Only 9 Days To Go...

...and she'll be TWO! :)

I just hope she enjoys her 2nd birthday even without the party. :) One of hubby's uncle arrived from the US and an aunt will be arriving from Japan on the 20th, so we hope the lil girl will have bulging pockets on her birthday. :)

Anyway, even if there's none, I'm sure to make her very happy on her special day.

4 More Days To Go

before DD's first trick or treat. :) We registered for Fun Ranch's No Trick All Treats which will be held on Saturday, October 25. Since this will be her first time, I am very excited for her. She'll be wearing a costume! Hahaha!!!

My bro's girlfriend offered her niece's pink leopard costume which was used last year. And here's how she would look like:

DD wore it once and she looked soooo cute in it! Can't wait for the actual event! Hehehe!

However, I'm still thinking of getting her a hula (Hawaiian) costume - bikini top and grass skirt - since I know she'll melt while roaming around Tiendesitas. The place is soooo hot! Anyway, with the very limited time I have - leaving the house for work at 6:30AM and arriving home at 8:00PM - I wonder how I can drop by Divi to get a cheap costume. Hehehe :)

One Month To Go

At exactly one month from now, our lil girl will be TWO. Yay!!! I just wish she won't be a terrible two! Hahaha!!! Well, I know her so well. She's one nice and sweet lil girl. ;)

Anyway, we're not planning a party for her but we're sure to give her a blast on her special day. We originally plan to bring her to Enchanted Kingdom, but were held back by the thought that the rides are more enjoyable for the adults than the kids.

Next idea is Manila Ocean Park. I know she would love to be surrounded by swimming fishes and sharks. But I thought the price is not worth the entertainment awaiting. You'll tire your legs and feet from walking inside the large aquarium seeing only the sea creatures as they dance in the water for PHP450?! And that would take you less than 1 hour to finish the adventure.


Our last option is Star City. Everytime we pass by CCP/Roxas Blvd./Gil Puyat, as long as she sees the the wizard's large hat and the lights flashing outside the park, she would scream "Tartity!" And when you tell her you'll go out with her, she would say either "Eshem" for SM, "Jajijee" for Jollibee, or "Tartity" for Star City. So we thought that's the cheapest option that she'd enjoy. For just PHP300 for RAYC ticket and PHP60 for entrance fee, it's worth enjoying the place! Hahaha!

Look Ma, One Hand!

That's how I am right now.

Since the start of this month, hubby would drop me off the Recto station of LRT2 at around 6:30 to 6:45 in the morning. But yesterday was different. Right in front of the station gate is a U-turn slot. We always take a U-turn there so we can easily get to the gate. But yesterday, our S8 slipped, leaving us front flat on the floor. We were both covered with dirt since it drizzled earlier that morning, leaving the road wet and slippery. Hubby stood up immediately as he heard me wail with hurt. I was crying of my aching left arm. He stood the S8 up, then reached for me and accompanied me as we aboard the S8 again. Then, we went home.

Though we both know that we were hurt, I was the one who asked him to go home first so we can change clothes and take a rest for a while as we were both dizzy from the fall. We rested for a few minutes at home, changed shirts, then went to the UST hospital for my examination. He was hurt too, with bruises on his left cheek, lower lip, chin, left arm, left knee and left leg, but nothing major. Mine was the one he insisted to have checked. We went straight to the ER and was attended by the doctor. They asked me questions, had me x-rayed, asked hubby to buy an arm sling for me, and then let me wear them.

At first sight, no fracture can be found on my x-ray. But since I could not turn/twist my arm, the Ortho-Surgeon suggested to leave my x-ray so they can further examine as it is not compatible that I don't have any fracture yet I could not move my arm. Though he already told me that it looks like my arm was a bit dislocated as the bone went a bit through my radial joint, thus I am unable to move it. :(

We'll come back on Thursday for the x-ray results and the medical certificate, which costs 50 Pesos, that I requested. Then hopefully, my arm gets better by next week. However, the Ortho-Surgeon already advised to keep my arm sling worn for 2 weeks. :(

Baby Girl At The Casino

It was last Saturday night, October 11, when a baby girl was spotted inside the Casino Filipino in ParaƱaque. Too young to be playing poker or even the slot machine, but yes, she was INSIDE THE CASINO.

