some life's update

hello - i'm back, been too busy with the year end work, can't find time to blog, but i'm always reading other's blog, mabilis nga lang.

baby bear - she was crowned champion in her science quizbee division - super proud talaga ako sa anak ko, (uhmm, stage mom na naman) i was never like that when i was her age, sobrang mahiyain ako nun. baby bear is "mini me" in some other aspects, pero i think she's much better pagdating sa academic. she has achieved a lot...

justin - his pedia said he's quite advance, he can roll over with out any support. nag-improve na rin sleeping habits, i can say he's a happy baby, mukhang matalino rin kasi observant siya sa mga bagay bagay sa paligid niya. he also likes reading time, quiet talaga mukhang interested siya sa mga books. when someone is talking, titingin siya, when you call his name, he will look at you and smiles, hai, nakakawala ng pagod. may mga baby talks na rin siya, minsan nga ang dinig ko first word niya "ate".

on my work - feeling ko ngayon, contractual na lang ako, kasi nga i'm counting days, mga 3 months na lang, i will be leaving na this company whom i loved so dearly. dami kong magagandang experiences dito. life will be hard next year, daming jobless at mahirap din maghanap ng work. i will be a fulltime homemaker muna for a while until i get the job.

well that's it folks, i'm not done yet with the shopping list, ang hirap makipagsiksikan sa malls, hopefully i could finish the malling by next week.

parties parties parties... kakapagod last Christmas na kasi namin dito sa company so sunod sunod ang mga party.

Justin's Christening

finally, nabinyagan din si Justin, after series of re-bookings due to seminar requirements by our parish in laguna, nahirapan kasi kami sa availability ng godparents.

justin has been very quiet the whole ceremony, walang tantrums and wailing, everything went well, good job anak! pati sa reception super behave ng anak ko.

Some details:

Date : November 16, 2008

Sta Rosa de Lima Parish

Reception at King Bee Restaurant (Chines Resto)

baby bear made it again

tadah... baby bear made it again, she remains 3rd placer for the 2nd quarter, although her grades are a little bit high as compare with the 1st period. we are happy with the result.

today is their interdisciplinary contest for the 2nd grading - science quizbee at public speaking contest daw siya kasali, ang galing ng anak ko (siyempre anak ko ito eh! he he he) kahapon, panay ang practice namin, ok naman mukhang me pag-asang manalo. sana nga manalo kasi motivation niya yun sa sarili. sabi ko nga anak, sali lang sali, ok lang matalo, it's part of learning, ang importante you were chosen as one of the contestants, hindi lahat me opportunity na tulad ng sa kanya. hers is a big school, 5 sections ata ang grade 1, then average of 30 students per section, so malaki ang crowd.

here are her honor cards so far...

6 months to go...

yesterday, i had my serious 1:1 with my boss, it was a life changing decision that we both have to make. finally, the long wait is over - we had the verdict - cv is closing very soon. the global financial crisis has impacted the company's decision to execute closure plan - with that it has also impacted our personal lives. i will be leaving this company together with the remaining materials employees in q1'09, we had an option to take early release in february or complete the 90 days period beginning january, hence my LDO is end of april '09. i took the latter, for the reason that i still have to complete the projects i am currently engaged in, and of course to savor our remaining days in the building.

i have spent more than half of my professional life here - it was indeed a very sad conversation with my boss, (btw, he's an american and currently relo assigned in shanghai) he felt for all cv folks. the release was divided in 4 phases (phase 1 - cpu folks, phase 2 will be the ssg including materials, phase 3 will be hr and last phase will be the finance group)

i had my share of good and bad times here, more of a good times since this is really a great place to work. it had opened a lot of good opportunities for me to become a person i am right now. i will surely miss my counterparts in other sites, my cubicle, my notebook, the many places i'd been to, the teambuildings, trainings, airports hassles, the pressures, the focal period, the recognition and most of all the culture, hai my list is endless....ngayon pa lang na mi-miss ko na ito, nagiging senti ako hu hu hu...

i know life must go on ... i don't have plans yet to find another job for now, maybe i'll concentrate on being a homemaker for a while, this is my long dream career anyway, but i'm sure eventually, i'll find my place in a corporate world again.

some life's update

thank God - results of my mammogram screening and breast ultarsound were all negative. God is so good! again, thanks to all my blogging friends who's silently praying for me. it helped me a lot - salamat po.

am back to work again, "business as usual" while waiting for CV decision to come out. with the new baby, we had changed of plans, taking offshore assignment in my company is no longer an option, we will rather stay here, get the package and start a new.

