Christmas Schedule
I also haven't done my groceries and I'm starting to have a very hectic schedule and I don't know when can I squeeze this on my schedule not to mention I also need to consider hubby's schedule since I can't go to a supermarket without a car.
New addition in the family
I got more excited for the coming of my baby tuloy. And to be honest, I got inggit with my nephew kasi nakikita na nya at nahahawakan ang baby nya... though he keeps on touching my tummy naman dahil excited din daw sya sa paglabas ng baby ko. he he he

Week 30 of my pregnancy

You may feel as if you have been pregnant forever at this point. It might be hard to imagine being pregnant for another ten weeks, but your baby still has a lot of growing and developing to do! By this time, your baby's crown-to-rump length is a little over 10.8 inches and the total length of your baby is about 17 inches! Your baby weighs about 3 pounds now. Your uterus can be felt about 4 inches above your bellybutton. Your uterus, baby, placenta and the amount of fluid will get larger over the next ten weeks. You should be gaining about a pound a week at this time.
Because you are getting larger, you are probably becoming slower and clumsier. You should try to be careful to avoid dangerous falls. Good posture when sitting and standing can help you feel better during your pregnancy. You also should be rolling over on your side to get up after lying down because your muscles have stretched to accommodate your growing uterus.
Even though your baby is cushioned by the amniotic fluid, she can feel and respond to pain. Your baby now does `practice breathing` to get ready for life outside of your womb. If you have an ultrasound at this time, you will be able to see this. If your baby swallows amniotic fluid down the wrong passage, she will still get hiccups that are noticeable by you. If your baby were born at this time, she would be able to keep herself warm.
The skin begins to smoothen as fat deposits accumulate underneath. The fat insulates and is an energy source.

Preparation for the coming of my baby
Grabe it was 9 items only but the price is so mahal. Natatawa na nga lang si hubby kasi wala pang damit don and wala pang crib at stroller si baby, though I plan to buy stroller later na lang siguro....

Week 29 of my pregnancy
Babies that are born prematurely can be very tiny. Even a baby that is only a few weeks early can be very small. Your baby will grow rapidly from now until week 36, and then at a slower rate thereafter. Generally, boys weigh more than girls at birth. The average baby's birth weight at full term is 7 to 7.5 pounds.
You might notice some leakage of colostrums from your breasts around this time. Colostrums is a sticky, watery substance that provides your baby's first food if you choose to breastfeed. Milk does not come in immediately after delivery and colostrums is high in calories and enough for your baby's first few days of life. Your baby is stimulating the production of colostrums. The baby's body is ensuring that there will be a readily available food supply after delivery.
Your baby will continue to open and close his eyes in the womb and may be able to see silhouettes of objects or even people in the right amount of light. Your baby should be moving many times throughout the day. Some of your baby's movements will be predictable and if you notice a decrease in fetal movements, you should lie down and do a fetal kick count. You should feel your baby move approximately ten times in an hour. If you do not notice the proper amount of movements, you should contact your healthcare provider.
Research has shown that your baby is not only able to hear, but also able to recognize your own voice. This shows that your baby can already learn, remember and recognize.

Visit to Paseo de Sta. Rosa
After we had our very late lunch, we went to all for less store to buy crocs which I can use in the office since they don't allow an open shoes, I'd like to have closed pair of shoes, unfortunately they only have limited colors and design and they don't have the color of the one I liked which I first saw in Glorietta a week ago. We went out of that store empty handed.
Originally we plan to stay at Starbucks to kill time and to relax but since it's already late we just forgo this plan and just agreed to drop by the wet market to check if there's any fresh seafood that we can cook for dinner.
On our way to the wet market we pass by a newly open gun store which we did visit since both hubby and I has a love for guns and it's accessories. We both love target shooting and we love to compete with each other =). We find the price so expensive and we are not even sure if the quality is okay since they won't allow us to touch and inspect the guns. So, when we arrive home I search the net and was able to find a very good site where I can buy gun some accessories and apparels for hubby as my Christmas gifts. The site was called TacticalPantsUSA they have wide range of products, from ">gun accessories, pants, polos, shorts and jumpsuits which hubby really wanted.
Passing Grade
The size of baby JM showed on the ultrasound is also commendable, ako lang daw talaga ang malaki and not the baby he he he

