Here are some 7 Random facts about my life:

1. Im a stay- at-home mom with no yaya by choice. Period.

2. I have one of the most horrifying vomiting experience when i was preggy. BElieve me, from 107 lbs during the start of my pregnancy, it dropped down to 90 lbs in 3 months. I was hospitalized due to excessive vomiting which might lead to dehydration.

3. Never went to kindergarten. I tried, but when my classmate tapped his pencil on my head, hindi na ako pumasok. Sabi ko din daw sa mom ko , alam ko na yung tinuturo ng teacher ko hahaha... the next school year, I passed the entrance exam for Grade 1! :) Geeky!

4. My longest working experience is 5 months! hahaha! ma swerte at umabot pa ng 5 months sa pagtitiis ko. I first worked at Amkor for a month ( yeah 1 month), tapos tinamad na ko. I didn't work for 4 years. I tried call center. The 1st one , 3 months lang, then i got bored with the calls. I transferred to the Int'l hotel industry before getting married, and stayed there for 5 months. I resigned 4 months before the wedding.

5. I don't shop for Joaqui's clothes. My mom, my dad and my sis shops for him. Hahaha! Ang binibili ko lang dito would be his pajamas and sandos. And luckily, during his bday, when i was asked by my titas kung ano gusto ko gift for joaqui, PJ's and sandos ok na ko. :) I just feel so lucky kasi i save a lot on clothes. oh and not just clothes, pati baby gear. hehehe

6. I love to read.. I can spend the whole day reading at just about anything. Even labels or pamphlets inside the sterilizer, bottles.. anything , binabasa ko talaga.

7. I am happily married.. and I am sooo enjoying life now that we have Joaquin.

I won't be tagging anyone , since most of blogging friends answered this already LOL!

The shoe girl is back!

Even before I got married, I am so much into shoes. I remember posting at my old blog regarding my shoe collection. I do have lots of shoes.. haay If only Gelo could speak right this moment. I can actually see the look in his face once i mention the word "shoes" or "flats". LOL.

I guess that explains why I love Carrie Bradshaw of Sex and the City.. hahha! but i don't have Manolo's yet.. yet..! ( wish I have that collection too ! and I wish that Gelo reads this post)

I buy shoes from 168 to branded shops. Some are courtesy of my mom. I am mostly into flats, mga ballet type of shoes. May stripes, beaded, shining shimmering, peep toe, bronze, silver, gold, then some are sneakers type naman, rubber shoes basta footwear.. :) iba pa yung mga flip flops and "bakya" type like Happy Feet ( oh, i only have 1 Happy Feet, coz i don't find it comfy eh)

Then I came across these Ichigo shoes from the multiply site. And I saw it at Weng's blog too, i think she purchased 3 pairs already. So I texted her and asked for her verdict... And according to her, It's really comfy. Sarap sa paa :) And Being a sucker for flat shoes, i definitely need to try it out and have my own pair ( or pairs , LOL) It would look perfect with my gauchos :) Syempre pa, i texted the lady behind Ichigo for my queries on the sizes, can't wait! Here are my picks!



** nice shade of green, and the pink lining would match my watch :) **



** syempre may hint of pink pa din for my watch and the print looks sexy**






** for smart casuals, safe colors pa **

Actually, even before i had this entry posted, I already informed Gelo that I am buying new flats. What's next?... wish me luck! coz Gelo knows I won't buy just one pair. hahaha!

pilyo ba ako?!?!

He really has his own way of making us smile ( and actually burst into laughter) during Papa's cremation. Good thing this was taken after the mass. Grabe, naaalala ko si Pugak sa pic nya hahahaa ( bad mommy!) But Joaqui is so cute pa din naman with these shots.

Thanks to JV ( my SIL's BF) for the DSLR experience. I personally took these pics.. pwede na ba?

Syempre, late na naman tong post ko na to :)

The quarter at the Little Gym El Pueblo started last May 27, and Joaqui is under the Birds class ( but Teacher Clara would call them the Big BIrds) for 10-19 mos kiddos. He is by far, at 13 mos, the youngest in their class when we started. Abie ni Howell ' s Little Bela is his classmate. But Bela transferred to the Beasties already coz she's 19 mos na.

It's always a fun time at the Gym. Pero grabe ang pagod ko ha, Jane is true enough, exercise sya for me. Though the area is air conditioned, I perspire a lot. Plus I always feel thirsty pa. So after class, we drop by Mc Do ( El pueblo). I am actually asking Gelo to fill it out for me next week. I just wanna experience sitting and just plainly watching them inside the Gym, pero ayaw nya eh. Expectator daw ang role nya... But in fairness, feeling ko I'm losing a few pounds, coz im back to Medium size in my gauchos. Hahaha! Yeah, i used to have large kasi feeling ko puputok sa akin ang Medium.. but now.. ehem.... this is my line .. " Can i have this in medium?" o diba?!?!

The pics are courtesy of Howell ni Abie, who is by the way a bad influence to Gelo because of his DSLR. ( ooppss not just to gelo pala, but to another dad of Joaqui's classmate, for he purchased a Canon 400D already.hahaha! ) pics are taken during their first week . Thanks a lot :)

a matter of acceptance

Its only now that I checked at my sis' blog at friendster since she doesn't update that much. I saw an entry she made for her dear friend, Mia, who passed away last May 31 at the age of 24. I cried as i was reading it coz Mia is like a family to us too. She was there during our wedding and Joaqui's birthday (with her baby Bea who will turn 1 next month). We even had a few chats regarding bday preps of her daughter coz she asked for the contact details of Jelly Bellies and party tips too. We went to Mia's wake last June 3 when Papa was ill already. I know how Ricca, my sis, felt that moment she knew that Mia passed away. And I quote :" Im sorry i cant be there to say goodbye personally.. but the hurt and the sorrow is no way less than how everybody around you right now feels.. we all love you, no matter where we are.. we all care for you.".....

My sister wrote this prayer and I just modified a few words coz I'll be praying this for Papa too:

"God, You have reasons for everything, it may be hard for us to accept it, but with Your guidance and wisdom we will realize the reason why this has to happen.. with an open heart we give him to you.. We know he's happy being in heaven, looking down upon us. give us the strength to get through everyday, take away all the pain and the sorrow that fill our hearts right now.. strengthen the bond that keeps our family together.. eventhough You already took Papa away from us here in this world, We know that somewhere he's watching over us.. to our new guardian angel, dont worry we'll be fine.. dont worry about us, because were always going to be here for each other... just be in peace.. and fill our hearts with peace as well. knowing that your happy where you are right now will ease the loneliness.. We will never forget you, thanks for all the love.. WE LOVE YOU..."

I think goodbye is really a hard thing to say, but we have to let you go now. We cant question God's plans, the only thing we can do is accept it and maybe on His right time we will now the reason why this has to happen.
