The Ikea High Chair

high chair copy

This high chair was really durable. It has been used by 4 babies in 4 years! I love that my baby Cate and the baby on my tummy can still use this one. No need to buy a new one. Saves us a lot of money and time. My brother bought this in Ikea Kuwait and was brought here via balik bayan box. Cate loves to stay in this high chair. She is so behave when she is here. I can cook, do the dishes and even sweep the floor. I hope my next baby will love this high chair as much as her Ate loves it.

Graduating Soon

Soon I will be expecting 2 graduation invitations, one from a dear friend and one from my cousin who will graduate from collage this October. That is if I am really invited but according to our latest conversations they want me to be there on their special day. I love attending graduations. It feel like I am the one graduating again. It is one of the most treasured celebrations in one’s life. I am sure this 2 celebrations will be grand as they are both an only child. Congrats to you both my dear!

Thrilled With the News

My friend messaged me on YM and was thrilled with the news that I am pregnant again. She is one of the closest friend I have and I forgot to tell her as soon as I found out. yes what a great friend I am. Thankfully she is ok with that and she understands. I am happy to have a friend like her. I hope to find more friends like her. She said she will just finish browsing the site www.wholesaleinsurance.net and then she will visit me later. I cannot wait to see her!

Misua

IMG_4407

I am craving for a Misua right now and it is just 9am!!! My goodness! I must go to the grocery and get some ingredients for this so I can cook this later for lunch. I have a very weird taste right now that I am pregnant again. My mind doesn’t cooperate with my taste buds. After eating what I think I like to eat for the day, my taste buds rejects them. =( I don’t know if I am gaining weight or not. I am always hungry. This baby inside me is getting all the food in my tummy and all the energy I have. Poor Mama!

Pregnant Again

I am now allowed to wear maternity clothes once again as I am 8 weeks pregnant already. Yes that fast! This is totally unplanned but this is what God planned for my family. I am worried at first because Cate is still a baby and I wanted to spend more time with her alone. But after some advice from friends and families i was able to accept that we will be going to be 4 already! And we are so grateful with this blessing that God gave us. Thank you Lord!

Hungry

I wanna eat dinner now. I am so hungry already! huhuhu!

Will just preheat the rice on the rice cooker and put the soup in the microwave oven and then we are ready to eat. I will continue my hunt for some cheap hp laserjet ink cartridges for our printer later. Thank God Cate is sleeping. I can finish this blog first and eat dinner with hubby. I heart my free time whenever my baby is sleeping. I can move and do house chores at the same time. I know it will take time to gain my freedom back as Cate is just 8 months old right now. I am committed to taking care of her and see to it that she grows up well. I hope I am being a good mom to her.

Ok time to go to the kitchen now and satisfy my hungry tummy. =)

Movies

Ever since Cate was born I haven't visited the movie house yet. I missed watching new movies at the big screen. Now what I do to catch up on great movies being shown is that I download them online and watch it with hubby before going to bed. I am currently downloading 3 movies and hopefully it will finish soon so I can watch it in our house. Internet here at my parents house is faster than my connection at home. Now I will just do some researching on where to buy feather flags and then I am off to look for a new movie for downloading. Tah tah!

Kusido

IMG_4353

I want to have a soup for my lunch today and thank God our maid cooked Kusido. It was really delicious I almost had my second take. But I was full already so I stopped myself. I love having a sour Kusido. I love the soup with lemon in it. There is still a few left for dinner but I din’t eat it as I wanted to try another menu that our maid prepared today. I had b-b-q for dinner. yum!

Bothered

As I was looking for the toro zero turn mowers for dad, I was distracted by the loud sound from outside. Turn out it was my husband who was testing his newly formed motorcycle. Great! Cate is now wide awake because of that. I always got bothered by loud sounds. It is really irritating to the ears! What more to a sleeping baby. I need to tell the husband to keep it low. Now I need to attend to my irritated baby. Bye for now!

Slowest to the Highest Level

My internet that is. It takes forever to load a page! I need to work plus check a lot of things right now. My time is very limited in using the internet as I am the only one taking care of my daughter. I need to take advantage of the time while she is sleeping. I need to move fast but what can I do if this internet is not cooperating? Argh!!! You are so smart SMART!

Where oh Where?

I was looking for the other day the brand name baby monitors that i got from a friend. Hubby said he kept it but cannot remember where. Oh well it will just show up when we aren't looking for it. we will just wait for it to come out. hahahahaha!

I am hungry already! And the best thing is that I am lazy to get up and get something to eat. I will just drink some water later. That will satisfy my hungry tummy.

From A Despedida Party

I was looking for some blackhawk holsters when my sister came home from a despedida party of a friend. It's already 1am! Oh well she is big already and she can handle herself now. Unlike before where dad will have to fetch her from the venue.

I am still wide awake at 1am. I am finishing some tasks because it is due already. I cannot do this if Cate is awake as I won’t finish it on time. Now I am almost finish and I will hit the sack later.

Good night/morning everyone!

A Friend’s Offer

While checking on the rv insurance site, A friend messaged me on YM that she was selling some imported brand of colonge. I am not allowed to wear any perfume or cologne as Cate’s pedia said she will just develop her asthma with that. So I opted not to wear one anymore. I just told my friend that I will pass this time. She offered to me the other time some soap and I got some as a gift for friends. My daughter’s health is more important to me now than smelling good. =)

Long Nap

Today I worked longer hours on my laptop. Cate’s afternoon nap was longer than the usual. Thank God! I was able to scrap and check my facebook account. I guess she was catching up on the lack of sleep the other night. She kept on waking up in the middle of the night. I was trying to join her to take a nap but sleep was no where to find! Ugh! I closed my eyes but nadah I am not that sleepy. So I just worked and scrapped. I wasn’t able to finish my layout but I am thankful I was given a chance to start a page. will share them here soon.

