This afternoon, my sons are enrolled in the same school but will be taking up different courses.

This evening, Pearl installed Creative PC CAM 750 and also Windows Office in my PC in preparation to my online date with Randy who will celebrate later his 51st birthday on his side, as soon as I login tomorrow morning.

I'm so excited to celebrate Randy's birthday online. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RANDY, with love and devotion from all of us!!!

Meanwhile, I talked with a certain TJ c/o PLDT Hotline 171 regarding high charges on my latest two statements. I had been wanting to send them a complaint email but since I didn't have office program installed in my pc, I kept delaying drafting the complaint.

I terminated already PLDT myDSL since August when I got Bayantel DSL subscription but, to my surprise, they kept charging me with unbelievable charges until to this date, even if I already surrendered their modem and cable!

In spite of supertyphoon "Paeng" (international code name: Cimaron) that slams the Northern part of Luzon, Randy has this special way of surprising me with flowers and chocolates!

As he logged out at 4:31 in the afternoon to go to sleep (they're back on local standard time effective today), in a while, I received a surprise from him! Two dozens deep burgundy long thornless stems rose and Belgian sweets from Islandrose.net had been delivered.

Flowers look better beside my monitor!

I am so lucky to have a thoughtful man like Randy!

Meanwhile, my daughter, Pearl, found a Logitech Premium USB Headset 350 from Cyberzone computer shop. When she comes back, both Randy and I had voice chat again on Skype and we're able to recite the rosary in the evening before I logged out to sleep!

Sweetie Pearl made a good purchase since the headset is SKYPE recommended USB product. Well, it cost Php 2,600.00 only to enjoy supreme comfort and stereo sound with digital clarity.

Pursuant to the Order dated October 18, 2006, allowing me, the petitioner, to present evidence ex-parte, I, through my counsel, testified before the Branch Clerk of Court this afternoon.

We identified documents in support of my Petition. After the completion of my testimony, my counsel asked 15 days within which to submit the written Offer of Evidence.

So far, I'm happy that this will be the last hearing for this year. I paid Php 5,000 for it and also gave my counsel her appearance fee.

Pearl and I did some grocery shopping on our way home and we're saddened that after careful budgeting, I paid too much for the same items we've been buying regularly.

Papa had infection when he got burn from the hot cooking oil while cooking lunch for his sick brother last Tuesday, right after he arrived from the burial of Alex.

Pacette accompanied Papa to have the treatment at Quezon City General Hospital where they prescribed him antibiotics, cleaning solution, and burn ointment, similar to what daughter have.

They dropped by here at home to visit Pearl and see the extent of her burn on her left arm since after the incident in the evening of Sept 28th at the St Peter's Funeral Home, she was not seen at the vigil nor at the burial. Pain and itchiness caused daughter sleepless nights but she's thankful she got the thermos from my mother before the accident took place. Otherwise, it would had been mama who is aching by now...

I accompanied Sweetie this morning to St. Luke's Medical Arts for follow-up check up of her burnt skin.

Exposure to the above warm light relieved her from further itchiness. She was given another tablet, C30, to fascilitate healing process plus additonal Augmentin, C10, Potassium Permangenate (potperm) cleaning solution, and 22 g. Mupirocin ointment. The bill was Php 3,200!

Her next appointment will be next Wednesday.

Egay and his family picked us up early this morning. We bought some juices and medicine for Ericson's stomach upset on our way to St. Peter's Funeral Home.

We arrived there at Room F at 8 am this morning. Rev. Fr. Oscar Avelino held the mass. Alex's Room was in order and the kitchen had been cleaned up earlier. When the mass ended, Rev. Fr. Avelino blessed Alex and family members had been all very emotional.

At Forest Park Memorial, my brother's family were all in tears and very emotional. In our hearts, it's hard to accept Alex is gone and this will be the last time we're going to look at her angelic face.

More family members, friends, and relatives on both sides kept coming to pay last respect for Alex.

Alexandra was buried at 10:30 am.

I'd like to thank Randy for his generosity and full support to my family.

Meanwhile, Randy had root implant and was unable to sleep until past 10 this evening Manila time due to severe pain. He's supposed to go to bed at 12 MN San Diego time (3 pm Manila time) but, he reamained awake until I had fallen asleep while chatting with him.

Randy posted also some news from Save the Children. Please check them out!
