POUR OUT YER MIND

updates

2005-11-17T01:47:00.000-08:00

hi to anyone reading my blog! sorry haven't updated in a looonggg while....i guess some of you know by now how much motherhood and family life can take so much of our time, especially if we do work as well.. but then that's life... for me, family always come first!

so whats new???

well, we've got exactly 16 days 'til take off!! yipee! my hubby and i are very excited to go home, yup, home the Philippines!! 3rd Dec 2005 is the date..although financially we are a bit on the skint side, but we are excited to see family and friends..and of course for them to see our little one..my hubby always tell me if i start to worry about money that, what's important is we get home and be with the people who loves us especially on the holiday season :) and that's true, i guess i just worry too much eh?? hehe ooooohhhh i can't wait to taste the pinoy food i so dearly miss, inihaw na pusit, kinilaw na tuna, lobster, lechon!! yum yum..also the ever delicious pinoy kakanin, like kutchinta, luglug, biko atbp. hehehe i guess i'm gonna add more pound to what i already have :) hehe.. i can't wait to experience the misa de gallo again, i think the last time i attended was before i set foot here in england in 2001, so that's like 5yrs already!! i vow to attend all 9 days though, I've got lots of things to thank God for and ask him for help too..never mind the wake up call every 3am, that's the fun bit of it all isn't it???

back here in London, it's minus 2 degrees last night, as i look out the window, all the green grass has been covered with frost, duh!! i dread winter, I'm never really good in coping with very cold weather eventhough I've been here for 5 yrs now...but the fun part is, all the shops start to decorate Christmas things, so it's very nice to look at..last monday, Westlife officially lit up the christmas tree and lights in oxford street, which was very bright and nice indeed!!

but it tell you, nothing still compares to christmas pinoy style :)
so to all my friends out there in pinas..see you all soon!!
and a Merry Christmas to us all!! may love and peace reign!!
until my next blog..

where's my passion gone?

2005-10-01T13:16:00.000-08:00

Have you ever encountered in your life that you're not happy with what you're doing? and you come to think, have i been wasting my time for this for nothing? should i make a grand escape or just change career?..... i have these same feelings right now, and it bothers me alot, for i do not know what to do, all i have is prayers, that God, will one of these days make me see the light... i have so many questions in my life right now that needs answers..
for one, i am not happy with my work now, not that i don't like where i'm working or my colleagues, cause they're great, but i just seem to have lost the passion for nursing?? could this be right? the course i had a fight with my dad cause he wants me to become a doctor and not a nurse but want to be one anyway cause i know that it would be my key to leaving the country and travel abroad??aside from helping humanity?? i wonder where's that passion gone.. or could this be just a phase?..it must be motherhood, i am so deeply overwhelmed with my new role that all i want to do is focus on it..taking care of my son and my husband.. boring?? am i really a housewife material?? might be, but all i know is, it's what i wanted for now..it's making it happen is the difficult part for i have to sacrifice some things.. like cutting my own earnings and purely depending on my hubby's.. would this happen? will God allow it for me? or has he got a much better plan?? i have no answers.. yet i know one day, i will find one.. i'll just have to wait and see..

Finally!

2005-10-01T13:07:00.000-08:00

Finally!! it's done and over with..Our best wishes goes to the newly weds
Mr. Jerome Sy & Ms. Kristine Derla now known as Mr. & Mrs. Jerome Sy
hey guys you are so over exposed!! haha (my turn!)

2 Days and counting...

2005-09-25T09:40:00.000-08:00

Time is near for this two wonderful couple to walk down the aisle, I offer them my prayers for a happily married life, and wish them all the luck the world could have!! we love them both :-)

what's new?

