On Vacation Mode

Dear Bloggers,

 

I’ll be on vacation in 2 days time and will be abandoning for a month blogosphere. Thanks in advance for peeping in and out during my absence, hehe! Need to pack up things for now.

 

Will be back with tons of photos Insha Allah (in God’s will).

 

Ciao!

Dream House

I’ve always wanted to have our house renovated. My parents built our house way back 1980’s and after that, no changes have been made. The paint outside is still the same cemented look, hehe!

 

All day, I was dreaming that someday Insha Allah, once I have enough savings for my parents, I will fulfill their dream house with enough rooms for all us to stay together.

 

The whole house will be like this or let’s say similar to this. I would like to have it in dark chocolate brown color not yellow. The roof will be black.

The first floor set up is great especially since there will be a porch. My parents are active in their church activities and they would do some meetings in our house, such as get together or just a chat with their friends as well. My dad’s old enough to go up the 2nd floor so they might as well stay on the first floor. There will be a porch at the back, very good for a nice evening chat or barbeque time.firstfloor

 

This will be the set up of the second floor. Currently we have 3 rooms, we just need another one since our family’s getting bigger. The optional playroom can be a room I guess. I love the idea of having an attic for storage purposes and creepy stories aside, hihi! And the walk in closets that each room has is extravagant. Just like a celebrity home.

In time, Insha Allah God’s will and by his help, I can fulfill this dream house of ours. The design of the house floor plans are so awesome. Here’s the link, and start to dream.

Saddest Commercial

Sharing you one of the saddest ads I’ve seen in my entire life. It made me cry too much that after seeing this, I hugged and kiss my husband and baby Julia. A little creepy but who knows when our lives will end. Sigh! Tinalo ang ads ng Jollibee and McDonalds pagdating sa family.

Saw this link in one of my friends in Facebook, then I reposted it on my wall. I received 14 comments and a lot of violent reactions (good ones actually, not that bad naman) because it’s really touching. Sigh!

10 Days to Go!

Was looking thru my FB profile this morning. And here’s what alarmed me:

Shucks! Need to do panic buying for hubby’s family. They are not asking for anything but it’s nice if I could like prepare a little something from me and baby Julia for all their love and support all thru out our marriage.

 

The visas are ready, the plane tickets are printed out as well. The bags are not yet packed of course. For now, need to do a list of things we need to bring for our short vacation.

 

Lebanon and Syria, here we come!

Garlic Pasta

Was browsing last week thru mommy blogs and was able to visit ate Alpha’s food blog. She blogged on how to cook a delicious garlic pasta. So as a midnight snack, I prepared the meal for me and Hubby. It took me an hour to prepare everything because the little one keeps on bothering me, hehe! She would crawl inside the kitchen taking off my attention so it took me time to finish the pasta.

 

So without further adieu, presenting (courtesy of ate Alpha – thank you po!)

When to ask “Where’s her Mom?”

I know I don’t look my daughter at all. A lot of cases where in people would usually ask questions na feeling ko sometimes, below the belt na. Here’s an incident just last weekend when we went to buy some groceries. Tignan ko lang kung hindi ka mainis.

 

I was pushing the grocery cart from the frozen section of Carrefour, and I saw this promo girl ahead. I thought she was promoting bread sticks. I asked because I wanted Julia to taste some since she was on the mode of I’M-ABOUT-TO-CRY-GET-ME-OUT-OF-HERE.

 

So here’s the exchange conversation between me and the lad:

ME: Miss, ano po yan?

PROMO GIRL: Ay, crab sticks ‘to. (hindi man lang mag Ma’am ha!)

ME: Ahhh… okay… Kala ko bread sticks, hihi! Thank you.

PROMO GILR: Psst… saan ang nanay nyan? (Yup, she was referring to baby Julia who was in front of me sitting in the cart.)

ME: Huh?! **insert a raising eyebrow** Ako ang nanay nyan. (taray ng lola mo!)PROMO GIRL: Weeehhh… hindi nga?!

ME: %*#’@ —- ?????

PROMO GIRL: (still in doubt) Saan ang papa nyan?

Instead of replying back, I just pointed at my husband who was 3 or 4 steps away behind looking over some chicken nuggets yung parang nag iisip kung masarap ba ‘to, hehe! And then I walked away. AS IN!

 

Hay naku!!!!

 

I don’t blame her actually. I question myself sometimes kung anak ko ba talaga si Julia. Because really, we don’t have anything in common. Julia looks a copy cat of her Dad. But my point is that, sometimes people don’t think twice on what to ask and even when is the right time to ask about some personal things.

 

I’m telling you that this is not the first time it happened. I’ve been thought of being a nanny to Julia several times whenever we go out. And the bad thing about it is kapwa Pinoy pa yung magtatanong sayo. And when you answer back naman, they don’t believe you pa.

 

Locals here in Qatar don’t even ask. They just looked at me in the eye and they would sometimes ask, why Julia’s eyes is different from mine. Because my eyes is black and Julia has Grey. Siguro naiilang din sila sometimes, or they are just too shy to ask. At least sila may hiya pa diba.

 

Hay naku!!!!

Baby Julia Turned 10

Oh men! Our little one’s getting bigger, taller and cuter everyday.

 

Here’s an update with our little cutie Julia:

  • She’s picking up things on her own.
  • Grabbing her toys as she wants it.
  • Eating solid foods.
  • Most of the times, she talks to herself and somehow it amazes us her parents because she can make herself busy sometimes by doing that.
  • She likes music – SO MUCH! Like mother, like daughter *wink, wink!
  • By 10 months, she can sit up straight without tumbling.
  • She can move along for as long as she has something on her way.
  • She can walk from our room to the other room without our help – which makes me more alarmed because I’m thinking that she might bump something on her way.
  • She can hold her bottle by her own and even knows where she can get it whenever she wants to drink “dodo” during her sleep-mode – I see to it that she can grab it just above her pillow, and it works every time. I don’t need to give it to her most of the times.
  • Lastly, NO TEETH yet. Yup! I can see this 2 cute white something on her gums below but I’m not sure if it’s ready to come.
