In a blink of an eye

♥ ♥ ♥ Sabrina's Fun time ♥ ♥ ♥

2013-11-14T14:51:00.001+08:00

I've been meaning to bring Sabrina to playgrounds for her to get to experience playing in real playgrounds. I only knew a few places. One of these is Fun Ranch.

Came Nov 11, we went to Fun Ranch, Tiendesitas. The place is big but to my surprise, there are no kids. Maybe because it was only past 1 in the afternoon.

At first, she didn't know what to do. Maybe she was too overwhelmed with the things she's seeing. For 5 minutes or so, she's just staring and holding the balls. Hahaha!

As minutes passed, she became comfortable and began playing.

Too bad, that was the only place she can play with. Big slides are not yet allowed. I tried climbing up while carrying her but I immediately got tired hahaha!

We also tried the carousel outside the playdium. Her all time favorite. And when we passed thru a small slide, Sabrina didn't want to go! Waaaa!

We will definitely go back there when Sabrina is a bit older so she can appreciate the playground more. All in all, I can say that Sabrina really enjoyed. I can see it in her face. Happy baby. Happy mommy. :)

Lalalalalove! ♥

It's official. It's US. Lalalalalove! Happy happy! After more or less a year of getting to know. Hahaha! I know what you're thinking. That was so long but you know what I have been through. I had tough times and I learned a lot from my past. I better be sure this time and I hope I made the right decision. Whatever happens, it's God's will. For now, I'm enjoying every minute of what I have. Indeed, there's a rainbow after the rain. I hope this is not just a splurge of the moment. I hope this will last a lifetime.

After a year post :P

2013-10-24T12:55:00.000+08:00

Oh hello there blog!! I missed you! I would love to share everything that has happened to me during my loss here in the blogger world but they're too many to mention. :)

But all in all, I'm happy. That's what matters most right? Life is getting better each day. And I thank the Lord for not leaving us since day one.

By the way, this is my daughter now. Sabrina is already 1 year and 6 months. Time flies.

Every day is a wonderful day because of her. I love her unconditionally :)

I won again!

2012-10-11T11:37:00.003+08:00

I'm feeling so lucky!

Too bad I can't make it because it's Sabrina's 7th month. Oh well, I gave them away to my two good friends, Sheryl and Aure. Hope they will enjoy the movie :)

I wanna go home

2012-10-09T08:44:00.004+08:00

Maybe surrounded by
A million people I
Still feel all alone,
I wanna go home
Oh, I miss you, you know

Hello again, blog!

2012-10-09T08:01:00.001+08:00

First of all, I never forgot that I have a blog. I was just too lazy to write a post. A lot of things have already happened to me. To sum it up, here are the highlights.

1) I resigned from my employer in Makati after almost 1.5 years of stay. Though I missed my friends there, I believe I made the right decision. This is for the sake of my growing daughter. I want to have more time with my baby. And most especially, I NEED more money to support her.

2) I gave birth to a lovely baby last March 12 (Monday) around 9.30pm. Sabrina Gail weighed 6.17 pounds. It was exactly my 40th week that time. I delivered in Caesarian section by my OB-Gyne Aurora Tajan at Delgado Hospital. It was supposed to be a normal delivery but my tolerance in pain is so low that I could not take the labor pains. I thought I'm going to die, seriously. Contractions started Sunday evening (March 11). I had no sleep. I kept shouting inside my room. Morning of March 12, labor pains are intolerable. After hours of contractions inside the Labor room, I finally gave in. I said to my doctor I want a Caesarian section. I can't take it anymore. I was begging. She said if after an hour there was no improvement (still 4centimeters after hoursssss of labor my goodness!), then CS it is. During the delivery, she said 1 cord was curled around Sabrina's neck and she almost pooped inside. Thank God she made the right decision to deliver Sab in CS.

3) I fell in love with Sabrina at first sight. I know now how it feels to love unconditionally. :)

4) After 3 months, Sabrina Gail was baptized at Perpetual Help Parish at 15th Avenue, Cubao. Luncheon was followed at Max's Restaurant Gateway.

5) On Sabrina's 5th month, she had her first out of town trip at Tagaytay.

6) Sabrina can now roll and move on her own. She's sooo malikot nowadays. Also she keeps on making strange sounds as if she can already talk to us.

7) At almost 7 months, two teeth have already came out. Too cute!

8) Sabrina is a cheerful and healthy baby. She never fails to amaze us every single day.

Almost 7 months have passed. In less than 6 months, Sabrina will be turning 1 year. Oh my! Don't grow up too soon baby. I want to enjoy every single day with you. If only I can kiss and hug you endlessly :)

Being a single parent is very hard indeed, financially and emotionally. I'm so grateful that I have a family and friends that is always here for me. Without them, I can't imagine how our life will be. Eventually, life will be better. I trust the Lord. Soon, He will give us the life that we deserve. No more negative vibes, just positive hopes. :)

Thank you Lord for this beautiful blessing, my beautiful Sabrina.

