Shuffling

Hi all!  I am currently shuffling between my two blogs. in Monique Zamora dot Net and here.
You can catch more of me and my own antics and rants there, here it would mostly be of Andy and pieces of me. :)

Thanks for reading and following! Drop me a note or comment so I can exchange links.

Moments with Andy

As I have said before, I always look forward to weekend here.  It means, I get to sleep later than usual. I go to church (on Fridays) which by the way, I have done straight now for a month, thank you!  And then I get to chat with my little angel at home.




Nice right? Of course, at times I go out to some malls. Yeah, it actually is very limited to malls for me. I cannot afford to really splurge on going out. And I don't have that big a friend-base here to roam around the emirate or the country. I have gone to Abu Dhabi twice. The second time was better, because I had a chance to go up to one of the highest point (of the building) there.


Anyway, I wanted to share one of the most precious moments I had with Andy yesterday.  They were having dinner with me at the background, listening and watching them from afar (like thousands of miles away!).  They were having their usual dinner table conversation, when suddenly I didn't quite catch the whole stream, when I heard my name mentioned by my baby.  And then I had to have it repeated... she said, "yehey malapit na Christmas pagkatapos ng Christmas, uwi na si mommy!"


Isn't it just the sweetest?

Prayer

When I called mama yesterday I was surprised to hear her sounding very sick.  Well, it is kinda wet back home.  Being in the tropical region, you just get wet and wetter season.  This time of the year, it rains a lot. So getting colds is fairly common.  As with mama, she still goes to work so she's a bit susceptible to getting whatever virus and sometimes her system is down.  Anyway, so she was sick, so I asked if she took the time off and rest, that was what I would have done.  She didn't.  Why wasn't I surprised?  And when I asked why, well, she didn't want to stay home because Andy might get infected too.

Oh. That's really sweet.  Really.  Andy, being her, was too hard headed to listen to mama.  She'd taunt you about whatever you ask her not to do, she'll completely do the opposite.  Even when I called and told her not to go near mama, she threw the phone and said she will. Haaay.

Tonight though, when I had a chance to talk to mama, I heard a better/ cuter story.  When they slept yesterday, mama didn't sleep on her bed (with the baby) and stayed on the other room.  This got Andy worried.  She practically prayed like this, "Lord, pagalingin mo na ubo ni mama, pati sipon para tabi na kami uli"  and kept telling mama, I love you until she slept.

Well, prayers of kids are powerful. Mama's well. And andy learned the value of prayer. Thank you Lord!
