laugh trip moments

i had this fun conversation with colby sometime this week. obviously people like us HATE math like it's a disease. ask us to compute without any pens and calculators and you'll get blank stares from us. so anyway, this is how the conversation went:

colby: ang right angle 90 degrees diba?
yagie: oo.. ata
colby: hehehe ok.
yagie: math yan eh!!
colby: pati ako nalilito na. hahaha!
yagie: eh ano yung 45 degrees?
yagie: yun ba yung parang natutumbang letter L?
colby: ang 45 deg eh yung isang slice ng cake. hahaha!
yagie: ayun eh!!
yagie: so ang 90 degrees eh parang 3:00 sa relo? tama ba?
colby: korek!
colby: ang kulet!
yagie: panalo tayo sa visuals!!
colby: depende pa kung paano mag slice ng cake. baka kasi ang isang slice eh yung malaki noh!
colby: as in yung 90 deg slice ng cake!
yagie: oo nga naman..

hindi ka ba naman mabaliw sa usapan na yan? haha

ang saya di ba?

aga mulach encounters... at chef and brewer

since ang lovable kong dada eh may gig sa chef and brewer every thursdays (plugging po!) and tamang timing naman since si cousin liza eh bumisita from the states, we decided to let her watch my dad. and as fate (uy, fate ba talaga?) would have it, andun din pala si aga. siyempre kasama ko as usual ang partner in crime ko na si colby. buti na lang at tamang-tama ang lugar namin since malapit kami sa cr so kung ma weewee man si aga, dadaan siya sa amin. at oo nga at dumaan nga. siympre kaming mga simpleng mamamayan lang eh na-starstruck ng todo! kulang na lang may stars sa mga mata namin.

so anyway, here's a video we took of aga jamming with my dad's band. see my dad there at the back? actually siya yung kinukuhaan namin ng vid eh, sumingit lang si aga. hehe joke!

enjoy!

i'm just happy!!

out of nowhere, i came up with the best xmas present that i can give aishi!! but for now i'm going to keep it a secret until chistmas is over. :)

i'm just so happy at the idea and i wouldn't have to spend for anything for it! yey!!

i want...

that kfc bucket meal na may free choco mousse!! yummy! saw the commercial and i'm dying to have it!!

paging aishi... bili tayo ng kfc.. hehe :P

wala lang. :) later na ang mga tunay na updates, "busy" eh.

how i wish na gumagawa na lang ako ng mga accessories ko sa bahay. mas kumikita pa ako dun eh hahaha!

i'm just ranting...

some people i know have been acting like sheep. you guys have a brain you know, use it!! please!

some things are really going downhill. and no, it's not personal thank god! i wuld've cried about it and not blogged about it.

it's funny that one person can really turn around things just like that with the snap of his fingers. hence the first statement that some people have become sheep! thank god i didn't turn ito one of them.

i'm just counting down the days until i can finally say this is over and done with. can i say freedom? hahaha

on the downside, i'm sure going to miss some of those sheep. they have been good. and i'm proud of the others that have remained indifferent and just gets on with what they are contented with. good job you guys! and see you soon!

for now, i'm keeping my mouth shut and details secret. but one way or the other some people would know. word gts around fast... and people talk, and i mean talk!

;)

Happy birthday!

happy birthday ple!! to the greatest bestfriend in the world! here's to more years celebrating your birthday!!



would you believe, 9 or so years of knowing each other! ay lola, winner ka talaga!!

this is it! until we grow old and fantastic! (minus the wrinkles, of course!)

As mentioned earlier, as the ultrasound last Saturday indicated that we are going to have another little boy running around soon! It was quite a happy and surprising experience since we didn’t expect at all that it was going to be another boy. Half of me was hoping that it would be a girl since we first came up with the name for a girl and we were slacking off thinking for a boy’s name.

It was really funny when aishi saw that it really was a boy. I mean it’s no denying that the doctor pointed out his balls. It was right there in front of us. I just laughed at how funny it is. Part of we was also happy knowing that I wouldn’t go through all the hassle of taking care of a baby girl since I have no idea how to take care of one. Taking care of boys are much easier. They’re much easier to clean up after pooping and weewee. One or two wipes and they’re good to go. 

The only sablay thing that I forgot to do was ask for a copy of the ultrasound print out of baby’s genitals as proof that he is a boy! Haha

When we got home, mama was requesting to do a 3d ultrasound so that she can see what Keon looks like. Hopefully that can be arranged once I get my 13th month pay.

~~*~~

Our office has arranged an internal contest and the grand prize would be a whopping… P300k for the winning group! Gosh! Imagine all the money when our team wins!

~~*~~

Saw happy feet last Saturday and it’s a great movie!! I am truly in love with robin Williams! He’s absolutely cute! And the other penguins too!

This is one movie with a story. I didn’t notice how long the movie was!

~~*~~

My cousin just came back from the US and I can’t wait to see her again! It has been so long! Updates when we get to go out this week. :D

~~*~~

My little boy’s the jealous type. he makes funny faces or scrunches up his face to show he’s mad when he sees his dada kissing me or even touching my tummy. He even gets mad if he sees his uncle hugging my dad! That only happens to me and my dad. For other family members, he wouldn’t care less. Hahaha

He’ll be nice to you if you take him outside to play with the dog or, just play outside. After that if he gets tired, he comes rushing to me. hahaha. How user can my son get? Amazing!!

~~*~~

I just can’t help but feel sad when I see or even hear news of babies dying or even being born dead. It just breaks my heart. One, because as a mom I feel what the mom feels, after all that she has gone through then this tragedy. Then, of course the loss of a loved one.

Blame the hormones or whatever but I just want to cry. It’s just so unfair that these little angles have to be taken too soon. Para bang pinakita lang sa mga magulang kung ano ang itsura ng mga anak nila.

A big chunk also goes to the fact that i’m scared as hell that this might happen to me as well and i’m scared of not being able to cope at all. But if it’s god’s will, it’s god’s will.

But I’d really prefer that I get to keep my kids as long as possible.

happy dancing kyle

ay walang sound.. check out: http://yagie.multiply.com to hear his shrieks and shouts. hehe :P

and the gender is...

glitter text

again... at least proven that those chinese calendars are not reliable at all!!

naiinis ako..

kasi naman, pag gising ko kaninang umaga, nagsabi si yaya ni kyle (in a very casual manner pa!) na nadapa daw si kyle kahapon. so ayun may sugat tuloy ang little boy ko sa tuhod. nakakainis!

parang asan ba siya at hindi man lang niya nabantayan ng maayos para naman hindi magkaroon ng sugat ang anak ko? ang nakakainis pa eh parang ganun ganun lang. eh anak ko yun eh! anak ko yung nasugatan eh.

hmph nakaka bad trip lang... how i wish andun ako para hindi ganun ka-grabe yung sugat... :(

wawa naman little boy ko. *sigh*

I am seriously stressed lately. One, because the holiday season’s just under our noses and we’re up to our necks in preparing for the xmas party here in the office. Quite busy since I’m in the marketing department and follow ups and requests for sponsorships have been going on like crazy. Not counting of course the other people who send sponsorships and proposals every single day that I have to handle as well. But I’m just human and I can’t do everything at once. Here’s proof of how messy it gets this time of year…

Check out my desk… I believe I have the messiest and largest stack of papers in the whole office. Talk about me being OC… where is the OC person hiding? I need her here, asap!


the left side


the right side


And to think I hated having stacks and stacks of paper in my desk. And this is what I get.

You should see my marketing drawer and cabinet. It’s overflowing with things! I can’t even imagine putting any more items there! There’s no more space for the marketing department! Help! We’re drowning…

~~*~~

On to much better things then…

We laid our good friend and colleague, Edison to rest last Tuesday. It was a sad day since we won’t see him physically anymore but happy as well since he’s on to better things. No more pain and suffering.

One of my officemates, Peachy, created a memorial site for him. For Edison please feel free to light a candle for him even though you barely know the person. We, his officemates and friends would really appreciate it. J

~~*~~

Since I’m really busy with work, I wasn’t able to upload the pics of all the accessories I made. Unfortunately some of them were purchased already. But if you want to take a peek or you’re here in the ortigas area, drop me a line and I could show you what I made.

I also do customized accessories. Just show me the pic and I’lll try (and tell you kung kaya ba ng powers ko o hindi) to make your design.

