”And lovely are the blossoms

That are tended with great care,

By those who work unselfishly

To make the place more fair.

And, like the garden blossoms,

Friendship’s flower grows more sweet

When watched and tended carefully

By those we know and meet.

And, if the seed of friendship

Is planted deep and true

And watched with understanding,

Friendship’s flower will bloom for you.”

Giving these flowers to Mich and Jane . Congratulations and have a speedy recovery mommies!

friendship award

Thanks to Abie and Chat for this award. As what I always say, I am soo thankful to blogging for giving lots of mommy friends.. lots of friends I should say. So to all of you, here's my friendship award.. Truly, blogging is rewarding ( add paid blogging to that too, LOL).. here's to more years of friendship!

A home in UK

During the holidays, my friend from UK called in to greet me and my family. We had a quite long conversation because it has been a while since we last saw each other. I was so surprised to know that she is pregnant now and is moving in a new place. She showed me some properties on their list, and that includes Abram Manchester one bed flats for sale. They are in touch with an agent already and they have seen the place. I can feel the excitement in her voice. But since they are expecting a child soon, they might buy 2 bed flat in Bedminster Bristol. I suggested that they should get the 2 bed flat since they can use the other room as a playroom or nursery. Oh I missed seeing UK and seeing familiar places at the site map makes me wanna visit my friend soon.

Very interesting to see 'who' your friends are!

(10-16 points) You are Garfield :
You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to
have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what
you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may
not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:
You are fun, you are very cool and popular. You always know what's i n
and you are never are out of style You are good at knowing how to
satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days
more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned Being married and having children are important to you, but
only after you have had your share of fun times

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:
You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing to
give advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic and
you always see the bright side of things. Some good advice: try not to
be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in
your life.

(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants: - this is me (")
You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend
that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose. You never cause
harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life
is a journey, it's funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from
traitors and jealous people, and you will be stress free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown:
You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious
about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your Mom
every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few
Birthdays. Don't let your passion confuse you with reality.

(44-50 points) You are Dexter:
You are smart and definitely a thinker... Every situation is fronted
with a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong
family principles. You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad
situation when it comes.

Try to do less over thinking every once in a while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity!

Thanks Pam.. I felt like a child again:)

Feel free to snag this one!

The second part of my Sunday

This is a continuation of THIS.

I then saw Apols. At first I never knew it was her, parang nag second look pa talaga kami.. then we recognized each other na. Wala pa mga kiddos nya nun, we had a few chikas. She's a warm person, too far from her blog stories and some of her pics. She looks younger and sexier in person (inggit ako, do i still have to say that?) She's kinda tense kasi nga di pa nya nakausap ung host. And so joaquin walked and ran at the premises, he even entered the party area kahit may iba pang party! Crasher LOL!

Time was kinda fast, befor I knew it, Apols invited us at the party area already. As usual, I wasa yaya to Joaquin while Gelo was the photographer. I instructed him to take snap shots of moms pag may nag arrive na. Basta nakita ko na lang si Aggie dumadating na. I met her once at UST because Martha and Joaqui shares the same pedia. Chatmate ko din yan about anything hehehe. Always ready to help out kahit na makulit na ko sa YM :) I love her kids. Sayang wala si Edil, walang naka chika si Gelo about Anime stuff :) Mato is really gwaping and Martha is stilll nag mamalditang bata.. but she is irresistable when she smiles. I was wondering bakit tahimik sya on our way home, nag milk pala LOL! EB tyo sa SM ha, wag na kay Dra. :)

Then parang nagulat ako, tumalikod lang ako sandali andun na.. andami! Shocked talaga, maybe this is one of the reason why Jane thought that I was shy at first LOL! Hay, ito na sila, in person! Jane approached me, and I saw her Sophia too. BIG Girl as we all say, Ate na talaga ang dating, so pwede na sundan. I admire Jane for being "bantay" to Sophia while playing. Though yaya was there at the play area, andun din si Jane, parang taga supervise :) from that instance I knew, she may have Yaya, pero todo bantay pa din kay Sophia. She could have opted to make chika to other moms, pero dun sya nakipag chikahan muna. Love that attitude Mommy Jane. With all the times na magka chat tyo, I never told you that, I reserved it for this post :)

