Good Behavior Reward

EJ got this from his teacher for having the most number of stickers for behavior chart in their class.  Mrs. Gain knows that EJ love Spider Man and puzzle so she got him this which is perfect.

Puzzle is such a  good  activity for the kids and adult.  It  creates a good family bonding and it is a great exercise for our brains.  We have so many puzzles here at home.  The complicated ones that we did, I framed them  so we could preserved the memory we spent together in  completing it.

Tumor (Myoma)

My sister Rosel (in pink) has been diagnosed with  a tumor (myoma) in her  uterus.   It is not malignant but it is causing her so much pain so needs an immediate  surgery.  She will be  having the surgery soon and it is worrying me.  I am very stressed because I already experienced a losing  one of my siblings and this is making me paranoid.  She  is asking for financial help because they couldn't afford the surgery.  They have three kids and her husband 's salary  as a maintenance crew at Tesda isn't enough.

"When it rains, it pours."  I say that because my Mom needs financial aid too  for  another issue  and it is making me insane right now.  I have no job here and blogging is certainly down at this time so I am stressing out.  MY husband is always willing to help but since we are not rich and we have bills to pay every month, we certainly don't have  savings for  extra emergencies like this.

I thought of  making a  fund-raising  campaign but hubby did not want me to do that.  I dunno what to do but pray that I could come up with something so I could send the amount they need.  It is so hard.

I have never done  this before but I am reaching out for your help, financially and spiritually (prayers).   I have to come up with $600 to help my sister but I only got $90 in my paypal as of now so if you could please donate any amount (even just a dollar), it would be greatly appreciated!  You may send it to my paypal - cutiestfriend@yahoo.com.  Thank you very much in advance and God bless you for your generosity and caring hearts!

UPDATE:  Earlier this week, I talked to my sister and her  surgery was scheduled on the 11th of November but today, she was admitted to the hospital as her condition is getting worse and her surgery was re-scheduled at an earlier date - November 4, was moved again to October 29th.   Please continue to  keep her in your prayers, thank you so much!

11th Anniversary

 When hubby and I celebrated our 11th wedding anniversary, we took the kids to places we've never been to.  It wasn't extra ordinary but something different  than what we normally do.  We  explored the big  seafood market in Pittsburgh and then we also ate there.  Then on our way home, we  drove by the shopping area at Settler's Ridge Market District.

Since 11 was an odd number, we did odd stuff that we don't usually do.  The kids have enjoyed it and so did we.  It was a simple celebration but  quite memorable.  For us, it doesn't matter if we don't have a lavish way of celebrating anniversary, what matters is the  happiness that all of us including our kids has for the occasion.  May God bless  us more with more years of being in-love together.

ALS Ice Bucket Challenge

My whole family was nominated to do the ICE Bucket Challenge.  My kids were very excited to do it but before we let them do it, we  explained to them  the importance of this challenge. This challenge is being done by so many people to  help raise awareness about  the Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS), often referred to as "Lou Gehrig's Disease". ALS is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that affects nerve cells in the brain and the spinal cord. I have seen  few  videos of people  that are affected of this disease and it  is heartbreaking.

Here is the video of my daughter's  challenge.  Hubby and EJ were posted on Facebook as well.   Both of the kids don't feel really good when  they did the challenge so we let the ice melt first before dumping  it it on them.   If you have seen my  son's video, I did not like how my husband dumped it on him  but my son liked it, he think it was cool.

As part of the challenge, you have to make a monetary donation to ALS Foundation.  You can donate as low as $5.  If everyone who does the challenge will  donate, ALS will have the help they need to  do research and extend  help to  people who are battling with  ALS.

I hope that you can help too even if you don't do the challenge, you can make a donation  here.
