Simplified.

Made my blog look simple. I got tired of the super girly-ness of it all but I stuck with the color pink. Also transferred all the gadgets to the other side just for the hell of it. Will prolly make a new banner when Brianna grows up because that'll be the time when I can have all the time I want for myself. For now, I have to be contented with how it looks.

Edit: I'm still not used to the way my blog now looks. I find reading the entries part kinda weird.

AKO SI DENNIS!

I've found myself watching this.


I "started" watching this a few days ago, when Mula Sa Puso started. I know I said I didn't like Koreanovelas because they act...weird. They're like Bobby Andrews in Mara Clara. Their faces seem to be botox-ed from the nose up. The only part of their face that moves are their lips. And for the most part, I think they all look alike so I find it awkward watching them.

So imagine my surprise when I found myself laughing while watching yesterday's episode. It wasn't that funny but I laughed! And a while ago, I finally gave up restraining myself from actually enjoying a Koreanovela.

This is just another one of those moments where I ate what I said.

Be mine!

This is just P1760.

My favorite commercial. I know I've said that before but what the hell.


I love Billy Crawford in this commercial! Watch out for the 00:15 mark.

Brianna's growing up so fast...

We went back to Brianna's pedia last Saturday in St. Luke's in E. Rod for her monthly check-up and here's what the pedia has to say about Brianna:
  1. She grew 2cm since the last time we saw her... which was just 2 weeks ago.
  2. Brianna also gained a few pounds since we last saw her pedia. I thought her gaining that much was disturbing but Doc said it's normal for breastfed babies.
  3. The pedia complemented her about raising her head longer. Doc Pau said she's "advanced" than most babies her age. This gave a huge grin on my face which lasted 'til the next day.
Brianna had her third set of shots last weekend, too.

Add that to the fact that we had to buy her clothes (again) already because she outgrew most of the clothes we have here. Yes, even those white wrap arounds (I dunno what it's called) that make her look like (what I like to call) a "generic" baby.

Plus she wakes up na when it's noisy or when you leave her alone on the bed. Before, you have to wait for her to get hungry for her to wake up. Now, all you have to do is to turn the volume up and viola! She's awake!

She also has another "vice". She "hangs out" in front of my boobs whenever she feels like it. She cries when I move away. As Ran said, "mga batang adik sa boobs".

I'm happy I can actually witness all these changes in Brianna and that is why I am having second thoughts on going back to work before she turns one. I need your opinions...

    I remember wanting to bring Brianna out yesterday then I see these...




    LET'S GO TO THE MALL... TODAY!
    -Robin Sparkles

    I saw this blog online via Twitter.

    I decided to read and follow @Lord_Voldemort7's online blog because I find his tweets funny in a sarcastic kind of way. I liked all of his posts until I saw this one:


    I AM against domestic violence but that interview for Good Morning America was supposed to be about his new album called F.A.M.E. but the interviewer talked more about the Rihanna incident. I thought it was unfair hence, the first half of this entry for me is unfair too. We shouldn't be focusing on what had happened in the past. What's important is he's rebuilding his career.

    Then I continued on reading the rest of his post and learned Chris threw a tantrum in the set of Good Morning America after the interview, which I kinda like because it's so badass but at the same time, I went like "Oh buddy". I mean, if you're someone trying to rebuild your career and your image to the public, at the very least act civilized when in public. They may have gotten over the Rihanna incident but that wouldn't save him from anything.

    Sorry, Chris, I love you but just sayin'.

    Going back to what this post is supposed to be about, I like all of his posts except half of this Chris Brown post which is good enough so I will continue on following him. His thoughts seem to be relevant. He is, after all, the Dark Lord.

    (I am no Harry Potter fan. I had to research what he's called in the books. Just sayin'.)

    He's not my kind of guy but I like him.


    He's the reason why I keep on watching iCarly but everything about him is wrong for me. He's too skinny for me, he has goofy hair and he's WHITE.

    He reminds me of someone from college who also isn't my type but I find cute.

    I now am in love with Bruno Mars.

    Yes, after the Just The Way You Are hype, that's when I realized that I love him. Mostly for his voice, I think. After realizing that, I downloaded his album Doo-Wops & Hooligans and MY GOD, his voice is really that of an angel. Upon hearing his album, I instantly want to watch his concert here in Manila on April.

