♥ 10th Month! ♥

Carl Nathan is celebrating his 10th month today and 2 month more and he will be celebrating his much awaited first birthday! Hubby and I went to Quiapo since we missed going to this place for quite some time now.  We never forget to buy pansit hubby’s favorite Chinese restaurant in Ongpin before we headed home and stop to the nearest Goldilocks store to get his cake. 

 

And there he is, smiling at us and so happy to see his Mom and Dad.  I changed his clothes and he’s all willing to drive his car and pose for the souvenir pictures.  My family came to celebrate with us and they all noticed that Nathan is growing fast.  He is such a happy child and he never fails to brighten our day.  





Happy 10th month Nathan! We love you so much!

GOOD PRACTICE

My husband wants to buy new sets of clothes.  He kept on saying that its time to change his wardrobe now that his new job requires constant out of the office business or client meetings, site inspections and management meetings. All of his casual shirts are quite outdated and he needed some chic clothes.  Since he has less time to shop on weekdays and during weekends he probably want to spent his time with us and the whole family so he said he should check on some online shop and Ethical Ocean does all the job.  Now, he’s more excited than I am when it comes to shopping.  He keeps on telling me that he saves a lot of time. 

 

One thing he likes to do is to buy biodegradable products.  It’s been quite an environmental issues and helping save our environment in our own way can make a big difference. It felt so good knowing that you can help and that’s why we shop during the day that a certain mall uses only paper bags in replace of their usual plastic bags.  I just hope that many can realize the real value of doing that.  We can still save the world if we practice discipline in handling our waste.

Shots and Lunch

I am so lazy to wake up early and at the back of my mind saying “its weekend, I deserve to sleep longer” but having a baby who wakes up early everyday and just keep pinching your face, I don’t think I will ever get my wish for now. And we also had our 2nd shot on HPV vaccine yesterday at the office so I need to do things faster. I’ve met with my girl colleagues and as planned we went to eat at Serye Restaurant where we crave and ordered for the boneless crispy pata. We can feel the pain in our left arms with the vaccine finally seeping in but no one can stop us to enjoy the delicious foods in front of us. We finished our meal with a dessert called mango rhum cake and I wonder if I can make that cake in the future.






We headed to a nearby Shopwise super mart and little Hail suddenly asked her mom if Chelle and I are her godmother. We laughed and decided to play along but we end up buying her a pair of Dora sandals in which we saw how happy she was with that simple gesture. Even with simple things we gave them, they will reward you with their prettiest smile and cute thank you’s. We end up buying in a bakery supplies for my baking needs like parchment paper and a pie pan. I have this urge to bake again.

Happy Weekend!

Good Investment

We all know that having an average job or work may sometimes not enough to carry on with our everyday expenses, especially when you are having 2 or more children in your family. So during break time at work we have some discussion on how to venture on some small business that can help us in our monthly income. Who doesn’t want to become a millionaire someday? But we can only think of how much money we should invest to make that a reality.

But my boss always talks about entering the stock market. He never fails to convince us to try it. He said we can do it even without having a big money to invest. And some of us seem to agree with his idea since he said there are so many ways to win on stock market. He will teach us to invest in hot penny stocks and be successful on it. I hope this year we can make it possible.

Hot Rainy Days

We were supposed to feel the cold weather since it keeps raining every afternoon, but no, we are experiencing the opposite. Majority of our warehouse air conditioners failed and were put on standby for repair so when it rains, the heat of the soil and the cement just come out leaving us in a very irritable situation while working. The electric fan were using doesn’t help and I wonder how can you ever work on such environment?

But good thing we can always think of how we can fight the heat in our working place. My colleague suggested buying an ice cream, but since not everybody can contribute, we decided to buy an ice cream cone. It was such a reliever and we can only wish there’s a refreshment area in our office canteen. But there’s none and we have to buy in the nearest Mercury Drug outlet. But at least it helps, and I wonder how many more ice cream we will consume before they can fix our aircon. May somebody help us.

Assembly Time

Even I’m in pain and hubby wanted me to stay home and go to the doctor to check on my left hand, I can’t just shake the feeling that we have an activity going on in our office and our company will have a 2nd general assembly this year. So I endure the pain, take a pain medicine, wrapped my hand with a bandage and went to the office.

It looks different, just like we had last Christmas party. The place was well decorated, the waiters were in their full uniforms and I can see that the food is catered. And my instinct kicks in, I just had that feeling that something new will happen, and I’m right. It was not an ordinary general assembly, there’s a raffle draw, the famous Barrio Fiesta restaurant was our caterer, the announcement that we will receive a P900 ($21.4) gift certificate from winning an award abroad, and our rainy company outing this September. We enjoyed the “bring me” games they held and most of us participated. We wished on having the grand raffle prize of a Lenovo laptop but we were just as happy like those who got the major prizes, some guys have all the luck.


my overflowing halo-halo :)))


filipino foods (kare-kare, chicken galantina, lechon kawali and pansit canton) from Barrio Fiesta



I know I will pay the price by stressing my hand again during our wall to wall counting but I can’t just leave them working by themselves, I need to help at least for some few hours. I hope it will be okay. I can’t spend my weekend crying over the pain in my left hand.

