Little that I know, my brother is already doing some cameo roles for commercials. I know he could make it big one day.

He's sharp, smart, patient and very hardworking. He's friendly and kalog.

Noong mga bata pa kami..ehem, I'm 10 years older nga pala--so noong bata pa sya, he's the boy who got it all...hindi ang swerte kundi lahat ng hirap. He saw our family collapsed but was able to adjust at such a young age. We did not hear anything from him even if he has to stop schooling because we can't support him.

Now, he's turning 20 soon and working harder to make sure he could help me and Kuya Nel even for a smallest contribution.

Bro, I know Ate wasn't there when everything happened. When all of a sudden, its like the roof of heaven collapsed on us...I wasn't there. But, hence I am still and will always will be, the Ate who've taken care of you...kahit lagi kang nagtatae. hahahha!

Before I become a real mother, I learned everything by taking care of you, from your milk to changing your diaper.

At kahit halos hindi ka nakita sa commercial na ito...still, you've made it. So congrats kahit late na.
Remember na I always love you...kahit malayo ako sayo.

Love, Ate.

August is almost over and here I am, trying to drag my self to do something productive. As I am still waiting for my 'enrollment'..., my time is being filled up with Paolyne moments.
Hindi ko na talaga maitago ang amusement ko sa anak kong ito. I am not saying thing coz' I'm her mother...ako nga sa sarili ko naninibago sa kanya since matagal tagal din syang nalayo sa akin.
As you all know, she just joined a class (play school) as soon as Nanay went back to Philippines. So far so good. She's excited to go to school. She's happy as a bee.
The first week was a drag. Lagi naman atang ganon. Since she's just stating to adjust with her new schedule.
Pero ang bata talaga parang malaking malaking sponge na merong super powers na mag adjust in different environment and time. She used to squeal every morning, crying and all sa umaga dahil ayaw pa nyang bumangon. One time she really gave a fit na parang susuko na ako--mapapalo na talaga sya. I have to literally drag her to bathroom to groom and carry her back to our bedroom para naman magbihis. In midst of her tantrums, I'd to explain to her that mommy have to go to office too. And she can't be left alone in the house.
She's insisting on me that she's still antok and she just want to stay on her bed. "K'se naman mommy eh, I want to sleep kasi eh...antok pa si Pao-Pao eh. I want to stay home nga eh"....
Few more minutes dadating na ang driver, so I was really praying for her to stop. So, at the end I told her, "Ok, you stay here and mommy will go to office. You take care of the house and don't go out. If you want food and hungry ka na, no one will feed you. If you'd like, there is cheese cake there on the top of the cabinet, ok?"
I saw her eyes look at me with that vague expression like as if asking me "are you really going to leave me?"
Somehow the trick worked and she miraculously get up from bed and took her bag.
Those are the days talaga. Na parang ayun ka na...malapit na sa edge. I always keep reminding my self that she is a child and she need more understanding--more patience from me.
While going down from the stairs, she repeatedly explaining to me why she cried. "Kse I cried eh. Kse I'm sleepy eh. Kse I want to go home eh".
Yun yung mga pagkakataon na parang antig na antig ang puso ko. In her young mind, she is trying to explain to me while she's so upset. I am glad that i've resisted..na mapagalitan sya o mapalo. Instead, I chose to use another tactics to make her understand.
And masaya ako. Kse naririnig ko na syang magpaliwanag ng kanyang causes...like yesterday evening, she cried for almost half an hour. Like wailing for nothing. Then after the little spanking--(little lang as in panakot lang) and a big hug and after showering her with tons of kisses she told me that she was wanting to go with her father to the store..."kse sasama kse ako eh. Kse I told you mommy eh...". hahahah. Kasalanan ng mommy kse kaya pala nag susuot sya ng slippers nya---eh ang mommy pinagmamadaling makababa na ang tatay...ayun.
The same with what happen with the banana! You know naman mommies likes to make pakialam. She was so happy I gave her a banana. She was holding it for a good 15mins so I told her to eat it na. While taking out her shoes (we just came home from church), she suddenly told me na "ako na mommy" ang mag tatanggal ng sapatos nya and she gave me the banana. Ang pakialamerang nanay binuksan ang banana. Biglang umiyak!!! "I told you don't open eh!!! K'se later ko to eh....! kse mommy I told you eh!!! Whahehehe!
Hindi talaga matapos tapos ang sorry ko.
Natutuwa ako na natututo na syang mag express ng feelings. Na may cause ang bawat pag iyak nya.
Paolyne is growing up as a smart kid. Hindi sya masipag or so...konting exercise lang at takbo mag sasabi sya agad ng "I'm tired na".
I have all the time in the world to blog about her. Lahat lahat kahit mga expression ng face nya. At kung paano nya kami sinasabihan ng mga "dad, cover your mouth ganito oh--pag buburp ka"
"ok more, more more..ok, that's enough" kapag lalagyan mo sya ng food sa plato nya.
She tells me stories--kahit hirap na hirap syang magpaliwanag. Kasalanan din siguro namin kung bakit hindi nya maestablish ang matinong lengguaheng gagamitin nya.
I'm trying my best and jovel is trying his very best to take care of her during my absence (dahil wala kaming Ramadan timing--grrrrr!)
Sana nga lumaki syang mabait na bata...mana sa nanay, as usual! hahaha!

It has been a little rougher plus a little tougher since Nanay went home. Can't find a proper caretaker for Pao.

I've been hunting good Nursery/School for her since last week. If it is not frustrating, it's somewhat irritating.

But alas! Today is such a blessed day! My daughter had fun playing with Kuya Dante's daughter (--yeah I left my li'l princess with my colleague's wife/daughter, and kept my finger's crossed and trusted God to send angels to my baby while mom's away working her butt on this grudging 10 hours office work!)

Not only that they gave her a special day---I also found a school/nursery near our street. It's new and looks safer than others...

Haah! I know..i know, stress and all. But this time, we won't give up easily. Now that she's big enough anyway. At marunong ng magsumbong/kwento ang luka.

Sana nga we'll stick together forever na. Pray for us.

P.s. Tomorrow is her 1st day at school. Goodluck to us.

GIVOOGLE is the same search tool we are familiarly using daily (for all that what-not and know about) but with special touch.

The advertiser pays Google (Givoogle) 0.001% for every givoogle search used. Same for every 1000 view on their advertiser’s banner.

As mentioned on the site, Givoogle are able to raise $74 or more every year for every person who uses them as their homepage and the donation goes to American Cancer Society.

We waste water unintentionally, we litter the streets with our soda cans and cigarette butts (even someone is looking), we pollute the environment with our home equipments…we don’t recycle even!

So why don’t we make a small help by making Givoogle your homepage.

“I'm Starting With The Man In The MirrorI'm Asking Him To Change His WaysAnd No Message Could Have Been Any ClearerIf You Wanna Make The World A Better PlaceTake A Look At Yourself, And Then Make A Change”

P.s.
They are doing it for the American Cancer Society today. They might do it for our country one day.