    So if there's any good soul out there who can get me free tickets to Bruno Mars Live in Manila, I'd be really grateful.

    Like mother, like daughter.


    Please forgive the tacky photo editing, I just rushed it. And I HAVE TO edit it because my tummy looks all weird because of the black line that runs from under my belly button 'til my pubes and the shape of it is just...weird. My sleeping face is never pretty so I also had to cover it.

    Photo taken by Patrish. No thanks to her for taking a photo of my ginormous post-pregnancy tummy.

    Oo nga naman...

    I'm actually researching Rebecca Black.

    I got curious on who this Rebecca Black girl is. She's been trending (number one) in Twitter for the past few days so today, while Brianna's sleeping, I decided to research her.

    Apparently, she's the voice of the worst song ever written. I refuse to watch her video on YouTube but I heard her song in TMZ a while ago anyway and her voice sounded bad. My voice sounds bad, too, I know but I don't sing in public.

    I wanted to post her video here but I am too lazy to look her up on YouTube - a lot of people made videos about and for her, I can't find the original 13 million hits video - so if you want to listen to her, just go to YouTube.

    I had a weird dream two nights ago...

    I can't remember the exact details of my dream even the next morning, though.

    Anyway, in my dream, Bry proposed with an engagement ring with this huge-ass diamond on it. I mean, HUGE. Also in the same dream was our wedding. As I've previously said, I can't remember the details (e.g. motif, who were there, etc) but I remember giving him my wedding vows and him, giving his wedding vows. I also remember him wearing the wedding ring on my finger. The ring was really really simple but it had a lot of small diamonds on it.

    I don't know what that dream means (and I can't research now because the connection's fucked up) but I'm pretty sure it has something to do with huge changes that I am anticipating to happen like actually living with Bry under the same roof.

    Tuesday, March 15, 2011

    The only thing I am holding on to right now is the fact that I once want us and our little family to happen.

    Monday, March 14, 2011

    Someone commented on my Pissed off is an understatement entry.

    To whoever you are, thanks for the advice.

    Just weather the storm iha and stay put with your mom. Your mother is just frustrated with what happened with you because it is something that she never envisioned and she was not prepared for it. These emotional outburst are common in situations where you are in and some are even worse.

    I am very sure your mom loves you and your daughter very much. Believe me.

    Even at a young age do your best and try to face everything in a mature manner with civility and if ever you feel down and wanted to cry I would advice you to cry privately.

    Everything happened already and there is no way we can go back in time and correct things. Once the emotions have settled down and people around you will begin to accept things, then everything will go for the better. Remain positive and strong.

    I just think it's unfair for her to say that I will not be able to send my daughter to a reputable school. And being the way I am, I most probably will prove her wrong which sucks because I am so tired of trying to prove myself to them.

    Sunday, March 13, 2011

    "I was afraid this time would come. I wasn't prepared to face this kind of hurting from within. I have learned to live my life beside you. Maybe I'll just dream of you tonight and if into my dreams, you'd come and touch me once again, I'll just keep on dreaming 'til my heartaches end..."


    I watched this movie just now because there's nothing good on TV. Trish had a copy of this movie stored in the laptop. I did not download it. And I am not guilty. Hee.

    The movie's about Paolo (Gerald Anderson), a SALES AGENT and Agnes (Kim Chui), a graduate of nursing studying for the board exams. Long story short, Paolo BECAME OBSESSED WITH WORKING AND MONEY WHILE HIS RELATIONSHIP with Agnes - who thinks HER BOYFRIEND IS THE CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE - SUFFERED. In the end, they broke up and lived their own lives.

    I believe that a love story like this could end better. I mean, if they both decided to fix their relationship, they could live their lives together and have a family and be actually happy. Happiness and love is a decision, right? We have the power to choose what we want to be and how we want to live our lives. It just takes courage and sacrifice...and persistence.

    Pero really, like what Agnes asked in the movie: Can someone really be THAT busy?

    These ARE the crappiest interview questions...


    Now wishing that I don't give answers like these to the person who will interview me.

    Pissed off is an understatement.

    It has been 3 days since my mom directly insulted my capacity to send my daughter to "magagandang schools tulad ng mga pinagaralan niyo" but I still can't get over it. I wanted to scream at her when she said that but I didn't want Brianna to hear it (because 0-5 year old babies absorb EVERYTHING s/he hears). I kept my mouth shut. I didn't even mutter a sarcastic "Thank you, ha". I was that upset.

