Happy Birthday

It's my Mother's birthday today!I called after seeing her message in Chikka through my email.I have been receiving calls,I missed them and I couldn't return them because the numbers were withheld.They were worried because the last time they received a message from me was when I wasn't feeling well and that maybe something worst must have happened.

Anyway,they're all relieved now.I only greeted her a happy birthday and then asked how old she was.All the time I thought she was born on 1965 but I was wrong.She is today 45...she was born on 29 July 1963...shame on me."Naunsa gud tawn ka day nga 1963 man ko,2008 na baya ta ron!"she said.It was my father who had been thinking that he was younger than his age,I mean he thought he was born on 1962 where in fact 1961!It was only corrected when I applied for his late registration because the registrar said his record was missing.Maybe it was born with the former registration building among others.

Then I talked to my elder brother,asked him how old is his youngest son,he wasn't sure if he was born on October or August...haha.What's wrong with the dates?

Dancing to the music

I always love Saturdays because there are lots of good and entertaining programs to watch.UTV which is based in UK is currently showing "Who Dares Sings",a karaoke type contest which also makes us sing,really good.And not just that,Shiela is dancing with the music too.



After that,films/movies follow.I am really into Saturdays except that sometimes when it's late I have to give way for Shiela to sleep early.

More more more

More more more...

Those are the words you'll hear from Shiela after playing some funny audibles at YM.I could do nothing when she's around.When she sees me on the table with the computer she will then say UP UP UP(cuddle),then muahhhhh...(that big lips audible with such funny muahhhh is her fav),when I close the window that's when MORE MORE MORE comes.

She takes over in everything that makes me feel frustrated some times especially when I am doing something important.I just have to give up and give her some attention,she's the reason why I stayed home.That is to take good care of her and not to chat or blog.Blogging came just when she was already 10 months old.I know my priorities.


Imagine how heavy her hands are to slap the keyboard.Sometimes she sits on it when she needs a cuddle,huh!

The terrible twos

It's not only once or twice that Shiela pinched,kicked and slapped me.That's when she's doing something that we adult know that it isn't good.As they've said,children don't know danger,so be it.But they of course know what they're doing.Shiela's unacceptable attitude has been blamed to me by her father.It's because he said,I am spoiling her.That I shouldn't get too close to her whenever she acts funny or that I shouldn't be too giving.

He could be right at some point but there are just two options here.It's either you stop her through a fight or you go called flight!You will feel like a loser if you just go,better understand her wish.I know parents of toddler understand what I am saying.She used to be a very good baby since birth.I guess because today,she knows what she wants and she talks too.

Payday Loans

We are all tied up with financial problems these days. The prices of everything are just rising and the economy as the report says it's in recession.

Cookbooks,they're sleeping!

I have to say that I love eating!

I honestly would loved to be as productive as I can be with regards to preparing healthy and delicious meals. I got 4 recipe books and 3 from sister in law.I also got "Babies First Foods" that I intend to get for Shiela but never did I tried once.The only book that I had foods prepared is the Filipino recipe book that I carried when I flew here. It was where I learned to cook chicken curry,bake banana cake,ensaymada,empanada(where church members loved when I had them shared with them on a bring and share evening),cassava cake and many others.

Does that simply means that I am simply a Filipino and any other foreign or western or oriental foods are impossible for me to do? Or even African? I have rice almost every meal that shocked my SIL."Are you not fed up or satiated by eating rice everyday?",she asked. But what we all do?

Shadows!

Shiela's...

We went out early yesterday to attend the Sunday service at St.Andrew's Presbyterian church.The service was at 10pm and since we are a bit farther now,I decided to get up at 6am and prepared myself first before Shady and Shiela could get up.It's our routine that when Shady is off from work to always meet some friends at church after the service.But yesterday was a special one because we were also invited for a barbecue to a friend's house.There were just the 5 of us,the couple and my family.

But before all that,because we arrive too early about 45 mins before the service,we decided to take a stroll in Blackrock Park.There were just the 3 of us wandering around.It was really early.All we could see are some people taking their dogs out for a fresh sunny morning walk.And above are Shiela's photos with her shadows,we could barely have them here in Ireland...

Personalized stuffs

The hotel where my husband works has been generously giving their staffs gifts every year. I like it when it has the hotel's logo on it because I know that they really value my husband as their employee for 6 years now and so as my husband. He is happy no matter how tiring the job is, that made him stick to them that long.

If you are a company who really would love to compliment your employee’s hard work, you can do the same too. This is just my point of view but I know it works. You can order personalized pens to start with at inkhead.com. It is affordable and it wouldn't cost you much as a starter. Then you can go for more stuffs a year later. Visit them today!

A real surprise!

I seldom visit my bravejournal blog Wonderful Life these days since I really have nothing to update there until today.I read a comment there in one of my posts about an abusive father.I felt for the commenter because she herself has been abused by her own father resulting for a paralysis.

Got acne?