Cate’s Sleeping Pattern

Before I read these oxyelite pro side effects I would like to tell you all that I am so lucky that Cate is a good baby. She sleeps most of the time. I love it so much! I can work, check my FB, delete my unimportant emails or scrap while she is sleeping. I also have time to clean our bedroom or prepare her bathing paraphernalia. I also have time to eat my breakfast, lunch and dinner.

Thank you so much Cate for being a good baby. Mama and Papa are so happy that you belong to us. You are one amazing baby girl! We love you so much!

Breakfast Yesterday

IMG_3914

I usually wake up when Cate is awake already. That's like 6 or 7am. I take care of Cate first, change her diapers, feed her and put her back again to sleep. After that I will take my breakfast and go online.

Yesterday morning my routine got messed up when I slept late that night and hubby took Cate when she woke up. So I think I got up at 8am, went online and surf the web for the look of an exam table while Cate is sleeping again. Why I was looking for an exam table? It was on my dream! I wanted to see what it looks like. Maybe that way I can remember why there is an exam table on my dream. haha!

Oh the photo above is making me hungry now at 2:30am! Yaiks!

They Left Us

My sister with my brother’s family went to the mall and they left us. Well, we opted to be left behind by the way. I don’t have money to spend that’s why. haha! And oh my husband is working on a weekend. Ugh!

I already did the grocery the other day and the pending “to buy” on my list can wait till next week anyways. My sister’s agenda at the mall is to bring her puppy named Xia for a vaccine and my brother’s family will take Nadine, their child, to the arcade. They will also check an exam table for my sister in laws friend. And I have work to finish because it is the deadline today. Will just visit the mall next weekend. Enough of being sad about being left at home. I love being online! =)

Something Borrowed Movie

I love the book so much so I patiently waited for the movie which was shown in theaters last May 6th. I cannot leave my baby so I just downloaded on the internet. It was not a good quality but for the sake of my curiosity I watched it. And I LOVE IT!!! You should watch it too!

Something-Borrowed-Movie-Poster

 Here is the plot of the movie:

Ginnifer Goodwin plays Rachel, an unhappy, single, talented attorney working in a New York law firm. Rachel drinks too much on her 30th birthday and wakes up to find herself in bed with Dex (Colin Egglesfield}, the man whom she has had a crush on since law school. The problem is that he is also her best friend Darcy’s (Kate Hudson) fiance. Relationships are tested while a long-time trusted friend, Ethan (John Krasinski), stands by Rachel with a secret of his own The film also stars Colin Egglesfield, John Krasinski and Steve Howey under the direction of Luke Greenfield.  (from http://www.starmometer.com/2011/02/19/something-borrowed-movie-poster-trailer/)

My sister is now watching it. Will ask her verdict later. Time to look for a coogi as a gift for my dear friend who will be celebrating his 28th birthday next month. Coz I might forget to get it for him.

Bye!

Happy Saturday!

Today is so hot! (the sweaty kind)

I took a bath at 9am and now it’s 10:30 and my body is sticky already! Gee! I have to take a bath again later for sure!

Cate will take a bath now because I am sure she feels hot as well. The weather is crazy!!!

Instagram Love

instagram

I heart instagram so much! But right now I don't have wifi here at our house so I am not able to use my iphone to connect to the internet. I miss posting everyday photos there. I cannot wait to have a wifi connection here or go to my parents house on weekends. Thanks to the web version of the app, I can at least view the photos being shared there by my friends, comment and like it. That way I am not missing that much on the latest news on instagram. If you haven’t tried this app then I definitely recommend it.

I Cannot Live Without…

Hubby and I talked about things important in our lives. And I told him that I cannot live without my laptop and the internet. He never answered me back but I guess his answer will be his cellphone. You won't see him without his cellphone. I told him that I will Sell Gold if he leave his cell behind. But I don't have gold much more he will never ever leave his cellphone behind. haha! I am such n idiot doing a bet like that. Anyways, My two loves are sleeping already and I should be joining them now but I need to work first so can get some new clothes for my baby dear. I cannot wait to shop for her once again. I am one excited mom!

Anne’s 5th Birthday

DSC_9145

This is our maid’s daughter Anne. She celebrated her 5th birthday last April 28th. I got her a cake and bought some bihon for her mom to cook. It was just a simple celebration but she enjoyed it so much. Nadine is her only guest but it was a great party. They played until evening. I am so happy that I made someone’s day happy. Happy birthday Anne!

Weekend at my Parents House

We always see to it that we spend time with my family every week. I love going at my parents house to catch up with them. I love hearing stories on how’s their week went. All of my family members are there. My sister who is always out is present too! We exchanged stories on the things that happened to us and I love it that I got to know that their week went good. My sister and I talked about the royal wedding. She haven’t seen the entire wedding coverage so I told her some observations I got. She told me about the personal injury lawyers Tucson later on and I was like “I don’t know anything about that topic. Change it please. haha!” I had a great weekend spent with my family and I cannot wait for next weekend. It will be another day of catching up and bonding time.

Trip to the Grocery

We went to SM save more this afternoon to get some groceries. I am with Cate, my hubby and our maids daughter. I love getting our groceries at Save More. It has less people shopping there and lots of stuff that I cannot find at the mall. Also there are fresh meat and fish which hubby and I love. Parking is not that good though as space is very limited. We did our groceries for an hour I think and that was really fast for us. I heart this store!

Bored Who?

