I’ve been pretty occupied yet lazy lately. I don’t know why but nothing seems to make me worry about the blog world anymore. I used to get so anxious to start my day with making an update a post or two daily, but I guess I was just a bit carefree about it in the past days due to some personal matters that I prioritize. Anyway, just to get back on track I want to put into writing that my son’s eating habit has improved. He is still the picky one just like his mom, but he does well when it comes to appetite especially when he likes the food I give him. It’s definitely just about trying new kinds of food. He may not like the smashed potato but he does love French fries or the smiley potatoes which of course I don’t give very often as they aren’t good for you.
It’s just that I wanted him to still get the essential nutrients that he would have missed from not eating potatoes at all. It’s an alternative in moderation. Well, at least I think that’s what it is. LOL! Our boy is not skinny or fat. He is thriving – God bless him! He may not eat a piece of cheese that you give him but he does love cream cheese on his waffle or bagel. And prefers to eat it like it’s the sweetest filling ever — that’s what toddlers are when it comes to food. One day they like green peas and the next just hates it and starts throwing them on the floor. Interesting, isn’t it? My 21-month old son is just as normal as most toddlers are.
A friend of mine whom I talked to a while ago asked me to search “my monster mom” on YouTube and so I did. I found out that it’s a trailer of a movie in which Ruffa Guttierez and Annabelle Rama are playing. I am not really into Philippine movies anymore since I came in this country. Not that I forget where I came from but it’s just a matter of preference when I came here. I don’t even subscribe to TFC at all.
I just thought of a bit of a change for my routine because I had spent most of my days watching my favorite shows and Philippines favorite television channels back then in my hometown. So, don’t get me wrong. LOL! Well, here’s a video from YouTube which I find funny. It’s supposed to be a comedy and some commenter said they could relate to the character of Annabelle Rama being their own mom. See for yourself.
I thought for sure I was going to have my last driving lesson earlier today. Last Saturday at 7:30 a.m. I had taken my 3rd driving lesson after moving in this state and I was glad to have refreshed everything I learned in the past months. In fact, over a year since I learned the basics behind the wheels when I came in the US. I think it was my fault to have forgotten completely few days ago. I was supposed to make a call the driving school to confirm my lesson schedule at 7:30 a.m. today.
So, I was only reminded by the hubby last night and I didn’t really think about the confirmation at all so today I got up early still half asleep and got ready only to be waiting for nothing - shame on me. LOL! I thought the instructor was just going to be late or have forgotten about me once and for all. Hehehe. Anyway, next Saturday would be a good time more likely and it’s getting even closer to my road test which is on the 23rd of this month.
I just have to work on my parallel parking which I find a lot easier than that other parking the instructor taught me which is called the perpendicular park. Oh well. I am getting anxious and nervous at the same time with this getting a license to drive project. LOL! Anyway, I found a video that best illustrates it but the technique that my instructor is teaching me is entirely different.
While most people are not anxious about the coming of winter, I am completely the opposite as I am looking forward to it. It doesn’t mean I am excited about snowstorm at all because it’s rather unpleasant and definitely bad for most of us living in the Northern part of the US. I am anxious because it means we will likely be away from it.
We are on vacation during winter in like months and will be in Florida for the most part. Still, it’s not a completely warm place whole winter but it’s close to not having to wear winter boots and thick coats at all. Well, besides the excitement on being on the road for a span of 2 days and 2 nights, it should be a pretty cool drive when there’s a lot to see along the way and not to mention a lot of photo opportunities. Speaking of which, I better check out memory stick for now. Ciao!
Once I like and wanted something online I can’t stop looking at it and even read all about it (reviews and such) all day even days or sleepless nights until I finally get it. After that urge of owning, I am off and satisfied. What a sickness indeed. LOL! I am not an impulsive consumer at all and yet when I am interested about a certain stuff e.g., purse, DSLR camera, and etc, I can’t function like I am supposed to unless I have the reason to stop wanting it and getting it.
Yeah, such a shame and an honest revelation it is, but that’s just the way I am. But, the truth is I am not alone. I know there are a lot of people who are like me and it’s what we call life — for us anyway. Do you know what I am talking about? If you do, tell me about it. Hehehe
Two days ago, I had a migraine attack. It’s really something when that happens. The pain is just unbearable every time and I don’t think it’s something you want to get a lot. Once a year of migraine would be a blessing and I guess I can say I am blessed enough. LOL! The first real attack was about a year ago and I tell you it was really painful. It was the worst migraine I’ve had in my lifetime.
