Friendship Plant

I called this one a friendship plant because this was given to me by my Korean friend Anne..

After the Sunday mass yesterday, she handed me this pot of pretty plants..

I was so happy because I love plants and Anne made my day yesterday. Thanks to your thoughtfulness my friend..

Crabby Night

Last night was a family fun night for us. When my husband John arrived from work he asked me what's the menu for dinner. I wasn't so enthusiastic to cook because I had a migraine the whole day. But then I do need to get up so I can make some food for dinner.. I remember the crab we bought the other week. It was the easiest one to cook. I just put coconut milk and bamboo shoots (both from can) and added some spices, and bam, it was good to go. It's funny because as I was cooking it, all of them were staring and patiently watching the pan full of crabs lol..

When it was done cooking, my kids were so excited to eat.. Hubby didn't eat, not so fond of it..

Rylie: I want my own plate pls..

Me: No, I'll just feed you guys because this needs extra work..

EJ: Mama.. Mama..uhhh (pointing at the crab)..

Me: Wait a minute guys, I need to remove the shell.

Rylie: I want some??

Me: Guys, be patient please..

I wasn't able to eat until they were done.. They ate a lot though so its worth the wait lol.

Language Barrier

Did you ever work with people whom language is the main concern? Did you ever had a bad day at work where in you already explain what happened but then they couldn't understand? These questions popped in my mind this week. In my work history, I never had a problem communicating with the people I worked with and to our clients. When you work in a foreign country where language barrier is the problem, you will find a hard time expressing your thoughts and feelings. No matter how extensive your explanation is, they just couldn't get it. Did you ever get frustrated when you talk to them, they nod their head to you as an agreement on what you said but find out later that they really don't understand a thing of what you told them.. It is so frustrating. What I experienced this week at work taught me a big lesson. DON'T TRUST ANYBODY BUT YOURSELF!

Blazin Hot

Whew, we survived the power outage today! The power got back at 4 pm but oh boy, I tell you that was sooooo terribly hot... I went to work at 11 am, I wasn't too happy about it because aside from not having electric in the work area, there's nothing to do either. I can't complain about it though because I get paid for doing nothing until the power resumed, besides I got to read my book lol.. It's just so dang hot in there, I'm glad it's over. Hubby said that they were sweating inside the house after they got back from the mall. So he just let the kids stay in the bathtub for an hour or so. I just wish that project like this (working on the power line) should be performed when the weather is a little bit cool not so blazin hot like today.

migraine attack

Have to go to bed early tonight, my migraine is killing me.. Happy blogging everyone and good night! I'll be absent tomorrow due to power outage and I have to go to work.. If you have time to read my posts, please don't forget to leave me comment.. Thanks a lot!