i felt sad when i made the decision, i had invested 10 years of my life here, but nonetheless i'm happy that finally, i will be a homemaker soon - 6 to 9 months from now.

beginner's LO's

i'd been to scrapbooking during those low lights of my life, i found this hobby theraputic, nakakaalis ng stress. those few times that i'm doing scrapbooking and thinking about the style, gumagaan lahat ng dinadala ko sa dibdib ko.

i've had here two 1st LO's i did for Justin's baby book, so far I did 5 LO's na, once i uploaded the other 3, i'll post it here.

outstanding pupil

bumalik ang pagiging stage mom ko, tagal ko ng gustong i-post itong result ng 1st grading period ni baby bear - i'm proud to say she's doing great in school. she ranks 4th in their class, actually, 3rd yan kasi tie sila nung 3rd placer. sa over-all section ng grade 1 she ranks 8th. it seems this 2nd quarter she's doing even better, kasi she already got 3 perfect exams out of 7 subjects in her monthly test, we are just waiting for the quartely test which will be held 3rd week of oct. we promised her sg tour at the end of school year, pag na maintain niya na nasa honor list siya. mukhang she's enjoying her classes naman, sana nga magtuloy tuloy ang good studying habit ng anak ko. i spent lesser time na sa pag rereview sa kanya kasi me baby brother na siya na mas kailangan ng attention ko.

we are proud of you anak!

whew! i'd been through a lot

i must apologize that I have not been very good at keeping my blog up to date for the last while. our baby boy, Justin Joseph, arrived safe and sound on July 5th (yes, it was 3 months ago!) and life has never been the same since.

having two kids is rather chaotic but also the greatest JOY, though i've been through a lot due to post partum blues (suffered level 2 depression). my emotions has been a roller coaster ride after i gave birth, maybe because i was too hard on myself, felt too tired and too weak to take care of my family. the lack of sleep and my son's frequent crying at night eats up my energy - ganon ata pag preemie, "attention seeker" crying as if there's no tomorrow, plus the fact that we don't have a nanny nor a helper at home.

my birthday wish was to have one nanny that will take care and love my kids the way i do, ito na ata ang pinakamahirap na hanapin sa panahon ngayon - but i'm sure our Good Lord will help me find one. dumagdag pa yung sister ko sa problema ko, biglang naisipan na mag-abroad, kahit na masyadong risky yung decision niya, i can't stop her from pursuing...

recently, i've noticed a lump on my breast, so i had to undergo mammogram screening and breast ultrasound last oct 7 - hopefully result will be negative, yet to be discuss to me this coming sat. i'm hoping and praying that this too shall pass, sunod sunod ang pinagdaanan ko - sana matapos na po.

to all my closest friends and blogging amigas, am asking again for your prayers - sana everything will be fine. pasensya na po at palagi akong humihingi ng favor sa inyo.

God bless us all!

our pride and joy

hello - i gave birth last july 5, been a roller coaster ride this past 2 weeks since i delivered prematurely about 3-4 weeks earlier on my EDD due to pre term labor and bleeding i was rushed to the hospital 12:30 midnight of july 5 and set to operating table by 6am, Justin Joseph was born 7:45am on july 5 but needs to be left to the hospital for a week due to blood infection and jaundice. Thank God he is now healthy, he measure 8.4lbs and 54cm.

take a look on our 2 siblings - our pride and joy.

I'd like to thank everyone who had supported me thru prayers to help me thru this ordeal. we are all very happy that God had answered all our prayers and provided our financial needs. To God be the Glory! Amen.

we are expecting a baby boy in july

hello - i'm back, it has been more than a month that i wasn't able to update my blog. been busy with a lot of stuff, personal and work. we are happy to inform everyone that we are expecting a baby boy this coming july. we are excited to see him - we will name him justin nigel, pero yung nigel mukhang papalitan pa namin, any suggestion?

to all my blogging friends, i need your prayers again for my safe delivery, i might be 2-3 weeks early on my due date because the baby is too big as per my OB, could be july 10 or july 18 instead of july 28. sana safe kami pareho ni baby.

bakit kaya ganon, kung kelan malapit na, saka naman ako natatakot, this is my 2nd time, akala ko, sanay na ako, but the fear is just like the first time. ahhh, sana ma overcome ko ang fear na ito...

thanks to all who's silently praying for me and justin, di biro ang pinagdaanan kong 8 months, ok naman ang pregnancy trimesters ko pero yung blood sugar monitoring at insulin injection ang pinakamahirap - anyway matatapos na rin, back to oral medication after i gave birth.

