hay

waist line = 34 (dati 25)
weight = 120 lbs (dati 100)

muka na kong balyena and ngayon ko lang na-experience yung talagang pagiisipan mo kung anong isusuot mo. i made the mistake of wearing a maternity pants that i bought earlier. ok naman yung fit standing up but kinda constricting on some areas when seated. i hate hate that feeling. pero syempre nasa office na ko nun na-notice ko yun.

i can still wear two of my jeans, two black pants, one maternity pants, and the linen drawstrings. ang challenge is also to find a top that looks ok on me without looking like a tree. ewan ko. nde ko carry yung maternity clothes. the nice ones are pretty expensive and i dont want to go on buying clothes which i will not be using for a long time. hay. makapagsando na lang hehehe

work is ok. nakakatamad but ok. life is boring. what activities do you expect from me? dogs are cutest. i still have to take pictures of the puppies. naka-open na eyes nila! life.

kain na.

life, as much as we would like to sugarcoat it, is not as sweet as it is. hay frustrations. im a little lost but surviving.

i found the book that i've been wanting to buy at powerbooks yesterday, diary of a mad mommy to be, and thought about buying it but ended up buying twisted instead. i've read it but i dont have a copy of my own. it was cheaper anyways compared to what i really wanted but im still going back to powerbooks to buy that diary. it might help me get through this weird emotional ekek of pregnancy.

hay speaking of...i really feel my tummy expanding and im afraid that my skin might break. seriously. and it's so hard to find a sleeping position that is comfy and good for me. a friend suggested to get a big bolster pillow but that would add up to the ever growing expenses. hay life nga naman...

oh well.

team building last saturday at kabayan beach resort in san juan, batangas. for the first time, sumama ako hahaha last year sumama din ako eh. ika nga nila, once a year lang ako nakikisali =)

my latest pictures @ 5 months pregnant





i've gained 20 lbs since getting pregnant. my OB did advised me to eat less rice because i gained 10 lbs since my last checkup which was just 4 weeks ago. please ignore the nose. i never had a nice nose but its bigger than the usual.

i havent been religiously updating my blog lately because of so many things going on right now. add the fact that blogger/blogspot is blocked in our network. well, that really doesnt stop me from getting to blogger since the mac G5 is outside of the firewall. i just dont have anything to say.

work. still the usual. pretty busy with assisting the new hires with their trainings, monitoring calls and emails, and consultations. meetings too eats up most of my time here. then tambay mode =)

soda, we think, is pregnant again and if our calculation is correct she should give birth end of july or first week of august. i really hope the babies will be ok this time. sachi is staying in san juan since bart's maid left three weeks ago. its pretty hard to have the three dogs together. its doesnt help that bart's busy with work that he gets home around 8 or 9 in the evening. you can really count on him to clean the cages.

speaking of bart, his foot will again be operated on this friday (or is it saturday morning). remember the cyst on his toe? its gotten big again and needs operation. it has been operated on twice before the last was just four years ago. the last doctor who operated on it said that they could not remove everything since some are sticking to the bone and they only used local anaesthesia. he will feel the pain if they take it off. so the doctor now will use general anaesthesia (to the spinal) so he would be asleep. scary but i know he'll be ok. i do remember being under general anaesthesia last year for my D&C (raspa po iyon) but it was injected to the IV. prior to that, i was asking the assisting doctors around if it's painful. i guess they thought i was high or something coz they were all smiling at me. i was asked to count to 10. i think i just reached 6 and woke up in the recovery room after 4 hours. i didnt feel anything. the physical pain was finally over. it was the worst feeling of cramps ever. 20 times than the usual plus the fear of losing all your blood because goodness, i've never lost that much blood in my life. grabe.

bact to bart, i really hope that they get to remove all the cyst from his toe.