Week 28 of my pregnancy

Blood vessel in the umbilical cord. For several months, the umbilical cord has been the baby's lifeline to the mother. Nourishment is transferred from the mother's blood, through the placenta, and into the umbilical cord to the baby. If the mother ingests any toxic substances, such as drugs or alcohol, the baby receives these as well!
You will probably begin visiting your caregiver once every two weeks. Week 28 is an important week for testing. You will probably be having your glucose tolerance test, an iron level test and if you are Rh negative, you should have an antibody test. The antibody test will determine if you and your baby will have any reactions to each other's blood differences. The glucose test will check for gestational diabetes.
Your baby's brain continues to develop and is now forming the folds and grooves of a fully developed brain. The amount of tissues within the brain also continues to increase in large amounts. The hair that covers your baby's scalp is also getting longer. Your baby is now large enough for presentation to be determined and your doctor might be able to find out if your baby is at risk for being breech. If your baby is breech, don't panic. There is still time for the baby to rotate.

Week 27 of my Pregnancy

If your baby were born now, it would have an 85% chance of surviving. Even though your baby is still not fully developed, she would be well within the limits of premature viability. You still have approximately 13 weeks left of your pregnancy, and during this time your baby must continue to grow and develop. If your baby was born at this time, she would have several complications that would require special attention. Because babies do not have adequate amounts of fat at this time, your baby would have to be kept inside of an incubator for warmth. Because the air sacs in your baby's lungs do not yet have surfactant, she would require an artificial respirator. Your baby's brain, liver and immune system still need to develop more also.
Make sure you take good care of your teeth. So-called `pregnancy gingivitis` affects most pregnant women to some degree, and generally occurs in the second trimester. If you already have gingivitis, the condition is likely to worsen during pregnancy.
Your baby can develop hiccups

It's a boy!


Yes we're having a baby boy.
I had my ultra sound last Saturday and it show's that we are indeed having a baby boy on 99.99999%. I got so happy learning that my wish did come true. Eversince or since I was young I always wanted to have a son as my eldest, maybe because I'm an only child and always wishing that I had an elder brother who will protect me. But when I got pregnant, I don't really care if it's going to be a baby boy or girl as long as my baby is normal and healthy that's would really fine with me. Learning that we are going to have a boy that's another bonus! =)

Week 26 of my pregnancy
After a month of having his eyelids sealed shut, your baby begins to open his eyes again this week. Your baby's eyes are almost completely developed. Your baby's eyes are blue in the womb and may change colors later in life. This is true for all races because the pupils do not have their final color until a few months after birth. However, some babies are born with darker or lighter shades of blue. Your growing baby will continue to put on layers of fat until he is born. He is still lean at this point of the pregnancy though. By the time your baby is born, he will assume the typical newborn's plumpness. Your baby's skin will still be wrinkled and red, but the fat continues to fill the skin out.
Finger and toe nails continue to grow.
Blood vessels start to develop in the lungs to prepare the baby for life outside the uterus.
Your baby's blood circulation is completely functional. The umbilical cord system continues to grow and thicken as blood travels with considerable force through the body to nurture the baby. The placenta is now almost equal in size to the baby.
Even though it is still way too soon for your baby to be born yet, the chance of survival without severe abnormalities is now 70% provided it is born in a hospital.

Bad day
I was in shock and afraid that something wrong might happen to my baby, that I cried when I heard the voice of my husband from the other line... so he calm me down and asked me to relax for our baby's sake.