Joy then approached me, Syempre she asked for my Kalakal agad :) She's tall nga , and girl, i love your bangs and your red shoes. Kala mo di ko napansin ano?! Sandy is adorable, Gawd, twice sila nag kiss ni Joaqui. and i Love her outfit.. preppy look. She's kikay , i can sense, coz she asked for my necklace "what is this?" while touching it. Next time il see you, il give her accessories! Nililigaw ko na si Joaqui sa kanya.. :)

Jacqui was the next one I saw, she introduced herself.. and grabe.. ma kwento sya:) Alam mo lahat ng pics mo, super naka smile ka or ur laughing talaga.. Jolly person. Super cool sa games.. kahit kalaban namin sya , hala, natatawa ako sa mga comments nya. Sam is adorable too :) And by the way, no stir, you look sexier in person. True yan :)

Thea was at the other side of the venue (as if nman super laki diba?), but I find her really nice and game na game talaga ha. Maybe next time, mas may time to make kwentuhan. Your little girl is such a cutie too .. And you don't look preggy with your dress, dont worry :) Feel glad to meet you and your family!

Jody was there with her 2 kids and Dicky. I was looking at her kids kasi they are prim and proper, especially Margaux. Grabe, parang ako nung dalaga pa ko LOL! Bianca loves the play area din eh, sinusundan yata sya ni Joaqui dun. I enjoyed being your teammate sa Sassy Mommies, talaga namang na hyper pa tyo kaka sigaw.. Bitin ako sa chikahan portion! Share notes ka din sa BE ha.. i have a few more BE here, tinamad na ko gamitin :)

Kelly, The Best Dressed! I love your top. Carry ko kaya to wear that while following Joaquin all over? And I told you.. your Glam Mellissa won't escape my eyes... You look reserved as compared to some of us.. But I know, you have a lot in store.. Next time bring Manu ha. I'm so excited to see you at the Barney Concert! Hope we can share chikas before the concert itself. Oh, and thanks for updating me with the new designs of Melissa, and the new store at Rockwell too. Hope i will have a size on Sunday, we might drop by:)

I saw Mich and introduced myself too. Then we talked about her orders na. Super thanks for buying, diba, girl scout ako, may plastic pa kong dala :) Alex is such a girlie, sa damit pa lang, pink na pink na hehehe :) You seem really nice eh, coz ur always smiling, when u smile, nawawala na eys mo, cuteness!

Apple arrived with Austin, and syempre super mommy ya, kaya late na. But its okay, at least she made it. Had a chit chat with her, met her before Joaqui's 1st birthday pa coz I got our Standees from her. She is such a kind hearted person talaga :) Very creative .. sayang lang, wala na talagang time to chika.

Lastly, Abie , weekly na lang nakikita ko na to sa Little Gym eh, nagsasawa na nga ako sa kanila ni Howell ! JOKE! LOL! Super chatmate, textmate, co - parent at the gym.. hehehe :) In a short time na nakilala ko sya, I can say that she is such a true person. Same with Howell, kaya Gelo goes along well with him too. I do enjoy your company, sa mga chikahan natin sa gym, short but sweet :) Happy Birthday to Bela... excited na kami sa Saturday :)

And to my new girlfriends, Thank you.. I really found a friend in all of you. Though the chikahan was a bit short, ok lang din. I just wish that our friendship would go a long way pa .. and other mommy bloggers can join us next time .. :)

my 3 things

literally 3 things i can't let go of (for now..)

1. computer with internet connection - i use it to chat with my family and of course.. paid blogging :) I would go crazy without it.. believe me :)

2. our canon 400d - i just love taking photographs. now that joaquin is growing fast, i need to preserve every moment in a photograph..

3. my paypal money - it feels great to earn my own money after a few years of being a bummer , LOL! Thanksgiving is fast approaching, me and my sister are gearing up for it.. and yes.. my paypal money is tied up with a debit card at my US account.. yeeha! go go go na naman sa shopping!

Thanks Jane for this tag.. Fell free to grab this from me if you need any fillers for your paid opps :)

Gelo picked up his reserved jacket from Shangrila during the class, Nice and I cancelled our meet up and decided to ship the items na lang for a hassle free sunday :) So yeah.. we were at Greenbelt at 330 - 4 pm I guess. The little boy was asleep then so easy window shopping for us. The daddy invited me to check out the LV Store, asus! He's checking on some wallets.. hmm, wala pa tayong pambili nyan. I am looking for the Coach store.. San ba yun? I need to compare their prices with the online store. LOL.