Lord, thanks so much for taking care of me and my baby, again, i'm asking for Your Divine Mercy, to help me through with the delivery, please give us Your protection - that we will both be safe and sound. all these i prayed in Jesus name. Amen!

happy Mother's day to all

i'm back, did hybernate for a while to recover, here i come, back to blogging world, i'm in good shape - thanks for the peole who prayed for me, lab test results were all negative, i just need some rest siguro - tinuruan lang ako how to live one day at a time.

happy Mother's day to all mother's in the world, being a mom is a word in action - we are here to protect our kids, take care of the family, share love and keep the family together.

i'm back to my usual self, i'm now here in Penang, attending some impt meetings for cv closure, my tummy is really showing now, i'm happy that my baby inside is now kicking so often and hard, i know he/she is healthy. haven't had ultrasound yet, my ob advise to have it done at 28 weeks to measure the baby, to assess whether i could have normal delivery this time. (i hope i will)

thank you Lord for all the people who prayed for me, thanks for giving back my good health, for always taking care of us - please continue to Bless us and keep us safe from any harm or illnessess. these i prayed in Jesus name. Amen!

am i dying???

am i dying??? this was the question occured to me when i was rushed to hospital last april 21, we were supposed to go to sss to file my maternity benefit but i suddenly felt shortness of breathing. at the hospital, i was diagnosed to have swollen veins in my ribs, i dunno the terminology but that was my understanding from the doctor when he's talking to papa bear. while i was in pain and had to wear oxygen mask i saw baby bear trying to reach my hand and gave me some comfort, my heart was really beating fast, i'm hanging on for my dear life. i'm not yet ready to die - kawawa naman si baby bear, more so the little peanuts inside my tummy, i know she/he's in pain too.

i'm crying silently, praying that God would spare my life, i saw from my side that baby bear is praying too, di ko pa kayang mawala. doctor still need to do some series of test with me, but unfortunately, there are limited medicines that i could take. buti na lang after 3 hours or so, medyo umayos na ang hinga ko, until now, i still feel that my ribs are still swollen. di ko lam how did it happen. still feeling occasional breathing difficulties.

my blood sugar is controlled, my peak reading is at 140 and i could be as low as 80, my ecg result is also fine, until now di pa rin malinaw sa akin kung ano ba talaga sakit ko. sana lang wag na lumala, i need to be healthy for my family esp for the baby in my tummy, she/he is still young 26 weeks old.

on saturday, i will undergo series of blood test and 4d ultrasound to check my baby's condition, malalaman na rin namin ang gender, i hope all is well for us.

to all my blogging friends and those who are reading my blog, please pray for my health and the baby. May the good Lord bless our lives. salamat sa prayers.

april 2 announcement

the place where i invest 10 years of my time is closing soon - the announcement made last april 2 by the corporate management has brought mixed emotion to the employees - some were happy, others were sad. happy in a way that our stay here no matter how long and short will be well compensated. the incentive package is very attractive, enough to start a new beginning.

i was a girl when i joined this company, became a woman, now a mother - i too, have mixed emotion, i'm sad because i truly loved this company, i've gained so much knowledge, been to a lot of places and able to meet people in different races - 10 years of stay is still short for me, i want to stay longer. i've been receiving offers to other sites, but i'm still not decided yet -have to balance between my family's welfare and my career. other sites, esp asian sites will radically change our lives, the culture and the language barriers that we need to overcome. i'm praying that we will be transferred to a more westernized site wherein we only need little adjustment except for the seasons. i'm leaving it all to our Heavenly Father - may Thy will be done.

i'm sad too that phil govt has made no action to further hold presence of this company in the country - this will add on to the numbers of jobless individual in the phils, not just former employees but our suppliers as well, they too need to reduce headcounts to balance the operating cost. most of our local suppliers relied 40% of their business to our company. this will definitely contribute to the poverty line of our population. if only i could do something...

free fruits and drinks at the c cafeterias

beginning april cafeterias here from c2 to c7 are free, whereas free fruits are still flowing at all lobbies. sarap sana dito, kaso lang i miss my family so much, lalo na si baby bear, she's counting the day when i will be back.

di na makuha sa shopping ang boredom ko, kahit na ang black angus steak di kayang pawiin ang lungkot ko dito - i wanna be back home soon...

