Dear Juanri,

I heard from Bembong (Do you call her Bembong or Claire there in NZ?) that you’re having a baby soon! Congratulations! Motherhood literally changed my life and my self. It is a great and wonderful adventure that is very very exciting! I heard though that you’re worried and asking for advice. That’s good, because you’re responsible ( Read more... )

Two weeks ago I was doing what I usually do on weekdays, lie in bed and watch reruns, and Dr. Oz was on the Oprah show and he said something that struck me. He said, his favorite piece of advice for 2010 (yes, reruns) was "Participate in your Own Life." And it didn't strike me immediately, as I lay there flipping between channels, but I kept coming ( Read more... )

Eeeee! I've been wanting to blog about this for months! But the magazine editors asked us not to post photos on the internet until the March issue came out. Well, it's out! And Michelle got a copy yesterday (which I've been hoarding ever since! Sorry, Che.) And now I finally finished reading the the magazine from cover to cover, there is nothing ( Read more... )

Oh my poor neglected blog. To think it's the beginning of the year. Usually around this time I MAKE myself blog as part of a New Years resolution. Or I'm simply more organized and so have time to blog. Unfortunately, if Twitter and Facebook had overtaken my blogging time last year, this year, it's Farmville. This addiction is eerily similar to my ( Read more... )

I'm in bed but I'm awake. I don't want to watch tv. I kind of feel like reading but I don't have any new or pending books on hand. I do want to see the photos in the CD I had been given today but I'd have to get out of bed, go to the den, turn on the comp and sit in a very uncomfortable for buntis chair. Particularly right now. I'm in my super ( Read more... )

It seems I never want to do anything but sleep these days. I spend my waking hours being sleepy, and at night when I go to bed, I can't sleep because I've come to the point where there is no comfortable position for a woman with a human being living in her belly. Of course this could explain why I'm sleepy all day ( Read more... )

We're moving tomorrow. Which of course means I'll be missing the live showing of the Emmy's, damnit. But what can I do? Mike consulted with his Chinese friends about the, I don't know, luckiest date that we can move to the new house, and it's on September 21. Which works out, I guess, since it's a holiday, the workers finished just last Friday. We ( Read more... )

The thing about so many things happening is that there is hardly any time to blog about it ( Read more... )

I've mentioned in passing the Super Secret Surprise Baby Shower here and here, the preparations of which derailed my (ahem) regular blogging. I suppose it's only fitting that since that party had prevented me from blogging for three weeks (as if!) I should get at least one blog post out of it.

The Shower is for my sister-in-law Michelle who is ( Read more... )

Happy New Year blogosphere! And to the two to three readers I have (that's you Mom and Carlo and Tita Annette if you ever bothered to come back) I'm sorry for the recent neglect. I think I was doing well, averaging two entries a week until December crept in and ruined everything. Dagnabbit! What happened last month? Certainly the most logical ( Read more... )
