Quickie Update

Today is October 8, Happy Birthday HIPAG!!!

'Hipag' in Tagalog means sister-in-law. It is my in-law's birthday today and I wish her all the happiness in the word. She's wonderful, she really is and I want her happy, healthy and safe.

That done, within the next two days it will be MeyMey's birthday Oct. 10. Happy 15th Birthday my lovely daughter. News of that willbe posted at a later date, next free time mayhaps.

September, it went by so fast that was a blast. Sept 13 was MaRey's 16th birthday. She wanted a really gorgeous and humongous cake (the fondant kind) and we gave her what she wanted but it also meant having a cake party with her classmates from school which took a while to organize given our much smaller house. Her birthday was a mixture of a sad event and a happy event. A birthday and a funeral.

My hubby's 94y/o maternal grandmother, she passed away last Sept 9 from pneumonia complications. May the Lord have mercy on her soul and grant her eternal peace. Lots of growing up to do during times like these. It gives you time to take stock of life, count your blessings, learn to forgive and forget and love unconditionally.

So anyway Sept 13, like I said that morning we woke up early so MaRey can open her presents and enjoy breakfast and bask in our love ( :-) ) and then go bury their great grandmother. It took most of the morning including horrible traffic but in the afternoon we let her go to school so she can be greeted by her classmates. Her party was on a saturday and not during her birthday. I think she had a great day nevertheless especially since she got a gift from this really cute boy she had a crush on since way back first year HS. A nice to be a teenager huh.

Ok moving on, the party-- it was fun, tiring but fun. It had been awhile since my siblings and their families partied. So it was a great get-together. I really should do that more often even if we are packed like sardines here at home. I stopped holding get-togethers when we moved last year mainly because of cramped space but you know sometimes one way to turn a house into a home is to make fun memories inside it with all those aunts & uncles and cousins you love.

So yesterday we had a watch Manny Pacquiao live on pay-per-view TV here at home and it was a great impromptu get-together 12 rounds boxing and Manny won!!

So there, the week after that was chill week while the daughters studied for their 2nd quarter exams. This week is ReyMey's 1st semestral assessment exam and it starts at 10:55 so that is my cue to stop and be off.