Keys to successfully high page ranks!
2. Here's my second tip for Google PageRank: Add your site to Search Engine Optimizers (SEOs). With this, the titles of the posts you create easily gets extracted by Google.
3. My third tip (again) for Google PageRank: Link back to yourself! If you are creating post that is a continuation or related to one of your older post, find a way to add a link to it. Aside from helping your blog readers, you are also helping yourself since clicking this added link creates another hit to your site.
4. My fourth (but hopefully not the last ) tip for Google PageRank, visit and edit your old post and add some more details into it. This adds more value to your posts and Google gets to notice them once again.
5. For Izea's RealRanks, you need to get an ITK (Izea Tool Kit) installed on your blog before the data collection starts. You can get this from SocialSpark. From what I understand, aside from getting the number of page views per day, ITK also tracks the number of unique IP addresses visiting your blog. So if you want to get a high rank, my advice is you join sites such as LinkReferral, BlogCatalog, or BlogRush. Also, enjoy checking out other blogs and leave simple notes on their shout box or comment on their posts. Most often than not, they too will add to your list of new viewers (and hopefully new blog buddies)
6. Although my Technocrati Ranking is high, i'm not pretty familiar as to how it works. But as per sis anna, tags do help increase your Technocrati ranking. And since tag will leave a piece of your link to other blogs (backlinks) which again is related to Google PR, tag all your friends! =)
5 Lastly, make your posts unique and try to talk about new things. My IT niche blog can attest to this. Oracle Hyperion is a new buzz in the Business Intelligence and Oracle market. And since my discussion is now mostly related to this category, this blog is getting tons of visitors mostly from US even without my effort. If you try to search topics such as "Hyperion Planning Overview", my blog will always be added on the first page of Google's searchable links!

Breast pump hunting
Now I'm looking for supplier who sell this type of pump which is not to expensive. I already canvass from SM, Rustans and medela moms, and the price is double than the price in the US.

Week 25 of my pregnancy

Your baby's crown-to-rump length is about 8.8 inches. Weight has increased to around 1.5 pounds and fat is still being deposited at a high rate. Babies come in all shapes and sizes, so your baby could vary slightly from these `average` measurements. Your uterus has grown quite a bit bigger this week. The top of your uterus is between your bellybutton and your sternum. Your uterus is about the size of a soccer ball now!
If your baby is delivered at this time, it would have a good chance of surviving. It is best for your baby to remain inside of you for the remainder of the pregnancy, but great advances have been made in the care of a premature baby. Ventilators, monitors and medications all help premature babies develop and grow outside of the womb. If your baby were born this early, he would probably have to spend several months in the hospital and would be more susceptible to infections and other complications.
You can hear your baby's heartbeat with both a Doppler and a stethoscope at this time, and your partner may even be able to hear the heartbeat unaided if he puts his ear in the right position. Sex differentiation is being completed now. If you are expecting a baby boy, the testes start to descend into the scrotum. In baby girls, the vagina is hollowing out. Your baby is able to do more with their fingers now and can move his fingers to make a complete fist. As your baby becomes more dexterous, he will be able to touch and hold his feet. Babies also begin to prefer their left hand or right hand at this time. Because babies settle into routines of sleep and activity, you might begin to notice these patterns as well. Some women experience the most fetal movements while they are trying to rest.

Week 24 of my pregnancy
Because your uterus is expanding and putting a great amount of pressure on your abdomen, you might get stretch marks. Your weight gain may also be taking a toll on your body at this point. Many pregnant women experience backaches, bladder problems, sore feet and fatigue that affect their daily routines. You might also have some nasal stuffiness or nosebleeds.
Your baby's face is basically complete now. The fetus's eyes are close together on the front of his face and they are still shut. Your baby's ears have moved into their final position on the sides of his head. Where they are now is where they will be when your baby is born! Hair will continue to grow on his scalp and his eyelashes are well developed. Most of your baby's features look the same as they will at birth. Because your growing baby is getting plumper, he no longer has room in your tummy to do cartwheels and somersaults.
Now is a good time to ask about prenatal classes being offered in your area. Many local hospitals offer classes for expectant women and their families. You should aim to complete the classes approximately one month before your due date.
You may sometimes get a stitch-like pain in your side from time to time. It's simply the muscles of the uterus stretching.
the unborn child is covered with a fine, downy hair called lanugo. Its tender skin is protected by a waxy substance called vernix. Some of this substance may still be on the child's skin at birth at which time it will be quickly absorbed.
The child practices breathing by inhaling (up to a liter/day) amniotic fluid into developing lungs.

