our new bed

2012-03-09T13:50:00.001+08:00

As promised!!! Finally, our new bed is done. Still waiting for it to be delivered and I am excited about it. I only paid like P19,000 for a 54x75 box typed bed w/ headboard & mattress, a small side table and a 30x75 mattress for our double-deck. It is cheaper compared buying at the mall.

Last Thursday and Friday, I had the chance to talk to hubby thru Skype before they left for Louisiana. He's happy to see Mika, Raine, and me.

Yesterday was Edsa Revolution anniversary and it's baby Raine's 2nd monthsary and my brother's birthday (whose in Singapore working in Star Cruise Virgo). I made him a birthday card and he likes it's, hehe...

Hubby and I decided na magpa-gawa kami ng bed namin kasi yung bed dito (where my 2 brothers stayed before) had 1 single bed and 1 double deck. Mika will sleep sa double deck bed below then kami ni hubby at Raine sa new bed. Nag-bigay ng update yung furniture na pinagawaan naman and baka by next week tapos na.

Thanks to all who commented on my previous entry! It's very hard for us to be apart especially to our daughters. Lahat naman kelangan merong sacrifices and this is also for us, lalo na sa kinabukasan ng mga anak namin. Before Valentine's Day (monday @ 12mn, their time), hubby woke up to talk to me kasi malakas ang signal. They are now sailing through Mississippi River, go to Bahamas. I hope there will be a wifi connection when they get to Bahamas.

As you remembered on my previous entry about hubby, bought Blackberry Playbook...Guess what??? He sold it to his co-worker and bought Samsung Galaxy Tab 7 inches. Here's a photo of him below using the tab:

Good evening to all! Yesterday, had a chance to talk to hubby twice while they were still sailing (passing Mississippi River). Been talking more about Mika, going to school this school year. Mika will enroll in my Alma mater, Davao Christian High School (Nursery 1).

hubby woke me up thru txt that he's online

hubby's online again after their bunkering and it's almost 3am (their time)

DCHS Grand Alumni Homecoming 2012

2012-02-05T20:27:00.000+08:00

Attended Davao Christian High School's 5th Grand Alumni Homecoming last night, hosted by Batch 87. As usual, only 5 of us attended the said event. It was a different event compared to other batches that hosted the alumni homecoming. We laugh so hard as Ms. Marissa Sanchez entertained us with songs, impersonate some showbiz singers and artists and making "okray" especially to my former teacher Sir Oscar "Oca" Honorario. It was a BLAST last night, medyo it was bitin lang. Limited time lang kasi yung alumni, almost 12mn na ata natapos ang event. Too bad didn't win the raffle, which are mostly cellphones (LG Octane). Will share some photos below.

i love Hello Kitty!

2012-02-03T17:33:00.000+08:00

I really love Hello Kitty! The truth??? I'm addicted to Hello Kitty stuffs!!! I don't know why but I really love Hello Kitty!!! Yes, I'm kinda childish a little but you can't blame me for loving Hello Kitty. When my 1st daughter was born, I bought her HK stuffs and shirts. In my 2nd daughter, thinking of buying also HK stuffs to her too. As for me, I'm buying/collecting HK stuffs also. Below are some stuffs that I bought:

As of this moment, I have additional oders:

busy

2012-02-01T18:36:00.000+08:00

Been busy for the past few days. Last monday, went to the pedia of baby Raine for her monthly check-up. I also let her pedia see her belly button because it's bulging out. She said that if it will get big, she will refer me to a surgeon. It says in a website I read, an umbilical hernia is an outward bulging (protrusion) of the abdominal lining or part of the abdominal organ(s) through the area around the belly button.

After talking taking to the pedia, Mika and I went to the salon to get a haircut. My haircut was fine but Mika was not, it's not straight. That's why my mom and my aunt cut it straight and it looks better.

this was taken after my mom & cut it straight

Today is baby Raine's 1st monthsary birthday. Ang bilis niyang lumaki, super. Ang lakas niyang mag-milk sakin pero paminsan parang medyo kulang sa kanya yung milk kaya sige siya iyak, but sige parin naman labas. Kaya I decided na bigyan siya ng formula milk, I chose Nestle Nestogen 1 Infant Formula.

Kahapon pala, nagulat ako kasi nag-online siya when they arrived in Bahamas. Kasi never sila maka-online sa Bahamas kasi walang signal dun, siguro mahina ang signal at hindi siila naka-dock sa port. I was very happy kaya kinunan ko siya ng picture at pati siya kumuha ng pic niya with the background, will share 2 photos.

took a picture of him while talking sa Skype...

