What a trip to HOUSTON!!!
Note: Just got back from Bryan,TX. tonight. Nakatulog na ako kanina, nagising lang dahil sa thunderstorm…thought to update my blog. Here’s the first part:
My Mana Nene good friend RINA who lives in Sugar Land, Houston. With her kind hubby Steve picked Me and Bianca Ann last wednesday night (15 March) from my MIL house in Austin. I was so excited to see her. I did met her once in Calbayog a few years ago, my sissy introduce us- but Rina hardly remember me-pangit pa kasi ako noon eh! joke lang! ha!ha!ha!. I have a high regard for her that I thought she was taller than me. When she got off from her SUV to meet me and give her a hug…I realize we are same heights he!he!he!
We did chit-chat for a few minutes to introduce them to my hubby and MIL then start loading up my baggage. As soon the SUV move heading towards Houston…Yakitak started and my smart Bianca Ann told Mommy to be quiet she is sleeping> We all cracked up! She got it from me.
Rina brought me a pillow and blanket–she was hoping I will take nap on our way to Houston because as she said we will be up all night soon we get on her house. Nah I was too excited and cant wait to talk 
We were chatting and giggling the whole time na di namin napansin kung gaano kalayo ang Austin to Houston drive. Bianca Ann was out and did not even wake up when I put her on our fancy "european bedroom." I cant wait to describe Rina’s house…
Got in Rina’s impressive fancy-nice-well-decorated house (hope di masyadong OA ang description ko) @ 10 pm. I was so amazed with the man-made lagoon or lake of Chelsea HArbour neighborhood. Ang laki halos every house (300 houses) got an access to the water and fountain sa gitna ng tubig. Bianca Ann call it OCEAN!!!
Rina cooked a nilagang pork for us…it was so good! While enjoying the sabaw, we called Calbayog. Rina asked her sis-in-law to call my sis Mana Nene to come at their house for a surprise call from ME. Rina talk to Mana Nene first then hand the phone to me— wala siyang kaalam-alam na she was talking to her younger sister. Dal-dal lang siya nang dal-dal akala niya si Rina pa ang kausap niya - I was holding my laughter then na notice niya ang boses ko. She asked if this is Jessica? kako uhum…told her kayakbot niya. She just laughed hard—her signature laughter so does mine- Keep asking if I am with Rina in Houston and how long i have been there. SHe was so excited and happy that at last Me and Rina meet in TX,and able to spend time at Rina’s place.
We did use all 4 Super Phils. phone card that Rina bought. $10.00 each with more than 200 talking mins. The phone got warm in my ear, both hand got sore in trying to hold the phone on my ear. We did stayed up very late and went to bed at 6 am. Bianca Ann woke me up…keep telling me how nice and how much she liked our european bedroom!!!
# PS: got more chika about rina’s house and the places she where she took us.!! sunod na lang kay 2 am na deri! till next!!

r u still in houston ba? sayang naman. we’re all sick talaga. hubby got 2 days off from work and we spent all weekend at home tulog permi. kapoy kaau akong lawas and this cough is just killing me. sakit akong throat. my voice sounds weird. Aiden is coughing and has runny nose. murag wala na syay fever but i think the fever was due to teething. c AJ naman coughing nalang pod kay sya man nauna sa amoa. we went to the pediatrician last thursday kay ang fever ni Aiden is 100.1 and the dr said we got colds and just let it run its course daw which is for about 2weeks more or less kono! looy kaau akong baby naghilak ko. anyway, sa pagkakaalam ko ang mga taga sugarland ay mayayaman. the houses there are pretty and big talaga. ask ur friend if she knows Abigail Berteen. sikat man daw to sya dnha sa sugarland. she has a big house din. i’ve been there 2x before. cge talk to u later. take care and enjoy ur vacation. oi before i forget, kung nasa houston kapa, bring bianca to the children’s museum. may studio cla para sa mga bata to sing karaoke(for kids lang) and they show the kids on their tv sets sa loob ng studio lang. really cute. AJ had a blast in there.

Ako din inggit din. I’ve been wanting to take a vacation but never been able to. We plan on going to Orlando but one year already passed and we’ve never visited even one theme park in Disneyworld. Kainis!

Rissa: Sorry to hear about you all not feeling good.Sana ay gumaling na kayong lahat!!! Mahirap talagang magkasakit ang mga bata when they are months olds— yeah I guess Aiden is teething. I just spend 3 nights sa Houston. My friend just been there on that place for a year now–she got much friend sa neighbor niya.
Arlene: Nagkata-on lang (am so thankful) na somebody is willing to drive me around Houston/TX. Kahit papaano I had fun..pero ang hirap talaga ng may bitbit kang bata- sakit akong shoulder kapoy oi— tell you more in my next entry
Ice: dont feel inggit! and be happy (wag sisimangot kasi baka pumangit ka- ha!ha!ha!ha!)soon you will be able to go for a vacation. I am sure you will one day-GODWILLING!!!
