>Ordinary Day

>
Today is just like any ordinary day.

Nasa bahay lang kami at eto nagwowork. Hindi na masyadong grabe ang morning sickness ko. Kaya ko ng magtoothbrush ng matagal hindi katulad last week na nasusuka ako sa lasa ng toothpaste. I love eating sampalok and strawberries pa rin.
Excited ako this Wednesday kasi mamimili na kami ng handa namin sa New Year. I will be buying more fruits. Nasanay na rin kasi ako na gawin yon every year. We will also prepare mango float. Excited si hubby kasi favorite nya ang mango float.
We will be having our yearly reunion with my relatives in Pasig. Excited kasi magkita kita ulit kami ng mga makukulit kong pinsan, titos, titas, inaanak at pamangkins. Meron pang exchange gift.
Ang iba ko namang kapatid uuwi sa laguna kasi don mag New Year. Nasanay na rin kasi silang mag New Year don sa bahay. Dapat lang don sila para naman magkaroon ng tao don sa bahay. Mahirap kasi kung wala. Minsan naisip namin na lumipta ng ibang lugar pero kapag naisip namin na andon si Papa nilibing naisip ko na hindi pala kami dapat mawala sa lugar na yon. Kaya eto plano kong bumili ng lupa don para magkaroon talaga kami ng sariling bahay don. Kahit bahay kubo lang basta sa amin na talaga. Sana matupad yon this coming year.
Si Gareth wala na pala syang lagnat pero parang hindi pa rin lumabas ng tuluyan ang ngipin nya. hay hassle talaga yan.. pero dapat magtiis talaga sya.
Si Mama naman tatawagan na lang namin sya sa New Year and as usual magpadala ako sa kanya ng panghanda nya ngayong New Year. Gusto sana naming umuwi don sa summer, kaso kailangan mag ipon kasi manganganak ako next year. Kaya malamang hindi kami matutuloy.
Malaki ang pasalamat ko kasi madami kaming work ngayon, kahit papano makapag ipon agad kami para maexpand pa ang business namin. We will be opening a new store soon para sa overruns items. Baka magbukas kami this coming February. Ginagawa ko pa ang business plan namin for next year at sana mareach namin ang target namin.
Plano kasi talaga namin mag invest ng mag invest pero dapat meron din return of investment para pang support sa binili naming property.
I am planning of reading more business and investments books para mas maging wise ako pagdating sa level na yon. This is also one way of securing our future.
Anyway, madaming nangyayari lately, katulad na lang ng sunod sunod na pagkalunod ng barko. Personally, nalungkot ako kasi bago nangyari yong trahedyang yon nanaginip ako na mangyayari yon. Hindi ko yon pinansin agad, akala ko kasi parang flashback lang. Sana wala ng hahabol pa na trahedya. Sana tama na ang mga nangyaring hindi maganda.
Let us all pray and continue hoping na maging maayos na lahat.
That’s all for now.. Goodnight!

>Busy Christmas Week

>I had a great Christmas. No Christmas break for us. We are working at home and if we stop working we don’t have money on the following weeks. We need to save for more expenses in the coming months.

Anyway, we still have leftover and everyday we are eating spaghetti and ham. New Year is coming and we are already planning our menu. 🙂
Gareth loves spaghetti and even in the middle of the night he is looking for it. Because of that I already know what to order if we are going to visit Jollibee. 🙂
I just finished working but still I have 15 hours to go and I don’t know if I can finish it until tomorrow.
So… that’s all for now..
Goodnight!!

>Merry Christmas!

I woke up 1p.m because I had my last Christmas shopping last Wednesday at Greenhills and get some few items from my store for my sister as a gift.

I packed the gifts last night then sleep. I was so tired. I really gave myself enough sleep because my baby needs it.
When I woke up I got a text message from my sisters that they can’t come tonight. I was so mad! I texted them and of course nag! But still I can’t force them! This is the first time that my 2 sisters are not with us to celebrate Christmas Eve. They will come tomorrow and I am looking forward for it because we have very important things to talk about.
This is also the first Christmas that my mother is not with us. She went home to Cagayan de Oro last November and decided to stay in CDO for good but of course we her children are sending her monthly allowance. Shes so lucky!
Gareth is not feeling well. He has fever due to teething. It’s manageable but still he is not as comfortable. I regularly check his temperature and sometimes I have sleepless nights because of this. I hope it won’t affect the 2nd baby but of course I am trying to rest as much as I can.
We prepare Fruit Salad, Ham and Spaghetti and even Gareth is not feeling well he loves spaghetti. That’s my boy!

I attended mass with hubby. We thanked God for all the blessings for this year. Though so many things happen in our country lately I am glad that God continue to protect us and shower His blessings.
For all the things that happen in our lives lately, I think we have so much things to be thankful for. It was a great year!! and I am looking for a better year ahead! Thank you God for all the blessings!

Merry Christmas Everyone!!

>Prenatal Check Up

>Last Friday I had my first prenatal checkup. It was fun because I met my OB again. We had a great time. She is so excited of my 2nd pregnancy.

I will be meeting her again next month.

>Cravings

>

Today I am craving strawberries and longganiza from Cebu.


I am glad that I found fresh strawberries and longganisa in Shopwise.
That simply made my day.

>Tired

>Today, we go out to have a special time with Gareth. I noticed that lately he had tantrums and we thought that maybe he is so bored in the house. So we visited SM Megamall. We had lunch at Jollibee (his favorite) then had dinner in Sushiya. We watched movie too. At first he was scared because it was too dark. It’s not his first time though but still he was afraid.

He likes popcorn and from now on he will always comes with us every Wednesday.
I feel so tired too and decided not to work now. I will resume working tomorrow. All I want now is to rest…
Goodnight!

>All About Gareth

>

Gareth grows so fast. He is a quite type. He seldom talk but if he does it really makes sense. He is not sociable maybe because he is not surrounded by kids.
Next month, I will enroll him in Gymboree to prepare him to attend school. This will also help him to mingle with kids.
He loves cars and we are collecting different cars but it won’t last a week. Lahat yon sira na. grrr He also like reading books. I think it’s about time to start collecting books and my favorite site is Amazon. I will be purchasing more books for him and educational toys.
I am so happy to have him. 🙂