I’m really looking forward to an advanced class in bead making.. para mas bongga ang mga designs!

If you want to share cool designs of necklaces, bracelets, earrings, etc. please send the pics to my gmail. hazel.yago.hung@gmail.com J

~~*~~

I hate the feeling when you’re preggy and you’re all gassy and you just can’t let out the gas no matter how much you want it to. It just stays there in your tummy and makes you really uncomfy. I’d choose to burp or fart anytime. But then ayaw ng gas eh… kainis!! I hate this! First, I’m constipated, now this??

~~*~~

I’m a bit bothered with our CR, everytime I go there, the seat’s always up! To think that we have our own CR from the boys. But it seems like one of the boys was there before me. it’s nice to see that the seat’s up. But it’s a girl’s CR. Is it necessary to leave the seat up? Nakakabother lang talaga…

Saturday adventures

i went back to Quiapo for another fix of beads and other stuff. and i brought along with me my best friend and hubby of course. after around an hour or so and P2000 less my wallet... we decided to walk around the area. and ple needed to withdraw some money too. hehe

since we were in the manila area, we decided to drop by the taft area and visit our alma mater. mine along leon guinto and aishi and ple's along taft.

we of course ate at my usual tambayan in college... let the pictures do the talking...



the menu.



the ever famous iced coffee. at 32 pesos. dati 20 lang yan... 4 years ago. haha



i'm happy with my iced coffee.. ^_^



happy faces at tattles.

we weren't able to take pictures of the food we ordered but it was great eating their creamy chicken! yummy! next time, we'll try the breaded chicken!!

balik tayo ha??

i was never good at goodbyes and losing someone...

This November has been a bit of a sad month for me and for the people who I get to spend most of my time with.

I have been working in Yehey for more than 2 years and this year I have witnessed a lot of people leaving the company. They were the people I got to know when I started here and now, they have moved on. Funny thing was, they were almost if not, a few months older than my stay in Yehey. I’m happy for them that they have ventured into bigger things. Who wouldn’t? I would if an opportunity presents itself. I’m just sad that I wouldn’t get to see them everyday, wouldn’t hear the usual banter, the hirits, endless laughter. I really learned to love them the way I love my close friends.

I really hate saying goodbye. It feels like when you say goodbye, you won’t get to see that person anymore. And honestly, I don’t want that to happen. I just hate goodbyes. Really.

See I don’t even know how to end this entry about goodbyes…

----

By far, this has been the worst week ever for us here in the office. Our good friend and officemate, Edison, passed away last Thursday. It was a shock since it was unexpected and sudden.

We were going about our usual Thursday morning. Checking mails, calling up people, minding our own business really. We were accustomed to Edison usually coming in late for work or filing for half day. We kenw this was no different day. After buying lunch from our usual manang, I asked Cams, his seatmate if he’s coming in today late or half day. She answered, as usual. So I went about my own stuff.

Juli came in our area and was a bit frantic. I thought there must be something happening outside. All of us wanted to know what the fuss was about. Then I saw cams, she was crying. Then I heard someone say the Edison died. Today. He didn’t wake up from his sleep.

I was shocked. I didn’t know what to react. Half of me was hoping or waiting for someone to say the joke’s on us. But then I guess it wasn’t. it was true. He was gone. Just like that. Gone.

To think I got to see him that Wednesday night. He was there in his area, busy doing some programming stuff. If I remember correctly, I even asked him how he’s been and noticed that he’s still getting thinner. He should try to eat more. I couldn’t remember what he said but he was in a light mood. Some even remembered that same night, before he went home, he said goodbye to everyone there in the office. Jay was even surprised that Eds bid him bye. He even joked, bakit hindi ka na ba babalik? Unfortunately, he didn’t and will never come back.

It’s a bit freaky knowing that some people, unknowingly say goodbye to everybody before they pass away. And eds was one of those.

We went to his wake this morning and from the moment I saw him there. That’s when everything sinked in. he’s gone. I won’t get to joke around with him anymore, I won’t hear him call me to eat our lunch in the pantry. I won’t get to hear him tell animated stories about his life. And at 24, he’s gone. The tears just fell and I just let them. Even some of my guy officemates were crying.

Although I still can’t accept the fact that he’s gone 100%. It just feels like he resigned. Moved to another company. I don’t know. I really can’t cope with the fact that I lost someone I know at such a young age.

Hey eds, if you get to read this, I’m sure you’re happy. I guess now’s the time for you to take it easy. I’m sure you’re watching over us. I know you’ve heard this a lot today from your parents, but we really are proud of you. You are a great person and truly a loss to all of us. Kung asan ka man, I hope hindi na mainit dyan para hindi ka na pawisan. And I’m sure wherever you are, you get to eat all the food you want to eat. Ingat ka lagi… I’m sure going to miss you… - mommy yags

my little talkative boy

it's so amazing to finally hear my little boy speaking. as i mentioned this to his stage ninang, (hi colby!) may accent pang kasama. australian accent, for that! haha

for now, my little boy can say:

>car
>ball
>there - tactic niya dito eh, magpapakarga muna tapos sabay turo at sabi ng there. galing mag manipulate noh? haha
>wawa - pointing to his insect bites
>dada - to call aishi or my dad
>mama - to call my mom or me

i sure hope i could capture these words. :)

and my little boy's 16 months yesterday! so amazing that time really flies so fast and i'm getting impatient to see our little baby #2. any day now, we're off to see if i'm carrying a girl or a boy. :)

80's kid ka ba?

well then hop over to COLBY's blog and reminisce on the good ol' 80's and early 90's shows.

thanks ple for the good 80's memories. mahal ko silang lahat!!!

ahihihi

thinking on a friday afternoon

i really want to go back to quiapo and splurge on beads and other supplies! i think i have found my heaven and my new addiction. i have been making stuff like crazy two weeks ago and i can't seem to stop! it's so addicting and therapeutic at the same time. i'm also praying that one day, this will turn into a booming business for me.

it's the weekend tomorrow and i'm really wishing to go to quiapo. but my trusty companion/shopping buddy for beads aka aishi is in bagiuo now on a business trip to check on his branch there with his boss and he'll be back tomorrow evening. :(

honestly, this will feel like the first time again that i'll be sleeping alone in our bed. worse, there won't be anyone to wait for to come home. i feel sad... who will hug me in the middle of the night or even get my blanket when he has his own? who will wake up in the middle of the night with such fuss and urgency just to pee? and in return waking me up in the process? haay. it;s just an overnight thing and i'm missing my hubby so much. hubby withdrawal? hehe

at least i still have another cute guy to snuggle with tonight when i sleep. and his name is kyle. :) shame on you if you jumped to conclusions... tsk tsk tsk.

anyway, here's his picture i took just this morning when he woke up in a really good and playful mood.



it was good to see him in a good mood after the usual wake up-cry to ask for milk-let's go down now- routine that we have every morning. hehe

this pregnant woman is nesting... and making jewelries

I am seriously in a nesting mood lately. Aishi and I are now planning to renovate our room in time for baby number #2’s arrival. Just like what aishi did when I was about to give birth to kyle, but then he was the only one in the nesting phase. Anyway, we are now in the works of planning to repaint our room and rearrange all the things and hopefully, dispose some that have been collecting a lot of dust. Which are partly my stuff since it was my room eversince. I’ve decided to retain all my books and the other stuff have to go. If there would be a lot of stuff to be disposed, then a garage sale in our neighborhood would be in order.

The only problem now would be how to clean / renovate our room when kyle’s at home with us as well? I’m scared that he might get sick again from ihaling the dust and other icky stuff from our room. I guess the best option would be to let him stay for the day with my in laws until we finish the room. And I’m estimating that this project would take around 2 weekends to finish.

Basically the plan for the room is to repaint it either in all white to make the room bigger and brighter or retain the same color, which is light baby blue. I wouldn’t mind really as long as the colors are light and can make our room, appear bigger than it is. We just have to buy the paint since we have everything ready at home. My dad just finished repainting my brother’s room 2 weekends ago. Now it’s our turn.

---

I was having a hard time getting to bed last night after putting kyle to sleep so I decided to make more earrings, necklaces and bracelets. And before I knew it, it was 1am! Aishi wasn’t home yet since he went out with one of Kyle’s ninongs. So anyway, here’s one of the many “creations” I made last night and which I wore today at work.



insipred by and ad where charlene gonzales was wearing almost the same type of necklace but the pearls were black and much more bigger.

