St. James Bazaar 2008

I finally knew the date from this blog. It will be on Novemeber 29,30 and December 1.

I 'm really looking forward for this bazaar because there are lots of unique stuffs that you can find there. It makes me excited. See you there!

First Stuff bought for our Baby

This is our 1st purchase of baby stuffs. A friend bought them for us in US. We don't know when are we going to buy the next items. Maybe, we'll postponed them until after Christmas.

Preggy Diary - Week25

We had our monthly pre-natal check-up last Saturday. We are thankful that everything is doing good. I just gained 3 lbs since my last check-up.My weight is still normal. Baby's heartbeat is at ~140bpm. Size is @ 24cm. I also had my 1st shot of Tetanus Toxoid.

My OB advised us to:
- continue my vitamins
- check my skin color every time. If my skin starts to turn yellow, we need to advise her so she can increase my Iron intake.
- have my 2nd OGTT prior my next check-up.
- have a congenital scan (but not required since I didn't have any major complication during my pregnancy).
- just have my 4D Ultrasound after my next check-up.

So far everything is good. And we're now getting excited. Almost 3 months to go.

More RAK from some Friend in the US

Got this from the Dela Cruz Family. Thanks po!!!!

First Xmas Shopping for 2008

I did my 1st Christmas shopping for this year last Saturday. I bought some shirts for kids.Bought them online and just met up with the seller to see the actual items. I love them all but can't post them because I want it to be a surprise. We just hope that they will also like them.

This is just the start. There will be more.

Another Gift for our Baby

An officemate just got back to work after his 3 months OJT in our San Jose Main Office. He handed me a bag from one of our Filipino friends there and it contains these cute onesies and burp pad. Love them!

Thanks to the Suaverdez Family!

New Slippers for Me

Hubby bought me slippers last Sunday. My old slippers are now not comfy to wear especially now that I have gained some weight brought by mypregnancy.

I like it very much. It's so comfy. Actually, I liked it the 1st time I say it but Rustan's doesn't have my size. They don't even have my size in any of their branches. But thanks to the saleslady. She asked us to check BASS. They are not connected and she doesn't know if they have my size. We're just lucky that they have size. I was choosing between black and brown. But hubby liked the brown better. Another good news it that it was on SALE. We got a 25% discount. Is it not nice?!

101808 RECAP: A Very Long Saturday

It was a very long saturday for us. Hubby got a call from his director at 6am. He started getting calls from different people. And so my sleep was disturbed. We ate breakfast and he continue working. We left home at 10am and went to Cuenca in AAV to buy some pasalubong/padala for his cousins and their betterhalves in Canada as well as gifts to Tito Ben and Tita Ghie. We had lunch in Asian because I was so hungry. We also claimed the result of my breast ultrasound. It was good that the mass didn't grow bigger after 3 months. Thanks GOD!

Then we dropped my mom and Ethan to my parents house in Pasig. We're supposed to go to Megamall to check their 3-day sale and look for some baby things but we decided not to go because of the traffic. We just went to Market Market to buy gifts for my friends son Christening and birthday gift for Ariel's sister and brother in law. We had snacks in Pancake House before going to Domestic Cargo to pick up the Lechon from Cagayan. This is for Ariel and his sister Angel's advance bday celebration. They have the same birthday. The dinner was great. We had lechon, dinuguan, pancit malabon and Pixies' Sinugbang Boneless Bangus.

After dinner, we went to a Magnolia Ice Cream parlor near St. Paul QC for dessert. The presentation of the ice creams were really nice but the money smart in me is saying that it is expensive. Hehehe.Nevertheless, hubby had fun and it was his intention to bring me there because it was my 1st time. Left the place at 10pm but able to got home at 11:45. The traffic in SLEX really made me mad. From 3 lanes, they made it single lane so what will you expect?! I was able to sleep, wake up, sleep again, wake up again and we haven't moved much. We haven't reach the Sucat exit. Grrr. I was so tired and my back is already aching. Huhuhu. When we got home, we just had some talk with my dad who was still watching TV before going to sleep. It was good that I love the new paint of our bathroom. It eases some of my tiredness. I was able to go to bed few minutes past 12mn. Sigh.

Early Baby Shower Gift

We received an early baby shower gift from Tito Ben and Tita Ghie last saturday. They just visited the Philippines for 1month and they'll be returning to Canada on the 25th.

Again, Thanks po and Von Voyage!

PS:
Gifts are coming in and so we can't decide if we need to start buying baby stuffs now or just postponed it until after Christmas. My EDD is still on Feb04'09. What do you think?

