We went directly to the Ultrasound section... tas dinala na lang namen results kay Doc... Mejo enjoy ko na TVS ah! Hahaha! Joke! Kidding aside... sobrang kabado pa din ako... feeling first time... pero excited sobra! andun sa tabi ko si Arvin.. hinihintay namen ung Sonologist... So eto na... nagsimula na... kadiri talaga ung feeling... pero kebs... nakita ko kagad ung SAC kung nasan si baby.. tas nakita ko kagad... may heartbeat na sha! Grabe! naluha luha ako! There's a miracle growing inside of me!! Sobrang high tech nung machine kase pinarinig pa samen ni Doc ung heartbeat niya! Hindi ko na talaga ma-contain.. talagang naiyak nako! inisip ko na nga lang pano kung first time ko ng makita si baby!!! siguro hagulgol ang gagawin ko dun sa delivery room! hahahaha! At isa pa sa pinakamagandang sinabi niya eh lahat daw ng signs of a healthy pregnancy eh kitang kita dun sa ultrasound ko! Wooohooo!!! sobrang happiness to the nth level talaga!!! although shempre... mahaba haba pa ang bubunuin namen... it's nice to know that we're starting it right! Based din sa result... I'm 7 weeks and 1 day pregnant na!!! Feeling ecstatic kame pareho ni Arvin! Walang kapares ang sayang un!

Search for my OB Gyn

Sobrang adventure ang ginawa namen today... We have finally decided na sa Chinese General na talaga ang manganganak... so ibig sabihin kelangan makahanap ako ng OB ko dun... after careful research... I was able to trim down my choices to 5... And sabi ko sa sarili ko.. kelangan ma-meet ko and get a feel of all the doctors.. shempre dapat comfortable ako sa kanya diba?! So hayun... punta kame CGH... daan kame Maxicare coz covered daw ng Insurance namen ang pre-natal check ups... sayang din un.. makakatipid din kame... hehehe... So nagtanong tanong kame kung sino accredited nila... meron kameng nakitang name na andun sa list ko... so sabi namen... puntahan namen sha... pagpunta namen sa clinic! sus!!! # 38 ako sa list?!!! goodluck naman diba?! pano kung sabay sabay kame manganak ng mga toh?? sang delivery room ako pupulutin neto?? hahaha... so sabi ni arvin... hanap na lang kame kahet hindi accredited... okay lang gumastos para naman kay baby... so pinuntahan namen si dr. # 2 and nagpalista na din ako... this time eh # 8 na ko... huwaw! mejo mas onti.. sabi ko try naten si dr # 3... sabi nila sobrang maalaga si dr # 3 eh... so akyat naman kame... waaaaaaah.... # 1 kame sa pila!!! hindi ko alam kung happy ba ako or kung ano.. eh pano... okay nga na # 1 ako meaning hindi na kame maghintay ng pagkatagal tagal... kaya lang baket ako lang ang pasyente??? na-question ko tuloy... magaling kaya talaga tong si doc???? hehehe... niweys... iba ung feel ko sa kanya kaya sabi ko kay Arvin... sige.. dito na lang... after ilang minutes... dumating na si doc! HALA!!! Mukhang masungit!!! ayoko na!!!! hahaha pero di bale... pag ayaw ko sa kanya... pwede naman lumipat eh... ala naman kameng contract na pipirmahan! hehehe... so hayun.. tinawag na pangalan ko... pagpasok ng room... naka-smile naman si doc kaya mejo na-calm naman ako... hayun... nagsimula na ang never ending questions.. buti na lang dala ko notebook ko! hahaha! buti na ung ready noh! hehehe... so kinwento ko na history... mejo nagworry sha nung nalaman niya na nagspotting ako... kaya pina-TVS niya ko kagad just to make sure... Asus! TVS! Huwaw naman diba?! kadiri talaga ung feeling... pero nung nakita na namen ni Arvin ung SAC kung saan andun si baby... grabeee... ibang pakiramdam!!! Totoo na toh... buntis na talaga ako! Doc prescribed that I drink Duphaston and Isoxilan plus the folic and vitamin C... ayun daw muna.. saka na ang iron at kung ano ano pang vitamins... Sabi ni Arvin gusto niya si Doc... makwela din kase pati she tries to explain everything using layman's terms.... Sha na ang OB ko! And alam ko aalagaan niya kame ni baby! Ü

Eto ung result ng TVS ko...