Week 23 of my pregnancy

This week your baby's length, from crown-to-rump, is approximately 8 inches! Your growing baby has finally reached one pound. Your baby is about the size of a small baby doll and looks very human. The baby's face and body look similar to that of a newborn at this time. Your uterus can be found about 1.5 inches above your navel. Your total weight gain should be approximately 15 pounds at this time.
You might notice some Braxton-Hicks contractions around this time. These contractions are not regular and they should not be painful. Braxton-Hicks contractions prepare your body for the upcoming labor and they will get stronger as your pregnancy progresses. You might be able to feel the contractions if you put your hand on your abdomen and your baby can probably feel the uterus gripping and massaging her. It will not harm your baby, so there is no need for concern.
Fat is still being deposited at a rapid rate, but your baby still looks red and wrinkled. Skin is being produced at a higher rate than the fat is, so the skin hangs loosely. Your baby looks red because the skin is losing its transparency and pigment is beginning to form. You should be feeling your baby moving quite a bit throughout the day as she will kick and punch the uterus walls. Babies also run their hands along the umbilical cord and touch their body parts while they are in the womb. Your baby now can suck her thumb for real, where she was just sticking it in her mouth. Your baby will continue to swallow amniotic fluid and recycle it as urine. The liquids and sugars that the baby retracts from the fluid is a supplement to the nutrients that the placenta delivers. You might be able to feel small `jumps` inside of you when your baby gets the hiccups from swallowing fluid. The pancreas is developing and it will responsible for insulin production, to help break down sugars.
Oily fish in your diet could help boost your baby's health. (Women who eat oily fish while pregnant have children with better visual development, a major study at Bristol University suggests.)
As the baby continues to grow, it has less space to move around in the uterus. Bones, muscles and organs are growing steadily.

I'm on my 5th month of pregnancy
When we are having dinner a while a go, the baby moves several times and my mother in law commented that I might carrying a baby boy and she thinks that this baby will be a basketball player someday, because according to her the baby is so active na and the baby is playing basketball na inside my tummy ha ha ha
I also noticed that hubby got more excited hearing that her mother thinks that we're going to have a baby boy... ayaw pang umamin na gusto rin nya ng boy e...

Second, masaya ako tuwing sumasapit ang all saints day dahil nakikita ko ang mga kamag-anak ko na minsanan ko lang makita at na eexcite ako sa dami ng ibat-ibang klase ng magagandang bulaklak. Gustong-gusto ko ang nag aarrange ng bulaklak, pero this year hindi na muna ako pupunta ng dangwa at mag aarrange dahil ayaw kong mapagod ng husto. So, I'm planning to order na lang sa market or sa suking flower shop namin depende sa budget.
Third, bithday ko sa November at kahit hindi walang party or any celebration I'm still thankful na ipinanganak ako sa mundong ito at nagkaron ng napakabuting at napakabait na ina...

Week 22 of my pregnancy

Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 7.6 inches and your growing baby weighs about 12.25 ounces now! Your uterus is about 2 cm above your bellybutton and you probably feel comfortably pregnant. Your growing tummy is not yet large enough to get in the way and you should still be able to bend over and sit without much trouble. You might be enjoying your pregnancy more than ever at this point if morning sickness was an issue in the early weeks.
Your baby's body continues to grow and develop every day. The organ systems in your baby's body are becoming specialized for their particular functions. The fetal liver produces different enzymes than it will produce after delivery. The liver is responsible for breaking down billirubin, which is produced by the breaking down of blood cells. Because the life span of a fetal red blood cell is shorter than that of an adult, a fetus produces more billirubin than adults do. Billirubin passes from fetal blood to the placenta and then into your blood. Your liver helps get rid of fetal billirubin. A newborn baby that has high levels of billirubin may show signs of jaundice. Jaundiced babies have a yellowish tint to their eyes and skin and are often treated with phototherapy.
Your baby's senses are developing daily. The fetus now has a full complement of neurons in the brain and is learning about her body and surroundings through touch. Touch is one of the first senses to mature and your baby may stroke its face or feel her arms and legs.
Your blood volume has increased more to meet the demands of your pregnancy. Most of the increase is in the form of plasma, the liquid part of your blood. This has the ability to dilute your blood and give you physiological anemia, which occurs during pregnancy. The measure of blood dilution is called Hematocrit and the levels reach their lowest points this week. You should check with your doctor to make sure you are not developing more serious forms of anemia.
Your baby now shows an extremely rapid brain growth (which lasts until five years after birth).
The ovaries of female fetuses contain primitive egg cells, all of the eggs a woman will have for her entire life. The uterus of female fetuses is also fully formed.

