Badminton Tournament.. Team International wins!

Our company just held its first OGA Badminton Tournament and yesterday was our championships. It was down to four teams: Rod/Gian, Joanna/Pat, Mike/Joie and Peng/Me. We were third in our ranking for the semi-finals and boy, did we want to win! :D I was not able to practice last Saturday because I had to deliver the cars cake, so I was quite nervous. We arrived at Serendra around 7:30PM and practiced at the basketball court while waiting for the badminton courts to open. I was practicing my new service style because I was not that comfortable with it yet. Anyway, our first game was with Joanna/Pat. My first games are always better than my second so even though I missed some shots, I did manage to hit quite a bit back. Scoring was best of three to 21, sudden death and we won the first two. It was a close game. I think we only won by a point or two. Beating them assured us for the second place and since Mike/Joie beat Rod/Gian in their match, we had to face them for the championships.

Our game with Mike/Joie was really a close one. They beat us on the first round and I was a total nervous wreck on the second. We were tied 20/20 and it was a good thing that we won the last point! The third round was a bit easier because the tension was released and both Peng and I were more relaxed. He played a great game, by the way. Everytime I knew Mike was going to make a smash, I'd just shout 'Bes!' then he'd hit it right back! Haha.

We won the championships! We even got a gold medal to show for it. :) We also received a deluxe massage GC from The Spa and a P1500 GC from Toby's. It was a great day!


I can finally buy my Speedo bathing suit for doing laps! :) Yey!

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...
