This was my tummy 7 weeks into the pregnancy...
And as of now, that's the tummy I am aiming for...minus the baby inside.
Trying to blog using the iTouch.
There are currently two job opportunities being thrown my way as I'm typing this but I had to turn down both because first, the stitches in my belly are still sore and second, no one will take care of my baby if I'm not in the house. Though I told them to call me again next month for another schedule of interview with them because honestly, this has been my goal since I graduated college so I am not letting the opportunity pass. I'd be a fool to let this pass, seriously. It's like letting go of the one true love of my life.
Ermmm, yeah.
Ermmm, yeah.

Alam mo yung pinakaayaw ko sa lahat?
Yung alam mo na yung mga ayaw ko pero yun parin yung ginagawa mo.
Yung nagmamakaawa akong bigyan mo ko ng oras at panahon.
Yung maririnig kong wala kang oras dahil marami kang ginagawa pero pag niyaya kang uminom, kahit may meeting ka ng maaga kinabukasan o may celebration ang anak mo, oo ka kagad.
Yung kayang-kaya mo bitawan kahit ano para sa alak pero kapag para sakin, ni text man lang, wala.
Yung ipinagpipilitan mong wala kang ginagawang masama. Siguro nga wala kang ginagawang masama pero wala ka ring ginagawang tama.
Yung ipinagdidiinan mong makitid ang utak ko at mahina ang pangunawa ko dahil "hindi ko naiintindihan" ang mga pinaggagagawa mo.
Yung pinipigilan kong makipagtalo sayo kasi pagtapos ng lahat, nagmumukha akong tanga.
Yung hindi ko sa'yo maisumbat lahat kasi alam kong may parte ako kung bakit nangyari yung mga nangyari.
Yung hindi ako makapagkwento sa iba ng mga problema ko kasi gusto ko sana ikaw unang makalaman pero nagpapatong-patong lang lahat dahil wala kang oras at pasensyang makipagkwentuhan.
Yung wala kang pakielam kung nasasaktan mo ba ako o hindi kasi para sa'yo, ako lang naman nananakit sa sarili ko.
Yung mas lalo kang nawalan ng oras para sa akin...sa amin...at walang paraang nahahanap o nagagawa para masolusyonan yun.
Yung hindi ko alam kung anong relasyon meron tayo. Kung pera-pera na lang ba ang usapan.
Yung walang pinagbago 'tong relasyon natin kahit nanjan na yung bata.
Yung naguguluhan nako pero hindi ko masabi sa'yo lahat ng 'to kasi sasabihin mong paulit-ulit lang mga pinoproblema ko.

How does typing this in Google get anybody to my blog?
Weird..."whatever happened to chivalry does it only exist in 80’s"
Tonight's episode was epic that I want to make an entry about Mara Clara.
I won't be writing an entry about tonight's episode. I will be writing an entry about how I feel about the show.
I can't recall how the original teleserye with Judy Ann Santos and Gladys Reyes back in 1992 went. I know people will say that the original has a better story/cast because it aired for 5 years. Imagine, 5 days a week for 5 years (for the exception of 5 Holy Weeks because back in the 90s, the only shows that air during the Holy Week are inspirational shows and TV masses)? How can it not be good, right? But I personally think that this adaptation of the original is good only because I can't remember how the original went. (Hee.)
The cast, I think, made me want to watch the teleserye every night. Sure, most of them could take more acting workshops to convince the viewers more of their worthiness to play their respective roles but for a very amateur cast, they made it work.
My most - and at the same time, least - favorite character in the show is Clara (Julia Montes). Okay, maybe not favorite "character" but favorite ACTRESS. I think Julia Montes makes a very convincing Clara because most people (on Twitter, anyway) get annoyed by her. And the smirk... THAT ANNOYING SMIRK. Never fails.
This loveteam would've been really effective if both Kathryn Bernardo and Albie Casino took more acting workshops. The lines would (sometimes) go to waste when Albie delivers them because he lacks facial expressions. Same is true with Kathryn. Sometimes it looks like she has the same facial expression for all the emotions her character could possibly have. Don't get me wrong, though, I get all tingly inside when they have their moments even if the acting's blah. High school romance is the shizzzzz.
But who do I think is the main star of the show?

HER.
She's my most favorite. Seriously. Winner siya.

Still from Kizia's (http://driventolive.tumblr.com/) blog.
10 Rules for living good life
1.) Take risks.
2.) Don’t seek approval from those you could care less about.
3.) Act now, ask questions later.
4.) Don’t seek approval from those you could care less about.
5.) Chase all of your dreams (even if you end up failing).
6.) Laugh daily.
7.) Own your actions.
8.) It is better to be kind than to be right.
9.) Still your mind and know your path.
10.) Awareness is the key to higher consciousness.
(source)
Rise above little things. Be a big thinker. You are what you think. So just think big, believe big, act big, dream big, work big, give big, forgive big, laugh big, image big, love big, live big. Carry that list and you’ll start feeling big. Be a believer and you’ll be an achiever.