We are back from our Holy Week Vacation. We are out for 4 days and that was really long, specially for my husband. Hubby was not complaining though but I know he is sometimes bored. Thank God there is a place there who has billiards with complete billiard supplies. He sometimes play and sometimes just watch to entertain himself. Thank God he is not that bored there while I am busy bonding with my relatives.

Gorgeous Dresses

My niece Nadine will be a flower girl for the cousin of my sister in law. They will get married on April 16th. My SIl showed a photo of Nadine this evening and she is soooo cute! Too bad I cannot share it here as it is on my SIL's phone. I wonder what are the bridesmaid dresses. The dress of the flower girl is gorgeous already what more to the bridesmaids. I hope my SIL will take lots and lots of photos so I can see those dresses too. I cannot attend the wedding as I need to take care of Cate.

Beauty Help

Anyone can give me some skin care tips so I will at least have a healthy skin? I was having problems lately on why my face right now is getting a lot of pimples. Oh well I am the only one to blame as I never take care of my skin that much. I always go to sleep without washing my face. Ewwww! I am too lazy to go inside the bathroom and wash my face. And even if I do remember, I will just wash it with water and that's it.

I am thinking about how I will look like when I reach old age and I am so afraid that I will look terrible. I badly need help!

Nikon F50 Camera

IMG_3368

My sister owns this old film camera. She used this when she's still in college and took a subject for photography. She was the one who taught me how to use my camera. She told me that it is so nice to develop a photo inside the dark room and that she misses doing it. We hope to find a dark room so she can develop great photos again. A friend of hers would like to join too! I never experienced going inside the dark room so this will be a first to me and I am so excited already! Now all we need to do is to ask around if there is available dark room with developing materials in it. And let us use the room for a day or two. My excitement is the same as getting a new PS3 Move. haha!

I heart Adobo

IMG_3393

I super love dried adobo. Specially if our maid cooked it. I will have extra rice whenever we have adobo on our table. I can also cook this one. My MIL taught me how. And I am happy that adobo is my specialty. Though I cannot promise that it tastes good. =) haha!

Ok now I am hungry again. Will just look for an alternative on the adobo. It’s 12am already and adobo is not a good midnight snack!

Photos

elibby-11

My sister in law always updates us with their life in the US through photos. It feels like we live next to them even if they live miles and miles away whenever I see their photos. I remember one photo with my brother in it suited in his nursing scrubs before going to work. He was doing this very weird pose and I was laughing really hard about it. That photo made my day!

Photos are a big part in communicating these days. Even if you don’t talk to your love one orally, send them just photos and they will know how’s your life. If you are doing good or not.

Backing Up!

backup-to-dvd

I am backing up all my photos and scrapbook kits on DVDs now. I am so afraid the other day when my laptop died. I was thinking this is the end of my 2 year old laptop . But when I looked at the charger it was not connected. Thank God the cause of the blackout is only the battery. I got panicked there! So even if my laptop is fine I am backing up my files. What if it is not the battery that is the problem? All my important files will be gone in a minute. Yaiks!

Pray for Japan

With all the things that are happening in Japan right now all we can do is pray. Only God knows when these calamities will stop. I just hope that 2012 is not true. I am so scared just by thinking of it!

I watch CNN to get updates on Japan. Everything is so heartbreaking! I saw some people crying and looking for their love ones. And for sure they will need the disability application later on for those who was injured my the Tsunami.

We can never tell what will happen in the future all we need to do is to help each other to move on and pray.

God Bless us all. God Bless Japan.

New Point and Shoot

panasonic_lumix_lx5-529x400

Not mine though it’s my moms. =)

My mom wanted to have a new camera and she was asking me what are my recommendations. So I told her to get the LX5. This camera have great reviews plus almost all of my twitter friends have this camera. And they told me that it is worth buying. I wanted to own one too but since mom bought this already I will just get the newly released Olympus Xz-1. It is still pricey and not yet available on my favorite camera store. I will also wait for the price to lower down a little bit. =)

Birthday Plans for my Catie

Now that Cate's baptism is now finished, I can finally start planning her 1st birthday party which will be in October. I am already looking for ideas for her theme. I was thinking of a princess theme but it is too common already. I want something never done before. But the problem is if I find a theme that is unique will I be able to find giveaways and other stuffs for my baby's birthday? And also will I be able to fund it? Might try the personal loans that a friend suggested a few months ago. Gosh! all these party planning is harassing me already to think that the event is still happening in 7  months! Ok time to rest my mind first in this early planning, I have a lot of chores to do. Later!

The Impact Wrench

DSC_1201

I asked a friend to buy this for my husband as he kept on borrowing my uncle's impact wrench. It arrived last month and hubby was so happy about it. I am not yet sure if he already used it. The last time I asked him he said he doesn't want to use it yet as it might get dirty. LOL! My husband is so funny!

He plans to try the camacho triple maduro buy online as he wants to give it to his friend who is celebrating his 38th birthday in April. Men are really more on either gadgets, tools or cigars.

Baptized

IMG_9068

Cate is now a Christian.

She was baptized last February 27th at St. Jude Thaddeus Church in Legazpi City. The celebration went well. Guests enjoyed the event and we are so glad they did. Kids enjoyed as well. They played with the balloons at the reception after eating. I super love the decoration of the venue which mom made. Thanks mom!

I cannot wait for the next party planning which will be Cate’s 1st birthday! And it will be in 7 months! Yaiks! I am already looking for possible theme for her party.

Recent Me

Yaiks! I saw a recent photo of me and I badly need acne scar treatments. There are scars which I never noticed before. Now they are getting larger and larger. Multiplying and invading my cheeks! My smooth face during my pregnancy are gone now. I am so sad. If only I can be pregnant all my life. hahahha! Oh well I know that with the treatment I will be fine soon.