Thanks to all who greeted me on my birthday and our anniversary, salamat kaayo! Been transfering photos from our desktop downstairs to my laptop and I saw a 2007 video of hubby playing with their pitbull dog Bison. Pasencya na sa dialect, may nahalong bisaya...

Nagutom ako bigla kaya nagpa-bili ako ng Chocolate Eclairs, super saya ko kasi super fave ko siya masyado lalo na pag-chocolate.

Had fun talking/chatting with hubby this evening (6pm), he woke up 4:30am (Louisina time) just to talk to us and also because malakas ang signal pag madaling-araw dun.

pre-double celebration

On my sidebar, I added Google Friend Connect. Please do follow me and I will follow you also as well. Thanks! =)

Today, I'm exactly 33 years old. Yesterday I celebrated my birthday and our 6th anniversary ni hubby. Ang wedding anniversary namin ni hubby is sa Jan. 20 pa that's why it was a pre-double celebration. It's just a simple dinner with my parents, my aunt, my brother, his wife and daughter.

our little dinner...

2wks & 2 days

2012-01-10T16:50:00.000+08:00

Today, baby Raine is 2wks & 2 days old. Super lakas niya mag-milk, as in pure breast-feed siya like Mika. Naka-tipid kami ng milk nung nag breast-feed si Mika, 2yrs mahigit din.

baby Raine & mommy...

Yesterday, had the chance to chat/talk with hubby when they arrive at Rio Haina. We had important conversations like what school will Mika be this school year and also the budget, of course. I also asked him if how's their new year celebration, and he said not that good. No fireworks, only food and he won in a "pa-bingo" 2 Drambuie Whisky worth P3,000 each. He opened 1 bottle and the other one he will bring it home as a gift.

Hello 2012!

2012-01-01T12:59:00.000+08:00

Happy New Year To All! It's the 1st day of 2012 and I think ang iba meron pang hang-over, hehe...As for us here sa Davao, BAWAL ANG PAPUTOK! We only use torotot, bells, malalaking bakal na pinapalo, and many more basta maingay lang. Si Mika naman wala pang new new year tulog na kasi napagod kakalaro kay Chloe yesterday afternoon at medyo may ubo't sipon pa siya. Same with baby Raine, tulog nung New Year.

Baby Raine

Before New Year's Eve, I had a chance to talk to hubby while they were leaving Louisiana binabaybay ang Mississippi River going to Bahamas. Imagine, palabas lang ng Louisiana it takes 12 hours. Pero I am happy and Mika also na maka-usap si hubby before mag-New Year. Sila naman mag-celebrate dun sa barko, kainan lang walang fireworks kasi nasa gitna ng dagat sila.

Mika wants daddy to smile

ito yung boat na on board si hubby, look how BIG it is and super small ng mga tao sa ilalim.

Baby Raine

2011-12-28T13:22:00.000+08:00

Gave birth to Baby Raine, December 25, 2011 at 12:40pm and she's 5.5 pounds. Early morning on December 24 I had fever, colds and sore throat. I was so sick, nasa bed lang ako the whole day hanggang mag-noche buena. Early morning on December 25 at about 3am, I went to the hospital because I was bleeding already. When I arrived at the hospital, I was still 3cm but still little contractions. That's why I was enduced and that's the time na diretso na ang contractions ko. I was really in pain, grabe. Para bang it's my 1st time to gave birth, hehe..HAPPY HOLIDAYS TO ALL!

2 days to go

2011-12-23T12:42:00.000+08:00

2 days to go, it's CHRISTMAS already! Talked to hubby last December 19, they were in Rio Haina. They stayed there for 2 days and super happy that we talked especially Mikaela. As of this moment, they are sailing to Baton Rouge, Louisiana and they will arrive on the 24th or 25th this December.

Daddy wants to make faces with Mikaela =)

When they left Rio Haina, I opened his FB account and there I saw some photos of him with his co-workmates. He's too "tamad" to take photos, hehe...I asked his co-workmate if I can grab some photos and he said yes.

Hubby already left for Bahamas, they will go back to Rio Haina next week. I told him to take a photo of him with his co-workers but he said they were all busy chatting/talking with their love ones. Kaya I told him to take a picture of him na solo lang kasi yan lang ang kaligayahan namin ni Mika while he's far away from us, hehe...Taken on board the ship na ang background city lights ng Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

Have a happy weekend everyone & God bless! =)

Confused

2011-12-04T18:09:00.002+08:00

Thanks to all who commented on my previous blog. Last week my mom, her sister, Mika and I went to Smart. My mom renewed her Smart Plan for another 2 years pero pina-downgrade niya from Plan P1,800 to Plan P800. She had to choose from 3 cellphone units, Nokia C3, Samsung Corby 2 or Sony Ericsson Xperia 8. She chose Sony Ericsson Xperia 8 but there was no stock available but the sales in-charge na nakausap niya suggested to get the Samsung Galaxy Young S5360 kaya that's what she chose na kunin.

