Anticipation

It's a boy! We had our 5th month anatomy scan three days ago with Dr. Ulrich at Welcare Hospital, he seems nicer that day but still very much in his own world and very German. And then he ask if we know the gender, we said no, and we want to know of course at least now we know what color to buy for the little one. He said it's a boy, normally they won't commit 100% about the gender because they scared that the parents going to sue them because despite what they told, one can't be so sure until delivery day. But he seems really sure and he even print out zoomed sonogram picture as a proof.

There we have it, it's a boy...now at 23 weeks, kicking like mad. Mommy and daddy are waiting for your arrival, son.

Feeling Great Today :D

I just bought this Prenatal DVD from Virgin Megastore few months ago, dragging to do any sort of exercise with my growing belly. Until recently the uncomfortability kicks in, back ache (from looooong time ago) some cramps and joint pain especially the knees (two knee surgeries really taken the toll that now I keep expanding up down left and right). Really not good. I walked regularly in this heat (mostly in the mall, where there's A/C) but the pain doesn't get any better. Can't take my meds for the pain since it's not allowed by my ob/gyn :( So I turned to yoga. I'm not in a position to join local yoga classes, so I got this DVD and could practice in my own comfort home. And I don't have to look good just because I need to get out from the flat, it can be done merely just after I woke up in my pj's , switch on the screen and popped in the DVD. It seems impossible at first, but there are modifications at the stances depends on which trimesters are you in, which is perfect! So, after almost an hour beginner's stances, I felt lifted, light and flexible. I could really feel the effects and doing house chores without discomfort. This is my lifesaver! Totally recommends to anyone. Any kind of yoga-esque moves, really would do you good.

I am embarrassed that friends keep telling me to join them in yoga class, but I choose not to because I could do more strenous exercise before (...and still couldn't lose weight because I just love to eat..) And I found that people who do yoga having a shorter leg and longer body, which kind of ugly (katik, in my language...ehheehhe) due to the stretching of the upper body more than the lower part. But now since my movement is limited (although I sometimes forget) this is good for me. Very relaxing indeed.

Today so far been a good day. Besides I stopped playing those stupid games on Facebook. Games that doesn't gets you anywhere and just a waste of time. I can't believe I was addicted to those before. I think I probably still would if I keep opening the farms, the restaurants and the cafes and accepting those free gifts from the neighbours. I honestly don't have many spare time to just sit and play. (even if I do, I'd normally spend time in the kitchen trying out new and old recipes and eat) haha! more productive, isn't it? Or pick up a book and read and surfing internet looking for infos and watch movie or listen to music. Which are far more fulfilling, in my opinion.

FRIGGIN' KABAYAN!

Wtf?! You think its only your nationality lives in this country? Why do you always ASSUME that other people who have similar color skin,hair and eyes are from the Philippines??? Why do you always start speaking with them in your language and ASSUME they'd understand? Why do you always have to ask where are they from? Who are you to know where I am from? SO what, if you are from the same country? You'd give me money? You'd give me food? For being the same nationality? Although when I speak do I have your friggin' accent???

Can ANY Filipino explain this to me? What is the BIG of a deal that you must know where I am from??? Can't you just be quiet and do my nails or give me my order without asking or start talking in your language at me? There are other nationalities lives in this country too..did I go and ask where they are from? NO! That's just plain rude! You don't know me, I don't know you, who the F you think you can just start a small talk by asking what's people nationality?

That...the above rants are the only reason I am so bebulu with these people. Oh..oh..and when you said "No, I'm from Malaysia" they would replied; "Ahh...I thought you from Philippine, you look like Filipino"... Do I care???? Do you have to give that statement?? What do you think that make ME feel??? Sorry because I'm not from Philippine??? WTF! Just do your job and leave me alone.

I have permed my hair, put on tons of make up so you don't simply come up to me and ask where I am from...yes, the curly hair helps, not much of the make up.

I have done some reading from here and found out they are descendant from MY people, the MALAY people. But do I go and ask them hey, you from Malaysia? Are you Malay? NO! Why DO YOU then???

LEATHER ANNIVERSARY

Who could imagine Kalle can be this romantic :P

My dear Lord..already three years I've been married???? Feels like yesterday. There's so many ups and downs you don't want to know..I'm going to tell anyway..haha! suck on that! We been together for 7 years 4 months 1 week and 3 days. The roller coaster ride we been through can be daunting sometimes, feelings are we going to be together till the end, are we going to change at some point, are we still going to love each other, are we going to be fighting over picking up socks all over the floor every time it happens, or are we just going to accept things doesn't always happen the way we hoped it would be and adjust ourselves to suit the other.
And always talk about what's bothering us (I learned this when I met Kalle, coz I'm the one kind that doesn't like to keep nagging or say it out loud how I feel about something and hoped it would go away) Wrong. You have to acknowledge that we can't read minds..(although, some people they are proactive hence no need to tell what to do..and anticipate each others' need).They are the exceptions, but most of us, we have to verbally communicate to achieve what we want.
Weird enough, he likes it when I nag ( I know right...too good to be true??) Having a fish memory he said, he rather me kept telling him. I don't like that in the beginning, but he really doesn't seem to mind at all. Although I did remind him that he'd like it now..but what about the next 20 years along the path, would he still like a nagging wife??

I'm not perfect either..none of us is but we are just perfect for each other. I couldn't have ask for anyone better than him to be by my side on my death bed as my husband and best friend even though sometimes I feel like smacking him at the back of his head for something he did that make me angry or sad.

Here we are, today, uttering the word I love you everyday and hugs and kisses and laughter and tears that come along the way, we are going strong.
