i felt her kick for the first time! not just moving around, cuz i've been feeling her shift positions inside me for a lil while now. but i had my hand on my belly and i felt her kick my hand! so exciting! she's actually a real live person inside me! oh and my belly's been itching a lot more. my books say that it's because the skin is stretching a lot so i'm being really diligent in putting

We had our maternity tour at kaiser sand canyon in irvine today. Totally brand spankin new facility and it was so nice! We got in a lil late for the orientation but it was so cute how they gave everyone hand-knitted beanies for their babies! It was a really useful presentation but I can't believe how emotional I got when they discussed the breastfeeding. They really emphasize breastfeeding a

Oh my goodness! She's moving, she's moving inside me!!! It's the coolest weirdest feeling and I absolutely love it!!! It's so exciting to feel her alive in there and I love being able to kinda interact with her! It's not a kick specifically but I'll feel her moving from way low in my belly and then all of a sudden it's like she swims up closer to my belly button area and I can feel certain parts

today's the day! well, hopefully anyway! we have an ultrasound appt this evening and hopefully we'll find out if it's a girl or a boy! i've been leaning toward wanting a girl cuz i noticed when i imagine the baby growing up, i seem to be picturing a girl rather than a boy. i also can't think of any boy names i like. but of course, i just want it to be healthy. healthy and happy. i hope it

warning: gripefest ahead...my back's been hurting the last couple of weeks. i think it's the couch and sitting on it too much. it feels like something is being pinched on my lower back and it radiates down to my leg. i feel it when i'm driving in the car too. i could use a good massage.and then yesterday, my right lower belly started hurting. i thought maybe it was just gas or being hungry.

so guess how long we were at babies r us on sat? we arrived at 2:30pm for what was advertized as a safety expo to learn about safety features of baby stuff. when we got there, it was just a couple of tables and if we had questions, we could ask any of the workers. so that wasn't as useful as i thought it would be, but we thought it was a good opportunity to start registering. o. m. g. talk

anyone who knows me pretty much knows that i can't seem to get through any year without either a ticket or an accident. try as i may, i just can't shake this stupid pattern. and this year came pretty early. last wed, i was falling asleep on my way to work in the morning. i was actually almost at work on the side streets, but it was roughly stop and go traffic. it's that rhythmic lull that

do you remember OK from uci days? it was across the street, in the same plaza as the ralphs or albertsons (some sort of grocery store). for some reason, it just popped into my head yesterday and i wished for some. they served simple and cheap and somewhat fast korean bbq dishes. nothing fancy, but good for the college budget. i just looked it up and unfortunately, it's closed! how sad...

ahhhh, relief! every time i go to my closet, it's been such a struggle these last few weeks trying to figure out what to wear, especially pants. i had pretty much given up on my jeans, cuz there's no way i've been able to button them and still be able to breathe. but praise the Lord for my saving grace: Be Band!it's given me back my closet and i can finally just let my belly out and not try

okay folks, just got the word from the doc. official due date is aug 5, so that means i'm only 10 weeks along as of yesterday. he said that i'll change weeks every thursday. we had to go in for a 2nd ultrasound because there was a discrepancy between the date calculated through the LMP method (last menstrual period) and the size of the baby from the 1st ultrasound. the lmp method was putting

It’s been about a month and a half since I last blogged and there’s so much to catch you up on! It’s been a pretty busy month or so since we got back from Hawaii. So I wanna recap kinda chronologically. First of all, Hawaii was great! Weather was pretty good overall, although the first few days was really hazy due to the volcano on the big island and wind blowing the smoke over to oahu. I

going to hawaii next week and i was researching places we wanna hit up. guess what i'm most excited for? the fooooood!!!!! i found some sites that had multiple reviews of different restaurants and i swear, i was salivating by the time i finished reading the articles. some of what i'm looking forward to are:alan wong's for their delicious fine dining and awesome dessertsprawns at romy's shrimp

it's good friday, a day of fasting (all meals today should not add up to one full meal) and abstinence (no meat). i know i shouldn't complain, but geez, service last night for holy thursday was just really long. it was a multilingual mass, but instead of having different parts of the mass in the 3 languages, they chose to repeat the same things in the 3 languages. so it's like we heard mass 3

Judas's Bargain 14 Then one of the twelve, named Judas Iscariot, went to the chief priests 15 and said, "What are you willing to give me to betray Him to you?" And they weighed out thirty pieces of silver to him. 16 From then on he began looking for a good opportunity to betray Jesus. 17 Now on the first day of Unleavened Bread the disciples came to Jesus and asked, "Where do You want us to

this year, i sacrificed alcohol for lent. especially after the back to back bday celebrations of mina and jay, i just thought i needed to lay off the good stuff. i've been pretty good without it as there haven't been many friends' bdays these last couple of months, so i haven't been too easily tempted. but it's the family dinners that have made me crave a glass of wine here and there. and

it's my favorite holiday of the year and i'm sick. yayyyy... i went to the doctor because my eye is nice and swollen. he thinks it's inflammed because of fluid in the lacrimal duct? something like that. and it makes sense cuz my forehead hurts, like my sinuses are congested. anyway, no meds, he just recommended a hot compress to bring down the swelling.so i'm eating lunch now at panera. and

i participated in a football pool last week and there were 2 games that we were playing for at the same time. i don't really know what i'm doing. they just told me to pick a box for $10 each and they'll randomly write in the numbers on the side. i ended up with 1 & 9 and 1 & 8. i totally thought that the teams had to score exactly those numbers, so i was like, aughh, i'm not gonna win

i decided to try crest whitestrips yesterday. costco had a nifty coupon for them and cuz of the wedding and all, i decided to whiten my teeth. the reviews have been pretty great about them, and they're certainly cheaper than getting them professionally whitened. seemed like a good dealio. the instructions were easy enough. place strips on teeth, take them off in 30 mins. ok, so i did that.