It's hard being sick.
Before, being sick meant staying in at home and not waking up early in the morning to go to school or work, being able to boss people around because you're "too weak to do anything" and having all the chocolates you want. Never mind that your head hurts and you can barely move, you're just too happy to be home and not somewhere you don't want to be in.
Today, I realized that everything has changed for me.
First and foremost, I have been staying at home since October 2010 that it gets pretty boring here at home. Yes, I have all the TV and the internet I could take but it gets tiring watching the same shows over and over again. I know I will regret this but I honestly want to work again just to mingle with other people and visit other places (Okay, regret over this depends on what job I land). And I honest-to-goodness miss being productive.
Next, since I went to the PSI seminar last November, I started to dislike having people do what I can do for me. I used to boss people around, making them do what I should be doing and I enjoy doing it. But after that seminar, I learned that to accomplish what I need - and want - to be accomplished in the way I wanted it to be, I should be taking control. That's why now, I want to do everything. I feel so weak having to let people do things for me. Feels like I am not taking control of my life.
Chocolates now have become an obsession of mine. I used to want salty food more than sweet food but during my pregnancy, I shared this tight bond with sweet things - especially chocolates - and now, even if Brianna's here already, I still am in an affair with anything sweet. With that said, chocolates are not part of the positive side of being sick anymore.
Lastly and most importantly, I don't get to hold my baby. I know this sounds so mother-like but I realized only now how strong that bond between mother and kids is. I wanted to comfort her and hold her in my arms when she cries even if I know that she just wants to eat. I want to talk to her even if she doesn't understand me yet. I want to stare at her face up-close and kiss her nose when she sleeps. I sound in love and that's because I am!
I now officially hate being sick.
Damn all the drama, may sakit lang naman ako. Bukas magaling na ako!

My weekends during the 90's...
This TV series was what my 90's weekend was all about. A weekend wouldn't pass by without me watching this.
Sleep? What sleep?
I've decided to be a fulltime mom...at least for the first 6 months of Brianna and can I just say that after 2 weeks of being that, it's pretty tiring. I am enjoying every minute of staring at my baby for hours and talking like a baby and all, don't get me wrong but it literally is tiring. I must have slept for a total of 20 hours the past days all because I didn't - and couldn't - adjust my body clock the same time as Brianna's. I know her body clock will match mine soon... I just hope 'soon' is soon enough.
(Ooh, I'm good... I'm typing this while breastfeeding Brianna. Now that's what I call multitasking.)

Mom, you're P-A-R-A-N-O-I-D!
Apparently, my mom thinks Bry already has a family that we don't know about. Ate Thelma told me just this morning, over breakfast that my mom told her this when they were in the hospital during the most expensive false alarm that has ever happened to me, waiting for me to leave the labor room.
She used to tell me over and over again that Bry was going to leave me after everything when they first learned of my pregnancy...Now it all makes sense because all along, she has this in her mind. Crazy.
Now mom, if you happen to stumble upon this site, here are reasons why you should stop thinking negatively about Bry. Okay? And yes, I am pissed off.

- He personally asked you for my hand in marriage. Di ba enough reason yun? I mean, if he was married to somebody else (which he's NOT), he probably won't be going through with this one. Common sense, please, paganahin.
- He wouldn't spend so much money on this pregnancy. Again, isn't this reason enough? Why bother giving your money to some girl you got pregnant when you got a family to raise already? He should've just left if he had a family, don't you think? Again, COMMON SENSE LANG, PLEASE.
- He and I wouldn't have spent countless nights in their house and HIS MOM AND DAD WAKING UP TO SEEING US LEAVE THEIR HOUSE THE NEXT MORNING FOR WORK, resulting to this pregnancy.
- His parents wouldn't have allowed me to step foot in their house in the first place if he already has a family. They also wouldn't be excited for Brianna's arrival, if that's the case.
- He wouldn't have showed his face to our family. Mahiya naman siya kung may pamilya na siya, magpapakilala pa siya sa angkan natin.

On other, much brighter news...
WE ALREADY HAVE A CRIB AND A STROLLER!
Thank you, Baby Company fair! ☺
False alarm.
Last Saturday, the family and I were supposed to go to the Baby Company fair at Megatrade Hall but passed by the clinic for an emergency check-up because I had this white mens-like discharge that morning. Long story short, she had me admitted that same afternoon at the labor room for having 3cm dilation and contractions.
I stayed at the labor room, bored to death with literally nothing to do, for almost 12 hours. I entered at around 1:45 in the afternoon and was sent to my room at 12 midnight. Bry stayed with me through the night then I had to get back to the labor room again for observation at 4am, Sunday. This time, I stayed 'til 6 in the afternoon but I slept through most of the day since I got really, really bangag the day before.
At 6pm, Sunday, I was sent back to my room. My OB visited me and told Bry and my parents about the situation (Dilation's still at 2cm [where she got 3cm last Saturday, I don't know] and the contractions stopped) and that I will be under observation until the following morning. She said I will be having another biophysical exam for the baby and that's when she'll decide what to do.
At 6am the following morning, I had the NST exam before breakfast then went on to have the ultrasound. Brianna's in very good condition and my OB said I'll be discharged from the hospital. She gave me a few more reminders before I got back into the room. Nurses, Medocare coordinators and staff kept on knocking on the door probably for their procedures whenever someone will be discharged from the hospital.
Was released at around 11am and waited 'til 2pm for the bill. Here's where everything got crazy:
Anyway, the grand total of the bill is... Drumroll please...
Panu pa kaya pag nadeliver na talaga si Brianna? Oh well, it doesn't matter as long as she's healthy and delivered safely into the world.
But, yeah. I think it's too much. Especially if you see my room.

- DELIVERY SUITE (a.k.a. The Labor Room) - Php 21,971.00 --The bulk of the final bill was this! I stayed here for around 26 hours, they
- OB PF - Php 8,000.00 --Twas like she delivered my baby already.
- Medocare initially added another day to our bill so we had to let them know they were being madaya and we had everything checked again.
Anyway, the grand total of the bill is... Drumroll please...
Php 37,409.20
Panu pa kaya pag nadeliver na talaga si Brianna? Oh well, it doesn't matter as long as she's healthy and delivered safely into the world.
