Caught in the Act

Got this on You Tube. This is the yaya from H*&LL! Watch what she did to the poor kid. This is so traumatic!




Naku, kaya we should be careful who we leave our kids to.

Growing Family

Whats been keeping me busy? Well, this......

8 months and 1 week.

A few more weeks to go and we would welcome our new bundle of joy. *Excited* The first trimester nausea, dizziness, shortness of breath, even the constipation will be all worth it. The second trimester lightheadedness, sleepiness, easy fatigability and skin breakouts will all be forgoten. As well as this last trimesters' bone and joint pain, difficulty walking (or should I say, waddling), skin darkening and weight gain. I had bouts of sickness in between (AH1N1 scare, hahaha). I wasn't able to do all the kikay stuffs I do with my hair. Half of my hair is brown and the other half is black (hello virgin hair, haven't seen you in yearsssss ;-p). It survived the duration of my infanticipation tied up in a tight ponytail.

Nevertheless, I feel blessed, very very very blessed. To have a supportive and loving family who had been tolerant of my every whims. I couldn't ask for anything more.

Now, I hope to have a safe delivery to a healthy baby boy (our little Brumito). Please pray for me. Scared doesn't even begin to describe the apprehension I feel everytime I think about labor and delivery. Thats why I decided to switch to a different OB. I felt I needed greater attention. Hahahaha. That's fear talking.

But of course, the feeling of anticipation of finally seeing our baby boy is greater. I can't wait! :-)

XOXO

Chihuahua

Kim, our little girl who's afraid of everything that moves, fell in love with a Chihuahua. She couldn't put it down and was even kissing its tiny head.

Here she is playing with Dana (Winkle the Chihuahua's owner)

She even placed it inside the car with her and positioned its paws on the steering wheel.

The smile.... priceless! :-)

When it was time to go home, she vehemently refused. We were forced to force her which made her cry and said that she wants a dog. All the way home she kept on saying she wants a small dog, she'll take care of it and feed and bathe and clean after it. Oh well, lets see. A few more days and if she continues to ask, we just might. Or not. Hehehehe. I hate dogs.

Plantation Bay Pictures

Here are some of the pictures we tok during our Plantation Bay trip in Cebu City last Holy Week.

Man made ocean. It looks like an ocean, taste like an ocean and feels like an ocean without the waves and the icky sands clinging to your bathing suit.

Kid friendly pool. Non slippery surface and ideal depth for a toddler.

Our cabana in the middle of the ocean :-)

Sands, palm trees, breeze. Sarap

The fresh water pool. We stayed here because Kim loved the water slide and kept on sliding endless times. Not seen here are the pool bar where we watched tv and lounge around while still on the pool and the jacuzzi nooks where we had a water massage in private / isolated recesses of the huge pool.

Bliss. Despite the huge crowd, the feel of privacy is evident due to the enormous size of the place.

This and the jeepney-style golf cart are our means of transportation around. After riding this kalesa once, we didn't try it again out of pity for the horse after our combined weights made the horse's knees almost buckle. Hehehe. A different experience for Kim thought :-)

We love it here and will not hesitate to come back. Food is great and amenities are superb.

We went home tired and tanned :-)

I Look Forward To...

.... A long, relaxing vacation

... Kim's first plane ride (i hope she doesn't freak out, hehehe)

... a luxurious accomodation

... warm, cozy, soft beds at Crowne Regency

... watching hubby ride the Edge Coaster (as well as the Sky Walk Adventure, etc, etc)

... going back to Plantation Bay after 5 years. I know Kim will love this place.

... and lechon Cebu (as well as other local delicacies)

Kim's Swimming Lesson

Since Kim loves swimming, we decided to enrol her this summer in Bert Lozada Swim School at the Celebrity Sports Plaza.

First day: Orientation and Assessment

The instructor made dunk her head in water for several seconds. This for me is an achievement because Kim hates having water in her face, be it at a swimming pool, the beach or just the shower.

Day 2: She doesn't want to come back. We just made her pilit. Notice the iron grip on the post. She told me she does not like it when the teacher lets go of her in the water. After a few minutes of tears and a little coaxing from the staff, she joined the class.

Day 4: With the help of a floater, she can swim on her own already.

After a while, the floater were slowly (and sneakingly) deflated without Kim knowing.

Day Five: Now she can swim on her own. Yey! Watch this...

Delivery Service

My savior!

last wednesday, as I was about to leave for work, I got in the car and turned the ignition. Instead of the usual hum of the engine all I heard was a click. I tried again and it was not responding. After several clicks, I know something's wrong. So I called up hubby, who's already at work and he diagnosed it as battery problem. He called up motolite express delivery and after 1 hour, this motorcycle arrived. The driver / mechanic replaced my dead battery with a new one, swiped my credit card with his portable credit card terminal and rode off. Truly maasahan. ;-)

Conveniences of city life.
