Hubby's 32nd Birthday

JEL's 1st Birthday Party Preps Update: Party Time Caterer Food Tasting - 2nd Round
I got surprised last Friday night to receive a text from Mel asking if I want to have another round of food tasting. We agreed since we're really going to Festival Mall that Saturday to do our grocery shopping. We picked up the foods at around 3pm and ate them at home. Below are the comments that I texted Mel.
Fish Fillet in Lemon Butter
US: Good but better if with sauce since it's dry.
MEL: It really has a sauce (Tartar or Black Bean) but for sample foods for pick-up they don't give it because it can be spoiled. She just want us to know what kind of fish they are using for their fish menus.
Backed Mac
US: Good also. Tasted like the Baked Spag. We still preferred the Baked spaghetti since long noddles symbolized long life.
MEL: Noted.
Beef Pot Roast in Mushroom Sauce
US: I like the sausage. LOL. Hubby said that it's better than the roast porkloin but it is super greasy. I agree with him. That would be bad for our health. But if they can choose a better beef part (less fat), we like it better than the roast porkloin.
MEL: Noted!
Sweet and Sour Pork
US: We're not able to receive it but instead got another packed sample of roast beef. Hehehe.
MEL: Noted.
Customer Service
US: Superb
MEL: None yet. I haven't tell her that we really appreciate her great Customer Service. We haven't booked anything yet and still we are getting this such good CS. Thanks!
Anyway, we advised Mel that we would still want to get the original menu that we planned. And she took note of that.

073009 - JEL's 6th Month Bday & Monthly Pedia Check-up
JEL's 6th Month Birthday was last Thursday so we needed to go to the office. However, we decided to take a half day off also for her Pedia Check-up. It was supposed to be on 080109 but our schedule is tight on that day. We picked up her cake from Recipes & Magic before picking her up from home.
Her check-up went well except for the one small lymph node that her pedia was able to feel near her jaw. She just advised us to monitor if it will grow bigger or increased.
She grew 2cm longer and still taller from the average (69cm). However, her weight is lower than average.
She only gained 0.2kg since last month. She was previously at 6kg. Our pedia told us to limit her solid intake from 4 to twice a day so that her milk intake will increase. She is only taking 3-4 feedings of 6oz milk a day.
Her vitamins will also increase from 0.5ml to 1ml. Another vitamins was also given to her to boost her appetite. We hope that it will work for her. According to her pedia, she is not skinny but she is also not fat. All here food and milk intakes are being converted to energy because she is so active.
Anyway, she also got her Hepa Vaccine that day. She only cried for a while then started playing again. She will have her vaccine for measles next month.
Before going home, we bought some foods from North Park for her birthday celebration. We had Toast Noodles, Beancurd Mushroom, Sweet and Sour Pork, Aniseed Beef Tendon, Kingdao Spareribs and Salted Fish & Chicken Fried Rice. We had a simple celebration at home. See more pictures here.
Btw, we thank the Lord for all His Blessings, our JEL's 6th Month, her everyday safety and good health!

