right to suffrage

Yesterday, millions of Filipinos trooped to the polling places to exercise their right to suffrage. With us presently being in a another country, sadly we were not able to do so. A lot has been written about this particular election from the different candidates to it being the first automated polls of the country. But one thing is for sure, we need change. Our generation may not feel the change now but if there really is, our kids and their kids would be the recipients so I really hope it’s a positive one. And that the country doesn’t go from worse to really worse. Ooh, one good thing about this election is that we’ve heard and read lots of news that even though there were kinks in the automated polling process with some machines bogged down very early in the morning, you can see the people’s desire for the change, they waited in looong queues for hours just to be able to vote. Mabuhay!

Ok, back to regular programming now …

one more day

Just one more day and E will start term 2. It will be a bit of a challenge as we try to nail down a routine with me having to bring sab along whenever I drop or pick up E from school. The entire first term, I didn’t have to do that as my parents-in-law were visiting so it was just easy to leave sab at home with them. Now though, I wonder how I’ll fare with the whole thing, well it is just an adjustment and I’m sure (and I hope real quick) it will feel and be a normal thing to do as the days pass.

our silly boy

While waiting for baby girl to come out, I decided to make a layout for these set of pictures. Took some time to come up with one though, between being busy with preparations for baby girl and being really tired and lazy most of the time (haha!) during this pregnancy.

These pics were taken one August afternoon. E was in a good mood that Ichi got him to pose for the pics real easy.

so what did E get?

I mentioned in a previous post about my mum’s birthday that even though it was her birthday it was E that received a present. Actually he got two, one was a space police lego that he has been wanting for a long time (leave it to mamita to buy it for him haha .. lucky for him that it was one of the cheap ones and that it was on sale) and this … a BEN 10 bike. Early Christmas and birthday gift for E. We asked him if he wanted the cars one (which was cheaper) but he really insisted on getting the Ben 10 bike. It’s timely too that it’s nearing summer when we can bring him to the park so he can get lots of practice riding the bike.

mum’s birthday

Mum flew in a week before her birthday, I specifically scheduled it that way because her birthday would already mark my 37th week which means that I could give birth anytime. Anyways, on her birthday we celebrated it with a yum cha lunch at hilltop phoenix at castle towers.  We initially intended to have the yum cha at eastwood but then we learned that they had a granny smith festival parade that day and preggy me didn’t want to walk a lot that day. After lunch we walked a bit around the mall and even though it was my mum’s birthday it was E who got presents haha. Talk about spoiling the grandson :p I’ll post what E got (a super early Christmas and birthday present) in another post.

We’re just glad that all our families back home are safe, though there may be material losses but still they are all safe. I wish and pray that all those who are still stranded are rescued and there are campaigns for donations and relief goods that have been setup. You can check out Bianca Gonzales’ blog for a list.