2005-09-25T09:22:00.000-08:00

so? what's new with me?

well nothing much i guess.. the biggest mountain i have to climb recently is going back to work, and being a mom at the same time..it's very hard i tell you, that's why i salute all working mothers out there, who even in the hardships and stress of dividing quality time with family and giving out quality of care to work, has still manage to keep their esteems intact, and produce a well brought up children..i for one, is praying that me and my hubby will pass this test in life with flying colours.. of course with the help of prayers.

this problem i mentioned HERE, has been half answered and others somewhat hanging, but i know that in time, all will be revealed in due time..

christmas is in the air!! and literally yes it is!! temperatures here in London is starting to drop to a single digit, duh!! winter time again, whew! where did summertime go? the other day i went to buy some christeneing cards for my son, and saw on the shelf..Christmas cards!! o well..time does fly!! and it could also mean one thing, time is near for our grand vacation home to our beloved banana republic ;-)

until my next blog!

reminiscing

2005-09-01T05:53:00.000-08:00

i was cleaning our room today and came across some photos of friends from the past..then memories came flooding in, funny how time does flies!!

i had fun reminiscing my brothas lovelife though which is within our group of friends, hehe for the record..he likes THIS one since grade school, wooed her after college but somehow things never worked out between them..because, he suddenly thought he liked THIS one better..yet never had the courage to tell her, talk about cowardly actions..or shall i say she was too expensive for his reach :)

so in the long run, and after all the heartaches he caused or them leaving him heartbroken, he now is about to walk the isle, with i think is the best girl for him..to live happily ever after!

way to go brotha!!

everything else in between

2005-08-27T13:27:00.000-08:00

had a rough week..feeling down, and then up..rollercoaster ride life for me..

Updates. I am still very enthralled by the tv series Lost, i'm catching up with charmed, 6 feet under and the X factor return-at least the latter makes me laugh once in a while..it's very annoying at times these people think they've got talents, yeah they can sing!-in their own bathroom!!

Surfing. not the waves but the net, and i really like alyssa milano's website and design, really cool, and she's a philantropist huh! nice one girl. check it out sometime. www.alyssa.com

Rain. and more rain for London in the coming weeks, hay!!! i think London should be renamed greenland or iceland for it's cold and dreary weather.( i think even iceland or the latter has some sunshine!)

Music.listened to a couple of cd's last night with a glass of red wine in my hand.. I love Maroon 5-i'd listen to it over & over & over...i think all the songs deserves an award, very nicely done, really cool too....and coldplay's the x&y album, nice!
nina live! the best, makes you wanna tuck under your duvets all night!

Friendster! seen a couple of my old classmates from college today, gosh! really nice seeing them..and people from my past too..old friends, was a friend now not..acquaintances..

sleep. i need this now..so ciao for now :)

which is which??

2005-08-26T13:51:00.000-08:00

i need suggestions. which is nicer. this or this. i know enzo's still too young to play this, but i just want to save now to buy him these later :) for now he'll just have to settle for this..and this too.

tough times

2005-08-24T07:12:00.000-08:00

I am currently experiencing a very tough time..there has been certain issues in my life right now that needs sorting out..sometimes when i start to think of all these i just start to cry..life has been hard lately, and my prayers seem to be going nowhere, i guess God has taken a vacation..I have been praying hard for a wish i really wanted for my family for a long while now, but no answers yet..i asked for a sign, but nothing came..do you think it's right to ask for a sign? do i have the right to question Gods work on my life?? according to the book "The purpose driven life" never question God's plan for all will be revealed in due time, and he knows what's best for us..that God's purpose is greater than our sins, our pains..our problems, that when God says no to your cry for relief, believe that God is doing what's best for us..i might just be a man with little faith..for sometimes, i doubt, and i fear and question him..but i'm allowed to do that right? after all i am only human at the end of the day..because right now, i am feeling angry, forsaken, i might just be too impatient for those answers to come, i now doubt..or should i be?? God seems very distant..according to the book, it is at this time that God will test if you will still worship him when all you've got is hardship..and i do, yes worship him..or do i really?..my mind is clouding, i cannot think right..

one of a kind television series..a must see!!

2005-08-22T05:56:00.000-08:00

http://abc.go.com/primetime/lost/

You just have to see this!! and get lost too..

how long has it been...?????

2005-08-21T04:41:00.000-08:00

gosh! how long has it been since the last time i visited this site?? ...too long i guess..but nonetheless, nothing much interesting to say anyway,i was just busy being a mom..so i rest my case..my life has been kindda like a wheel at the moment, one week it's up, the other down..it's such a roller coaster in here!!

