Mom's Sunday Treat

I splurged myself with this Canvas SB Trench Coat at Forever 21 yesterday.
It's already fall and the weather is getting colder that's why I decided to treat myself with this cute trench coat...my pre-Christmas gift huh. =)
Besides, the last time I had a new coat was right after I gave birth. Time to buy a new one. LOL!

I'm baaack!

I'm back! Yipee...hehe
After my last entry, wasn't able to write anything in my blog because I really got very busy packing things for our Manila vacation.
Then, our June 18 flight came. We're in Manila from June 19-June 30. July 1 when we got back here.
It was really a very short vacation but indeed a fun & memorable once again.
Wasn't able to go out of town though because of the typhoon plus the little boy got sick pa for 2 days (will write another blog for this).
Aside from the wedding ( the major reason why we went home) that we attended, majority of the vacation was spent with our families, relatives & some close friends and we're so happy about that.
I told hubby nga na even if it's one day vacation I'll grab the chance just to see my family because i miss them so much!
Take a look at our Manila 2008 Vacation in my multiply account.

To my blogger friends here, will try my best to visit your blog again starting this week...I miss reading blogs. I have couple of tags to do na rin!
Unfortunately, immediately right after we arrived home, the 3 of us got sick ( but we're all okei now, thank God!)
Then, right now we're very busy renovating our house. Just finished painting it yesterday. This week from carpet to hardwood floor naman sa living area. It's our 2008 major project for our house kasi. =)
Haaay, busy busy talaga.

Anyway, nice to be back.
Have a great week, friends!

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Before I was a Mom,
I never tripped over toys
or forgot words to a lullaby.
I didn't worry whether or not
my plants were poisonous.
I never thought about immunizations.



Before I was a Mom,
I had never been puked on.
Pooped on.
Chewed on.
Peed on.
I had complete control of my mind
and my thoughts.
I slept all night.



Before I was a Mom,
I never held down a screaming child
so doctors could do tests.
Or give shots.
I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night
watching a baby sleep.



Before I was a Mom,
I never held a sleeping baby just because
I didn't want to put her down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces
when I couldn't stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small
could affect my life so much.
I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.



Before I was a Mom,
I didn't know the feeling of
having my heart outside my body.
I didn't know how special it could feel
to feed a hungry baby.
I didn't know that bond
between a mother and her child.
I didn't know that something so small
could make me feel so important and happy.


Before I was a Mom,
I had never gotten up in the middle of the night
every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth,
the joy,
the love,
the heartache,
the wonderment
or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much,
before I was a Mom.

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!!!

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

I'm Happy!!!
Why? Finally, my own complete series FRIENDS dvd set.
My sweet hubby gave it to me as a pre-birthday gift (thanks, da!).
I'm a big fan of this hit show since I got here in the US.
Now, I don't need to record the reruns or even stay up late just to watch it.
I can watch it whenever I want to. =)

Time off

I decided to have time off from my work at home today.
It's been a month since I became a ChaCha guide and been working everyday ( yes, day & night if my time permits). I'm still a full time mom.=)
I love what I'm doing as a ChaCha guide, waiting for the queries to pop up from Info Seekers, search the ChaCha website, send the right answers and wallah, I'm earning!
I've been looking for a work at home job ever since and I considered this as a blessing because I would like to save some money for our Manila trip on June.

From taking a time off, I was able to....

- write my own blog
- read other's blog
- sign up a PayPal account
- search some paid blogging sites
- look for a pediatric dentist for my son

Finally, just chill out and spend quality time with the JLO's.
Have a great weekend everyone!
