Took a quick break from taking care of you guys today so I can run a number of errands that has been pending for some time now. I spent 2 hours away from home and these were what I accomplished:
- went to the NEW San Pedro Municipal Hall to get a Certified True Copy of Iya's birth certificate. I need this for when I get back to work in June.
- requested for a grocery purchase booklet for Kuya's Person With Disability (PWD) ID. The Municipal Social Welfare Department/Development (MSWD) said it's still not available, though. So, we still would not be able to avail of your PWD discount, Kuya.
- bought pancit with catsup. This is a dish unique to San Pedro. It's plain pancit (not much sahog in there) but with egg and catsup. Sounds weird? I haven't tried it myself but I bought 2 orders for Lolo Teng and Daddy to try. :)
- bought pambahay na basketball shorts for Kuya. So cute! :)
- had our will-you-be cards printed for Mum and Dad's church wedding primary sponsors. Also had a map to the venue printed, as well as our motif. I told Dad to buy envelopes so I hope he won't forget.
- went to RiteMed to inquire about the cost of their circumcision packages for Titoy. It's Php2,300 and will be done by a surgeon.
- went to San Pedro Doctors Hospital to get our refund for the excess professional fee charged by my OB when I gave birth to Iya. Good thing, I was able to claim without much hassle.
- went to Pacita Arcade and bought a sundress, shoes and mittens for Iya.
Whew! That was a lot! :) let's have our siesta na ha? (Lalo ka na, Kuya, wag na magtantrums!)
I love you both!
This blog contains my thoughts and my ramblings, stories of our family, and random stuff I find along the way -- things I want my children to remember long after I am gone. May you learn more about Mommy as you read each post, and know that I love you all very much.

Search for the perfect marriage
What makes marriages work? Is it being together all the time? Having the same likes and dislikes? Talking to one another everyday?
I read somewhere that before you get married, you must get to know your partner extensively -- her eccentricities, her family, her life goals, her beliefs and values. But, once you've married her, you must learn to accept your new wife for who she is. You don't marry someone and expect that they will change or that you can change them to your image of a perfect wife.
They say the perfect marriage is between a deaf husband and a blind wife. What do you think, Sweetheart? I believe couples can find reasons to argue all the time. Take Mommy and Daddy for example. We grew up very differently. We have opposing views on things. There are things that Mommy likes but Daddy hates. Our personalities are poles apart. But the trick is to find reasons to stay together -- for me, it's the way Daddy shows his sweet side or the way Daddy takes care of us.
Marriage is a contract between two people and God. Do not forget that.
