May 2011 ups and down

The previous month God sent prosperity but I dont know why almost everytime I received something, there's always an unexpected huge expenses. This time or rather again, its the FX.

Tatay wanted a vehicle for so long, we initially wanted to give him the car but he opted for the fx reasoning that its bigger and can accomodate more. No problem with that. Our problem is the engine is malfunctioning and it turned out needed an overhaul again. That would cost around P5ok. Bimboy advised that it would be best to buy a new engine coz the FX's engine had already undergone two overhaul.

I was pissed. When we have begun to slightly recover, here we go again with this thing. My heart is so heavy even writing about this. Ive undergone lots of stress because of that vehicle. Ive questioned God, become bitter and negative. Why cant we be given a breather from this huge unexpected expenses, its ruining us financially. I have no choice however but to do something.

As of this writing, the FX has not yet been fixed. Renen asked some friends to help him get a cheap but a nice engine. (update: The vehicle was successfully transported by land to Carmen last August)

On May 8, mother's day, me and nanay got a chocolate cake from red ribbon from hubby. Ate Rita sent a liter of ice cream. We also ordered delivery from jolibee for Ron and us.

Meanwhile, babe celebrated his bday last May 15, wet went to church, trinoma and let Ron play. Babe then went to Proj. 8 to see his relatives. O May 18, I stayed at home coz I was not feeling well but babe had to have the FX engine's stenciled and start the process for the white plate.

For some time, I have felt numbness in my heart because of some things, I become somewhat upset with God but in HIs grace He brought me back. God, please help us through this. Help me not to lose faith in any circumstance, help us to put You above all else and in the center of everything.

Robb symon's nursery summer

After the 1st week, Ron was not able to go to school, he got dry cough, flu and even LBM. So Ron was absent for 2 days. We brought him to his pedia and he got better.

When he returned to class with me inside the classroom, he became really makulit, noisy and rowdy. His teacher was trying to teach him something but he did not listen so he was able to get only one correct answer. His teacher, in front of the other parents who were there, told me that Ron is playful, does not listen and got only one correct answer. I was pissed and embarrassed so I wrote a letter asking for consultation with that teacher and the principal, Mrs. Geronimo. So, last May 4, I and Nanay talked to Mrs. Geronimo and Teacher Babes. I told them about how I felt as well as my apprehensions. Our conversation went well.

My problem this time is that I enrolled Ron for June opening and I chose the 7:30am class. This early, its so hard to wake him up in the morning, he even cries if we force him to go downstairs for breakfast and bath. I hope he can still adjust. It will be difficult to enroll him in the 10:30am to 1pm class coz that would mean he will sleep late in the afternoon and late in the evening which would also mean that I can't go to sleep early.

UPDATE: Ron finished his summer class yesterday, May 20. All through out summer class, he was as usual, malikot but it turned out he learned a lot. But before that, here are some anecdotes. When Teacher Babes threatened him that she will get his shoes coz he's malikot, he answered hindi kasya. When the guard told him he should not run around and cry, he answered, iyak lang pag wala si mommy.

Meanwhile, his worksheets show that he can identify letters already. Even in this computer, he can type na his name RON. And best of all, he can now recite this 5 little pigs nursery rhyme. I never thought he can do it. When he recited it in class, Teacher Babes, hugged him, maybe she was surprised too.

Cebu trip May 6 and 7, 2011

My decision to go to Cebu proved worthwhile. My decision to go to there was because of my myoma. Since August last year, when I found out i had myoma,I've been hoping from one doctor to another. I didn't want to undergo surgery even if some doctors suggested I need it ASAP. Others said I just need to monitor it. My folks wanted me to have it asap.

But since our HMO expired last January, I could not make a move yet during the interim till April 1st when it was renewed. So, on April I went to medical city but the doctor there wanted me to sign a waiver that she might remove my uterus. The more I think about it, I realized that I'm not comfortable with that.

So I went to St. Luke's. The doctor there said there's no need for myomectomy at all. He just gave me meds for my mens. Inse then convinced me to go to Cebu to see her OB who is quite known there. It was indeed a good decision. The OB there also told me I dont need a surgery at all. Turned out, she was Dr. Moran's friend. She was compassionate, positive and reassuring.

I then went to visit my friends there like Lalang and Michelle from UP.

My relatives from Carmen were also there since Mama Andring had her check up.

All in all, it was a fun trip. Thanks God.