i will surely miss tjmax, nordstorm, ross, costco, frys, walmart and in and out burger, pati na rin ang sees candies sa fashion center, pero walang tatalo sa pag ka miss ko sa mag-ama ko. this is an eye opener for me na, i could never be an ofw, ang hirap pala.

my nephews graduation day

i almost forgot yesterday was my nephews graduation day, finally high school na siya next school year. ang tagal ko na palang pinapaaral si pat, 6 years sa elementary grades at 2 years sa pre-school, 8-9 years pa para mapatapos ko sa college, hay, this is my life. i'm willingly happy to help them. kaya siguro the Lord is giving me a good job and career to support my extended family.

good thing that papa bear is supportive of me on helping them, siya pa nga nag provide ng konting handa for pat kahapon as per his email. mukhang fiesta sa bahay kahapon, sayang i miss the fun.

i'm wishing that he can finish college and support his sibling as well, right now pareho ko silang pinapaaral, ok lang makakatapos din sila. i'm fullfilled whenever i can help.

dinner at dooby's grill cafe

last night was a blast! we had a middle eastern mediterranean dinner at dooby's grill cafe, where we feast on meat kebabs, choices of beef, chicken and lamb and some salad and dips that are new to me, like tahini dip, baba ghannouj dip etc.... interesting part of it when after an hour of chikahan and tawanan, our big bosses pala is cooking something fishy for us esp for men.

we were all shocked to see the belly dancer on her sexy outfit dancing on top of our table, kaya pala biglang naging dim ang mga lights, grabe, 1st time ko makakita ng ganon, in flesh! and what can you expect ang mga boys, (btw, my counterparts are mostly men - 3 lang kaming female sa team) halos lumuwa ang mga mata. my boss gave us 5 one dollar each para ilagay sa bra nung belly dancer - she's mexican at masyadong game. pati nga yung counterpart ko from kulim na vegetarian, hirap kami lagi hanapan ng resto na bagay sa kanya eh nakisali rin sa gulo, we were all shouting to him na, hey that's meat, he said back - i'm after the pleasure not the flesh ha ha ha!

the dance was quite decent though sensual - pero sabi nga its an art. hai, those are just one of the happpy moments here in chandler. i'll post pix once i'm done with my stuff.

flight to phoenix

now that i have taken enough sleep last night, i'm in the mood to blog about my long and tiring flight last week.

due to cost cutting measures, my travel agent resorted to book me economy flight from manila to phoenix via cathay pacific and us airways. i have 3 connecting flights, it took me more than 19 hours to reach chandler.

my firts connecting flight was via hk - departing manila at 11am, waiting time at hk airport is quite long 3 hours that was i thought, but never did i know that from the terminal where i was landed i still have to go through series of strict inspection and a train ride before i could finally reach the terminal to where i'm boarding my connecting flight to los angeles (lax). flight is long haul from hk to la - approx 12.5 hours, food is quite good but i've never taken any sleep as the plane is full and i'm seating at the middle, where i need to be disturbed when the person on my right near the window needs to go to cr (hai, it was very tring) and i felt dehydrated as well.

when we were finally landed in LA, waiting hours of connecting flight to phoenix is 2hours, but entering to LA is much harder than in hk. i need to ride a shuttle bus to transfer to immigration area where my finger prints and photo will be scanned, likewise my luggage should be check-out from cathay and check in again at us airways, the inspection is twice as hard in hk, i need to open my luggage in front of the custom official, likewise my handcarried bags and my cooler (where my insulins were kept) need to explain that i am a diabetic person and showed my certification of bringing syringes and lancet with me. after that i need to ride a shuttle again to transfer to domestic airport for my connecting flight. boarding process is also confusing as it is self service, my confirmation code is not valid so i resorted to ask help from the check in counter, then proceed again for a series of inspection at gate 8. due to long process, i almost missed my connecting flight, final call for boarding was already announced while i'm still at gate 8 inspection area. whew! that was hard, i need to walk as fast as i can to catch the plane.

that was unforgettable! after the hard time i must enjoy my stay here...

i'm quite adjusted

finally, i've had a good sleep last night, when i arrived hotel at 4pm, i took a nap until 7pm, i'm supposed to attend a team building at fiddlestick tempe but i was totally exhausted and having a terrible headache so i requested jeff to drop me back at springhill suites before they proceed to tempe. i had a sumptous dinner at shabu fondue near my hotel and window shop at circuit city after.

i think, my body clock is quite adjusted in the us timezone, i'm feeling better now and happy that i somewhat had taken full rest last night.