Mom’s Bake Mac

IMG_2635

This is my mother's yummy bake mac. You can skip taking phenphedrine first and have a bite on this one. haha! I requested mom to make one last monthly birthday celebration of Cate. And I am so happy when she started making it in the afternoon. I was so excited to taste it! Due to unavailability of ground beef, mom used corned beef instead but the taste is still good! I loved it! Hubby loved it too! I asked mom how to make this one as I am planning of making it as well when we return to our house soon. This can be a good snack for me and the husband. Oh well, this food is making me hungry, I will check the kitchen now if mom cooked dinner already.  I need to stop craving for this! There’s no available ingredient to make this right now.

I Love My Iphone!

iphone_home

Before I read about the pre workout supplements let me say that I am so loving my iPhone right now. I am so thankful I have it. It gives me access to internet while taking care of Cate. Specially when I am breastfeeding her. I am still in the loop with the cyber world even if I am busy. You all know that I am an internet addict and I can’t live without the internet. I stay online 24/7. It is my world and my life is in it.

And I super love the Instagram app! I can take photos of my everyday life and post it in twitter, Facebook and Flickr, so my friends are still updated with what’s happening to my life as a wife, mom, daughter and friend. I guess I can’t live without my iPhone.

Why Babies Cry While Sleeping?

Do you really get scared to hear that your baby is crying while sleeping in the nighttime, but when you go into her room and you find that she is having a comfortable sleep? Most of the mothers really get confused that what is all this? Here, we are looking to make you calm and relaxed that baby’s cry in her sleep is not a matter to get worried. It is a common exercise of all the babies and it is not a matter of big concern for the parents.

Now let us reveal you the main reasons why babies are found crying during their sleeping hour as this is important for your newborn baby care. One thing must be very clear in your mind that cry, laugh, giggle, talk etc are very common observations during infants’ sleep. As we all know that the first couple of years of the life of a baby show a very rapid ratio of their growth and most of the growth occur in the sleeping time, therefore it is very normal for a baby to cry while sleeping.

One of the main reasons for their cry in sleep is due to the pain that they feel due to the growing teeth. It is a very painful experience for every baby, so it is natural that they will cry feeling this pain.

If you have found that this is not the reason why your child is crying. Then the other possible reason for crying may be the nightmare. There is always a chance that your baby is having painful dream that is becoming the cause of her cry. Whatever may be the reason, you should not worry because it is common in all babies and not a thing for what you need to get worried.

Now I know why Cate cries while sleeping. I am so worried she might be in hurt that's why she is crying. My poor baby. Maybe she is just having a nightmare or dreaming on the lipozene side effects that mom is blabbering about the other day. haha! Don’t worry baby I am not yet trying to take some diet pills. =)

We Matched!

DSC_1396

Look! The colors and patterns in our clothes matched! I didn't noticed that Cate and I are wearing almost the same clothes that day. Hubby told me about it and I was shocked that we really matched! I love the color combination in the photo. I love it! Hubby took the photos and as I view it in the camera I was already thinking of what patterned paper to use when I scrap this photo. hahahha! Talk about being a scrapper mom.

And oh did you notice Cate’s legs? Makes me want to eat them as I am imagining that they are chicken drumsticks! hahahha! Never mind my thighs I need usp labs oxyelite pro for me to slim down. LOL!

Touch Screen

I love borrowing dad's iPad. I love playing smurfs in it! He got it a few months ago. And he loves it to bits! How I wish I have one too or the blackberry Playbook. But I have my iphone so I am fine for now. But bigger screen will be the best. I need to save up for that as it is my wish for Christmas. I hope Santa is reading this post so He can give my wish on Christmas.

Over Time

I should be sleeping now as Cate is in dreamland already. I need to sleep when she is sleeping so I can have the energy for tomorrow. She is getting bigger and bigger my back is aching already at night. So I should rest and sleep to charge. But my tasks are waiting for me to finish as deadline will be tomorrow and I also need to find the best radar detectors for a friend who is asking for a link on where to get it. Sigh! this is the life I should be happy with it.

Juan For All, All For Juan

I was so touched by the story of the winning entry on Eat Bulaga's Juan for all, All for Juan today. The person who was picked is a graduating student and he is already 28 years old. He went back to schooling as he wanted to have those in demand technology jobs someday. He wasn’t able to take his exam yesterday because they don’t have money for his tuition. He was so lucky to be picked today. Now he can pay his tuition and take his exam tomorrow. I am so thankful for programs like what Eat Bulaga is doing. They give chances to poor people to hope and live. Thank You Eat Bulaga!

Oh Sleep!

I am still wide awake right now. I haven't slept yet as I am finishing my work. And I am almost done with it but I still can't sleep because Cate is crying and wide awake already! Yaiks! Plus I have to search for the Velo Bind that my sister is asking me to look for. Ugh! I am sleepy already! Please! let me sleep!

Running Shorts

I want to buy new running shorts right now. No not for me but for my friend who is into running. A few days from now she will celebrate her 28th birthday and I wanted to give her something she can use. And running shorts is what came into my mind. I just hope I can find a good one, all I see online are not that good to my eyes.

Finally!

My dear friend emailed me a few days ago. She is looking for a tattoo removal cream so she can remove her ex’s name in her body. They finally broke up after so many years of unstable relationship. I am so happy she called it off. She’s been g=hanging on to their relationship for so many years already. I am glad she came to her senses, LOL! I just hope she can find the right man who will love her completely. Good Luck my friend!

