Malinaw na Mata

Posted on March 31, 2011 by greenbucks| 8 Comments

Mata ni Bunso. Malinaw, maputi at hindi pa kailangan magsuot ng salamin.

eye

Ako man, kahit malabo at hindi nakikita ang may konting kalayuan, hindi din nagsusuot ng salamin sa mata. Wala lang. Pero sa ngayon, hindi ko pa inilalayo ang cellphone pag nagbabasa ng text messages o kaya ang paperback o newspaper na binabasa ko, LOL.

Correction po: malabo ang mata ko, last ko patingin sa opthalmologist 2 years ago 2.50 ang grado ko, malamang mas mataas na ngayon especially kahit sa sinehan di ko nababasa ang subtitle, ack! Ang near sightedness ko ay ok pa din, I can still read pocketbooks normally, di kagaya nang ibang ka-edad ko, inilalayo ang cellphone para mabasa ang text, hihihi.

My Papa at 72

Posted on March 29, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

Looking at my papa makes me feel happy and sad at the same time. I feel happy because he looks better now than he was a few years ago almost fighting for his life. He is still himself, opinionated, early riser and noon napper. At 72, not all his hair is white and his favorite drink is still that dark liquid that fizzes when opened, haha.

He has retired for almost two decades. He still works, manning the small store and taking charge of newspaper subscriptions of several offices in our small town. Although he has no disability insurance, he and my mama get by with the income they have with the small business and even make some extra from other referrals from cake and balloon orders.

They are both well, thank God, for they eat healthy food and get enough rest. They get to eat fast food once or twice a week and not feel faint nor queasy.They don’t scrimp on the things that will make them healthy so that they will not spend on medicine and doctors’ fees.

I am thankful I have them as my parents for they do not just love me and my brother unconditionally, they also love their grandchildren a lot, without a doubt.

Lonely Ride

Posted on March 29, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

We had an early start yesterday morning. The long early morning drive was a bit boring, save for some music playing. I would have wanted to sleep but I’m not comfortable sleeping when in transit, except when I am extremely tired.

Early Morning

We also listened to the early morning news chatter and truthfully, I’m glad we weren’t stuck in traffic like other commuters. We just switched to music when the topics discussed were not that relevant to us. Some of the topics we listened to that were discussed were the return of a senator after months (or was it more than  a year) of not appearing because he has a case, Japan tsunami effects, hgh releasers and summer fun activities for the kids.

Going home was a lonely ride too, because the night was extra dark and the drizzles didn’t help perk up the mood. I was sleeping on and off on our way home and was glad when we arrived safely.

Was it worth the long hours on the road? Of course! I got to spend a few hours with my parents and children vacationing with them. Our youngest child was left behind though.

I Don’t Have $500k

Posted on March 10, 2011 by greenbucks| Leave a comment

I saw a link in Facebook that got me excited. I could actually live in Vermont with my family? Whoa! Of course, I clicked.

My excitement was short-lived though because I need at LEAST $500k as investment money. Sigh…

Nobody said it would be easy to live far from where we are right now. If only I can carry the house and have it placed somewhere else. Outer Banks? Tagaytay? near the beach? Near the mountains with cool air? Yes!

Why? as we were having our dinner around 7pm one of the kids noted: “Why are there still children playing outside at this hour?” So there.