i'm having a good time today - later we will have karaoke dinner at dooby's grill cafe, my first team building dinner was held at buca di beppo (italian resto) near elliot.

i'm beginning to like the place though...

it finally hit me

yesterday i was feeling melancholic and ended up the day figuring out why. i called back home thrice and cried after i talked to papa bear. i missed my family so much, i don't know what happen to me, homesickness has strucked me because i was too far from them. i was never like this when i'm on biz trip, it could be the place where i am in right now. chandler is a very quiet place, malls are closing as early as 8pm, wala tuloy akong mapaglibangan dito. shopping is the only way out to release my boredom. sana matagalan ko dito.

vegas trip

been to las vegas last saturday - it was cool though too tiring as it was 6 hours long drive from phoenix. (12 hours 2 way drive) place is quite messy (gamblers & drinkers) are everywhere, but it was really cool.

we have visited treasure island, bellagio, eiffel tower, ceazar's palace and flamingo - it was worth the trip!

will be posting some pix once i'm done uploading.

jet lag

it's been a week since i arrived here in phoenix but still can't have a good sleep. i have been trying to be really tired the whole day by shopping around, but sleep is still out of my way...

today is my 1st day at work (chandler 7) - hope i will not feel sleepy the whole day (my boss is here - i should not be caught sleeping...)

i missed my family back home....

baby bear's graduation day

march 16 was baby bear's graduation day - as usual stage parents kami ni papa bear, siya in charge sa video coverage ako naman sa camera. everything went well, except when baby bear repeated some lines on her opening prayer, ako ang kinabahan, pero poise pa rin ang bata, natapos naman ng maayos ang prayer niya. super proud mom ako while watching her on the stage. (choir member din, mana sa daddy niya)

we are still in the decision making process if she will continue her studies in that school;she will be in grade 1 this june, or she will enroll in IS Pudong, i have yet to know if they will still accept enrollee in may since the classes already started last january. (this adds up to our dilemma)

everything will be answered once i got back from my US trip as the hr there will discuss to me ftf all the packages on my one way transfer - am still negotiating if we can use relocation term as project base rather than one way transfer. benefits from relo is much higher than the latter.

May the Good Lord guide us with the right decision. Amen!

all is set for my biz trip

finally, i got my passport today, together with papa bear's and baby bear's passports. new brown phil passport has a significant improvement than the green ones, name and picture appears on the 2nd page and it's laminated and colored (pinaghalong japan & us visa ang itsura) class na ang dating, unlike before na handwritten lahat ng information.

later today, will do some last minute shopping (pasalubong to my friends in chandler). am looking forward to a safe trip and memorable vacation in vegas. excited na ako.

us trip

all is set for my biz trip next week, except for my passport (ngek) bakit kasi last Feb ko lang naisipan na i renew, little did i know na ako pala ang rep for our ftf in chandler. anyhow, pina pa work out ko sa agency namin to expedite the passport release. excited ako to shop, mababa dollar conversion ngayon. my friend is also inviting me to spend holy week at vegas, dapat sa baguio kami nila papa bear at baby bear, na cancel tuloy, di bale pagbalik ko na lang babawi ako sa mag-ama.

ma-mi-miss ko uli sila, halos every quarter me trip ako di pa ako nasanay - everytime magpapaalam ako kay baby bear, dami kong suhol para payagan ako at di mahirapan ang paalaman sa airport.

ok, until next week - will blog about my vegas trip - 1st time ko dun.

thank You Lord

words are not enough to describe how happy i am, thank You Lord for all the blessings you have given me, i know i can't thank You enough!

God is so good!

singapore team got it

i'm quite disappointed the way the race has ended last night, it could have been a sure win for marc and rovilson if only not for the last one roadblock - (rovilson got a hard time figuring out the correct flag on the countries they raced) but still congratulating team singapore for doing a great job.

team philippines will forever be winners in my heart because of the sportmanship they have shown on the entire race especially last night's episode that they came last but still showing great appreciation on adrian and collin who has won the race. marc and rovilson make season 2 very exciting and amazing - you never had any emotional rages whenever one has committed mistake, instead you kicked each other's butt in a funny and non offensive ways - you made us filipinos proud of you - yan ang "galing ng pinoy" kudos!

tara2 finals tonight

today is V-day but i'm more excited (kasi everyday is vday naman sa amin ni papa bear) to watch the last episode of the amazing race asia2, i'm rooting for team phils to win - go marc and rovilson, make all filipinos proud of you - you deserve it, 8 times to be first on the pit stop, 3 times for the 2nd place, this is history, no one in the amazing race history has got this stand. isn't it amazing?

