A Writer In Disguise

I never thought I would love writing as much as I do now. When I was still in college, I dreaded writing assignments. My grammar is not so good, ah wrong, it is so bad. I wish had known some writing services then for my papers. I actually failed my first writing subject. In college, we have to take COM2 or Communication 2. A subject where in the focus is writing and researching. I failed it the first time I took it. I wish I had known where I can find custom papers. They would cater for my writing needs and they can create a paper for me that is suitable for my topics then.

Seriously, a little writing services, would have been very helpful to me. At least I will have an idea then on what I can write and how to write it. Oh well, it’s all behind me now. Now, I won’t be needing that kind of service, I think I will be the one offering it. I am so in love with writing now. I never thought that this is what I will be doing after college. When I start to type in words, I cannot stop. I just need some help from https://searchenginereports.net/grammar-checker/ to check the grammar of the articles I write.

Mommy Moments: The List

I missed a lot of memes last season. I was busy, yadda yadda. Theme for this week is New Year’s list. I already got my list last Monday but good thing we have this theme for Mommy Moments. I think I still need to add more. This is he summary of what I got last Monday:

Spend more time with the kids and less on my blogs.
Update my blogs regularly. I maintain 8 blogs and post two articles per week on 6 and everyday on 2 (Make or Break & Camerasexy).
Better time management so I can do 1 and 2.
Be slimmer!! I want a waistline of 25..haha

And now I am adding this:

Learn how to bake! ASAP. Impromptu.
Prepare healthier meryendas for kids, like cookies etc, which can only happen if I do no 1.
Reunite with crafts and art works. Since I started blogging seriously, I haven’t done any single art work.. except for GIMP related arts (headers I mean). I hope I can make an alphabet in canvas and have it framed. I want to draw and paint alphabet and put it as a center piece in our wall. Better than ordinary paintings. It will be beneficial for the kids.

And for my kids, my goal is simple:

For the older boys, for them to learn how to socialize more. Mico still shows some separation anxiety and I do hope we would conquer it soon.
For Chico, we want him gain more weight. That’s all. And oh for him to call me Mommy. He never said Mommy when I am around. He is too confident that I would come to his side even if he wouldn’t call me. But they say when I am not around, he calls Mommy.
For Sati, we’re contented on what she is right now.
And for all of them, my goal is to provide happier and loving environment as I can.

Chico’s Hospital Adventure

It was dinner time. Monday night. As usual, me and hubby would eat first and the helpers will feed my the kids. The other one feeding the boys and the other one, carrying Sati. Chico sits with us at times. After I am done, I took Sati and changed her diaper, hubby goes out to smoke and the helpers and my sister ate their dinner. It so happens that Chico likes to climb on the chair and pretend he is eating too. And so so, while I was busy changing Sati, Chico fell on the chair!

Hubby who has low tolerance to such things, started shouting, er, screaming, on how we were not able to prevent it. Chico on the other hand got a bump on the back of his head. After a minute or two, he started vomiting. That causes an alarm to us and so without much ado and without changing our clothes or carrying anything but a fare to the hospital, we rushed him. They say that when somebody got a bump on his head, they should not be allowed to sleep. Chico was so sleepy and we have to keep him awake. It was the longest travel in my whole life.

It was only a 5 minute drive from our house to the nearest hospital. During that moment, I thought it took us forever. Wild and scary thoughts keeps popping in my head. Chico keeps on vomiting too. And while the tricycle driver speeds off, in my mind I was cursing Ondoy, the insurance company because we still don’t have our car. if we only had ours, we would have been in the hospital in a flash. I was really worried, no, SCARED. I was scared for myself because I don’t what is install for me if ever something bad happen to my Chico.

And just like every hospital, instead of making you feel safe, they only worsen your worries. Upon arrival we were asked what happened and was told that Chico needs to be x rayed. So we went to their laboratory who told us we need to PAY FIRST before they x ray my kid. And just like the usual emergency situations, we don’t have any cash with us. Hubby has to call back home and wait for the cash. Haaay.. The doctor attending us, talked to us again and so so. Apparently, he recommends that we have Chico be examined through CTScan, which they don’t have. We have to brought him to Medical City, the nearest hospital that has CTScan. Goodness that hubby was able to contact a friend to drive us there (thanks a lot Les).

Medical City, an hour after Chico fell. While the nurse asked some details Chico threw up again, the 6th times since he fell. We were brought to a room then a general practitioner attended to us. After some Q&As he said he will refer us to a Pediatrician. After 30 minutes or more, a Pedia came to us and says that he needs t be xrayed. Another 30 minutes before he came back. This is what I hate at Medical City, patients are overflowing, their are UNDERSTAFF! So we came in around 10 PM and got out of the hospital at 1 Am. The only consolation is that Chico did not have any complication or internal bleeding from the fall.. hayy.. and we did not have to stay 24 hours in the hospital.

I hate Hospitals.
