It was cravings week last week. Well, for me, that is. I was craving for a lot of something sweet or something salty. And I was able to satisfy those cravings when I went home to my little Z over the weekend. Whoppeee! I left the office at around 1 AM on a Saturday and was hoping to be able to get a 1:30AM trip home. When I got to the bus terminal, there was a long line of chance passengers. There was nothing special happening over the weekend, to say the least, so I was wondering why there were […]
Missing Little Z…
It’s already Friday dawn on this side of the world. I should be getting some sleep since I still have to work later today before I take another long commute home to my little boy. It’s been just 4 days (well, not counting today yet) since I last saw little Z but I do miss him terribly. I was able to see him online a couple of days ago, though. But then again, who am I kidding, right? Seeing your little boy on the screen and seeing him and actually able to hold him, hug him and kiss him are […]
Down With The Sickness
…Get up, come on get down with the sickness… Well, that’s how the song goes but I am not writing about Disturb’s Down with the Sickness song. Trust me, if you don’t know that song, you’d rather not know about it. Especially if you have, say, a more sensitive side, for the lack of better term. Anyway, this is a long overdue post, really, so it may be a tad bit longer than usual. I already had this title for a while now because of the song. I like the heavy beat of the song, bottom line.Ā But like I said, […]
Of “Love” and Self-Preservation…
As much as possible, I would like to keep this blog strictly about my journey into motherhood. However, I guess this is one topic that I just couldn’t help but write about. You see, I don’t want to post my opinions about love and relationship because for one, I am a commitment-phobic person and really, I am no expert about this topic (but I have lots of opinions about it š ) Anyway, I have this friend who is currently going through rough times with her partner. The thing is, the issues they have been fighting aboutĀ every single timeĀ are the […]
Good Friday Indeed…
So, I arrived in the mountain city earlier tonight, around quarter to eight. It was actually surprising that the usual 6.5 hours commute became 5.5 hours travel from the big metro. I guess you can chalk it up to lesser people on the roads to cause heavy traffic jams (since most of them have already gone home earlier in the week), and the one way lanes already opened up to ease up the traffic. Well, except in the big metro, I guess, since the road re-blocking has started yesterday . And my little boy was so happy to see me. […]
Holy Week Weekend…
It is the Holy Week again. I cannot even remember the last time I went home for the Holy Week. Reason for this is because there are a lot of people (and when I say a lot, I really mean A LOT) travelling back to their provinces to spend time with families, go on vacations and the likes. Just imagine the traffic jams along major highways. A normal 6.5 hours commute from the big metro to Baguio can take as long as 7-8 hours because of traffic jams and long chance passenger queues at the bus stations. I have decided […]
Thank you for coming :-)
Since I have already posted my suppliers review (and basically covered the whole event in that post), I’m writing this post to acknowledge and thank everyone who made little Z’s event a memorable one. Given that the date selected is just prior to the holy week (and we all know that people have already scheduled their holy week for family outings and the likes), there were quite a few people who didn’t make it to the event. Nonetheless, I would like to thank them especially to my friends who offered to become godparents to my little warrior even before I […]
Events Planning: Suppliers Review
Here’s a review of the suppliers I’ve had for little Z’s baby dedication: Venue: Kalapaw – Taste of Laoag I had booked Kalapaw – Taste of Laoag as my venue. It was suggested by a relative when I was still searching for a venue. I chose this one because it offered the cheapest package compared to all the other caterers and venues I haveĀ checked. I didn’t really have the time for food tasting prior to the event so I just crossed my fingers and prayed real hard that the food will be at least good. I was not disappointed. š […]
A Good Deal…
We had lunch earlier at a friend’s house because it is her baby’s 3rd month celebration. The actual day is supposed to be the 10th of the month, but since it is a holiday here in our country and both she and her hubby didn’t have to report for work (not like me.. huhu), they decided to celebrate it a day early. For some reason, I forgot to take photos again. Geez! Z was sleepy when we got there but he was in a good mood and was smiling once in a while before he got cranky and fell asleep. […]
Trip Down Memory Lane: First post…
A little more than a year ago, I started a new blog to document my unexpected journey into pregnancy, then eventually started this blog as a new chapter when my son was born (well, I started this blog because it has more storage space and it is easier to navigate than the one I used. That was actually the reason. Although I already have another blog here that I still maintain. Didn’t think of using that though, LOL!). The first post I published (see here) was something about the very early movements of a fetus that could be felt. Now […]
