august 1st

the only constant thing in this world is change...& i've been going through so many changes almost everyday.
my body is tired, the baby is getting heavier each day.lower back pains, leg cramps, headache's, spasms in my tummy & manageable contractions..all normal signs of cradling life within.

a month to go & i'd be a new mom..what would life be like? i often wondered..all i know, is that, it won't definitely be a bed of roses.more like a bed of thorns though...hehehe

i'd be humming lullabyes, making sure no mosquito bite's him.check on his diapers, so on and so forth...
potty train & wean him by six months, teach him nursery rhymes and other baby games, teach him to talk & walk, send him to school by 3 years old, send him to my sister to learn piano by 7, so on & so forth...

so easy to conceptualize...but really tough to do...

So help me God.

phases

I'm going though so many phases right now.
i'm still not what you call a grown woman and yet in three months time i'm going to be a new mother.
my hubby got a new job and new work pressures to deal with. meaning less time with me so,everyday gets lonelier.
i have a job i go to everyday, but being pregnant and all doesn't permit the privileges of going home late, had a night cap with my favorite tanduay on the rocks or go out with my single unmarried friends on some weekends & get wasted till the wee hours of the morning while listening to nonstop chatter on love, life & more love...

my neighbor just moved out of their house, and the other side of our house is a vacant lot. so whenever my hubby goes out of town for work, i have to stay at my mum's house, 7 kms. away.
now, the only thing i'm worried about is our dog. i have to leave her behind since, going through & fro my mum's with her in tow is difficult considering that i have to commute and all.

sigh..what a life!

What would you like to do today?

i've read somebody's blog today & he asks that question. he'd like to have a cup of coffee to wake up his soul first.
how i'd love to have some also, but since i'm 6 months pregnant, i'll just have to wait till my baby is born.
but what i'd like to do today, instead of sitting here at my desk at our office & waste company time, is to talk to someone i haven't seen for a very long time. whoever that person maybe, i'd like to fill in the gaps since we've been apart. to share the uncertainty of the future, to look back at the past & at present, to savor every moment we've spent.
to wake up tomorrow & feel refreshed ready to take up the loads of life where i left it yesterday

Holy Wednesday

Today, is Holy Wednesday.i still have work to do at the office now.
tomorrow offically starts our long weekend holiday
I was so happy with my orchid i got it from my mom's backyard.what so special with this violet flower is that it only blooms during the Lenten season.
It also has a sweet scent.i was so thankful it continued to bloom despite my lack of knowledge on how to grow orchids or any plant at all. honestly, i only have 4 plants in my backyard that i can truly call mine.hehehe i'm still collecting though.
I want to have a variegated bougainvilla.it's nice to put tea lights on it specially during Christmas season. my mom has one, but we don't know how to 'reproduce it" it has white flowers & has white streaks on its leaves.that's why it looks nice on evenings with tea lights on it.

May we all have a fruitfull Holy Week.

A burglar & my puppy

Happy New Year Everyone!
My hubby & i are still trying to settle down in our newly rented house.
it's only our second month & many changes already took place.
like last Jan. 06 , 2006.
at 2:30 am , someone uninvited climbed our roof & tried to enter into our house making me restless & nervous.
thank God, that i didn't lose my wits during those moments.
i called my neighbor for help.
he happens to be our nearest family friend.
my hubby was outside the city during that time, since his work is there.
he really went home that night to keep me company.

i slept at my mother's house a week after, but only went there after i've been to our house & check out our place after work.
this week though, i'll have to force myself to stay for the night, to save money.
nevermind if my hubby gets home only on weekends.
it's more expensive going to & fro my parents place to sleep there & go back to our house to check things.
I'll just have to be more cautious & alert during the night.
prevention is indeed better than cure.

we have a new puppy. we named her muffin.
but i can't expect her to be that helpful with burglars yet.
she's only a month & 2 weeks old. really cute.
got her just last saturday.
at least i won't be bored though, even if i only have a puppy for company.
sigh...tsk...tsk
