Waiting for the Stork



The stork is coming on September. This is an unexpected pregnancy. I turned 43 years old this April and I often ask my OB every visit if there will be no complications with my pregnancy at this late stage. My doctor assured me that everything will be alright, this is my third child so it's not new anymore . It would be a lot difficult if this is the first one.

My first trimester was terrible. I didn't throw up. I didn;t during my last pregnancies. But this time, I experienced an everyday nausea, felt uncomfortable everytime I take food, and I feel a bit heavy. I always tell Fer that my last two pregnancies were better compared to this. He said, we always thought that the past is always better, but there's no difference, the present is also better.

As far as I remember, I always crave for fruits. Well until now, fruit is always an option. Pineapple juice made me really happy and pansit never failed to upset me. If there is one thing I really love this pregnancy, friends and some relatives sends me food, from pizza to buko pie, to nuts and fruits. I feel loved and cared for by the people who send their love through food and other things.

I will be seeing this little creature who kicks a lot and moves a lot inside my tummy. This little human being who thinks that my bladder is a trampoline and my ribs is a monkey bar. My girls are hoping for another girl. They thought having a boy in the family could be tough and rowdy, so their best option not to lose their peace while playing is to have another girl.

The two girls are hooked up with taking care and playing with the neighbor's kittens. A cat, named Minggay (Gaby named her that) gave birth to several cute kittens. They sometimes borrow it from Minggay, put it in a box, fed it with milk, gave them a ball of brown yarn and a green ball, and the two girls already are happy with their new found borrowed pets.


In just a few months the two girls will surely forget their borrowed kittens, they will be very excited to take care of this little human. I am also excited to see the new member of the family.

Just praying for a healthy baby and a safe and normal delivery.

The Raya School Naga's Pagtatapos 2016

Image
I was able to attend the graduation rites "Pagtatapos" of The Raya School in Naga City.  I accompanied my favorite Kumadres, Ms.Bernadette de Los Santo, the guest speaker of the moving up event.  How cute! White jacket instead of toga with Ms. Rica Buenaflor and Ms. B. It's not the usual graduation rites with processional and toga and stiff ceremonies. It was cool, relaxed, but one of the most meaningful and sentimental graduation rites of prep and kindergarten I'd ever been.   Fashion show featuring abaca products A super cute song number The kids had fun singing, dancing, reading and  strutting their abaca stuff. I guess it's their final thesis. They gave us all their perception on how they learned things in Raya through poetry and music and their videos on field trips and school presentations and their entrepreneurial skills!  During their pagtatapos they presented different products of abaca, its uses and even recited a poem....

Poisoned with Love | Poison Cauldron Library Cafe in Daraga, Albay

From the moment I found the place under the searing heat of the sun, it sends  off automatically a deja vu chills! It's as if there's someone who whispered to me to look right and indeed, I'm on the right spot! I found Poison Cauldron, an old house with big pink open windows, and big trees around the house.  There's that certain smell of old houses and even the old books. It brought some joyful shivers in my spine. and I told myself, I am home. Old houses always struck me as interesting. Mainly, because I also live in a Pre-Spanish era house. Secondly, my Mom and I are paranormal lovers. We like the world of the unknown, ghosts, ghouls, lost souls, aliens and crystals and spaceships  (Well, off topic! This will be another post in my blog). Here is my Top Five Reasons Why Poison Cauldron Library Cafe   is worth your visit! 1. Books!      Lots of it. If you're a book worm, this place is your sanctuary. There's a variety of books from romanc...

Learning to breathe again

Obviously, yes,  every part of my body is aching tonight. Most especially my wrists and my arms. I am not young anymore. I am not that flexible as before. I cannot reach my toes, I cannot lift or twist my body like I used to do, but surprisingly, I still can lift my butt with that certain yoga position, i can do the child's post and keep my balance but definitely, not that locust position. That one in the picture you're looking at, that's after my very first basic yoga class. I asked my yoga teacher to take a photo of me for this blog and as souvenir. A photo that would remind me that I was able to survive my first yoga class. I was able to keep up with the rest of my yoga classmates. I scrambled while following the  instructions of the yoga teacher who can do all the positions with ease, with impeccable balance, with great stamina. What do you expect from a tired Mom? lols!  I work. I am a very busy woman. My body and mind are both working, besides this, I try ...