Last Weekend (July 24 to Present)
I was not supposed to have a backlog in this blog but I'm having headach for some days already and also my PC had a virus that needed to be cleaned up.
Anyway, last Friday, we suddenly decided to go to Festival Mall for us to just have a whole day rest on Saturday. We returned our printer to the repair center after seeing the same problem it had before. It was a back job. Hubby also upgraded the memory of his laptop to be more efficient on his work. We had dinner in Sai-Bachi. It was a good dinner. Hubby had their eat-all-you-can tempura, while I had their noodles and tokuyaki balls. We also went to Robinsons to look for a Baby Walking Belt but it was out of stocks. We ended up just buying shoes and additional milk container for JEL.
Saturday
We all stayed at home. Hubby tried to repair my PC but was not satisfied. He was able to install the virus scanner but the virus definition can't be updated. In the evening, he was not felling well. Was the virus from my PC got into him? Hehe.
Sunday
After our Sunday Mass, we went to ATC. We bought EPass Load, picked up our TPC pictorial prints and my LYB membership card. I also bought some cosmetics from Body Shop. I availed their Members' Birthday Privilege (20% discount on your Birth Month).
We then went to Megamall to Celebrate Ariel M.'s Birthday. Jel was able to play with Clark. See pictures here.It was awesome to see them again.
We also went to SM department store looking for the Baby Walking Belt but it was also out of stock. We just ended up buying new shoes again for JEL. No Worries. It's not expensive. We just bought it for P99.
On our way to my parents house, it was raining hard. Our windshield wiper broke. The car repair shop we went to was not able find the right size of bushing from the nearby car accessories shops. It was expected since it is a Sunday and already 3pm. We are just thankful that Manong was kind enough to do some Mac Gyver stuff. He just used an epoxy to make one wiper working. Ariel drove our car with this set-up.
In my parents house, we just had PM snacks while my family is playing with Jel. We left my parents house at 6pm.
We're still supposed to go to Antipolo for the welcome party of Ariel's cousin Jason and Her Ate's Despedida party but we opted to just go home for safety purposes. We are still from the South and it was raining hard. We are all tired when we got home.
Monday
We got excited to know that Ma'am Joji is already back after attending a quarterly review in our CA office. She was able to bring the plush toys I ordered from Ebay which was shipped to Kuya Rowen's Home. JEL was surprised seeing them. See her pictures here.
Tuesday was an ordinary day but we're thankful that Ariel felt better and JEL's colds was contained. My PC virus clean-up was also getting better after system restoration.
Yesterday, hubby and I had a lunch out to buy some balloons for JEL's 6th month Birthday today. I pumped six balloons. Pictures will be posted soon.
Today, it's already 12:47am. I'm still awake and trying to update this blog. Hehehe. Later, we will be taking a half day off for JEL's monthly Pedia check-up. We will also be picking up her cake from Recipes and Magic. Hope it would be nice and tasty!
Well, that's it. I need to sleep now. Hope I can post JEL's 6th Moth birthday pictures tonight.

Got A Free Lunch Yesterday
We had free lunch yesterday using our BPI charge slips from Chowking. We had fish lauriat, pork lauriat, halo-halo with 1 scoop of ice cream and 3 siomai (3pcs each). We're not able to eat all of them and just took some of them out for our PM snacks.
Anyway, this is just one of the advantages of owning a credit card. We should enjoy the perks we're getting but we need to ensure that we're paying our bills on time to avoid paying finance charges.

Extended Birthday
I had a 2-day birthday celebration. The actual day of my birth was celebrated with my family (I blogged about it here). The next day was celebrated with my in-laws and their kids. We really had a very busy weekend.
By the way, here are the activties we did last Sunday:
- 8:30 am mass in St. Jerome Parish. It ended early so we strolled inside Makati Supermarket while waiting for ATC to open.
- 10am TPC pictorial. We all had a good time posing for pictures and having JEL smile. More pictures here.
- We bought Yo Gabba Gabba Books for JEL in Powerbooks.
- Lunch in Magdaragat with my in-laws.
- At home, Jel played with her cousins while Ariel is helping my in-laws with their laptop problems. We had dinner together. They left at almost 9pm. I'm already tired but I still fixed some things inside our room and prepare the things needed for work the next day.
Btw, I got this gift from my in-laws. Thanks!
Also, I forgot to blog about a call I receive on my actual birthday from Fr. Ginu, our Parish Priest, who is having a vacation in India. Thanks po for remembering!
Overall, we had a tiring yet fun-filled weekend!

Chocolatey Birthday
I just turned 33 today and I want to thank the Lord for all the blessings I got for 33 years. There were ups and downs but I was able to make it with His guidance.
I had a simple birthday celebration. A week ago, we ordered chocolate cake and cup cake with topper from Cakefarm. They are one of the famous bakeshop in cavite that we are eyeing for JEL's birthday. I was not able to take a pix of the cupcakes because we are all busy during lunch. Anyway, here is the pix of the cake
We picked this cake from Bacoor Cavite before going to NBC tent. There is an ongoing bazaar there and I asked hubby to buy some matching clothes for the three of us from KATRICEwear who will be having a booth there as a birthday gift. Below is the matching poloshirts that we bought.
We were also able to buy short, blouse and dress for Jel from other participating sellers. I love them all. Actually, we already washed them all and planned to wear them tomorrow. Hehe.
We had lunch in my parents house. My dad cooked some foods for me some. We had buttered shrimp, pork kaldreta and lechon kawali. And just bought pancit from our neighbor. We all had a very yummy lunch that I forgot to take pictures of the food.
The funny part is that all my siblings gave me chocolate goodies.Ditse gave me a Banaple. Gemme gave me an Iko's Choco moist cake and a Cadbury Chocolate bar. Jen and Anna gave me Chocolate brownies.
I've tried all of them. They are all yummy. I just told myself to forget first all the calorie counting for this day? Is that a valid excuse?
Another gift I received today is the homed cooked menudo by my Aunt (Mama Linda). I really love her menudo especially its sauce. Thank you po!
Oh, did I mention that the greatest gift I have for my birthday is our little girl??!!
We had a very tiring yet happy day. Another year was added to my age but it's all worth it! Thanks to all who greeted me by email and text and also those who remembered my special day in their own special way!
I love you all!!!