My son's 4months old this week!! and he talks alot!!(undescribable goos and aahs really :) it would be nice if he does say some words though,hehe) gosh! i really don't know were he gets these traits from, my husband and i are both shy-ish kind of persons..well, it's good to know,someone can speak for themselves in the family!

Work! gosh i dread that word..i'm going back soon after an almost 8 months of maternity leave..i wonder if i'd still cope!! i hope i do..because inate in me is the passion to help humanity, char!! i guess nursing is just in the blood for me :)

LOST..you have to see this new TV series from ABC (in the US & C4,E4 here in london) it's a mindboggling, twighlight zone-ish, detective-ish and survivor-ish type of show, really coool!! 105%!! the story started out after an Oceanic flight 815 crashed into an unknown island, bringing only 47 survivors-which each has a past to hide and issues to face, plus the island has many suprises!! and i just love those flashbacks!! isn't it nice to see a tv show that keeps your adrenaline running??!! mine does, at the sight of jack..hehe :) really these is the tv series worth getting lost with..and with 12 emmy nomination to it's belt!!

weddings!! my bestfriend is soon to tie the knot, we're just sad we won't be with him on that special occasion of his life, if there is only another way...but, we wish him well, i know he's busy with all the preps now..bro, just hang in there, you'll miss this too when it's done :)

Sport..funny this one..one of my friends had a fight with her husband just because he won't go to church to watch F1!! his wife left the house to let off her steam of him and he ended up not eating lunch because his wife never returned until nightfall..hehe funny what sport can do to someone's married life :)

christmas in august..yes it's official, Harrods-the biggest and expensive-est shop in London which is housed in Knightsbridge, has lit up there christmas tree to open up a part of the shop which now sells christmas decor..now what do you think of that??!! enough to get shiver in my spine just thinking of those cold dreary winter nights and day again!! huhu

well..i guess this justifies my long absence huh?! see u again next time!!

brat or not??

2005-07-24T13:25:00.000-08:00

I guess his shirt says it all...but i hope not, that is one fear we parents have for our kids these days..i just wish that my hubby and i will be able to bring him up to be kind-hearted, humble, loves animals and bikes like his dad, respect his elders and best of all God-fearing..but hey, seriousness aside, aint he so damn cute??? :)

bestfriends' visit

2005-07-21T06:06:00.000-08:00

i'm so glad that my friend mai came to visit us this week, it has been a while since the last time i've seen her, we have alot of catching up to do..girly talks of all sorts..and she adores enzo as much as i do..guess because we never really treated each other as just friends, we are sisters in all kinds of way..in or out, whatever angle you choose to see us..welcome back friend!!

one year old

2005-06-08T01:13:00.000-08:00

one year old today..no not my son, he's just five weeks old and God he's growing fast!! me and my hubby are a year old today..it's our 1st year wedding anniversary!! funny how time flies, last year at this very day we exchanged our vows..to be faithful and to love one another thru thick and thin..we have always been faithful, well, i know i am :) and yes we've been thru alot of trials with just this first year gone. married life is not a game at all, as my brother in law used to say, "married life is not a bed of roses, but love is" and yes that's true, if you love the person truly, madly and deeply you are willing to accept him/her no matter what you will find out after the i do's has been said, well i guess you should be willing to, cause you would have never married him/her in the first place!! i found out alot about my husband which i have never known before, funny cause i thought i knew him too well since we were good friends since 4th grade!! :) but nonetheless all is a good finding,hehe well, except for some which is too gory to mention here, and i'm sure he won't approve of me making him famous especially thru the internet :).. i'm sure he has good and bad finding about me as well, like being too baby-ish when i'm sick, or being mataray when i have PMS, and always asks him to do my pedicure hehe, which he is so good at! but then love always conquers all, beacause, amidst all these characters we find in each other, we continue to go on..being faithful,being strong for one another,being kind and thoughtful to one another..they say the 1st year are just the honeymoon stage over, well maybe..but for us it wasn't just all honeymoon baby, because we live so far from our parents and friends that we have to struggle... living, earning, being there for one another when all else fails, even if both of us are feeling down, each has to suppress a smile, cause if not, i think we'll crumble, all we have here in this foreign land is each other...yet so far so good, we have survived, for the 1st year at least..but, for me, it's a triumph being here with him today, celebrating our 1st year wedding anniversary, beacause i know, that whatever trials and sorrows we still have to face thru in the coming years together, we will make it and surpass it, good or bad..as long as we three are healthy.. because we have each other..and our son..and i think that's all that matters :)

down the drain..

