something for Sky
Photo was taken when I was about 6 months pregnant with Sky. Now, I am preoccupied with stuff that he needs. A perfect example would be a stroller that will bring him to places. This is actually a promised Christening gift of his godmothers located around the world :) I checked online and found out about Bob stroller. Not only does it focus on high quality but it is also sturdy and can last up to the last child that a mother will deliver. Get one now!

remembering UP days
Since last week, I have been craving for this street food. I remember during my college days (and a few years after when I was still based near my alma mater), me and my friends would go to Mang Larry almost every weekend (when I was already working) or after our last class (during college days) to eat to our hearts content! I guess, more than the satisfaction that this gives to our hungry stomachs, it's actually the friendship that I miss the most. I am wondering also why I wasn't in need of the best female fat burner back then when I ate a lot but never really gained that much weight? Hmmm...
Friday's to do list
I guess I really need to get the best multivitamin for myself already. I have multitasking lately and there are times that I forgot one or two things in my list. case in point today - we have to go out to do some errands and since I tend to become forgetful, I wrote down all my to-do list in my power planner so there's no reason for me to miss out something. What are the tasks today?
- go to SSJ to reserve morning slot on March 21st (for Sky's baptism)
- go to Dad's/Saisaki/Kamayan to pay reservation fee and block off slot for same date (Sky's baptism)
- office to submit requirements for HMO, SSS, Philhealth
- buy some stuff for Sky
- do a little grocery (cold cuts)
- go to the bank
Hay. Hope I didn't miss out on something. Happy Friday!
Friday Fill Ins #162
2. I am usually at home lately. Thanks to 76 days of maternity leave. Yay!
3. The snow is something I would love to see someday.
4. I am gregarious in nature.
5. It’s 5:16 PM; that means I should start researching on hgh releasers as I have a nine o'clock deadline.
6. A good househelp is hard to find these days.
7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to getting a better, fuller and longer sleep than last night, tomorrow my plans include bringing the little boy out for his morning sunlight and Sunday, I want to just lie down, relax and rest!

time to buy gold bullion
Thank heavens it's over! Just got off the phone with a former colleague from my first job and we were catching up on a lot of things. We have lost communication since 2001 and it's only today that we got hold of each other. Glad to know that she is now based in the US with her family and she is currently thinking of some good business to augment their earnings. I suggested that she should start thinking of really solid investments that are available. Told her that it's time to buy gold bullion. She thought of it as a brilliant idea and as I write this, she is probably researching on the pros and cons of this investment and what it can bring to her and her family's future, finance-wise. Goodluck M!

lcd tv
We will be celebrating our 5th year as husband and wife in a month's time. And we have decided that since I recently gave birth, instead of going out of town this year, we will just purchase a new LCD TV with one of the best tv stands as our anniversary gift for each other. I reckon it is more practical at this time since we can't leave our newborn just yet.
what keeps me busy
Finally gave birth to a bouncing baby boy last week. It was trully an unforgettable experience once again. I can still remember every instance from the time I woke up that beautiful Sunday morning to the time they wheeled me in the OR until I was transferred from the Recovery room to my own room. They were all very pleasant memories and I love rewinding them in my mind.
I am in the process of making an online album for my newborn and I hope to finish the first set as soon as I am done reading up on treatments for rheumatoid arthritis. After I gave birth, I became more conscious of the different ailments and their corresponding treatments that I am now addicted to reading up on them when I have the time. You must try it. It's very educational.