The best thing to do is once the aura is noticeable it would be best to take a medicine right away since it’s a sign that the pain is just progressing. It’s good to prevent it from going to the next level so the suffering is cut a little bit shorter if not directly. Missing sleep for the past nights was the cause that I can think of why I had the attack few days ago. So, I really need to make up and get some rest so I can return to my normal self. Oh well.
Our son Casey’s skin problem is back again. When he was smaller he already had a sensitive skin that turned out to be eczema. It’s rather itchy and bothers him a lot. He used to scratch really hard it could bleed. He used to have it on his face, too. The doctor said eczema cannot be treated permanently as it comes and goes as the season changes. But, the cream that he prescribes lessens the symptoms and gets rid of the annoying itch.
That’s why the hubby had to get another one at the pharmacy as we left the first we got months ago at my hometown miles away from here. I tell you, this medicine is not cheap. This Atopiclair non-steroidal cream costs a lot but it’s all worth it. I hope tonight we can sleep better as we’ve been interrupted a couple of nights ago because of our son’s cry when the itch strikes. I bet it’s really bothersome when your arms and legs get itchy all at the same time. I am thankful that there is a medication that can at least make him feel better. It works wonders! ………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………..

Actually, the title has nothing to do with this post at all. I am glad the weather has cooled down for a change. It’s officially autumn season which means winter is also fast approaching which can be daunting for many. I know it’s not the most pleasant of seasons. But that’s how it is in this place anyway. I remember last year when the leaves started turning I was so surprised because I stayed home everyday and just in few days when we drove out I just noticed the leaves falling down and the last time I look through the window they were still green. LOL! Days go by so fast, isn’t it?
I should have gone out a lot while it was fine and sunny, but I was very limited to what I could do to have fun as I still don’t have the driver’s license. Pretty soon I will though. And it’s going to change everything. I mean, I can drive independently and do some shopping and things like that you know. I will be really happy. But, I guess it will be a bad timing as it will get even colder. Nobody wants to go out in the cold a lot. Oh well. I can wait until next spring and summer and oh, we will be in Florida early next year. How cool that would be! I can’t wait.
Whenever I am mad at something or someone, my frustration comes out as tears. I guess it’s common. It’s a better way to express yourself rather than doing things that might just led to another like getting physical or something. I don’t think I could punch a wall though. I’ll only hurt myself. LOL! Well, just this morning I was able to express myself in words by telling the people closest to my heart what my point really is and explained how I felt after a conversation with someone in the family.
I try to be nice at all times but for some reason things can boil my temper in just an instant which I feel guilty about after a while. But, then I try to rediscover my side and realize that I have the reason to feel that way. Or at least, I thought I should. Oh well. Times like this will always be part of what life is made of. There are ups and downs all the time. Or else, it isn’t what you live here for!
Nothing much going on at our end this week besides talking to my family back home everyday regarding a property that we are thinking of buying. It’s something that will help them a heck of a deal as they are tired of the usual means of living they have which is obviously not going to improve as they get older. I can’t be more thankful to my hubby for being so understanding and being so kind to extend his generosity to my family. Well, it should be a great help for them once they will find a farming area that they would like to work on and make a living.
Land is a good investment because its value is for sure going up higher year by year. For now, some of the properties that they have already taken a look into are not that ideal for one reason or another so we encourage them to keep looking. Of course, location matters. The more convenient and closer the area is to civilization the more money it is going to be — price-wise anyway. Sometimes it gives me a headache just thinking about it even though I am not the one who is doing the searching because as I understood it is rather uneasy to find the right size, the right price and the ideal location of the land where starting a new beginning in order to make money these days.
It’s time-consuming you know and not to mention the paperwork it needs and things to get prepared before the land can serve its purpose. We need to make sure the land is legally titled and checking on the previous owners needs a thorough assessment or whatever is the right term for that. LOL! Hey, nothing comes so easy when it’s all about making a serious decision. We’re not talking about buying a pair of shoes online and returning and exchanging them because it’s way too big or too small.
It definitely needs a smart thinking and requires the right move in order to achieve the goal. Oh well. That’s just the tip of an iceberg for us as of the moment. My mom just told me about a land that they really like and have the proper documents or title shown to them by the owner when they checked the place out today. I’ll just have to tell hubby about it to decide and see whether it is in our price range. Good luck to us!
