Anyway, Mira (baby niece) has been trying to poop for two days until yesterday and she is unable to. Her poop would just get stuck in her butt, like peeking out but never coming out, and she would cry like she's being tortured. My dad gave Sora some suppositories to use but we have no idea how to use it because nephew didn't have problems pooping when he was a baby. The first time Sora did it, she put just a little bit in (because we didn't know how much we should use), left it there, put Mira's diaper on and then saw the suppository on her diaper with no poop. It didn't work so last night was again the torturous cries of Mira because she can't poop properly.
Again, I googled how to use an infant suppository and apparently we were supposed to put in as much of the suppository in until it stops going in (Sora ended up pushing like an inch and a half of it in) and then hold her butt cheeks closed so that it doesn't come out again. And then we were supposed to wait for ten minutes before it worked. So that's what we did, and just barely two minutes later, success! She pooped like three inches of hard clay and no more crying.
That was a relief. I do not want to hear torturous baby cries again.
We've decided on mini rosaries as giveaways and I would make the invitations and thank you tags for the giveaways. Sora and her husband are looking for a cheap buffet place for the guests after the baptism. Since Sora is stuck at home taking care of two kids, one is in elementary but he goes home during lunch to eat so she has to take care of him too and the other is 6 months old, and her husband works in a very unflexible schedule, then I'm going to have to scour the market for where I could find mini rosaries. Online isn't an option because the stores that we found that sells really cheap don't do COD and we prefer COD to prevent scams and such especially since this is a rush situation.
Sora has eleven people on her list as the godparents of Mira. Eleven. That's just her list, her husband's list would be different. And I thought the eight godparents of her first born was already a lot. I think in other countries there are only usually just two people for godparents but in this country, you hoard them because they tend to disappear over time. I had six when I was baptized and I only remember and am in contact with only one now. I guess that means people don't take being a godparent very seriously here? Idk. I also don't know how they're going to find a buffet that could feed that many godparents and relatives. Sora's husband has a lot of siblings and they would all, most probably, come.
I feel bad that I can't contribute financially to this event. But it's my nephew's 8th birthday too on the 18th and I promised him a long time ago to take him to this play park at the mall where it really costs a lot for his birthday (parks are rare in this province, rice fields are abundant). I also have that thing about the house and the checking account. I am also not sure when I would be receiving the money to open the account so it's causing some anxiety.
But now, I have to go to Angeles City, the next town, just to get the endorsement letter from their main office and then find where the bank is. But the fun doesn't stop there, oh no, before I actually open the account, I still have to find the money to put in it. Thank God for networking. My sister, Sora, knows someone who can lend us money for the opening of the account and the initial monthly payment.
I suppose it's going to be okay. I still have to wake up early tomorrow though. I'm so sleepy but I still need to wake up in four hours to work.

About a month ago, I saw someone go up the stairs. Well, actually, I saw someone's legs as they were going up the stairs. Our stairs go about 7 steps halfway and then turns at a 90 degree angle for another six steps to the second floor. It was at the turn that I saw the legs. I thought it was my oldest younger sister, Friday but when I asked my youngest sister, Kitty, she said Friday hadn't come home yet.
Since then I've seen people pass by, go up or go down the stairs through the corner of my eye.
What surprised me was when my dad asked me if I'd been seeing "things" around the house. When I told him I'd been seeing things around the stairs, he told me that that's where he'd been seeing things too.
It only started when Friday came back. Come to think of it, we started getting horrible luck about money when she came.
I wonder if Friday bought back something with her.

My dad complains that he doesn't have money but he refuses to go to work and earn some. One of my younger sisters says she's going out to apply for a job but goes on dates instead. I wonder how she bought a new celphone when she doesn't have a job.
Anyway, to keep myself busy I've decided to advertise again for a penpal. I got an email one so I'm trying very hard to be friendly and to be interesting and stuff although I think I'm trying too hard again.
And so, the new Arashi communities also scan the contents of the potential members' LJ blog to see if they're active. I've got 23 posts on this one and I've been a member of LJ since 2008, since I got hooked on Arashi.
I am so going to be rejected.
