I maybe pregnant

I hope I am, actually to at least compensate for the weekend I wasn’t able to tend to my blogs. I spent the afternoon sleeping with my daughter, I am having a hard time to do anything coz I feel tired so easily. Plus, my ovulation calendar is telling me that I maybe pregnant!

But the pregnancy test is telling the other way.. If only I can know the answer on virtual roulette I would. I would make a mark of pregnant or not pregnant and spin that roulette online to end this confusion. And this guessing game is killing me actually. You may say, go to your doctor quick and have your check up, husband’s answer to that would be – go to the psychiatrist fast. He said I am sick mentally, LOL – expecting to be pregnant in a blink of an eye. Just like me, husband is scared of that one line on the pregnancy test kit. He’s afraid to admit but that’s the truth!

Another fun part I can play on Gioca alla Roulette Online is to guess whether I am sick, not sick, and pregnant or Not. That would be fun game! Tell me if you want to play along!

If i were Kris Aquino

Hi! I am back from a 3 day vacation, lol. Its always hard to start the week from a long weekend. But am so glad I made it through. I will be going home but decided to update this untouched blog since last week, err.

Anyways, have you heard about kris aquino’s recent controversy? There has been a buzz on that from last week’s entertainment world, in television and broadsheets. I know some bloggers wrote about this already and posted the video of Kris Aquino while airing her side on the Buzz (hi ms beng!). As a wife like Kris, I just want to voice out my opinion.

I have been on the same situation in the past - - but without the civilized confrontation part. There was a girl who used to be a Mayen Austria in my husband’s life. And upon knowing this I bombarded the girl with all the horrific and dreadful SMS I could ever send to someone – she was lucky enough I don’t know where she lives coz If I do I would be in front of her house confronting her with loud cries of – ‘leave my husband alone!’

So I have to say that Kris Aquino has a class of her own, or with breeding to be able to handle the situation calmly and composed confronting the girl on a civilized manner. When she said ‘ I am uncomfortable with your daughter calling my husband’ – I would never say that to someone. I would really say worst if I were Kris.. I am not a "silent" wife. ;)

How about you? What’s your take on this??

In full Gloom

Its Friday already and the Husband is not yet HOME!

Lonely Nights

I don’t know if there was something wrong with my body temperature last night. Upon arriving home I was sweating out but I felt so cold inside. The house seems so lonely. I miss the laughter of my two precious playing while am preparing our dinner. And it was gloomy to eat alone. Without him I feel so empty.

Sleeping without my husband beside me was like sleeping half awake. It was the first night without him and tonight would be the last night. I just hope its Thursday already that I can sleep soundly like before. I miss someone hugging and embracing me, my feet seem missing its entwined partner too, and oh how my hands miss those broad shoulders to hug and would always dozed me off to sleep. But what I have to endure most are the two nights without his good night kiss. I miss my flirty husband so much. Oh how I wish its Thursday already.

My Share of Green Mango

Now is really the time of unusual cravings again. Am salivating while writing this here at office and am only waiting for husband to fetch me. How i wish he is already here so that we can go home and start satisfying my hunger for this green produce.

I have been eating chocolates the whole day, and now suddenly i am craving for the greenest mango. good thing husband bought me a kilo yesterday, which is by the way is very very cheap, an P8per kilo of mango during this time, good thing!

and now i can't wait to go home.. hmmmmm.

Am a Happy Wife and Proud Mom

My lavender colored wall

From the office I hurried home last night, i know it will be very long night for me fixing things in our new 'abode'. So imagine when i reached home and started unpacking clothes and organizing it in our cabinets, fixing things in my little kitchen and playing with Yena in between. I had my hands full but still try to capture this lovely sight i've been wishing to have since i've been dreaming of home - lavender wall!

I specifically told hubby to paint the ceiling white! And here is the finish product. Though hubby told me that this will be our temporary home for the moment until we can afford a 'home' in the future - i am so happy just that i have now what am wishing for!

And i can't wait hubby fixing our family photo on the wall. I manage to put it in the window just so i can capture it! :) And our curtain courtesy of my mother. See? No more walls between my mother and husband now!! Lavender wall seems so lovely all the more!!

~ o ~

Now am also taking this opportunity to thank my Mareng Nancy! To whom am forever grateful for fulfilling my birthday wish and my greatest dream to have a home. With your great help mare - here is our favorite color on the wall of our new nancy mini house! :)

Miss you! Get well soon!! Muchas Gracias again! Mwah mwah

Spot the difference

Both pictures were taken at Picnic Grove Tagaytay.