Sexy Name?!?!

laugh trip!! at least kahit paano, wholesome siya..

Random Chenes

Ø I’m so in the mood in making necklaces and earrings and bracelets! I’m loving the designs I made. And it’s a good therapy for me too. Although I wish I had more time to do it but I wouldn’t trade that in taking care and spending time with kyle. So the only time I can make them is when he’s asleep. But I’m slowly getting there. And I’m going to sell it online. Thanks to my bestfriend, I have a customer na! I’ll post the pics once everything’s good to go. If you want to order, let me know.

Ø Have you tasted the new ice cream from Selecta? The one that they made for red ribbon? It’s soooo yummy! I love their choco mousse! Tastes like the real thing and it even has the cake bit of the choco mousse at the bottom. I love it! can’t wait to try out the sans rival and the black forrest variant. Happy dance.

Ø I’ve uploaded batch 2 of the bags I’m selling online. http://hazehung.multiply.com/ to see the pictures. Next would be apparel and of course, the jewelries. Buy kayo ha? Hehehe

Ø Starbucks sticker update: as of today, I’ve got three! That easy! And I only started today. Ok, before any of your eyebrows start to raise and shoot me some nasty looks about coffee and me being pregnant, I just bought one and the two stickers were from my friendly barista since the customer ahead of me didn’t avail of the planner so she gave it to me. plus points for me!! and my favorite baristas there know my bestfriend and I to be one of their regular “tambays’ there everyday, so yey! And 18 stickers to go. Hopefully by December, I have that planner sitting comfortably in my bag.



Ø Kyle kwento: we bought him a Blues clues dvd and he was really really happy watching it. he was staying put in his own chair just watching and sometimes standing up to dance. He’s just so amazed watching blue and for the first time hearing her talk. Yes, blue the dog is a GRIL!! Amazing isn’t it? and it’s a different show from the ususal, blues clues. Instead of the cartoonish type and having steve or joe around, it’s just blue and her friends. And they’re puppets! Mor fun for kids like my little boy kulit!



Ø can i just say that this is the cutest shoe i have ever seen! i miss wearing heels and wedges... 3 more months to go!! :D

all i want for christmas is...

for now, the only thing i'm wishing for this xmas is this...

my own baby sling (www.rjellybeanslings.com)

i sure hope i could get one for christmas... any kind souls out there? ahihihi?

and a cool design wouldn't hurt too. =P

Baby Updates

My liitle one will be 6 months this November 6 and my time flies so fast. It was literally like yesterday when I found out I was pregnant. Funny thing was, I remember that day like it just happened last night. The night we found out I was pregnant again, we were more scared than the first time we told my parents. How funny can that get? Imagine me having a baby who’s turning one then getting this scared telling my parents, there’s another one on the way. Amazingly, my mom and her super powers of motherly instinct, knew before we even opened our mouths. Funny thing, a month before, she even warned us to take extra care so that I won’t get pregnant again. But then even after all the precautions and pag-iingat. Well, I guess we still hit the jackpot. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining here. I’m happy! Overflowing with happiness.

As I’ve said I’m nearing my 6th month meaning 3 months to go and another baby comes out of me. I’m more scared than before. I’m more worried on what would happen when labor starts. I wasn’t scared the first time since I didn’t know I was in labor. But now, well… things may be a bit different. I’m also scared out of my wits knowing that I’m going to feel the pain of those pesky contractions again. And I don’t want to go into a screaming fit all over again. Which by the way caught me off guard that time. And me calling for my mommy. Imagine that! How pathetic can I get? A pregnant woman in labor and active contractions asking for her mommy!

Of course not discounting the fact that it’s the time of the month where the bathroom has become my friend again, with frequent trips to pee anytime of the day and especially in ungodly hours when everybody’s off to dreamland. And should I mention the difficulty in finding that perfect sleeping position that’s good for you and the baby? No ample amount of pillows or even aishi’s hotdog pillow helps in finding it.

And they say being pregnant is just great.

Anyway, as usual, I have strayed from the usual topic at hand. Baby number 2. She – yes, I am assuming baby number 2’s a she. She is having the grandest time of her life inside me. I guess she just recently discovered that she can move about my tummy thus adding more discomfort for me. I’ve recently felt sharp movements and I have this hunch that it’s either her elbow or he knee.

I’m also crossing my fingers that by the end of this month, I’ll be confirming if baby number 2 is a girl or not. But then, I’m still happy that I’ll be carrying a healthy and happy baby.  Will post her next ultrasound picture soon. 

2007 Planner here i come!!

I can’t wait to get my hands on the 2007 Starbucks planner! After a year of waiting, it’s here again! Yippee! This time with lesser effort to collect the stickers compared to 2004’s planner. That was a LOT of coffee to drink and money spent. But in the end it was all worth it. I mean, where can you find your good ‘ol coffee and get a free planner and at the same time help out someone in need. I’d say that’s hitting 3 birds with one huge stone! Hahahaha

Good thing I was able to see my bestfriend a while ago. And saw her in our usual tamabayan in starbucks. It’s fun having someone reaching the same goal as you do. And I have this feeling that hubby’s going to follow suit since he’s a new convert to coffee drinking. 

This is exciting! I’m going to start on Monday!! Coffee, here we come!!

A Merry Coffee Christmas this will be again! =)

free writing...

november na!! one month to go matatapos na ang taon tapos eto pa rin.. ganun ganun lang. kamusta naman yun di ba?

wala! wala akong maisip na matino ngayon. ang dami kong gustong gawin pero hindi ko alam kung paano sisimulan at itutuloy. ayokong malipad na lang ng hangin ang mga ito. maging mga pangarap na lang muli. sa huli ako pa rin ang talo. ganun naman lagi eh,. kahit na nung bata pa ako. ewan ko ba. mahabang parusa ba ito sa kasalanan na wala akong ka-malay-malay? o sadyang drama lang na kinatha ng isip ko na ako rin ang nag parusa sa sarili ko? masokista noh? hindi naman...

siguro dahil na rin sa dami ng mga bagay na dapat asikasuhin. hindi ko alam kung san magsisimula. hindi ko alam lain dun ang number one. basta nakalista lang sila. lakas rin ng trip noh? nakakaloka na rin minsan. nakakabaliw.

buti na lang andyan lagi si aishi at little boy kulit. kung wala sila siguro nagmukmok na lang ako sa isang sulok sa kwarto ko. o kaya natuto na rin akong magpakalasing. o pwede ring tuluyan na ring mabaliw. ang dami ko kasing kargong drama sa buhay. tinalo ko pa ang isang malupit na telenobela na uso sa tv ngayon.

naku kung maari lang silipin ang mga iniisip ng tao, baka sa akin walang tumagal. ang gulo, ang daming kalat, ang daming issues, ang daming problema na hindi naman dapat pinoproblema. hilig ko lang talaga pahirapan ang sarili ko. tapos iiyak-iyak na lang ako. wala naman palang gagawin. ang shonga ng dating di ba? gagawa ng problema sabay susuko pala. ano kaya yun?

sana na lang eh wag magmana si little boy kulit at si baby number 2 sa mga drama ko. eto lang ang ugali na ayaw kong makuha nila sa akin. naku. wish ko lang na sana mamana nila lahat ng mabuting ugali namin ng dada nila wag lang to. sabagay, nde naman talaga ugali to eh. tamang drama ko lang. parang ngayon. nagdadrama nanaman ako. wala kasing maisip ng matino. walang magawa na maayos. kaya eto, mag drama na lang di ba? kahit na mali at walang katuturan. ganun talaga eh.

ang drama ko talaga noh? pasensya na, buntis din kasi at siguro malakas ang dagsa ng hormones sa katawan ko ngayon. pati utak ko malubhang apektado.

paumanhin po at tamang drama lang ni haze... *bow*

babalik din po ako sa dati maya-maya hehe

a few reasons why:
> He's had a bad day.
> He's recovering from a tantrum.
> He's upset with you and doesn't know how to say it.
> He may be going through an "independent" phase.
> He's in a Daddy-favoring (or Mommy-favoring) phase. (more on a Mommy-favoring phase which sometimes makes aishi jealous)
> He may not be the touchy-feely type. - this i doubt with kyle. :)
> He isn't feeling well.
> He's experiencing real anger or distress — and acting out inappropriately.