A love letter to Mama

Week 18 of my pregnancy

Thumb-sucking at 18 weeks....
By week 18 of your pregnancy, your baby's crown-to-rump length is 5 to 5.5 inches long. Your baby continues to develop fat layers and weighs about 5.25 ounces. Your baby will continue to grow and develop, but the rapid growth will slow down for a little while. You will be able to feel your uterus just below your bellybutton. If you put your fingers sideways to measure, you can feel your uterus about two finger-widths below your bellybutton. At this point of your pregnancy, your uterus is approximately the size of a cantaloupe. Although weight gain varies from woman to woman, your total weight gain at this point should be 10 to 13 pounds.
At this time if you had an ultrasound, heart abnormalities can be detected. If the ultrasound technician detects abnormalities, further ultrasound exams may be ordered to follow the baby's development. There is still space available in your uterus and your baby will be active for periods at a time. Your baby may sit cross legged or turn somersaults.
Around this time, your baby becomes more sensitive to the outside world and shows her presence through powerful kicks and prods. The bones through which sound is passed to the inner ear have hardened and the parts of the brain that receives and processes nerve signals from the ears are developing. This means that your baby can hear now. Your baby will get used to familiar sounds, such as your heart beating, familiar voices, blood rushing through the umbilical cord and other daily routine sounds. Your baby will become startled if he hears a loud sound.
If you have a stethoscope at home, you can now hear the baby's heartbeat yourself.
Tuesday, September 9, 2008
Week 17 of my pregnancy
Your uterus is moving up and is now approximately 1.5 to 2 inches below your navel. You are showing more now and there is a noticeable swelling in your abdomen. At this point in your pregnancy, a 5 to 10 pound weight gain is normal. Other people can probably feel the difference in your lower abdomen if they were to rub your tummy. To be the most comfortable, you should be wearing maternity clothes or clothing that is too large for you. You may have felt your baby move already. However, you might not feel it move every day at this point. As your pregnancy progresses, movements become stronger and more frequent. Feeling your baby move can help reassure you that your baby is doing well. You might also notice that your gums or nose bleed occasionally. This is from the increased blood volume that puts pressure on small blood vessels and capillaries.
Huge changes continue to take place within your developing baby. This week fat begins to form and will continue to do so until he is born. Fat is important to the body's heat production and metabolism. Right now, at 17 weeks, water makes up about 3 ounces and fat 0.018 ounces of your baby's body. In a baby at term, fat makes up about 5.25 pounds of the total average weight of 7.7 pounds. The placenta is continuing to grow at an amazing rate. The placenta will continue to develop in tandem with the fetus and it will weigh more than a pound at birth! By this week, the placenta is large and well established with a network of blood vessels that exchange nutrients and waste.
The eyes are facing more forward. The ears are now close to their final position.
Your baby is more flexible with ability to move head, mouth, lips, arms, wrists, hands, legs, feet, and toes.
Fingerprints are forming now.
Friday, September 5, 2008
Week 16 of my pregnancy

Dates and numbers:
There are 163 days until your due date on February 16, 2009.
You are 117 days pregnant.
You are 3.8 months pregnant.
You are in your 4th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: May 12, 2008 to August 10, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: August 11, 2008 to November 23, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: November 24, 2008 to February 16, 2009. (28 - 40 weeks)
At this point of your pregnancy, your baby is approximately 4.3 to 4.6 inches long and weighs 2.8 ounces. Not only is your baby growing, your uterus and placenta continue to grow to accommodate the growing baby inside of you! Just six weeks ago, your uterus weighed about 5 ounces. This week it now weighs 8.75 ounces! The amniotic fluid that surrounds the baby is increasing and there is about 7.5 ounces of fluid. You will easily be able to feel your uterus approximately three inches below your navel.