Ako naman, super nainggit kasi I want touch-screen and a friend of mine told me to get iPhone 4S pero ayaw ni hubby kasi mahal eh, aabot ng $600++. That's why I told hubby na Samsung Galaxy S2 na lang na color white sakin but I'm still confused kasi sabi ng isa pang friend ko na maganda din ang Blackberry Torch 9860. Tuloy, hindi ko alam anong pipiliin ko sa dalawa kasi both are nice. If kayo ang tatanungin ko, alin ang gusto niyo for me? hehe... ^_^

Sila hubby dumating sa Louisiana at bumili agad siya ng Blackberry Playbook, hindi nakapag-tiis.

It's almost midnight and I don't know what to type. About the title, hubby texted me at 3pm this afternoon (1am their time). There's no wifi connection kaya text message lang kami. They arrived in Tela, Honduras and he's very tired sa work niya kasi naman nag-overtime sila. He immediately said that he will sleep because he will work again as soon as he wakes up. After almost 7 hours of sleep, he texted me again that he will take breakfast and go back to work and he told me that tomorrow they will leave for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Maganda pala sa Tela kasi pwede din siyang toursit spot for vacation. Below is the map of Honduras North Coast. Happy Weekend everyone!

Super Happy

2011-11-23T10:40:00.000+08:00

Thanks sa lahat who visited my blog and commented, I also linked your blogs (as you can see at the right side, lower portion). My tummy is now 34 weeks & 3 days. Regarding to your questions about what hubby's work is, he's a Seaman. Nasa tanker ship siya doing welding stuffs, also called as "Fitter". I'm so happy again because naka-usap ko ulit si hubby last week when they were in Port Rio Haina in Dominican Republic. Si Mika din tuwang-tuwan makita daddy niya, kasi parehas silang makulit. Hubby said sa December nasa Louisiana sila ulit at tuwang-tuwa si hubby kasi sale dun. Sabi ko nga bilihan niya ako ng signature bag, hehe...For now, hintayin ko ulit call ni hubby when they arrive in Louisiana. Will share photos again, God bless and happy Wednesday! =)

Mika & I just woke up talking to hubbby while taking breakfast...November 19, 2011 (morning)

Talked to hubby before we went to bed. Mika said, "Daddy Makulit" to his photo...November 19, 2011 (evening)

Asked hubby to smile so that I can take a picture and that's the way he wanted to look, all the time...Wacky parin kahit kulang sa tulog, hehe...November 20, 2011 (evening)

33 weeks & 3 days

2011-11-16T11:04:00.001+08:00

Thanks to all who visited and commented on my blog! If you comment on my blog, surely I will visit and comment on your blog also. What's with my title? Well, I'm 33 weeks & 3 days pregnant. I have about 48 days to go until I will give birth. But my OB told me that there's a possibility that I will give birth on Christmas Day...or maybe New Year....no one knows, hehe...

I really miss hubby a lot, I miss talking to him through FB Video call or in YM. The last time we talked was when they were in Baton Rouge, Louisiana in the United States last November 9. That's the only place that we can communicate including Rio Haina, in Dominican Republic. I also receive text messages when he's in Cayman Island located in the western Caribbean Sea. As of this moment, maybe they are in Bahamas. Sabi ng brother niya na pumalit sa kanya, walang signal dun sa Bahamas kung saan sila pupunta. Well, I will just wait for him to call me. My FB will be always open for him. will share some of his photos:

Trick or Treat 2011

2011-11-01T23:07:00.000+08:00

How's your Halloween? Hope everybody's had a great time with their families and love ones. For us, we went to the cemetery early morning around 6:30am (Oct. 31 & this morning) then went also in the afternoon on the same date. But before that, last Oct. 29 (at church) and Oct. 31 (at SM) it was the 1st time that my daughter Mika joined trick or treat. Actually, kahit sumali siya natatakot parin siya sa mga costumes ng mga tao lalo na yung nakakatakot at naka-mascot. Talagang nanginginig sa takot while hila-hila ang damit ko. Well, meron talagang mga batang ganun. Will share some photos below:
