Our Turn

-
After weeks of nothing but gorgeous weather, we had our share of not so good weather last week. We had rain for a couple of days and it concluded with freezing temperatures towards the end of the week. We actually woke up this morning to what looked like 'light' frosting on the grass. If the cold weather over the weekend didn't kill the grass, that frosting probably did it. I'm also thinking our plants that started to get new leaves during those spring like days we had a couple of weeks ago are probably on the verge of dying now. Oh well...it's still winter so it's expected. We will have a couple more days of 'cold temps' and after that, we're back to normal. By the end of this week, we are looking at mid to high 70s already. Woot!

Anyway, this past weekend we had plans of going back to a park we stumbled upon the a weekend ago. We thought we could go canoeing because the park has this river and they rent out canoes for park visitors. We really like the park so much that's why we planned in coming back so soon. But because of the freezing weather on both days [Saturday/Sunday], the plan went kaput. Instead, we stayed home on Saturday. Yesterday, Sunday, I decided to drag my sidekicks to the stores to buy some stuff for the box I'm sending back home. We also went to the Philippine store for my 'supplies'. Now, how ironic is that? First we went to get stuff from here that I can send to my family in the Philippines...then we went to the Philippine store so I can get stuff from the Philippines. Yep, we're never satisfied with what we have, are we? I guess it is how it is, eh? Since BIL's house is near the Philippine store, we decided to swing by their place to say hi. Needless to say, it's a very long "hi" because we were there for hours.

That's basically how our week & weekend went. Nothing exciting...even on Vday which was like any ordinary day with the exception of some cards exchanged and a couple boxes of chocolates.

Have a great week ahead!

Cold weather I guess is a lot better than freaky hot climate that we are starting to experience now. On the other hand, nae-excite naman ako kasi it means summer is coming at katapat nun e beach time. Weeehh!

Yes, it is how it is, Huling! :)) Sending out goodies to the Phils. but hoarding Pinoy goodies from Phil. store. Exactly like my SIL who's in CA. hehe..

I'm just imagining how lovely that park with a river. Sarap mag-canoe! Sama ako!! hahaha.. Okay, just post your pix on that park when you go there again, then masaya na ako. :)

Ay, nag-Valentines na ba? Aha haha!
I don't call that day Valentines. It was just another Thursday to me. :(
Belated Happy Thursday Huling! Blessings lagi sa yo at sa yong mag-ama! Ingat!

L-O-S-T. I guess that about sums up how I'm feeling right now...with blogging anyway. I don't even know how to start this post. 😕 It's been almost 2 years since I last posted. It's not that I have nothing to write about. I have plenty but I seem to have lost interest in blogging. I thought  at first that it was just a phase. I thought it would only last for a few days but days turned into weeks then months then years and I still haven't blogged. Nothing sparked my interest to blog so I just didn't. Not even paid posts lured me back. I even considered deleting it altogether. I felt like I'm wasting my money paying for the domain name. But I can't do it so I just keep on paying. I can't seem to let go of the domain 'Pinay Wahm' because I got it when not many Moms were able to make a living or earn in the comforts of home. I also have a lot of personal posts here that when I want to get details about something that happened in my life I can

Simple Life....

When we visited my family in 2012 we didn't actually spend as much time as I would have liked with most of them. That's because we planned a road trip which took most of our time. Since we were on the road majority of the stay, we weren't able to spend as much time in my childhood home. During our recent trip, that's exactly what we did. We spent a lot of time in my childhood home. We actually stayed home too much that we got bored after a while. But it was somehow an 'eye opener' for me as well as my significant other. On his part, he was finally able to experience 'real summer' back there. Both trips happened in April. But since we were in an air-conditioned car most of the time during our 2012 trip, we didn't really feel how hot it was. This time around, the air-con was only in our room. As soon as we stepped outside, it's hot. As a result, the AC in our room stayed on the whole day because it served as a reprieve from the heat. Every time

Finally finished the project I started a couple of months ago...at least. Now I'm a happy [and a bit sore] camper. I finished putting the mulch this morning mainly because I don't want to give the weeds another chance to invade the flower beds again...at least for a few months anyway. I think I had to pull out weeds twice before to prepare them for the mulch. I thought hubby would have the chance to put it down but his work just wouldn't let him so I decided to do it myself a few weeks ago. So why did it take me weeks to finish 2 and a half flower beds? I was just taking my time I guess. There was no hurry so I took my time. Now that I'm done with that 'project' I'm off to continue another one that I started about 2 weeks ago...decluttering my home office. The weather here is as unpredictable as...the weather? Last week it was raining almost everyday as predicted by the meteorologists around here. The time the rain would fall was the unpredictable part tho
