Saturday was not my day.
I was so looking forward to the weekend right? In fact I started washing clothes early and as promised I started working from home. But that was not enough for my boss and junior boss. Despite sucessfully getting around 15 profiles they still insisted I go to office to call. Hmmm...it was really impractical for me to do that as we are not paid to work on weekends and I'd really love to spend time at home with baby & hubby. But they relentlessly bugged me and saying unecessary words (as if you are paid) that I just want to shut them up. I went in submission to their nagging.
I did not talk to a single person in the office. Despite them talking to me.
After that Ryan and I had a row after shopping for some stuff (this one has major guilt combined as it was my fault). But boy was I feeling sooo sooo low. And that too, Iaree was so sleepy when we arrived that I lost a day spent with her. Oh well...there are rainy days and there are bad bad days which felt like there's no end.
But today is Monday and I took a dose of positivity with me. No grudges except that junior boss is taking it to heart that I did not talk to them last Saturday. Hehehe what's a pissed off girl got to do? And Sunday was a better day, we heard mass at a new church with a better sermon (no politics included) and shorter too. I was able to pick fresh fruits from the night market. I managed to organize the clothes - gee am I getting fulfilled lately in arranging stuff? And plenty plenty of play time with Iaree. Plus pending shows to watch with Ryan =)

Selamat Hari Raya!!
Isn't holidays so much fun??! It need not be grand or anything (but of course if you have the money to splurge why not). End of Ramadhan so two days staying at home did it for me. Not to mention that today's a Friday so apart from the hardly filled streets and office a lot of people are just in the laze around mood.
As hard as I try not to it's just so easy to fall into the lazy mode at work. Hahaha. All that boss can do is tease me all day long and shake his head. Pity but not working. Hahaha!
I learned a few more things about Iaree baby:
- Morning siesta for her once she sees her milk bottle she would look for a position in her play mat to lie down. (I dont get to see this since if I am around she wants to feed from mommy directly)
- She is very observant of how I would react to her. After persistenly asking dede from me and I standing firm that she should have her dinner first she screamed and I just looked at her (with a not so mad face, more like what was that for?) and she tried being sweet (still repeatedly saying - dede), hugging me, making beautiful eyes, and begging (changing the tone of her voice). Daddy finally demanded that once she does the sweet and smiley thing again to reward her so she would know that's the proper way to ask.
- She giggles a lot when we jump but it's a very tiring entertainment I was out of breathe. Hahaha.
That's it basically, oh and as part of rearranging the room we decluttered to make more room in the drawers and cabinets. Next project: making a backup of all photos & files from our already full external HD's.
To all my muslim friends and colleagues hope you had a great time in your Kampung!!Selamat Hari Raya!

rearranged
Until now I never had the chance to freely remodel/rearrange our house/room. Our house in Laguna is so small with plenty of clutter and in Makati it's simply a lot of clutter. Which is why I am so excited even if we are just renting out this place in KL. Having Ikea here is not a big help, I cant help to get my hands on a lot of house stuff (decors, innovative and functional furnitures) which is so deliciously inviting to put in the house. And we discovered this furniture shop that sells a 3 seater sofa / lazy boy with 1 single lazy boy (so total of 2) - it may not be the lazy boy brand but they also provide a reasonable warranty for such a low price of less than PHP20K (converted amount). And of course there's the all so cheap LCD TV's...arrgh!
If only I.S. for Iaree is affordable here and we can easily switch jobs we'd really settle here. Hahaaha all because of Ikea, lazy boy, minimal traffic and affordable flight back to the Phil.
I got too carried away I strayed from my intended topic...
Anyway, since we have a new housemate we had to remove all our things from the spare room and we ended up with nowhere to put our things. Luckily I got Mister Weekend mode to help me out and rearrange the room. He was so brilliant in planning it out our room turned out to be very very spacious. It was so refreshing! When we asked baby Iaree if she liked it we got two nods of approval. I cant help to have our own place and start buying our furnitures where Ryan will not stop me and say is that easy to ship out?

An evening full of Hugs & Kisses
Sweet, cuddly and cute!
Every night if Iaree is still playful and not yet sleepy we sing songs together (she can follow the actions of Twinkle Twinkle & Row Row Row your boat). I also love tickling her and she loves being tickled as well she will give me her feet and neck for more...and she knows how the say "Tickle" too..or sounds like it.
When I tell her "I LOVE YOU!" -- the you part I tickle her tummy and last night she will stop me from tickling her by hugging me while I'm lying down. Super sweet! And I keep on repeating this so I will get endless hugs & I can shower her with kisses!
We were also full of delight when she said "Tu ko dede" (I want milk) her first complete sentence. Although its in Tagalog because I think here and there lola talks to her in Tagalog orshe hears us talking in Tagalog. =)
Some of Iaree's words for the month:
- Car
- Think (from My friends Tiger & Pooh song)
- Tickle
- Pat (from Little Einsteins)
...and mama said she can count up to three this I have yet to hear =)

Belief is the ignition key that gets you off the launching pad
I was talking to one of my closest friend last month and what he told me still lingers in my mind...
"There are so many things you never imagined will and can happen to you before but now you are living it right? I have no doubt that you can do whatever you set your heart in doing"
Days after that an ex-colleague (I forgot what our conversation was about) told me..."Ikaw pa kayang-kaya mo yan!"
I'm not losing confidence in myself or something nor was I asking for a motivation but they gave me such encouraging words that sometimes just the thought of it gets me through a tough day. On the other side if I do fail in my attempts it's so comforting to know that I have a supportive husband who sees past my mistake and believes that I can correct that or do better next time.
Most of the time we give up too easily or we don't believe in ourselves enough that we never try. There's no harm in having big dreams it's the thought of getting there makes some people cringe in fear and never indulge in the rocky pursuit.
Cheers! Here's to all my friends who are in pursuit of something, in the crossroads and most of all those who always believe in me and support me all the way. There are some days that I'm just a lucky lucky girl!