Intense

It was so intense that I literally crying in our bed and I keep on sending messages to hubby to come home.  My left hand suddenly felt the pain and I lose the grip on my fingers because of that.  Every time I move it, the pain sent something within insides of my body and I really wanted to cry out loud.  Nathan moves fast around our bed and I'm so worried that I might not get a hold on him if he goes at the edge and fall.  So I pick him up and give him to my mother in law telling them my left hand is in real pain.  I really can’t move and I sent a text message to our neighbor who knows how to do the traditional massage. When she came to our room, I was silently crying that she was shocked to see that my hand swelled like that, she talks about the cold and my hands were tired and stressed that I get them wet, but I knew it might be something else. 



And so I pleaded, I begged and I kept drinking water when she began stroking my hand, It was so painful that I think I'll die if she continue doing it.  But I can imagine that after that torture massage, my left hand felt good and she wrapped it with a bandage and told me not to wash my left hand for 1 day. Oh my! But i'll take her advise, I dont want to experience that kind of pain ever again.  After a while I took a pain medicine and thank God I sleep well that night feeling only the slightest pain. :)

Angel Smile

Nathan can really pose for the pictures.  But only if he is in good mood, because if not, there’s no way you can make him smile for a shot so good thing a SLR camera helps to captured  that  heavenly smile.  So when my eldest sister put a "bandana" or a big handkerchief on his head, she rushed to me carrying my baby and told me to take a picture while Nathan is in his playful mood.  And it was fantastic! He really looks angelic and fabulous in every picture and I hope one day, I can find time to study basic photography so I can have a better shot on him as he grows.   

 

Just take a look on this handsome shots of our baby Nate :)

Birthday Leave

It’s my birthday leave yesterday and as I promised to my best friend, I went to their house in las pinas and bring along baby Nathan with me. I guess it her deal to bring Nathan with me because she can only see Nathan on my album in Face book. I’m afraid that Nathan will not go to her because she is new to him but my buddy proves otherwise. She makes friends with Nathan right away by giving him some of Angel’s toys and Nathan was very happy with that. I also bring my eldest sister with me because we will go to SM later that day and I didn’t bring Nate’s stroller with us.


How my friend wishes for another baby but they are having a difficult time conceiving after Angel. We talked about many other things while Nathan’s played with Angel’s angry bird collections. But suddenly Nathan’s feel asleep and we decided to just wait with my friend so she can drop us in SM before she goes to pick up Angel in her school. But we just had a deal before we separate, we need to lose weight before Nathan’s first birthday! Haha! Good luck! But we agreed on a free dinner on whoever wins this deal. I really need to focus on this. He he.

Celebrating my Special day

A minute after 12mn, hubby suddenly played children birthday song to my amazement, he’s been quite for sometime but I’m not expecting anything from him since he already gave me all the things I wished for. But knowing my hubby, he will not celebrate my birthday without anything to give to his beloved wife. And then he asked for my old Samsung mp3 that’s not working perfectly well now since I always drop it countless of time, I remember asking him to replace it but I thought I can still use it so I didn’t press the matter to him.


But when he said that my mp3 really looked old I noticed a shining mp3 beside our bed and I scream, wow! Because it’s not just an ordinary mp3, it’s the latest iPod nano! I couldn’t be happier having a new mp3 and just the same, hubby gave it to me. I so love my husband. He never fails to surprise me.

Later that night we went to Zensai Spa in BF Paranaque to use the vouchers I purchased online. We attended the mass nearby and we decided to walk going to the spa. It has a Japanese ambiance, and we went to a little house that looks like an old Japanese houses before and the only thing I wished they have is the shower room before the spa because I feel so sticky hot. But the free collagen mask was very refreshing and really cools me. I gave their massage a 7/10; I still prefer the old “hilot” style.


We ate at Shakey’s pizza to avail my free large pizza because I have a shakeys card. My sister and niece wait for us in the house to celebrate my birthday and us rock and roll in our videoke singing our hearts out. Most of my friends greet me in face book and twitter and I’m so happy having friends that I can get along so well. It’s been a blast and I thank God for all the wonderful blessings and a supportive family. More blessings to come!

Fully Booked

August is my birth month and I can’t think of a day during my special day that it’s not raining.  Our local bureau said that we have a couple of strong typhoon entering our country and most likely the landfall will be on August 7, my birthday.  Oh well, I hope it will not ruin our plans that day and the weather will spare me from getting wet.  Hmm… I can’t help but to think that I’m getting a year older again.  But aside from some petty family problems, I am happy now that we have baby Nathan, hubby is in good company and starting a new life at work there and we can do whatever we want during weekends and with Nathan can now join us. 

 

I just want to start this month eyeing on many opportunities that may come our way.  My brother will come home this August 4, his twins will celebrate their 4th birthday on August 6, and my Mom’s birthday will be on August 23. See, were fully booked this month. But next month will mark the start of BER months and the countdown to Christmas but Nathan’s birthday will come first :)