Happy Hearts Day !!!
Happy Hearts Day!!!
Hubby and I didn't have any romantic date today. Actually, we don't celebrate Valentines day on the day itself. However, Hubby bought these flowers for me.
We also had some foods delivered at home for pm snacks and we got this balloon as a freebie.
We had a simple celebration but we had fun. Hubby even cooked dinner for me.
Isn't it sweet?

Preggy Diary - Week 35 and Week 36
Week 35 - Jan. 03
Returned to my endoc. She read my blood monitoring diary and said that everything looks good. She just need a new blood test from me - TSH and HBA1C. I have them done in Healthway ATC where she holds clinic. We just had lunch and then went to LPDH to have my weekly ultrasound (BPS - Biophysical Profile Scanning). The doctor arrived late and I was 3rd on the list. Baby didn't cooperated at first. She was sleeping. I needed to get up of the bed and eat a little to make her move.After I have eaten a hotdog from the hospital's canteen and got back to the ultrasound table, the doctor already saw an acceptable movement from our little girl. From Las Pinas, we drove back to Alabang to have my 2nd session of pre-natal massage in Rebirth Spa in Asian Hospital. It was so relaxing since I've been having a lot of backaches recently.
Week 36 - Jan. 10
9:45 am in LPDH for my pre-natal check-up. As per my OB, the BPS result is normal and good. She noticed that I lose some weight because of my GDM. I almost can't eat anything. She also did an IE on me. It kinda hurt. She said that I am 1cm dilated however my cervix/uterus is still thick. I may give birth in 2 to 3 weeks. She also told me that there is a big chance that I can give a normal birth. She also gave some instructions to us for the preparation of my birth giving then she again gave me a request for my next ultrasound. She also prescribed a lactation medicine - Natalac which I need to take once a day.
12nn in Healthway ATC for my endoc check-up. All my blood test results are normal. However, my blood sugar level before breakfast for the last 2 days are above 94. She told me to increase the dose of my insulin by 2units if it will not go below 95 tomorrow. I need to see her again next week.
Hubby and I just had our lunch inside the car.because we need to be back to LPDH at 1pm for my BPS. Unfortunately, the doctor arrived at 2pm. The only good thing is that I am the 1st in the list. According to the doctor, everything is normal including the cord. Our little baby didn't cooperate again during the movement monitoring but she started to move when hubby played some music thru our cellphone. Thanks God.
After our check-up, we went to SM Southmall to buy some more baby stuffs, home stuffs and did some grocery shopping. So far, here are the additional items we bought for our little girl.

PS:
I feel in love with the socks. They are cute, right?WELCOME 2009
We had welcome 2009 with a blast and a little drama. Hehehe. We didn't had any fireworks. We just listened and watched our neighbor's fireworks. Actually, we really don't spend money on fireworks. This is for our safety and our way of being money smart. Anyway, below are some of the foods we had prepared for our Media Noche.
We love all the yummy foods.
We also played some games after eating like darts, picture frame and bingo.
We enjoyed the night. We also hope that 2009 will be prosperous for all of us!

RECAP: HOLIDAY 2008
We started to get busy for Christmas by the end of September. Our little Christmas tree was already standing by that time. However, we started shopping for gifts end of November. This was because of the recession that was happening in the US. And since we are an American company, there are cost cutting measures that our company made. There was a reduction in force. We lost 2 engineers from our department. Ariel's department lost 7. We just hope and pray that they were still able to celebrate the true meaning of Christmas.
Anyway, below are some of our gimiks.

