Busy with Home Improvement

DH and his brother are now busy with the renovation in their Montalban house and this morning DH travelled there to help in finishing the ground floor terrace. They made it like it’s an extension of the house and hopes to finish all before SIL and her kids arrives. They will spent a month-long vacation here and SIL want to stay at the house after they leave the hotel. It’s more than four years since the kids had their vacation here and they’re really excited about it. 

Meanwhile everything should be complete by Sunday and they’re rushing the construction and repair at this time. I heard they’re going to need some tools, clevis pins, tile cutters, paints and a lot more so I’m going to ask my brother if I can borrow some of the bigger tools to help them work faster. Anyway after all the hardship in their renovation work I know that they will be happy to see the beautiful results.

This is a late posting of my Mom's 80th birthday last May 30.  We're so blessed to celebrate her birthday and so thankful that at her age she's in the best of health in body and in mind and I must say still beautiful. Her happiness lingers in her eyes as she spends the day with the closest family, her children (us), her grand kids, in-laws and relatives.  

We were planning her birthday as early as January but decided before month of May that we'll have it somewhere nice and cozy instead of having it in our house.  We want to enjoy the moment of bonding with the family that we've chosen a simple cozy buffet restaurant so everyone can relax while enjoying the chit chat and food.  

As expected we all had a great time especially the little boys who were tricked by my brother to eat 10 dishes or desserts or they will pay charges lol.  Kuya did it because Matt didn't want to eat most of the times so with Kuya's little game he made Josh and Matt taste most of the dishes in very small portions.

Mom was so happy and relaxed as seen from her glowing face and told me and Redge that it's better than having it at home.  Of course it's better as once in a while we love eating in buffet or eat-all-you can restaurant because you can have more dishes and desserts in a not-so expensive price.  

Btw that's in Tramway Buffet Plaza in Shaw Blvd. where you can eat all you can for the price of P288/head.  We're able to avail the discounted price of P238 at that time. This is too long I'll share the dishes on my other blog.

Protective Gears on Our Vacation

With our forthcoming church camp meeting fellowship on December we need some warm clothes if we’re going to have prayer warrior activities in the camp site garden. We decided not to go to Baguio this December and instead in the hill areas in the town next to us. Last year we had our vacation fellowship in Baguio with all of our 70 church members. We experienced real cold temperature there and it’s good that I followed the advice of my friend to bring along thick coats or we’ll be chilling our way to the park at night. It will also be great to have those north face down coats I saw recently because it can really prevent cold from seeping through your skin. 

It’s not enough to have the cardigans because you’ll have to go home before the night strikes as the cold breeze is so much to handle. Well I’m really not that strong when it comes to cold weather but I saw all my church mates were also biting their teeth when we stayed late at Burnham park so I’m sure I’m not the only one who felt the strong cold weather. Still we enjoyed our super cool vacation in Baguio and hope to go back there next summer.

Everything that I plan for the house I see to it that he sees it for approval. I just love having an Engineer for a brother as it would be hard to manage construction or renovation if you always have to pay for advice and consultation. They say that best thing in life is free and so my brother’s service to us lol!

When he’s in need of equipment or construction accessories I search and canvass those things for him.

My Cousin’s Hunting Hobby

When I was younger and still living in the hometown of my Mom I’m used to seeing my cousin Hermie getting up early to hunt for animals in the mountain. I remember asking him why he has to be so early and with many hunting gadgets to carry. It’s actually his hobby and he carries not only gadgets but protective equipment as well to protect himself from wild animals like wild boar, snake and other animals he encounters. He only does it once in a month but he’s very keen on this job. 

In his time hunting gears are simple and not so protective unlike now with the likes of Boggs Eagle Cap Hunting Boots which is very durable, waterproof and reliable to protect the user from scrapes and branches. Well it just goes with the times as in early years it’s not that dangerous unlike now that there are various risks you’ll have to take when hunting. You will not only encounter wild animals but sometimes wild people also.

Fun and Educational Toys

Buying toys for your kids should be done with careful thinking. As loving parents we want them to have the best things in life and that includes buying their favorite toys but are we giving them the best by following their demands? In this regard, some parents may agree or disagree as they say children should be given the toys they want when they’re young in order that they pass through their playing age with satisfaction. 

I agree that they shouldn’t be deprived but I also learned that they should not be over indulged with the things that would make them spoiled kids. There should be limitations in giving toys to our children especially if the toys we’re talking about are not safe physically and mentally. There’s also the question of buying them too much expensive toys that makes them used to always having it their own way. In short there should be limit in the kinds and value of toys, as parents we should know when they should have it. 

As a guide in buying the right toys for your little ones you should remember that it’s better if we will buy most of their toys from the educational toys department because it will not only harness their capabilities but will enjoy it as well. There are plenty of educational toys that will provide the right amount of playing, enjoyment and education.