This is an important week for testing and you will most likely have an AFP test done. This is a harmless blood test that is done to detect abnormalities such as Down`s syndrome or spina bifida. This is a non-invasive test and it carries no risk to your developing baby. Most doctors will offer the test, but in most cases it is completely optional.
Your milk glands start production at this time and this causes some tenderness and swelling in early pregnancy. Your veins will become more visible because there is an increased amount of blood flowing to the breasts.
At this time, your baby is holding her head erect. Because her muscles are developing, she can make some faces now. Your baby is able to squint, frown and open its mouth. There is enough calcium in the bones that they will show up on an x-ray. Your baby`s fingernails are well formed now and the legs are longer than the arms. Because your baby is moving well now, you may begin to feel his movements! Some women say that the early movements feel like gas bubbles or a slight flutter. If you have not yet felt the baby move, don`t worry. Fetal movements are usually felt between the 16th and 20th week of pregnancy.
You may feel your heart beating "louder" and harder. This is because there is a lot more blood in your body than normal. (about 20-25% more)
Sunday, August 31, 2008
Week 15 of my pregnancy
There are 168 days until your due date on February 16, 2009.
You are 112 days pregnant.
You are 3.7 months pregnant.
You are in your 4th month of pregnancy.
Your 1st trimester: May 12, 2008 to August 10, 2008. (0 - 12 weeks)
Your 2nd trimester: August 11, 2008 to November 23, 2008. (13 - 27 weeks)
Your 3rd trimester: November 24, 2008 to February 16, 2009. (28 - 40 weeks)
Your baby's crown-to-rump length is approximately 4 inches and she now weighs approximately 1.75 ounces. Your baby is close to the size of a softball and you can easily tell that you are pregnant now! If you wear maternity clothes or a swimming suit, other people will be able to tell that you are pregnant also. You can probably feel your uterus about three to four inches below your bellybutton.

Your baby, 25 weeks to go.....
If you do not yet have a due date, your doctor can easily determine an accurate due date based on the measurement of your baby's head. This is done by an ultrasound examination. Your doctor will be discussing upcoming tests and procedures with you around this time that are able to diagnose or confirm birth defects and other abnormalities.
Your baby is growing at an amazing rate and looking more like a human every day. Because your baby's skin is so thin, you are able to see blood vessels through the skin. Lanugo hair covers your baby's body, but it will be gone when your baby is born. The hair on the eyebrows and head continues to grow. Some babies are born with little or no hair and others have a head full of hair! If you have an ultrasound at this point, you might be able to see your baby sucking its thumb. Even though the eyes continue to move to the front of the face, they are still widely separated. Your baby's ears look like normal ears and continue to develop externally. The bones that have already formed continue to get harder and retain calcium. The baby is very mobile and flexible at this point. She can bend her arms at the elbows and wrists and she can also make a fist with her hands.

Good News!

The pregnancy test shows 2 lines though the second one is medyo malabo, but it's only because I'm still on my early weeks of my pregnancy.
It's confirmed by my OB (Dra. Mae Villareal) that I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I can't explain my happiness. Now a days I can't help but smile, even though I have a lot of reports in the office I still can smile.
I just have 1 problem at the moment, I'm suffering from toothache and my dentist can't do anything about it because of my condition. The tooth under my denture bridge has a problem and we can only know the cure if we have it x-ray which is a big no-no for pregrant like me :(. Now I just need to sacrifice and endure all pain for the sake of my baby or for me to go to a dentist specializing on pregnant woman, or a chinese doctor who can cure tootache, or an albularyo with such kind of talent. Now where can I find one?

