We went to Hanauma Bay again today and it was great. It took me time to walk going down the beach (me being pregnant) but it was worth it. Just take a look at these unedited pictures :)

It really is beautiful back there :-) . So whenever you want to visit Honolulu, Hawaii; do not forget to snorkel at Hanauma Bay. Your hotel can direct you on how to visit the place, if not, drop me a line and I will give you the direction and tips :) .

Some fishes that my husband was swimming with in Hanauma :-) . FYI, we do not know the name of each fishes so we only call them “the fish” :-D

I miss doing this :( ! I used to be so active on the beach with my husband tagging me along with him (I call him my big fish cause he loves the ocean so much). I slowly changed my beach activities when I started being pregnant and right now that I am on my 6 months of pregnancy, it’s getting even slower.

My baby’s getting heavier each week and with all the kicking and sleepless nights, I get so lazy in the morning.

I need to do this too..

Halfway with my CCNA course, I got pregnant so when I finished the course I wasn’t able to focus on my CCNA review and wasn’t able to take any CCND.. ARGH!@#! It’s long been overdue, I really need to hit it or else I’ll have some real hard time when my baby comes.

Also, I have to set up my dental appointment as well as Fox’s vet appointment. I’m due for teeth cleaning since 2 months ago and Fox needed his shots this month. If I won’t do any of what I listed here tomorrow, I’ll go on ‘sweets’ diet..I swear.

Any football junkie wives out there like me :-)?

It’s NCAAF kick off week!! And if you are a big football junkie like me, I bet you money you are glued in your tv right now :) .

We started our college football season with watching my team USC playing against Hawaii last thursday. I had a blast, it was awesome..although USC’s defense performance was terrible not that good. I know, they are penalized for two years, they can’t go to any bowl but hey it doesn’t mean that they’ll give thier fans a crappy game right?

They won last thursday but it was very unsatisfactory. I remember a year ago and some few years back, they always dominate the field, you will always have a hard time penetrating the defense but last Thursday, it’s as if I was watching a different team.

It might be because most of the good players were drafted and are on NFL right now or maybe a new coach or I don’t know but I’m hoping that they’ll do better on the next game.

By the way, thanks hubby for our date that day. It was awesome, it was great, I could never ask for a better gift. Now 2 more wishes that I would really want us to do, to watch an NFL game on stadium and an NBA game in court :-) .

Oh yeah I am a big sports junkie LOL :-P , but never blame it on me, my husband will take all the blame. He got me into this, this is the result of him not letting me go with his former officemates wives (some 3 years ago) while they’re having a football party in our house; instead he’ll let me sit down and mingle with his friends..kinda like I’m one of the boys LOL.

So I don’t shop when there’s football game but he does shop for me, the jerseys of my favorite players :-D

Let it go..

The recent Ms. Universe pageant created a ‘buzz’ around the internet with Ms. Philippines (my kababayan) Venus Raj answer …’ no major major problem..’

Some call the question to be dumb in the first place so therefore how can we expect her to answer it smartly..

Some says “it’s a lame question so Baldwin recieved a lame answer …and so on. And there are some that says, it’s a challenging question that even those smart ones are having a hard time answering this impromptu question.

For however you perceived, processed and understand her answer and the question; the fact remains that it’s not so nice of you or any of us to ridicule her and make fun of her answer. Just let it go and thank her for trying her best, she made us proud, she became the headline carrying our country’s name with no “bombings, killings, corruption and etc ” attached to it.. She also fought til the end and made it to top 5.

I’m not saying I like her answer but who am I to say what’s wrong or right? Of course I percieved it differently but my right could be wrong in yours. There may be an argument of ‘she could have answererd better’..like have a courage and admit your mistake and learn from it.. and I agree on this BUT…

Oh well, I guess this is a call for a lesson learned. If we want to win, we need to expose and train our candidates more on dealing with Q and A’s. On the spot question infront of millions of viewers is really nerve-wracking so more exposure og training pa jud..lol.

I am and will always be proud to be pinay (bisdak)!

Did you pre-order your kindle yet?

I’ve been longing to buy an ebook reader but stopped myself since I’ve been waiting for any of the ebook reader prices to go down. And oh boy, I’m glad that I waited. Last week (if I remembered it right?) Kindle announces that they will be releasing a new version of kindle with a built in wifi and with a cheaper price of $139. That’s amazing isn’t it?

