wacky..

2L3B’s are currently facing a major dilemma but despite of the current situation, here we are, still wacky as ever… That’s how we handle our life as a family.. We tend to smile in every afflictions, laugh at any defeat and strive harder together in order to overcome whatever failures or trials we faced. And yes, we always work hard to find the solution… hand in hand condoning every trials given to us..

Anyway, I am mighty glad because each of us is gifted with enough humor and tolerance. With this gift, you can best describe us as a ‘happy bunch’. We do not let any extraneous variables ruin us.


2L3B's is just a simple ordinary family facing common problems; sharing various degrees of ineptness, shortcomings and differences, yet we always stays together in facing life as it is.. Every end of the day, we tend to understand and tried to end up embracing each others’ faults and mistakes.. Nobody’s perfect and we specifically relate that to each one of us..

Sibling rivalry has been one of the causes of friction especially for children with similar gender born one after the other. Our first born son who’s just a year ahead his younger brother both had experienced this kind of rivalry. To overcome, we used to buy them similar outfits, similar toys when they were small; send them to similar schools and colleges and we provide them with the same degree of love, care and affection. It works.. And when our youngest daughter came four years after, we tried harder not to make the little boys felt neglected.

But as you can see, there will always some friction among siblings even if you tried hard enough.. It is not unusual for siblings to have this so-called personality differences which is familiar even between husband and wife, or between friends... Anyway, because of unconditional love, humor, tolerance and believing in God above, no amount of upheavals can let us down.

And yes, despite of all the uncertainty we are facing right now, we still have enough fun and laughter to last our lifetime...



That is pa's photo above, taken last Monday during our leisure stroll in Dongmen Beilu.. He's highly talented; an instrumentalist, businessman, musical composer, performing artist and the best husband and father in the world but look at that! gee, he’s weird..



That's our eldest, consider him as our technician and handyman.. He is a graduate of Hotel and Restaurant Management yet he excels better with computers and similar stuff. Believe it or not, he dismantled his PSP to tiny bits and pieces while we were in Pizza Hut… and few minutes later, he re-assembled the poor thing and viola..! The PSP works better than before.. I just can’t imagine how he did that and why..?



There's our second son who is a Business Management graduate yet decided to become a performing artist instead rather than work in the hotel that's hiring him.. Now he’s into photography as a hobby and look who’s his chosen subject… no other than… “ME”



And below is our little girl, (but don’t call her that or she’ll not talk to you again..) She feels she’s already an adult.. but look, this photo was taken right after her tantrums before our meal. Does adult cried over pizza..?? hehehe




Do you believe me now..? Tell me, who’s wackier than the "wackiest bunch”..?



hugs from wacky mom and wife,

Hi again from Germany! Just keep on smiling and keeping the humor in your lives, sometimes it is THE only way for any of us to make it through all the hard times that we go through as families. We can be pretty whacky too, and I am sure alot of these staid and very serious germans must think odd things about me. But I like to laugh, and it is what keeps us young. And it has saved my sanity in many a difficult situation. I am glad to hear that there are other families out there like mine. Have a good weekend. Nice post, by the way. Deborah

Bonnie said...

Hi Loida!

It looks like you have a wonderful happy family! That is great. I wanted to let you know that there are 7 seasons of the Gilmore Girls. All great!

Have a great weekend!
Hugs,

Bonnie

You have a lovely family. I admire how you make sure that you give equal love and attention to all your children.

That's what sets pinoy apart from other nationalities. We cope with problems like its just a joke. We can even carry a smile or a laugh in times of disaster.

As for your children. Sibling rivalry is common in a family. I'm a middle child in a brood of three, guess how many rivals do I have. But it will pass. We take care of each other, especially now.

Hello! You have a wonderful family! Sibling rivalry is there no matter what we do to avoid it. My brothers and sisters still say "Mom always liked me best" to each other in fun.

2L3B's

Gotcha covered on "Playing With Pizza" (don't get too excited, it just the paperback...sorry;=()

No worries on sending the book to China. It can't be that much. We have grown kiddos in London and Wales and send international all of the time. We are in the process of moving, as you know by my blog. I think I have the hardbacks to the 2 other Grisham books that you want to read as well. Give me a little time and I'll get them off to you as well.

Take care and speak soon.
