Calling it a night...or morning!

I did not notice the time! It is already quarter to three...in the morning!!! No wonder I am all tired, and palpitating! Geesh, I'm on a blog roll! How I wish I have the same mojo to scrap, LOL! I plan to scrap real soon, though, so I can make use of my free photobooks from Artscow, and especially that I learned a neat trick from Amore (use of another software, aha!)

Wait. Mareng Beng and to all my other readers, if you want 1200 FREE prints (pay for shipping only), click here :) This isn't a hoax, I just ordered my fourth batch of prints and I expect to receive them in about two weeks :)

Okay peeps, hitting the sack now :) Will do an Abi update after mass today. Laters!! :)

Leak!

While doing the marathon posts, I heard water dripping in the bathroom. I decided to take a look because I don't like wasting water. Alas, the faucet seems busted again! I guess we have to call the plumber to fix it. This house needs some serious renovations! If I can have it my way, I would choose to install a Delta faucet, so most likely we won't need fixing in a couple of years afterwards. I went to the website and found out that these kind of faucets are of high quality yet stylish.

To the husband and brothers, I hope you won't ask me what I'm talking about ;p But we can discuss what needs to be done, hmkay? :D

Dinner out with friends :)

Friday night, Ane allowed me to go meet my friends for dinner at Kamay Kainan in Trinoma. He and Abi would have gone with me especially that Mons. Bart haven't met Klaire yet. But the paranoid mommy that I am, decided to let them stay home, hehe. It was a good night chatting with friends and a welcome break for me. Thanks Ane for letting me go and for babysitting Abi :) The dinner was for Jeff who is in town for a vacation (he also sponsored the dinner, yey, thanks!). And as if the hours we spent together wasn't enough, we are meeting again this Wednesday and they were kind enough to set it near here (note that they all live in Bulacan!), Saisaki EDSA.

See you guys again real soon! Thanks Beng for the pics :)

Poor Betty!

Have you heard? I was honestly surprised since it's been a while since I had my Archie comics fix.

In issue 600, available in stores in September, Archie will propose to Veronica in time for their graduation from Riverdale High School.

My heart breaks for Betty. When my brother told me about the news, the first thing I asked him was "How about Betty?!?" I know it's always been Ronnie in Archie's heart but I've been wishing Archie would realize Betty is the better girl for him.

Maybe I'll grab a copy and see how it will go. But deep in my heart, I'm hoping there will be a twist and Archie will have a change of heart.

Yes, I'm "Team Betty" all the way!

I need a makeover!

When Ane forgot to bring back some of my panlakad clothes from Malabon, I started to complain again that I have nothing to wear anymore. I know I have enough but I think I am now bored with my wardrobe. See, the last time I shopped for myself was in December and those clothes I cannot wear anymore because they're maternity blouses! And I'm glad that Ane said I could now schedule shopping and he will provide me the budget! Yay!

Problem is, I'm not really into shopping. Heck I can even buy wholesale clothing, wear the same things over and over again and I would still feel okay. But I feel I really need to update my wardrobe badly! I am so ready to bid goodbye to losyangness (of course I made up that word!).

Gawd, I need a stylist!

Abi is four months old today!

My little Klaire turned four months old today. Ane had work so we just stayed at home, and in the afternoon I bough a cake and had Pancit delivered here. Plus I choose staying home these days (or at least not bringing Abi where the crowd is big) because I am one paranoid mommy. The AH1N1 scare is turning me into a big worry-wart!

 

I will have a longer Abi update entry later when I’m done with some work.  I had limited internet time today so I have a lot of catching up to do! :)

Declutter

I have been meaning to organize and de-clutter our Quezon City room. I already did some cleaning before I gave birth to Abi but I feel I can organize some more. Our space is limited that I feel I can do so much better. I already have those large 18'' x 18" x 16" moving boxes (you know those types used as Balikbayan boxes), to be marked “for storage in Malabon” and “for charity”. These boxes are best for the stuff like books and toys. And I can probably buy boxes for the clothes. Now, all I need to do is to actually find time and sort our things out.

The next question is “when?” That I still do not know, LOL!

Senseless

If you read the previous post and found it senseless, well, maybe because it came out senseless, LOL! Although I feel better, my head is still heavy and spinning I can’t even organize my thoughts.

 

Makes me think if I’m really supposed to be ‘writing’ at all.

 

Contemplating on leaving the net for a while. Simply tired. Plus it’s that time again when I’m not really sure what I want to do with my life, professionally, that is.

 

We’ll see.

 

For now I am a full-time Mommy, that’s my career! And I’m loving it!

Should be a good day…

Yesterday was not so good (except that I got a high score in Bejeweled, LOL!). I woke up feeling really sick, well I was sick. I got Ane’s virus and I hope I won’t pass it on to Abi. I slept early last night and I had a good rest.

I could tell, coz I woke up feeling so much better. Not yet 100% a-okay, but better. I have a dinner date with my friends later, and I’m glad I’m fit to drive (just thinking about the rush-hour traffic makes me tired already hehe).

Anyway, before I leave later, I need to finish the new image for brother’s website, clean Abi’s bottles, look for a nice shirt to wear, etc.  And I need to rest some more.

I so need a break, and that’s what I’ll do after I publish this :)

Reality bites

I was choosing pictures to be printed and realized that we haven’t had Abi’s pictures from March printed yet. So I browsed the files.

 

Something hit me. I started to get teary eyed. Fine, I was oversensitive when people (who matter!) would comment that Abi was too skinny back then. I would get defensive and say that’s because we’re still waiting for my milk to become sufficient. Yes, I felt guilty back then and also felt so inadequate. Yet I was too stubborn to give in thinking that I am doing what is best for my daughter.

I was crying looking at Abi’s pictures in February and March. My Klaire looked (or really was!) malnourished! The picture on the left is  better than most of the shots, I had to choose this picture so I won’t feel too bad. She was practically skin and bones! Was I a bad mother? Her pictures are telling me that I was a fool and that I wasn’t armed with the best information available.

 

Now I look at my little princess and decide that she’s better off with formula.
