Another Journey of Mine

It's actually giving me a scare.... count down is almost there.... 9 more days to go and I will be giving birt to a baby boy. Ultrasound says it's a boy! Thanks God! Another ordeal that I have yet to go through. I've never written about my first delivery... with Little Tyke, somehow because till this moment it still gives me the fright.

My pregnancy with Anais was like going through the hole of the needle.... no exaggeration... it really was. On my 3rd month of pregnancy, I had to go through an operation at Cardinal Santos, after which the ailment had became recurring which prompted me to resign from my former company. Not to mention the emotional, mental and physical turmoil that I had gone through and are known only to few of my closest friends. The high light was during the delivery itself.

We were just out to get another opinion, only to find out that I was already 1 cm dilated in PLACENTA PREVIA TOTALIS, thus the emergency CS. On my way to the operating room, I passed out due to minor heart attack... The doctors along with the nurses surrounded us in the OR as Anais has to be taken out with in 3 minutes, other wise, we will both be dead.And since it's emergency, they did not wait for the anaesthesia to fully take its effect on me.... gee... you would't believe the pain that I felt when they open my abdomen... no time to waste and gee of all the time that I will regain conciousness is when the OB is giving directions.... Jesus Christ, at that moment I wish I hadn't have any knowledge about medical terms.... With the expertise of the team, Anais was taken out in less than 3 minutes... 97 seconds to be exact.... After her cry, wrong her giggles rather, I drifted to unconciousness....

Now I'm just more than a week away, I just hope that this time it's going to be a lot easier.... no emergencies, nothing like that... pray for me....

Just a Laugh Away!!!

It's the start of the week. Well, guess this would be my last week at the office before I take my maternity leave. Yup I'm due to give birth next week on the 18th. It's via C section, so pray for me as I go through another ordeal of my life. I just hope this will not be as complicated as my first delivery. Anyway, let's talk about it later, what prompts me to write this moment ( take note I'm at the middle of my work, am at the office and hehehe, I've got the nerve to sneak to do this). I wasn't able to ask permission from Owen that I'll gonna be copy pasting this.... I know he wouldn't mind.... hehehehe peace kita Owen, this is one of the comments about his post on Salceda.

Tama naan iriwal. Magkasararo na kita. For the beautification of Albay.

Marianne, taggapon ta na na si Salceda an satuyang bagong Gobernadora. Sabi ngani nya, warang nang magibo ta, na deklara na. An pag kakasararo ta ngunian an susi para an probinsyang ini magpadagos an progreso.

Salceda won the election convincingly. i'm convinced! The way the "nice people around" were convinced for 40M.

Si Gonzalez talagang maray na gobernador. Kaso kapandokon nya si Santa Clause. narurumduman tuloy kan mga tawo an distroso kan bagyong reming. Disyembre bga ito. muya na man kan albyano na maka move on. Muya na ninda na lingawan an nakalipas. Kaya para sa pagprogreso ta, lingawan ta na kun ano pa man an naka agi. Parang ganito. Lingawan ta na an white elephant project na Pantao Port. Lingawan ta na an pagpasemento daa kan Ligao-Polangui road. Lingawan ta na an gibo-gibo nyang pagparaasikaso kan mga kabuahan ninda sa kongeso para maghaloy lang si Gloria Baggins sa pwesto, HABANG PIGRIRILIGIDAN NIN MGA PAHINGURAG NA DARAKULAON NA GAPO AN MGA ALBAYANO(na mismo sa mga oras na ito may pahalabang gapo man an nagliligid sa kaniya)

Lingawan ta na an. Dyos ko Lord!
Kun malingawan mo yan, Maurag ka!

Kun maurag ka na, mas mamaray an buhay. Maray baga, kun gabos maurag. kaya lingawan mo na. lingawan ta na an naaagi.

Kun arog kaan. Makapuon an Albay. Mapapakaray an Maramok. Malilinigan an Maati. Mapapagayon an Makanos. Mapapahalaba an Halipot. Asin Magkakatrabaho an Warang Gigibo.Habo pa-no ni Salceda na magparatambay an tawo, sige lng daa kapadarakula kan mga ano ninda. kaya kun dakula na apply ka na sa kaniya.

I couldn't stop my giggling.... hehehehe Wen, I don't wanna comment on this any more.... Of all people, you know Joey well, tama ba ako?

What struck me with the comment is the fact that, what he was pointing out, na URAGON KA KUNG MALILINGAWAN mo na lang an. Yup... aint it applicable in lots of things? You just can't forget, although there are lots of times that the best thing to do is just to FORGET. Easier said than done though.

Nonetheless, salamat sa pagpapa ulok mo saku.... hehehe... small things that make me smile at a time I least expected it the most.

My Little Rascal!!!

It has been almost a year and a half since I gave birth to her. Literally, everything in my life has changed when she came out. My little Tyke as I used to call her as she is so fond of biting... sometimes she really can push me to my edge, but she has this way of cuddling up which will just wash your anger away.

