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.

JEL's 1st Birthday Party Preps Update: Venue Hunting
We accidentally started planning for JEL's 1st birthday last May. We just saw a party planner booth in SM Molino. We got a copy of their packages last May 23 and that's how it started.
I found their packages expensive. So I searched the web for other suppliers and while surfing the net, I got into the Smart Parenting and Girl's Talk forums. I learned a lot from them that it had been my hobby to checked these forums every night.
By the way, here are the places we've been in search for the right venue for JEL's 1st Birthday:
1. Avignon - It seems the guard didn't understand us. I think we also didn't understand him. We've asked for the clubhouse and he said it was already sold. Now, I realize that he might thought that we are looking for an open house. Nevertheless, we will not go back there, the place will not be accessible for our guest coming from Pasig and QC.
2. Camella in Molino Clubhouse - We didn't take a look at it. By the look inside our car,we don't like it already.
3. AMICI Clubhouse inside Camella - Covered but not air conditioned venue. Too Small for the # of guests we're expecting.
4. Big Red Barn Alabang - The Place is nice and for really for kids but I find their packages expensive. I also don't think that it will be worth for a 1st birthday. Our baby will not be enjoying the play area yet.
5. Congo Grille Alabang - Parties are held on their 2nd floor. It's nice for a Jungle Theme party. They can customize their packages. They also have reasonable prices. However, I am not satisfied with their customer service. I was able to compare it with the comment from GT about Congo Grille El Pueblo.
6. Jollibee in Madrigal Alabang - Large Party Area but hubby doesn't want a short party time (2hrs). They also don't allow outside party host.
7. Dazo Hall in Philam Village Las Pinas - Big Party Area and have a reasonable rental fee. It can accommodate more than 200 PAX. No issue with parking. Friendly to the commuters but our guests are coming from Pasig and QC. This is quite far for them.
8. Storyland in SM Southmall - They have a party area that can accommodate 150PAX but party time is only up to 2hrs only. They have in-house party host and caterers but you can also get food from the FF inside SM.
9. Pixie Forest - We didn't inquire here but we've seen a party before in this venue. We saw another party in this place this morning and we are not comfortable with the place because the party venue is dark, noisy, small and has no privacy.
10. Fridays - They have kiddie birthday packages but we can't afford it. Hehe.
11. Orchard Golf and Country Club - They have in-house caterer and we also can't afford the prices of their menus both the buffet or sit-down. How I wish we can. But the downside is the accessibility to our guests.
12. Madrigal Center - I find the rental fee expensive for a non-A/C venue.
13. Max's near ATC - Hubby doesn't like the place.
14. Starmall - They have accredited caterers but can order from the FF inside starmall. They have reasonable birthday party packages.
a. Castle Area - Small. It can only accommodate max of 100pax.
b. Resort Area - Small and can only accommodate max of 120pax.
c. Function Room with A/C - It can accommodate 150pax but have low ceiling.
d. Function Area (Open sides, covered, no AC) - It has a capacity of 500pax but can rent half of the place only. Pictures of the place is seen here.
We wished to celebrate JEL's birthday in our clubhouse but it's small and can only accommodate 40-50pax. Currently, we are leaning towards the non-A/C function area in Starmall due to it's accessibility to our guests and their not so expensive venue rental fee. We are also not obliged to get their packages. The only downside is that they have accredited caterers and they charge corkage fee for outsourced food carts and party host.

I haven't blog about it yet because I am still overwhelmed with my new responsibilities and duties.Anyway, the couple shirt on the side is my gift to my hubby which I bought from onlinefab. We plan to wear this tomorrow. Hubby will be taking a half day off tomorrow for a us to have a late little celebration although today, he told me that he'll be bringing some foods for our dinner.

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?

