I just want to share this news that I just got a few days ago. I can’t really assess if this is a good or somewhat bad news for me.

My SIL in Canada called me last 2 days ago and told me to download an application form for a temporary resident visa. I got tensed and quite excited when she said that. Actually, these application forms are for my mother and father in law.

Why? Because my SIL’s baby Ericka will be baptized on June 28 and my SIL wants her dad and her mom to be there in Toronto to witness the day. Yeah, they will enter Canada as tourist and as we all know tourist visa can only stay 6 months in the country before they become invalid. But before their visa get expired, my SIL will ask the assistance of their tita to process my in laws sponsorship visa ata or to give them a working visa so that they could stay there for good. I’m not really familiar about this visa thing. But in short, their plan was to work and stay in Canada for good. The good news there is if ever my in-laws get a stable job in Canada, they can apply us for sponsorship too and we can follow them in Canada. Isn’t that good news?

Now, here’s the dilemma part. If my in-laws will stay there for 6 months or even less, the only persons left in the house will be only me, my hubby and Aj. So, this only means that Aj will be left with no one if we get to work.

Well, financial wise, hiring a nanny is ok with me (with the help of blogging ) but my main concern is if I hire a nanny I want her to be a relative of mine or hubbys. Especially because sila lang ni Aj ang matitira sa bahay! Db nakakatakot to leave your baby alone with someone that you really don’t know? Unlike before when we had our vacation at my mom’s house, my nanny akong hinire but they are not the only ones in the house. I had my mom, my SIL and the nanny. See my point?

Then my hubby said that if ever her parents will push thru to Canada next month, we’ll transfer muna sa mom’s house ko para nga may magalaga kay AJ plus a nanny. But as you all know my mom is sick and will be forced to work or take care of AJ kahit na may nanny si Aj. Ganun kasi mom ko eh. Hindi nya matiis ang kanyang apo. So mahihirapan din mom ko if ever.

I’m not being selfish here or whatsoever. I know that Aj is our child and we (hubby & me) are the ones responsible in taking care of Aj. I would love to stay at home and take care of Aj, I think most of my buddies know that. But some of our plans have been revised and I have to stick to it to fulfill it. Well, here’s the thing, were planning to build our new home this year or early next year, that’s why todo kayod kami to save money for it. And that only means that I can’t resign yet from my job.

So there! What do you think?

Should I resign nalang to take care of Aj? Or just hire a nanny and stay at my mom’s house? Hayy!

What will you do if you wake up one morning and saw your car like this?

I think most of you have seen my hubby. Well, on most of my post that is. (Ginagawa ko rin cyang model pag-minsan on some of my blog posts! Lol! )

Anyways, my hubby is the very opposite of me – loud, extrovert, wacky, athletic, adventurous and thrifty (at times). If you would like to see a man that correlates with HUMOR, just look for my hubby and you’ll definitely laugh your hearts’ out when you had a chat with him. Maybe that’s reason why I fell in love with him in the first place. He has most of the traits that I wish I had.

I never had a dull moment with him. He was always into something that sometimes shocks me and sometimes gives me a “kilig” feeling. Yeah, in between his hard core humor he has a sweet sensitive side that he rarely show to his friends and to his relatives and only I and Aj had a chance to feel it.

That’s why I would like to take this opportunity to acknowledge him for being a very sweet hubby and for being a great father to AJ. Others might say otherwise, but only I, the receiver of his thoughts, actions and feelings can affirm what I just said. So, to you my labs…

Advanced HAPPY FATHER’S DAY!

Can you see my funky mood on my side bar? It says I’m HEADACHY!

Yeah, I’m having a severe headache today! I’m not sure if it’s a hormonal thingy (red flag is up) or because of the bad news I’ve been getting for the past few days.

Hay, I just want to share “the bad news” to all of you guys. Sobrang sakit na tlga ng ulo ko..

First:

My hubby’s friend Allan, who had a mild stroke a few months ago was hospitalized again because of chest pain and swollen feet. He was rushed to the ICU at Mt. Carmel Hospital last Friday. The diagnosis of the doctor was not good. Because of his heart problem, his kidney has been damage and has leaked, toxins have traveled thru Allan’s blood and now he has no choice but to undergo Dialysis. Huh! After that, his heart will be check for some damage or “bara” sa mga viens and if meron cyang bara he will have to undergo a heart surgery. Oh my, he is just 31 yrs old!

Second:

My friend’s wife Sheryl has been hospitalized because of severe pneumonia. Actually, I just talked to my friend Joel a while ago and he said that his wife condition is not good. It all started when his wife gave birth to their second baby last May 9, after that delivery nagkasakit na cya. First, it was appendicitis, so the doctor surgically removed that organ. But after a few days, he suffered from severe pneumonia. As in severe day because the doctor said that he might die if her body will not improve and react positively to the medicines. Ano ba yan!

Third:

Then, my dad texted me last night and said that my mom is not yet well, last week kasi tumaas bigla ang blood sugar niya naging 250 from 140. Though, bumaba na cya today and 110 nalang. (Thank God!). But still her feet are quite swollen and painful. And because of that she can’t sleep at night.

Hay, ano ba naman ang mga sakit na yan! Hindi na tumigil sa kakakalat! GRRR! >:(

Do you want to know what my dream top is?

Here it is:

What do you think? Will this one look good on me?