I just cant believe that she has grown this big already. It seems just yesterday when I would lull her to sleep in my arms while she howled like a banshee. Gee when we were still at the hospital's nursery, she would wake all the kids out there with her cries. Well not much has changed, even till now, she has this temperaments of crying which even the saints may not be able to bear. Now, she has grown up into a very beautiful kid... a face that you could not resist specially when she smiles, indeed she is a charmer... I wonder where she gets that though? hehehehe... And young as she is, she definitely has a talent in acting. She can pretend that she is crying, pretend that she is sleeping and she can pretend that she has nothing to do when something goes wrong. Hehehe... another talent, and i wonder where she got this? hehehehe

My little pet and my little pest... it's hard to believe that despite her being a nuisance lots of times, I miss her presence when she isn't with me... Huh I just hope that she'd be a little kinder and would behave well. Love you Tyke!!!

Loved and Beloved, but never at the same time!!!

It has been actually quite a while since I have personally talk about love. I guess what I have gone through held me at a bay and made me think all over again as to how I really understand this word.

It's already a touche' that there is not but one meaning of love. It varies to each and every individual... love is more like beauty, dependent on the person who feels it.

I've been ask by a friend if I have ever been in love. If I had this question several months ago, I would've said yes with out hesitation. A resounding yes, now, the answer would be it depends. If being in love means being with the person who is quite identical to me, my persona, my beliefs, my weird ideas, my mood swings, then the answer is no. I haven't encountered a person yet who is as ironic as I am. If it means, having a relationship with the person who is my anti thesis and always being at each others claws, then the answer would be yes. Now if your going to tell me that it should be with some one who sends shiver to my spines when ever I see him, guess I got to be scared because I feel this shiver with one of my professors back in college, the one whom I dreaded the most and tried my best to elude. (Don't ask who this teach is... grrr)... Going back to the issue of being in love... if I am going to base it on my own definition... the answer is NOT YET.. How do I understand love? Love means giving out your best and being the best that you are when you are in a relationship without jeopardizing either your personality or your partner's personality. Yes, it's compromising. When in love, it should bring you happiness, not the other way around.... it's also as ironic as I am.... like what I said this is my personal point of view with love. Have I been in love? I have loved some one unconditionally, and yes I have been loved unconditionally as well but never at the same time!!!

Don't get tired with love though... one day it will all fall in place that I will love and be loved at the same time.

Thanks God, It's Friday!!!

Of all the times that Ive been trying my best to avoid tardiness, I got tardy on this day. Wheew... there goes my attendance bonus, great that's worth 3k. I don't know why the alarm did not work. Is it by chance I've accidentally turned it off with out my knowing? Or is it the unseen creature who's living with us? So who's the freaking culprit?

Wheew, looks like this week has stored lots of disappointments for me. First my SSS contributions getting not posted, thanks to the ever dependable HR staff of my former company who excels in procastination and making life tedious for us. I was just wondering why the big boss wont sack him, he is a freaking pest! He is more of a liability than asset.

Any way, by the way hi way, I'm just glad that finally it's Friday, last day of work. Read the comment, yup Wen, I did get this idea from you. I just realized that at least when I got pissed or if I couldn't contain my emotions, I got somewhere to go to. No need jeopardizing the other blog for personal issues... hehehehe....

I'm just glad that it's Friday... looking forward to getting myself a good rest this week end... I hope, I'd have that chance!!!

Why we have to meet the wrong person?

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people before meeting the right
one
so that when we finally meet the right person, we will know how to be
grateful for that gift.

When the door of happiness closes, another opens, but often times we
look so
long at the closed door that we don't see the one which has been opened
for
us.

The best kind of friend is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing
with,
never say a word, and then walk away feeling like it was the best
conversation you've ever had.

It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose it, but it's
also
true that we don't know what we've been missing until it arrives.

Don't go for looks; they can deceive. Don't go for wealth; even that
fades
away. Go for someone who makes you smile because it takes only a smile
to
make a dark day seem bright. Find the one that makes your heart smile.

May you have enough happiness to make you sweet, enough trails to make
you
strong, enough sorrow to keep you human, enough hope to bring you joy.

Always put yourself in another's shoes. If you feel that it hurts you,
it
probably hurts the other person, too.

The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
they
just make the most of everything that comes along their way.

The brightest future will always be based on a forgotten past, you
can't get
on well in life until you let go of past failures and heartaches.

When you were born, you were crying and everyone around you was
smiling.
Live your life so that when you die, you're the one who is smiling and
everyone around you is crying.

Just starting out....

I just realized that perhaps it would be best if I'll make another blog for personal discussions specially those that may contain, how shall I call it, sensitive issues of my life.

Ones that will be an avenue for my frustrations, anger, situations that wont hold back any of my sentiments... in short this blog is going to get personal.

No pretentions, no cover up, just baring it all.

To those who will pass and drop by my blog, feel free to shoot a comment or just enjoy reading....

Welcome... as you take a glimpse on my life, be careful though the lights may be blinding and it may hurt your eyes....

Nonetheless, welcome aboard...
