1cm and counting...

I visited my doctor last Monday and she confirmed that I already have an opening and advised me to take a rest for a while meaning no malling, long walks or whatever that will add on my contractions since its still too early for me to give birth. Oh well, I still went out the next day to do some extra errands and filed my maternity leave request at the office. By now, I'm so home and waiting... waiting for my Arkin Reef to pop out of me, preparing important documents for my delivery, fixing baby stuff, worrying what else we (me and the baby) need and trying to be productive all at the same time. Hah! THE life of a mom!

DIY: Bib Necklace

Last time, I flooded my twitter account by tweets about bib necklaces. I went crazy over them ever since last month but since I'm usually at home and so round and full (think: 8 months pregnant) I really don't think I can manage to dress up fiercely with one on. With one of my tweets, I mentioned where can I possibly get one in my area but after looking around for the past few days...I failed. So I thought why not make one instead? So off I went to visit my mother's house and look for my old boxes of ribbons, patches and beads. I have a lot that's why my mom and sister call my stuff as "basura" (oh well!) So there, I was so delighted with the little treasures I gathered and then started to make my DIY bib necklace.

The Materials:
- ribbons - I preferred a black one for that 'goth' effect
- a patch with beads - I was lucky to find one from my mom's old blouse
- thread and needle - for sewing

The Finish Product:

Voila! My so-called Bib Necklace! Yeah I know it's a bit small for a bib. I'll try harder on my second attempt=))

For Poi Inquiries

I mentioned on my twitter last time about the inquiries I received about the poi we used to sell. I just realized that a lot has been asking already if they can order it from me or where they can possibly get it. Sad to say, we are not selling anymore, its been 2 years already that we stopped. The idea was actually just for fun, we are not really considering it as a business. We thought its just a fad since its only a hit during summer and it requires effort in a way that if you sell it, you have to make sure that the buyer knows how to use it or else you need to atleast educate or teach them how to handle it. So instead I am referring you to this link: http://planetzips.multiply.com/ this is where I bought my first pair and I think up until now they are still supplying one within the country. So there just for everyone to know.

Alton Rush

Yes I'm finally blogging about my son, Alton Rush Claro Moncatar.

He is my first son -- because another one is coming this January:) I used to be very emotional in blogging someone dear to me but I know now that I shouldn't be because it should be something I should enjoy and cherish.

Rush was born September 26, 2008 at Dr. Pablo O. Torre Memorial Hospital around 4pm via caesarean section. The whole "labor thing" was really traumatic since it lasted for almost 14 hours but after seeing my son for the first time, i knew its all worth it.

Meet my little angel, Rush:

This blog is so UP!

A month ago, I was advised by my doctor to take some time off from work. You see, aside from being pregnant, I was diagnosed having Gestational Diabetes . So I was required to undergo diabetic diet program, some medications and to monitor my blood sugar by taking some endless (not to mention) stressful laboratory tests. Aside my frequent visits to my doctors and labs, I'm just usually at home. To kill boredom, I finally got the urge to blog again. The problem is I've been trying my best retrieving this old blog even before but I encountered issues that made me totally gave up on it and decided to move on. I registered on Twitter but then that doesn't satisfy me so I tried Tumblr and again I encountered challenges in convincing my B to do my blog template and all the works. I got tired. I only updated my tumblr account for some time and then stopped AGAIN. Thank God for today my B did the whole retrieval of this blog and now so excited to update again.

OMG!

Finally this old blog of mine is up again! Thanks B for the courage in retrieving old passwords and stuff just to activate this again. Weeeeeh!

I'm Busy

Starting from now on,I don't want to start every of my entries with lines like these: "It's nice to update my blog again" or "Thank God,I get to update my blog again" I felt its time to throw away all those boring intros because it is true that I rarely update my blog. Its the start of my week and here I am taking time off from work again..Hahaha!Well,just a heads up my weekends fall on thursdays and fridays.So obviously,when everyone's on their happy hours during weekends,Im at work burying my head in front of my station.Get that?I dont think so.Hahaha!