Answered Prayer
Since the time I got married last year (January 20 to be exact), I never failed to pray na sana bigyan na ako ni LORD ng little angel. At the moment, I'm 5 days delayed and has some symptoms of having a baby so I had a pregnancy test this morning and it shows 1 strong line and 1 line na medyo malabo pa. I'm going to visit my OB this morning para makasigurado as I also feel some pain on my lower belly.
I will post here the result of my check-up.
I hope GOD really answer my prayer na....

Neighbors
I remember when I was young I was taken care of Manang Bibeng wife of Manong Jun, they have an only daughter whom I called Ate Ellaine, that's one thing in common we had, having a small family (I'm an only child too). During that time, Manong June is still working in Yamaha Philippines and Manang is a plain housewife. They are also fond of dogs and I'm always at their house since my mom still have a work during that time.
But last night, Manong Jun passed away after a month of struggling on cancer and diabetis. It's time to bid good bye to Manong Jun, we will surely miss you. Thank you for everything.

Eagle Point Resort
We had our company summer outing and teambuilding at Eagle Point Resort located at Barrio Bagalangit, Mabini, Batangas last April 27-28. The meeting place was on our plant at 4:30am, we left the plant at 5:00am and pass by Tapa King located at Shell Turbina station for our packed breakfast. We arrive at the resort 30 minutes before 8:00am. By the way the star tollway is already open up to Batangas city the exit is near the Batangas port so there's no traffic.
The road from the resort entrance going to the beach resort is very scary. Sobra ang lalim ng bangin and ang tarik ng kalsada not to mention grabe ang mga likuan, it's like an intestine. Walang sinabi ang Baguio. Only resort's owned jeepney are allowed maghatid ng guest because the way is very dangerous.
On our first day we had our team building where we are to required to cross back and forth on rope which is 40ft high and jump when we are done. We also did the low V exercise.
The next day we went to Sepoc Island which is also owned by Eagle Point. It has a big pavillion where we had our lunch. The food is very delicious from breakfast to dinner.

death of a love one
new maid
Finally our new maid is here na, now I can rest on weekends and holidays. She's from Pangasinan and she doesn't want to travel so we can't bring her with us everytime we go to Batangas to visit my mom's relatives and also our Calamsi farm. She looks okay naman, today is her first day and as of this moment she already clean the second floor area and the common comfort room near the guest room. Hopefully this is not "pakitang tao" and that she will continue being masipag. But she's somehow madaldal, actually her voice and my mother in law's woke me up. But it's okay at least I was able to blog before going to office. I wasn't able to blog last night as we need to fetch her in bus stop (this has a boo boo, long story next time na lang) and hubby requested rin for us to rest early last night, he's so tired kasi.
By the way her name is Pam.

our month end madness
That's what happen to me this afternoon. Everything are all okay, all reports are submitted on time, but when our finance manager checked one of our reports which was responsibility of my staff, she found out that the figures from the past 2 months has been changed. That gave our department a demerit, sadly when we fail one report all other reports that were submitted on time will have no bearing, our department's standing now is 1/3 or one passed for the first quarter.

Recycled Plastic Materials
the difference between dsl and dial-up
Dial-up consume alot of time and energy talaga. So sana and sana talaga maikabit na ang DSL namin... It's almost 4 months na rin kasi since I applied for this. We are not in a remote nor a forest area naman, why do they keep on delaying the connection. Last week I thought were going to have it na but after 3days of attempting to install the connection in my old PC the PLDT personnel is having a headache na. Imagine naman kasi na for 3 consecutive day they come in our house just to try if it will work but wala pa rin so better luck this week.
I promise to update this blog often and blog hop lagi as soon as we have our DSL connection....
good night everyone!
my new baby :)
nah, I'm not yet preggy (though I really wish that I am na). I just got my new gadget yesterday (hubby's gift as I mention on my previous post. It's an acer aspire 2920. I preferred the other model sana and I'm also eying for sony viao before but the specs of this acer aspire 2920 is a lot better and not to mention a lot of freebies too and I was able to request for a free upgrade of memory pa from 1GB to 2GB! so, what more can I ask for? lol
