Can't Wait for the Weekend!


That's my 'inaanak' (godson), Nathan. He's so cute!

Time flies fast even when you're not having fun! It's Friday once again and I am really looking forward to the weekend because I want to rest my brain and sleep. My eye is still twitching like crazy! I think I have to catch up with some shut eye if I want it to stop; so I guess half of Saturday or Sunday will be dedicated to nappy times. Haha.

There's a 2-for-1 at Subway in Republic Plaza today. I went there after the gym but the line was crazy! Good thing I brought lunch to work today or I'll have to fall in line. I'll probably go back later for snacks.. but for now, my European sausages with brown/white rice will do.

Cla will be arriving here on 1 February, instead of 30 January. She has a stage 2 exam with P&G which we are all hoping she'll pass. I'm trying to find a weekend trip that we can go to on the weekend of 6-7 February. Penang looks interesting but I'm not sure if it's safe there. The bus ride takes 9-10 hours while the flight takes 2. Oh well, we'll probably decide later when I talk to her tonight.

Random thought on my way to work - feet accessories!

I saw two people in the MRT wearing anklets on both their ankles with toe rings on each foot. Their nails were immaculately pedicured and one of them has rhinestones on her footwear! I realized that majority of the time, people seated on the subway look down on the floor to avoid looking at standing people in the eye. This means that they look at feet a whole lot of time. Maybe these girls thought about this and decided to accessorize their feet? Is there such a thing as feet-over-accessorizing? I usually love a good pedicure and I sometimes wear anklets, just one at a time though. But is too much becoming a fad now?

Anyway, I want to greet my ever supportive friend, Lo, for reading my blog everyday! I think you're the only person who reads this! Haha. See you and the girls soon!

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 My s

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

Hospital Packing List

I’m an OC person when it comes to packing. I love checklists! When I was at home on bedrest, I had plenty of time to get ready for the delivery. I didn’t want to go to the hospital with incomplete things so I started researching online and mommy blogs on what to pack when D-day comes. I made this list 3 months before my due date. I was paranoid because I had 3 hospital confinements during my pregnancy. I wanted to make sure that everything was ready.  When my OB told me that I was being induced on my 37th week, I made sure I ran through everything with my husband and our nanny. I have very low pain tolerance so I didn’t want them asking me where everything was when I was recovering! 😂 I divided the list into 3 categories: Mommy Daddy Baby I had to make sure my husband had an extra pillow and blanket so his back wouldn’t hurt from sleeping in the couch. I was expecting us to stay longer than normal as I was being induced. He needed to be in tiptop shape for our baby gi
