It's our First!

I've already drafted a blog post for our first wedding anniversary trip to Coron. I usually make my draft through word pad but since our pc crashed along with a lot of my files and pictures, I have no choice except to start from scratch. So on to my story... I'll try to make it short as much as possible since I don't want to bore you with some of my nonsence blah blah. =)

We celebrated our first anniversary last December 8. Since it was a holiday of obligation, we chose to just hear mass at the same church we were married. Our celebration/vacation though, was spend in Coron last December 17-19. It was a double wedding celebration with our couple friends, it was their 6th year.

Anyway, since I'm pregnant and was having an afternoon sickness and motion sickness, my husband almost decided to cancel this trip. I was adamant since it might be our last time to travel before we have a baby. Due to the limited time, we decided to have an island hopping packed itinerary. We arrived in Coron at noon and stayed at Rudy's Place (I don't really like the place but it's cheap and we just took baths and sleep there anyways so I guess it'll do. Their food on the other hand is superb! Sarap!).

Our first stop was Kayangan Lake. The climb up was a challenge since it was slippery and steep but I like to think I was fit that's why I had few difficulties. The view is amazing, worth the climb. It's my favorite among all the islands in Coron. We went to Twin Lagoon next but the boatman and our guide told me it'll be hard for me and it was (per my husband) so I just stayed at the boat.

The next day, we're off to Bulog Dos Island and Malcapuya. I so love Bulog Dos! It was just a tiny island but the view is so breathtaking! Malcapuya is similar but just bigger. Check out my lomo pics at my other blog http://mylomolove.blogspot.com/2011/01/coron.html . To sum it up, I've been to a lot of beautiful beaches in the Philippines. So far, Coron is the best for that relaxing beach life we're all looking for. What makes it more amazing is because I spend it along with the most important person in my life.

Lechon de Aso

I meant to post this last 01.01.11 but our PC was busted. What a way to start the new year. Luckily, I was able to get myself a new netbook. Hooray! I'm back to blogging!

Every new year's eve had been a terrible experience for my dogs (I think this applies to all pets) with all those firecrackers and extremely loud sounds. We don't have any problem with Britney (7 years old) since she just stays at the corner of the house silently trembling but it's a different story for my other dog, Bambi (10 years old). She can't stay at one corner, she pees everywhere, knocks off all the trashcans and vases she can see. We tried comforting her but we end up having tons of scratches. Anyway, after 10 years we just got tired of her. She just ignore her her and let her do whatever she wants since it's just once every year.

At 12:00 midnight, we all went outside to watch the fireworks. Yada yada, boom boom here, boom boom there. When we got back inside, my parents were laughing so hard because they found Bambi at a very unusual spot in the house... at the top of our dining table trembling but otherwise looking calm. She looked so cute even if she's dirty! My fat dog even looks like a substitute for lechon de leche. Good thing she didn't eat any of food. Hahaha! I just adore my dogs!

Farewell 2010!

The year 2010 had been a roller coaster full of emotions for me: adjusting to married life, reality of a grownup, living away from my family, and the joy of pregnancy.

All I can say is Wow!

I have a few drafts of blog topics, experience, pictures that I'm dying to share. I'm hoping that I'll be able to blog more frequently next year.

Anyway, I'm now getting ready to say goodbye to 2010 and hello to 2011!!!

Cheers Everyone!

Trying Hard

I've been gone for too long. I missed blogging. I normally blog during the afternoons but too bad I've been having "afternoon sickness" due to my pregnancy. I'm not complaining by the way. My OB even said at least I should be thankful that I have these sickness and symptoms instead of having treatments due to infertility. She had a point. From then on, you can never hear any complains from me again.

Anyway, I'm already on my week 13 and I'm thankful I'm feeling a lot better. My only concern is I don't look pregnant! My tummy's still too small according to most people but I why do I feel it's already big? And does my baby gets enough nutrients from me?

I've posted my baby bump above, at 13 weeks. It's still acceptable to look at since I don't have (hopefully won't have) stretchmarks yet.

I think there's something wrong with the weighting scale. It says I gained just 2 lbs in 3 months but my tummy says otherwise. All of my jeans are way too tight that I've been wearing mostly leggings and garterized shorts/pants (no maternity clothes please). I want to shout to the whole world that I am pregnant without being too "vocal" about it but I always end up convincing them that I am. Hehehe.

My hubby told me not to try to hard to look like one because eventually everyone will notice. Well, I can't help it really... just too excited, I guess.

Enough of the shallowness once again. The most important thing to consider is not really what I would look like but how my baby develops. I just wish that despite how I weight during my pregnancy, my baby will be healthy. Thank God I don't like eating junk food and sweets anymor. But no matter what kind of eating I do, I still can't seem to grow big for my baby.

Hay... I'm hoping my next trimester would be better.

Hating Me Won't Make You Pretty

I don't really have a specific person in mind whom I want to tell this to but it goes to all haters out there who seems to have pure "envy" flowing in their blood.

Sometimes, I can just be amazed by how a single person can ruin the festive mood of a whole group. Why can't they just be happy for once in their lives? Emotional vampires as they say.

Hay... this is one of my shortest posts for now... since I'm carrying a life inside me, I really want to stay away from these suckers. Thank God I have my husband, our families, and best friends who shower us with all the positive vibes and happy thoughts we need.