What's up with my toddler?

kyle's first photoshoot

my baby's all grown up... *teary eyed*

KYLE's FIRST PHOTOSHOOT

feel free to comment on his pics here in my blog. thanks!

so, on with the adventure that day... :)

taking advantage that Tuesday was a holiday for us working people, we were lucky that Ms. Jill, editor and i guess owner of Ideal Images Studio schedule Kyle's test photoshoot that day. good thing the studio was located in Makati and we really didn't have a hard time looking for the place. thank God for handy maps! we arrived 10 minutes earlier than scheduled.

good thing that Kyle was in a good mood and very talkative and his usual kulit self so the photoshoot was a breeze. give or take a few hitches along the way since we are dealing of course with a toddler here. good thing Ms. Jill was really patient with kyle. she was really determined to capture that perfect shot of kyle no matter what it takes. even making a fool out of herself and ours too.

at first i was a bit scared that kyle might get shy or even scared of strangers. amazingly, he wasn't. it seemed like he knew Ms. Jill a long time! he was actually playing with her! at least i'm assured that my son, is not that afraid of other people.

the shoot took around 2 hours since kyle had 2 costume changes. at first aishi and i were thinking about purchasing the cd that included all kyle's pictures for p1,000 pesos. since the photoshoot was in essence free. it was a test photoshoot naman kasi. after much deliberation on aishi's end, he agreed to purchase the cd. Ms. Jill was even kind enough to tell us that we can just deposit the amount since we didn't have enough cash on hand. all along i thought aishi agreed to it. but in the middle of the shoot, he told me he was just going outside. i thought he went outside for a smoke but he was really gone longer than usual. i found out that he went out searching for the nearest ATM so that he could pay Ms. Jill right then and there. and kyle's yaya was the one who told me. hehe

after the photoshoot and the 2 hours we stayed there in the studio. i knew kyle was getting tired and restless already since it was his naptime already. we thanked Ms. Jill for being accommodating and hoped that they would choose kyle as their magazine cover model. i'm a bit optimistic that it would happen since i have full confidence in my son that his charms worked. :)

i'm so happy in being a stage mom.

Post Secret

* text: "i feel lonely every single day of my life, but i'm ashamed to admit that to the people who love me"

it's comforting to know that someone around the world feels the same way as i do sometimes...

*thanks for the postcard from post secret... some secrets there do pinch at the heart sometimes.

thinking out loud...

some things i need to do at home... and hopefully before the year ends

> one of these days i'm going to clean out my closet and take out all the clothes that i haven't used for a year. and maybe sell it in a garage sale or something.
> clean out some of my cabinets in my room and take out all the things that are not mine.
> renovate the room in time for baby # 2's arrival.
> repaint the room white or retain the baby blue color.
> organize our closet
> organize kyle's things and clothes
> prepare baby #2's things
> hopefully get to install our own air conditioning unit in our room and our own tv set.
> prepare a complete accounting of our daily, weekly and monthly expenses.
> continue saving up those P5 and P10 coins in kyle' s piggy bank.
> prepare all the stuff i'm going to sell. (will post pictures soon :) )
> save up for kyle's education and baby #2's
> spend more quality time with aishi even if it means just cuddling in bed before going to sleep...

i guess that covers the thoughts for the day... can't wait to go home... :)

Wednesday Mind Hump

Today is Long Distance Day.

1. What's the longest distance you've ever traveled? the longest? i think that was sometime last year around March when we went on a road trip all the way to Bicol and Donsol, Sorsogon to see the whale sharks and stay at our kabarkada's island. can't wait to go back there again and finally swim with the whale sharks. hanggang boat lang ako dati kasi i was 5 months pregnant na. hehe so nag sunbathing na lang ako while the others swam with the big fishes. :)

2. What's the longest distance you've ever walked? this was when i was working pa in makati. i walked from valero street to greenbelt. as in ang layo!! alay lakad to the max! buti na lang may walkway or else mas hassle yun. hehe

3. How far away is the friend/relative who lives the longest distance from you? as in far! my close cousins live halfway around the world. and we don't get to talk that often na. haay... i miss them... :)

happy 3,000th visit!

wow... 3,000 page views. paano kaya nangyari yun??

thanks din sa mga nagvisit ng blog ko. sana umabot naman siya ng 10k mark! yey!!

natupad na pangarap...

walang kokontra... pangarap ko to. hahaha

(sorry kung malabo ang picture, cam phone lang eh. hehe

picture taken at Toy Kingdom Mall of Asia. it wa also my first trip there. hehe

hi, i'm haze and i'm a tigger addict...

inaamin ko, isa akong Tigger addict. i have a tigger wallet, pillow, toy, umbrella, socks, and hopefully i could add more items to these collections. but of course those items have to be really really useful. ayaw ko lang din natatambak lang sa bahay pag display. gusto ko rin gamitin. hehe i also watched the tigger movie, and i cried my eyes out. (i also love that heffalump movie, kasi may accent yung elephant hehe)

wishes...

i'd love to own a nursing pillow!! but i have no idea how much it costs.. it sure looks comfy when it comes to feeding time. i wish i knew of this product when i had kyle before to lessen the tired arms...

and it wouldn't hurt if i get it in this design too... hehehe cute!

our bora moments...

beacuse i was too lazy... the bora pics we had this year was just there in my pc. a very delayed photo blog post... hehe

anyway...


Create Your Own!

sick

this is what i really hate. getting sick especially colds. i seriously hate the feeling of having to deal with a runny nose and at the same time a stuffy one! imagine the feeling of your nose wanting to let it all out yet you can't seem to do so and you're left with a still dry tissue? there. that's what i'm feeling now. a full nose but nothing comes out. boo!

and of course from trying to blow it all out, i end up with a red and irritated nose. plus the stuffed ears and itchy throat. yup full blown mommy haze with the sniffles... waaah!!

i want to get better! i want to breathe properly! i can't think being like this! it sucks!

i also hate the feeling that i have this really high fever but when you check my temp or even touch my forehead i'm normal as the next guy. as my dad would call it "mas malamig ka pa sa bato" hahaha

and it's sad that i'm the last one in the family with the colds. parang napunta na sa akin yung mga latak ng virus kaya ganito ka-lala ang sakit ko. thank god and it's the weekend na!! or else i'll be suffering longer than usual. haaay...

i just can't wait to get better. this is really taking a toll on my baby baby bear bear...

my little boy is no longer a baby...

mom inspirations..

got this from someone...

Before I was a Mom - I made and ate hot meals. I had unstained clothing. I had quiet conversations on the phone.

Before I was a Mom - I slept as late as I wanted and never worried about how late I got into bed. I brushed my hair and my teeth everyday.

Before I was a Mom - I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on, wet on, spit on, chewed on, or pinched by tiny fingers.

Before I was a Mom - I had complete control over my thoughts, my body, my mind. I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom - I never held down a screaming child so that doctors could do tests, or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom - I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put it down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I could not stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a Mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important.

Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up every ten minutes, in the middle of the night, to make sure that all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderfulness, or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

and i say... AMEN to that! :)

Manic Monday

i'm so addicted to these daily Q & A's!

So, here's the questions of the day... taken here:


What is your ideal time to go to sleep at night? depends on my mood. during weekdays, the ideal time would be around 10-11pm, but i usually sleep earlier than that since i put kyle to sleep and "nakakahawa" when i'm lying down beside him because he loves to make siksik under my armpits. and on weekends around midnight especially if there's a good show or dvd at home.
If you had your choice, what time would you get up in the morning? in time for lunchtime hahaha. which we try to do during weekends. when kyle wakes up around 8am, i play with him a bit and give him to his yaya, then aishi and i sleep in more. :)
How many pillows do you sleep with on your bed? i have 2 under my head, one pillow for hugging and another mini hotdog pillow for my legs. i used to have around 5 pillows when i was wasn't married and without a baby then.
Are you particular about your bed sheets? not really, as long as it can get that certain temperature when the cool weather's in season, where you can snuggle in your blanket yet feel cool. then i'm happy. basta yun hehe. and who wouldn't want an itch-free bed sheet?
What size bed do you have? we have a twin sized bed.
Is that the size of your choice? we thought a twin size would be ok with us but then we realized since i have two boys that sleep like they're the only ones on the bed (i.e. aishi and kyle) we're thinking of getting a bigger size but can still still have enough space in our room. hehe


* get more of your daily meme here:

can't wait for wednesday mind hump day!

