Monday Blahs

I HATE MONDAYS.

Two days for weekends are really now enough. My brain is still tired! Okay, so sleeping late last Friday and Saturday didn’t help; but still, I hope they make Mondays a part of the weekend. Hehe.

I can’t believe it’s the last week of January. Birthdays are coming up, so it mean it’s.. SHOPPING TIME!! Good thing it IS the end of the month and pay checks are on the way. I’ve been wanting to go to Bugis Street for quite some time now to buy new clothes but I’ve been stopping myself because I promised my bank account I’d save some money for Cam’s debut. I’ll probably just wait for atsi to arrive and then we’ll just go together.

Speaking of atsi, we’re thinking of watching a play here when she arrives. Alliance Francaise Theatre is showing, L'Avare (The Miser) by Moliere. It costs around S$30 –
quite reasonable. It’s only from 3 to 6 February so we hope to catch it on Friday night. The play will be in French but with English subtitles. I’ve researched a bit about it. It’s a comedy based on a stingy old man whose children are trying to escape his miserly ways. I hope it’s a good one!

We finished our grocery shopping for the week yesterday and we reached S$40!! I guess the strawberry gelato I bought somehow escalated the cost. Haha. It’s really delicious though. I’ve been craving for something sweet that isn’t chocolate so this should fix that. We also cooked our lunch for today and marinated some chicken legs with BBQ sauce, my mommy’s recipe! Yum! I’m thinking of cooking that tonight. Hope I get home early today. Oh, and it’s Monday Night Laughs at Starworld today. Another reason to go home early…. Whatta life! Or rather, whatta NO life! Haha.

Over the weekend, we had a BBQ party at home. The girls cleaned the house and the guys cooked the food. Afterwards, we all watched 2012 using Kuya Danny’s projector. It was fun! At least we did something new. It made me miss my family’s holiday BBQ. We always go to Tagaytay in December. We rent a house for a couple of days and spend them relaxing and grilling. I love my mom’s BBQ. It’s really tasty! Hope she makes some for me when I get home. :)

Anyway, I’ve submitted my revised programme to my boss already. Hope he gives it the final approval so we can send it to the printers today. Let’s keep our fingers crossed!

Hospital Cheat Sheets

Hello mommies! Sorry I have been busy trying to balance spending quality time with my baby, the pastry shop @joaniescupcakes and our newly launched online store, Petit Bébé PH.  Check out our IG and FB pages if you have time, @petitbebeph. 😍 Anyway, a lot as been asking about the hospital lists that I made for my delivery so here they are! As some of you might know, I am quite OC about paperwork and I have no pain tolerance so I really wanted to make sure that my doctors did not miss anything about my medical history. I was also confined 3x during my pregnancy. This is why I wanted to make sure that my list is detailed so we could avoid mistakes. Information Sheet This is the information sheet that I made. I consulted my OB prior to my delivery about the things that will be asked during check in/ labor. The text is RED are things you need to fill out on the way to the hospital as you might not have enough time to print them when you start contracting. Birth Plan ...

Eating at Home

Reg and I have been trying to lose weight to better control our sugar intake. We ate out a lot when I was still pregnant so he gained "pregnancy pounds" as well. Haha! I have been going to the supermarket to buy 3 weeks worth of dinners the past 2 months and I have been making weekly menu plans to help us achieve our goal. Honestly, I have always felt lazy to do this menu because the meats available at the grocery varies every week. I tend to buy what looks good so I can't stick to 1 set of menu come marketing time. First, let's start with the supermarket. We are closer to Unimart Greenhills but I feel that prices there are higher and there are times when their stock delivery is delayed. I always end up not being able to buy everything that I need. In order for this menu planning to succeed, I now go to my trusty Landmark Supermarket in Trinoma. I used to shop there when I was still single but I stopped going when I moved after getting married because I hated the ...

On Being the "Good Quality Crab"..

When I was in high school, I watched this movie entitled, “The Joy Luck Club”. I think I was with my mom and sisters when we watched it. The movie tells the story of four women who escaped their difficult lives in China, went to the US, had daughters who all seem to inherit their weaknesses and how they all were able to rise up to their shortcomings and get better. There was this part where everyone was having dinner and they were eating crab. June, who thinks her mom always compares her to the beautiful Waverly, got angry at the latter because she thinks that she is never good enough. Her mom told her that it’s not true and uses the sample of the crabs they had for dinner to emphasize. At the table, Waverly immediately gets the claw, which is the best part but June gets the smallest piece because she wants others to get the better ones. Her mom says that it’s because June has a good quality heart. It has been a running joke in our family that my eldest sister, Cla, is June because she...