RTO, Wedding and BPS
Today, hubby and I had our RTO (Required Time-off). Our Company is requiring all the employees to render 12 days off for this quarter as a cost cutting measure in response to the global crisis. This is somehow beneficial to us because we need to do a lot of errands this coming weeks. But we still hope that we'll be able to recover soon.
By the way, we used the RTO today to attend the wedding of Ariel's Friend (Red and Sari). It was held in Sacred Heart of Jesus Parish while the Reception was in Dad's West Avenue QC. The couple looked really happy for this special day of their life.
From the reception, we went to SM Megamall to have my BPS in In My Womb as required by my OB. I need to have a check-up tomorrow. According to her, labor is already starting because of some bloody and mucous show. This somehow excites me but I am also feeling some fears. Hehehe.
By the way, here is the BPS result:
Score: 8/8 = GOOD
Baby's Weight: Increased from 3239 to 3155 grams = GOOD
Amniotic Fluid: Decreased from 20.8 to 13.44cm = GOOD

Our Baby Book \ Diary
Last Night, we went to NBS to buy a baby book. We also bought some scrapbooking stuffs for the soon-to-be-baby album. Almost everything is complete but the waiting game is testing our patience. Hehehe.

Preggy Diary - Week 38
Yesterday, we went to visit my Endoc to consult about the change in my sugar level. She said that it is just normal and gave us the targets to follow.
Pre-Breakfast = 80 to 94
Post Meal = 85 to 120
She also advised me that if my pre-breakfast will go below 80 then I may need to reduce my insulin intake by 2 units. I also told her about the dizziness I am feeling lately. She said that I may be anemic but after she checked my eyes and said that it looks normal. She just advised me to tell it to my OB.
When we got home, I texted my OB and told her what the Endoc told me. She replied with a sigh. Hehehe. She told me that I'll just follow what she instructed my last Saturday. The target that we will be using is 90 for post meals.
Now, we're kinda confuse. But we still pray that everything is REALLY normal and everything will continue to be Normal until I give Birth.

Preggy Diary - Week 37
We had our weekly pre-natal check-up last Saturday. As per my OB, my last week's BPS is still ok. My IE showed no difference compared to last week. I need to do more walking. She gave me another medicine to help in my dilation. She also checked my blood monitoring result. She said that my recent sugar level is low and may need to decrease my insulin intake from 8units to 6units. She also suggested that I continue to go to work. This will help in my dilation.
We just had our lunch in the hospital while waiting for my BPS. We're 3rd in the list. It was just good that the 1st two patients didn't take long inside the room. However, our little girl was in a deep sleep during the BPS. It took us a long time wake her up. The result of the BPS is not so good. We are expecting my water to decrease but it increased from 12 to 18. I texted my OB and she advised me to lessen my water intake but never to dehydrate myself. Sigh. Hope everything will be fine soon. Actually, hubby and I were thinking about the BPS result. The sonologist used a new machine that day. We don't know if it was already correlated with the old machine. Hmmm. We have to wait and check next week.
From the hospital, we went to Festival Mall to buy some nursing bra and do some walking while waiting for the time to pass by. I have a scheduled pre-natal massage in Rebirth Spa at 5:30pm. After the walk, hubby and I had a little PM snacks in Shakeys. I just ordered the Salad Chix Pizza. It comes with 2 pc of Mojos but I gave them to hubby to reduce my carbohydrate intake. We're done eating at 5pm and arrived in Asian at exactly 5:30pm. Just in time for my massage. It really relaxed me. It's good that I still have 2 more sessions.
Right now, we are worried about my blood sugar level. It is getting lower and lower. We will need to consult my endoc soon.

Another Pasalubong
Some people may think that I am poor but I believe that I am rich because my wealth is the relationship I have with my friends and family.
If you would see, I have blogged a lot about gifts from friends. True friends are hard to find these days and we are happy to know that we have a lot. Below is another evidence that we have lots of friends around.
Thanks to Tita Chu for this Pasalubong! We really love the color. It fits our table and we are now using it!

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 the NPD PE Party. It was fun. Our theme was Animated Musical Play. Our group was assigned to do the Naruto or Madagascar. We chose to do the later. The other groups do 2 animated movies. 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.

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. I need to wear green while hubby need to wear yellow. We arrived in Filinvest Antipolo at 6:30pm. The party was supposed to start at 6pm but unfortunately, the guests are not yet there. 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.

