How HOLY have you been this Holy Week?

For starters, every Holy Week is like some long, neverending Sunday.

The streets are empty and deserted like some Armageddon movie.

So instead of letting myself be swallowed up by MASSIVE and INTENSIVE Boredom.

For the first time this month of April I dragged my lazy ass to do the chores.

I started Holy Wednesday by cleaning the house -- mopping, wiping, sweeping the floor, etc.

After an hour or so, I was dizzy.

First batch of laundry, mainly my clothes, on Maudy Thursday.

Plus the fact that its my first day surfing the crimson waves. *grrr!*

Perfect, right? Right on.

Good Friday, second batch of laundry.

Wan's piled up clothes from the balikbayan box plus his other everyday used clothes. Perfect.

My hands was soaked up in Chlorine and weary of handwashing.

Then off for Holy Week procession at 5pm, this time, pushing his stroller for almost an hour.

I felt my hands in pain like I was nursing Rheumatism and Arthritis. =(

Black Saturday, did some laundry again, our soiled beddings this time plus Wan's clothes.

Did some chores and yes, IRONING.

Who wouldn't love that???

My Holy Week was Holier than HOLY, thank you.

We are confronted with insurmountable opportunities.

Good Friday.

Last bits of March

My little boy is growing up fast and I am happy that I am with him everyday seeing all of this. I am now getting used to calling him my little man instead of my little boy. We've been busy during the last weeks of March. I've been having Yaya problems, two down already and now I am back to the hardest part which is looking for one, again. Oh well, patience is not my virtue but I need it. For the mean time, its ME and Wan again. One on one. But don't get me wrong, I am a hands on Mum. :) My only problem is house chores, the cleaning and the cooking and the laundry. *grr*

Currently, Wan is going thru yet another teething phase, the two lower molars are out and now two upper fangs are slowly making their way out. No wonder he's been losing appetite, slight diarrhea and has been grinding his teeth often since last week. Poor guy. TLC from Mum is just what he needs along with Pedialyte and BRAT diet. =) Its been a rough March 2010 for us but still we got through it. These pictures are the BEST part of our STEAMY March... he'll be the next big thing tomorrow. :D A camwhore in training.

on a bird's eye view.

I am once again caught up in reading other people's blogs. I envy their zest and enthusiasm for writing down all their thoughts, if not everyday, every other day or maybe thrice a month or so. I miss that fire in me.

I miss that other side of my life, that I know, is way out of my league. This is my first ever entry for the month of March. As you can see, I am somewhat struggling though. Carefully filtering thru my thoughts, letting my fingers take charge.

I can't stand the wrath of El Nino. Its been bugging me lately and I have no choice but to turn the AC on. I know my next electric bill will be way beyond our regular bill... much as I want to do the TIPID routine, the our turbo fans can't handle it! I fear for overheating and the cause of potential fire outbreak.

Besides the El Nino thingy, Wan is really getting on my nerves lately. I guess this is the part where the real parenting begins. He's been all out and hyped up. He couldn't sit still.

I admit that my patience is being tested here, but his curiousity amazes me though. Sometimes I think he doesn't want me watching him do things.

I just noticed that today, when I caught him climbing a step up inorder for him to reach our bedroom, which I taught him how to do 2 days ago. He loves being active and doing things on his own, although, he still doesn't have the guts to walk by himself. He'll have his day, it'll come soon. We'll just have to wait. :)

He really got that I-AM-INDIE part from me as well as being STUBBORN too.

I am really enjoying the fact that I get to see all my son's achievements everyday. Watching him grow, explore and learn new things completes my role of being a mother to him.

Its priceless.

Its true what they say that you don't see that everyday and that it's only a once-in-a-lifetime moment that they are still innocent, little beings struggling their way to see the world...

Time does fly so fast. Before you know it, they're already be talking, cursing and even saying, "Mom, please don't wear that!" or "Mom, please shut up!". Well I am anticipating that day when I will find him covered by tattoos or going home drunk and wasted from a weekend party. :) Hehe.

Our Sunday's Best

how did your Sunday go?
