Things that your author needs to get done

Sep 10th, 2010

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.

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.

Health 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).The 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

Letting the chips fall where they may

Enough of all the drama!!! ARGH?!@# Nothing will happen if I sulk or let some mishaps affect me the way it did for the past couple of months.

I need to let go and let the chips fall where they may..

I have my little one inside me that needs more of my attention and a future that needs more carving. That’s why I am letting it go this time, let go everything..I don’t need to reiterate, I’ll just bore you lol.

I don’t have any ill feelings towards them, I was hurting before writing this but I feel good now, I finally got it off my chest and I just realize that it wasn’t worth it. You were never a true friend after all, namungot ra diay ka nako..hehe, pero ok ra kay I know you are not even worthy to be called my friend.

Oh well, I may made a mistake of shutting my door for other friendship in the past couple of months in favor of you but I’m over it and I’m embracing my new beginning with a warm smile.

Goodluck to you and thanks for the memories..

It feel so right when you open your mailbox and read this kind of message

Your Baby’s Development

* By the middle of the second trimester, the baby is about 8 inches long and weighs half a pound.
* The baby’s bones are hard and the joints flexible.
* Now the mother can feel the baby’s kicks and rolls. Even hiccups can be felt on occasion.
* Eyelashes begin to appear.

Can’t wait for him or her to be here….

I am back from a LONG hiatus

I am on my 14th week on the family way (pregnant) and I’m still vomiting and nauseating like I’m still on my first trimester . I don’t retain much of my daily food intake and I’m not even eating good. I have no appetite at all.

It’s a little depressing but I don’t want to get depressed since it’s bad for my baby. I started calling my Dr yesterday and she prescribed me with a pill for my excessive vomiting and nauseating and I’m hoping that this will work. I so want to be healthy for my baby.

And that’s the latest update of my life. I know I haven’t been updating my blogs for a year, it’s just that, I cannot find a balance between being a career-person, a full time wife and a full time student that’s why I have to gave up my blogging.

When I found out that I am pregnant and that it is a difficult one, I made my decision to quit my job and just concentrate on starting to be a mom. There was no regret on me quitting my job, I do love working but it’s time for me to start building my own family.

Ohh I forgot to mention, I worked at Gategourmet HNL before, as an information specialist. I took care of the company vital info specs wise. I had fun working with my buddies back there, to Arnold, Kimo, Fred, Nat, Turia, Chef Aldo, Chef Aaron, David Painter..thanks a bunch for the wonderful time I had with you guys.

And to all my readers/followers..thank you so much for dropping by and visiting me. I’m here and I’m back

Halo halo anyone? Lol .. I had one when we went to Max’s Manila in Waipahu. Max’s is a Filipino Resto (chain) that’s famous back home. It caters mostly filipino delicacy like sisig, dinuguan, pork chop and etc.

If you happen to stop by in Honolulu, don’t forget to check it out! It’s worth the drive and the traffic time especially if you missed some foods back home.

Here’s the address and contact info:

Ste F8, 94-300 Farrington Highway

Picking some mangoes from its tree

by Gladys Erhardt.

1 comment

One of the most beautiful things that you can do in Hawaii is to pick/pluck some Asian fruit from its tree , that is of course aside from going to the beach and such .

We’re both crazy with mangoes, but there’s a little twist on it..we like it tart, and by plucking it right from the tree is a big bonus. It feels like I’m back in the Philippines again
