We had a bad storm that hit our place last Friday. I checked the weather that morning and I found out we were having a thunderstorm in the afternoon. I still managed to go out and went shopping in Marshall's, Famous Footwear and Target. I even bought more food that we had to bring to the concert. But when hubby came home, He said we wouldn't go since it was nasty outside. I tried calling Evelyn to tell her that we weren't going but I couldn't have the chance to talk to her since they were trying to close the Garden Center quick. I tried to call her few times till me and hubby decided to go out and get Kentucky Fried Chicken. We tried to beat the storm but we failed. After 2 minutes since we left the house, the storm hit on us. We decided to go back. It was scary since we couldn't see anything and the tornado siren was on. We didn't have a tornado but the siren was on because of the wind. It was 90mph. Imagine that. There were hails too that was about the size of the marble. We ran from the garage to our house, it just took us 30 seconds but we were soaked when we got inside the house. It was really bad. Dad called us and he said they didn't have a power and we might gonna have them on that night. We were watching the news and the concert was canceled. The storm just ended up for only 10 minutes and it caused a big damaged in Omaha. Especially on my aunt's area, they didn't have a power for 2 days.
whew, I'm glad the storm was over. It was still unbelievable. Felt like we were just dreaming but we are just glad nobody got hurt.

Two Occasions In A Day
There were two occasions had happened yesterday. The first one was sad. We had to attend Uncle Ned's burial. He was a friend here in Omaha. He was so nice to everybody. In every event before, He was always there. He was one of the officers in the Filipino-American Organization. We found out that He had a lung cancer when we had our first Friday of the month mass. He was telling us how he'd been through from being admitted to the hospital and how he had his radiation went. We could hear how bad his cough was & saw his skin being affected on his illness. Couple weeks after, my aunt left a voice message on my phone saying the Uncle Ned passed away. It was really sad. But the good thing is, He wouldn't suffer anymore & God took away his pain shorter. The gospel of the mass yesterday was so nice. It was about him how He served God all his life. He even had the chance to have the blessing for the sickly people. For me, He is such a lucky guy that He had been prepared on his death. He knew that his death would come soon & he had been preparing himself. I know that He is in heaven and been watching His loved ones on earth. May You rest in peace Uncle Ned.
The second occasion that I had was our 4th year wedding anniversary. Nothing fancy happened. We just went out to watch a movie & dined out after. We made a plan that we wouldn't give any present for each other since we had it in advance and we have to save for our coming trip. Hubby had to work since his co-worker still on vacation. Before hubby went home, I took my friend to our house to get those old clothes from me instead of giving it away to Goodwill. After awhile, I took her to the mall and bought her some stuff. She was having a good time and we're hoping to do it again next time.

Shopping
I've been shopping since yesterday. I went out with Evelyn & Auntie Marisa. We had fun. I found some things that I bought. But mostly it wasn't for me. I only bought 1 item for me. The rest is for hubby and for my mom. I was tired when i got home. Since hubby had to help his brother moving out, I just cooked steamed rice & had kare-kare for dinner. He had Taco John for his dinner. I just woke up when he got home after helping his brother & wished I didn't take a nap because I had troubled to get some sleep later that night. I ended up sleeping for only 5 hours. whew.
I had to work this morning and will have Friday off. I switched my day off this week. I left early since we had to renew our lease in our townhomes. But instead of going to the office, hubby called the office first before going there since he remembered last year, they just had to send the paperwork and we can drop it in the office once we write our signature.
So, instead, we went to Famous Footwear to check out their shoes. I've been looking for a pair of shoes for our trip. duh. For so much shoes I have, I still can't find any of them that I could use it. hehehe. I was glad we went there, I found a pair of shoes that I could wear it for work. It's a bargain too. yay.
We went to Culver's for dinner. I wanted to eat burger so we went there. We stopped by in McDonald's after to buy vanilla cone. yum.

Burger
I came home and saw hubby grilling in the patio. Smell so good. I got in inside the house & the table was ready. It is so nice to be home. All I had to do was change my clothes & was ready to eat. Burger & fries was our dinner. He had German chocolate cake while I was having the fruit salad dessert. It was such a good night & I had to prepare our clothes for tomorrow. Such an ordinary day yet so nice.