2005-05-26T07:34:00.000-08:00

heler!! it's been a long while since the last time i visited this blog site of mine, hmmm..call me lazy? or busy?? whatever!! but you see motherhood takes up so much of me :0 .. FYI finally, the baby did pop out, a week too late..3rd May 2005, 14:28hrs our angel first saw light :) and from then on, life was never the same again..i did imagine this day would come but the intesity of it, i just couldn't bear for the moment, it's like..help!! i'm a human get me outta here!! sleepless nights, letdown reflexes, milk issues, not to mention you get sooo tired from doing 12hrs of baby sitting!! whew! and they say baby blues will pass away in the first week, yeah right!! and i thought all this hormonal rock-n-roll fades away post pregnancy. yes, i find myself very tearsome and depressed at this stage, embracing motherhood is not at all easy, not to mention all the other issues that come with it :( including hormones!!! somehow i find myself not too attached to the baby and other days i just couldn't live without him..insanity??not!! i went thru alot from the day i knew i am pregnant to this very day, the emotional rock and roll is just too amazing to cope at times and knowing your family is too far away to help or to ask for help, but i think things will pass and i will see light at the end of the tunnel..i guess, and then there's my husband who despite sharing the same emotions as me, is putting up a brave face and hauling up alot of patience, and i am very proud and thankful for having him, because i think without his braveheart characteristics, i would just crumble :( and put all my hardwork down the drain.. of course there are friends who lighten up my day by emails,blogs, texts, phonecalls.... and i'm ever greatful.at this point,all i have with me is a few slices of courage or whatever there is left and prayers.. alot of it..i need to gain back my strength, and some self esteem, i don't think i would be able to go on if these continues to fade away with me..but then again,there's always gold at the end of a rainbow, or so i thought..so we'll wait and see..

waiting game

2005-04-27T07:40:00.000-08:00

this babys' suppose to pop out last monday, 25th of april, but i guess he loves his womb environment too much that he's just taking his time..as my midwife says, this is a chill out baby,keeping his cool..well, unless he just doesn't go over 42 weeks inside my tummy then that should be alright..it's basically a waiting game now..speaking of game, i wish chelsea FC goodluck with their game tonight with the legendary liverpool FC, and to their coach Jose Morino-keep your cool coach!! :) also we wish Kimi "the ice man" Raikonnen luck for the barcelona grand prix, we know u had a tough time last sunday, being the fastest in the two qualifying and getting the pole position yet ended up with a problem with his engine after a few laps,whew! which he was booted out of the race, but keep ur cool Kim's,after all ur the ice man! :) until my next blog!!

poxy lady

2005-04-13T04:34:00.000-08:00

from one bad news to the other..i now have chickenpox :( very right timing indeed!! on my 38th week of pregnancy,tsk tsk..just as the saying goes, when it rains,it pours! it is quite worrying especially as i still have this precious little one inside me, although with the many medical breakthroughs nowadays, still i can't help thinking negative thoughts that could possible happen to my precious one :(..i guess all i have to do now is pray..and listen to the docs..

goodbye Lola...

