It’s Not Right To Be Sick

Yesterday as I accompanied my daughter in her school activities I wasn’t prepared for the effect of the scorching heat that we caught on our way back home. I can’t leave my daughter to her teacher and the group to bring her home; I was also thinking that they will bring back to their home school which is few kilometers from the house. Since I can’t convince Ruth to go home earlier I just stayed the whole morning until lunchtime until the group finally went home.

We reached our house lunchtime and my two younger kids said that they missed me a lot when I was away with their sister. You know Saturday is a special day for them aside from Sunday because it’s our bonding moments. When I set everything up for their lunch I just stayed a little while in my PC to check on snowmobile exhaust that my brother was asking me to canvass then I sleep and rest. It was a bad rest as I felt difficulty in breathing, I just lay there trying to sleep but can’t relax due to abnormal breathing. A cousin told me that the heat stroked me badly and I tried to fight the ill feeling. I decided to stop resting and took a cold shower that normalizes my body temperature and began to breathe normally.

For two weeks I’ve been sleeping badly meaning sleeping late and waking up very early so this can be the cause for what I encountered so I promised myself that I will take some break or else I will not be able to take care of my kids and so on…. As the commercial of one multivitamin say ‘it’s not right to be sick’.

Repeat Performance

Woke up very early to accompany Ruth to their group repeat performance of The Bells, they won the competition last October 3, 2008. They championed the poem reading competition for the Literacy Month and won over 10 schools. Their piece was ‘The Bells’ by Edgar Allan Poe. It was a very happy moment for Ruth and I was a little sad that I wasn’t there to watch their performance. Now as the town of Cainta has a program who will be attended by the dignitaries including our town’s mayor Mon Ilagan they were invited to have a repeat performance to show the dignitaries and all the teachers present that they deserve being the champion.

They gathered at their home school, practiced there and traveled to Karangalan Elem School where the program will be held. The teachers were a little bit nervous because the participants seem so relaxed and not at their best performance so they go to a secluded corner of the place and warmed up. For me I know that they can do the same performance as they did when they won the title, you know kids are like that sometimes they want to give their best on the real stage with real people watching them. And true enough they did a very nice performance again, I saw Mayor Mon and some other dignitaries including the foreign visitor smiling as they watch the children rendering ‘The Bells’.

I was the one who took photos and videos of them. As they say I’m really a stage mom lol! And who would miss this chance to document your child life’s memorable moments? Of course I won’t miss the chance!

Here are some pics!

Shadow Of Your Wings!

I’ve been listening early in the morning for my favorite Christian songs when I picked Shadow of Your Wings by Australia Hillsongs and Darlene Zschech. This song truly proves that God is our refuge and strength in times of trouble and problem. There’s no one that we can be assured that we’re safe and protected from any harm. In His care we can cast away all our burdens and anxieties this world has given us. It’s like hiding in the shadow of His wings where we can be safe and peaceful within. Here’s a rundown of the lyrics, feel free to savor the meaning of each line.

TV Relaxation

After an exhausting day at the office and even tiring travel going back home I find it hard to eat as soon as I reached home much less do some blogging. Well I’m just too worn out after whole day’s work to do anything right away so I just spent time with my kids helping them with their school assignments.

After making sure they’ve done all required projects and assignments I prepare the table for dinner. It was a daily task for me and after all these things I will make sure that I relax myself by watching cable movies on our tv. For me it’s one of the most relaxing moments especially when you’re watching light comedy shows or inspirational theme movies. Glad I bought a bigger television two years ago which gave us a better viewing experience.

We'll Make It!

We had a wonderful bible sharing which took us until 10:30 in the evening and after dinner and many goodbyes we were ready to go home past eleven. After so many weeks of giving time to my other blog ‘My Crossroads’ I’m now resting my body and mind. I’ve refrained for few days now from my habit of working until past midnight.

I got sick from this habit and I realized I should value my health also for me and my family’s sake as well. How could I care for my kids if I’m not physically healthy? Well as I’m finished submitting and applying that to some companies now I’m just waiting for other’s approval. This is so important to me as I’m leaving my work and I plan to finish my employment this December. With my blogs, a small business and God’s help we will make it through.
