Super Ferry

How many of us will ride SuperFerry from the provinces to Manila? Do you know which port you will fetch one of your family? I think no, not even those people from the province know. Unless, you are a frequent passenger on the ship.

This happened to us 5 days ago. We were informed to fetch MIL and SIL at the Manila Port Area. Which port/pier? That's the question that pop into my mind. There are a lot of piers in Manila. Good thing, my BIL is online and I asked him what vessel are they on board? He answered it's SuperFerry 1 and the TOA is 4:30pm. We did not asked further because we know he had no idea about the piers here in Manila.

So, we google SuperFerry and found their official website. As a newbie, I do not know what category to browse. I just read and click. In the menu bar (Orange color) I hover my mouse pointer on Schedule & Rates, then click Voyage Schedules. In voyage schedules, you will see the ship's origin, destination and sailing month. Choose from the drop-down menu of each and click search after.

The result is Pier 15. Since they came from Dumaguete City and destined in Manila for the month of July 2011. You will also read the name of the vessel as what my BIL had told us. My husband went and fetched them at Pier 15.

It's easy and user-friendly. Have a happy trip! :)

I'm Crushed!

I am crushed like an ice splintered into pieces! Since, we don't have internet connection in almost 3 days, I wrote it on a paper. But what happened! Here I am looking at the monitor, wondering if it's right to publish it here. 

Honestly, it bothers me and had given me sleepless nights. It's a deduction from my husbands pay! He was deducted from the water and electricity, my son and I used. It means we are not FREE. The only person who can freely use water, electricity is my husband. He's an employee.

The net pay bothers me more, it's only $19.78 for 15 days. From that amount, I am thinking of my son. Can we handle his needs or how can we sustain his needs? Gosh, I think a lot and there's a little sound of fear in there. My son is growing up and as a baby he has a lot of needs. On the other hand, we can not afford to rent a house because his pay is insufficient. Perhaps, you won't see me online doing this. That leaves me with no choice.

I pray that we both can. Also, I'm hoping, I can find a way to help him augment his income for our baby!

Can't Help Staring at My Baby

When I'm in the room where my baby sleeps in his hammock. I can not help myself from staring at my baby's face. Oh, he looks so adorable and handsome! My heart is swelling with love for my baby. Tears start to get in the way of looking at my son. How I wish my mother is alive and hold him dear. 

How I wish I can hug and hold my baby from time to time. But, your mom is always on the net and I have to leave your room. I have to do it, baby. Because I LOVE YOU SO MUCH. I want the best for you. It doesn't matter if I am going to beg as long as it is for you.

When Baby Had a Fever

Baby had his first fever when he got his second month vaccine. He was almost 2 months, then. His second vaccine is dpt and polio. The center did not warned us and I don't have the knowledge either. The injection area in his leg turned red and began to swell. He started crying and doesn't want me to touch that area. We were advised to put a small cloth wet with lukewarm water over the swelling area. In that way, it will stop the swelling. 

Night time my son's temperature went up to 38celsius. Of course, I feel nervous but did not show it. Good thing we bought Paracetamol Oral drops for his fever in daytime. I gave him 0.3ml as prescribed by a doctor. Then, give a lukewarm sponge on his leg.

The next day, his fever went down but still he keep on crying because of the fever. How it breaks my heart to hear him cry and see him in that situation. He's still a baby. Good thing he's fine within 2 days. 

When fever strikes, I know what to do!