The week that mommy went out too much
Before we got married I remember telling Ryan that since he's not as sociable as I am I hope he wont stop me from going out with my friends once we were married. He kept his end of the bargain but there's no negotiating when you are a mom. Wonder Woman powers won't just work...
Wednesday night: Buka Puasa buffet / Farewell dinner for Linda - went home 10 PM.
- Iaree not asleep but was very sleepy when I took her from mama. And I cant put into words the delight on her face when she saw me. I haven't picked her up from bed yet she was waving goodbye to mama already. So adorable!
Friday night: Boss made a mandatory team night out - went home 11 PM
- Mama wanted to go out so I took them with me but not in the billiard hall nor in the bowling lanes so we were still apart =( and she was too sleepy when we got home
Saturday: We had to work then I went home took a nap then they were calling me again coz we had an office bowling tournament. I thought we will start early but turns out we had to wait for others...I was hardly home the whole day =( and I finished 8 PM
Though I made sure I make up for the time I was away, it's just different going out this time. Ryan said it's still okay to go out but I had too much for this week..I can do it but not over do it. Sooo true! Especially when Saturday afternoon Iaree started walking without support and I wasa few hours from missing it..sigh...good thing I was when she walked backwards and I managed to capture the moment too!

About me...lately
Well to start with my hair is an inch away for me to grow scales and be a mermaid. Arrgh!
I'm so scared of going to a salon here where I'll have difficulty explaining to them what I want and they will have difficulty understanding it. End product murdered hair. No way!! So until then my hair is plain old boring and long...Or maybe I can audition for a ghost lady role! Arrrghh kainis tlga!!
***
Something's cooking and I can hardly wait. My lips are sealed for now except for a few close friends who already know about it.
***
I'm so active with my multiply & friendster...well multiply I frequently update friendster I frequently log in. After uploading the pictures in Ryan's profile I will not bother uploading in mine...it's so difficult as compared to multiply. So if you're in my friendster but not in my multiply sorry for you there are more private photos shared for my network there.
***
Unti-unti nang nalalagas ang tao dito sa Emerio especially my friends over my almost 2 years of stay here. Haay. Oh well people come and go.
***
Miss ko na ang Pinas but most of all I miss my family and friends back there!!I miss going out and having fun with them!But I thank God I dont have to miss having fun with Ryan and Iaree everyday especially weekends like most married couple where one is working overseas or something.
***
Weekends if it's sunny outside my hope for having a fair skin falters...Iaree is so addicted to swimming.
Minsan even on weekdays if we go home early and take her out to the playground she pulls us to the direction of the pool. Ang lamig kaya! Gusto pa mag-night swimming.

Dokee, Ramm & Angelo's Trip to KL
Masaya na nakakapagod!
But I'm glad we had them to celebrate our Princess 1st birthday!! :)
My brother was supposed to join them but that's another story.
Day One:
Welll...my boss did not allow me to take a leave as early as Wednesday. Kamusta naman buti pa si Ryan pinayagan. Not even halfday grabe but then he told me I can leave at 4 PM. So we managed to rush to Orchid garden. Bird park dapat kaso parang nag second thought kme coz it was RM 27 per head parang ummm...just to see the birds so never mind. Hahaha nag-kuripot. Then we went to Petronas syempre. We enjoyed taking pictures...lots & lots of it. Na-disappoint lng me kse sa dinami dami eh low res pala naka set ung cam ni Dokee at ung cam namin na-lo bat at isa lng ang family pic naming tatlo nila kme nila baby & Ryan na-block pa yun mukha ko..hmmm...
We also celebrated in advance Iaree's birthday because we made plans for the next day. So blow kme ng candles sa super sarap nya ice cream cake care of Baskin & Robbins.
Before nga pala nila ako sinundo sa office my cousins attacked our swimming pool with Baby iaree of course..
Day Two:
Our Genting trip.
Iaree's birthday!
Ang saya!!
Kaso....super baba ng fog all the outdoor rides were closed exactly before our first ride. As in pasakay na kme pina-atras kme. Hmmm...But we still had a great time kulitan galore kahit super corny ng indoor rides. Well at least pwede si Iaree sa indoor rides. After all it was her day.
Day Three:
Aba super shopping galore sila. They all went to Central Market & Chinatown 12:00 nn 5:00 na nagpasundo...hahahaha!
Day Four:
Iaree's official party. Just a simple one. Nakakapagod ha in fairness kahit konti lng niluto namin ngayon lng ako super hands on sa party na walang maid. Huhuhuu...Ni make up di ko nagawa. At di ko na din na-asikaso na mapicture-an ng matino ung party. Oh well. Objective met. Iaree went for a swim and celebrated it. When she grows up I have pictures to share with her on her 1st birthday. Grand party na lng when she turns 7 and 18 or 16 depending on where we are that time.
Day Five:
Shopping ever pa din! Hahaha...parang ang yaman yaman ni Dokee puro shopping ang ginawa. =) No wonder we were exhausted. Hehehe...
I miss being with my family it was really great to have them here. I'll repost this with pictures next time. For now I want to go home early and play with Baby Iaree. Byeeeee!
