Temporarily Disabled

A friend’s son suffered an injury while playing his favorite sport, soccer. He twisted his ankle over the weekend. This I heard after the NBA Eastern Conference Finals which went to Miami and the stunning loss of Manny Pacquiao against Tim Bradley. Indeed our weekend was full of sports news and happenings, eh? Anyway, there is no permanent damage to the boy. His doctor just suggested the use of one of those knee scooters so his ankle will not be forced too much while it heals. I wish he gets better soon.

Nice Vacation Home

I was just browsing friend walls in Facebook when I came across a high school classmate’s newly uploaded photos from their vacation. As I cannot go on one in the near future, I vicariously went through friends (like this recent trip of theirs). Their family rented a villa up the mountains. The porch even have a wood-burning fire pit for those cold nights and I can just smell the pine trees around the house in my head! :) I will have to ask her about the details of their trip so I can plan based on their itinerary…when I am able to travel again.

Why Dinosaurs got extinct

Ever wondered why and how the dinosaurs got extinct? Maybe this was why:

LMAO! Sorry for this corny post but I really found the image too hilarious not to share. I can just imagine the look on their faces when they realized the ark left without them…because they missed the date. Harhar. Such comic relief ;)

Memorial Day

This is is late greeting but Happy Memorial Day to friends and family in the US. My hands have been full (very!) after the birth of the new baby, that’s why I haven’t been online that much. Anyway, I have seen lots of Memorial Day celebration pictures so I am guessing that more than the Sales, people had a meaningful break. Some went to the beach or lake, others had picnics. One friend even looked for broil king grills at GrillsDirect.com beforehand so they can have a nice BBQ party in their backyard. I just finished talking to my sister via Facetime and they are already pooped from all the  activities over the weekend. What a fun long weekend, huh?

Here’s some cheers for all the heroes of the US :)

It’s Time :)

Homestretch

I have really reached the homestretch. I am giving birth soon. When I say soon, I mean within the week. We are finally meeting our second princess in a few days. This pregnancy is so much different than the first one. I am more on my toes this time, with the weight struggle and all. But everything is looking up especially after my check up yesterday. Our stuff is ready, and should I go into labor before the scheduled C-section, we can go to the hospital anytime.

 

I am starting to get really excited about giving birth :)

Authentic Fragrances at a Discount

My high school classmate is into distribution of perfumes and she has a stall in GH. I always buy from her because I know she will not scam me and sell me fake ones. I am telling you, her merchandise consists of authentic labels. She sources those discount fragrances from abroad so she is able to pass the items to her patrons at a discounted rate too. Just holler if you need to get perfumes and I will try to hook you up with her.

Best Job in the World

Everyday seems like a challenge. I guess every mother around the world will have to agree with me? But I will never exchange being a mom to my K and Boo (who’s arriving real soon) for anything else. Yes it is difficult to be a mother but the rewards are far more relevant than the setbacks :) A hug or a kiss or a giggle can wipe the worries away.

I would like to share this P&G TVC for the 2012 Olympics. So heartwarming it made me cry, gave me goosebumps too. Cheers to all mothers!

Nice Mother’s Day Gift

Mother’s Day is coming up (next weekend) and I sure a lot of dads and kids are thinking of a nice gift for the moms. I saw this pandora bracelet from Bajul and isn’t it perfect?

The matching accessories will complete the look, I think. As for me, I am not expecting any gift. The arrival of our second princess is enough for me to celebrate motherhood with the people I love.

Hydrate, Hydrate, Hydrate!

The weather is not very friendly these days. We have been experiencing 34-36C temperatures and that is not fun at all. I find myself thirsty all the time! Of course I am drinking more water than usual, especially that I am pregnant, I feel the heat twice as much. Folks, remember to keep hydrating yourselves. Tell everyone in your household to do the same. A friend just posted that their neighbor’s driver is now in a coma after suffering from heatstroke. Apparently, the poor guy stayed on an open car park while waiting for the boss. Sad. I hate to hear news like that, especially that it can be avoided. Stay cool people!
