The princess loves answering the phone nowadays. One time she answered a phone call and the man on the other line was looking for me, the man probably said "where's your mommy?"
Princess: huh? (she looked at me as if shocked by what she heard)
Mom: Why, who is it?
Princess: He said he wants my money, i don,t have any money naman eh!
Another afternoon, she answered the phone, again she looked surprised with what she heard.
Mom: why sweety, who is it?
Princess: Mom, she said she wants my jack stone, that's my toy eh.
(The person on the other line was actually asking for a FAX TONE)

Missing the e-world...
Been very busy lately. I hardly find time to browse the net, I only open my laptop to check and send emails. I miss blog hopping, I miss visiting the forums I enjoy. I miss staying online for a long time. Anyway, I'm on my third month now, I'm, just glad that while I'm busy, baby no. 2 is not giving me a hard time, no spotting or anything that is alarming, except of course for the usual nausea & vomiting that I experience till now. And oh, the princess is very much excited to be an "ate". She enjoys talking to the baby while holding my tummy.

Random Updates
Been busy with lots of things lately, aside from the fact that we lost internet connection for five days, a lot of things needed attention and so this blog has not been visited for quite a while.
The princess started going to school already, my baby is not really a baby anymore (sniff*sniff). Oh, but I'm so proud of her! The moment we entered the classroom, she started working on some puzzle. She did her activities one after the other. She was cooperating very well and following her teacher's instruction. The best part is, SHE DIDN'T CRY!!! I was so worried that she will cry but no, she really made me proud! But like any other mommies, we do have this "waking up" blues. It's easy to wake her up but the hard part is, making her stand up and go to the bathroom.
I'm sad. After the summer escapades, I gained weight! Now I'm having a hard time fitting into my clothes. I have to try at least 3 pairs before I can hide the bulges. I hate the way I look and I know I need to do something about it now, not tomorrow, not next week!!! And I won't buy new pairs of clothes coz if I do, it's as if I'm accepting that I'll keep this weight.
Sister no. 3 is planning to tie the knot, of course, "ate"(that's me) will be helping with the preparation and she asked me to be her Matron of Honor. I worry about something though, baby no. 2 could be on the way while were doing all the preps. Another thing, if I get preggy soon, there will be someone with a bulging tummy in her entourage. Arghh!
The princess is suffering from colds, I guess she got it from her classmate. She can barely sleep at night coz she's having difficulty in breathing. Poor little girl... I really hope she can get enough sleep tonight.

My Most Memorable Moment
Daiz tagged me!
1. Answer the question below:
If you are to leave an important memory, what would that be?
You can answer the question either by posting a picture, a video, writing a poem or whatever you think would best describe the memory that you want to share.
I thought, that was hard. My wedding day and the arrival of my princess come to mind. Both are a wonderful events in my life. However another moment stands out in my mind. It was my dream to be really close to my father, in fact, he was the reason why I didn't pursue my career to be a nurse. He didn't want me to work somewhere else so he offered me to work for them, to help them in managing the family business. I agreed because I wanted him to see my efforts of trying to be close to him. Don't get me wrong, he was a good man, a good provider and I know how much he loves us, maybe he's just not the "sweet father" type and he was too busy with the business then that he doesn't realized it was eating much of his time.
Christmas of 2001, we were at Fontana in Angeles City, that was one of the few times that he became a playful and very funny dad, one thing that we always look forward to. We had a wonderful time there because those were the very few times that we could call a quality time with our dad. So there, my most memorable moment with him was the last Christmas he spent with us...

A Mother's Day Gift
Being a Stay-at-Home-Mom, I don't have anything to say about my professional career. I have no regrets when I decided to become a SAHM, being a hands on mom is what I've always dreamed of. I may not be successful in my professional career but my daughter is my pride, my trophy. Last Sunday, my princess did something during their Sunday School in church. After the service, she immediately hand me the most wonderful Mother's Day gift .
(of course she didn't do it on her own, she had help from her teacher and her yaya)

