basement tiles

2012-01-23T13:48:00.001+08:00

so we went to cavite last weekend and finally i was able to see their surprise for me. the comfort room door was replaced with pvc type and it's soo beautiful! it was really nice and i have to congratulate my mom for that elegant choice. a few more days to come and my brother b's going to be home from singapore! i told my mom that we should get the basement tiles ready by then so he would be able

emergency medical assistance

2012-01-23T13:42:00.001+08:00

there was an emergency last week that really broke my heart and had me regret being so far away from my parents. thank God everything's alright now. but i think all the crying and worry that i wasn't able to control might have affected my baby. well i hope he/she understands how i love my family so much that i'd die for them. anyways, the incident got me thinking of getting a good emergency

what i love and hate about being pregnant

2012-01-10T13:33:00.001+08:00

hate: 1. being easily tired. if i could walk miles without being that exhausted before i got pregnant, this time it's different. very draining and i'm needing more "time-outs" than usual. 2. pain, pain, pain. backpain, abdominal pain, headache, dizziness, vomiting, falling hair, all the irritability that i'm not very used to. 3. drugs and tests. i have never ever been confined in a hospital

family at work

2012-01-10T12:40:00.001+08:00

just finished organizing tools and supplies at the little home. it's a good thing that we don't have a lot yet, or else, it might take me hours and hours to sort the screws and other stuff. we do not plan on buying a lot of things yet in this temporary home since we have plans of getting our own place for our baby. we prefer not moving all over the place especially when baby's already here.

cooking 101

2012-01-05T10:54:00.001+08:00

my sister in law's really good with her cooking. she got it from her mom. how i wish i have the same skill as my sisters and mom too but unfortunately, i got tied up with some other things related to my career and other hobbies. now that i'm building a home together with teddy rawr, i've realized the importance of my mom's house keeping 101 lessons from way, way back. there's so much i've learned

been a while

2011-12-23T11:44:00.000+08:00

it's been almost a week since we moved in this place. i can't believe that we're really trying to build a home here out of this house. at first, i was really hesitant to buy the small stuff that i never thought i would spend money on, such as screw drivers. why would i buy that? then i realized how useful it is in a household setting. oh my. so many things to learn. the aircon is installed but

rush gifts

2011-12-23T11:30:00.001+08:00

2 days to go and it's christmas! i will be rushing tomorrow after my shift to shop for gifts. i have accomplished zero out of 50 plus names list so far. it's because teddy rawr and i got so busy moving things, cleaning up and beautifying our new place. tonight hopefully i'll be able to stand up and get some things to wrap. since i've lost my budget for a fridge, i'll be looking for some gourmet

grandparent's day

2011-12-12T11:43:00.001+08:00

i terribly miss my grandparents. i'm so lucky to have crystal clear memories of them as a child. too bad none of them made it to see their grandchild from me. but most definitely this child is going to know them through all the funny and inspiring moments i have of them. oh no, this reminds me of my dad again. how i wish dad were here, but without all the suffering from the malfunctioning organs

ipod touch

2011-12-05T04:22:00.001+08:00

i had a dream that never came true and it's by choice. it's not that i can't afford it but it's because each time i'm decided to get it, something happens. like a new gadget shows itself up which then would make me confused of which one to get. i don't know, maybe this christmas i'll get this long awaited ipod touch for myself including ipod touch speakers of course. i had fun playing with my

peg boards

2011-12-05T04:01:00.001+08:00

been thinking of how i would be organizing my stuff once we move to cavite. there would only be one big room for all of us (girls) since we want to be altogether. therefore, everything will be mixed up. i'm thinking of getting a peg board for each of us so all the accessories and whatever stuff we'd like on display would be on the wall instead of being on top of the table. i've seen a lot of

traces of dad

2011-11-24T12:23:00.001+08:00

it would only be almost 2 months since dad left to heaven. you know, it's still hard to believe that he's not here. i think we're just making ourselves busy and just getting used to him not being on sight, but not the fact that he's really gone. i think he would never really be gone for us. coffee, humidors, sunday newspaper, sinatra's tunes when the sun rises, those are a few things that remind

getting bigger

2011-11-24T12:09:00.001+08:00

it's getting harder everyday... nothing fits anymore! my tummy has bloated and my favorite pants would no longer zip up. even the cup of my bra looks overflowing because my chest is getting bigger everyday. i'm afraid i'll have to shop for new lingerie plus size but still, i'm hoping that i'd be able to go back in good shape once i've already delivered my first baby. i think i have already

