igi's sick again

actually it started yesterday. my sitter called me in the office requesting if igi can be picked up since he's having a bad case of diarrhea. i finished my work and in half an hour i was heading home. my poor son, pooping so frequent and he wouldn't eat anything except his pedialyte freezer pops and spoonful of rice.

then this morning, i had to wake up at 6am to call one of the costco warehouses in the northeast to check if my shipment made it on time for my roadshow and alas! only 1 made it and the other 3 that was coming from a different location are missing. aaaargh! and would you believe that a few minutes after i put down the phone my officemate Denise was calling me and telling me that our boss MK called them up at the same time i was on the phone with the receiving manager and asking them what happened to the 3 pallets. so from then on, i was on the phone with Costco, my broker and Denise and Ivan at 6am! talk about dedication to work and this is not even paid.

at around 7:45am, i called my boss and let him know that i can't come to work because my son is sick. i was even ready to listen to his sermon about reliability and no room for flexibility if cases like this arise. but surprisingly, he was nice and just talked to me about the costco mishap and what we should do. but of course, once we put the phone down, i don't know what he's gonna say to my officemates.

good thing i was able to get a schedule with Inigo's new doctor so she could check him up and see what's wrong with him. at 10:45am we were in the doctor's office and we're glad that the Dr. L assured us that it's nothing serious and we should just give him the BRAT diet (banana, rice, applesauce and toast) to stop the diarrhea and she also advised us to continue breastfeeding Inigo and not to introduce the bottle anymore as it may cause more trouble when it comes to weaning him.

after the doctor's appointment, we decided to have lunch at tony roma's to take advantage of our discount coupon. i had the full slap again and a glass of ice cold strawberry lemonade...tsalap!

well, at least everything is fine now with my son, the diarrhea has lessened and that he's starting to eat again. for now, that's what matters most.

my work...we'll see tomorrow =)

i've been tagged

by diva ria.....

actually, i've posted this entry on my multiply account so i'm just gonna do a cut and paste.

here goes...

I must post the rules, 7 random things about me and then tag others to do the same. Sound fair enough, right? These are the rules… each player starts with 7 random facts about themselves on their Blog. People who are tagged need to blog 7 facts about themselves and post the rules as well. At the end of their blog list 7 people you are tagging. Let them know that they are tagged by leaving them a comment.

1. when i like something (be it a blouse or shirt, shoes, bags or fashion accessories) i buy all the colors. i don't care if i won't be able to wear it right way basta happy ako na i have all the colors.
2. i cannot drink coke or any other soda without ice....it has to be lots of I-C-E!!!
3. i'm not really a movie-goer - i have to be all psyched to watch a movie or else i wouldn't enjoy it.
4. i love starbuck's - i reward myself every friday for a week worth of hard labor at work (kahit my boss refuses to recognize it).
5. i sleep on the right side of the bed.
6. i brush my teeth 3-4 times a day.
7. i hate hate hate cockroaches, snakes and anything that crawls...it gives me nightmares!

thanks diva ria!!! at least i was able to post something for the month of June =)

just some updates again...

i'm still using my old laptop. thank god that he's still hanging on...been dreading the day that he'll just die on me one day so i'm putting a limit to my usage just to keep him alive a little longer. =)

anyhoo, mother's day came and went and we didn't have a major celebration but it was a good one. sunday morning when i woke up i saw a card by the door and when i opened it - it was a card made by inigo's boobysitter. it had my son's photo and with a greeting of "happy mother's day and that I am the best mom!" it surely brought smile to my face and made my day.

then we just went swimming in the afternoon at dell's cousin's house in anaheim hills. inigo had fun swimming with his floaters on. his dad didn't hold him at all and he just kept swimming on his own. we're hoping that he would learn how to swim soon. i wanted to take photos of him but unfortunately, i forgot to take the battery from the charges so just imagine my dismay when i found out that i didn't have the battery on. busit! lost some precious moments tuloy. then after 2 hours, we headed home to rest and freshen up but then we got lazy and just decided to stay home since obviously all restaurants would be full being mother's day. dell promised to take me to dinner on thursday since it's his PTO.

we had dinner at tony roma's...enjoyed my full slab baby back ribs!

~~~

might be quitting my work soon. i cannot work for someone who has a very unstable mind (not the psychotic type). i have given him loyalty and proved him that i am reliable and yet he still doesn't trust me. i have sacrificed a lot just to satisfy him and yet it's not enough. that's all i can give to him...if he wants more then i'm sorry...i'm a mother first and foremost and my children is my top priority.

i would blog about this some other time when i am in a better state of mind because i am upset and disgusted with his management style.

oh my....my daughter would be starting college in a few days and she'll be going to benilde (just like mommy). i can still remember the time where i would take her to benilde when i need to get my grades or to enroll. she would just play in the plaza or sometimes just sit in one of the tables to wait for me...and now she would be walking the same hallways i've walked on for 3.5 years.

goodluck baby!

i can sleep tight now...i've just had my starbuck's caramel macchiato(?)...sorry caffeine doesn't keep me awake. it makes me do number 2 instead.

hahahahaha

pardon

my non-posting...yes i still have the same excuse and my laptop seems to be dying on me soon so i'm busy transferring all important stuff to a harddrive.

but i'll be back soon...with a vengeance and hopefully with a new laptop =)

haller...

mga friends...nagpaparamdam lang at baka isipin nyo e wala na akong gana mag-blog. busy lang talaga ang beauty ko sa trabaho at pag-aalaga ng anak ko na ubod na ng kulit! syempre, acceptable ang excuse ko davah? heniwei, just some updates on me - natuloy na rin sa wakas ang pinagkaplano-plano naming EB for the SoCal n@wies. although 5 only made it, it was still fun to see familiar faces and finally meeting Agnes and Wil Lacambra and Marla Rausch (na super slim!) and special thanks to Marife who flew pa from Arizona just for that affair. sayang the other couldn't make it but we can always plan another one since Sam will be staying muna here in the US. here are some of the photos taken...

that's it for now...chores are calling me...=(

07.04.07

lately, i realized that it takes a whole lot of convincing for me to watch a movie...i have to be all psyched up to go see one or else my mind will not be able to absorb any of the dialogues. a movie date with me has to be asked 2 weeks in advance to condition myself...weird noh?

but, i am definitely going to see this one by hook or by crook. this was one of my favorite shows back in highschool and in fact i tried to collect their die cast figures then but my dad wouldn't let me for the fear that i might turn into a tomboy...

the freedom to buy

i guess this is the best part of having a job and having your own money. on my way home, i got off at the bus stop near starbuck's and grabbed a venti caramel macchiatto and walked the 2 blocks home. i needed that walk (though short) to shake off the week's stressed brought by work. the cold weather, full moon and bright sky helped in clearing and relieving the headache i've been having because of all the obligations i have to fulfill at work. and of course, i am little elated because i now have my own money to buy myself a starbuck's. not that dell deprives me from having this once a week guilty pleasure but it felt like one of those things that i could live without.

tomorrow, i am going to have my nails done..... =)

and maybe buy some tops for work.....
