Injured Girls

Mia and I are on house arrest.

I started having this funny feeling last Saturday in a wedding we were attending.  I thought I just overate, but the "earthquake" feeling in my tummy didn't go away until I surrendered and went to my OB last Monday.  And to think I was postponing it to Thursday!

Mia on the other hand started with cough and colds.  It has now progressed to fever.  Crossing my fingers that it isn't dengue.  Hopefully it's just a weather thing.

This picture was taken from the wedding last Saturday, Mia's 7th flower girl stint.  I was on my 30th week then.  I'm at 31 weeks now.  We don't want me giving birth right now.  My OB says we need to wait at least 32 weeks to make sure the lungs are fully formed.

My urinalysis results are out and it's leaning towards UTI.  Once this is treated, I hope the trembling shaking thing goes away.  For now, I'm on bed rest day 2.  I would have never thought I'd do this.  Oh well, there's a first for everything.

Week 15

Week 15: At my cousin's engagement (EDSA Shangri-la Hotel)

I'm so glad my first trimester is over.  I can legally exercise (according to my doctor not to my mom).  I don't sleep like there's no tomorrow.  I don't puke at really tasty food.  And I don't feel tired all the time like I'm carrying an elephant.

Happy Birthday to Meeeee...



Oompa Loompa. My birthday the last time I was pregnant.



So many things have happened in the past few weeks that I have forgotten to realize that this is the last week that I'll be 20 *cough* 8.  And I quote a new hire, "I'm guessing you're 28 or 29 because you have a kid in maybe Grade 1... But you really look 25." Naks!  Thanks for the disclaimer, but no that's not part of your regularization process.  And pwede naman akong 19 kung gusto mong pilitin, and I just got pregnant when I was 14, if you want...

Month of Love

Since it's the month of loveeeeee, I want to share with you our not so long lost wedding video.  There are two of these, just search for the other one if you find this one amusing.

This was one of our AVPs in our wedding done by Nice Print Photo.  Enjoy!

Mommy and Me(ow)

Left: Zara Right: H&M

One of our few(Tears!) purchases from Hong Kong.  This is my first dibs on animal print.  It's my daughter's THIRD pair.  I'm not even counting the animal print clothes that she has.  More on Hong Kong in my next blog entries.

P.S. Should I even mention that her pair is THREE times more expensive than mine?  I demand equal rights!

Happy Yoga Birthday to Me!

It's been two years since I first started.  In between, I got dengue, a "real" job, and a few trips here and there.  I tried other exercises but I still go back to Bikram.

Standing head to knee

Just like any birthday, I celebrated it... With yoga practice.  I even had a guest.  Haha.  Thanks Em for practicing with me.

Here's to two years and counting!

*Thanks Dana for the picture.

Signature Pose

I am inspired by Bianca Gonzales' tumbling shot pose.  Check out her September 10, 2011 entry (I can't link it directly, you have to look for it).  Amazing!  Makes me want to have my signature pose.  No, I will not do a model pose like Mia's.  That's her signature.

Anyways, take that Kim Chiu!  Yes, I know she's not competing with me but I think mine is fairly decent.  So I guess this was the pose they were channeling for this advertisement.

Pigeon pose. I made the picture distorted. Duh.

My officemate suggested this be my signature pose.  Hindi ko kaya!

1. My clothes will get dirty.
2. I will look ridiculous.
3. I will look ridiculous.
4. I will look ridiculous.
5. My husband will disown me.

This list is in no particular order.

We Got Featured!

By WE, I mean, Mia’s picture and my name acknowledged as the photographer.

I didn’t even know our picture got posted until Mia’s classmate’s mom posted it on my wall.

Thanks for the heads up!

It may not be the Sartorialist, but we're getting there.  Ambisyosa!

Yumyum Abs

I have a gut.

It’s not funny and probably next to my hair, is the most annoying part of my body.

Craft Pub and Grill



What happened that night- in a nutshell

One of my good friends from college visited Manila for a 2 week vacation.  We decided to party hard whatever that means.  We decided to have dinner in Craft Pub and Grill and proceed to Amber afterwards.

Craft Pub and Grill is located in Unit E- The Fort Strip.  It’s the same place where Prince of Jaipur, Embassy and Cuisine were located before (Uy! Signs of aging, wala na sila).  I got there an hour early so I had time to pretend I was not a loser.  Good thing Craft had free wifi BUT I didn’t understand why the waitress had to type the password.  Do they really not share their password or was the password so complicated she had to type it herself?

What a day!

We had an out of town trip today.  The funny thing is, with all that Mia saw today, this was what was most memorable.


A Rainbow!

The best things in life are free.  Funny how a kid should be the one to remind you of that perspective.

Get ready for a photo heavy post tomorrow!
