It’s past one in the morning and I’m still blogging! I have another doctor’s appointment later at 8am and I’m still awake! I am tired but not sleepy yet. I have a lot of thoughts in my head especially after a very exciting evening, LOL! Get some shut-eye, I must! But first I need to clean Abi’s bottles!
Mommy mode now. Laters, peeps!
:p
You’d think I am old enough that I should know what I want to do with my life. Sure I am married and I have a baby, I am happy…yet I feel there is something missing career-wise. Though I earn a measly amount from doing some writing (that justifies my online purchases!), I feel I need to do some more.
Getting another degree online crossed my mind. Why not right? Especially that schools like Capella University have made learning at home available to those who wish to study some more. I can choose one of their certificate programs or get another degree altogether (well I just recently realized I am leaning towards arts). Later I can probably listen to the university’s ‘Inside Online Education’ podcasts so I can have enough information and probably make up my mind about schooling again.

I met my old church friends for the second time in less than a week! That’s rare! Cherrie and Jojo agreed to treat everyone before Jeff leaves for abroad again.
It was another buffet Dinner but this time we met at Dad’s West Avenue, I was stuffed yet again! I was late because it was raining and I’m not so used to driving my brother’s car…nah, I left home later than I should, LOL! It’s really nice to spend some time catching up with friends.
Thank you, thank you thank you! Sa uulitin!!

I visited my HMO clinic yesterday afternoon to consult with an Internist. I was honest to say that I did not continue with my maintenance medication for my cholesterol. I told the doctor that I worry about my liver. Hehe. But I went to visit to ask for another prescription (since I already stopped breastfeeding, I can take a better med) and I said I am more committed to taking them. The doctor says, it is their responsibility to monitor my liver and that I should weigh what I want: let my paranoia eat me or lower my cholesterol? I chose the latter especially that my BP was 130/100 and I’ve been palpitating since the weekend.
Now I have to take two meds, one in the morning and one before bedtime. Plus I need to record my daily BP. I will return to see the doctor again in two weeks and I am scheduled to have another blood test in six weeks.
I will not be hard-headed this time. Promise :)
How many times do I have to say that days sure flies fast?!? I can’t imagine it’s already June! In a few weeks, Hubby and I will be celebrating our third wedding anniversary. I wonder what gift to give him and what gift to ask from him, LOL! I’m thinking a nice fashion jewelry, a necklace perhaps? I went ahead and looked online for some ‘inspiration’! Teehee.
I window-shopped at Holsted Jewelers again where I found some nice pendants for necklaces :D And they’re all affordable, too! I’m sure Hubby can consider buying there (wink! wink! Ane! No pressures LOL!). And they ship international, woohoo! That’s what this online store offers best, fashionable jewelry that does not burn the pockets and made easily available! Plus, when Hubby would choose to buy me one of those jewelry sets, then he just might save a big amount. I love that the designs are kinda unique because I do not like seeing the same things on someone else. And I dig that the pieces aren’t real (but looks so much the real deal!) because I tend to lose things, hehe.
If Ane is reading this, then he might say “But Father’s Day will come up first!” Yeah right! Then I should be looking for a gift for him first LOL!
1. Ane babysitting Abi everytime I need to go out for a while (like last night, and this afternoon and tomorrow morning!).I stopped watching the news for a while, and I am waiting for the scandal issue to die down a bit. I say it can get tiring seeing them faces on TV, even the Senate is all gaga over it. I’m sure you know what I’m talking about.
Anyway, just my two cents: it’s kinda alarming that the “star" of the show is turning the table on the supposed victim and totally changing the issue. Drug use came up. Why don’t they just go ahead and have themselves tested? The government (they’re meddling anyway) or their families can send them to drug rehab, if in case the results are positive, right? There are already very good rehab centers, like the one in Florida, that can help them back on the right track.
Drug abuse has been one of the cancers of this society. There’s more to it than just a young celebrity and a doctor pointing fingers at each other. End the circus and deal with the bigger problems, people.
Okay, back to regular programming :)
Abi and Sissy, fourth month. Watch her grow! Last month’s picture :)
She is now 5.2kilos and gained significantly. Her last Pedia visit was a cry-fest because she fell asleep while waiting for her turn and got upset when she awoke for her turn. She was injected with her second DPT-Polio shot and she was screaming, hehe. Over-all, her Doc said she’s a well baby :)
The month of May was full of laughter because Abi can now do some little tricks and she also learned to “converse”. She appreciates being talked to and shows it by chuckling and showing off her big gummy smile :) She likes it when I carry her and we would stand in front of the mirror then I make faces! I now read to/with her and she also appreciates the colors and the images of the storybooks. I know she enjoys reading time because her eyes widen every time the pages are turned and intently looks at the pictures :) We let her sit and watch cartoons once a day. She still slips though, but demands to be seated already! I say her attention span is longer than mine, LOL kidding :)
She also enjoys tummy time. One time I was teaching her to hold her neck. She followed me once, dropped her head and slept! That’s how much she enjoys being on her tummy LOL! Needless to say, she can hold her head on her own yet a bit wobbly still. A variation of the tummy time is when I put her on my chest. She loves it, especially when I sing to her because it calms her down (so I like that too haha). I also sing to her at night after the bedtime prayer so she could sleep.
Her grasp is getting stronger but I feel we need to practice her more. She now licks and sucks on fingers, hands, arms or any exposed skin even if the skin isn’t hers! Haha! And she promptly sticks out her tongue as a reflex when her chin is tickled :) Lately, though, she’s not doing it anymore, maybe she got bored?!? LOL.
Towards the end of her third month (at 3months and 3 weeks), she rolled on her tummy by herself and turned me into a proud Mommy :) She dominates the bed now, with her rolling and rotating tricks hehe.
I think that’s it for this month :) Of course I shall return if I forget something hehe. May pictures are here :)
Ay! Exciting! I cannot wait for November! Jacob is hot! :) But I am still for Edward. Thanks Diane for sharing!
I was offline most of the day yesterday. I was palpitating (from dawn ‘til dusk!) and had to just rest. My BP was normal, so I was wondering what that was about! I am going to see the Internist this Wednesday and will probably start getting serious about the maintenance meds. Someone emailed me about ephedra sinica, so maybe I can consult the doctor about it too. I think I also need to cut down on my food intake and diet. I heard nuphedra might help if I can't be disciplined about my diet, kwim?
Anyway, I had a good rest yesterday watching Spelling Bee Finals ‘09 during lunch, FRIENDS Season 1 marathon in the afternoon, and then finally French Open Round 4 around bedtime. Such a couch/bed potato, LOL!
Now I need to be up and about so I can finish my tasks! Happy Monday everyone! I hope we’ll all have a good week!
