Back and Blogging Again

And after two months, I’m back blogging! I can’t say my readers missed this! First of all do I have a list of readers? Haha! Why did I stop for a while? As much as I want to write, my time (or our time, mine and my husband’s) was eaten by all these stuff we need to do for our house. The busiest days of our lives so far, even busier than preparing for our wedding, we were doing house chores here and there, shop for appliances, kitchen stuffs, furniture and so far, our biggest splurge, window grilles and gate. We needed to finish everything within days as we wanted to transfer before our birthday and we did it! Imagine, every weekend, we spend in the supermarket, department store and, can you just imagine, HARDWARE! I have already memorized prices of cement, sand and gravel. Even learned to be smarter, stainless steel is way too expensive, do not be blinded by the cheap ones! They aren’t stainless, they are chrome coated! I’ve learned to canvass, and look for the cheap ones. If you think buying a house and lot ends with just that, it’s not! There’s a lot that you need to improve and a lot of time and effort is needed.

My husband and I are lucky to have parents who are there to help us with this journey. This wouldn’t be possible for working couples starting our own if they’re not there. Lester and I really appreciate their help, learned a lot and slowly settling down. But more thankfully, this house is a blessing from God. Few weeks back, we had our house blessing and we were able to welcome a number of relatives and friends in our house. The house isn’t fully complete, but it’s decent enough to invite people in.

Today, another blessing is about to start. We’re finishing our garage and dirty kitchen (our little Honda will be very happy!) Sharing how this little space made it thru its journey to be a home :)


PS. I’m trying to gain my blog inspirations back. I still have a backlog to share. I’ll try my best to post as much as I can. Happy reading! What a good Monday to start :)

Cooking Fever: Gising-Gising

I cooked this once for my husband to satisfy his spicy taste. I first tried this in Recipes and found it yummy. :) Ingredients: Garlic, chopped Onions (Red), chopped Baguio beans, chopped into pieces Ground Pork Red Chili Pepper, chopped Green Chili Peppers (Siling haba) Coconut milk Salt, pepper and soy sauce to taste 1. Saute onions and garlic. Add the ground pork. 2. Add a little bit of soy sauce to taste.     3. Once the pork is cooked, add Coconut Milk. For this recipe, I used the instant ones (just add water!) but I think it'll taste better if you use those you can buy from the market.  4. Add Baguio beans (not string beans!) and all the chilis - depending on your taste. I used less red ones but separated my share because I'm not really into spicy food (except sisig!) 5. Put salt and pepper to taste 6. Serve This is my first blog to write about recipes so please pardon my instructions. I really do not know...

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...

All for Her

Thirty One weeks and we are almost there. I am still not sure if I’m already well-prepared for the delivery. We only have a few weeks to get stuff for our daughter but it seems to be not easy to look for time to do that. Lester and I have a whole day (at least 12 hours awake) at work and school (for my husband) and by the end of the week, all we want to do is rest at home. We’re going through a lot of big decisions lately and believe us, it’s emotionally and financially exhausting. Decisions that we need to consider our little child as well. It was different when we were just two. All decisions were easy, and it was just ourselves that we take responsibility. But I realize, it’s a journey and a hurdle that couples go through and as parents, we should be able to handle this well. And decisions we will make shall always be for our daughter. Anyway, you’re probably wondering, what’s that decision we need to make? It’s about breastfeeding! For almost all moms, it’s a no-brainer, we ...