So at 4:30, we were at Mcdo already! LOL! We stayed at the cafe, and 5 mins later, Apols arrived. Chika chiakng konti. Joaqui was already at the party area when the party before ours are still packing. Crasher! LOL!

And when all of the mommies with their kids and hubbies arrived, hay , ang ingay na! LOL! Chika dito , chika dun! The kids are everywhere! Happiness talaga! Gelo and I had so much fun! And the little boy too. Grabe, naka 2 kiss sya agad kay Sandy ha! Ano ba yan Joy! Ang bilis ng anak ko , LOL! I enjoyed the games.. oh and i love the gifts we received.

Question Tag

This one is from Abie..

What is the most memorable thing that your daughter/son has done for you?

** At Joaqui's age of 1 year and 7 months (on the 12th) , I think the most memorable thing he did to me was the first time he ever said the words " I LOVE YOU".. well, it sound like LABYU, but it means the same :) He would usually follow that one with a hug or a kiss. Awww! My heart is melting..

I am so dead tired tonight, I can't think of any good question to ask. Will be back for this soon.

Thanks Abie and see you tomorrow!

mommy talk

Was Tagged by Ann and Alpha .. Thanks dear friends

1. What food did you crave when you were pregnant?

My first craving was Spaghetti with Chicken from McDonalds. Yeah, it has to be from Mcdo. Gelo bought me one from Jollibee, so he was the one who ate it na lang :)

2. Did you gain a lot of weight when you were pregnant?

I was 107 lbs when i found out that I was pregnant. Then I turned 135 lbs on my last check up. Do the math :)

3. Did you drink milk when you were pregnant?

No. I tried the Gerber Moms in Choco, but i'm telling you, I'm vomiting the whole day, even water! To the point that i wasn't able to make it to the washroom. Grabe na to!

4. How long did you stay in the labor room before your delivery?

I was at the Labor Room from 12 noon til 5pm. I gave birth at 5:22 pm :) I was okay til 3pm. But after that, I went crazy :)

5. Did you have epidural during labor?

Oh yes! At first, i had Demerol, i tried testing my tolerance for pain, and i'm really saving up too. But it seems that there's no effect after a few minutes, and the pain is really killing me. So I said to my OB " Dra, Epidural nyo na ko ".

6. How did you give birth?

Normal delivery with Epidural :) 2 iri lang, lumabas na :) Just had a hard time during the last part of my labor.

7. What was your first reaction when you heard your baby's cry and saw him/her for the first time?

Extremely Happy, really unexplainable. I wasnt really like crying, teary-eyed lang. I wanted to hold him though he still has blood all over, but I wasnt allowed yet. joaquin was placed at my chest :)

8. Prior to that moment when you first held your baby, did you know how to carry a newborn?

Not really. Though I am exposed to kids, I'm too afraid to habndle newborn til now. I guess, I can only hold my own hehehe.

9. Did you take a bath after your delivery?

God, No! LOL. But I do sponge bath twice a day, but full bath, a few days after pa. You know, old tales :) I do clean up my top whenever breastfeed si joaqui.

10. How was your first night with your baby like?

nyay! He wasn't crying much, only when he was hungry for milk and with a poop. But he is super loud pag may poop talaga, as in we are all up in the middle of the night. The daddy acted as my assistant. Would you believe we take turns on being up? As in di namin sya tinutulugan for a few days. I was clueless on what to do.

11. Did you breastfeed your baby?

Yes. but for 2 months only :( I got so tired with housework since its all me with Joaquin. I feel sad that I wasn't able to BF him longer. So definitely, with the next baby, Il concentrate more on that and i wont let things come my way.

12. If you were to pick just one moment from the time you gave birth until the moment you were discharged from the hospital, which do you think is the most special moment for you?

The first time i went to the nursery room for breastfeeding. I carried him in my arms for the very first time, mabigat pala :) hahaha! Oh and i kept staring at him lang.

Thanks a lot Ann and Alpha :) go tag yourself and reminisce that special moment in your life :)
