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 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..

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