the north face

2011-11-02T12:40:00.001+08:00

i think people who surround me knows i'm a big fan of warmers and jackets. i have lots of hoodies and they honestly sometimes do not seem enough. like shoes. even if you have lots already, you'd still feel the need for a new one when an occasion is coming up. blame it on God's female design, i guess. in my christmas wishlist i've included bags bags bags, and shoes, shoes, shoes. AND what teddy

networking

2011-11-02T12:35:00.001+08:00

my colleagues and i were thinking of some other things we can probably take besides our current job. i was actually thinking of something creative, innovative yet relaxing and home-based. baking cupcakes for instance. but a friend said he's been looking for Network Administrator Jobs instead which is closely related to what we're doing now. it's not that i'm no longer into computers or technology

polaris ranger parts

2011-10-18T16:00:00.001+08:00

last night i spoke with a very intelligent man who is in the business of polaris ranger parts. never have i heard anyone spoke of his interest with that much passion and so i told him, success is so obvious with his words. i'm hoping that i was able to get him fully setup by teaching him some accounting and actual transaction entries with the software that the company gave him. inventory and all

galaxy tablet dream

2011-10-18T15:52:00.001+08:00

i am hoping so much that i'd be able to receive new gadgets from santa claus this christmas. although my toys right now are in good shape after years of maintenance and cleaning, somehow i'm wanting to experience the "upgrades". my laptop's been serving me for 6 years already and my phone is turning 2. honestly, a Galaxy Tablet PC isn't bad at all for a good girl like me this year. i have no idea

mom's gardening

2011-10-18T15:45:00.000+08:00

it's truly hard to pack 27 years of my life in just 2 boxes and a suitcase. there are so many stuff that i can't let go of yet because they carry with them lots of memories. anyway, i'm almost done. i just need 3 boxes more. mom's almost done too and looking forward to building her garden out there in the dream house. lately i've become crazy doing online transactions instead of going shopping

a faithful husband

2011-10-16T22:13:00.000+08:00

a faithful husband came home drunk, he doesn't know what was happening around him. upon going home, he directly entered the room and slept. morning came, with amazement on his face. everything is in order. a table of aspirin and a glass of water with a note: "good morning hon, i'll just buy groceries... have you breakfast. i love you." he was wondering why was that so he asked his son, "what

paper or digital?

2011-10-10T20:33:00.001+08:00

To-do list book. i prefer writing notes on paper than using the tasks application or to-do lists with my computer. it's like snail mail versus email to me and i always prefer what's classic. colorful post-it leaves are my friends and my board loves them. strike-through what's done, highlight pending ones. from time to time i allow my hands to practice handwriting because i just

partner rings

2011-10-09T04:21:00.001+08:00

teddy rawr and i has two sets of rings. first set was bought in baguio for celebrating our first month together but he lost his pair so we bought another one after a year, same place. we couldn't find the same exact design anymore so we just had to pick a new pair. we checked out some titanium rings in the mall but they are waay too expensive for their very simple design. now i saw some of these

Liquor manufacturers have accepted the Government's suggestion that the following warning labels be placed immediatel y on all varieties of alcohol containers: WARNING: The consumption of alcohol may leave you wondering what the hell happened to your bra and panties.

growing old

2011-09-19T06:45:00.001+08:00

dad's turning senior in a couple of years and he's excited about his retirement. mine would take 35 more years and i don't know, i'm hoping i could live beyond that age so i could get to see and take care of my grandchildren. anyway, i'm trying to learn pieces of the retirement information over at annuities online. i know how helpful it would be because my aunts/uncles who just got theirs are

out of the hospital

2011-09-19T06:36:00.000+08:00

so we just got discharged from the hospital (i know i have not blogged anything about that since i was too busy attending both hospital and home chores while mom took care of my sister full time). sister's feeling better now and she can eat better than before. the gastro pain got her traumatized so she wouldn't eat, reason why we had to take her to the hospital. while there, it got me thinking

what's your birthstone?

2011-09-01T11:55:00.003+08:00

the BER months are here! (and i'm so thankful for receiving my first ever christmas gift today!) i have a feeling that it's all gonna be good moving forward. it's funny how time seems to move faster when you don't want them to, and slower when you're so desperately waiting for something. anyway, the -ber months are my favorite time of the year because a lot of expected events and celebrations are

i was broken

2011-08-29T14:29:00.002+08:00

so now i am slowly but surely finding time to do the things that i used to love. teddy rawr told me before that i only thought i couldn't multi-task, when in fact, i've been juggling all that i am and everything that i can do with my bare hands. it was only until three months ago that i broke down and finally admitted to myself that i was indeed, really tired with the kind of life i was living.
