darn you!!! (long post ahead)

hahaa! pardon the post but yeah.. I am currently cooking right now our favorite Menudo and *cough* it's about 10:30 pm. yes, I'm weird like that, I didn't cook anything today so I am making a batch for our lunch and dinner tomorrow. we just came home from the hospital, my brother's going to be discharged tomorrow morning and I won't have time to cook.

speaking of the title I meant the germs, me and Jon woke up around 4:30 am with the sound of sobbing and sniffing, a lil cry that would really scare you. we thought he was just having a bad dream so we turned the lights on right away since we felt some wetness in our bed, and aaww poor baby vomited all over our bed. so we thought it was just a lil indigestion since he overate that night. we told my mom to watch Nathan and call us if we need to take him badly to the hospital. well, my mom informed me that he kept vomiting all day at least 6 times when we were away. after picking up a box of pizza at Costco we stopped and fed Nathan a lil bit of cheese pizza and not even 3 minutes later he threw up again! so we were on our way to the hospital to drop off some food at my brother then continued on to Kaiser.

Nathan got confined for at least 5 hours, golly.. they had him drink pedialyte which was really hard for me since he didn't want to take it. next, they had to draw blood from him so they poked his arms, ughh blood squirted everywhere coz I swear that kid is strong! I had tiny scratches on my face struggling to keep his arms and legs straight. when it was time to put an IV on him they wrapped him cocoon like in a blanket and I think It took 4 nurses to keep him still, he was screaming bloody murder, I tell ya. he kept on doo dooing and I guess that he had diarrhea, coz all day air was having a hard time going out of his stomach. my poor lil man, he suffered so much this month, darn germs!! you can never be too careful. I am so thankful to God he wasn't dehydrated at all.

near death experience
I was hospitalized because of dehydration when I was 16, I was already dressed up for school when all of a sudden I sat down and told my mom that I was having LBM for 3 days already, diarrhea pills weren't helping at all. so I stayed home, but then I was so in pain I told my mom I can't walk straight anymore, my mom rushed me to the hospital coz she saw my nails were almost black already and my face was so pale. after getting admitted at Afable Hospital (my hubby's house was near that hospital. coincidence?) the doctor told my mom that they brought me so late and I had only 12 hours to live. my mom almost fainted when she heard that and she cried so bad. but thank God everything was back to normal. that was such a near death experience, that's why I am loving every bit of my life no matter what pain I go through. another was when I was about to get married with Jon, it was a week before our wedding day. it was also dehydration, and stress because my MIL was a city councilor at the time and we had such a hectic schedule, I was always there to accompany her to her meetings and campaigns, wether it was sunny or rainy I was there to help her. somehow one day I just got it and I couldn't get out of bed. my hubby was giving me a sponge bath and all of a sudden I was getting hot and cold at the same time, hubby rushed me to the hospital as quickly as he could(nagdidiliryo na raw ako) my MIL cried and blamed herself for everything. lapitin daw sa disgrasya ang magkasintahan pag malapit nang ikasal sabi nila. I really don't believe in superstitious beliefs, nagkataon lang talaga siguro. so anyways, I got out of the hopsital right before our wedding and can you believe I was coughing so bad at our reception, how embarrassing! so that leaves us with our story for the day. how lil things like germs can invade your body and could also cost you your life. grr.. and yes, my bestfriend is now water.

I have some assignments from mommy Rose and Yvie.

why do I blog?
I blog simply because I have this certain fulfillment whenever I finish a post. or sometimes whenever I feel down or feel inspired I usually love jotting things down from my mind. I really don't care if people don't read my posts, coz we all know we can't impress everybody, and I am not here to do that either. my posts are mainly about my family, I truly love my family very much and I am always inspired because of them. one more thing is I love blogging because I meet a lot of nice wonderful people who put a lot of input in my site, great feedbacks on my situations and lil comments that make me smile everyday. I don't care if I have a comment or two, I enjoy posting and I love meeting new people everyday. from miles and miles away I realized you can also gain friends thru the net and one outlet is thru blogging. I always stopped blogging and the next thing you know I am back again on the net. I love reading all my previous posts and I am sure you do. it's like reliving the greatest moments that happened in your life. so whenever I get the chance I document every possible detail ever. sooo, that's why I blog.

random stories


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...

pictures time+ long story


first of all hope you guys had a great easter! early saturday morning I had to drive hubby to work at 5:30 in the morning. drove back home waited the next 2 hours, stayed in bed and instead of dozing off watched "six feet under" on tv. drove my brother to Kapiolani for his chemo, took Nathan and mom at St. Philomena's chapel nearby our home. after that we went to the easter egg hunt, and nope, Nathan didn't play. why? coz we're too late and besides the heat is just killing us that day so we decided to head back home and eat ice cream.


Nate and mom in front of our van at the chapel.



I love you...



just too pretty to miss.



at the Salt lake community easter egg hunt.



Nathan enjoying himself.



Nathan with his egg eyes. trying to be funny. =)



after a long day...whew!


well, the day didn't end there, Jon wanted to shop at Daiei (now, Don Quijote) but something popped in his mind, he wanted to drive us at Waianae since we've never been there, and after long, long miles later we finally saw what waianae looked like. it basically looks like subic back in the Philippines, if you've been to subic, Zambales then you know what I'm talking about. it's so quiet there and laid back, feels like home, I suddenly miss Olongapo *sniff* anyways, the beaches are terrific although it's a lil scary living way over there. on our way back I spot the pretty subdivisions nearby the interstate, I shrieked in excitement for I loooove looking at houses, wishing someday we could already afford to buy one soon. but I don't think we'll be buying one here sooner coz houses here in Hawaii is ohh, so pricey! drat.

anywaysss, I'll be seeing you guys later... time for me to sleep. =) mahalo nui loa!
