My sister came in the afternoon to babysit Athena while I work. :)

We prepared pizza using white bread and corned beef.

bread + tomato sauce + onions, tomatoes, cheese + corned beef = pizza!

In the evening, I made a mango gelato which Athena loved so much. It was so good that I didn't have any time to take a photo of it!

By the way, I forgot to mention in the previous post that my cousin and her daughter who is 2 days older than Athena, paid as a visit last Saturday afternoon. It was nice to have someone to come by at our house from time to time. My hubby bought us ice cream and we spent the afternoon playing with our daughters.

Yesterday was mama and papa's (my grandparents) wedding anniversary. Although papa is not around anymore, we still get together and celebrate.

We went swimming at Ozei Magoo in Linamon. That's about a 30-minute drive from the city of Iligan.

It rained on our way there. Good thing it stopped raining when we arrived at the place, because I was really planning and was too excited to let my 6-month old baby take a swim.

It's really fun to see your daughter enjoy swimming so much!

This was supposedly yesterday's entry. Unfortunately, we lost our internet connection late in afternoon.

An origami mobile!

It was a rainy afternoon and Athena was already taking a nap. I was busy tinkering some stuff when I got an idea for our room decoration. It led me to check out how to create a bird origami. I then discovered that bird and crane origami are different. I also found out some cute butterfly origami which I might try next time.

Later in the evening, we set up our Christmas tree! My baby's first ever Christmas tree courtesy of grandma Irene.

It's quite a lazy afternoon in our new home.

My baby bee is taking her afternoon nap, while I and our house help are browsing the web.

We have finally moved last Friday. We had our internet connection up and running on Saturday where I then spent my days cramming for work until early this morning, and unfortunately I ended up 10 minutes short of my weekly quota. Sad.

Anyway, we still haven't settled everything yet: The air conditioners have just been pressure washed this afternoon and have not been installed yet; It will also take 2-3 days from for our cable connection to be transferred; And, some of our stuff hasn't been arranged and kept yet.

I'll post photos when we will be able to settle everything. :)

I'm a bit furious of the thought that I have to work my ass off for 7 days a week: days and nights. I take care the baby, tidy up the house and prepare food. I have 0 rest day, 0 days with self and 0 social life. I feel like I'm becoming a caveman.

Anyway, I'll still stick to thinking positive amidst this unjustifiable situation.

So here I was, reading old posts just to clear off my mind when I discovered that I just lost an old blog entry.

I'm furious and I feel like crying. I want to shout. I know, there is nothing I can do to ever find it.

It's just so sad. I think it happened while I was revamping this blog.

I accidentally erased a memorabilia. I couldn't even remember whatever happened that day.

So long old entry: My Week Long Vacation 

Whatever happened that day will forever be a mystery to me.