I can't imagine there are clothes like this for newborns. This one is cute though.

Cute socks

Gifts for baby

2012-02-25T21:51:00.005+08:00

Thank you for the pretty pair of shoes Ninang Mich. Thank you for the gorgeous blouse Tita Aileen. I'm so delighted. Can't wait to meet you both. Lab lab!

Hugs and Kisses,

Sab

Good times!

2012-02-25T21:50:00.004+08:00

Finally, our plan to meet pushed through. Mich, Aileen and I met up at Gateway for some catching up session. Martin also came. I had so much fun reminiscing our good times when we are still younger. As if we're that super old already noh? :p Anyway, we spent our hours chatting and eating. Oh how I miss my friends so much! Till our next get together! Sana madami dami na tayo next time. :)

Am I ready?

2012-02-25T07:41:00.002+08:00

Anytime, I can give birth. I don't know what it feels like to be in labor. As most people told me, it's a pain in the ass. Hahahaha! I'm so nervous, at the same time excited. These past few days, I've been dreaming about being in the operating room, giving birth. That's how excited I am :p

I have already packed my baby's stuffs. Feeding bottles are not yet included. They're not yet been sterilized. As for my stuffs, that can be done later. Hehe!

I wonder how will it trigger that I'll be giving birth already. Oh help me Lord. I can do this! We can do this baby! Pray for us. :)

Looking back

2012-02-19T22:38:00.002+08:00

I was browsing through the Gallery of my phone when I saw this.

This was taken July 13 2011. I took the first pregnancy test the day before and the second on the day itself. I remember passing out in the toilet. I was in shock. I can't absorbed what I just saw. I didn't report to office that day. We immediately went to the doctor. We went first to Medical City Clinic Gateway. We waited for hours for a doctor that will do the ultrasound. Unfortunately, no one came. We proceeded to Medical City Alimall. We were immediately entertained. The OB talked to us first and we had the ultrasound. It was confirmed. I'm pregnant! I can't remember how many weeks I was then. I was still in shocked. We first kept it a secret. It was so hard for me especially knowing that the guy I love is not committed to me. I can't push him with something he doesn't like so I opted to just say it was okay with me.

I know this baby is a blessing from God. Day after day I learned to accept the reality, that I'm going to be a mom. A single mom.

I experienced a lot of pain and hardships. I cried a lot of tears no one can imagine. I felt alone most of the time. I pitied myself most of the time. I pretended to smile and laugh, I was quiet most of the time. I envied those pregnant women that have husbands/boyfriends with them during tough times. I envied them for they have someone who loves and takes care of them. I envied happy couples. I kept it all to myself. The only person that I expected to be here beside me is no where to be found. I can't push him. I just accepted it. I always say to myself, I don't deserve this. I didn't do anything bad for me to experience this. But God has its own way of testing our faith. And so I trusted Him. I know He's guiding us. And I thank Him so much for never leaving us. I thank my family for accepting us. Though at first it was hard for my mom but I can feel that she had eventually learned to accept it.

Now, I'm counting days until I give birth. I'm happy and excited to see my little angel, Sabrina Gail. Of all the pains and struggles I experienced, now I deserve to be happy with my daughter. I have so many beautiful plans for her. I pray that I can fulfill them all through God's guidance. I just want the best for my daughter. She's the only one that I can call my own. I love her unconditionally.

I asked for your prayers for my safe delivery. Thank you friends.

Simpleng hiling

2012-02-10T21:15:00.002+08:00

Lord, simple lang naman po hiling ko. Gusto ko pong maging masaya. Gusto ko pong irespeto nila ako bilang babae, bilang tao. Alam ko pong pagsubok nyo lang saken to. Kinakaya ko naman po kahit hirap na hirap na ko. May mga panahon na gusto ko ng bumitaw. Pero pinapalakas ako ng aking anak. Siya nalang po ang tanging nagpapalakas saken ngayon. Yung lalaking inaasahan kong sasamahan at mamahalin ako, napakalayo na po niya Lord. Nawa'y gabayan nyo po siya sa tamang landas. Wala na po ako makapitan kundi Kayo po. Lord tulungan nyo ako kasi po.. Hirap na hirap na ko.. Mahal na mahal ko po kayo. At alam ko pong hindi nyo kami papabayaan. Inaalay ko po ang aking sarili sa inyo. Kayo na po bahala saken, sa amin ng anak ko. ;Maraming salamat Lord.

Baby Fair @ MegaTrade

Jan 26 2012 - I saw a billboard of a baby sale at Mega mall for the coming weekend. Happy mommy! :) I won't missed this chance I said to myself. Good thing it was pay day weekend. Thank you Lord!

