  January 8 - Sunday is grocery day and since we want to go home early - me and my daughter went to the mall to find sandals and formal bag for the wedding while the boys went to the supermarket. When we were done, we went to the supermarket to meet up with the boys.. so happy that it seems Gerard's cart was not full... but then, I saw that Gavin has his separate shopping cart filled with his favorite snacks! The snacks were neatly organized in the cart. Hay, my kids are really growing up so fast! January 9 – Gavin will have his first field demonstration in two weeks! We are so excited to see his cute costume. Unfortunately we had to return it in school since it is a bit tight on him. Hay, if only we can make him go on a diet! Hahaha!

2022: A look back...

Today is January 3, 2023. A new year for all of us. I am a bit anxious as we start a new year as we don't know what will unfold for all of us this year. But allow me to look back on the events that happened last year - 2022. January - After all the merry making and celebrations of 2021 as the covid restrictions became more relaxed and we experience a bit of normalcy again... there came the surge of Omicron Variant for Covid 19.

This is when we realized that a lot are really sick. They said... oh no... is 2022 - 2020 too again?  February - This was a g...
