These few points in her speech that I really really would love to read again.
Those moms and parents never get thanked. I, in particular, failed to thank one. So… if I can take this moment to thank Helga B. for not letting me ride in cars with boys until I was 18 because she was right. I would’ve done what she said I was gonna do. For making me practice every day when I got home. Piano, ballet, whatever it is I wanted to be. She said to be an artist, you had to practice every day, and for reminding her daughters that there’s no race, no religion, no class system, no color, nothing, no sexual orientation that makes us better than anyone else. We are all deserving of love. So, to that trailblazer, who allowed me to have that.

For full recount of her speech,you can check from here ; Best Actress Sandra Bullock’s Oscar acceptance speech

Congratulations and I am putting that movie on my list - Blind Side.

could be deceiving. Our very own, raw house in Cavite. Looks crappy, leh? Yeah, it is very raw and we are proud owners of this. This year, we plan to do some minor renovation to make the house livable as we ought to rent this out and perhaps expect a return of investment.

I thank my dear friend DJ for helping me with the legwork, paperwork, etc to make this finally turned over to our names. And oh, yeah. she will help me with renovations as well as it is impossible to manage it virtually. I thank you dear friend.

And yehey, this is in the priorities we have this year, we call this Investments!

exchange rate is high.
1 SGD= 33.4 pesoses.
So far, this is the highest i have experienced since I came here. It might reach 35 soon. Worth being an OFW for now. But I know, I may not last—-not too long here. But I will never know what the future brings. The good Lord has brought me so many surprises.

And most of that is Chy’s tremendous growth through the years. The amount of information on her mind and the way she digest and relates it to real life. And do you know that she could read now? I am glad she likes story books. But most likely, if she pursue education here, she will have books to overwhelm her- kids here are just too studious, i do not know how we could catch up. Just ridiculous to imagine. I am no rush though…as she is inclined to pursue being a ballerina :-)

turn around the state that you are now.
I am actually good at it- ignoring the negative ones and thrive on what makes me happy most. But these past days- I have been very cautious on a lot that made me wish ……… wish I were a little bit reckless.
=========================
My Chy’s vocabulary

sweat - means waters flowing down from the body ( she makes sense)

snore- for the boys, comes out from the nose , for the girls- it comes out from the mouth. ( hmmm) she sort of customized it.
=========================

and this li’l cuteness intro when she wants to talk to me; ” mama, I want to talk to you”
=========================

Tomorrow, my meeting calendar is just crazy.This job doesn’t need me in the next months. So, help me God.
==========================