There are acne creams for you, don’t worry. I think I have acne too, just can't figure out maybe until I visit a dermatologist. And I also talked to a friend who had it and she said some acne creams doesn't work but she applied something really effective, I am happy for her.

Im happy for what I got!

Yeah, I got a husband that is so emotional, caring and understanding! Except that he always get shocked and panic every time something that isn't quite good happens.

It was Sunday when I decided to go to the city and visit the church where most of the Filipino worships. I already feel something different in my body, which sometimes happened so I didn’t stop going ahead of my plans. I don't know of the mass schedule, not sure of the exact location but I know the street going there. With my head that started to ache badly, I still went farther, so hot that day which I thought triggers the pain. Until I found the place and got inside. It was only a chapel so I doubt that there's nothing going on in there until I heard "Kordero ng Dios" sang by of course my fellow men and women. Tears fell down from my eyes as I couldn't believe how I missed the moment of being at home.

I was late so I stood just besides the door singing with them. And ouch my head ached that I couldn't stare at anyone. I was afraid for Shiela.What if I collapse and they will take me to the hospital, where will Shiela be? Now that kidnapping is common and that nobody knows us? I kept holding on, the mass ended and I met 2 Filipino priests and an Irish priest who welcomed me. He spoke Pilipino and Cebuano, can you believe that? I then went out and there I feel very bad. I felt like I am somewhere else, nag lutaw sa kahanginan.I sat down beside a shop. Brave that I am, I stood up and headed to a bus stop. Then the bus came and there I started throwing up. Lucky enough I have a plastic bag with me, I threw everything there, stinks of course yuck sorry. I called Shady and gush he started panicking. He got no choice. Home is 30 minutes away. The bus passed me by and I have to wait for few more minutes for the next bus. There again, I vomited, and again and again. People who saw me might think that I am pregnant but nahhhh I just had a miscarriage come on! Shady waited for us at the bus stop close to the house and thought of calling an ambulance. I know my body. I know that I needed to lie down...the saga continues until I slept and got up feeling fine! How long is this?

My ideal bed...

I got this from daft.ie. It's a property website where we found the apartments we'd been living in.This bedroom is my ideal/dream one.If only we can afford the monthly rental for this I guessed I was the first to call for a viewing appointment. It's just twice much higher than our budget,maybe when I got money to build a house in the Philippines I want it to be like this.

I am now saving cent by cent.Hopefully I can save up to a million pesos, by that time then I will living in my dreams hikhik...

Drugs without prescription

I am now trying to implement a strict diet because I found my belly really loose after I had a miscarriage, well I am always like this but I guess I really have to lose some weight. I hesitate to drink slimming tea because as I read the label, it sounds really dangerous to me.

The good thing is pharmacies can now be reached online. That means I can buy Phentermine without prescription! Phentermine has been known best because of its result. Visit consumerpricewatch.net for reviews about it.

I can see it in her face..

When we were in grief because of our 2nd baby's loss,I can also feel and see it in Shiela's face.I know she also understands that Mom and Dad wasn't feeling good those days.I asked Shady hours before I was put to sleep for the D&C to take us a snap for my sake,gush.And this is how Shiela looked...



There are still lots of chances for us to have more babies so no more worries now.It has been on my part because I am the mother.

Website for graduates

After graduating my associate's degree in computer technology, I have been having trouble looking for a job back home. Every time I attend for a job fair and interview, they always ask my qualification and I always ended up with disappointment. There was a wide competency between the graduates of a 4 year course and a 2 year course. Of course, employers prefer to hire those they think are experienced enough. I don't really think it's fair especially when the job doesn't relate to your field.

After a few more hunts, I then decide to enrol being a Carer. I haven't applied it since I came here because I prefer to stay at home and be with my daughter. At the moment, I tried searching for jobs online. I can see the demand being a healthcare professional but I needed more training to be competent enough. I also need some advice because I feel that my CV is not all attractive. What I can do now while waiting for the right time is to reach for help via eurograduate.com. The website is for all the graduates to be aware of what's going on the job hunting market.

I have a friend who has been laid off her job. I can’t imagine that the downturn of Irish economy affects everyone. There are lots of job losses in the past few months and as a non-national ,my husband’s job is at risk too although he has been with his employer for almost 7 years now. I am keeping my fingers cross that it wouldn’t happen to us. It really need us to be more careful these days with handling some finances, huh. With regards to my friend’s situation , I guess I need to tell her about graduate career advice & information at EUROGRADUATE so her engineering career won’t be a waste.

That time again!

I am enjoying my time off from my toddler.Hubby is off duty and now it's his turn to understand Shiela's tantrums.They are at the moment bonding and playing with a ball.I can't just imagine why Shiela suddenly turns from a happy to just being silly mood.Funny is it?

Well,that's the first bonding they have at the photo.Hmm,we should be very excited by now since this is supposed to be my third(3rd),only if I didn't miscarry,huh!