We were there for the Wanders show. That afternoon, a friend of mom called to tell that she got us 5 tickets to the Wanders show. So at night, off we went. The show was spectacular! At first, I was expecting of just the usual circus show, less the big elephants and lions. Hahaha! Well, I was wrong. It was a musical show showcasing the different talents of Chinese acrobats and classically-trained Russian dancers. The production as a whole was very great! Kids and adults alike enjoyed the show, even my 2-year old daughter!

Since cameras are not allowed inside, we were not able to capture a few scenes. Hence, I got these from other sites just to share with you:

Wanders is a spectacular musical extravaganza that combines the elements of theater, concert, circus and dance in one exciting show. It is a sentimental journey of two “wanderers” who are brought into different magnificent acts by a tourist guide.

We were so lucky to witness the show for free! :)

Handbag For Free

I've always been a fan of handbags - be it formal, casual, classy, and even diaper bags. I'm not actually brand conscious. I just want my bags to have enough compartments 'cause I don't want my stuff getting mixed up inside the bag (it could be a total mess!). I also want it to be stylish as I don't want to walk around bringing a grandma handbag. Hehehe...

Handbag Planet is an angel to all handbag lovers. Their bags are just my type. Aside from the great styles, I think the sizes are also good - not too big and not too small. They're having a contest wherein you can win a handbag every hour. They're having this before their launch on October 15, and that's only 5 days away. So hurry, sign up now so you can join their raffle. :)

Another Year To Celebrate

Our lil princess is already 22 months and 2 weeks old. That means, only less than 2 months til she celebrates her 2nd year. Being the smart, cheerful, and playful toddler that she is, I know she deserves a party this year. However, hubby and I were not able to prepare for that. So, we decided to give her a blast on her 3rd birthday.

For this year, we plan to let her enjoy her day either at Gymboree or at Enchanted Kingdom. I know, she cannot experience the rides yet, but she can experience the magic, as their tagline goes "The magic is here." Hahaha! Well, she enjoyed Star City so we're sure that she'll enjoy EK more.

Looking forward to giving her one of the best days she can have. :)

MIA

I know, I've been missing-in-action for a while. Well, days have been very busy for me, both at work and at home. Today is our boss' (team supervisor) last day with the company, so we've been settling things before she leaves. Also, we've been working on a long overdue project but everything's dependent on the vendor. Oh well, our big boss has given them a deadline already. They should finish it by October 20, otherwise, we'll return the equipment to them. And we're talking of millions here.

On another note, SIL had her first ultrasound last week. It was very nice to know that everyone's fine, she and especially the baby. We were very excited when we knew she's pregnant again, yet very worried as she is diabetic. So we never get tired of reminding her to take care of her health as the baby will be affected. So far, so good. Prayers are really very powerful. :)

As for our lil girl, she loves singing now! Hahaha! Your day won't end without hearing her sing her heart out. :D She loves Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Barney's I Love You Song, Old MacDonald Had A Farm, and a lot more. Though I haven't recorded her singing yet. That's my assignment for the weekend. :)

It's Friday and it's raining... I think it's our bed calling me. Hahaha! Unfortunately, I can't spend much time sleeping over the weekend, lotsa things to do. :)

Great Weekend That Was

Yay for my weekend!!! :) We had a blast! Hahaha!!!

Saturday - we went to Tagaytay. As I've mentioned on my previous post, we went to Tagaytay riding our S8. :) At 5AM, DH and I were already at the Caltex C-5. We met up with the other MCP members and then we went straight to Caltex Alabang to meet the other participants. We took the East Service Road going to Alabang. We were there at around 7AM. Then, we left Alabang at around 8AM.

From there, we passed by Daang-Hari, Molino, GMA Cavite, out to Aguinaldo Hi-way, straight to Tagaytay. The fastest we did was 100kph, which was not bad as there were 2 of us riding. One of the participants was actually complaining 'cause he couldn't reach 100kph the fact that he's alone on his bike. Hahaha!!! :)

The ride was smooth and cheap. We only spent around Php250 for the entire trip (Manila-Eastwood-C-5-Alabang-Tagaytay-Manila). Not to mention the food was free. Hahaha! Although tiring especially for my back (lucky are those who have the GIVI), it was so much fun! :) DH promised we'll do it again.

