night. It showed what really happened during the end of Marcos regime in 1986. It feels good to have a glimpse and knowledge on what really took place that week and that particular day. I was still too young to update myself with the news through newspaper during that time. And 1986? Hmm we still don’t own a TV.
I know that am a Marcos fan all my life (i was born at the height of his reign and i was still to young to understand corruption and martial law during the election in 1986). I know in my heart that Marcos was a great leader but he should have learned that he can’t be a President forever. The movie depicted that he cried leaving the country that night (9:05 pm) and i really dunno if he really cried in real. Maybe he cried most especially the first lady.
Other shows made me cry and other shows made me laugh out loud with all the kids at home. My bro and sis inlaw were in camiguin and their kids were left at home. So the house was full packed with the kids and it was sort of noisy. My nook was the living room because my daughter wanted to have the privacy of my bedroom all to herself. She’s thinking it’s her room now since am staying in the dorm. lol
Anyway, back to normal work life tomorrow (Monday, April 5) but am planning to make a leave. There will be a meeting up in my mom’s hometown and it concerns the family (maternal side) so am going as no one will go.
Tuesday, i will be back online to update this.
I hope everyone is having a great weekend! My fellow workers who went on a tour sure did have a great time traveling and seeing places. I can’t wait to hear their stories when i get back to work on Tuesday.

Last week, my 4 month old nephew was admitted due to very high temperature. Tests showed he got UTI. I spent my time almost whole day Friday and evening of Saturday (whole night) while Dimple in school cooked some vege recipe during the culmination of the Nutrition Week. 
He can be an energetic and noisy babe when his temperature is normal. When am the one with him i always keep his arms with the IV away from him. I can giggle watching him putting anything (everything) he can hold inside his mouth.
An hour later after this shot, his temperature rose up to 42 and he was really restless and got a sound that really tells us he is not feeling well.
In school, my daughter’s class were divided into some group and they were told to cook the food (viand) they like to eat for lunch. My daughter’s group is composed mostly of girls and many wanted to eat vegetables so they brought fresh vegetables with them.
While the others make fire -
Some others did the task of dehusking or deboning the malunggay -
Dimple being the leader of the group was only tasked to bring kitchen utensils and the firewood. She proudly told me that she cooked (sautee) eggplant and string beans:
- garlic in the heated oil then followed by the vegetables.
when i saw this photo in the camera and saw water i asked her if she put in the water after putting in the vegetables. she said yes and i told her to correct it next time. i told her to put in water after the vegetables are partly cooked.
I asked her if it tasted nice and she proudly said nice because they used Magic Sarap! hahaha. She said that she wanted to bring some for me for a taste but her classmates loved it so none was left.
Well, it does not matter. I was able to taste their noodle soup with malunggay and eggs. It tasted very nice only to discover they have used up all the seasoning powder plus magic sarap. Ohh my gawd, i told her, yeah the simple viand tastes so heavenly but it will cause us to die early. hahaha
Here’s the group leader with her teacher:
Happy Sunday to all and i hope you enjoyed these simple photos of our weekend last week.

This is going to be my first entry to this new meme on the block – Our Weekend Memoirs. PHotos shared here is one of my favotires during a weekend in Initao Beach Resort – the colloquium program.
The FOR YOUR EYES ONLY view:
Unfortunately, we were not able to enjoy the beach as we have to live right that afternoon. We could have enjoyed there as much as these people are enjoying the nice weather and nice water:

My pc at home is crushed…am at the internet bar now. I have encoded more than 800 words 2 times already and yet it was not saved. Oh well i got tired. I just want to tell you all that i can’t blog from home now (it depends though if it will be done reformatting in an hour or two) but i doubt…
Am at the internet bar now and i think i got more than thirty minutes to be here. I hate myself now for losing quite a long entry.
Am back at work today – that’s good news! Am so happy to be back. I feel the 2 weeks was like 2 years of now work. Grrr i don’t like it. Wish i had those 2 weeks spent somewhere, climbing a hill or a mountain, trekking the river on foot..and many adventures to do. I guess daily napping for 5 hrs at home is no fun at all. hahahaa Unless maybe if i worked with no sleep for a week then hrs nap daily for a week will sound exciting.
There was IC at work today but was out at 11 and came back at 4pm just ontime when my boss asked me to go with him to visit a friend who underwent D & C yesterday. We were sad of the loss but maybe that was the best. She lost it due to chicken pox vaccination. Poor baby. It was 12 weeks.
Now am off to join Monday Music meme. Oh i will miss weekly round-up this week again and the week-end snapshot. But if IC will be ok tomorrow i hope to catch up.

That’s the new year. I forgot the exact time i woke up but for sure we slept very late. Dimple and i slept at the early hours of January 1, 2008. Because even after watching some fireworks, we went back online to surf for more chinese songs.
I started my morning with a coffee and walk over to my aunt’s home. There i chatted with them, ate their food (left overs of the night). I was full. hahahaa. The went home to watch a movie of Claudine and Piolo Pascual afterand when Dimple woke up almost noontime, we watched the Got 2 Believe in Magic.
I declaired the day as PC Holiday – The pc should not be turned on the whole day. As a treat for the computer because these days it’s not only me who is using this but also Dimple spent much time here if am not online. So i think if the pc can talk – she would tell me her thanks. hehehe. That is the reason i got no post for the January 1, 2009. I could have come online last night after dinner but i have to stick to my declaration of “no pc use” So i spent time watchng TV.
To those who greeted me for the new year through text messages – thanks. I was not able to text back the 31st evening because until yesterday morning, my phone has ran out of funds. But your greetings made me smile. Thanks and may all of you too have a start of the year.
It’s still new year now — so happy new year! Am now going to work full time updating all blogs so, it’s gonna be a long hours here on pc and am sure Dimple will be aihehehehe oh well – mommy will always be the winner. hahaha
So how did you spent your first day of January? WAs it exciting, very exciting, or just simply relaxing?
