15 April - May 15 2020
April 15 - We are still on ECQ/Lockdown until May 15, 2020.
For about a month, everyone is just trying to survive and getting used to being grounded at home. Kids and Senior Citizens aren't allowed to leave the house because they're the most susceptible. Bills are put on hold because field agents aren't allowed to visit homes to check meters and such.
But life goes on. What did we all do during this time???

Happy birthday Dana!!
We didn't really have the finances to give you a proper birthday feast but thank God for your Lolo Ben and Lynne who dropped by with a few treats :)
Thank you for your understanding and we will make it up to you when circumstances are better :) You know that!
We love you!!

I spoke too soon... I didn't think it could happen in my lifetime but Taal Volcano just erupted! So surreal!!

Christmas Day - There's certainly cause for celebration in our family during this Holiday season. We have all just been through hell and back and everyone just deserves a breather :)
We're all together, all healthy and have gotten a bit of rest. The kids are at home because of Christmas break and we're just enjoying each other's company,
This is the true meaning of Christmas - Togetherness and Family Love..

Today was Dylan's Year-End Party. At first, we weren't sure if we were able to attend because we had to think about Patrick's state at home. But, for the same reason that we made time for Dana, we also needed to make time for Dylan.
So, we headed to his school for their Year-End party. Dylan had fun! There were fun games, delicious food and amazing prizes. :)
It was worth making time for him and see him socializing and enjoying himself with his classmates :)

Today marked Dana's 2Q Convocation in school. It's the day where Honor students are presented with their respective awards and I'm proud to say that again, Dana made the cut :)
Congratulations Dana! We're all so proud of you!

Today marked Patrick's almost month-long stay in the UST Hospital due to a Stroke. I'll try to make it short and focus on things that will help you realize what symptoms he had, what treatments did he undergo and how to move on after being released from the hospital.
I wrote this a long time after everything happened because while everything was happening, I was just in a state of shock and was just focused on being there for him and the kids. It's hard to think of anything else, actually. But for purposes of chronology, I'll keep the date from when it began.
I hope that some of the information here helps because as I understand it from what his doctors said, there are now plenty of cases of middle-aged males that have strokes.
We all should stay healthy, watch what we eat, exercise as much as we can because getting sick is not an option.

To avail of such benefits, we went to a special registration event and here's what transpired.\

Here we are at Samgyeop Masarap in SM San Lazaro to partake of their delicious all-you-can-eat samgyeopsal (samgyupsal) or Korean grilled pork belly.
Needless to say, our own bellies were full at the end of the meal :)
