Monday Thoughts

So many things have been happening recently and I guess, things are so overwhelming. So many things have changed - my family lived in a new house, I got married, I transferred in a new office building- not work (which was easier), I transferred to my husband's house temporarily, I get to spend time with the Manipons only twice a week, sometimes, one and a half and a lot more. These I consider trials as the universe will always say, nothing's constant but change. I'm very much settled living temporarily in my in-laws but in a few we will be (or I will be... again) transferring in our own house. We made a visit yesterday in our house and it's already locked- sign that our move will be very soon.

Having that, I realized I need to get more organized- I need to learn more about time management - my weakness. I still need to know how can I balance work, friends, family (both sides), married life - and soon my kids and of course, myself. I guess prioritization is the key- and there is time for everything. I still have a backlog of to do things after our wedding, and guess what? My wedding dress is still in the box and have yet to be dry-cleaned. Our wedding accessories are still lying somewhere in my cabinet in our house in QC. Everything's still a mess and I need to get an amount of discipline to finish all those errands. 

It amazes me how (working) moms are able to manage everything and it reflects in what they do. Early this morning, I told my husband, "Tamad kumilos." But when I say that, it doesn't mean I just get back to bed and sleep. Well, for me, it's all about my phone and reading good stuff over the net that interest me - blogs or more specifically Jenni Epperson's blog. I found myself spending an hour just reading her blog and it amazes me that Jenni writes everything positive in her life - whether, beauty, travel, herself and most especially her family. I first knew about Jenni through StyleBible.ph. A stylist, column writer, a blogger, a wife and a mom, Jenni is a superwoman. She's probably very blessed that it reflects in her blogs and how she writes.



Jenni has inspired me to write today. This superwoman tells me through her blog that there is time for everything - imagine how he made time to write powerful blog entries despite work, friends and family. (not only I found out something in common - she moved to another house also!) Look for your passion, and get inspired. Love the things you do and there will always be time for everything. Manage your time and manage the changes until you live with these. Good vibes, everyone!

It's a Girl!

Finally after 30 weeks, Lester and I are happy to announce that we are having a baby GIRL! It took that long because we’re the kind of couple who’s obedient to the OB- have ultrasound when needed. Last time we checked, the OB did not confirm Little Javier’s gender though she told us that this little one is most likely a baby girl. Lester was still positive to have a baby boy- he still has 40-30% chance. But hey, it doesn’t matter- after all, we can still make another one :).  It must be the genes- my mom gave birth to 5 children- 4 of us are girls and our youngest is a boy (can you just imagine how Little C feels when he’s at home?). Lester was already dreaming of playing with his little one, teaching how to play PS, bike and all those boy stuff while I was already imagining cooking, baking and doing girly stuff with our little Javier- and I won! I remember when I was still on my first and second trimester, I was so into little things for girls that when I go to the mall’...

Project Hennessy: Gate

Okay, I must admit, I am still lazy to choose photos for our wedding photo album. These days, I've been spending time surfing the net to do my research on designing our house. Yes, my husband and I have been planning this since last year and finally, we're almost there. I learned a lot from my parents in planning our house. Just last year, 6 months before I got married, my family moved in to a beautiful home not far from our old house and a year before the transfer, I saw how my mom and dad prepared for this milestone. They spent weekends in hardware and home furniture shops and used their free time surfing the net to get ideas designing the house. While Lester and I were in the search of looking for house, my dad introduced me to Houzz.com . It's like a magazine full of house design ideas all over the world. I downloaded the app last year and did a little browsing. For a while, I forgot about this app and was busy preparing for our wedding. And time flew so fast, now ...

First Plane Ride

Do you remember the first time you rode the plane? Nowadays, it’s very easy for kids to experience their first plane ride as fares are cheaper. Thanks to budget airlines that once had a vision that every person can ride a plane once in their lives. I took my first plane ride when I was 5 years old. Lucky to experience that young, I was with my mom and my sister when all of us rode the plane for the first time to travel. I had no idea what was this travel is all about, even did not have any knowledge where we’re going. All I knew was that, we’re riding the plane and we were going somewhere far where my dad studied his Master’s degree. Not all kids, during that time, had that chance. And definitely, not all kids had the chance to travel to Europe so I am most thankful to my lola (who’s in US) who gave us this opportunity. Here’s my picture back then. We had a stopover in Hongkong Airport and this innocent kid asked her mom why we were getting down the plane. My mom answered...
