First Day of School

Posted Tuesday, June 15, 2010 by lucky_witch
It's first day of school today and Princess Ariel and Princess Cinderella are so excited. We woke up at around 6 in the morning, took a bath and ate breakfast then head on to school. But before we left, I took some of their pictures so I can share it here with you.

I am on a rush now, so I will do the posting of pictures later. I've got to fetch them at school to eat ang change clothes and send them back again for their afternoon class. Princess Cinderella will be taking her SRA test later in the afternoon, so I have to make sure that I am there.

For the past few days, we've been busy preparing their things for school. But I admit, it was fun.

So see you later guys!

I'm missing my kids...

Posted Wednesday, April 21, 2010 by lucky_witch
It's been a week since my kids went to vacation. 6 more weeks before I can finally have them back here. Although we regularly call, twice a day without a missed to be exact, I still miss them.

I know moms out there would definitely understand what I am going through. Just like right now, I am feeling the same old missing moments and thought of sharing it here.


Now I'm thinking, how about thousands of mom out there working abroad to give their family a good life. How much do they have to go through before finally telling themselves, "I'm fine now".

6 weeks is not that much. But it seems forever to me.

Holy Week

It's Holy Week. How did you spend your Holy Week?

This year, we didn't go anywhere. Unlike last year, together with the whole family, we went to Mount Manduyog, for Station of the Cross. And then we went to Mount Tigayon to watch the view of Aklan River. It was really tiring. And now, since I am pregnant and it's not advisable to climb mountain, we decided to stay at home.

Here are some pics we got during the last year Lenten Season:

Mount Tigayon


Yesterday was the 65th birthday of Nanay Liza. We cooked Pancit without pork, only shrimp, we also cooked relyenong bangus and gelatin. We planned to buy ice cream but we can't find one. Sold out according to Mercury Drugstore, while the other stores are closed. We watched the church procession at night.

Tomorrow is Easter Sunday, and of course I'm planning to cook some eggs to join the celebration of the Easter Sunday, Easter Egg. I'll be giving my kids one egg each later and will let them paint it and give it some life.

Princess Ariel received the 3rd Honor award, Model Girl Award and Star Scout of the Year. She's been holding the Model Girl Award since kindergarten.

When you trust too much

Posted Monday, March 8, 2010 by lucky_witch
This is indeed a sad day for us. If you've been reading my blog, you may recall me mentioning about "Peachy" the nanny and hairstylist of my princesses. I like her a lot, in fact even if she was supposed to work here for a month as temporary replacement to one of our helper, I decided to keep her. I trusted her with almost anything-- our store, our cellphones, etc.But that came to an end. 
Yesterday, Mymy, one of our helper noticed that a large amount of load was missing. No records were found and so is the money. I have asked Peachy and she said she didn't know anything about it. I logged on to smart and access my loading account to view the transaction history. And there I found out that Peachy was the one responsible for the missing loads. It was not actually lost, she used it and delete the transaction record, hoping that I wouldn't find out about it. I studied everything and found out that she'd been doing that for a couple of days. I immediately talked to her, she denied but later on confessed that she did it. I asked her to bring out her things, including her wallet. And that woman, she has lots of money, more than what I know she has! Of course, I knew it, it all came from the store. And from her room, we found plastics of chips, candies, breads that I know was from the store. We also found the container of the money that was missing weeks ago.Oh My!
I got mad, at that precise moment, I want to send her out. But I choose to be more rational, so I decided to keep her until this morning.  I called her auntie, the one who brought her here and told her everything that happen. I let Peachy go, even if she was pleading for a second chance.
It is really hard to trust someone and later realize that you're being fooled. I can give her a second chance but I know I can't trust her anymore. I feel bad about it, really bad.
Why is it that sometimes people just throw their honesty  that easily?
