Dad's Father's Day Present

-
This is one of the drawings that the little one handed the man of her life on Father's Day. She made several drawings but this is my favorite by far. I was actually the one that encouraged [pushed???] her to give caricature a try. I googled pictures to show her and looked for 'how to videos' on caricaturing. She liked the idea but she's not really 'sold' to it. As the days went by she just did what she does best....draw characters that she likes a lot...chipmunks mostly. I was fine with it and didn't push her anymore in doing a caricature for Dad. She pretty much finished her gifts for Dad before the Father's Day weekend.

Then on Saturday [the day before FD] when she was supposed to be cleaning in her bedroom she came out with this caricature drawing of Dad. I just started laughing and told her it's perfect [I'm the MOM so I'm allowed to praise her to high heavens] and to me it is perfect. I grabbed one of the empty frames and put it there. I guess my last minute pitch worked. For the record, she drew the caricature in minutes. She was in the middle of cleaning her bookshelf when I went in her bedroom to remind her to prepare her gifts for Dad. That's when I mentioned the caricature again...hoping she'd decide to make one...and she did. I'm literally amazed how fast she did it and how good it came out.

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

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
