I woke up to news that Michael Jackson just died of cardiac arrest and Farah Fawcett just lost her battle with cancer. It’s a weird start to a birthday.
I haven’t really thought about my birthday that much and may have subconsciously pushing it at the back of my mind because I’m still in denial stage. I know eventually I will embrace being 30 but right now I’m still coming to terms with it. I feel like I was just 25 yesterday and then all of a sudden I’m 30! Whoa!
Pres. Obama whacked a fly with his super speed reflexes during an interview.

Well, technically he won’t be able to see clearly right away. Right now I’m just listing down stuff we’ll need – that’s probably mostly diapers, diapers, diapers since I can’t buy too much stuff coz I won’t be able to bring all of them back to Singapore.
By this time, my tummy’s really heavy, it’s impossible to switch sleeping positions. Imagine a plastic cup. Poke a hole at the bottom of it and then put one of those heavy paper weights inside. That’s kinda how I feel.
All the clothes that I brought home with me no longer fit too and I really don’t feel like buying new clothes since I’ll be giving birth in a month and I don’t plan to stay this size that long. So I’ve been wearing my mom’s shorts and my dad’s shirts for a few weeks now. That’s also why I haven’t been going out that much since I basically have nothing to wear and I think I walk like a pregnant person already. I’m a liability. Read More →
Here’s an interesting article I came across with about natural birthing techniques.
More than 1,000 mothers-to-be took part in the Swedish trial, thought to be the first significant analysis of the efficacy of such methods in labour.
They attended one of two classes: the first taught natural coping methods, the other emphasised pain relief.
But the BJOG study found no difference in the use of epidurals between the women when they went into labour.
Just over half the women in each group ultimately opted for the spinal analgesia which reduces or eliminates the pain of contractions.
I guess it all just depends on the woman’s threshold for pain. Read More →
I still can’t believe I’m going to give birth 8 weeks from now. I still have to get used to the thought of me as a mom. Me? Mom? Exciting and scary. But I’m sure everything is going to be just fine (if I make it through the pain of labor, that is).
Here’s a picture of baby Luke. We’re thinking of changing the spelling to Luc to give it some French flair like my name… just a thought – nothing final yet. Read More →
Hey, friends! I’m back in Manila. I don’t have a local number yet though. This baby’s getting heavier by the day!
Luke just got an early present from Lola Suj. A blue Bugaboo Bee! Handling and maneouverability wise, this one takes the cake. I really liked the black one but decided against it as it probably wouldn’t be a wise choice for Singapore climate. The yellow looks really cheerio but the sales person told us that most of the units they sell are yellow. Now, we don’t want Luke to be driving the same color as everyone else. At least our son’s got nice wheels (while his parents are still taking the train, boohoo). According to its description, this stroller is good from infancy to about 4 years.

I dunno if it’s just all the pc’s that I have access to – maybe because the cookie is set or something but when I visited the home page of the National Geographic Magazine, it’s my shot that’s displayed on the upper left corner which links to the Daily Dozen. I guess it’s no biggie, but it makes me kilig and excited.
A really heartfelt thank you to everyone who voted for my shot – especially to those who invited their other friends to vote for me and to those who didn’t know me and still voted. I know there are a lot of great/er shots in the set and if you’ve already voted you would have noticed that the odds of me getting the top vote are slim but I still really appreciate all the support. Voting is until May 4. Of course, still wouldn’t hurt if you still vote for my shot. Anything is possible, right? Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Wish you luck with the baby
