Who Do You Turn To?

When things go wrong, who do you turn to? Many people tend to just keep it to themselves. I don’t…

Either I tell my best friend / close friends, my husband and the last my parents. It’s not that I’m counting them out, but they are now old to absorb my “hang ups”. I just don’t want them to get worried. But I would say I am lucky to have them. I can easily open up to them.

My husband is my friend too! We drink together (those days were the best!). He’s the kind of guy that who would not say NO! Sometimes I feel he doesn’t care at all LOL! He is most of the time my absorber. Mwah!

The best of all is my bestfriend Chel, she is a good-patient listener. She makes me laugh even when I’m about to lose my temper. Oh! I miss her! Hope we could get together one day, again, like old times!

What ’bout you? When things go wrong, who do you turn to?

"Coke" Monster/s

You’ve read it right! It’s Coke and not cookie heehee! I’d say me and my daughter are both “Coke” monsters!

I know! I know! She’s too young for this…. but… she loves it! How can I say NO when I, myself is an addict? :-( Oooops! Let me clear it Coke as in Coca-Cola softdrink, at di yung isang Coke hehehe! Baka ma-163 ako nito hehe! Mabuti na ang malinaw!

Pero masama nga ba kung bata pa?

Babysitting Issues

We are soon moving to another flat. The problem is kelangan na naman ng bagong baby sitter. A baby sitter comes to our house in the morning, and dahil malapit lang sya sa amin, walking distance lang. Medyo malayo ng konti from her house yung lilipatan namin kaya imposible, otherwise we have to shoulder her transportation which is not practical.

Kaya eto, ang dilemma ko… paano kung ayaw ni Deye sa bago? Mas maganda nga yung bagong environment kasi may mga bata sa building, pero adjustment na naman sa bata.

Hay buhay ng working nanay!

Things We (Both) Can’t Live Without

Lahat yata ng tao may fondness sa isang bagay, even the newborn babies. Here it goes…

She was crying this morning. Just bcoz of one thing, her “bo” (I simplified it from the word “baho”, kasi nga ambaho na ayaw nya bibitawan hehehe, and she got used to that name na).

>>> This foto was taken when she was just around 4 months. We noticed na kahit anong unan ang ilagay namin, yan ang pilit nyang inaabot at niyayakap.

Back to this morning’s tantrums, she was crying kasi nilabhan namin. And she saw her dada putting it in the machine. If you’ll see its state, ewww hahaha! You know the smell of the spilled dried milk, ganun maasim-asim. Hahaha! She would carry her bo around the house, as in parang celfone na di malayo-layo sa kanya kung icocompare sa mga mobile addicts. :p

Can’t blame her. Namana nya ata sa akin yan. I had this fave blanket and pillow case when I was still small. Ayoko kasi ng makinis na surface like tiled floors. So my dad bought me a blanket na pwede kong apakan everytime na nasa sala ako. If I’m not mistaken they named it “pugad” kasi daw para akong ibon na laging nasa pugad at naglilimlim hahaha! Sad to say di ito umabot ng buhay bago ko ma-reach ang adolescence stage, bumigay at nagkapunit-punit hehehe! But this pillowcase? Naku! Nadala ko pa yun sa boarding house when I went to college. At syempre nasermunan ako ng mother ko. Di na daw ako nahiya, gula-gulanit na dinala ko pa. Di kasi ako makatulog kung di yun ang punda ng extra pillow ko.

Kaya naman di ko masisi si Derelle sa “kabaliwan” nya sa pillow nya.

Oh well! Blame it on our pillows hahaha!

Lampayatot

Inspired by Lady Cess.

I just read Lady Cess’ post on “Legacy”. It reminded me of my childhood. Just like her, payatot na ako nung bata pa. Kung anu ano na atang vitamins ang pinainom sa akin and yet walang effect.

Madaming tales na pag nagmenstruate na yan, tataba na yan. Or some would say, paputulan niyo kasi ng buhok, sa buhok na ata napupunta ang bitamina. At kung susundin nila siguro yun, baka nakalbo na ako hahaha!

Sa sobrang hopeless ng parents ko they even supplied me with 2 pcs of balot and Sterilized Milkmaid (yun nga ba yun?) everyday. As in everyday! Nauta na lang ako’t lahat di pa din ako tumaba hehehe!

I remember my classmates would bully me and say “lampayatot” daw ako. Dati pa nga, I was passing by the classroom aisle and asked one of my classmates to move his chair a little as it was blocking the way. He was so mean and told me, “sus, kasya ka naman dyan eh kahit hindi iusog”.

Dati, I feel so bad hearing those things… But now I see it as an advantage after giving birth. Lahat na ng friends ko nagtabaan after delivery, pero ako sexy pa din hahahaha! Correction, sumexy pala. Kasi yung dating payatot nagkalaman na. O di va? :p