No Stretch Marks

Thank God I don’t have stretch marks on my two pregnancies. I think it runs in the family that we don’t have stretch marks. Mom don’t have stretch marks too when she’s pregnant with me and my 3 siblings. Her belly still looks good now and I admire it so much. We don’t need to find the best reducing stretchmarks product online. Yey!

I remember my sister in law who has stretch marks when she carried my niece and I was like “What on earth is that!?!” It’s gross! heheheh!

Slowly But Surely

This year I promise to watch my diet. That’s my resolution for years already but I am not able to accomplish it. But this time I need to be strict and really watch what I eat. After giving birth last October I weigh a little less than my pregnancy weight now. Slowly but surely. Nope I won’t be needing those best diet pills that my friend told me. I just need to be really careful with my eating habits. I am still lazy about the exercise thing but I am getting there. Discipline is what I need to practice as well.

Happy New Year!

I know I am late with this greeting. It’s been a week after the new year started. I was too lazy to do anything maybe because of the holidays. All I do is eat, take care of Cate, surf the net and help my friend to search for some available jobs for her. I don’t have the energy to blog, scrap and clean our room. Ugh!

This year I told myself that I will scrap more and document the milestones of my baby. But due to laziness I haven’t done this goal of mine. I need to push myself to do more creative stuff. I badly need to scrap. Procrastination, please go away!

So how was your new year? Let’s talk.

Catching Up

I talked to my dear friend whom I haven’t seen in 4 years last night. We catch up on our lives and I learned that she already have 3 kids. Wow! Time really flies so fast. It was like yesterday when we last saw each other being single and now we are married already and have kids. Wow that was fast! She brought out the conversation and talked about the medical carts she experienced a few days ago. I was not paying attention at that time so I won’t be able to go in the details on the story. hihihi! But Iwas glad to “see” her online. We agreed to meet when she go home next year.

Happy Holidays!

Xmas-Card_small

Merry Christmas everyone!

My Precious

DSC_6097

I am a new mom to this beautiful baby on the picture. I am so glad that I am breastfeeding her. But I need to learn more on how to produce more milk. I am thinking if Cate is getting enough from me. But as I can see on her development she is gaining weight, so yes I am giving her just enough. I am planning of giving her my milk for at least 2 years. I just hope I can last that long. She sleeps most of the time right now that’s why I can still blog. I don’t know if in the coming days she will still sleep more so Mama can work. =)

Coloring Contest

Nadine’s 2nd birthday party last November 14th was a simple one but the kids enjoyed the games. Coloring of Dora and Ben 10 prints was the most enjoyed game. My sister-in-law printed them on their office and have it photo copied at their xerox phaser 8560. We told them that it is a contest, the one who will finish coloring first will get a prize. And the one who gets the most stars will win a prize as well. The kids enjoyed coloring on the floor of our living room. It was a blast.

Good Morning!

I am busy working right now. I also need to scrap for my CTs. I am a bad CT member already!  And I don’t know where to start! Ugh! Maybe I will just start by reading more info about the rv insurance quote that my friend sent to my email a few days ago. Or go back to sleep first and recharge.

Cate is sleeping and she lets me dive in into my work. I just hope that I can finish this before she wakes up.

Bathroom Design

alex100610

My husband and I are talking a while ago about the renovation of our bedroom and bathroom soon. He was asking me on what things I want, like the color of the walls and the tiles the workers will be putting on our bathroom. I said I wanted something similar to the photo above. Tiled area will be only on the shower area and nothing on the rest of the bathroom. I also love the green color but I decided to have an orange bathroom. Yes a very bold orange. I am so excited with the transformation it will do for our home! Our life changed when our baby came last month and soon our house will also change! Woot!

Ok now I am off to check out the weight loss product that my cousin is asking me to look on the internet. She needs it badly.

Dad’s Shampoo

When I took a bath this afternoon, I saw lots of empty containers of shampoo and conditioners. Mom, I think you need to clean those up. I saw also dad’s shampoo for hair loss on the floor. I picked it up and shook it and found out that it was empty as well. I wanted to put it on the trash right away but I am afraid dad might still need it or take not of the label in it. He kept on forgetting things like those so I am putting it up again on the rack.

We Are Sick

Almost all of the people here at my parents house are sick. Cate, Me and my husband has colds too. Ugh! This colds is viral and we can’t avoid it. I just need to take extra care of Cate and I need to be well as I am the one who takes care of Cate most of the time. I am now looking for a good multivitamin for my husband. He never takes one as he is too stubborn to take one everyday. Don’t worry I will force him for the sake of being healthy everyday.

Ipod Nano

Maybe an 8g ipod nano is the perfect gift I can give for my friend who is addicted to music for Christmas. This friend of mine always borrows her sisters ipod nano and her sister is always pissed when she gets it without any permission. And if I save up a little higher I will surely give that to her. Wish me luck in working hard so I can satisfy my friends music addiction. =)

Recent Pic of Me and Cate

DSC_5424

This is my recent pic and as you can see my face is flawless here and I don’t need the best acne products in town. I edited this one on Adobe Lightroom. I love that software! But don’t let this picture fool you. I have a few pimples on my cheeks when this was taken. I just removed them when I edited this. =D And yes that’s my little pretty baby Cate in the picture. Isn’t she adorable and Cute? I love her to bits! I am so happy she is mine.

Slowly But Surely

Looking at those models below makes me want to take some weight loss product so I can attain that body fast. But I am slowly going back to my old weight and I am happy with it. Slowly but surely.

The other day I need to go to the bank to get the debit card that I applied last week and I need to wear good clothes and not maternity clothes. So I tried wearing my old jeans and a new blouse that my mom got for me. And it fits!