2005-04-08T07:43:00.000-08:00

It's a very sad day indeed for me and for the rest of my Suelto clan, we have lost another remarkable family member who has brought us so many joys and advices...My beloved Lola celia, who has now joined her creator in heaven yesterday afternoon 7th April 2005 at 5pm. She was 85 yrs. old. she has always been a strong woman to me, very hard working, organised, always sticking to the rule which sometimes made her stubborn to other people, she is the woman who loves her farm, she would do anything just to get her hands dirty no matter what her conditon maybe or the weather would be like,she would go up that hill or plains just to be with her animals and plants,but mind you, by doing this, she has succesfully allowed all her 7 children to get a degree, and i'm sure all of them are thanking her now for leading them to live a contented life. we shall surely miss her, i for one, as she has been the closest to me of all my grannies, i was her her spoiled apo, the very first one, i remember our travels together when i was still a kid, she brings me to places fascinating and teaching me the ways of life, i guess half of what i am now is because of her, her last advice she gave me was the day i got married in Jan. 2004 which made alot of people laugh because she has made it a funny sense yet keeping in mind that it's an advice to married life she is giving..now she has joined our God in heaven, and we shall terribly miss her, especially me and my hubby as we won't be able to see her for the last time and bid her farewell as i am due to delivery soon, also sad knowing she won't be able to see her great grandson when he arrives..but i know wherever she is now, she is happy and pain free,looking over all of us and feels the contenment and achievement she has done to make this family a great one, her own handy work..with this Blog i pay tribute to a wonderful woman, a woman of courage,carisma, sense of responsibility and always put a smile on someone else's face..Lola we will always love you,and you will be terribly missed..goodbye :(

rest in peace...

2005-04-03T04:17:00.000-08:00

and so the Lord has called upon his humble shepherd to share his unending kingdom in heaven. I'm sure most of you, like me, a devote catholic is mourning the death of our beloved santo papa, Juan Pablo II, he might be a controversial leader to others but to some and i'm sure to many he served his purpose right, he will always be lovingly remembered and carved in the hearts of the people he helped and whom he has touched lives..this blog has come to say, may he continue to pray for us here on earth now that he is close with the father in heaven.a tribute to our dear Pope..loved and cherished by many..may he rest in peace and happiness.

reflect...now is the time

2005-03-22T03:17:00.000-08:00

lent week is here, some people might find this time really nice as they could spend time off with family, friends, loveone's, going to nice places and enjoying the holiday off work..maybe making sand castles in a white sandy beach, climbing the highest peaks, or travelling to another country where lent is not even heard of..that's really alright and perfect, everyone deserves happiness, and relaxation, but let us not forget that amidst all this that we do, this ONE week, is the only week we can get to reflect how we are doing with our life and our relationship with God (that is if u believe in one) are we making progress?? are we deteriorating? do we just remember him in times of troubles? when money is out, when someone's dead or sick or dying??? when we are in the middle of all this holiday frenzy, do we remember how he suffered carrying his cross to save our sins?? and be crucified for our sakes???.. at least, for once, even in a single day this week, try to reflect that, even good to ask for forgiveness, and pray. God never reprimanded us to give our whole lifetime or lifestyle to devote to him, but can we just at least do it in one day in a week?and i think lenten season is the best days to do this, because you have all the days of the year to do the rest..one day won't hurt you..now is the time.

a day in class

2005-03-10T13:29:00.000-08:00

i had my 2nd session of antenatal class today, and oh boy! that was quite exhausting to the eyes, and ears!! first we saw a video of a woman giving birth, both traditionally which is in bed, and the other in a birthing pool, although those women featured are already having those babies as their 2nd or 3rd, still, you can see the pain that they're going thru not to mention the scream!! and now i start to wonder, AGAIN for the nth time how will i cope??? well, as discussed, there are different types of pain relief to help me thru, but in each one, there's always a catch, a side effect, i don't really want to be doped up or even my baby not to be able to enjoy the birthing process, if i can call it that!! epidural is quite the obvious favorite of the group, but it's the aftermat of it that causes you to think twice..hmmm..c-section, we've been ask to see pictures of these as well, it's not really a nice thought..well, if there's an emergency and you and the baby need this asap then why not? but as much as possible, i really don't want to be opened up like a slaughtered pig even though it's much more sofisticated than that..i guess, i'll just have to wait for the big day huh?? cause you can't really tell what u need until you're there right?? i might not want all of these now, but in the end my birth plans change..i think the best thing to do for me now, is not to think about this for now which worries me alot, and i'll just PRAY-this, i think is the best weapon of all fears.

knock knock...