Proof of Life

Pagkagising na pagkagising namen kanina... dali dali akong nagpregnancy test! Had to go through the instructions a couple of times just to make sure I'm doing the right thing... right after lagyan ko ng ilang drops ung kit... pinuntahan ko kagad si Arvin... wanna share everything with him... kahet ano pa man ang resulta... after 3 minutes.. we checked on the kit... OH MY!!! 2 strips!!!! can't believe my eyes! We had to go through the instructions all over again para lang masigurado na hindi kathang isip lang ang magandang resulta ng test na un! I can't describe how I'm feeling during that time...halo halo na!! pero shempre dominant ung pagiging happy coz finally... our prayers were answered! Magiging nanay at tatay na kame in 9 months time!!! pero at the same time I felt scared... can we live up dun sa example na sinet ng mga parents namen??? ano kaya kameng klaseng magulang??? I hugged Arvin... and then I realized na everything will be alright... I have a wonderful husband and in a few months time... we will have our God's precious gift to us... our baby... who will be the reason for our sleepless nights... less gimiks/mall dates... less luho in life... but the very person who will make our family complete!

Here's the proof of life of the baby inside me... He/She's approximately 2-3 weeks now...

OB GYNe

Hindi nako mapakali... ala pa din akong hanggang ngayon... 7 days nakong delayed! Sugod na kame OB... kasama ko si lola Chit! madaming tanong si Doc... kelan huling nagkaron... anong BP.. weight.. medical history... etc... at pagdating ng huli... kelangan daw niya ko i-IE (internal examination!) Waaaaah... pero sige na... para naman kay baby un eh... (sana!) so eto na ang speculum... pasok! at eto pa ang daliri... pasok! nakakawalang gana! parang nakakapanghina... pero tiis tiss lang muna... so ano findings niya??? soft cervix daw ako??? isa sa mga signs ng pregnancy! Woohoo!!! pero medyo duda lang sha kase daw negative ang results ng pregnancy test ko... so she advised me to take another pregnancy test pero this time.. gamitin ko daw ung Medic na brand... tas pag negative pa din... magpapatransvaginal ultrasound na ko! Haaaaay... sana pregnancy test pa lang positive na! Ü

Anak

Anak
\a-nak\ noun
1. child
2. human offspring (either male or female)

Whatever the definition is... for me it's like the sweetest music playing in my ears everytime my parents address me, "anak".. it makes me feel special.. it gives me a sense of belongingness.. and most of all, it makes me feel LOVED.

Someday... in God's time..He will give us our own little bundle of joy... And I know I'm going to do the same... make our baby feel special and LOVED just by mere calling him/her, "anak"...

Isang strip lang???

4 days nakong delayed! Wohoo! Baka eto na ang pinakakahihintay namen! So we bought a pregnancy test kit... mukhang generic nga lang ata brand nun... so eto na... nagtest na ko... hintay... hintay... hintay... after 5 minutes... one strip pa din???? Waaaaaaaah... nakaka-depress!!!

Ang pictorial sa may Hundred Islands, Alaminos

Nakakapagod ang biyahe from Bolinao to Alaminos at shempre pa ordinary bus pa din ang sinakyan namen... antok na antok na ko... pero ung ibang kasama namen gusto pang magpunta ng Hundred Islands... magpapapicture lang daw... I asked Arvin kung pwede maiwan na lang ko sa isang mall dun.. uupo na lang ako.. kase sobrang pagod na ko.. ayaw niya pumayag... hindi naman daw niya pwedeng iwan ako kung saan saan.. sinusungitan ko na nga.. ayaw pa din... so kesa mag away kame... sumama na din ako.. mabilis lang naman siguro yun sa isip isip ko... halos padilim na din kase... Nakakawalang pagod din nung makita ko ung mga islands dun... everything was a first for us... Nakita namen from there ang Bolinao lighthouse (with the lights on, of course! woohoo!).. nakakawalang pagod ang very serene waters dun...

Pero shempre.. binulabog namen ang lugar kakapa-picture!

