Summer Camp

Hayden finished her summer school at her regular school (Holy Family Grade School) and now she's on to summer camp until school starts at the end of August!  She will be in 4th Grade.

Another Summer Job

You guessed it right! SPEED.  My niece and I moved on to card games.  After a 45min walk around our neighborhood with my mom, Hayden and I played a 5/5 game of Speed.  And you guessed it right again.  I won!  I wasn't shy about it either.   Hayden went to bed with these last words, "not fair!"  And I said, "rematch tomorrow!"  All in a day's work.

My Summer Job

Yup! Summer is here and this is what I do after my real job is finished. I play monopoly with my niece and I love it!

Summer Is Here

I can't believe I've been gone this long from posting on this blog!  Blame it on fb.

Let's see, so far here are some of the highlights this year.

I finally took a 3 week vacation and had a blast at my high school and elementary reunions.  I accomplished a goal of going to a place I've never been before in the Philippines thanks to my cousin Dara and a dear friend Lisa's generosity and who took me to Tagaytay.  I sadly missed a Spain trip with best friends Ilay and Bunay and explored Hong Kong instead.

The lab hired a much needed help but somehow I can't understand how I'm exhausted and feels like the work days got shorter and my to do list got exponentially longer.

Bailed on an overnight camping trip on Leo Carillo Beach due to "over sensory kids overload syndrome," even though it took me 3 hours driving bumper to bumper to get there on a 4th of July weekend and 2 hours driving back the same snail's pace after spending maybe 1 hour tops watching my sister and her boyfriend set-up the huge family tent and probably ate almost a half of the huge, sweet and delicious watermelon. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE KIDS!

I have been eating salads for lunch for the past week or so. I seem to be enjoying a nice glass of Shiraz, or Rose or Muscat Canelli on any given Fridays or Saturdays.

Yup! Definitely, summer is finally here.  Bring It ON.......  Here's to more posts in this blog:)

Road Trip#1

4 hours to San Diego, 3 hours @ Sea World, 2 hours to L.A. 

Cooped up in a van and having cabin fever with your loved ones = PRICELESS

Museum Outing

The "Mummies 3D Secret of the Pharaohs"  is amazing!!!!  Summer is finally here....

Goodbye Manay Amy

I got a phone call from the Philippines this morning and received a news that my cousin, Manay Amy is in critical condition.  On my way home from work this afternoon, I got a text that said, "she passed away."  She fought a long and very hard battle with a nasty disease. Now it's time for my cousin to rest. I am so sad but happy that she is not suffering anymore.  Rest in peace Manay Amy.