Picture 1 - October 2007.
I was 6 months heavy with Yena. Hubby and I played Mom and Dad to his nephews for a day. :)


Picture 2 - November 2008.
Hubby carrying our Yena with our nephews and niece. Being mom and dad is a real life role we play everyday. :D


Can you still spot the difference?

I'll start with what i observed: When you become a mother, you turn into a photographer and you are supposed to be excluded on picture taking most of the time! :)

Separate Lives

Woke up from a sleepless night, took a bath with no trace of your hands on the soap.

Mondays (everyday!) will never be the same without you by my side.

Alone at the bus, I rushed myself to sleep, only by then I would dream of you, us, and our daily rants about life while cuddling and tickling at each other’s bones

I could not dare sit on the seats we called “lovers lane” cause I am alone by myself, me and i. And got no lover around :(

I paid for a single fare. I used to sleep fast to ignore this part, I know you would always pay for me!

Miss someone guiding me through at every single move i made..

I run going to the office, I miss you pulling me and running with me when I will be late and I don’t want to walk fast

I skip breakfast. I will miss our everyday morning meal at the canteen.

I miss our flirty chats. Our emails. Our phone conversations. I miss you.

I had a solo lunch, was in tears. I told you, I have to get used to it by now.

But I cant.

Every inch of you, all traces of you were here with me.

I miss you here in Makati!

Cant wait to be night time again, cause by then i will be at your arms hugging, kissing and never letting me go.

For the First Time

we were planning to watch KC Concepcion's first ever movie, For the first time, but due to lots of reason and because hubby surprised me with other first on something last night.. we will just watch the pirated tape my officemate lend me, cuddle with him while watching it at home with Yena. ;) LOL

i am talking about first time here, and so i asked hubby to send me all his firsts experiences from me.. and i will write down mine too. and here's our lists..

per hubby's accounts:
- i got my first ever email message from my wifey that was some two years ago.. i learned about jobstreet from her, and i am still trying to know what friendster is all about til now

- my wife was the first ever woman i ever played table tennis with, she taught me how without her knowing i was playing it long before i knew her..

- "I got my first ever surprise flower delivery, a three white roses on our 7th month. vivid memories of how my girl officemates claimed the flower that soon were forwarded to me. she knew how to surprise me really! I got the sweetest wife in the whole wide world!"

- last year march 2007, wifey, me and some friends went to Baguio, my very first time in the city of pines. I was 25 years old.

- both of us had our first overnight camping/mountaineering trip ever! that was November of 2006. thanks to wifey's asmsi mountaineering friends!

- my wife had the worst mood swings i can ever imagine, she was the only girl who made me cry and worst it was along the road!

per my account:
- i am not brand conscious, my husband is! he only wears bench underwears and levis jeans. and then one day he surprised me my very first pair of levis jeans. :D

- even before being an ITEM, i noticed husband starting to be the PDA type, cant get enough of holding, carressing, kissing and hugging me even in public! to which most of the time i like :)

- when i was so drunk some two years ago from tequila over a very big problem, i threw up and made hubby clean all the mess i made on the floor.. i was so unconscious that next morning i coudnt believe it all, hubby had daryl to testify! :)

- i had my very first ever hair treatment, a cellophane shine from index salon courtesy of hubby last night! i can kiss him right then and there! shout for joy!

-"my hubby was not my first boyfriend, BUT HE IS MY FIRST AND WILL BE MY LAST TRUE LOVE... that was a pact I made not only to human race but also to High Heavens on the day i said 'i love you too, baby!'"..

A love to last to lifetime

One romantic evening at the bus on our way home from work. I asked hubby on things he thinks add spice and keep the relationship stronger with the littlest gestures that are so loving…

I already have my lists and when I added his I got loads of whats and what nots, I mean I get the non pornographic part and boila! this is our collective effort on what keeps our relationship on fire..

1. husband still wears wedding ring no matter how tight it is on his ring finger.

2. instead of buying expensive bouquets of roses, he surprises wife with a 3 red roses, freshly pick from one of the neighbors garden! ;)

3. husband wears the wife’s sexy tops while the wife wears the husband’s boxer shorts on sleeping time

4. once the wife's cellphone rings, and unable to get hold of it he reads the message out loud or would give wifey the phone but peeks on it though, hahah. And scroll into each and one of her messages or calls. (jealous lover! hehe)

5. while you’re subconsciously sleeping you collect lots of surprise kisses and hugs from him and by that you know you’ll have a goodnight sleep!

6. he cooks your favorite meal, prepare your dinner and fill your glass with some iced tea!

