Jump for Joy
Im not sure if Sam (jacqui's) has a pic while jumping. Sophia (Jane's ), on the other hand enjoyed coloring a book from Abie's kalakal. Girl Scout si jacqui, may baon na Colors!!! Where is Matthew and Martha ( Aggie's) ? They arrived late, so they were still eating during this time :)
Joaqui got all sweaty.. He arrived in a denim jumper, a few minutes after, I made him wear shorts. Before going home, I changed him to a T shirt naman.
Ayan! Ayaw magpalit ng damit at gusto pang tumalon ng tumalon. Parang ang linis ng floor kung umupo! In times like this, I let Gelo do the action :) I changed his clothes , and gave him his milk.. in no time , he was asleep, LOL!
That explains why he's not in this picture..
Shoe craze
I want these three. They have high cut boots, but I'll settle with this pink one (they have it in aqua blue too ) , I find it really unique chic.
Blowfish Designer shoes are really making it big in the market nowadays. Check out their site, and I'm sure you will find your shoe match. Happy Shoe Hunting!

Sleepy Monday
Gelo went to office today until 12 noon, and I am one happy mommy because I was able to take a nap after lunch. Joaqui wasn't sleepy at all, so I asked Hubby to look after the little boy as I sleep. I feel rejuvenated after 2 hours of sleep. Sana araw araw ganito (ambisyosa!) .. hahaha!
I cooked the twister fries that I bought at SM grocery yesterday, and we munched on it while we shared some funny stories of our little boy. I just love this day.

Happy Weekend
We are supposed to watch the Wanders Circus Show tonight, a friend gave me 6 free tickets this afternoon, but we are just too tired to go to Casino Filipino , Sucat. The tickets are only valid for tonight though. We just had dinner at Pizza Hut since I crave for Pizza lately. Joaqui also had his usual trip at Timezone.
Tomorrow will be a long day, I am scheduled for my prenatal check up at 12 noon, then we are off to St. Lukes Hospital to visit my MIL who is scheduled to have her executive check up. We might drop by our travel agent later in the afternoon for some inquiries , the husband is planning to have some luxury vacations by the start of next year. I hope we still have a budget for that.
Come Sunday, Im meeting with the MBAP's for our Lunch at Dampa , Macapagal .. im one excited preggy girl.. of course, aside from the chit chat with the moms, im craving for buttered shrimps, liempo , squid , etc.. etc.. See you mommies!
Have a great weekend everyone! Stay safe !

Not so Smart
It started last week , and I thought I was having problems with my laptop when I cannot load some pages im trying to view. My friendster even appears without pictures. Grr! The other day was the worst! At first I can access YM, but cant open any site. Then I tried our desktop, still the same thing. So I called SmartBro to ask them if there's a problem with my internet connection. The CSR told me that the base station is okay and I should be able to surf the net smoothly. After telling her that I am using a router, she asked me to have it isolated , and have the internet cable directly attached to the desktop.. and so I DID.
I was able to get thru YM and open the sites, BUT .. sometimes the page won't load at first try. I really have to refresh once or twice to see the site. * sigh *
I will have the router checked too this weekend, but I can sense that there's really something wrong again after hearing the same story from Abie . Staying in just one place to go online is just so hard for me , since I am used to chatting and doing some tasks anywhere I wanna be in the house , or should I say , anywhere Joaqui is. I can only go online after lunch , the time we go to our room after Joaqui's bath. I hope I'll have my wireless connection again asap!
Halloween Costume for my boy
I browsed with their listings for toddlers , and I am having a hard time choosing. At first I saw Barney , then Blue of Blue's Clues , Elmo , and there's a lot of animals featured too. But I am inclined on getting Blue, since that's his all time favorite character. He will definitely be in the mood during trick or treat if he's wearing Blue.
Since I am due to give birth from the last week of October to the first week of November, I fear that I wont be able to join him during trick or treat. Maybe , it would just be him and his dad. But if I can still manage to join him, of course, I'll do everything to be with him on that day. He's bigger now , and I know he will enjoy the trick or treat. So to all mommies out there looking for costumes , be sure to read about halloween costume safety first buying anything. We all want our kids to be safe and have fun , right?
I need friends!
We need friends for many reasons,
all throughout the season.
We need friends to comfort us
when we are sad,
and to have fun with us when we are glad.
We need friends to give us good advice,
We need someone we can count on,
and treat us nice.
We need friends to remember us
one we have passed
sharing memories that will always last.
Spread the poem of friendship.

