Ulog is a day starter...
I can feel the house swaying. My bed is moving. An earthquake is going on! Ohh good heavens forbid it!
I woke with a startled start, a horrible nightmare it is! Thirty minutes earlier than my usual wake up time, I went downstairs and prepare the kids breakfast.
A pasta for breakfast is something they are looking forward to voraciously.
Ulog is for the kids...
With the nightmare half forgotten,I did the light chores of feeding and bathing my kiddos, before I allow them to watch their favorite cartoon movies or nursery rhymes.
With the sun not even halfway yet in the sky,the weather has been so hot that I took off my little Mig's clothes with only the diaper on.
It's true indeed that children has a wide range of imagination. They eventually got tired of watching the cartoons and movies all over again, and were up to something right away.
They got a worry-free, make-believe world of their own.
They started making a mess in their playroom!
Kids are great stress releasers, surely do. Having them around makes me forget the time including the chores that I have to tend to. Lol!
Yet keeping back their toys and tidying up is another story. Broken leg of barbie dolls here, clay stuck on the floor, heaps of puzzles and cooking play toys cluttered everywhere's going to be a tedious task.
Viola! My extra laundry basket proved to be handy. I found a solution of keeping back the toys without doing the extra effort of putting back some lost limbs, filling-in the missing puzzle, and keeping other small toys around.
I felt a tug at my shorts. Almost lunch time! Mig's babbling the word "eat." Oh goodness, the kiddos are surely hungry now. After a brief pizza delivery call, they all came rushing to the table drooling. Hehe...I felt the pang of hunger myself.
Hey look!
Who's so excited to grabbed the first bite?
Surely, with arms stretched, Mig's planning to devour half of it right away.😂😇😅
After the hearty snack, I ushered them up for this noon's siesta. I fervently believe that a nap a day will keep the doctors away.
Ulog is "me" time....
At last! It is now my time to shine. Took a short bath, towelled up and start preparing the kids lunch. They usually have it after the nap.
A nutritious macaroni soup with veggies for them.
And a spicy "bangus paksiw" for me. It is my best viand for my freshly hot cooked rice.
Ulog is for us uloggers!
Of this, I'm pretty sure.
Every new day is something cherishable that I am hanging on. A day for me without ulog is undesirably incomplete. Ulog is something that makes my day whole.
With ULOG i feel almost celebrity-like.
And a huge fan at the same time.
I irresistibly became me.
I compulsively learned to pour out my thoughts through words without any qualms at all.
It feels so good to belong!