It’s cheaper compared to Sony ereader and Nook, the wifi capability is awesome and I’ve heard that one of the feature is it’s integrated with twitter and facebook? Whoaa, if this is true, what else can you ask for? I am a heavy reader, I love to read, love to discover new things and it’s my favorite past time (aside of course from shopping ~ lol) and i love facebook too lol (who doesn’t?).

I’ve already pre-ordered my kindle from Amazon :) , BTW, if you’re new on Amazon and wants to take advantage of their credit card promotion; Amazon is giving a $40 free credit (free money) by just signing up (you have to be approved too inorder to get this). It’s tested and proven, I signed up last month and had been enjoying the benefits since then (there’s a point system too where you will earn points for every purchase).

But just a precautionary, use your credit card the way you use your debit card, pay your balances on time, don’t overspend so you can pay it on time. The credit card company will give you at least a month to pay it off. If you pay it off on time, you would not incur any charges, you earn the $40 free money, you have a 1 month allocated time to pay for what you purchased and you even earn points that you can convert into cash, gifts or might even be an airline mileage (who knows). That’s awesome isn’t it? Not to mention that you are building up a beautiful credit score ;-)

I’m back on EC (entrecard) dropping!

It’s been ages since I last check my EC (entrecard) and I’m glad that I started being active again. I’ve completed my 300 drops today and will try to continue doing it.

It’s nice to discover and visit new blogs everyday, to hear(read) other people’s minds, point of views, daily lives and anything that they feel like sharing. There are thousands if not millions of bloggers around the globe, although there are some minor glitches on some blogs; it still didn’t hinder me to keep on clicking and reading.

I just hope that some bloggers would take into account that loading heavy graphics, video’s and tons of different ads (advertisement) freezes up somebody else computer lol (I’m talking about mine). Minimize it a bit and I promise, I’ll keep on visiting your site.

There were websites that I really want to read but alas, I didn’t use a T1 connection so it wouldn’t load..

The pop-ups are fine since I have a pop up blocker but the tons of video’s and heavy graphics (photo’s) and music files are annoying..lol.

I want to read your blog and will want to be a follower but how can I do so when I can’t even open your website? :(

19 Weeks pregnant and counting

The first picture is when we found out that we’re having a son

I’m 19 weeks pregnant :) this week and will be on my 20th next week. I can’t beleive how time flies very quickly..you know, pretty soon I’ll have my lil one with me.

My belly is getting bigger and bigger each week and I eat like a horse every meal time; that’s 2 cups of rice every morning, another 2 @ noon and another 2 @ night LOL. My cups are really not that big but they are doubled from what I’m used to. I love eating sweet foods too although I discipline myself into that, just as long as I can eat a scoop of ice cream or a glass of smoothie everyday, I’m good with that.

14-weeks-pregnantHealth wise, I’m back on the gym too :) and I am very happy about that. I walk the track for around 30 minutes and I lift some weights for another 20 to 30 minutes. I use to lift around 20 to 30lbs but I’m only doing 10lbs right now. I don’t want to strain myself and my baby.

And my baby boy…

He’s very active, he loves to kick mommy and wakes me up every 9am (our usual wake up time, I would know it because he’ll start kicking around this time and it hurts). There are times (night time) when he’s so active that it get’s uncomfy and I can’t sleep at all, so he pretty much keep me awake until 2 in the morning.

He loves his daddy’s hold though, whenever his daddy would touch him (put his hand on my belly) he settles down right away and I can rest (so that’s my trick lol ~shhhh, don’t tell him).14-weeks-pregnant2The photo above and this one is taken @ Hanauma Bay, Hawaii  when I was 14 weeks pregnant

And oh, I already started buying clothes for him, as early as 3 weeks ago. It’s never too early when you live here in the States (wala may nanay na mutabang~ walang mama na mahihingan ng tulong); the earlier I get to buy and get everything ready; the better. It’s just going to be me and my husband, it might look a lil tough but we’re looking forward to it (there are no rewind or pause..lol).

It’s going to be August pretty soon and I am looking forward on the 6th of August, that will be my 3rd ultrasound and I get to see my palangga again :) .. can’t wait :-)

I am planning on selling my books

I love to read and I have tons of books accumulated over the past months. Since I don’t read it again, I plan to sell my books online. That is why I’ve been looking for website where I can sell books and that it only caters on book selling. It is always an advantage if the website will specialize for 1 product only.

I think it would be more effective to sell in this type of website don’t you think?