Busy Bee
I have been busy. Saturday, I had to work nights since there wasn't enough coverage. I didn't mind since I'm off the day after. We weren't that busy though which is good. I had to stop by at my aunt's house after i got off from work to drop the ingredients for the dessert that she had to make for the supposed to be picnic. She was making "binangkal" & German chocolate cake.Sunday, we didn't go since the weather was crappy in the morning & it was held in Iowa. As we all know, tornado hit on their area & had some damages. We were kinda scared and at the same time, we were thinking about the gas price. We went shopping instead. We spent 3 hours shopping & we wished we just went to the picnic to save money. lol. but we had fun, that's the good thing.
Hubby picked me up at my aunt's house @ 4 and we headed to the theater. We watched Kung Fu Panda. It was great. We went to Applebee's Restaurant after. Went back to my aunt's house again to pick up my stuff and some food. We went home after.
Today, we went to Red Zone Barbeque Restaurant for lunch. We stopped by at Target after and had some shopping. We went home after & stayed for the rest of the night. I did some cleaning and felt so great after. Did some laundry too.
I am relaxing right now & going to bed soon. I have to work early tomorrow. sigh

Just came from the basement
At work this morning, they said we were having a tornado warning later that night. Work was ok. I had some grocery shopping during my 1 hour lunch so that by the time i got at at 5, i was just gonna go home straight. It is convenient for me to do it since I can put my stuff in the refrigerator that has needed to.
Hubby was preparing dinner when i got home. I was cleaning after & while watching the news, we heard the siren somewhere in the west. Hubby took the extra tv in the basement & cleaned up the litter box. We took the cats in the basement & took the things that were necessary. We were laying down in the couch the whole time. We couldn't count how many time the sirens was on. It was kinda scary & I was praying the whole time for our safety. It took almost 2 hours that we stayed in the basement.
We just came from the basement. Thank God...but sad to say,Little Sioux, Iowa, there were 30-40 injuries that was from Boy Scout Camp.
I called my mom & a minute after we talked, she said, the balikbayan box just arrived. yahoo...it took 2 months before they got it. I'll be sending them again on Christmas. As much as possible, i wanted to send them balikbayan box twice a year, excluding the money every month. I am just thankful my husband is okay & he is supportive. I have to call her again by tomorrow.

After Work
After work yesterday, I went home right away. Hubby was home already & we were both hungry. I just changed my clothes & waited for 30 minutes & went out to eat. We went to Taco Bueno. After eating, we went home quick because hubby forgot something. Then we went to the theater and met our dad & brother. We watched Indiana Jones. It was ok.
When we got home, I started cooking right away. I cooked pancit canton, humba & cooked afritada & gizzards this morning. I made 4 layered dessert, buko salad and mango supreme for dessert. We had a lunch date wit the Watson's and had to be there @ 3 in the afternoon in their place earlier.
They grilled ribs, chicken & brats. We were having a feast for 4 people...LOL...it was too much. It was a relaxing day for all of us...Next time, it will be in my place. I'm thinking we'll gonna grill & go swimming. Hopefully not a lot of people in the pool at the time.

Tornado Siren
I was ready to go to bed this morning when I've heard the tornado siren. I thought at first it was just heard something noise outside but after a minute, it was the siren for real. I looked at my cat and she looked scared. I hurriedly ran upstairs since hubby went to bed ahead of me because I was still busy in the kitchen for the cook out later. He was in the deep sleep still. I woke him up & told him we should go to the basement. He got up right away & I was following him while I was holding my cat. I told him to find his cat and we would gonna head to the basement but he couldn't find him so we just went without him. We were having a thunderstorm & his cat always hide every time we have a storm. It's because he had a trauma before when he fell from the window & was outside for 3 days. My hubby almost gave up to look for him but to his surprise, he saw him by the window. I feel sad just imagining what his cat had experienced. But aside from that, he is fine.
Anyways, while we were in the basement & I was laying in the couch, I could hear a meow under the pillow. I was surprised. I was worrying about him & I was glad he made a noise. It was because I was crushing him...lol...poor guy...I was so glad to see him & I was relaxed after. We stayed in the basement for 1 hour since the siren was on & off...We watched the news after and it was confirmed that there was 1 tornado hit in Omaha. There was no major injuries but damaged houses and businesses. It was scary since it was a little warning and people were asleep when it happened. I am so glad and thank God that we are all safe.
We finally went to bed at 4 in the morning & woke up at around 10 in the morning.