I am so happy!

Retro Costume

I am now looking for a retro costume for our Christmas party on December. I’ve seen these cute ones:

6828013 flowerpower

I really love the first photo. I hope to find one at the mall. But if I won’t find the same design I might ask my mom to make that for me. Mom is a very good seamster. I just need to buy fabric with great design.

On the other note I need to get the top cigars which I am planning to give to my baby on the exchange gift. Will be searching the web later when Cate is sleeping.

Annoying Sounds

I am hearing a lot of hammering every morning just when I was about to sleep. Ugh! It was really annoying! We are here at my parents house and there are workers doing some renovation at the backyard. I am so pissed as I need to sleep and Cate too. Sometimes we need to transfer to my parents room so we won’t be disturbed. But it was really a hassle transferring from one room to another. Sigh! I can only imagine if we are staying in the city with a lot of those steel buildings being worked on. It will be mind blowing! My baby might cry all the time as she will be disturbed big time!

Invest Now!

Did you ever think to invest in gold coins nowadays? I did! I was planning of investing into something that will gain fruit in the future for me and my family. Something to never think more of the future. I know that it may be a little bit expensive to buy those precious metals. It may be just a bit small investment compared to land investment, I know that it will still give me income when I am short of funds to buy stuff and other necessities that my family needs. This form of investment is the most common one in terms of investing.

Dora Party

Tomorrow will be my niece’s birthday. She is 2 already. We will be having a Dora themed party. Time really flies so fast isn’t it? It was just a few years ago when I was taking a picture of a little baby named Nadine and now she’s a cute toddler with full of wit! I am so thankful that she is my niece.

Happy Birthday Nadine! We love you so much!

Busy Day

today

I have a lot of things to do today. This will be a busy day for me. Tomorrow will be my niece’s 2nd birthday and I will be helping my sister in law to prepare for the things needed for the party. I also need to finish a lot of tasks. Some already expired as I was very sleepy last night. Oh well I know that God will still bless me with a lot of tasks even if I didn’t finished the one assigned to me last night. Plus I will be taking care of my little Cate. Busy mom here huh!?

Metal Investment

I heard mom telling my brother about the importance of saving up. My brother stays at my parents house and ever since he had a family they just relied to my parents all the time. Well I thank God that my family moved out of my parents house and surviving in our own house. I am also proud that I am thinking of saving up for my family. And guess what I am looking for a gold bar investment company who can offer me gold at low low price. Investing is the most reliable form of surviving the future. Even if the economy is bad you are assured that you can get something in the future. So why not visit US Gold Bureau site and start to get informed about precious metal investments.

Annoying

My friend is looking for the best web hosting since yesterday. And she kept on asking me about my hosting. I am so pissed already as I told her that a friend of mine is my host. Which doesn’t accept hosting as of right now. Now I am searching web hosting sites for her to make her stop. hahahah! Sorry friend but you are annoying.

Go Back To The Gym

My husband is thinking of going back to the gym next month. And I support him for that. He was doing that when we are still boyfriend girlfriend and I am so happy he is considering of going back. Being healthy and to  build muscles are his thing right now. Maybe he got inspired with the health magazines he got from the bookstore a few days ago. I hope this will last as he is the kind of man who easily get bored with what he is doing. Wish him luck!

Before Baptism

I want to enroll to a weight loss program now that I gave birth to baby Cate. I have a lot of pregnancy weight to lose. I think I am losing weigh little by little but I wanted to lose weight fast or at least get back to my pre pregnancy weight before my baby’s baptism. I also want to look good in the pictures. =) Talk about being a photo addict.

Our Old Christmas Tree Ornaments

Soon it will be Christmas time once again and as early as now I am seeing a lot of Christmas decors and christmas tree ornaments being sold at the mall. I am tempted to buy as I wanted to put up our Christmas tree now. Last year we set up the tree early. I think it is the month of October too when we decided to put up the tree. But I am on a budget right now so I will just have to be satisfied with the old tree and ornaments.

Welcome Cate!

I have been missing in action these past few days because I have given birth already to our baby girl. We named her Erica Charlotte and we will call her Cate. She was born a premie at 34 weeks via CS. Weighing 1.8kls only. But she is recovering well. She’s still at the hospital for photo therapy and antibiotics. I can’t wait for her to go home on Sunday.

Will keep myself busy by reading this colon cleanse article for now which my friend gave to me before I gave birth. And maybe find time to scrap. I badly need to release stress.

Meryenda Time!

canton

We’re having pancit canton this afternoon for meryenda. I am still full as I ate the leftover champorado. I will eat the pancit later when i feel hungry. But by looking at the photo above I am craving for it already! hahaha!

I love being pregnant. I can eat and eat and eat all the time! LOL! But I am watching my weight right now. I don’t want to have a hard time shedding some fats after giving birth.

Thinking About the Party at Fun Ranch

DSC_2919

I was looking for the led flashlights photo when I saw this balloon pic from my niece’s 1st birthday party. I remember how I enjoyed the party. I super love attending parties. And got saddened that there is a party happening today in Manila and I am not there. =(

A year from now I will be planning my baby’s 1st birthday as well. I still don’t think about it as right now my focus is to give birth to this precious baby of ours. I hope everything will be well handled when the time comes.

My fingers are crossed!

Best Form of Investment

I was thinking to buy gold today. This boredom made me think of anything. I am left at home with the family enjoying the birthday party of my nephew in Manila. I am just here doing some work and checking on FB to kill time. Poor me! I envy them so much!

