Bali Vacation Day 1

Lester and I wanted to have our honeymoon out of the country and the place that only came in our minds was Bali. Located in Indonesia, Bali is an island and a province where most of the population are Hindu. And that made my husband also agreed to go to Bali since their food is pork and not beef (most parts of Indonesia are Muslim so pork is rarely available).

We stayed in Centra Taum Seminyak Hotel. We kind of splurged for our accommodation. The hotel is nice, although an old building, interiors are clean and the rooms are really big. We added a little to get a poolside view for us to enjoy the balcony. Bali has lots of reasonable-priced hotels that are really great. If you're patient enough, your will find villas (those you will have your own pool) and pay as low as Php 4,000 per day. I was able to score one, but unfortunately, payments weren't convenient so I chose Centra Taum instead. Lester is not really a beach lover so we're okay not having beach front. We're in Bali for the culture and the rest of the beautiful places there, anyway. (And still, the Philippines has the best beaches in the world!)







We tried Bali's Illy's Restaurant for breakfast since we came early in the hotel for check-in. Kind of pricey but it's still okay to try. After check-in, we strolled around Seminyak and looked around the shops. Leather is also famous in Bali. They have good quality authentic leather that's worth your Rupiah. We also tried their Bakso- street food in Bali. Not really our taste and unfortunately, we were trapped with the price.

Worries of a Soon-to-be-Mom

Gestational Diabetes- that’s what my OB has been suspecting that might have two weeks ago when I had my check up. I’m guessing it was the mangoes, juice, and white rice and I thought the amount I was eating was just enough to satisfy my craving. But it seems not- though my endo was not really worried about it because my blood sugar and urine tests show normal results, my OB still insists I might have one. I was even thinking my OB is just over-acting on the situation and even still asked me to see the in-house endo in the hospital where I will give birth. It worries me a lot though – I see my daughter getting bigger everyday. I feel very normal though – I am not a big preggo mom. But with that suspicion, I needed to prick my finger three times a day for two weeks to check my blood sugar. All of these foods are very tempting but I’m doing this for my daughter. With that saying and to tone down the stress level, I’m avoiding hearing negative vibes around me- that I need to do this a...

Little Big Things: Baby Needs

Little Javier is halfway on its journey to see the world. Just like preparing for a wedding and moving to a new house, baby preps are just as exciting. I’ve been doing my research lately and my husband and I never get tired of window shopping for baby needs. Here are my top picks that I can’t wait to get for my little one: 1. Breast Pumps Breast milk is still best for babies. Being the eldest, I’ve learned how to feed my siblings while they were young except of course, breast milking them. As far as I can remember, they were (or we were) Promil kids and I was very used to mixing the formula powdered milk and water. But nowadays, breast feeding is very well-promoted. Even hospitals do not allow formula milks for new-born babies. I’m setting aside an amount to invest for breast pumps (and the accessories). After all, you’ll be saving a lot for formula milks. Planning to get myself a manual pump first – just to check and then later on, get an electric one. I’m a workin...

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...