Overslept
We have a tornado watch again. We've had it yesterday too. But thank God, we are still safe. It went to other directions.
I overslept today. I needed it though. I am still tired when I woke up. hehehe. Probably too much sleep. Before going to work, I did household chores. I cooked, clean the litter box and a little bit cleaning in the basement, vacuum downstairs & upstairs. whew. I just couldn't help just to sit in the house & it's cluttered. As much as possible, I wanted to be clean all the time. That's why my husband said I am an Obsessive Compulsive type of person. I can't relax. Everything has to be an order. Maybe I get this attitude from my mom. She is worse than me though. hehehe.
Work is good. We had fun. Our manager closed with us & he is freaking funny. I had to leave early before my scheduled time since I am over. We are trying to avoid overtime since we wanted to have a bonus quarterly. So far so good.
I did some grocery shopping after work. Me & Vangie are both off tomorrow and before hitting the store, we're gonna have lunch at my place. We rarely go together shopping since our time wouldn't meet. I am excited for tomorrow.

Not Much
What's up guys? Not much in here. Supposed to be my off yesterday but I had to work because I wanted Friday off. I have to go to church with my aunt since it's first Friday of the month & it's a tradition in Omaha for the Filipino-American organization to have a mass & it's officiated with a Filipino priest.It was cool though that I had to work with Vangie last night since our scheduled wouldn't meet lately. sigh. Work is more fun with we work together.
I had to be back at 8 in the morning this morning to work on my normal shift. I only had 5 hours of sleep but I used to it. Marisa showed up at work & I was happy to see her. We had lunch together in Subway.
Got home & saw that hubby just came in the house with the plate on his hand. He made dinner again. Two days in a row now. Yeah, He cook if I have to work 8-5 because He knows I am so lazy when i get home. But on Thursday & Friday, I cook for our lunch too since I work 1-10. But lately, He cooks more than I do. If not, we normally go out and get something to eat.
I was hoping to get some sleep tonight but I couldn't. Don't know why. I am sure I will be sleepy at work again tomorrow but I can manage.
See yah later guys. I am trying to get some sleep now. Good Night.

It Made My Day
I thought this blog was deleted. I check it tonight and I am glad it is being saved. whew. So here it goes...
How's your Sunday? Mine is good. We went to Walmart to buy the Norton virus since we lost our old one's code. grrrr...such a waste. We bought a new phone also since our old one got wet when we had a thunderstorm Friday morning. One of our windows upstairs were leaking and the water went in & wet the carpet & our phone. Since that day, we're using our phone from our bedroom but there's no caller ID. We finally bought a new one earlier.
We went to Old Country Buffet for breakfast. We like their breakfast than lunch. It's cheaper and better food. We decided just to go home after since we spent a lot already. It was fine with me so that we can do housework. We took a nap too. So relaxing.
I've got a call from my cellphone from my boss but wasn't able to talk to her since i was napping. She left a voice message so i called her back when i woke up. She then told me she talked to our manager since he messed up my schedule. I supposed to close 1-10 on Saturday just once a month but he scheduled me for 3 Saturday's now. She talked to him and told him he needed to fix it since me and the Co-Manager made an agreement when I was about to quit on my schedules. hehehe. It got fix now. yahoo. She is such a good supervisor. She would defend you if you're under on her team. The fact that she works there for 17 years already is a plus too. But she doesn't want to be a manager. She's happy where she at right now just like me. I am enjoying my job really. Don't pay that good but the benefits are awesome plus the people are great. Right now, I am not planning to find a new job. We'll see in the future.

Tornado Warning
If it's spring time, it's expected to have a tornado in our state. Our weather is weird. But living for 4 years already, I am used to it. In fact, I like being cold. I like the feeling of cuddling & baking cookies for the two of us. Summertime is just too hot here. So humid.
We've had 2 tornado's warning lately. Good thing, it didn't hit us bad. The first one even switched direction. The second one which was last Thursday, it hit somewhere part in Omaha but not bad. It just hit Wal-Mart truck but not from our store.
We even ended up going home an hour early from work since we were so slow. I was in a hurry to go home. I made it safe. whew.
