In Sync ("A Mom-Pop Close By" Saga) - Part 1

TS Haiyan brought my Mom and Pop in close proximity with my family.
They're now permanently residing here in Ormoc(temporarily staying in a pad close by),also running an optical business,just right across mine.
Hehehe.

The purpose of this journal is to note down milestones of another chapter of our lives.
That is...

 THEIR shift of locality and the unforeseen modification of MY perspectives.

Fate brought them here just in time when I get trapped in terrible anxiety.
They helped me out, rally round...
They facilitate my doings, helped me think optimistically.
They are the coolest parents,
And I will be forever grateful.

Here are some alterations and modifications to our lives now that they're here !
1.) Having a safe hideout during no-companion hours.
2.) Free food almost always. I contribute every so often of course.
3.) Greater probability of saving than splurging. Lunches!
4.)  Batch cooking now conceivable.
5.) Feasible CashCans.
6.) "Hike and stride" daily brisk walking exercise is now doable!
7.) An unflagging shopping mate! I am referring to Mama!
8.) Constant companions during stick out months

I am one lucky creature ;-)

Formulating my #PlannerDoUp Project

Chow Calendar comes first.

Meal planning is quite fiddly.

If you dont jot down,you get bamboozled.

Batch cook and batch buy to avoid steep grocery slips.

This Alphabet Stamp set is perfect for my weekly themed leaf.I am actually planning to create columns per day,say TD( To Do) and TP (To Pay/Buy) to categorize the jottings.

OC hahaha.

First time to try a weekly-themed Planner Do Up using papertapes.

This week's theme:

Zealous cat

;-)

My Chi chi planner has Monthly open date sections.

They are now my To Pay sheets,embellished to my heart's content! 

First Instagram Dosh!

Papertapes and a Diary Stamp Set...

Cool,right?!

DON'T Do List > Jan-Feb '14

Don't Do List Kick Off! No biggie, but naively made this up for self-reinvigoration.(I'm cynic,remember?!)
And so,the first phase of my #MintYearVow is to block off these unconstructiveness:

1.) Overeating.Because I should try the "Mindful Eating" tactic.I have to!
2.) Overthinking.I am crazy.>>Overkill.
3.) Extreme Mobile(and internet) use.
4.) Messy handwriting>>For stress-free scheduling,squiggles should be in shipshape.
5.) Dirty journal/jotter page/s.It is easier to delegate when the leaf is dirt-free.
6.) Mom-Dot unnecessary scholastic demands.Because I now want to be a cool mom.

Wishlist V1.29

After a stunted pause,I am finally back to journaling.

Am I ill?
Yes.
I am not thoroughly well,but I want to write.
You see,I am a victim of self-perpetrated glumness.
Trifling fears keep coming back,I repetitively frighten myself.

Of what?

Will expound next time.

-o00o-

Meanwhile,here's the 1st January-February WishList for my loves:

Dot:
1.) Astounding tyke ratings.Moms are quite nervy after a quartile eval.
2.) Banish her picky-eating tactics.
3.) May she be crazy about the "bento" chews I am secretly cooking up!

Me:
1.) Be able to start buying stuff  (a bento-like fix up) for dot's snacks.
2.) Discontinue pessimism and unconstructiveness to self.

Now trying to be buoyant!
:-)

The Yule After Haiyan ....Year 2013 #LatePost

Christmas and New Year sans power is quite thought-provoking.You know,pooling ideas how to celebrate these weighty feasts,making them multihued and meaningful after a very strong storm is indeed taxing.

And since the whole city's dim, we checked in at Hotel Don Felipe during those festive days.

Our goings-on at the hotel.

Just clear-cut merriment with the nearest and dearest.

My folks are now residing in Ormoc!

Hurray for solace!

                                     
                                                   Shady,rainy and inaudible Christmas Eve.
                                                           Street lights over plaza and pier...
                                                                  Homestead,zero.

Cable tv breakoff.

   So we brought along the dvd set...

    Because the staff said A-ok.

The morning after.

Appended our slacking selves in bed. 

The tiny ref at HDF.

Like.

Crafting #1 with dot.

Emblem envelopes

My Mint Year post to friends and family.

Doodled it!

Watch and construct.

Multi-tasking!

The Happy New Year stance of ze folks.

hehe

Fruits for healthiness.

The only nutriment for NYD.

lol

Artistry in bed.

A dot and mom pastime.

Lamps and a youngster flick.

Mom's eye clinic jump off happened on Christmas Day!

So after we checked out @ HDF,we went straight to A-mall for some Fengshui rub in.

Did a serious jotting in the jotter.

Because it's 2014.

Ok.

The delectable kangkong at HDF.

Appetizing!

Also their Crispy Pata and Sizzling Squid!

Overall, it was a momentous time off.

Enjoy 2014!