awards

i've got these awards from my blogging friend ela (nel's bebi) - thanks ela, sorry medyo late ata ang reaction ko he he he - now ko lang kasi na realized na dapat i cut and paste ko yung awards and share to my fellow bloggers (slow ang IQ ko ngayon -ha ha ha)

now, i'm sharing these to my old dear friends - lit coo and caren

shield of protection

today is ash wednesday, i was with my two friends and we decided to have our lunch at KFC mangahan before we proceed to partake the afternoon mass at St. Guadalupe Church near our office gate 2. on our way to the church, i had a minor accident - alanganin kasi yung pag stop nung car ng friend ko, she has an urgent call to attend the meeting, so she just drop us near the gate, anna alighted first, i was at the back kasi at naka child lock yung door, so i need anna to open the door for me, my friend who's driving thought that i was already out of the car - bigla na lang siyang umandar, nakaladkad niya ako a few steps lang naman, pero sabi nung mga nakakita mga 15 seconds din akong nakaladkad, God is so good to me, i can feel that I'm protected, i wasn't hurt, not even a single bruise - worried sila lahat sa akin, wala tuloy sa mass ang attention nila, nsa akin. Thank You Lord, you keep me from harm, wala PO akong naramdaman kahit na anong pain. naalala ko tuloy yung mga sinulat ko sa petition ko sa pink sisters sa tagaytay nung Sunday, one of my prayer is to always keep us safe, provide us His shield of protection.

God is working in wonderful ways, i really felt i'm so much blessed today, HE spare me and my baby from this accident. I can't thank You enough, so i will pay it forward, i will forever be grateful and will continuously share all my blessings with others.

happy birthday papa bear

today is papa bear b-day, he just turned 36, we're busy for the small salo-salo preps, i'll post once we're done. i'm wishing papa bear more bdays to come, good health and more fruitful years of togetherness. God bless our family always.

we love you! muahh.....

m entries b1/b2 visa for 10 years

finally, the waiting is over, God is so great to me that He made my visa application process run flawlessly, even the consul is very friendly, i never had a hard time - starting from filling up the forms, long queing at gate 3, long wait at the embassy pavillion, queing again at finger print scanning until i reached the interview portion - everything run so smoothly. yesterday, i received the good news, i was granted 10 years multiple entry - wow!

next step is to schedule my transition meeting with US counterparts (this will be four weeks of stay in uncle sam's land)

blessings are really coming in, i was so touched on how God is working on these plans - our next step after my biz trip is to apply for china immigrant visa - hopefully all of the offers will compensate the adjustment we have to make (a life changing decision indeed!)

Lord thanks so much for all the blessings you have given me, though sometimes I don't deserve all of these things, you are a Merciful God - you always showered me with all the good stuff life has to offer, I prayed that You may give us guidance to make the right decision, to always be greatful for all the worderfull things You have given us, made us a sharer of God's love, share our blessings with others and to continue to lead the right path. All of these i prayed, in Jesus name Amen!

holiday entry

really wanted to blog this entry before the year ends - but i'm too indulge with my holiday rest so i didn't find time to write.

dec 21 - Friday
i spent the whole day in the office - little did i know that i'll be confined at asian hospital after office hour due to uti and amoebiasis. papa bear missed his Christmas party because of me. (really sory) i'm thankful that despite of being dehydrated, my baby inside remains healthy - thanks to 4D ultrasound, we were able to have a glance of him/her.

dec 25 - Christmas day
still recuperating, we just spent the day in MOA science center, a holiday treat for baby bear. it was her first time to see the planetarium

jan 1 - New year's day

spent the whole day in my SIL house in marikina - we were able to go around river bank and had the chance to see some spectacular exhibits - transformers, superman, batman, shriek, etc.... di ko na natandaan yung iba sa dami. went to grotto and spent the evening at river bank and feast on the fresh grilled sea food sold at river side. what a great new year to start - reconciling with my SIL, felt refreshed and renewed. sometime last year, we had misunderstanding on some matter, it's good that we start the new year right, visit them and share our blessings.

2007 year ender entry - a year that was!

2007 was the best year for me - countless blessings on my career and personal life. we had acquired our new car, new house, lot's of biz travels, great family, new work opportunities, and to top it all we will have a new member of the family. wow! God is so GREAT to us! I'm looking forward for another best year this 2008 -everything has started smoothly - countless blessings are still pouring in. Thank you Lord for all the wonderful blessings that are coming my way.