Sunday - We woke up at around 8AM and immediately prepared for the 9AM mass. I gave DD a nice bath, dressed her up, had myself and hubby prepare afterwards. We had mass at Binondo Church (Minor Basilica of St. Lorenzo Ruiz), went to 168, had breakfast at McDo, played a little at Timezone (one of DD's favorite play place) and went shopping. Although we didn't have much to shop, we just got 2 rain gears for DH and me, a belt bag for him, a pair of shoes for me, and a Mickey Mouse Clubhouse DVD for DD. She had so much fun running around the place! Hahaha! Oh, and she even called one of the mannequins Mu-mu. She thought the mannequin was scary. Hahaha!

We had lunch at home - pork binagoongan was superb! Then had an afternoon nap. Although at 2PM, we were up already. We dropped the lil girl to my parents' place, then hubby and I went to buy diapers and to the salon for his haircut.

Back to my parents' place, everyone craved for some inihaw. We went out to buy a lot of inihaw. Hahaha! Then at night, we had halo-halo and bibingka. Yum!

Off To Tagaytay

On 2 wheels!!! Yay! :) It'll be our first time to travel to Tagaytay on 2 wheels. We've been there a hundred times already, especially that it's only a few minutes away from our home in Cavite, yet we're excited for tomorrow. However, it'll be just me and hubby. We're leaving the lil girl to my mom. :(

Anyway, I'm so looking forward to this exciting trip. I hope everything will turn out fine, especially that rain has been pouring hard for the past few days. And of course, that we'll come home to DD safe and sound... and with lotsa pasalubong, of course! Hahaha!

History Repeats Itself

Though not much of a history as it happened only yesterday. Hahaha! Anyway, I'm talking about the sleepless day (or night for me). I am, again, sleepless today.

I left the office past 9AM and reached home at around 11:30AM. Unfortunately, electricity was out so we just had lunch. Power was restored at around 1PM. At that time, I already invited DD to bed and put her to sleep. By the time she fell asleep, it was already 2PM. Uh oh... Only 1 hour left for me to sleep and I know, I'll just give myself a headache. Yet, I still tried, but to no success (again).

So, at 3PM, I got up and readied myself for the office. I left at 4:30PM as I need to be in the office at 6PM.

Now, I'm working. Hehe... Well, I hope I can still get enough sleep before I leave at 4AM. Wish me luck! :)

Not Even A Minute Of Sleep

Uh huh... I was up the whole day. After going to the bank for Papa and paying for their bills, DD and I went home. We went straight to bed, played a little, sung a few songs until she fell asleep. I then closed my eyes and counted minutes... minutes... and a few more minutes... hoping I could sleep already. But when I saw the time, it was already 4PM. I still tried to force myself to sleep, but to no success. And when it reached 5PM, I decided not to sleep at all as I need to get up at 6PM. Otherwise, I'll just kill myself from headache.

So here I am, sleepless at 1AM.

Bad Momma

Not me though. Hahaha!!!

Well, I just thought I had to share this...

Earlier at the LRT, there's this woman with 3 kids (I guess they're aged 3, 6, and 8) sitting in front of me. The two elder kids were talking about the continents, "Asia, Europe, North America, South America, ..." Then the mom suddenly butt in, "Uy, history yang pinag-uusapan nyo ah!" I bet, she does not help the kids with their homeworks. Geez...

Then later on, the youngest said, "Si kuya, pulis." Then the mom turning to the eldest son, "Kuya, pulis ka daw? Diba beauty queen ka?" Ok, fine!

A few minutes later, they were talking about Dyesebel - a teleserye in GMA7. The aunt who was with them said, "Eh Richard na Richard nga yan eh." (pertaining to the 8-year old boy as Richard Gutierrez' look-alike). Then the mom (again) corrected, "Marian na Marian nga eh!" (she wants the boy to be Marian Rivera's look-alike).

She must be one very proud mom to a gay son... yet the son is fully convinced he's not gay.

Takaw

I must admit, I'm so matakaw tonight! Hahaha!!! Earlier this evening, I was craving for Razon's halo-halo despite the cold weather due to the pouring rain. Hehehe... Then at around 11:30PM, I was already very hungry, I could feel my empty stomach complaining. At 1AM, I finally had the chance to buy food. I went with Dimple as she's already going home. We stopped by Jollibee so she could buy food for her next day's lunch, where we also shared munching on large french fries. Then we headed to KFC for a snack-size Famous Bowl. And lastly, to HK Style Noodles, for a regular order with pork siomai.