And there was light.
And so last weekend, while me and my family were at the mall , I checked at the lighting section to get her a gift. Wow! I was so impressed with the lights that I saw that I really wanted to get Chandeliers for our home, but we don't need one for now. Though I find it really appealing at the living room, we just had our new lights after the house was renovated, but still, who knows, we can get a chandelier and have it placed somewhere in the house. Outdoor Lighting Fixtures are also getting in the trend now. They offer not just the old traditional ones, and from what I've seen at the mall, some can even match up with the theme of your outdoors. I was able to get my friend a Vanity Lighting at a really good cost, and I got her a brand that I trust too. Now, I just can't wait to meet her at the house warming.
Questions of the Week #28
1. Are you easily influenced by other people or current trends? - no, not really. I may follow trends, but I try to have a few add ons to that.
2. What makes you unique (in your own opinion)?- hmmm.. just being ME and something else called CHARM ! ( LOL, meron ba ko nun?)
3. Name 3 of your worst quality. - Moody, impatient, and lazy (the last one is acceptable since im preggy )
4. Name 3 of your best. - devoted in my chosen life. Thats all i can think of right now.
5. Describe the nicest thing anyone has ever done for you. - gelo giving me not just a beautiful wedding, but a wonderful family .
6. Tell me about your dream last night. - cant remember.
7. What is the most expensive item you own? - maybe our car.
8. How about the least expensive? - a lot.. like clothes
9. Do you ever leave little notes to your partner? - we exchange small notes during college , but now , very seldom. only when i need to remind him of something, i write something at his planner , so when he opens it at the office, he'll get reminded.
10. When you’re talking, do you ever use your hands in the air to do quotation marks of certain words? - nope.

Books for Kuya.
The Chicka Chika ABC book is his current favorite. He saw this at the Alphabet Power Episode of Blue's Room, and he got hooked with it. I thought of buying it online, and even asked my mom to get it at Barnes and Noble.. But good thing , I checked it first at Fully Booked, at Php 252 sulit na , since its a board book.
I also bought the I am A Big Brother Book for him. This is one great book to prepare Kuya Joaqui for the coming of the new baby. I got teary eyed the first time I saw the pages..
We started reading last night, and Im glad he enjoyed listening to me and looking at the pictures. He knows that the little boy in the picture is Kuya Joaqui. He keeps on going back the page where the big bro is giving a bottle of milk to the baby. Im touched.. when we had a first browse of the book, he told me , "mommy, again.. again" .. I hope this bok will really help us to prepare him. There's also some helpful notes for the parents at the back of the book. Truly, worth buying :)

Here's Joaqui with his plate of rice with Dinuguan
I'm one lucky mom, he's not picky at all when it comes to food. He enjoyed dinuguan even before he turned 2 last April. He eats on his own already, especially when we are at home. I just sit him at his booster chair , buckle him and put on his tray. He drinks from a cup, he prefers that over tumblers during home meals.
Tagging jane, abie , jacqui and kelly.
I am .
Yebah !!! Thanks Jody :)
Do you know any bloggers that kick ass? Maybe they’ve got incredible, original content. Or they’re overflowing with creativity. Is it someone that helps you become a better blogger? Or a bloggy friend you know you can count on? Or maybe it’s someone who simply inspires you to be a better person… or someone else who sends you to the floor, laughing your ass off. Whatever the reason may be, I’m sure you know at least a couple of bloggers that kick ass. Well… why not tell ‘em so? LOVE ON ‘EM -
Passing to all mommies out there!
feeling warm.
My sister is not really familiar with this product since we don't have one here in Manila, so she first looked online for some nice and affordable gas or electric fires that they can buy for the living room. She never thought that there's a lot of modern and contemporary designs to choose from, and she got really excited to get one soon. She considers checking the mall too this weekend, and she sill just ask our dad to accompany her. I really can't contribute much info ih this product , since we don't need one, so all I did was help her look for sites that has a lot of designs with good prices. I cant wait to see what they will buy this weekend.
~ time out ~
So timely, walang opps hahaha!
I dont want to post our plans for the weekend, baka may kumontra at di pa matuloy, Hahaha! As if may plans!
Have a great weekend everyone!! Take care and stay safe:)

Your Attention Span is Medium |
Your attention span is just about average. You may think that you have a short attention span... But being distracted is something most people struggle with. The most important thing is that you're aware that your mind wanders. If you find yourself daydreaming, you can usually snap out of it. It may be tough to concentrate at times, but you can do it... if you want to! |

My drummer boy
Crazy with drums! And he's still not over it.
Kids usually have this trait of getting bored with their toys after a few times of playing with it.. but not Joaqui and his drums. These pics were taken last June, and ever since he got hold of this drum, its a must for him to get into some beat every single day, oh and it's not just once a day , im telling you.
He usually asks our helper to get it from the playroom and place it at the living room while watching Wowowee or Singing Bee :) He taps well, and would usually end it with a hit of the cymbals. Yeah, it's nosiy and sometimes, it gets annoying when you can't hear the contestants at Singing Bee anymore :) .. but seeing and hearing him play and enjoy what he's doing, I just can't help but smile and say .. "i will have a drummer soon" ..
Here's another shot of him while playing at Timezone ( no swiping of card though) . Would you believe that he would usually rush to this drum machine after shooting some hoops? At most times, an adult is playing, so he patiently waits for his turn, or he will stare at the drumset and player while watching. Bilib na bilib , LOL.
I just can't wait to enroll him for some formal training in drums. For now, we might have a trial session at Gymboree's Music Class. Hmm.. let's see ! I am off to check on some audio racks this weekend, and I really plan to visit Gymboree at Trinoma and have a trial session maybe.
Getting heavier !

** I hate ironing clothes and dusting furnitures :) I am not good with ironing , i tried really hard before, but I always fail. It ended up that my mom or our helper will re- iron everything . Hehehe. And when it comes to dusting furnitures, yeah it's an easy task, but I am asthmatic, so that explains why. I end up sneezing with terrible colds. **
