weeee I'm back, people! sorry for the delay, yours truly got sick for the past few days, and got busy with a lot of stuff. I still have a lil runny nose but it's all good. we took Nathan to the hospital last april 13th coz he had a very high fever, so we decided to take him to the hospital since it's just a 5 minute drive from our place, and from what we've noticed for the past 3 weeks he had some trouble urinating, I think it was very painful for him everytime he urinates. he'd scream and run around in circles with his toes curled up, then when he finishes we'd asked him:

"are you ok now? is it still hurting?" then he'd answer the same reply as always, "it's hurting my pee-pee.." hehee, that's the way he talks, his sentences aren't straight just yet. so the doc checked him out, he was very cooperative, he only cried when he had his shots in both legs and when they took a blood sample from his arm. an hour later we found out that he has a viral infection. we were sooo worried about Nathan. so doc gave us this medicine, Omnicef 7ml each day for 7 days. his last day is today and so far the past 4 days we didn't see him hurting at all, hurrayy!!

after Nathan getting sick, Jon had a fever, too, that night. then the next day my brother also probably caught it. so did I coz I realized after working 3 hours on my shift I started sneezing like crazy and my face was very red as a tomato, they tried telling me to go home but I told them I'd survive my 8 hour shift =/ Kimmy, my friend at the cash room bought me some soup, she's so sweet. now I really know she'd be a terrific successful nurse someday as well as her bestfriend Candice, they'll be graduating next year and I know I'll miss them terribly at work. they'll be interning at Queens and Tripler hospital. remember, guys: I LOVE YOU!!!

so after work at 11:00 I drove them downtown at Kapiolani hospital and left him there after settling down for 30 minutes, they said it was dangerous for cancer patients to have a high fever, a lot of cancer patients die if they disregard having a fever, they asked him to come to the hospital right away. so they had him confined up to now...

here's a funny conversation from Leona (my co-worker) and our customer refunding 10 vagisil creams.

Leona: ma'am, I need to see your receipt, and please sign your name at the bottom. by the way, what is wrong with the product?"
Customer: Oh, oh.. there's nothing wrong with it, in fact I bought a lot and I am just TOO DRY."

for most of you, it's not funny. but when Leona had finished refunding the vagisil creams, she was like, "I AM SO DRY!" helloooo, isn't that just too much information? we don't need to know that you're so dry. but yeah, if you were in our place here you'd be crackin up, too. arghh, grocery stores just have the funniest and irritating customers ever. cripes, a lot of people would think our jobs would be stressful, to tell you the truth it is SURE stressful but if you're enjoying yourself you'd be successful soon enough. all we have to do is have patience. patience is a virtue. that's our motto. and it always works everytime. every thing pays of in the right time.

I threw a lot of papers from last year, it was my my mother-in-law's print outs from over hundreds of houses for sale ads, she would be spending her vacation here around July, and I am pretty sure we'll be house hunting again like we did last year. she's constantly collecting newspapers everyday, looking at ads for affordable houses. she wants us to buy a house asap, coz if you think about it spending 1250 a month on a one bedroom condo including utilities is expensive. not for us, we don't think about that just yet. it seems like the money we're spending is enough for mortgage already. so we decided not to buy a house here, me and hubby decided we'd finally buy a house in San Diego, where my sister-in-law and her family would settle down eventually, maybe in about 3 yrs. they have one more stop in Korea and that's it. I am hoping by then my brother would be as healthy as ever so he can move on with his life, too. I love my brother very much and I just worried with his situation. as for this week, I am taking my mom to the airport, at Gate Gourmet to apply for a job, please pray for my mom... I hope she gets it...

and of course last but not the least...