5 months

baby baby bear bear is officially 5 months old in my tummy as of friday and he/she's been quite a busy baby. i could count 20+ movements in a day! how active can a 5 month old fetus get! and yet with little space. it's so fun feeling him/her move, she first starts out as a bubbling sensation then full force kick or turn-around! crazy little baby. hehehe

and of course, aishi was really happy feeling his/her movements for the first time, it was like the first time when i was pregnant with kyle. same happy expression. wait till he sees this baby move when i reach my 8th month... parang may alien uli sa loob. hahaha

kyle's happy also but started to be clingy to me and would follow me wherever i go and would put up his arms asking me to carry him. and he's starting to have separation anxiety all over again. he would cry or whimper if he can't see me. and if he does, he would run towards me with open arms. hehehe now that's a feeling i wuldn't want to give up. seeing my son that he needs me so much. i'm at his mercy and beck and call. i'm his slave and i love it!

there are still moments where kyle's aware that he has a baby sister/brother in my tummy and would be really careful. he would touch my tummy if i tell him to and tell him to say 'hi baby' and sometimes he would totally ignore me if i ask him to touch my tummy. kids talaga. :)

i'm also looking forward to this month in really finding out the gender of our second baby. we're really hoping and praying for a girl. but if it turns out to be a boy, i'm still happy, as long as i'm carrying a healthy baby.

4 months to go. and this year, christmas looks like a very happy celebration... can't wait!!

Wednesday Mind Hump Day!!

Wednesday Mind Hump
Greetings, humpers! Today is Visit Your Cousin In Prison Day.

Here are the questions under "this or that" format:

Apple pie or pumpkin pie? apple pie for me please and with a scoop of ice cream on top! yummy!
Cars or SUVs? i'd go with SUVs since i can see the road much better. ( as if i know how to drive! haha)
Pen or pencil? i'd go for 0.4 tipped pens. my penmanship looks very readable. haha
Electric guitar or acoustic guitar? acoustic guitars are waay better to bring on the shivers. whoohoo! kilig alert!
Shower or bath? a bath would be great if shared with someone... and lots of scented candles
Daffy Duck or Yogi Bear? daffy duck's more witty and nutty than yogi bear
Butter on a biscuit or jam on a biscuit? butter would be yummy. but depends on the biscuit really.
Bringing sexy back or dropping it like it's hot? bringing sexy back always works ;)

yipee! new layout!

i love it i love it i love it!!

simple and clutter-free! plus i can easily add things on the right hand side of my blog without distorting my entries! yey!

you guys like it? =) i do!!

*happy dance*

new template?

i'm so fickleminded today!! i want to change my template but i haven't found the right one yet! and it's killing me and my time here in the office hahaha..

if anyone knows a good site that has a simple template yet you can put a lot of links and what nots, please share it. i have been to a lot of sites and they just don't measure up... *sad*

just wanted to post this layout i had before...



wala lang, na miss ko lang kasi ang mga pictures ni kyle. hehe

dinner with aishi and kyle

sorry as usual no pictures to share... how can we take pictures if we have a very active kid with us? hehe

anyway, we spent a good day last saturday pre bday dinner at Heaven and Eggs in Eastwood. and i must say, i love love loooove the food!! heavenly!! although i would still prefer the glorietta branch in terms of sevice and quality.

aishi's pancakes came after he finished his meal when it should be along with his meal, kaya nga side dish eh. and mine, well... let's just say there was a neglected waffle along the way. but i was too gracious and in a good mood to care. and kyle was getting restless since he can see the fountain outside and wanted to get down from his high chair and play there. without aishi holding him. ha!

anyway, i'd still come back to heaven and eggs... in glorietta for the food. and the cool swings! haha

quarter of a century old

quarter of a century.. 25 years.. can you say OLD? seriously i never imagined reaching 25 this soon. before i thought 25 was a far away age. when people reached that age, they're oh-so mature and stable and with high flying careers and jet setting lifestyles.

well maybe mine isn't the way i thought it would be but i'm still having the grandest time of my life! who wouldn't i mean, having a family to call my own. my own offspring who is becoming a really smart kid at such a young age (stage mother moment) an upcoming 2nd child who i hope to be the same as his/her kuya. a great and loving and understanding and caring husband. a really supportive family. reliable friends, a very uber cool and funny bestfriend. what more can i ask for? aren't i the richest person on earth in terms of non material possessions?

on another note, i don't want to pre-empt anything but those who are close to me would know that there would be a few changes in the coming months, work wise for me. but for now, i'm not giving away a lot of details. basta yun na yun... for now

anyway, i was supposed to share what happened during my birthday. sorry no pics to share coz we totally forgot to document everything. blame it in getting old. haha so, how did our day start? hmmm..

we (aishi, kyle and i) woke up around 10am on a sunday morning. mama was still in the market. my other siblings were still asleep. so we three decided to just watch tv and play. but unfortunately there was no cable until today (paging sky cable!!) we just watched finding nemo for kyle's sake again. around lunch time, mama served my favorite dish ever! kare-kare! yummy to the high heavens! too bad aishi doesn't eat kare-kare that much. i guess something to do with the peanut butter sauce or something. good thing there were quite a few left overs from last night's dinner.

after lunch, aishi and i prepared for our "date". i felt bad that we can't bring kyle with us since we might not be able to complete our tasks (shopping). so off we went to sm for some shopping, aishi's treat. he bought me as a birthday gift, 2 maternity blouses and 1 maternity jeans. *happiness* it's not that expensive since we bought it in sm department store. super tipid talaga. we also dropped by the baby section, i wanted to buy kyle a belt since some of his pants are a bit big for him. and since it's sm, i was able to buy 2 belts for only P50 pesos each! and the belts looked like we bought it at osh kosh! winner talaga! was also hoping to buy a few things for the baby but, decided against it since we will be getting back some of kyle's clothes and a few more from his cousin migs. as in share share lang talaga ng gamit. tipid again *wink*

after walking around sm, of course aishi and i got hungry. we went around glorietta to look for something to eat. take note merienda lang naman. hehe so we ate at smokeys, bought fries from potato corner and a small bag of pop corn from holy kettle corn! yey! happy kids kami ni aishi. haha after stuffing ourselfves with merienda, we heard mass in greenbelt. it was my birthday, i should hear mass and say thanks to god of course. my gulay! parang may concert sa greenbelt chapel! people hearing mass at 4pm were full to the brim. until greenbelt 4. we braved the heat and the little breeze during the mass. aishi was a bit worried i might faint since i have been known to suffer from fainting if the area was not ventilated enough or if there were no breeze at all. but i survived.

after mass, we did our grocery shopping. bought more or less things for kyle and our baon for the week. i really love doing the grocery in landmark. hehe fun! we also bought cake from red ribbon and planned to buy some pizza from a pizza place near our house but unfortunately, wala pa rin silang kuryente so, we bought na lang in pizza hut. ang default pizza place. hehe

and we finally went home and had dinner with my family. when we came home, it was obvious that kyle missed us since he was awfully clingy to me and aishi. he wouldn't leave our side. and always wanted to be carried. come his bed time (and mine) he was very affectionate. he kissed me and his daddy a few times on the lips as well as my tummy when we tell him to say goodnight to his baby sister/brother. awww... how sweet can that little boy get?

all in all. i had the best birthday ever. even after the worst typhoons that hit manila after a few years. what's new? sanay na akong may bagyo or umuulan sa birthday ko eh. hahaha. as long as i have my family with me to celebrate, i'm happy and there's nothing else i could ask for.

although i'm still wishing for a few things on my wish list to come true. but those are material things already. will post it, if i would have the "courage"? haha

* to those who greeted me on my birthday or even sent a belated greeting, thanks! can't enumearte all your names as i might miss out one person. so i'm just saying a collective THANKS to you guys! i'm touched!

updates

ob trip..

so far so good. everything's ok with the baby. just got a little stressed and my uterus has gone tense. so was advised to drink meds for a week to relax my uterus and back to the ob for another check up.

in other news...

