November 8, Saturday, we supposed to got to UMC for Adrian's follow up check-up; but when we check the schedule, the doctor schedule is afternoon only from 2-3pm. So we decided to go there on sunday when he has a morning schedule. We also scheduled to go to Makati City to buy the ordered perfumes. It is my husband's small business, he was selling perfumes to his friends and for a couple of months now and it is doing fine, today he had 13 orders. But before that we have to meet his friend along the macapagal road who is selling electronic gadgets, my husband also has one Ipod touch order sor a co-employee. While waiting for him, we decided to eat at the KFC because it is almost lunch time.
After buying the perfumes, we went to SM Mall of Asia to buy some small things. The mall has started to decorate the area with Christmas decorations. They are just started to built big Christmas tree in the center. I am also looking for additional ornaments for our Christmas tree but I don't see anything that I like. Most of it has glitters on it, and I don't like decorations with glitters on it. Adrian saw the skating rink and he asked if he can do skating. His father told him that he cannot because his wound is still not healed yet.
After strolling the mall for couple of hours, we decided to go home.

November 2 - Emergency Room At La Salle
November 2, Sunday night, accident happens when you least expected it. I do not like to write this on my blog, because I only write good memories and happy ones (that is why I am not writing anything about work here, unless it is about promotion or recognition); but my husband told me told do so. We were already at home then I carried my son as he fell asleep in the car. I asked him to wake up and he answered. When I opened the door, I let him stand and he tried few steps to the sofa which is just few steps from our doorstep.
It is too late that I saw that he fell, he cried and when I pick him up I saw blood under his chin. My husband and Claire were still unloading our things in the car. I told my husband immediately that we need to go to the hospital. Adrian is afraid of hospital and needles. He keeps on telling us that he is okay and there is no need to go to hospital.
When we arrived at the emergency room, the attending doctor looks in his wound. He told us that the wound may or may not need stitching, but he says that stitching the wound will make it to heal faster and will leave a smaller mark. So we decided to go for the stitching. But before he can proceed with that, he injected Anesthesia. This is the time that we need to help the nurses in controlling my son. He fears needles that much that we are four and yet we cannot control my son. I almost cry during that time, but I control myself. At last my husband finds a way; he talked to Adrian that it will be fast and lesser painful after the injection. After the injection; the doctor proceed with stitching, Adrian actually asked me what the doctor is doing, the anesthesia already worked. We just told him the doctor is cleaning his wound. We also requested for X-ray of my son’s skull, to find out whether he had some dislocated bones, thank God, the x-ray shows no dislocated or fracture on his skull.
The doctor gave him antibiotic for a week and then we went home. Before sleeping we told Adrian that it should not happen again and we should be very careful in every action that we are taking. As a precaution, we told him that as much as possible, he will not sleep in the car, or if he really fell asleep, my husband will carry him to the house. After that we prayed together and thank God.

November 2 - Welcome Home Celebration Part 2
November 2, Sunday morning, my mother woke up early to went to the market for our food for that day. My mother told me to prepare breakfast as she will be coming late, and the kids may want ot have an early breakfast; especially my son who used to have breakfast as early as 5am in the morning. I cooked hotdogs, ham and eggs. I was not wrong my son was the first to wake up among the kids.
We had to eat first because the dining table is only for 6 persons. My son hates ketchup so the one sitting beside him should have no ketchup on the plate.
The after few more minutes, the other kids went down to have their breakfast. Ate Maricel take charge of cooking the menudo and buttered shrimp for lunch; while Ate Cris has to go after having breakfast, she left Kyla with us. She has to open her store, because sunday has most number of customers. Matet has to go to PLDT Imus for her on the job training.
At lunch time, Adis arrived together with her boyfriend JV. We actually met him before, he has been in the house for several sundays. In the afternoon, we are waiting for Lala and her family. She is now in-charge at the small eatery and store that my parents left in Dampalit.
I grilled tahong, liempo and tilapia for the dinner, while Ate Maricel cooked spaghetti for the kids. My father, Kuya Jimmy, my husband and Jayvee were having some bottles of beer. We are playing badminton in the road when we saw Kyla crying, she told us that seh wanted to go because she already misses her mother. Lala still not arrived but we decided to go because Kyla will not stop crying. She and her mother were very close to eah other, since her father was in Qatar for two years. Ate Maricel with her family also decided to come with us.

November 1 - Welcome Home Celebration
November 1, Saturday, we arrived at Imus at around 8pm. My parents are at the front of the house waiting for Ate Liezel, while the kids are inside watching cartoons. Ate Maricel and Kuya Jimmy with son Charlie were already there when we arrived. We eat dinner, my parents cooked some family favorites, like inihaw na bangus and tilapia, biko, and pork sinigang.
After eating, Ate Liezel had lots of stories to tell. She shows also some pictures taken during her stay at Saudi. We also updates her with the events that she missed during the two years that she is out of the country. She also unloads her pasalubongs to the kids and for all of us.
We decided to stay overnight there. At first we are thinking how can we fit in a four bedroom house; but we used to fit in a small house in Malabon, so why not in this house which is a lot bigger.

November 1 - NAIA
November 1, Saturday, It is not only All Saints day, but most especially it is the arrival of Ate Liezel. Ate Cris asked if we can drop by at their house to pick up Kyla. She will close their store by 6pm so she will just go to Imus alone. At around 3pm, we arrived at Parklane, Kyla is already prepared, but Ate changed her mind at the last minute. She also wanted to go with us. I helped her close the store, and the we go to Imus to drop the kids at my parents house. It is almost 4pm when we arrived at Imus, so we just unload the kids and their things and off we go. It is All Saints day so we are expecting heavy, but we experienced the opposite. The road is clear, and the flow of traffic is smooth. Estimated arrival of Ate Liezel is at 6:15 to 6:30 pm. We arrived one hour early at the departure area. Ate and I stayed at the waiting area, while my husband stayed at the car. Ate bought snack from Jollibee, I called my husband to go to the area, but he rather stay their to watch over the car, because the door alarm is malfunctioning. He asked if I can just bring him the snack. Ate bought hot sandwich and fries for all of us, for my husband he does not drinking softdrinks so she bought pineapple juice for him.
At around 6:30pm, the arrival of the plane from Riyahd was announced. We are very excited, my husband texted me that he received a message from Ate Liezel that she just get off the plane. We waited for another 30 minutes but Ate Liezel still not in the area. Two more planes arrived, which is from Sydney and Hongkong. Maybe Ate Liezel is still at the immigration area.
After few minutes, at last we saw her. We shouted at her and she saw us. We hug and kiss each other. Two years is a long time. Then we asked her if she wanted to have a dinner. She had dinner in the plane so we choice to go directly to Imus where our family members are waiting for her.

October 31 - Honesty Award
October 31, Friday 8am, Honesty award for the last quarter. Our company acknowledges honest employee who returns valuable property of co-employees. I am one of them. I found a cellphone at ladies CR. It is already outgoing that time, but I and my husband decided to extend a few hours at work. We will have our break then, when I told him that I need to go to the ladies room and asked him to wait for me in the cafeteria.
When I entered the cubicle, I will put my cellphone in the small glass mounted on the wall. I saw another cellphone there. I am alone in the CR, so I decided to wait for the owner but after few minutes of waiting, no one shows up. My husband is already texting on what is taking me too long. So I decided to go to the security office to surrender the cellphone. There they asked for my name and the location where I found the item.
And that is the story behind of my honesty award.
