Went Out..

31 07 2007

I told you, I will go out today! ) But we went out to go in a Ward City Office. It’s like the City Hall. We have to get an Alien Card Registration for my brother since he will stay here for 6 months! And then we checked the $720 for my little boys money that he gets every year from the government. We haven’t able to receive that one for over 2 years. So we went and see what was going on. Everything was alright though. We thought at first it was stopped because hubby went into a higher pay off with his salary a couple of years ago. So we just thought that’s why it was stopped! But then, there was this very kind employee that helped us all morning to fix the problem. It was stopped because we stopped replying to the mails they sent us. That mail is supposed to be the signatures and other documents that they needed from us. they send it every year but then it was all Japanese and then like an ad so of course it was put in a spam mails! lol I was so happy to hear that they will pay the 2 years fee this coming September. It will be around $1400 and since it’s a money of my little boy, hubby said I can have it! haha:) We weren’t really expecting that one..And we were glad to find out! Yay! another free money:)

Anyway, I will be having my check up tomorrow too! I just can’t wait! We we’re suppose to go over there today but when we called to check the appointment it was canceled. though it was rescheduled tomorrow as what the operator just told hubby but I have to be there earlier. I am excited to know the gender of little pea! )

Later peeps!

Laptop Informations

31 07 2007

My Mom who is not a techie like my Dad really needs to read this Laptop Information that I found online. She has been bugging me to look something like this and I’m proud to say I found one! Thanks to this site! Mom, here it is:) Since Dad and Mom has been discussing on what to get for her. At first, Dad was hesitant at first if she really will use it and not just my other siblings because she is so not into computer and then she doesn’t know a thing until Dad forced her that she really needs to get one! I gave her a laptop before but then gave it to my Aunt! She said she wanted a desktop and then realized she really needed a laptop. From all the thing she said to me, I’m sure she isn’t sure but I’d love that she will get a laptop for her since she works all day!

Anyway, I’m glad I found this this Laptop Information because Mom would definitely listen to the things it says here. She works all day out in the house and then when she have laptop I’m sure if will be accessible for her all day long! So, if any of you wants to know whats the big difference between laptop and desktop, this is the place!





Li’l Pea is 22 Weeks..

31 07 2007

Yep, 22 weeks and counting! And my belly is getting heavier:) Here’s what the Babycenter says..

 How your baby’s growing:
Your baby now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9 inches and almost 1 pound. Her skin will continue to appear wrinkled until she gains enough weight to fill it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers her head and body is now visible. Her lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath her gum line. Her eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks pigment. Eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and her pancreas, essential for hormone production, is developing steadily.

How your life’s changing:

You may start to notice stretch marks on your skin as your abdomen expands to accommodate your growing baby. Some pregnant women never get stretch marks, but at least half do. These small streaks of differently textured skin can range from pink to dark brown (depending on your skin color), and they become more apparent as pregnancy progresses. They can appear not only on your tummy, but also on your buttocks, thighs, hips, and breasts. Lotions won’t prevent or eliminate them, but they help with any itching. Also, you may no longer be an “innie” — your navel is flat and may soon pop out. It will revert to its usual shape after birth.

Another interesting skin quirk you may notice during pregnancy is something called vascular spiders. These are little areas of raised, reddish skin, with tiny branches. Commonly found on the face, neck, upper chest, and arms, they’re caused by the higher levels of estrogen in pregnancy, and they usually disappear after delivery.

I’ll be out the whole today but be back with great updates! :)





Yikes!

30 07 2007

I wake up around 10am this morning and hubby left with a kiss goodbye earlier. I thought I was just dreaming so I woke up and then I overheard little boy shouting outside! He wants breakfast already..I have to tell you that raising a little boy who is 5 yrs old that wants everything his way and to think that I am preggy too. It’s tough but I just laughed at him and asked why he have to shout! He said this “..because it’s not good being hungry, Mom!” There’s the right answer! lol

Anyway, weather is so bad today!The reason I woke up late is that it was raining early! Yuck! We have 72F now with a rain showers..Where’s the sun when you need them,huh? I was hoping to go out today and do some checking for the crib I wanted for little pea. And some toys for little boy. I promised him that I’ll get him a Transformer toys named Bumblebee and Optimus Prime! Now, I’m not sure if we can go out. It’s already 3pm here and I still have not showered! haha If this rain will not go away, I think we’ll just go out tomorrow..sigh..

I’ll update more later peeps! :)

A little about me. I’m sure you know a bit already. But to add more. I’m a Mommy to Albert who is 5 yrs old and on the way of our little peanut who is 21 weeks in me belly! Born and raised in the Philippines. Almost 7 yrs married! A Computer Engineer. Worked a year as Software Engineer but loved my work as a Front Desk in one of the 4 Star Hotel in Cebu City before getting married! I have always wanted to sky dive before hitting the big 30 in 2 yrs time! I don’t think I can do that now..I am a dreamer by nature. I don’t get a lot of friends IRL because maybe I’m too picky and I am a loyal friend and needs only a friend that can be trusted too. I met my hubby in Cebu. He is also born and raised in the Philippines. An engineer as well. Comp. E and ECE. Yep, a double courser! Worked for over 10 years in this American Company he is blessed to worked with until now. Travels around the world. And the most amazing person I know! I know, I’m a lucky duck ;) Living here in Tokyo for almost 6 yrs now. I have traveled to some amazing countries already and I would love to travel more…What else? Aha..I am sweet..lol every friends IRL told me that and then I think I’m friendly! lol Every beauty pageant I attended to, I get that award! haha

I’m tagging everyone who loves to do this:)

And here’s the instruction to this tag/meme :

1st step – Post a short blog article that includes a photograph (or a series of photos) showing the face behind your blog. If you already showed a photo somewhere on your site (such as in your about page), then make your post more interesting and choose a photo that’s not currently online.

2nd step – Include links to other people that have displayed a photo, or include their photos in your post, adding a reference.

3rd step – Tag as many others as you like in your post to spread the meme.

4th step – If you link back to me here and send an email I’ll be sure to include links back to you. Each person tagged should create their own post and repeat the process.

Okey there! I hope this works! )