It was a stressful preparation because some of the members doesn't want to cooperate. I was just supposed to be the director by I ended up also performing and dancing. Anyway, all our efforts paid off. We are only after the last prize (4th place) but we ended up winning the 2nd place. It was really a good feeling aside from the fact that we also won a cash prize of 7K instead of 2K.

We slept at 2am. We all woke up at 8am. We 1st visited my dad's relatives in Antipolo - my grandma and Tita Aida's Family. Then my Mom's relative (Auntie Fe in Taytay and Mama Linda in Pasig). Then we dropped my family in my parents house. We just left our gifts for my inaanaks and other cousins.
Hubby and I then went to SM Hypermart in Pasig to buy Shirts for the Jorge-lypics (His family's yearly xmas reunion) because we both don't have the required colored shirt.

The party started at 8pm instead. The worst part was when it started to rain. The party was outdoor and we only have 2 big tents. We only have a limited space but it still looks like that everybody had fun. After the program and the gift giving, we left the place at passed 1am. We still fetched my dad from their home in Pasig because he will be doing some carpentry in our house. He'll be doing us a double deck bed.

We still fetched my dad from their home in Pasig because he will be doing some carpentry in our house. He'll be doing us a double deck bed.

RECAP: 122008 7th BF/GF Anni & Gimik with Friends from Australia
Last December 20 was our 7th anniversary as BF/GF but instead of having a date, we celebrated it with Ariel's College Buddies.
We started the day in Rockwell Tent, we just bought some stuffs for friends and for Christmas gifts. We had lunch in Jollibee. Then moved to Glorietta 1 to pick up some items from Matus. Our date with Ariel's friends was late in the afternoon. While waiting for them, we windowed shop and took some rest in Food Choices. Hubby had his Banana Split while I had my sugar free Cheesecake.
His friends started to arrive at 3pm. Ariel and his wife came 1st, then Peter and Marose. We waited for Wilson and Hannah ( who visited the Philippines after migrating to Australia last June'07) in Greenbelt 3. We had our pm snacks in Cafe Breton. It was a very good bonding moment.
After some time, we went back to Glorietta1 to have dinner in Dencio's. Everybody had a good time.
It was a very nice day. Looking forward to our next meeting!

Flowers and Chocolates
That time, the counter is still serving #101. I just asked him to buy the Palmer's lotion from Personal Care. To my surprise again, when he got back, he was bringing me my favorite chocolate. I was so happy. It removed all my irritations with all the waiting time I am having in NOKIA.
I really love my husband for being sweet. Btw, he gave me all of this in celebration of our BF/GF and Wedding monthsary which falls on 20 and 19 respectively.

The Dinner Date
Hubby knew how bored I am at home. He planned for a dinner date and we had it last night in Josephine's Tagaytay. It was a good dinner. We were so full and satisfied with the foods that we ate.
We're not hungry huh?! Actually, we're still supposed to have some hot choco in Starbucks but I told hubby that I already had too much sugar for the day! Josephine's Berry Macapuno was really irresitable. I've been watching my sugar but can't help it. Nevertheless, I am half guilty because I shared the leche plan of my dessert with Hubby. Hehehe.

Early July Gifts
Today I got 2 gifts. The 1st gift came from my previous group. I moved to a new product line due to insisted public demand. Hehehe. Joke lang po. Actually, it was my choice because I think there is a good career opportunity in my new group. I started working in my group since Q1 while still working with the old group. This 3rd quarter, I had moved 100% to my new group and my old group gave me this frame. Appreciate it. I'm touched. Hehehe.
The 2nd gift was a cake from our company, all birthday celebrants will be given a mini cake on the month of their birthday. This is a new tradition that they started last month. I was lucky to have one today. It looks yummy. You want some?

I thought he likes Chocolates with Peanut Butter
We've been married for 3 years but it is only this evening that I knew - he doesn't like it. I assumed because he once told me that he likes Butterfinger Chocolates. And since this chocolate bar is a combination of rich milk chocolate and crunchy peanut butter, I thought that he likes every chocolate with peanut butter. But I was wrong.We've laughing really hard inside the car. He told me that it is because I kept on assuming. All those time, he was wondering why I kept on giving him peanut butter flavored chocolate. Wow MALI! Hehehe.