Anyways, when I read from a friends blog about investing in gold. It made me think to do the same. I searched the net last night and found the US Gold Bureau site. It gave me lots of information about buying gold as a form of investing. You should consider investing in precious metals too. It is the best form of investment.

Dream Bedroom

fromthecloset

I am again obsessing on bedroom photos like this one. =)

Wouldn’t it be nice to have these simple yet elegant bedroom for you to stay and sleep in? Plus look at that space for the nursery. I really like it. My baby will surely love her own space too. And maybe some beading area which I would like to have one in my future bedroom. I would like to hang those beading tools I have on the wall and have a cabinet for my scrapbook stuff too. It is so nice to imagine all of the things you want for your dream bedroom. I hope this dream will come true soon.

Blog Hosting

My friend is into hosting blogs and I admire her dedication to doing this things. I have no patience at all in coding and techy stuff. When I need to get a new blog I asked her if she can host me. She managed hosting a few more blogs and I am thankful that she accepted my application for my new blog. Now I am not worried about my blog hosting as I have a friend who takes care of it well.

Horrible Accident

When my cousin had an accident a few years ago we all thought he won’t survive it, as the accident is really horrible. He was in bed for 3 months I think. But he was a fighter so he was able to cope up and had a hip replacement. His hip was the one badly injured. Thank God they don’t have to get the service of DePuy Hip Replacement lawsuit as he is fine now. He was thankful for the second life God gave to him. He take extra care now in driving and hope that accidents won’t happen again to him and to his family.

I love it that there are people concerned about the things that you go through. Just like the O’Hanlon, McCollum & Demerath who is there to help you if you had a defective hip injury.

Gerry’s Grill

r_gerrysgrill

I asked my husband today if we can eat at Gerry’s Grill tomorrow. I am thinking dinner maybe.  But he turned me down. =( He has to work OT tomorrow. He needs to finish the bus as it has been a long time since it was not been repaired. It is not getting income and the drivers and conductors needs work too. Maybe we will just go to Gerry’s Grill on Tuesday as we have an appointment with my OB. I am dying to eat palabok there. I saw at my friend’s Flickr account the palabok photo and I feel like eating it. LOL!

Colorful!

Neon01_rect540

Wow!

I am a sucker for bright colors and these living room is love! I like the teal and lime green combination of colors with the table and chairs. I also want my house to be this colorful. I love happy things. I am a happy person and I want happy things to surround me and my family. Will try to scout for chairs like this one in bright colors. I hope I am lucky when I check the mall soon.

Living a Simple Life

I am so glad that we live in the province. It is easier to live here. No big time spending that much compared to the City living. A lot of my friends envy me for living here and having no problems at all. I eat foods cooked at home and not from fast food restaurants and I enjoy fresh air. If you were to ask me if I want to live in the city I would surely say NO. I love living the way I live right now. No hassle at all. And I can save up more as I don’t spend a lot of other essential things. Maybe investing in gold bullion will be a wiser move for me. I will think about it again in the coming days. I also need to be informed about this investing thing. I love living a simple life.

Three Framed Images

05bedroom_rect540

I like those framed images on this photo. I want to put one on top of our bed too. I will save this image and make this as an inspiration. Soon we will be renovating our bedroom and make it a bigger one. In preparation for the coming of the baby. I am so happy that this little bedroom will become a suitable master’s bedroom. We’ve been struggling with this tiny space since 2007. Yaiks!

Anyways, I will check the kitchen now for some snack as this baby is hungry already. Then I will ask my friend for the low cost term life insurance that she was trying to tell me since yesterday.

Later!

Best Weight Loss Pill

A friend asked me this morning what is the best weight loss pill for me. And I said I haven’t took pills in losing weight. I have plans in taking it in the future. I have a friend who got great results in her body when she took a pill a few months ago. I should ask her what pills she is taking and tell my other friend about it. After this pregnancy for sure I will gain weight. Just like how I gained when i gave birth to my first born. I just hope that it will be fast to get back to my old self.

Save Up!

My sister’s friend gave birth last Saturday to a very cute baby boy. And she was just 2 months ahead of me in our pregnancy. I asked my sister to ask her friend how much they paid for the hospital bills. And guess what??? 90 thousand pesos is the answer! My goodness! Where the heck will we get that amount if ever I gave birth? With the money matters that we need to attend to, my dream to buy gold is on hold for now. I will take care of that next year when we can already save up for the future.

Baby Room

morebigart1_rect540

What a very nice nursery room right? I like it as it has a lot of light coming in. Perfect for the baby… our dear baby. =)

I am so into hunting for a good nursery room lately. I am obsessed with those beautiful cribs, wall decors and baby stuffs. Maybe this is a frustration of not having a similar baby room. I just make myself happy from these pictures.

Oh well, I am OK with that as long as the baby is fine and healthy, who cares about nursery room. I should be more worried about the best hgh supplements that a friend is talking about. I need to get more information about it. She may ask me again about this next time we see each other.

Off to research on this matter. Bye!

Latest in the Community

Losing weight is the latest in scrapbooking community. A lot of designers and scrapbookers are putting trackers in their siggy’s to know how much they lost. As for me, maybe it is not yet time as I am pregnant right now. But I am not closing my doors for change. i also want to look good, be healthy and fit into clothes two size smaller than what I am wearing now. A friend took the plunge in losing weight but she is desperate now and tried Lipofuze. I haven’t seen her lately and well if she lost weight with that pill then I’ll take that into consideration as well.

Blue and Green

01bedroom_rect540

I was looking for the best fat burner when I saw this photo. It’s pretty isn’t it? This is a great inspiration for me. It will be so nice to sleep in that bed too. Big and soft. Love those graphics in the pillows too. I didn’t know that green and blue will look so good in bedcovers. Will ask mom if she can find something similar to this fabric as I would like our seamstress to make a new sofa cover. Our old one is already over washed and needs replacement. We only have one sofa cover imagine that!