2005-03-09T03:24:00.000-08:00

yeah, i know it has been a while since i entered my blog here, actually i got a reminder from my bro to update it, hehe sorry just got lazy lately, there has been alot going on both with my body, my mind, my environment but if you're prepared to read all this boring stuff,here goes...

the end of february has been pretty much okay-i think! my body is not adapting very well nowadays, i get less and less sleep everynight or DAY!! and i ache all over.. i am now on my annual leave, so work is out of my vocabulary now, though i keep myself updated with medical issues by reading my NCLEX review books, at least i feel less stressful with waking up in the morning and preparing for work :) my mind just keeps on racing everytime i try to get a rest, racing with different types of anxiety, mind boggling querries, i dont know!! i'm soooo confused, i blame it to the hormones thou, for not making me think straight and rest, sometimes i just find myself crying at night, because i wanted to rest-especially hearing my husbands snoore!!! duh! but i just can't!! :( anyway, 4 more weeks to go, well if this baby cooperates with his expected date of arrival, then surely i might, MIGHT just get some rest after all, bar the fact that the baby will cry for my attention from then on, huhu... oh well, that's motherhood. i started my first antenatal class last week, it was fun meeting all these different mummas from all sort of different backgrounds sharing all their ideas and experiences about being preggy, and how our midwife tries to answer all our daunting questions, but it is fun, and i can't wait for the next session where we will be asked to see a video of someone giving birth, hehe that should be exciting!! for the rest of the week, i think all i have to do is relax, duh! if i can, after all i needed the energy stored for that big push..but for now i think that's all i have to share, if you're not bored to death yet with this pregnancy issues,hehe ciao!!

and baby makes three..

2005-02-24T05:17:00.000-08:00

32 weeks and counting, anxiety is in my mind right now, how will i cope with the pain? is everything gonna be alright?? will the baby be fine??? what about afterwards? will my hubby and i cope woth those sleepless nights?? it's not gonna be there for just a week, parentohood will be there forever...too many questions..i just wish that having the baby will not mean saying goodbye to us being a couple, i hope we'll still find time to be with each other amidst the chaos all around us, we do both love kids, i thinks we'll have 2 or 3 more after this..hehe yeah right, we'll see...

nothin' much...

2005-02-21T00:25:00.000-08:00

weekend went by in a blur, thou there wasn't much i did..

saturday: wasn't feeling well again, so my hubby and i decided to stay home, he nursed me in bed trying to get rid of my flu, so nice to be pampered!!

sunday: wanted to watch "shall we dance" but it snowed, we both got lazy to go out because the weather has been bitterly cold all week and heard it will be for the rest of the week duh!! :( and besides he catched the cold too hehe , so much for pampering me then...

my baby is currently in his sommersault moods at this moment, so i bid farewell for now to let him do his tricks.

pregnacare

2005-02-18T07:02:00.000-08:00

sorry wasn't able to post for a few days here, pregnancy has taken it's toll on me as i wasn't feeling so well the past days, i had terrible heart burn, it kept me awake at night, my baby is kicking madly inside like he's got his own football field in there, i'm just so knackered these days!!! the weather here isn't helping at all, it rained and poured for 2 days, not to mention, it's bloody cold..so all i did mostly was sleep :) at daytime, as i couldn't at night, and ate of course :) one way to do my own version of pregancy caring (pregnacare)..

anywayzzzz, with the other news..my hubby and i just recently received our british residency visa to stay in the UK indefinetely..HOOORRRAAAYYY!!!! that means we can access anything now, our baby will be a briton soon, finally buy a house, and maybe travel more with less fuss with regards to visas.. that's one good thing after my days of feeling down :). God save the queen!! and the immigration officers, hehe

thanks bro

2005-02-16T05:56:00.000-08:00

just wanted to thank my bro for helping me make this blog site a bit more pleasing to the eye,hehe and teaching me with regards to photo uploading and stuff, you see when you're pregnant hormones can affect your brain, it does not work properly, you even develop a short term memory loss!! i know those mothers-who-have been-there-done -that would agree. right? thanks again bro!