7. husband whispers compliment like “you look sexy with your outfit!” at the end of a very stressful day

8. no matter how busy he is at his work, he still finds time to answer the wife’s nagging emails, senseless chats and prank phone calls. :P

9. they still hold hands while walking and look into each other’s eyes while talking anytime anywhere.

10. he surprises you with a slice of pizza on your way home! Packed with tissues which he got from their office meeting or merienda, Just for you! Forget the taste-like-tissue-pizza, it's really the thought that counts! :)

And what was that subject slash song of Jose Mari Chan got to do with this list??

Husband and wife relationship will be on the road to blissful bliss. And the road has nowhere to go but up there.. a one way street to a LOVE to last a lifetime! Hopefully.. (Crossing fingers now) Hihi

You and I will Never Say Goodbye

while i was a fool complaining on what kind of life i am in. or for what kind of wife i have been. i just thank God for the husband who inspite and despite of my shortcomings, still loves me the best as he could. though imperfect like me, he still and always battles with me to give Yena the best of what our little world has to offer.

i have the utmost mood swings that irritates him, but unlike other husband he would not hurt me a bit. i am a jealous lover, but unlike the man my close friend shared he would rather stay home with me to rub out such wrong suspicions. i am a nagging wife sometimes, but he never nag back at me, and smiles back at me instead. he was a typical playboy before, but totally changed now (he swore!) and i firmly believe him when he said so.

id like to do things my way, he likes to do his own. we are two imperfect being on this imperfect world but still we are sticking into each other just because..

we love. each other. our daughter the most!

to that man i said yes, i do (while laughing with him) on our wedding day 10 months ago and to the man i will celebrate my 25 months of mushy things tomorrow.. I love you more and more each day!

Hafir Berdey tu da tu opas.

this time i know it's for real

For all my life and forever
There's a truth I'll always know
When my world divides and shatters
Your love is where I'll go

I am in love. Now i know it's for REAL!

I love YOU!!!

This time i'll be sweeter

One petty arguments lead to another. And you want to talk about it, fix the situation, solve the problem and build a stronger relationship. Confrontational ka kasi, while i am not. I keep everything inside me, i dont want to talk! I wanted some space, and you interpret it as - separation.

Hiwalay kung hiwalay na parang kanta ni Beyonce,

To the left to the left
Everything you own in the box to the left
In the closet, that's my stuff
Yes, if I bought it, baby, please don't touch (don't touch)

Akala ko tuloy magiging official theme song na ng buhay ko ang kanta ni Phil Collins..

Well I held on to let you go
And if you lost your love for me,
well you never let it show
There was no way to compromise
So now we’re living (living)
Separate lives


So glad im singing a different tune now, love song still and much kilig to the bone! Angela Bofill.. Pasok! :D

This time i'll be sweeter
our love will run deeper
i won't mess around
i won't let you let down
have faith in me
have faith in me

Wont mess around means we will talk, i will not be dumb. i will not be hard on you. i will not be as cold as ice.. i will try not to be a pasawife ever again and i will love you more than you love me!

Yay, i am back from the moon. Glad that i left there my old me. Anyong* to a new me! :)

*Anyong - A greeting from Korea

Life is a quest and love a quarrel

I'm broke but I'm happy
I'm poor but I'm kind
I'm short but I'm healthy, yeah
I'm high but I'm grounded
I'm sane but I'm overwhelmed
I'm lost but I'm hopeful baby

I feel drunk but I'm sober
I'm young and I'm underpaid
I'm tired but I'm working, yeah
I care but I'm worthless
I'm here but I'm really gone
I'm wrong and I'm sorry baby

I'm free but I'm focused
I'm green but I'm wise
I'm shy but I'm friendly baby
I'm sad but I'm laughing
I'm brave but I'm chicken shit
I'm sick but I'm pretty baby

I'm a bitch, I'm a lover
I'm a child, I'm a mother
I'm a sinner, I'm a saint
I do not feel ashamed
I'm your hell, I'm your dream
I'm nothing in between

Lyrics from; Bitch by Meredith Brooks and One Hand in my Pocket by Alanis Morissette

- 0 -

When depressed, guilt-ridden, and so miserable with A LOT of things, it's music and hubby's cracked jokes and punchlines that keep me sane..

On misty sunsets of my life (like today!), expect to hear music of Alanis and Meredith playing over and over again on my cellphone and on my work area.. I found solace listening to them.. I dont know why!

Please remind me to be a kind wife to my hubby. Cause at the end of the day, it was always a nice music, hot embrace and passsionate kiss that would make me alright!
