written last March 7 at home

During the weekend, I looked back at the past week and in general, it was all good. I went on vacation leave last Feb. 27 and 28 which was spent with my family.

Last Feb. 27, I had to look after my mom because Ate Doris went out being her birthday tomorrow. Sa ngayon kasi, hindi na pwedeng iwanan ang mommy ng mag-isa dahil nahihirapan siyang tumayo on her own. The only time she stands up is when she has to pee. She needs to transfer from her bed to the comode. And someone needs to help her while she sits kasi ang tendency ay ibabagsak niya yung weight niya sa kung saan man siya uupo which is not good kasi baka may mabaling buto daw sa hips. So far, kaya pa pag gano'n kasi she can still pull herself up by grabbing some furniture na steady it's just that nahihirapan na lang siyang tumayo na hindi inaalalayan. The one time I felt very helpless was nung nagrereklamo siya about her pinched nerves. Sumasakit yung armn niya kahit naka-inom na ng gamot at nag-lagay na ng Salonpas. Nagkukuwento pa si mommy, na sabi ng best friend niya sa kanya, ibigay na daw lahat ng sakit wag lang daw yung pinched nerves. How sensitive di ba...eh yun nga yung sakit ni mommy eh!

March 1 was Angela's field trip na. It was supposed to be on Feb. 28 pero napostpone dahil sa nangyari nung Linggo about the marines and all. The first location we went to was the ice cream factory of Nestle. Kala ko naman kung saan, yun pala yung dating Magnolia. Feeling ko wala na talaga akong pinalampas na lugar, during the presentation about Nestle's history, ayun, nakatulog na naman ang lola mo. Kaloka! Before umalis ng ice cream plant, everybody was given one of their products...yung jelly tongue chuva. Hindi ako kumuha...para kasing weird...iba yung nai-imagine ko...para talaga siyang dila. Pag kinagat kasi, di agad bumabaon yung ngipin...kelangan talaga ipilit pa. Anyway, after the ice cream plan, we went to Philippine Science Centrum sa Marikina. Maganda sana and ang daming matututunan ng kids but then we didn't have enough time. May magandang feature dun where the kids stood against a wall tapos parang pipicturan sila. Pag tapos na yon and they walk away from the wall, maiiwan yung shadow nung kid na nag-pose don.Galing! After Science Centrum, pumunta naman kami sa Pope Pius sa UN (again!) to watch yung puppet show (again!). Naalala nyo ba yung entry ko before about Biboy Baboy? Iba naman ngayon...si Kapitan Donat-Yahoo na nagtuturo na wag maging pasaway. Ang nakakaloka lang , isa na naman itong baboy! Not that I have anything agains pigs...in fact, masarap talaga sila mas lalo na pag bina-barbeque...hehe. Pero naisip ko lang, bakit baboy parati ang nagtuturo sa mga kids na ito...marami naman ibang hayop diya. Tanong lang, matatalino ba talaga ang mga baboy?

I went back to work nung Friday, March 2 and it was a good day for me kasi I had more than 1 sale. At 'eto pa, may commendatio call pa ako kasi natuwa yung isang caller na kahit papano ay natulungan ko daw. Sabi ko nga kay Kat, partida pa yan kasi sa sobrang antok ko, naka-idlip ako in the middle of the call...dami kasi tanong nung babae, eh.

If only for that, sulit yung week na yun 'no...
