We had so much fun!

During my late brother's wake, we made it sure to cheer up my nieces in order to relieve some of their stress. We always went to the ocean everyday and do something like making sand castle, finding some crabs, collect some shells, and swam! I taught EJ how to swim and he had so much fun doing it.

We've seen an octopus in the sand so the kids watched it crawled back to the ocean. Do you see the octopus? I feel so bad for my nieces, they cried so much when we buried their father.

Anahaw Leaves

My family lives in Southern part of Luzon in the Philippines where the famous whale sharks can be found, in Donsol Sorsogon. My mother wants to live there because she was born and raised in Donsol, she find it very peaceful stay where she grew up. Most of the houses there uses Anahaw leaves for the roofing, only few uses the galvanized iron corrugated ones. Anahaw leaves makes the inside of the house more cooler compared to having a G.I.corr roof. Here are some snapshots of the anahaw leaves that hubby took when I introduced him to this plant. My father planted this before he died.

Have you ever seen an anahaw? I posted a researched details about anahaw at the comment section so you may read it if you are interested. I also found out that aside from fan (product i know out of anahaw) there is still product that you can make out of this leaf. I also would like to add that when I was in grade school we don't have lunch boxes so we were using the baby anahaw leaves to put our foods in, it's our alternative for banana leaves. You might not believe it but its true..

We brought EJ to the Hospital

When we came back from the Philippines, my husband and  kids got diarrhea. I think it was from the mango shake that they had in legazpi the day prior to our flight. My daughter was okay now and so my husband but our son is taking it a little bit hard. He is fevered since last night so we brought him to the hospital this morning. He is still fevered until now but did not go (diarr..) so far. That's the reason why, I haven't been able to visit you guys, I apologize. Thank you for your continuous visits.

What I like about our children when they get sick is that they try their very best to stay active even if they don't feel good.

Here's our Princess who is celebrating her 4th birthday today. Happy birthday Rye!