New Found Friends... (WARNING: Long post, this is especially made for my classmates in the short course i attended)
Most of the time, friends who are very close to my heart tend to leave. Because of our profession, that's the reality that I have to accept. Can't blame them for leaving, opportunity knocks best for them outside Philippines. When my best friend left for London, we were crying buckets of tears, of course after a while, we've learned to deal with the situation that she has to follow her dreams. As for me, I have another story why I opted to stay here. After a few years, more and more of my friends were leaving. I got used to the idea but I will never get use to the pain it brings whenever someone has to leave.
Three years of being a Stay-At-Home-Mom, I missed a lot of things. I miss going out on a regular basis. Don't get me wrong, I don't have a single regret, I love my daughter so much and I am happy each and every single day I spend with her. But of course, I sometimes think I could use some break, some "ME" time to keep my sanity. And in doing so, It has to be something that I enjoy the most (well, aside from singin,hehe), what else could it be but cooking! Hubby was generous enough to enroll me to a short course in culinary and I glad I enrolled in the second batch for this year. Not only that I've learned so much but I also gained some new friends.
Our class was a complete package, different personalities but we surely have one thing in common, that is to enjoy whatever it is we were doing. During the first few sessions, I thought it'll just be the typical class and since it was just a short course, it never entered my mind that we will still keep in touch after the course has ended. It all started with chilling out on Saturdays after class, another session came the next week and so it goes on and on. We even had our bonding session one holiday, and guess what I've found out, they love to sing too!!! After those gimmicks outside class, we became much comfortable with each other and the kitchen was never dull again, we were all enjoying everything. Inside the kitchen, laughing was the common sound you can hear. Gladly we became close to the chefs, some of them even joined us on our bonding sessions. Modesty aside, most of them liked our batch, I'd like to qoute Chef A, "ok nga kayo eh, kasi masaya ang mabilis kayo kumilos, each week nag iimprove kayo, nakaktuwa" and from Chef G, "cool ng batch nyo, di pa kayo maaarte". From Chef E during our kitchen simulation, "Ang gagaling nyo ha, bakit ang gagaling nyo?":D Wohooo! Thanks to all our Chefs!
I don't know about them but during our graduation, I had mixed emotions, I was happy to finish the short course but I was a bit sad coz I knew I'll be missing the group, the noise inside the kitchen, the never ending laughs and funny moments.
Special mention to some people;
Bianca, you were the first person I smiled at, sat beside you in the lobby and that was the start. I hope we will continue to keep in touch, make this friendship grow into a deeper one. I can always be your older sister if you need someone to talk to. Thanks for all those nice chats during breaks. Can't wait to see that "W" moment of yours.;-)
Chona, my fellow mommy. Was is just a coincidence that we sat beside each other? I'll miss our wifey and mommy talks. Thank you for your effort of coming with us no matter how far you're from.
Ayen, another fellow mommy. Thank you for always appreciating my efforts. I'll definitely miss your sweet voice especially when you come back to your home town. We should meet before you go.
Kath bunso and Ria, stay being cool! I missed you guys during the last get together, hope to see you soon.
Yogi, thanks for being nice, you're my inspiration in getting rid of these excess baggage in my body, hehe. Goodluck on the new path that you're about to enter. Congratulations dear!
Tommee, still remember we walked together to get our cars on the first day? We we're both so quiet while walking, not talking to each other, who would've thought that we will end up as friends. Thank you! Thank you for being our happy pill! For making each day in class a memorable experience. Thank you for being the organizer of everything! You really deserve to be our EC. I must admit, without you, the group wouldn't be that close. Thank you for your efforts of keeping in touch. Don't get tired of organizing a get together ok? Glad to have found someone who almost has the same personality and outlook as mine, of course drinking is an exception to that. I hope you and mommy Z will finally be ok. I'm praying for that.
Chester, my first and original group mate, my fellow Sous Chef (haha!). Mr. Asian guy is really a very dependable group mate, thank you for making sure that I always have my stock (oh the advantage of being tall). Thanks for being available always when I needed to ask something about baking ingredients. (Free plugging, Try his cakes and pastry creations -Taste Temptations at Shopwise-libis and soon to open, Mall of Asia Branch) I've tried it myself, although I'm not a sweets lover, I definitely love it, walang bola yan ;-) On the other note, I hope E will finally see your worth more than being a best friend. I pray that your persistence will someday pay off. And before I forget, Happy Birthday!!!:D
Jay, thanks for being a cool lolo! (Joke) Seriously, I never thought you'd be one of those who will always be present during bonding moments, in fact you're one of the starters. Hehe! On the other note, what you did to Pat's car was really funny! silly joke but funny! It was your idea right?
Patrick, see, I didn't forget you. Oh well, what would I say about you? Can't think of anything really... Kidding aside, thanks for being a nice group mate, for being a gentleman (naks!), I won't forget when you waited for me to finish the cleaning in the kitchen before leaving and even offered to carry my bag, it was nice of you to do that considering you were not as close to me as you are to Bianx ;-). I hope you could join our get together and breathe the manila air for a change. Promise I'll keep you updated on the gimmicks so you could join us, that is if you're interested.
I miss you all guys, it's been a short period that we've spent together but it's definitely something that I will cherish. See you around!!!