Hubby's 31st Bday

Hubby was so busy yesterday that he can't afford to take his birthday leave and to even go home early. We left the office at 7:40pm and went to SM Dasma to buy a cake (Goldilocks) and Crispy Noddles (Flavors of China). We just ate them at home. It was just a simple celebration compared to what he had last year but he's happy and that is more important.

Happy BDAY to my Dear Hubby!

Today is hubby's 31st Bday. We're supposed to go on a date but work calls. He had an urgent issue that needs to attend to.

The pix above was my gift. I had it made by someone I found thru the web. Di nya masyado kamukha pero ok lang. He appreciated it.

I didn't do any scrapbook project for him because I want something different. Some infos about the pix - these are the things he likes. He likes swimming, watching dragon ball and eating steaks and ice creams.

Attended a Wedding

Last saturday, Ariel and I attended his cousins wedding. She was married to Paolo Santos. Unfortunately, we were not able to witness the bridal march - my favorite part of a wedding ceremony. Blame it all to Saturday traffic.The mass was already starting when we arrived in NSDG Church. There were lots of guests. The church was almost full. It was also nice to meet some friends. We're able to talk about lots of stuffs.

The reception was held in Bagaberde in Roxas Boulevard. The place was nice and dressed up for the event. The foods were also good. I really love the pastries section because of their cakes. The drinks were also overflowing. We can drink anything as long as the bar has them. It was just bad that I can't drink any alcoholic drink.I just drink fruit juice and lots of water. Hehehe. The reception program is not the typical type of reception that we had attended. There were bands playing in the background while eating dinner. There were also some raffle wherein the prizes were funny yet practical like coffee, toothpaste, toothpick and fruit cocktail. The major prize was a 2kg of rice. What we like very much about the reception was the studio booth where you can pose for pictures and have the copy in just a few seconds. It was so cool. Hubby and I went to the booth twice. Below are our pix.

We left the reception at 10pm. The jamming was just starting. Sabado Boys just finished their 1st song. I was just so tired and feeling sleepy. I think it was brought by my pregnancy. Too bad for me. I even heard that the party ended at 1pm. We just wished that the newly wed will have a blessed marriage and that they'll live happily ever after.

Preggy Diary - Week23

I was feeling better on my 2nd trimester. But not last week and the week before that. I got colds. I started having a runny nose. My nose was so itchy but I am feeling fine.

We even went to Asian last Oct. 4 for my repeat breast ultrasound. I had my 1st when our little baby is still 6 weeks old. See details here. I still haven't got the result but based from what I saw from the monitor, it grew bigger but still not bigger that 3cm. I still need to show the result to my Surgeon for our peace of mind.

From the hospital, we went to Cuenca in AAV to check their October Bazaar. There's not much to see yet although some are already great buys for the holidays. However, after 30mins of looking into the things inside, I felt really dizzy and needed to go home. At home, I slept and just woke up when hubby brought me some hotcakes for pm snacks. I am still not feeling well then.

Sunday Morning, after attending a 9am mass, hubby got a call from his sister inviting us for lunch in Dampa sa Libis for her husband's Bday Treat. We decided to go but we still needed to go to Nokia - CARE to return my new Phone which I just got from them 2 weeks ago after a month of repair. It was a back job. The issue is still there. Sigh.

We're in Dampa at 12nn. There were lots of food like Shrimp in oyster sauce, sauteed tulya, tempura, calamares, grilled liempo, onion ring, sweet and sour lapu-lapu and steamed lapu-lapu. I saw them enjoying the lunch but I didn't. I got dizzy and had no appetite. Maybe it was because of my colds. I was just able to eat some grilled liempo, tempura, steamed lapu-lapu and tulya. Sayang pero wala talaga akong gana.

From Dampa, we went to their house in Cubao to wait for dinner. We need to go to Hubby's Uncle's House for their fiesta. There were lots of foods also, but still I was not able to eat well. I still don't have the appetite. Last Monday, our breakfast was cheesedog and ham. My tastebuds are still not functioning. I even used ketchup to add some taste to my foods but it is still bland. My colds didn't continue but I had cough and needed to drink a cough syrup recommended by my OB. It was good that it was finally gone and I felt better last Friday. However, I just checked my weight. It didn't change for the last 3 weeks. I don't know yet if this is good or bad. I still need to know next week from my OB. We hope that everything is fine.

Btw, did I mention that we are now felling the little kicks?!

New Brads

I got new gifts from the Tandingan Family. Thanks again. I really
appreciate it!
