If it is too soon, maybe you'll consider it for next year. At any rate, with or without this event, you are all awaited eagerly in the Cabotaje household again.

Cough! Cough! Uhuh! Uhuh!

These coughing fits are bothering me a lot. And it's bothering a few other people too, specially Mom. I can't sleep properly, she cant't sleep properly. I think it's bothering co-workers at the office too. Yesterday, a lady offered me Halls candy. I accepted it although I already had Vicks and Cepacol candies. The Halls did not help.

I have had this for three days now. I've been sucking the said Cepacol and Vicks candies the first two days. This morning, I finally bought Robitussin as Mom told me to do. I took the first dose in the office and it helped a bit as I think I did not cough as much. I took the second dose at 4:00pm, also in the office. I am not sure anymore if it is really that effective as I am coughing so much again. Uhuh, uhuh! Mom will probably not allow me to sleep in the bedroom again tonight because of this. She now has three reasons to ban me from the bedroom: this cough, my snoring ( it does not bother me) and the involuntary kicking (this doesn't bother me either).

I think that the cold weather is not helping either. If it's only sleet we get then it is not so bad. (Echoing Ernan Joy here. sorry Ernan for using your joke.)

Enough whining. Out. It's a wrap.

Pauxatawney Phil

Pauxatawney Phil (spelling?) correctly saw what he saw when he saw his shadow on Groundhog Day. Consequently, he correctly predicted what he predicted when he predicted that there will be six more weeks of winter.

I just came back in the office from my daily noontime walk/exercise and it is really cold out there.

Spring, come already!!

New Toy

JBCA have a new toy and they are really enjoying it. It is not a toy that Ethan might enjoy for now but it is one that his Grandpa will, for sure. After dreaming of it for months now, the kids finally got their KARAOKE microphone. It is a little compact thing consisting only of a microphone with built in computer chips with a ton of songs and cable to connect it to TV. I hope they won't get tired of it too soon like little kids do. It is such an investment that it has to be used. It may become annoying after a while but with nice voices (ahem!, toot!, toot!) it won't be too much, I hope. I have not tried it yet myself but I will, and with a nice voice ....( ahem! toot!, toot!). We had it ordered from the Philippines through Mom's cousin who went home (remember an old blog below --no link necessary) to the Philippines. Mom has tried it and WOW!, I did not know she could sing. Actually, this thing was supposed to be my birthday present for her. Her birthday, however, is still far so now I have to think of something else.

BLOG

hi everyone...i didn't think i'd blog today...i thought of being just an observer and read everyone elses blog and comments...but here i am blogging...

i too thought today was going to be a snow...i was disappointed to find out though that it wasn't when mom woke me up @ 5:50am to help them shovel...it's ok...i got a good workout out of that!!

my day was alright...i didn't have to take the bus to school and that's ALWAYS a good thing!! i also recieved my ebay package on friday...i hoped they would re-deliver today...but i guess i have to wait until tomorrow...NIKE Shox, come to momma!!

anyhow...i'm glad the cabotaje's are enjoying their kareoke thingy...i am dreading the weekend when mom and dad will set that thing up EARLY in the morning and start singing their hearts out!! HELP ME!! I NEED SLEEP!!

anyhow...that's all from me...m jan and m joyce...i have VERY good news!! TAADAA!! until next time...keep fit and have fun!!

always,
joanne macloud (or however u spell it)

SNOW

While the other folks write about the snow that hit us overnight, here are some pictures to show it. Top pictures: Views from the family room window. Bottom left: The litttle Christmas tree growing beside the house. Bottom right(tilt your head): That's Albert walking to the car for his trip to school. These pictures were taken this morning.
