Scorching.
41 degrees C in the car!!!
And so it is official. I do not have that extra time in my hands nowadays.
HAHAHAHA
Once again, I saw, for a full-time mother, that is good news.


Almost the end of April.
All work is done, saved and stashed away. Hard drive cleaned.
The Holy Week was spent in Bacolod. Every 2 years the clan get together in Prudencia, an hour drive away from the city of Bacolod. We get to Bacolod by land. It had been a happy frenzy leading to road trip day.
Although we had been saddened by the passing of our dear Tita Lita in Iloilo, we just had to go on. The number of relatives attending this year had been cut to more than half but it was okay. For the kids, we had to get the show going. They had been anticipating this trip for the past year. And Tita Lita would have insisted that we go.
Left Cebu at 4 in the morning. Boarded the car on the ship to San Carlos City (2 hours trip). By 12 noon we were in Bacolod. And of course, a hearty lunch at Tita Cecile's house.


Lookey lookey, my sister-in-law's bag made of recycled materials. I just love it!!!


This is my pouch. Bought it 2 nights before the trip. That's the new iTouch. The pouch is a Rajo Laurel Rags2Riches. Hand made by the industrious ladies of Payatas, Manila out of recycled fabrics. Fabulous, isn't it? It houses my iPod quite well, actually.

How far and how should you trust your husband? hehehe.
Seriously.
The past years I have heard Joel say,"You could sell that for a good price."
Great!
Not. Especially when the subject of the idea is a newly acquired gadget or what have I.
Attachment issues. Well, more like...I earn whatever I get. Yep, Im talking about money. So why would I wanna sell?
But 2 days ago, Joel spied my ipod. "That would sell for a good price. Why don't you try."
There goes the dreaded suggestion. HAHAHAHA. Give up my music? It's my baby!!!But experiences the past years have taught me one important thing. When Joel says go, I go. He doesn't say go for nothing actually. He thinks things over. Thoroughly. Over and over and over. It would really feel like he's taking forever over one thing. But when he has reached a decision, you can be sure that goes deeper than it seems.
Without batting an eyelash I spread the word around. (Didn't even hold my breath.)



In less than 24 hours, my beloved ipod gets sold and found a new home.
Joel replaces it with this:

Told you I trust him.
Told you it goes deep.
hehehe.

Thanks BOSS.
Totally cool!!!
