My in laws was down waiting for us so the camera was with them already, but good that Hubby thought of taking a photo of this. I was in pain actually coz of the episiotomy procedure pero all out smile parin, for the sake of kodak moments hehe! These was truly one of the sentimental photos I can share with you guys.

I just imagine how Julia will look like when she grows up speaking the home language of her father – Arabic.

Watch the video below and for sure you’ll laugh out loud – just like me. He’s so funny! Even though he made fun of Filipinos – no doubt, I’m a witness that some of us really do have that “P & F Defeciency” grammar problem, hehe!

I really recommend watching these clips – just for fun. Can’t wait for Julia to grow up and then I will imagine myself listening to her talking in Arabic and will not be able to understand a SINGLE WORD that she’ll say, hehe! Insha Allah by God’s will, by that time I can speak and relay to Arabic language already, sigh!

Picnic at the Park

April 17, 2009 1:30 AM , 3 Comments ,

Just to change our moods, today we decided to take lunch at one of the famous park right now here in Doha. Aside from the all time favorite Corniche which is along the sea side, we went just behind Hyatt Plaza and beside Villaggio Mall (where I’m working at). A 10 minutes drive from our place.

We fetch BIL from work around 4pm and off we go the the park.

Here are some photos to share.

BIL’s Arrival

April 16, 2009 12:40 AM , 1 Comment ,

Finally he’s here!

Answered prayer. BIL arrived last 5th of April – 9AM Qatar time. We’ve been waiting for him since December. It was worth a wait.

Hubby and I are so happy coz finally, he’s here with us. He can start a new life again and will be able to help out and to support his family. BIL and I are like brothers in blood. I grew up with knowing him not like as a brother in law but as a real kuya. We’re all girls in the family and when my eldest sister got married, I was at the age of starting to remember things. 7 years old was like the most unforgettable years of my life. We went to Saudi Arabia to settle down for a while – Mom and Dad looked for a greener pasture in the middle east so I was like grew up without any playmate at all.

Kuya worked in Medina (southern part of the Kingdom) way back 1990’s and during the holiday season, he stayed with us for a week. We played Nintendo and he’s always there for me kahit na alam nyang makulit ako. That’s why when he left back to work, I cried as in. I’m so proud that Hubby and I was able to help him find a work. This is the only way for me to help my loving sister and their kids who means a lot to me.

Welcome to Qatar Kuya! First off – The Pearl of Qatar.Kuya Ramil

Bb Julia Turned 5

April 15, 2009 10:33 PM , Leave a Comment ,

How your baby’s growing:

Your baby can’t express his emotions in the same complex way you can. Although he can clearly let you know when he’s happy or unhappy, his ability to demonstrate his love and sense of humor is just developing.
As your baby gets older, he may start to cry when you leave the room and get excited when you come back in. He may also raise his arms when he wants to be picked up and give you pats on the back.
And you’ll probably see him getting your jokes — he’ll laugh at funny expressions and try to make you laugh too. Keep the laughter flowing with your silly faces!

Last Friday Bb Julia turned 5 months. Time flies so fast. This will be the last month that we’ll be celebrating it with Mommy. She’ll be leaving on the 25th of this month and up until now, we haven’ find any solutions on who will take care of Julia when she left.

BIL arrived a few weeks ago, so we decided to visit City Center Doha to enjoy the view.

Here are some photos to share.