i'm so happy with my credit score! for years, i've totally struggled in getting my debts down and all that. i never even really knew or thought that it would impact my life so much, but not having an immense amount of debt in the last few years has been a great load off my shoulders. and what great timing cuz we're looking for houses too. we're prequalified for a really good loan amount and

We're in Quezon City, a large city in Metro Manila. I've recovered quite comfortably and quickly from any jet lag I may have had. We went to SM-ShoeMart, otherwise known as the Mall.

some old journals that i wrote when i was in the philippines...10am, Tue, May 22We got here this morning after a 17 hour long flight. We lost a whole day due to the time change and all. We sorted all our pasalubon after breakfast and it just got hotter and hotter and stickier and sticker. But as we were sorting and labeling the gifts for all of our relatives and close friends, my thoughts went

my lola in the philippines is sick... she fell, broke her hip. but she's 85 years old, so it's too dangerous for her to undergo surgery. so the doctors just said, she'll just have to go through therapy. but she hardly walks around to begin with, so how would she be able to go through therapy? and she's got alzheimer's too, which i think got worse since the trauma of the broken hip. we're

two days ago, henry and i were, of course, discussing wedding logistics and just happened to be ironing out the day of the wedding schedule. we were trying to determine if 8 hours would be sufficient time for our photographer to capture the day's activities or if we have to hire her for a couple more extra hours. so we got to talking about getting ready in the morning, and where would i get

from my aunt's email fwd true story Brenda was almost halfway to the top of the tremendous granite cliff. She was standing on a ledge where she was taking a breather during this, her first rock climb. As she rested there, the safety rope snapped against her eye and knocked out her contact lens.

whoa! i can't believe it's only 2 weeks and 3 days til hawaii! it crept up so fast! i think we still thought it was far away, so we haven't really been booking our activities or felt the need to do so. on friday we finally looked at the luau and were going to book it "later" we said. good thing i just said, well, might as well do it now. and it was such a good thing we did! cuz the old

went to chris' bday beach bbq yesterday and i met iya's nephew and niece. such adorable kids! it was their first time at the beach and it was so much fun watching them experience the ocean for the first time! matthew is 2 and samantha is 1. at first they were scared of it, especially samantha. she's walking pretty steadily now, but on the sand, she was all of a sudden so unstable. she would

you know when you're just sooo proud of yourself for doing something challenging and getting over the difficulty and accomplishing your goal? i totally feel like that right now! i feel like singing that song from my fair lady that goes, you did it, you did it, they said you couldn't do it but indeed you did! when colonel pickering was congratulating professor higgins on accomplishing their task

so i'm working from home today. my butt didn't hear the alarm (it was on silent for goodness' sake!) and i was just so tired that i didn't even wake up until 9am! i called my boss immediately and just asked if i could work from home. people in my dept do it all the time anyway... so i'm glad my boss was flexible to say, oh yes, let's do that. so i've been responding nice and speedily to

okay, so i haven't blogged in a while (again) and my first blog after a while will be to tell you that my body's gone crazy on me. i guess it's been really really stressful the last few months and my body's finally hating me for it. 15 days ago, i thought i got my period. *you can stop reading now if you're starting to already get grossed out or if it's TMI for you. consider this your only

funny... [not haha-funny, but more like hmmm-interesting-funny] i went to church yesterday, and i was just feeling rather content with my life. for a good couple weeks now, i'd just pray and say, hey Lord, i'm pretty happy. i've been pretty happy for a lil while now. no major headaches or challenges, nothing to feel too guilty about or disappointed about in my life. i've been on the straight

i don't miss many days retreats. i think i've missed maybe 1 or 2 batches men's/women's combined since i joined in 1997. this recent men's batch fell on a relatively busy weekend, but i figured, it's men's batch anyway, i'm not quite as needed. i was frustrated that i couldn't be there because of some commitments i had made, but i knew the guys would be okay. but just as i anticipated, i

since i'm home, sick, guess what i did:~ went to doctor, only to have her tell me that it's viral and that i have to ride it out. i thought so anyway. but i wanted to make sure. so she prescribed me cough syrup with codeine. but it'll make me sleepy so that's for tonight. i also bought tylenol daytime for cold and flu. so that i could work. i think there's something that made me very awake

i'm soooooo totally sad and depressed right now. i just found out that my cousin in the east coast just gave birth to a stillborn baby. his name is Christian Rolando. she was supposed to have a c-section on thursday. instead, they're burying him on thursday. my heart goes out to them. the last time i visited them, she and lee were just engaged and they were preparing for their wedding.

i love my family. so... i consult a lot. i talk to my friends and family about my life and esp on what's up with my relationships. they're my therapy when i'm distressed, my counselors when i'm going out of my mind, they put a mirror in front of my face when i'm being delusional. so i was talking to my aunt about The One. she cracks me up. she goes, Wala yatang The One.

What we need is to love without getting tired.~ Blessed Mother Teresalove, real love, is soooo not what you see in the movies. like robby's post on relationships, trust, compromise, and committment are 3 aspects that are a part of relationships. and all three are not all that

it's an ever-complicated subject, yet something that ought to be so simple. but thoughts muddle it, and even feelings are quite fickle and unreliable. so how do you know? how do you choose and say "i love you... in spite of." the unconditional sense of it... at some point in the beginning, there must have been some sort of condition. at least something that kept you there in the first place.