Na-discover ko lang din na meron palang resemblance si Arvin kay Piolo Pascual... heto proof ko! mejo chubby version nga lang! (luv you hun!) hahaha

At shempre pa.. magpapatalo ba ko?? ala nga lang akong kamukha dito pero pose din ako noh! Bwahahaha!

Pero these are the pictures that finally made us decide to buy one of those SLRs... kase Hunny discovered that he really has the talent to take wonderful photos... Ü partida ah.. simpleng old school digi cam lang gamit niya dito.. hehehe

The Secret Paradise

Since we were already in Lingayen... Arvin suggested na punta na din kame Bolinao! So nagtanong tanong kame sa mga tao dun... alang nakakaalam! sus! anu ba yan?! finally... nagpunta kame trade fair and someone finally answered our question... mga 1 hour lang daw from Lingayen pag may car...pero ala kameng sariling car! merong option # 2 ... ang sasakyan namen eh ordinary bus lang! YEHOO!!! Ordinary bus itu! The last time na ginawa ko yun was with my bestfriend, Chanda... when we went to Tagaytay... mga 10 years ago siguro... pero it was fun!

Pang backpackers ang beauty namen that day! tanong tanong lang sa mga taong medyo alam ang Bolinao... Sabi nila sakyan daw namen ang Boltex...para derecho bolinao... eh mukhang matagal pa dumating un so sinakyan na din namen ung pinaka unang bus na pa-bolinao! So heto na... nagsimula na ang biyahe..mga 2 hours din ata inabot ung biyahe namen.. eh pano ba naman... sa may Alaminos eh tumambay pa ang bus namen! ala namang pasaherong sumakay! sus! kakainit ng ulo! hehehe

So pagdating bolinao... shempre... papalampasin ba namen ang pagkakataon... picture muna... picture muna!! kahet kasagsagan na ng init eh pose pa din ng pose... hehehe

St. James Church

Bolinao Town Hall

Pagkatapos nun... nagtanong tanong na naman kame sa mga tao dun kung san ang white sand beach ng Bolinao! Hala! 1 hour from city proper pa daw! Waaaaaah! So nagrent na lang kame ng tricycle... para mejo mas mabilis.. hehehe... at sulit naman ang lahat ng lubak na nadaanan namen along the way nung makita namen ang Bolinao Cape Lighthouse! Sus! First time ko makakita nun! Kaka-excite! parang sine lang. hehehe

Matapos sa lighthouse.. mga ilang minutes na lang pala eh nasa Patar white sand beaches na kame! Woohoo! After 10 million years.. andito na kame! yey! At shempre hindi na kame nagpatumpik tumpik pa! Swimming na kagad itu! Medyo malakas ang alon dun... sabi ni Arvin.. isipin ko na lang daw.. nakaligo na ko sa China Sea kase ung Bolinao eh nasa dulo ng mapa na... ala ng susunod na island dun... Shempre white sand dun pero eto ung mga buhangin na lumulubog ung paa mo kaya medyo nakakangalay maglakad. hehehe... Ang kinagandahan lang dun... onti lang tao.. di tulad sa Boracay.. parang kame lang may ari ng resort. hehehe... kulang ung time that we spent there... we could have explored the caves... the falls... and madami pang iba... siguro someday... babalik kame dun.. to explore the secrets of this place they call Bolinao...

Ang sumpa

It was just yesterday when Arvin finally decided to take me to Lingayen, Pangasinan. Waaaaaah... So imagine how little time left to pack all our things and buy all the basic stuff... kaka-harass din.. hehehe... We were told that the bus will be leaving at 8:30 so we really had to wake up early to beat the traffic... imagine from Balut to Cubao!!! Waaaah... Buti na lang nakaabot kame.

At exactly 9:05am... the bus left for Lingayen and that's where another journey started...ÜÜÜ

At shempre pa si hunny... halos start pa lang ng biyahe eh natutulog na naman... (sleepy head! hehe) so I had to make myself busy kase kung hindi.. baka mainis ang asawa ko kase kukulitin ko na naman sha sa pagtulog niya. hahaha

Kakaiba ang mga rice fields na nadaanan namen! I was wondering talaga baket merong rice shortage dito sa atin eh ang dami namang lupang pwedeng pagtaniman... sayang... hindi na-utilize... well... hindi ko alam ang reason kung baket so we just leave it as it is...