Now, I'm so full I could sleep soundly the whole night! Hahaha!!! Just kidding. I need to keep myself half awake for incoming calls and emails (I'm on a night shift in the office).

Happy 17th Birthday, Sis!

Saturday, September 20, was my sister's birthday. My morning started very busy as I went straight to Shopwise (from the night's work) to buy the ingredients for her pasta. As soon as I got home, I prepared everything and started cooking. I prepared Tuna Basil pasta, but this time I used red sauce. Everybody loved the pasta, some even brought home. :) Too bad I was not able to prepare garlic bread for this (was not able to contact Mom while I was grocery shopping). Anyway, we can do it again some other time. :) Mom prepared some breaded chicken, pork barbecue and pork sinigang for dinner. :)

Her highschool barkada came in earlier as they wanted to surprise my sister. They made a banner with cut-out letters and a jumbo card for her. Her bestfriend made a freehand sketch of her which was soooo nice! :) And the gang also chipped in for a bag and a cake as their gifts for her. She was surprised with lots of balloons and a party popper as soon as she opened the door. I can't even forget her reaction when she got surprised. Hahaha!!!

At night, beer was flowing. Well, she's already in college so she's allowed to drink. :)

I hope you had a blast, Sis! Can't wait for next year, it'll be your 18th then. :)

She's Getting Better

I mean, her eyes. :) DD got sore eyes since last week (hence, I got mine from her). But her eyes are better now.

We went to her pedia Tuesday morning and had her eyes checked. It is actually the second time she had sore eyes. The first time, we used Tobradex. But since the pedia suggested that Tobradex may not be effective to the bacteria causing her sore eyes now, we switched to Maxitrol.

However, I'm using both eye drops. I use Tobradex when I'm in the office, and Maxitrol when I'm at home. I hope it won't cause any further irritations since I'm using two different meds. But I had to leave Maxitrol to her, leaving me no choice but to use Tobradex while I'm out of the house.

Hope we'll get well very soon. :)

Sore Eye

Why not "sore eyes"? Because it's only one eye. Hehehe...

The lil girl has sore eye since last week (and it's getting better now) and it got me infected as well. Good thing Tobradex is good for kids and adults. So, we're sharing the same eye drops. :)

I'm actually expecting my eye to get better in a few days, hopefully in 5 days or less. Though it's not at all hurting and itchy, it's just that the feeling is different when you have it. :)

Happy Birthday, Dada!

Last Sunday, September 14, was hubby's birthday. He turned 26 already, and that means I'm next in line. OMG! Hahaha!

I can't believe I'll be 26 years old in 4 months. Hahaha! Well, it's not a problem for me though. As the TV commercial goes "It's okay to be 40, just as long as you look 30." Hahaha! And I think I don't look 26 naman. Hahaha! I even know one who's only 22 but looks older than me. ;)

Anyway, I know this post is already late but "Happy Birthday, Da!" Nicole and I wish you good health, more love, and more money! Hahaha! We love you so much! Mmmmwwwahhh!!!

I'll be posting some pics later. :)

Plurk

So I finally joined Plurk last week. After tons of email invites from officemates, and weeks of convincing me, I finally gave in. Hahaha!

Now, I already have 16 friends and 13.21 Karma points in Plurk. Though my points are still very low to have additional features, but in time, it will increase. :)

And I can now prove that it is addicting! Hahaha! I mean, that you wouldn't want to miss a single response, or else, you'll be flooded with unread updates and responses. Hahaha!

Join Plurk! :) Or you might want to receive an invite from me, that would be great! Hehehe...

I Miss My Babies

Even though hubby was home the whole day yesterday, still I was unable to spend time with him. I got home at around 1PM. And in a few minutes, I was already in dreamland. Then, I just felt my lil girl and hubby kissing me. So I opened my eyes, but just for a few seconds. Darn, I was really sleepy! She even tried to wake me up to ask for milk, but I just can't get off the bed to get her one. :( Bad Mama!

Today, when I get home, I promise to play with her to make up for yesterday. :)
