Mount Pulag Preps Part 2

Reg and I spent labor day at the mall because we wanted to finish our checklist. I was happy to find that almost all the shops in Trinoma were on sale!

We first went to a shop called BaseKamp because I was there last week and their Vasque Hiking Shoes were at 50% off. When we got there, I was really turned off by their staff. I asked what were the sizes and colour available and they acted as if we were such a bother. I asked where the shoes are so I can show them to Reg and they were so rude in answering us. Apparently, the shoes are at their warehouse downstairs and are scheduled to be pulled out to the main office but according to the saleslady, they can still be sold. Their salesman there especially was making irritated faces. My eyebrow was already up when I asked him to get our sizes. I mean, c'mon, do not be in the service industry if you do not want to serve. While waiting, I wanted to check out the store beside it, called Mountain Hard Wear. We tried getting the saleslady's attention to say that we will be back but she pretended not to see us so we just left. It was a blessing in disguise that we did because lo and behold, the store beside it had Columbia Hiking Shoes on sale!

Columbia Original Sierra Winter Hiking Shoes

We got these at more than 50% off. The original price was Php7000+ but we got them for just Php2000. Only men shoes were on discount so I was lucky that their size 8 was perfect for me. The shoes are mid-high cuts, have very comfortable lining and are waterproof. They even came with an extra pair of laces! The tongue is a little stiff so we still have to break them in. :)

Day 1 of shoe breaking (?). Everyone in the shop reacted with laughter as soon as I came in because I looked funny!

Mountain Hard Wear and Columbia Waterproof Jogging pants.

We were also able to find a pair of jogging pants each. Reg got his from the same shop as where we got our shoes and I got mine at The Travel Club. His pants are water resistant and mine is waterproof. I just need to wear leggings inside because it has an umbrella-like fabric lining. :)

Tonight would be our second training day. We'll be wearing our new shoes! Hope we don't get blisters!

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