Arvin told me that the trip would take aroung 4-5 hours... waaaah.. kakapagod maupo!

Anyways... libang libang na lang sa sarili when suddenly the bus stopped somewhere near Dagupan... waaaaah... sira daw ang aircon!!! ano bang bus toh??? Kelangan daw idaan muna sa terminal para ipa-check... Bigla ko tuloy naremember na mga 4 or 5 years ago nung papunta din kame nila Arvin sa Urdaneta... nasiraan din ang fx na sinasakyan namen! Talk about luck diba?! Weird lang kase parang everytime I get near Dagupan.. nasisiraan kame... meron ata akong sumpa sa Dagupan eh... ahahaha! So sa Dagupan terminal.. pinacheck nila... Waaaah.. wala daw fanbelt ang aircon! kelangan palitan! sabi ni manong.. pwede daw lumipat pero sa ordinary bus! sus! di na noh! mejo malayo layo pa ang lingayen sa dagupan... so hintay na lang ang beauty namen...

Sobrang kakainip!! eto na itsura namen habang naghihintay sa bus...

Habang eto naman itsura nung bus habang ginagawa ang fanbelt ang aircon niya!

Haaay! Natapos din after 10 years! Imbes na 4-5 hours lang ang biyahe.. mukhang inabot pa kame ng 6 or 7 hours pa ata un! Pambihira!!!

Ah basta! Isa lang ang sure ako sa ngayon... Ako at ang Dagupan... may sumpa! hahahaha!

Tips for a better life in 2008

39. Enjoy the ride. Remember this is not Disnew World and you certainly don't want a fast pass. You only have one ride through life so make the most of it and enjoy the ride.

Bonding namen ni mama

Natuloy na din kame ni mama sa Baclaran! Finally! We met 9:00am sa may Blumentritt and the journey began...

I had to count the number of stations before reaching Baclaran station. And if I'm not mistaken.. ika 13th station ang Baclaran.. whew! ang dami diba?! so you can just imagine how anxious we were habang papalapit kame ng papaplapit sa dulo ng LRT 1.

I've been bragging about Baclaran eversince I went there... Sus! Bagsak presyo naman talaga dun! If you find Divisoria prices cheaper... eh aba! ala ng tatalo sa pagkamura ng presyo ng bilihin sa Baclaran... Ang alam ko din kase ung mga stalls sa Divisoria eh sa Baclaran din kumukuha... There are 2 downsides when buying in Baclaran. First, if you want to get the lower price then you have to buy in wholesale.. meaning 3 pieces of the same style (pwedeng ibang color) or more. Second, bawal magsukat.. so if you're like me na hindi magaling sa pag estimate ng mga body sizes... it's going to be kinda difficult.. pero mind you.. difficult but very, very exciting. hehehe

Halos mahilo na si mama sa kakatingin dun.. sabi nga niya halos parang pare pareho na ung itsura ng mga bilihin, feeling ko resulta na ung sobrang excitement niya na sobrang bagsak presyo talaga dun. I got her a pair of jeans, a brown polo shirt and a cute neon green PRIMA crocs (shempre hindi original un... pero what the heck.. she's comfortable with it and un ang importante. hehehe).

At shempre.. magpapatalo ba ko??? I bought printed tube tops... Weeeeeee!!! I'm getting ready for Surigao na eh! hahaha... Pati.. getting ready na din ako for pregnancy... pwede din daw kase maternity wear un! ahahaha

Natapos namen ang paglibot sa Baclaran in 2 hours... Ambilis na namen, happy pa kame sa mga nabili namen! At dahel medyo bitin ung 2 hours shopping samen ni mama... dumerecho pa kame ng SM San Lazaro at nung bandang hapon.. nakapunta pa kame ng Divisoria at nakasama pa samen si Arvin mag window shopping sa 168 Mall.

Whew!