    I am not upset because she didn't believe I will get enough money to send Brianna to an exclusive all-girls school or one of the top 4. I am upset because she's supposed to be the one who's giving me the biggest support because of the fact that she's my mom. As I always tell her, nangunguna pa siya sa mga nagbabagsak sakin.She's supposed to bring my spirits up when I feel weak but she's the first one to tell me "Oo nga, di nga kaya". I mean, what's that?! Brianna's pedia is so much more supportive than her.

    Breastfeeding's another issue. Everyone - and I mean EVERYONE - keeps on pushing me to breastfeed. That I am patient enough to go through with it. That I can do it 'til Brianna's a year old. That I CAN breastfeed. But, guess what, my mom tells me "Wala ka namang gatas." How supportive.

    I want to move out already. I can't wait to live on my own. Really. I hate hearing negativity and I hate the lack of support from my own family. I want to move out. Now.

    I watch too much Mara Clara...


    I like Aria Clemente's voice... And I wouldn't have guessed Albie Casino could rap. He actually blew my brains out when I watched this.

    And personally, I think they look better together. Andi Eigenmann looks too old for Albie and Kathryn Bernardo and Albie Casino don't really have chemistry.

    Really, I watch too much Mara Clara - FREE TV, really - for my own good.

    Will it be vain for me to say that Brianna is the prettiest baby I've ever seen?

    Thursday, March 3, 2011

    Since I'm going back to work soon...

    ...I will be needing a yaya to take care of Brianna. But I need to get a yaya who's a PSI grad because the first 5 years of my baby is crucial in terms of "programs" and PSI grads know how to send out positivity.

    I shall ask other PSI grads if they know someone.

    This made me laugh.


    The Neil Patrick Harris part, WINNER!

    WTF, CHRIS BROWN?!


    WHY DID YOU BLEACH YOUR HEAD?!

    WHY?!?!?!?!?!

    Jill, I told you already how this line is perfect.

    Constantly keep communication lines open because the saying absence makes the heart grow fonder does NOT apply to me at all! If I don't hear from you for 24hours at most, I will assume you are cheating or you are dead, so don't make me worry because I will call the police either to look for you or turn myself in because I cut your balls off.

    MGA BOLERO KAYONG MGA SPAMMERS!

    Take this one, for example:
    Hi, your blog look nice and great info. i wish you can visit mine too
    (Lynda, Sat, Feb 26th 2011, 05:30 PM, http://wedding.many-find.com/45700/0/11110011/10/Wedding.html)
    And this one:
    Your blog is distinctive. I have found your blog innovative. You have chosen very incredible topic for your post. I cherished it.
    (Milna Bertha, Tue, Mar 1st 2011, 06:50 PM, http://adf.ly/ACy2)

    I think the universe is trying to tell me something...

    I was browsing through tweets in my timeline from the previous night when I came across this:
    If you have to keep asking him and bugging him for attention, he's not worth it. His mind, unfortunately, is elsewhere or on someone else.
    (via @TheNotebook)
    Then a friend retweeted the next tweet right after I posted the previous one on my account:
    The less you seek attention, the more you'll get it. Quiet confidence makes 'em wonder... #TheSW

    My rusty, old phone...

    I've had this phone (Nokia E63) since '09 and I've been meaning to change phones. I wanted to get an iPhone since iPhone 2 was released but getting it meant I had to work 2 jobs or I had to live in our office then to save money. So alas, up until now, iPhone's still a dream for me.

    Then I wanted to get a Blackberry just for the hell of it but thought that it won't be worth it because I didn't really want it.

    So I thought getting a Nokia phone again - since it's the only user-friendly phone - but thought the money should be going to something more important than a phone so I'm not getting a new phone anymore since I am using Nokia now. I just hope my rusty old phone lasts til I get another job. :)

    Does having a kid with the guy I am with mean I shouldn't be oogling about other guys anymore?

    Not in a sexual manner, though... It's just that I have all the time in the world to stalk some people on Facebook. Some people meaning people I had a past relationship with, officially or not, and people I had a huge, huge crush on (and lust for) before and hot dang, most of them got HHHHHNNNNNGGGGG hotter than I could ever remember.
