How are you doing?

Exhausted but grateful for the opportunity to be working at home safe. And knowing that my son is studying at home safe. Although the online home school has an impact on him coz he prefers physical interaction and face-to-face learning at school.

Our weekdays are chaotic. Thanks to neighbors who cook food and sell at an affordable price with free delivery to our house.

My weekends are spent cleaning the mess but I still insert work in between.

Right now, I'm seating here planning/thinking for a food to prepare and cook that we can just re-heat over the weekdays.

How are you doing?

Thank you for my productivity

Yesterday, woke up early and only had 4 hours of sleep. Then had a back-to-back video call meeting the whole day. And... Work... Work... Didn't get a chance for a short nap in the afternoon as planned. In the evening, I relied on coffee to keep me awake. Wrong move... because the second cup made me more sleepy.

Coffee gave up on me...

Still tried to keep myself awake and finish urgent work.

Wrap the day at 11PM.

Today, woke up at 5 and was able to do meditation, do yoga, and sweep the house. Prepared breakfast and then went back to my desk for another day of work.

Tiring but grateful.
Thank you for my productivity.
Thank you for the blessings.

Disposable Face Mask & Mask Storage Box

Since wearing face masks is required in going out now to protect us from the virus, I bought a box of disposable face masks on Shopee. I also bought a storage box to securely store extra face masks that we will be bringing in our bag.

I initially thought I both a good deal of these 2 boxes of face masks. However, a week when after these items arrive I saw a lot of cheaper face masks sold in Shopee and even in our neighborhood. What bummmer!

Review...

The face mask is indeed 3 layers. It's breathable and doesn't have any industrial smell. The items were shipped immediately, I ordered on June 4 and I received them on June 13.

The storage box is clean and in good condition, with no scratches. I opted for this small one so it can fit on a small bag. It can fit 3 folded masks but I usually put 2 folded face masks in it.

Here are the details of my Shopee order:

Happy Mother's day!

Happy Mother's day to all fella mommies out there! 🌹

Today I woke up to a breakfast in bed prepared by my son! He cooked me a pancake that he made on his own from the recipe that he research online. 😍

Now I know why I am banned from entering his room a few days ago because he was working on these artworks that he gifted me.
So he explained each of his gifts...

Mothers day greeting card with the tree of love and sunrise.

Flower pot room decor coz he couldn't give real flowers. So he made much effort to make it look realistic. (He said because of this artwork, his now excited to do painting and arts again.

)

Green message card because I love nature.

And money, because he can't go out to buy me flowers so gave me the money instead. And that money, he earned from mopping the floors and cleaning the house this summer.
He also added, "Someday mom, ill give you money to help pay the bills. But for now, I'll give you this lang muna."

Such a talented, sweet and thoughtful kiddo!

I'm one proud mama!

I didn't miss the chance to also make the women in my life feel special this Mother's day...

I initially plan to have everything ordered and then have them delivered via Streetby On-Demand Services... However, I just realized it has been almost 2 months I haven't seen these 3 mommies, that has been my core support, because of the pandemic. So I booked a taxi and decided to surprise them with a gift and have a glimpse of them.

I tag along with Justine because he begged to see his grandma, whom he missed so much.

Didn't get the chance to take a picture of Risa because her sister pick-up the gift instead but I was able to see a glimpse of her and she waved at us through the window. It's literally a glimpse because her house is on the 5th floor.

I almost thought that we will skip bestie Dee's surprise because no visitors were allowed in their subdivision and it took her long to answer my call. (The epic thrill of surprises. 😅) Good thing Justine was with me because he has a contact number of Wawa (Dee's niece). Whew! 😅