Kakapagod! Pero it was all worth it! Masarap mag shopping! este.. window shopping! Masakit sa paa pero at the end of the day... I know we will get to sleep with a smile on our face. hehehe! Ganyan kababaw kaligayan namen! Siguro nga what's really important is the time spent together with your loved ones.. kahet pa if means... maglakad lang at magtingin tingin sa mga paninda sa Baclaran! hehehe

Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo

I am no fan of Judy Ann Santos pero eversince I got married sobrang gusto ko talaga panoorin ung Sakal, Sakali, Saklolo. Sabi ng mga officemates ko sobrang funny daw so mas lalo akong na-curious. Kaya heto napabili tuloy kame ng DVD ni Arvin. Niloloko pa nga ko ni Arvin kase idol ko na daw si Juday! Hala!

Kinagabihan, hindi talaga ako napakali. Kelangan ko talagang panoorin and since hindi pa kami antok.. sinaksak na namen ang DVD ng SSS!

Okay naman ung movie... nakakarelate kame ni Arvin kung minsan.. siguro mas makakarelate kame kung meron ng kamen baby (sana soon na! Ü)... pero ang winner sa lahat eh si Bronson! Siya yung half brother ni Angie (Judy Ann) na mukhang batang kalye pero saksakan naman kung mag english... meron pang kakaibang accent! Sobrang hilarious niya! Aliw na aliw kame ni Arvin sa batang yun! Gusto ko nga ulitin dahel sa kanya eh! Sana merong part 3.. aabangan ko talaga career ni Bronson!

Sa mga hindi pa nakakapanood.. eto picture ni Bronson. hehehe Ü

Mama's special day

Today is my Mama's birthday! I'm super excited because I'm going to see her again after 5 days.. hehehe... I miss her.. as in everyday miss ko sha.. And aside from our usual texting, i make it a point to call her everyday... And it never fails to brighten my day whenever I hear her say, Hello Awis? hehehe

She's turning 53 today and one of these days... masasabi na naman niya na she's getting old and that she already looked old. Always remember Mama na kapag tumanda ka na, I am going to take care of you katulad ng pag-alaga mo sa amin ni kuya nung bata pa kami. You don't have to be afraid to grow old because I am going to be here for you. Kami ang magsisilbing gabay niyo sa pagtanda niyo. Pati kahit madami ka ng puting buhok, wrinkles at kung ano ano pa.. ikaw pa din ang pinakamagandang babae para saken! Happy Birthday, Mama! I LOVE YOU!

The Underground River

We were advised by the locals of Palawan that we must experience the beauty of the Underground River. So we had to forego our plan to go island hopping in Honday Bay since sabi nila we can do island hopping kahet hindi sa Palawan (so true naman diba?! with 7,107 islands!) But not the Underground River... Sa Palawan lang daw meron nun.. We got convinced! Ang dali nameng bumenta! hahaha

So the adventure started on an early Sunday morning (btw, that was Palm Sunday.), we hired a van to take us to the Sabang Port... before we started the journey.. we dropped by a convenience store coz we were advised by manong driver to buy insect repellant lotions... I got kinda confused... why in the world would we be needing those??? ang napipicture ko kase eh white sand... clear waters... cave... hindi ko lang maiisip kung papasok ang insect repellant lotions... pwede pa siguro sunblock diba?! Anyways.. took his advice and bought sandamakmak na lotions na din...

It took us 2 hours of bako bakong kalye before we got to the port.. grabee! as in rough talaga!!! feeling ko nakalog talaga utak ko... and as soon as we got there... hindi na kame nagpatumpik tumpik... nagpahid na kame ng off lotion! At shempre pa.. we took pictures...

So from Sabang port... we had to ride a banca to take us to a secluded beach where the Underground River is... grabee.. dami nameng nadaanan mga rock formation... sobrang feel na feel namen talagang nasa Palawan na kame... pagdating namen dun... picture pa din! just can't resist the beauty of the rock formation and the white sand... sobrang Palawan na Palawan!

Kelangan mo magpenetrate inside the Park to get to the Underground River tas before they will allow you to ride your bance (to take you inside the Cave), again you need to register and wear your life vest and a hard hat... Si manong bangkero will act as the tour guide na din. Creepy sa loob siguro kase takot ako sa dilim.. By the way, the only source of light that your boat has will come from the flashlight provided by manong bangkero... at kapag naubos na battery... goodluck na lang sa inyo! hehehe... Ang mga insekto sa loob! ala akong masabi! nakakatakot! Now I know why we need insect repellant lotions. Pero kakatuwa naman ang mga stalagmites and stalactites sa loob... at panalo ang mga kwento ni manong! hehehe Truly, it was an interesting experience... We'll do it again siguro after 5 to 10 years later pero sana pagbalik namen ala pa din pakalat kalat ng crocodiles and snakes inside the cave.