 

Juvederm Reviews

I found mom reading this juvederm reviews the other day. I know my mom is a beauty conscious lady and I am glad she’s reading first before purchasing. She was I think traumatized with the previous purchase she made with the wrinkle cream that doesn’t work. She got a lot and I think it was a fake. Now she is more careful in buying things. That’s good Mom!

Beautiful Me

I’ve been a beautiful pregnant lady today. I mean I was not like this when I was pregnant with my first born. I look really horrible last time. With big nose, acne all over the face, chubby face and all. Ugh! That is why you hardly see any pictures of me when I was pregnant the first time. I am so glad that this time I am glowing. I can really say that as I compared my looks before and now with my pictures. And now I put effort in putting make up before I leave the house, put acne lotion to my face when I see a pimple popping out, put on good clothes, being more conscious on how I look when someone takes a picture of me. I am also more confident now. I can share photos of my preggy me over at facebook.  Maybe this is the perks of carrying a baby girl. I love it!

Precious Metal Investment

I am so thankful that I’ve been receiving a lot of blessings from my day to day life and from work. I cannot say that I am earning a lot but this is enough for me to buy things for the upcoming baby. I am thankful that God bless me with a lot of things. And I know that these blessings should never be taken for granted. I should take action in saving for the future of my family.

How I wish I can find gold bars in our backyard so I can use them as a form of investment. But I should not worry about this now as I found out that United States Gold Bureau is the leading company to provide metal investment needs. Do check them out if you are also interested in precious metal investments.

Personalized Christmas Ornaments

There are a lot of personalized christmas ornaments being displayed at the mall already! I can really feel the Christmas season now! BER month started already and in 3 months we will be exchanging gifts once again! Yaiks! Speaking of gifts I haven’t made my to-give-gifts-list! I should do it now or else I will cram once again just like last year! What about you? Are you done with your list already?

Graco Lauren Classic Convertible Crib - Espresso

211906367I was looking for a crib when I came across buy.com’s Graco Lauren Classic Convertible Crib. This is the one I am looking for. I love it! I know that this is the perfect one for my baby. But with the location where this is coming from I think it is not ideal for us to buy it.

With the frustration of not getting the perfect crib, I just browsed the site for a good deal. And I found this Best Buy Memorex 8x DVD+R Double Layer Media. I need to backup photos from last year and I need new DVDs to store them.

Love This!

2010-07-bline_sm1

What a very nice photo!

I love the big windows! Perfect for photo ops.

I also like the mirror with those circle stuff with different patterns.

I want a room like this one!

I wish!

Prayer For a Successful Pregnancy

My dear friend on twitter Dez gave me this link a while ago.

http://www.2heartsnetwork.org/pregnant.htm

Powerful is your intercession with God, Mary, for you are his mother. Tender , too, is your love for us, for you are our mother. Confidently , then, I come to you as a child, poor and needy, to seek your aid and protection. In every trial of motherhood, I beg your aid. For the grace of a happy delivery, I come to you. For your holy assistance in guarding  and directing each tiny soul with which God entrusts me, I call to you. In every sorrow that comes to me in my motherhood, I confide in you.

That I may have strength to bear cheerfully all the pains and hardships of motherhood, I lean on you. That the sweetness of motherhood may not through my neglect be embittered in later years by pains of regret, I trust in you.
That the will of God may always be fulfilled in me through each act of my motherhood, little and great, I beg your aid. Never forsake me dear Mother, my hope, my consolation, my confidence, and my trust, but ever be at my side to aid and protect me, your needy child. Amen.
Mother of Love, of Sorrow, and of Mercy, Pray for us!

Thank you so much Dez. I will surely visit this link everyday for my daily prayers. And I know that me and my baby will be safe because Mama Mary and Jesus is protecting  us.

Watches

My sister is looking for a watch right now. She was asking me where I got mine. I said I bought it online. And I suggested her to look at Lussori. She saw the IWC Watches for women there and fell in love with it. This is the particular watch that she loved:

watch How I wish I have the money to buy her that beautiful watch. But anyways I will still bookmark this site as they got the best range of watches for men and women. Or maybe we can ask our brother to buy this as Lussori is located on Main Street in downtown Los Altos, CA. It is just near where they stay in CA.

Second Hand Books

My friend Kathy decided to sell her chic lit books as it is just gathering dust in her bedroom. When she tweeted the link where she posted the books she was selling on twitter I clicked it and saw some books I haven’t read. I posted a sold message under each one immediately. Now I have these three books. I haven’t started reading them as I am still too busy right now. I can’t wait to start reading them.

Yellow And Teal Nursery Room

weinroth1-thumb-540x360This is a very beautiful nursery room. I love the colors of teal and yellow combined. This colors fit for a baby boy and a baby girl. But what stuck me the most is the crib. I love cribs like that. I hope to find something similar to that here in our place. I am addicted to nursery rooms like this. Maybe the frustration of not having a nursery room for my baby makes me addicted to look for photos of nursery rooms. haha!

Nice Start For Investment

It is already the 1st of September and I am thinking of Christmas already! Weeeee!!! I am so excited! This baby is the best gift we received and it is going to be an early Christmas present as she will arrive November 29th or earlier. Now I remembered that with the coming of this baby we need to secure her future. And I think this gold coins being offered at US Gold Bureau is a nice start for investment. One gold coin will come a long way in time. But it will be nicer if I can get more right? Will read more information about this kind of investment later.