Jan 28 2012 - We went straight to Mega trade 3. There were so many people! Preggies galore! Since I already bought some stuffs for baby 2 weeks ago, I decided to just buy ONLY the remaining items needed. I need to watch out for my expenses. We bought feeding bottles, diapers, toiletries, and additional clothes. What I loved most about this Baby Fair are the FREEBIES!!

A bag full of gorgeous freebies! :D

Inside the bag. :D

Overwhelmed by the goodies I got :D

Thank you Baby Company!! Baby Sab is overjoyed with the freebies she got. Happy mommy! :D

And I can now say that I'm a CERTIFIED MOM.

My favorite nephew, Gabs, enjoying his Christmas gift from Mama and Tonet.

My heart is filled with joy whenever I see him smile. He makes me feel complete. Together with my niece, Cassandra, they are my source of happiness. I love you both so much! :)

Get together with B-Street

2011-12-18T11:24:00.002+08:00

A double celebration was held last December 10 at Lancaster Hotel in Shaw Blvd. It's B-Street Christmas Part and Kat's Birthday. Finally I got to bond with them after a long time. Everyone was surprised to see me. Hahaha!

Here are some of the snapshots of the event.

With Ms. Lim. Chubby much? I know!

With the girls. Eh d ako na ang manas! :))

With the girls again. :)

Now I wonder how will I shed those fats after I give birth next year. :)) Good luck to me!

CAS check up

2011-12-18T11:01:00.000+08:00

Yesterday, I had CAS. Though a bit late, my OB said that it's still possible. Thank God everything is normal. My little princess is in good condition. I love you baby.

Sabrina's First Gift

2011-12-18T10:55:00.002+08:00

I received an LBC package from Sheryl a few weeks ago. Since we were not able to meet when her family took a vacation here in the Philippines, she just sent it through mail.

The baby clothes are too cute and adorable. I can't wait to put them on to Sabrina. Thank you so much Ninang!! :)

Now, I can't wait to buy baby stuffs for my little princess.

God's greatest gift

2011-12-04T18:34:00.002+08:00

Most of you might already know about this. And others might get surprised. But I'd like to share with you God's greatest gift to me this Christmas. I can't explain how happy I am for the blessing He has given me. I'd like all of you to meet my lovely daughter, Sabrina Felisse.

She's already on her 26th week now. I am overjoyed and teary-eyed knowing that I will be having a baby girl. I just can't wait to hold and kiss her, to ease all the problems and hardships that I'm experiencing right now. I know this will be hard for us at first but we can do this baby. I will take good care of you. And I will love you unconditionally. Mommy will always be here for you. :)

I pray that Sabrina will be a healthy and normal baby. That's all I'm asking.

By the way, I'm expecting to give birth by the end of February or first week of March next year. I'm too excited to see you my baby.

2011-11-09T12:31:00.002+08:00

This is one of the times that I needed someone. I need a father right now. Help me Lord.

..

2011-10-23T22:26:00.001+08:00

Let me feel you baby so I won't feel alone and lonely. I love you so much and I will take care of you. You are the only reason that I'm living. Life may be tough and cruel but I know soon, my life will have meaning because of you.

Someday..

2011-09-30T12:22:00.000+08:00

Someday, someone will be proud of me. Someone who will accept me for who I am and what I can only offer.

Someone not perfect, but real.

Just saying

2011-09-22T21:06:00.000+08:00

Pagod na ko pero bakit sige parin ako? Minsan nagmumuka na akong tanga. Pero sige parin. Haaay. Pagod na ko magtampo. Pagod na ko magalit. Pagod na ko maghintay. Pagod na ko sa lahat. Kulang nalang wag na ko gumalaw sa kinauupuan ko at hayaan ko na nalang umikot ang mundo ng wala ako. Hirap na ako. Alam ko epekto ito ng kasalukuyang pinagdadaanan ko pero wala akong magagawa eto nararamdaman ko. Minsan inilalabas ko nalang sa pag iyak para mabawasan ang bigat na nararamdaman ko. Minsan itinutulog ko nalang ang lungkot. Minsan mas nanaisin ko pang mag isa kasi kahit may kasama akong iba, malungkot parin ako.

Mababaw lang naman kaligayahan ko pero bakit sa mga panahong ito, ang hirap hanapin. Kung kelan kailangang kailangan ko.

Alam ko bawal ako mastress kaya siguro itutulog ko nalang to. Pagod na ko magisip.

Current Mood: Sad

2011-09-22T20:25:00.000+08:00

It's been months since I last went out of town. I miss taking pictures. The beach, waves, landscapes, people. Haaay. It's also been months since I last watched a movie. I can't even remember the last time I went videoke-ing with my friends and office mates. I miss hanging out with them. This is so frustrating. I feel so sad. Everything is beginning to change.

Simple joys where are you? I need you right now. Make me smile...