Butterfly Farm

The Butterfly Farm is located in Sta. Monica, Puerto Princesa. The entrance fee is at 50 pesos each. We were asked to watch a 10-minute video before we were allowed to enter the grounds.

It's a very delicate place.. i mean.. dealing with cocoons, butterflies and all... exactly the opposite when we visited the rough, adventure-filled crocodile farm.

It was so peaceful there...very relaxing although you always need to watch your every move because you might accidentally step on the butterflies since they are roaming freely within the screened area...

Paglabas mo dun sa screened area... there were also other animals but they were inside an acquarium... (buti na lang kase medyo nakakadiri sila... hehehe)

A TurtleA Gecko

Scorpions

The Crocklets

Our first stop in Palawan was at the Irawan Crocodile Farm. We hired a tricycle to take us to the farm. The entrance fee is around 40 pesos each which covers a quick tour (with a guide, of course!) until the area where they take care of the baby crocodiles.

You can see a very big skeleton of a crocodile at the lobby of the small building and this was captured in Palawan after it killed atleast one child.

I was really overwhelmed with the tanks full of baby crocodiles... Kinilabutan talaga ako... Ayaw ko nga lapitan ung mga tanks baka kase tumalon sila at kagatin nila ko... (there goes my imagination again, hehe)

Part of the tour is crossing a bridge under which were really bigger crocodiles... Haaay... was hesitant to cross the bridge kase feeling ko baka masira tas kainin kame ng mga hungry crocodiles... although we were assured na nung time ng visit namen eh busog sila... hahaha... (funny tour guide!) Arvin was also afraid to cross the bridge pero since ala naman kameng choice... Go na lang kame! Ngayon lang namen nalaman na the crocodiles can keep their mouths open up to an hour for heat regulation... they will hold their mouth open either to cool off or warm up...

After our short death-defying scene with the crocodiles... we were told na we can wander around the farm where a variety of animals were kept.

our encounter with the OstrichThe Lazy Bearcat
Bearded Pig Ang pa-cute na Owl

The farm was very photogenic.. kaya panay ang pakuha namen ng picture!! feeling prenups daw ulet! ahahaha

Our visit to the farm was truly unforgettable.. lalo na kay Arvin since he took the courage to have a photoshoot with a 3-year old crocodile (although meron naman rubber ung mouth so...???!!! ewan ko!!) ... As in kinarga niya ung crocodile!!! Argh! Just the thought .... as in ewwwwww... Taas kamay ko sayo, Hun!

Hindi naman halata na medyo nandidiri pa siya dito!!! Haha Medyo at ease na siya dito.. ehehe

I just had to post this pic just to let you know that I really did try to carry the crocodile but my efforts were futile.

Trip to Palawan

Our first trip to Palawan! The best way to spend our 97th day as hubby and wifey... haha! My second time to ride a plane! Haha!

We had an early morning flight so you can just imagine how early we had to wake up in order to make it in time for the the required check-in time... Excited kase kame! hehe.. I can't describe how I'm feeling that morning because it's my first out-of-town trip with my husband and to add to that... sa Palawan pa kame pupunta! Sobrang mixed emotions!

We had a stress-free plane ride from Manila to Palawan. Though there's one thing that I won't forget... It's the snack packs (Choice of coffee, tea or juice + Choco coated cake, rebisco and Happy Peanuts) that were served during our trip! Pambihira!! Walang katulad!!! Hahaha! Only in the Philippines!

When we arrived in Puerto Princesa Airport.. somebody from the Legend Hotel was already waiting for us and it took us not more that 15 minutes to reach the Hotel.

Discovered a lot about Palawan...Most of them speak tagalog...Tricycle fare costs P6.00 only... Hagedorn is the city Mayor... Malinis!!! bawal daw kase magkalat (just like in Singapore daw)... Mababait ang mga tao! Parang walang manloloko! haha...

Palawan is truly a PARADISE! We're going to buy a rest house there someday (kapag nanalo na kame sa lottery!) We truly found our haven in Palawan.