Preggy Diary - Week35
I was not able to provide a preggy update lately because our last few weeks was like a roller coaster ride.
From my last update, I had my 2nd OGTT last Nov.16. But I was only able to get the result on the 13th of December during my OB visit. It was higher compared to my 1st. As per my OB, I needed to consult an endocrinologist. We both felt bad about it. However, we felt excited when we had our 4D ultrasound and saw the features of our baby. She has a very shubby cheeks.Cute!
121808
We went to Heathway in ATC to visit the endorsed Endoc by my OB. She told us that my readings are really high and I need to start monitoring my blood sugar but I need first to undergo a Diabetes Education in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Medical Center asap.
122208
Attended the Diabetes Educ in OLPHMC. Unfortunately, the Dietician was sick and not around. It was only the nurse who conducted the class and just advised me of the recommended diet. We bought a new gadget - a glucose monitor meter. This is expensive. But I am more concerned of the pricking and the sight of blood. Sigh.
122708
Follow-up check up with my Endoc. Accoding to my glucose Monitoring Book, my glucose after meal is within limit but the fasting is not. I needed to inject 4units of insulin everyday 0.5H before dinner. If after 2 days, my reading won't change, I need to change it to 6units. Another bad news. Sigh.
My not so nice new Gadgets.
From ATC, we went to SM Sucat to wait for my OB. She has no clinic in LPDH (The OPD is close until 01/02). While waiting, we shopped for some baby stuffs. It was fun and exciting.
We made our reservation with my OB at 5pm. Her sched starts at 6pm. I was 4th in the list. I should have reserved earlier. My OB was not happy with my glucose issue. She said that I'll be needing to have a weekly ultrasound to check for baby's size and I really need to give birth on my 38th week because the baby might get bigger as a side effect of my GDM. She said that I need to take more care of my diet. I also had my last dose of Tetanus Toxiod.
Now, I already had 4 dose of insulin as advised by my Endoc. The last 3 days was good. It was lower than 100. But this morning, it went up again to 99. I don't know why. My sugar after breakfast was also high (130). Good thing that my after lunch is lower (104).

We hope that my blood sugar level especially the fasting will be corrected as soon as possible so that I won't need to increase the dose of my insulin intake. We are also worried about our little girl.
From my last update, I had my 2nd OGTT last Nov.16. But I was only able to get the result on the 13th of December during my OB visit. It was higher compared to my 1st. As per my OB, I needed to consult an endocrinologist. We both felt bad about it. However, we felt excited when we had our 4D ultrasound and saw the features of our baby. She has a very shubby cheeks.Cute!

We went to Heathway in ATC to visit the endorsed Endoc by my OB. She told us that my readings are really high and I need to start monitoring my blood sugar but I need first to undergo a Diabetes Education in Our Lady of Perpetual Help Medical Center asap.

Attended the Diabetes Educ in OLPHMC. Unfortunately, the Dietician was sick and not around. It was only the nurse who conducted the class and just advised me of the recommended diet. We bought a new gadget - a glucose monitor meter. This is expensive. But I am more concerned of the pricking and the sight of blood. Sigh.

Follow-up check up with my Endoc. Accoding to my glucose Monitoring Book, my glucose after meal is within limit but the fasting is not. I needed to inject 4units of insulin everyday 0.5H before dinner. If after 2 days, my reading won't change, I need to change it to 6units. Another bad news. Sigh.
My not so nice new Gadgets.
From ATC, we went to SM Sucat to wait for my OB. She has no clinic in LPDH (The OPD is close until 01/02). While waiting, we shopped for some baby stuffs. It was fun and exciting.
We made our reservation with my OB at 5pm. Her sched starts at 6pm. I was 4th in the list. I should have reserved earlier. My OB was not happy with my glucose issue. She said that I'll be needing to have a weekly ultrasound to check for baby's size and I really need to give birth on my 38th week because the baby might get bigger as a side effect of my GDM.

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!

RECAP: 112808 - Our 1st Xmas Themed Throw Pillowcases and Curtains
Last November 28, I had my monthly pre-natal check-up. My OB had an Emergency and advised us that she will be late for our appointment in Prima Medica SM Sucat.
While waiting for her, I went to home section of SM Sucat and saw that their curtains are on sale. I bought these curtains and throw pillowcases. These are the 1st xmas themed items we bought for our home.
They are simple yet I love them!
Pasalubong from my Friend Tere

Happy New Year to All!