one fine day

2005-02-14T13:54:00.000-08:00

i thought today would not turn out the way it should be, but i was wrong, first i was a bit nervous to go see my ward manager with regards to my off duty request as it was such short notice, i sensed she would not agree, but then my senses failed me-which is good in a way cause i got what i wanted,hehe after, i went to visit my hubby in his work place for a valentine dinner after work,(we skipped the idea of going to the cinema when we saw the queue) we then passed by mothercare to see the ever many prams and pushchair we so keep off our minds just yet as we are confused in deciding what to get, but anyway, we had a little sneak, we just can't help it, baby things here are just sooooo cute, not to mention expensive :( then we head off to this place called pizza express, an italian resto/pizza bar, very romantic ambience made especially for today, everywhere u look there's always couples, duh!! what do u expect it's hearts day for crying out loud!! :) anyway, we had garlic bread and dough balls brushed with butter for starters, green leafy salad, and mushroom pizza and a tortellini for the main course ( just wrote it down so it'll make your mouth water hehe) we were stuffed!! if i'm not preggy i would have a taste of their famous red wine, but i had diet coke sugar free instead( for those who enjoy life!) so that was basically what happened with my valentine here, not very exciting as like jumping off a cliff, but for me that would do,as long as i'm with 2 very important man in my life to celebrate it with..who gave me more than a dozen of my fave white roses :) isn't today just a one fine day??? it is for me, i dunno 'bout you. TADA!!

lazy sunday

2005-02-13T13:32:00.000-08:00

ii had a lazy sunday with my hubby today, the weather did cooperate as well, being very cold up to a minus 2 degrees(typical british winter weather) and windy as well, we just decided to stay at home and laze around, watched the O.C. today, glad ryan is back in the county, poor melissa thou, jealous about the other girl, why can't she just accept that life is not the way it was before??? oh well, then there would be no twist in the story then..hehe. saw the preview of the "cursed" i'm so excited that joshua jackson is finally back in the movies, it's been a long while i haven't seen his face on the big screen long after dawson's creek faded off, although he's been around london's theatre land-the west end as they say, doing a play with professor x from xmen( forgot what the guys name was).heard it has good reviews,hmmm must check it out sometime..from one dawson's creek character to the other, i wanted to see "first daughter", starring katie holmes, yes guys the beautiful joey potter,in her own lead role as the american president's daughter, i hope it'll be good, i persuaded my hubby to go watch it tomorrow, it's a must see valentine movie! speaking of valentine,happy hearts day to all!! may all of u feel love and happiness no matter what circumstances u are in..have a nice day everyone!!

pram or 3-wheeler? cot or moses basket????

2005-02-12T15:39:00.000-08:00

hi, i'm back, it's weird getting used to this blog idea,hehe but anyway, let me start to pour out thy mind..my husband and i went window shopping today in kingston(one of the old towns here in london) because we are absolutely confused on what to get for the baby, for the others who don't know, i am an expectant and very excited mother to be, currently 30 weeks on the way, OMG! the big push day is almost here :( anyway, we are undecided at the moment if we should get a pram for the baby( u know those old crib-look-alike-push system) or to get the new and sophisticated 3-wheeler with infant carrier????(we'll post some pics of these soon so you'll get what we mean)the pram is very good for the baby coz he can just lie on his back and sleep while we stroll, but can be very heavy(doesn't help especially when u live on a 2nd floor,13 flight of stairs flat!!!) the 3 wheeler, very nice and convenient, but can be very big and difficult to fold-still not convenient with where we live right now..so at the moment, we are like blank with what to choose,and we have to decide fast as the D-day is almost here,and to adhere to british child care and standards u have to have the necessary child equipments prior to birth!! pressure to the max!! also a mind boggler is to have a cot( crib inthe phil.) or moses basket,yup u guessed it right, derived from the bible story where moses was left to float in a basket-with this, new born babies can easily fit the basket because they're still tiny and so less chances for them to move around as there is little space, and reducing the risk of SIDS according to the studies. (S-sudden I-infant D-death S-syndrome) but again, the flaws is that he'll only be able to use it until 3months old, while the crib/cot can be used even when he's playing by himself already, practicality sake cot/crib is better,flaws is it's heavy and space consuming!!! aaaagggghhhh!!! what's left to choose now??? motherhood is not a very easy task indeed! u should be thanking ur moms u know, after all the torture of 3 months nausea and vomiting,to picking up the right cot or pram for u, up until the day she pushed u, until now u are here reading this blog..moms are to be praised for!! CIAO for now!!