Stylish prescription glasses

Who needs contact lenses if you can have stylish glasses that are affordable and come with many benefits and features?I visited zennioptical.com after looking for options on what gift to give to my parents.I wonder why they already have poor vision despite the fact that they are still young.They complained of blurred vision and my father couldn't even read words even at a close distance.

Even if my vision is still perfect,I guess there is nothing wrong wearing these stylish glasses from Zenni Optical,only if I can get a non prescribed one.

Out yesterday for some check ups!

I can't imagine that I was hooked up yesterday in the hospital for almost 3 hours.I had an appointment with our doctor in the afternoon and he then referred me to the hospital for something.It's because I was tired and he suspected an infection.

Oh gush,I was waiting in the emergency room from 5pm thinking that I can still make up with some shopping.That "emergency room" isn't really for an emergency case.From the word emergency,the hospital staffs or healthcare professionals should be able to attend to you in less than an hour!There was a pregnant lady who I thought had trouble with her pregnancy.As soon as she arrived there she tired knocking.I said somebody's IN and she has nothing to do but wait.Maybe if you opt for private care then you will be attended whenever you wish.

Anyway,everything here is free.They don't asked a cent for their services.I also have the prescriptions for free.We are a medical card holders and that entitles us to a free medical service...

Loving her POOH bottle

We succeeded weaning Shiela from my breasts to a beaker.But my problem is during night feeds that she has to get up completely to drink the milk as the beaker drips so fast that she's afraid she can't handle the flow.So we decided to buy her the POOH feeding bottle with a teat.But it seems that Shiela is loving it that she is forgetting to ask for my breasts and that she demands for the milk in a bottle now.Everytime I give her the milk she says,hehey as hurray.Pooh's arms were raised as printed on the bottle,it's me who told her that pooh was saying hurry because he's happy.She picks up what I said easily.

At the moment,she can only manage up to 5fl.ozs.I guess that's the reason why she's looks really small for her age though people say that she's big.I am happy anyway because her size makes her more energetic and active.Thanks GOD!

A dream GPS

One of our plans once my husband acquires the full license is to travel outside Dublin with our car. We have been waiting for his schedule to sit in for the driving test and hopefully this August will be the D day.

Because we don't know places outside Dublin, we also plan of buying GPS to help us navigate all through our journey. I found out lots of portable GPS like Garmin GPS for sale at buy.com.I think I just have to bookmark this page for now. Fingers cross we will get this sooner.

Like mother,like daughter!

You Are Totally Like Your Mom

You and your mom are practically clones. You think alike, and you even seem to read each other's minds. You're definitely you're mother's child... and that's just fine with you.

Are You Like Your Mom?

People say that I really resemble my Mom,not only the look/s but the attitude.She has a great sense of humour and that people love to mingle with her,I guess my friends do the same too.We are not friends(literally) before,I respected her so much that I am afraid of admitting anything I find embarrassing or petty.But all those things changed when I got married.

It's her now that I can tell everything happening here.Before even flying here,we played cards together and sit the whole day together.Though there are times that I don't feel like making fun with her in front of friends.Our friends were my Aunts where we also have great fun together.Oh my,I miss her now.I don't remember hugging her even.When I bid goodbye 2 years ago,she pinched my face instead of kissing hikhik...unique!

Micro SD

I have been thinking of selling my computer because of financial problems. If I have to do that, at least I can have something to give for people back home. With the recent typhoon, I can now imagine how they are struggling to put everything back in order.

But I really love my computer. Aside from the memory space, it also has features that my husband's computer hasn’t. It has built in camera and mic and also slots for micro sd and standard sd's.I know I can not have something like this in the next years to come.

Ella enchanted!

The night before our wedding...

She's my cousin's daughter Ella Malise.She's Shady's favorite when he was there because of all the kids around,it was only her who talked to Shady and called him "Kuya Shadrack".She also speaks with Shady in English with a little help from her father.I really miss her because I can see some of her attitude in Shiela.She's only 2 years old here but she's just really smart.We asked her to pose and she did it just how we like her to do.

Baby gifts

One of the things I love is the generosity of the people here when I gave birth to Shiela.The first day we arrived home from the hospital was really overwhelming because we received visits from friends,with them are the baby gifts for our little angel. I was really happy and found out that it's their way of welcoming a new born baby until we adapted it gradually.

We also did this thing when few friends announce the birth of their family member. It’s indeed a rewarding experience being able to do things that make people happy.

Oh pain...

It's really hard to live far from our family especially when we are in dire need of a helping hand.My husband has everything I need but he has to work for us.That's one reason why I wanted to cry of loneliness the day I felt a very terrible pain.I thought that giving birth is easier than having an operation that no one benefits except the feeling of loss.When I gave birth to Shiela I never felt pain but contentment and happiness,I did it!

I hesitated whether to call home and cry over the phone that I am in pain and that I have no choice but to get up and look after Shiela and feed my hungry stomach.I was dizzy everytime I made an attempt but who knows?Marilyn and her family offered a hand even before I had it but they are farther now than before.She has been so good to me and my family that I realized that she's a dear friend in deed!
