Vacation...vacation?

We miss daddy and rica

They were not feeling ok but they still manage a smile for a photo

Tired kids

Mom's first time to ride a ferry.. my son too...

At the NAIA 3

Just last week, me and my son went to Hongkong together with my mom my nieces and my mom's cousin. It was actually my mom's birthday celebration in Disneyland for the kids and the kids at heart. Hubby and my Rica wasn't able to come with us since he has work and can't go on leave for a couple of days. It was supposed to be a grand vacation for us, unfortunately, my son, who I believed to be used to travels since he's been travelling since he was 1 year old, now seems to be his first time travelling. He's been vomitting since our day 2. On our first day, it was ok. There were no signs of fever, and I actually was surprised that his cough and colds were all gone since we step foot on hongkong even if the weather is quite cold. And i brought "baon" (which is porkchop with rice) because I know my son will not eat much. Thats my problem everytime we travel. Anyway, he had a very nice appetite and I keep wishing within myself that he'l be eating this much during our stay... And so, off to harbor city we go after our good lunch in the hotel..ooopsss with our baon....hahahaha.. Well, anyway, on the 2nd day, we were suppose to join the city tour. To my surprise, my son has been vomitting 2 times already since he woke up. It got me worried because I know in hongkong there have been a lot of health advisory. And a lot of suspicious thinking roll over my mind. I just made myself calm by merely thinking that it was just because of an upset tummy due to the very cold weather. So I made a warm milk and asked him to drink to make him feel better. I don't want to ruin this vacation for the kids. And the vomit followed one after the other. everytime he drinks water he vomits..Ohh my... too worried that I almost call my friend janice to ask what's the better thing to do... In hongkong, it's ur feet that you would always use as ur means of transportation.. And my sick son doesn't want to walk anymore... All he wants is for me to carry him, ALL DAY!!! I got no choice this time. I don't want to bring him to the hotel while his cousins are freely going to malls and sightseeing. So I carried him with my very tired knees. Too sweet of him that he kisses me from time to time if he feels I'm tired already and even fixes my hair if the wind blows it off. So,my tired and sore muscles are fading. I know he dosn't want me to be this tired, but he can't really walk because he is loosing his energy because of vomitting. But when we went to toy's r Us..He suddenly became better.. Ohh kids will always be kids.... But stil he doesn't want to eat anything... The 3rd day it was his cousin's turn to vomit.. I really don't know what's the reason.. The only thing I can think of is stress.. It was our day for Disneyland and my mom's birthday celebration so we went to a restaurant inside the Disneyland but I forgot the name... They serve Dimsum... Chinese food.. very yummy. They serve sooo nice foods. My son at least liked the deep fried chicken and that was the only time he was able to eat a lot after our porkchop baon. But still we were not that happy because my neice keeps on vomitting just like my son.... Next day, it was my other neice who vomits... What a vacation here... we really can't think of a symptom or cause of their vomit. Just wish that next time... we can have a vacation totally free of worries...

A true "Makabayan"

I'd like to bid farewell to a person whom I didn't meet face to face but somehow painted a smile in my face. To someone whom I didn't meet personally but made a big change in my personal outlook in life. To someone I didn't know by heart but was able to touched me deep in my heart through the songs, or should i say the raps that he made. I'm not an avid fan, I don't watch concerts and I don't buy CDs that much. But songs of him rekindles in my mind and in my heart because it was during his era that I first had an interest in music. It was the year when i was in one of those grade school years. And first had interest in his songs even his dance moves. As far as my memory goes  back, the very first song I learned from his music was "Mga Kababayan." I can sing it by the heart... I memorized every single lines. In some of my projects or school performances, I even use this song for an interpretative writing or dance, or even a school's short play. Goodbye to a true Makabayan Idol.... Goodbye Francis Magalona, thanks for being a good example to the new generation who might have forgotten how to love the country.. All your hardworks are truly remarkable....

Jollibee Stolidity

I've had 2 disappointing experiences in jollibee's delivery hotline 8-7000. First was a couple of months ago when I ordered chicken joy for the kids. We've waited for 2 hours... imagine how many minutes do they promise us customers to wait for the foods to be delivered??? 30 to 45 minutes right? I was very considerate..not just for them but as a person I really am. I believe they need time for preparations and passing thru a delivery system. But for us to wait for 2hrs is not a joke. I keep on calling this 8-7000 for follow up. Not just 5 times. I've talked to a lot of persons in the other end of the line. And they give me one line..."Ma'm please keep ur line open we will contact the branch and ask them to call you for any feedback." OMG! and no not even a single call from their ludicrous branch. I asked them why and they will just answer me with mam' I'll update u in 10 mins.. That stupid 10 mins came 2 hrs and nothing... I was the one who keep on calling them asking for updates because my hungry kids keep on yelling " where's the jollibee mommy?" The result, the branch that was assigned to deliver the foods to us DID NOT recieve any order from the 8-7000... Ok! I can't reconcile with the words they promised me..First, the branch told me that they did not recieve any order from 8-7000 under my name... Second, I made follow thru and the customer service peeps tolds me they will immediately call the branch... If it was true that they did their thing. Calling the branch right after my first follow up, They might have fixed the problem. They might have delivered the foods right away after the first call. Sadly speaking, I did 5 follow thru and on my 5th call that they made a move? The hell with them!!! Lastly, they did not coordinate well enough to the branch and to me. They can simply call me AFTER MY FIRST FOLLOW UP, and say we're sorry for the delay...blah blah...Maybe, I can still reconsider. But knowing the fact that their follow ups did not push thru and just so to say that they made their "spiels" they think is enough??? And the reason why an outburst such as this is because it happened to me AGAIN!!! Just this 5:00 pm. Very same thing happened....I called, no foods were delivered, I made follow up, again they promised for an update, and no call was made, again I made follow up, and nothing happened and the branch claims that again there was no order came to them. Haay! Haller!! Jollibee!!! 8-7000!!! Management!!!! wake up!!!
