Thanksgiving 2011

It's been a tradition that my dad would be here every year during Thanksgiving. Unfortunately, I'm working this Thursday and Friday. So I would be on the sidelines for this years Black Friday Sale.



We were at Best Buy four days before the big sale and yet, people are all lined up already. Seriously lined up in tents with packed meals in this freezing weather....just to get doorbusters items.


We still went and bought not wanting to let items on sale just go to waste hehehe!

bye cast

We're both glad that it's over. The x-ray findings showed that the bone growth turned out ok. And her arm is back to normal.

After weeks of having the cast on, we're not worried that they might do surgery. Hopefully this
would be the last.

Would there be a 4th?

I'm not saying that he shouldn't win. We may not be boxing analysts, but it sure seem that Pacman did have a hard time with Marquez. Would Mayweather see this as an oportunity or shy again and talk trash how puny and weak our Pacman is.



Again we support Manny all the way (there goes our $65 for PPV). Let's do a fourth match. And maybe, just maybe, people would be convinced.

11-11-11

One of those days that are special? Activities? Nope. Event? Nope. Happenings? Nope. So what's special then?

And we thought.....

After a week of wearing the elastic bandage Happy got a cast in place yesterday.



Back in the day in PI, we had to do our casts the old fashion way with plaster of Paris--yup those white things. And if u know what i'm talking about, you'd know that it takes forever to harden. Here it's different. Casts are made of fiberglass that you dip in water, mold and dries for a good 2-3 mins. And it even come in different colors too! We chose red since I have an idea how we'd make it look when we get home *wink*



Soon as we got home, right after she stepped out the van, she's all over the place again. Mind you, this is a little girl that has a fracture on her right distal humerus. She even banged the cast on the floor and said "look mommy, tok-tok", as if nothing's wrong.



Thank God she's young and will heal fast on it's own.

if only

I did play a lot as a kid. But never have I once been through anything serious. Maybe the occasional fever or so. And as a kid, I never really realize how parents worry about stuff that we do now that i am actually one myself.

Rady's Childeren's Hospital

Happy was the same. She played a lot and was all over the place-- just like any other kid her age. It never really came to me that she might get into anything that will make us worry. Until yesterday, when she fell from the couch.

She cried... Shrill cry and scream that sounded different until she fell asleep. She woke up an hour later and still the same. That's when we noticed that her right arm was swollen. We immediately went to Rady's Hospital.



After a few x-rays later, we found out that she sustained fracture on her humerus (funny bone).

I could just imagine how much pain she had to go through. It's unbearable to see a small child who's not supposed to be in this predicament. She's should be playing with her toys and running around. I then realize the things my own parents had gone through when i was a kid.



If only I could take the fracture away or give her my good arm i would in a heartbeat. After seeing all those movies about parents saying they'd rather be them than their kid, is making all sense now. I really wish it was me rather than Happy.

If only I could.
