It’s my Big 3-0

Noee — Fri, 26 Jun 2009 23:39:26 +0000

I woke up to news that Michael Jackson just died of cardiac arrest and Farah Fawcett just lost her battle with cancer. It’s a weird start to a birthday. I haven’t really thought about my birthday that much and may have subconsciously pushing it at the back of my mind because I’m still [...]

Obama has ninja skills

Noee — Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:14:30 +0000

Obama & the Fly Pres. Obama whacked a fly with his super speed reflexes during an interview. I thought it was pretty impressive since I could never catch a fly like that – they’re just too quicker than I am. I’d be even more impressed if he could do it using chopsticks. Though after watching [...]

About a month more to go before Luke sees y’all

Noee — Sun, 14 Jun 2009 15:01:37 +0000

Well, technically he won’t be able to see clearly right away. Right now I’m just listing down stuff we’ll need – that’s probably mostly diapers, diapers, diapers since I can’t buy too much stuff coz I won’t be able to bring all of them back to Singapore. By this time, my tummy’s really heavy, it’s impossible [...]

Relaxation and breathing techniques do not reduce the need for an epidural during childbirth

Noee — Wed, 27 May 2009 00:19:52 +0000

Here’s an interesting article I came across with about natural birthing techniques. More than 1,000 mothers-to-be took part in the Swedish trial, thought to be the first significant analysis of the efficacy of such methods in labour. They attended one of two classes: the first taught natural coping methods, the other emphasised pain relief. But the BJOG study [...]

30 weeks and counting

Noee — Thu, 21 May 2009 14:26:30 +0000

I still can’t believe I’m going to give birth 8 weeks from now. I still have to get used to the thought of me as a mom. Me? Mom? Exciting and scary. But I’m sure everything is going to be just fine (if I make it through the pain of labor, that [...]

Back in Manila

Hey, friends! I’m back in Manila. I don’t have a local number yet though. This baby’s getting heavier by the day!

Lola Pimped My Ride

Noee — Mon, 27 Apr 2009 08:42:07 +0000

Luke just got an early present from Lola Suj. A blue Bugaboo Bee! Handling and maneouverability wise, this one takes the cake. I really liked the black one but decided against it as it probably wouldn’t be a wise choice for Singapore climate. The yellow looks really cheerio but the sales person told us [...]

Takes only a little to make me happy

Noee — Thu, 23 Apr 2009 06:46:14 +0000

I dunno if it’s just all the pc’s that I have access to – maybe because the cookie is set or something but when I visited the home page of the National Geographic Magazine, it’s my shot that’s displayed on the upper left corner which links to the Daily Dozen. I guess it’s no [...]

Vote for my pic please

Noee — Tue, 21 Apr 2009 07:59:57 +0000

My pic got chosen in the Nat Geo’s Daily Dozen for Week 4. I’m not sure how easy or hard it is to get chosen because this was my first entry but nevertheless it got me excited. So maybe you can help me take this to the next level and vote for the [...]