i'll be on a bit of a blog leave since i have to attend to some matters and would require a lot of my time. so check back once in a while na lang. but don't forget to leave some love in my tag board. =)

promise, i'll be back soon. =)

i'm off to my ob today.. for an unplanned check up.

my lower abdominal area and my back has been hurting since last night for reasons i don't know. this morning i thought the painwould just go away and it might be just gas. but it has been a bit bothering me after i have eaten my lunch. actually the pain became worse while i was having lunch. this time i knew the pain wasn't in my tummy but where the baby is. as much as i am trying to calmly writing this entry, i'm a nervous wreck deep inside.

as much as i want to lessen my absences, this is unavoidable. this is concerning my baby already. so there's no choice.

just waiting for my dad to come and fetch me.

i hope after seeing my ob, everything would be ok and just a little rest would be needed...

don't worry, i'm ok. i hope the baby is too...

kyle's lullaby song..

sing or play this song to kyle and he's off to dreamland...

have a listen here:

kyle's lullaby

even i love this song. such a soothing aura especially after a tiring day. =)

artist: Isreal Kamakawiwo ole
his ukelele version of somewhere over the rainbow/what a wonderful world can be heard in the Finding Forrester soundtrack..

and the lyrics, of course:

Oooooooo... Oooooooo... Oooooooo... Oooo... Oooo... Oooo...Oooooooo... Oooooooo... Oooooooo... Oooooooo...
Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high,
And the dreams that you dreamed of, Once in a lullaby.
Oh, somewhere over the rainbow, blue birds fly,
And the dreams that you dreamed of,
Dreams really do come true.
Someday, I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That's where you'll find me.
Oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, bluebirds fly,
And the dreams that you dare to.
Oh why, oh why can't I?
Well, I see trees of green and red roses too,
I'll watch them bloom for me and you.
And I think to myself: What a wonderful world!
Well, I see skies of blue and I see clouds of white,
And the brightness of day.
I like the dark and I think to myself:
What a wonderful world!
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky,
Are also on the faces of people passing by.
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "How do you do?"
They're really saying, " I...I love you!"
I hear babies cry, and I watch them grow,
They'll learn much more than we'll know.
And I think to myself: What a wonderful world!
Someday, I'll wish upon a star,
Wake up where the clouds are far behind me.
Where trouble melts like lemon drops,
High above the chimney top,
That's where you'll find me.
Oh, somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
And the dreams that you dare to,
Oh why, oh why can't I..?

happy picture of the day

don't tell me that this smile won't make your day...

took this picture when i was putting kyle to sleep. then i had the urge to check my phone which woke him up and so i thought to take a photo of kyle and he was surprisingly game for the photo. with all out smile pa kahit antok na antok na. basta talaga may camera noh... hehehe

eeek!

i just rea;ized that it's exactly 18 days until my 25th birthday... 25!!! a quarter of a century!!

it's madness... mad and crazy and and and... i don't know! ok now, suddenly the world seems so much bigger and there's a lot to do.

25!! can you believe that? i've been living in this funny, crazy, messed up world for 25 years!

yeah, can you see i'm panicking??

from this day until my birthday, i will remain 25 years old! forever...

i have to come up with my wish list soon... teehee!!

kyle moments...

lock and key

what a little smart boy!!




having fun with his little noise maker out of a tissue holder thingie ^_^

inspired by the nazi

you'll know who the nazi is if you're a fan of grey's anatomy...

anyway, i got a funny hirit from her since i have been experiencing a lot of weird looks lately. which i noticed when we were at a mall last saturday and i was still wearing my normal clothes although my belly has been a bit obvious already. the irritating part was i caught a few stares from other people, particularly those teeny bopper kiddies. their looks were saying something like this: " ang kapal naman, ang laki laki naman ng tummy masikip pa rin ang suot"

well bwahahaha to them then.

so while hearing mass, an idea came. i just have to find someone who can do it... and i thank those teeny bopeer kiddies for this idea. i will create a shirt that says:

" i'm pregnant, you blind moron..."

just have to find someone kind enough to print me a shirt that says that. =P

and in the next months to come, i'm sure i can come up with more shirt slogans for those preggy women out there... and maybe this can turn into a business. hmmm...

bakit?

bakit may mga tao na sadyang walang pake sa rules? sa building kasi namin, bawal mag yosi sa fire exit pero naman, lagi na lang kami nakakaamoy ng yosi dun sa may fore exit na malapit sa area namin. and proven naman ng mga security guards dito sa building namin na meron ngang mga ganun pero may ginawa ba sila? wala! tuloy pa rin ang mga nagyoyosi a few floors below and above ours. mga call center kasi. minsan wala nang regard sa mga rules. porket may baong pekeng accent eh ganun na lang sila umasta. (no offense sa mga nagtatrabaho sa mga call centers pero sa totoo lang may mga ka uri kayong mga walang modo. porket nag train para magkaroon ng accent kala mo na kung sinong mga magagaling. san naman ang tungo ng career nyo pag nag resign kayo o kaya ma-retrench? kamusta naman yun? san na kayo dadalhin ng mga yabang at accent nyo?)

anyway, back to the yosi thing... aminado ako, smoker ako. pero i make sure naman na to smoke in areas that are designated. hindi lang basta-basta kung saan lalo na kung public place. nakakahiya rin naman sa mga non smokers. tulad ko ngayon na non smoker. i truly appreciate those smokers na may respect din sa mga non smokers. alam nila kung san sila lulugar. tsaka alam nila ang tamang pag buga (meron ba nun?) basta yung hindi direct sa mukha ng tao at as much as possible not in the direction ng may tao. at least kahit paano eh maiiwasan ang pag punta ng usok sa tao. sorry na lang kung mag iba ang direction ng hangin. mahirap na ma-control yun.

kahit naman nasabihan ko na ang mga guards dito, wala rin silang magawa kundi tignan ang mga upos at dulo ng yosi na naiwan sa mga hagdanan ng mga salarin. mahirap lang talaga silang mahuli. kahit na ang lakas mag echo ng staircase na yun, wala kang maririnig na ingay. mga sneaky little boys and girls ang mga yun. naisip ko rinkung hindi lang mga taga call center ang mga gumagawa nun, what if mga professionals pa. mga matataas ang position at trabaho, hindi ba mas nakakahiya yun? lalabas na wala silang breeding at kulang sila sa courtesy.

mahiya naman di ba na mag yosi sa loob ng building na centralized ang air con at siyempre hindi agad nawawala ang amoy ng yosi sa lugar.

haaay... kakahiya lang talaga. sa totoo lang

*bow*

notice anything?

kyle's first picture:
kyle was i think 5 months old in the pic. so his features were more prominent. dyan pa lang gwapo na. pano pa ngayon? ay grabeh! haha

and our second baby's first picture...



notice anything? mana ba kay kuya sa pose? hehehe

medyo scary pa ang itsura ni baby since 8 weeks old pa lang siya dyan and super close up siya. and i can't wait for the next ultrasound. this time to see if our baby's a girl or boy. but i'm hoping for a girl. teehee!

everybody's into it...

been bloghopping while waiting for aishi's text that he's going to pick me up and i've seen a lot of people into digiscrapping. looks like an interesting hobby to do using the computer and being online. and i have seen how creative people get using pictures of their loved ones or any special occasion in their lives.

oh how i env them. how i wish i was that hardworking. how i wish i could spare moments in my hectic mommy duty to do that. how i wish i had a faster computer at home. how i wish our internet connection's faster.

it's so amazing seeing their lay outs. imagine just using photoshop as your base program and you can come up with those amazing results? wow.

if i had the time and the money i would be into that as well. but then life has a different plan for me i guess. and really, i'm much better off, keeping my memories the way i want them to be. in my own little way..

sorry drama mode lang. hehe

stress according to calvin

and i couldn't agree more...

new template

got bored with the black background of my blog so i decided to tweak it a bit. please, pardon the look for now since i'm in the process of figuring out how it should properly look like. if there's anyone out there willing to help me out with the layout and codes etc... i would gladly give you the source code and it's up to you to make it more presentable. sorry i can't pay you but for sure you will get due credit for making my blog look cool.

so, drop me a line, IM me, email, whatever. i just need your help. hehehe

thanks!!

tidbits and chunks

Start of the BER months na... less than a month to go and birthday ko na. and i'm going to be a quarter of a century old. shucks! of course, my age would stop there forever! bwahahaha!

i should definitely get my own flash drives so that i can do work at home, if i have the time...

kyle's growing up to be a really smart kid. although i'm still waiting for him to speak more words other than dada, dede, mama, pampa, didi, daddi, there, baba, babay... when can i hear those adult words? sorry was just being impatient.

happy to say that baby baby bear bear's doing good. not that prominent yet for people to realize i'm carrying a 4 month old baby in my belly. hihihi and thank god wala pang nasasayang na damit ko. although i wish i can shop at sm. their materinty clothes are so cute!! nasa uso and can be worn even after you give birth! mura pa!

i gained 3 pounds! yey!!

steve "croc hunter" is dead... read it here: CRIKEY! wawa naman siya noh? poor wife and kids...

lately kahit BER months na, bakit ang init pa rin?? not that preggy ako pero normal people around me are complaining also of the heat. mas matindi pa siya sa summer heat ha. ang hirap tuloy matulog sa gabi..

instead na food ang cravings ko, i'm more on craving books and other reading materials. nabuhay ang bookworm! yey!

i sure hope tuloy na tuloy na ang wedding namin next year. next on the agenda, visit the church we chose and prepare the reservations... then the guests, then the reception and food, then the gowns, then the cake/souvenir, then the invitations... and a whole lot of preparations hehe

so there's a few tidbits and chunks.. =)

bad vibes

ang sama lang ng loob ko ngayon. lahat naman tayo may mga bibig para masabi ang mga gusto natin pero may mga ibang tao talaga na sadyang ayaw gamitin ang silbi ng kanilang mga bibig. kahit ilang taon na ang pinagdaanan mo at halos alam na nila kung saan mahahanap ang mga nunal sa katawan mo, minsan, hindi mo pa rin sila kilala.

sila pa naman ang nagsabi na importante ang communication sa isang pagsasama. hindi lamang pag-aasawa ang pinaguusapan dito peor ang pagsasama ng lahat bilang kapamilya. pero bakit ganun, sadyang sila pa ang hindi gumagawa ng mga sinasabi nila. set by example ba.

tapos eto at may maririnig ka pa sa ibang tao. sa iyo lang ayaw magsabi, pero sa iba. dirediretso ang mga sumbat at reklamo. masakit lang sa loob kasi maririnig mo naman na madali naman silang kausap at kung may kailangan sila, hindi sila mahihiyang humingi ng tulong. pero hindi pala... lokohan lang pala. sa iba ko pa talaga malalaman... masakit...

sawa na ako umiyak. sawa na akong magmukmok na lang sa isang sulok. pero dahil sa mabait ako, papalampasin ko ang nangyaring to. pero pag naulit uli, hindi ko na alam kung ano ang pwede ko gawin. san pa ako kukuha ng lakas para kayanin to?

buhay nga naman...

how's the baby?

so far so good. baby and i are having the grandest time. as long as kuya kyle's not that playful especially when we're lying in bed and i'm putting him to sleep. he has this habit of putting his feet on top of me to make him sleep better and usually he places it on top of my tummy. so poor baby... but there are times that he's aware that there's a little baby growing inside mommie's tummy which he gladly kisses and laughs playfully after. one of my favorite moments i must say :)

so about our little baby baby bear bear... ( kyle's baby bear kasi). i'm feeling a little kick here and there during quiet moments but for now, it feels like little bubbles in my tummy or the impending feeling of passing gas. hehe but then it never happens so i know that was baby doing some excercises in my belly. the only complaint i have during this time is the frequency of going to the loo. when i was pregnant with kyle, i experienced this "incident" when i was on my last trimester. it's a bit baffling now that every hour or so i have this urge to pee. hassle on my part especially if i'm in the groove of doing my work which is very rare haha).

so anyway, here's what babycenter says about little baby baby bear bear...

How your baby's growing: At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, your baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. He's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in his lungs. His legs are growing longer than his arms now, and he can move all his joints and limbs. That means his hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although his eyelids are fused shut, he can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, he's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but his taste buds are beginning to form. And if you have an ultrasound, you may be able to find out whether your baby's a boy or girl! (Don't be disappointed if it remains a mystery, though. Nailing down the gender depends somewhat on how clear the picture is and the position of your baby during the ultrasound; he may be curled or turned in such a way as to keep you in suspense.)

as for that ultrasound bit, i'm putting it off in time for my birthday. birthday gift ko na rin sa sarili ko. =)

singit lang...
dun sa site ng baby-gaga. may mga calendar girls na preggy moms. yung mga nasa same week ko eh obvious na ang mga tummies. partida naman sa akin, 2nd baby na pero nde pa ganun ka obvious ang tummy ko. (naks!) pero humility aside, i can still fit into my regular clothes pa naman and praying i can start wearing maternity clothes when i reach my last trimester para tipid naman. =) i'll try to post a snapshot of my tummy para maniwala naman ang mga nagbabasa ng blog ko. wehehehe :P

yun lang naman so far... plugging na rin... visit naman kayo sa wedding blog ko. wala lang hehe

before i go full blast today at work, might as well do a little blogging on the side. share a few stories etc...

prison break, season 2.. (konting spoiler lang)

golly bananas! this is one addicting series! and thank god season 2 started already. thanks to a few good officemates who religiously download new episodes every tuesday (since it's being shown every monday night in the US) for the sake of us junkies here in the office. of course, after watching the first episode, as usual, it still remained a cliffhanger with new characters to boot. naku, dito na ba mahuhuli si scofield? ma-figure out na kaya ng FBI agent yung mga tattoo niya? and that FBI agent's a smart guy and a bit OC i must say. i also have this feeling na medyo same situation or attitude sila ni scofield. kasi na gets niya agad ang way of thinking niya eh. kakabilib!

pluto, no longer considered a planet...

bloghopped around and i got to read this article in wynzyl's blog and found out something fascinationg about pluto.. sadly, they don't consider it a planet anymore.. boo! read the full article here: http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20060824/ap_on_sc/planet_mutiny

so 8 na lang ang official planets natin plus a few hovering a few million miles away from pluto na wala pang names pero identified na. naku, pano na yan pag dating ng panahon na nagaaral na ang mga anak ko? ano kaya ang tamang sagot sa tanong na: "how many planets are there in the solar system?" mababaliw siguro tayong mga ina.

nakakaawa rin dun sa nakadiscover sa pluto na after all those years eh ganun na lang na mawawala ang planet mo sa solar system. siguro ngayon depressed siya kung buhay lang siya ngayon. heheh

my wedding blog..

wala lang. naisipan ko lang na mag create ng isa pang blog para lang sa ma wedding chenes ko. ayaw ko lang kasi ng cluttered look sa blog ko na to. kasi pang random drama and thoughts lang to. so better na lang for a wedding blog.

bisita naman kayo sa: NOT BRIDEZILLA kahit na 3 posts pa lang. trying to update naman ako eh. tsaka kung may gusto kayo i-share na ideas, go lang!

kyle the dancer..

natuwa ako kaninang umaga nung hinatid namin si kyle sa in-laws namin. saktong nanonood si shobe ng mga nursery rhymes. so etong anak ko, since gising na gising na at alam malaki ang walking area niya, hala sige ang lakad. tapos pag may gusto siyang song. hihnto yan at magsasayaw. with matching bending pa ng knees tapos mag twist siya from left to right. basta yun. i'll try to get it in video para ma gets niyo. hehe pag tapos na siya sumayaw, mag clap siya for a job well done sabay punta kung san ako nakaupo para maglambing. nakakatunaw ng puso no?

sale sa sm!

sana sept 1 na para ma experience ko na ang sale sa sm makati!! until sept 3 siya actually. at ubod ako ng saya! at least kahit paano eh makakamura sa pamimili ng mga gamit. gamit ko at mga gamit ni kyle at ang upcoming bebe. sa panahon kasi ngayon dapat nagtitipid at abusuhin yang mga sale na yan! hahaha wala lang excited na ako. tapos may nalalapit pang book fair sa world trade. nakakawindang!!

anyway, off to do some serious work na. mahirap nang kumita ng pera eh. hahaha sana sweldo na rin bukas!

my little boy..

a bit boring in my side of life.. so might as well list the achievements of my little boy. the love of my life =)

since he turned one, he knew how to:

> climb the stairs with our help. one foot per landing
> clibe the stairs on his own, but in a crawling fashion
> knows how to drink through a straw. even i was amazed when i saw this! it was just an experiment!
> can walk all on his own around the house. but sometimes has his drunken master moments
> can be potty trained soon since i've realized that he has a regular schedule of making poopoo and he has his special position when making poopoo. hehehe
> he knows how to replace the cap on his milk bottle
> can sleep on his own, provided i'm beside him so that he can still make siksik.
> he knows who dada, dadee, mama, nana, uncle peepee is. even in pictures!
> he laughs when he sees is pictures
> he knows how to stum a guitar
> can turn off and on the lights and any other switch he can get his little hands in.
> shockingly, but he knows how to put any appliance's cord in the socket. of course, with mommy saying NO! before he does put it in... but you know the act how to do it. yun.
> he knows ho to climb down my parent's bed. without any help

wow, i can't believe he just turned one a month ago and he knew all these things. i feel so proud. and i can't believe how smart my kid is. (oo na, stage mother eh)

the only thing i'm waiting for is to hear him say one complete sentence and with no baby talk! and i'm sure that's just around the corner... =)

pag bigyan ang stage mother...

wala akong magawa for now so eto. surfed sa net and found this cool image slideshow thingy... :)

enjoy!!

my new addiction..

yup. heard the reviews from people and they said the series is quite fetching especially if it deals with medical jargon and what happens in a hospital. in fairness, it's not as gory and icky as nip/tuck.

and of course, it makes you feel like you're one of them coz you can relate to the stress they're going through with a lower stress level for you compared to them.

Yehey... the review

someone reviewed our site and here's what he/she thought.. in a way it's a compliment compared to what he/she said about inq7. hehehe

http://www.noypi.com/blog/

care to comment on our site? :D

of predictions and that calendar...

i have been hearing comments from people who are aware of my pregnancy that this time, the baby i'm carrying will be or is a girl. and the usual thing i say is sana nga..

i'm not an avid fan of predictions but curiosity got the best of me. so i went to search for that ever talked about chinese calendar than can predict (take note, predict, not say) the possible gender of the baby depending on the woman's age and month of conception. so ok, here goes, trail error. hula na lang kung kelan namin ginawa si baby.. and guess what, the prediction i got was... a baby girl!!!

in fairness happy din naman ako. kasi i'm also hoping for a baby girl. pero kung boy uli. ok lang as long as happy and healthy ang magiging baby namin.

on another note, but still on the topic of baby #2, nakakatuwa ngayon si kyle. kasi after several days of teaching him na i have a baby in my tummy (kahit nde pa ganun ka obvious). pag tinanong ko siya " kyle where's the baby?" hahawakan na niya na ang tummy ko with matching laro pa ng navel ko. may fixation kasi siya sa mga navels eh basta, don't ask. hindi ko rin alam ang sagot. hehe so anyway, ang nakakagulat pa eh, pag sinabi ko sa kanya na "kiss the baby", kiss naman siya with matching mwah sound! kahit si pitoy natuwa nung nakita nya eh. o di ba, ang sweet na kuya?

in fairness, excited na ako sa baby na to... kasi kung girl nga, eh di ang saya mamili ng nga girly na gamit para sa kanya. and matuturuan si namin si kyle to respect girls and women better. medyo nagiging pilyo kasi.

anyway, yun lang. more updates soon! balik work muna!

babush!

laro tayo...

o, para sa mga fans ng deal or no deal....

plans for the future...

aishi and i are planning to push through with our plans to get married in church in 2007...

but of course, there are a lot, and i mean a lot to consider... and well... if you guys know anything that would be really helpful in the planning and of course, swak naman sa budget. if you want to know how much we plan to spend, pm me na lang...

bottom line, super simple lang ang plans namin for the wedding. as in close family and friends lang. more or less max guests would be 100. pero marami na rin yun for us. as in super intimate lang ang gusto namin.

your insights are very much welcome :D

naku, i might turn into those "brides" sa isang famous yahoo groups... na yun na lang ang laman ng blog nila!! wahaha sana naman wag.. wehehehe :P ( no offense sa iba ha?)

more details and ideas to follow.

baby updates

oo totoo nga! buhay pa ako at ang dakila kong blog eh nag hibernate lang muna. alam mo na medyo busy lang kasi ako kaya hindi na nakapag update ng maayos.. so anyway, try na rin kahit paano habang down ang site namin at hindi makatrabaho ng maayos. hehe


baby updates na lang muna...

so 3 months na si baby. still hoping na sana girl naman para complete na kami. actually may naisip na kaming name kung sakaling girl nga. since si kyle K X ang initials, we thought bakit hindi rin si baby. we were thinking of names while having dinner in dencios sa araneta, before watching the BEP convert (sa susunod na lang yung post na yan). so anyway, while waiting for our food, nagiisip kami ng names. and we finally came up with another KX initial. pag girl tong si baby, we will name her: Kirsten Xyrene. ang cute di ba? kahit ako naaliw sa pagkaisip namin ng name ni baby. pero pag boy... clueless pa kami and we really have no idea. hehehe any ideas? basta KX ha?

awa ng diyos naman eh i never experienced morning sickness. as in kahit paano hindi ako nagsuka. mga twice or thrice lang nangyari kasi either super busog ako sa dami ng kinain o nakalanghap ako ng usok ng yosi. lalo na yung mga masasamang tao na ganun ganun na lang bumuga. inaamin ko, smoker ako pero naman hindi ko naman binubuga ang usok ng all out at bigay todo noh. siyempre kahit paano may onting consideration pa rin and as much as possible onti o walang tao para safe. pero i think malabo na rin akong bumalik bilang smoker. sa totoo lang nagsawa na rin ako eh. yehey! so anyway, on the topic ng morning sickness, siyempre next eh itatanong nyo ano ang pinaglilihiian ko.. actually, paki tanong na lang kay pitoy kasi siya ang masayang lumalamon ngayon. hahaha pero seriously, siya ata ang naglilihi uli. kain ng kain tapos kung hindi gigil na gigil kay kyle sa akin. pag gabi ang hilig sumiksik to the point na naiipit na ako at onti na lang ang space ko sa kama. mas lugi pa ako kung kasama pa si kyle sa bed namin. buti na lang eh, nakakatulog na rin siya ng tuloy-tuloy sa crib nya.

last saturday, balik ako sa ob ko for check up. i check na daw nya kung mariring na ang heartbeat ni baby using the doppler. para itong high tech na mic na ilalapit sa may puson mo o kung san man ang location ni baby. so chika-chika muna kami ni doc. tapos sabi ko sa kanya eh never pa narinig ni pitoy ang first heartbeat check ng baby using doppler. sawi siya kay kyle kasi medyo strict yung dati kong ob. so buti na lang mabait tong si bagong ob ko. so andun siya sa room kasama namin at ayun na nga, narinig niya for the very first time. tuwang tuwa ang soon to be daddy again. niloko ko pa na kung naiiyak ba siya. tawa lang siya pero sa loob ko eh feeling ko pinipigil lang niya yun. hehe tapos nun, ultrasound naman para ma check ang vital stats ni baby. siyempre on a roll si pitoy so sama din siya sa room. ayun naman, nakita niya ang look ni baby. medyo parang alien pa kasi 3 months pa lang. pero in fairness sobrang active at normal lahat ng stats. complete fingers and toes. thank god! =D hopefully sa next ultrasound eh time to check the gender na. and according naman sa ob ko. ok naman lahat. maayos ako and the baby. (next time ko na i upload ang pics nya, nagloloko nanaman ang blogger... )

so yon, so far ang updates sa baby namin.

next on the agenda:
> kyle's bday party
>kyle's first haircut experience
>BEP concert
>other happenings

utang na post

on a rainy wednesday...

woke up a bit early today... woke up because i heard the rain outside our windows. it was raining hard. the room was cooler than usual and everybody was sleeping longer. goint to the office was a blur.

sitting here in my cubicle, watching the clock slowly tick tock its way to i don't know where. and i'm drowsy, sleepy. seriously, i haven't done anything yet that is considered work. too sleepy. this weather is really making me sleepy than usual. not discounting the fact of course that i also found out that i'm 2 months pregnant.

i'll try to get a bit of a shut eye before i head for lunch. i can't control it anymore...

see you in dreamland! *wink*
