I’ve been craving mangga and bagoong since Thursday. Only last night I got the chance to eat one. When Jason bought me the mangoes, I was eating mangga with salt only. When Dad bought me mangga last night, he also bought bagoong with it. OB told me I can eat them but not much of the bagoong. And so I did. But I’m kinda guilty about eating it because we all know I’m allergic to bagoong. After eating those, I felt different. Dumadami ang pantal, and medyo nagiging itchy na rin. I stopped eating. I didn’t finish it all. Maybe my baby doesn’t like it. Good thing lumabas yung allergies ko sa skin. Mas mahirap kasi na hindi siya lumabas… baka yung baby ang maapektuhan. From now on, I won’t eat mangga with bagoong again. I’ll just eat it with salt. Siguro dapat sa pizza at pasta nalang ulit ang craving ko? What do you think?

How are you today?
I’m fine but a little bit sleepy. It’s raining outside by the way. It’s a little chilly out there.
Soup
Name 3 television shows you watch on a regular basis.
The 3 TV shows I religiously watch is CSI New York, CSI Miami and CSI Las Vegas. I remembered before when I was watching Charmed. My week is not complete without watching it 
Salad
What’s the scariest weather situation you’ve experienced?
When I was working in Laoag, Ilocos Norte, I experienced one of the strongest storms in the Phils. It brought Ilocos Norte to a state of calamity. The flood is already more than knee deep and we’re living beside a river. So if that river overflows, I’m sure our house there would be flooded. It’s 3 days no electricity and no telephone connection. I can’t even go to the office because of the flood.

If you could wake up tomorrow morning in another country, where would you want to be?
Probably, I’ll be in Paris … one of the most romantic places in the world

What do you usually wear to sleep?
I usually wear a tank top and shorts. But if it’s cold, I wear pajamas.
Today’s craving!
Spinach Ravioli
Mad Scramble Pizza
It’s not the original food I’m craving for. I was craving for mangga and bagoong the whole day. Siyempre mahirap maghanap ngayon ng mangga dahil hindi panahon. Medyo na-miss ko kumain sa D’Marks kaya nagpa-order kami ng pizza. Super tuwang tuwa ang mga kapatid ko at asawa ko tuwing may gusto ako kainin. Kasi nadadamay sila sa grasya! Wahahaha!
So far ang symptoms lang sa aking pagbubuntis ay very prone sa akin ngayon is morning sickness and nausea. Aside from that, I always eat every 2-3 hours I guess… pero di naman lamon yun ha… as in small servings lang. Kasi pag di ako kumain humahapdi sikmura ko and eventually nagto-throw up ako. Kaya it’s better kumain ng kahit na ano para lang magkalaman ang tiyan ko. Isa pang embarassing na nangyayari sa akin ngayon is madalas ako mag-burf and mag-fart. According to my OB and Babycenter.com it’s normal naman. Sish! Nakakahiya, minsan nga nasa public place kami, talagang ang hirap pigilan. Buti kung burf lang eh … puro fart eh waaaaaaaah!
Buti nalang last night, ang dami dala ni dad na fruits. Suha, lansones at pinya galing Cagayan de Oro. Grabe ang sarap! Actually ngayon ubos na siya hehehe! Walang natira. Yun kasi ang kinakain ko pag nagugutom ako. And good thing madaming pineapple juice. Kaya after I eat, I drink a glass of pineapple para ma-lose ang mga bad cholesterol. Plus healthy for baby.
Medyo nasesermonan na nga ako ni hubby. Eh paano hindi pa nga daw full grown si baby eh super duper lakas ko kumain. Di niya alam kaya ako malakas kumain is because of Baby J… hay o hay … I can’t wait to have my first ultrasound next week. I keep on praying baby’s healthy and fine.

Your pregnancy: 5 weeks
How your baby’s growing:
Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point, he’s about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He’s now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues.
The neural tube — from which your baby’s brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — is starting to develop in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel.
His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby’s muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue.
The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.
Tawa Trip!
I’m sure a lot of you are familiar with the 300 Ilonggo. A student named himself talibong1 did a voice over of the movie “300″ translated in Ilonggo. Or course nabago ang story, ginawang more funny (spoof nga kumbaga!). I don’t even understand Ilonggo, but with a little help of some Ilonggo friends, nagegets ko naman sinasabi nila and mind you, nakakatawa nga!
Eto yung part 4 ng spoof na yun … if you haven’t watched the 1st up to the 3rd part … search nyo nalang sa youtube.com under the name of talibong1. Enjoy!
Last Saturday, I’ve sent an email to our boss from Australia, letting them know my situation as of that moment. And early this morning, I got a reply from our boss. Here’s what’s in it:
Good day Sheryl,Congratulations for the good news about your pregnancy!
Its unfortunate that such potential employee is leaving us this early but the priority is clear therefore, with regrets we accept your resignation.
Thank you for letting us know your situation. God Bless you and your baby.
Regards,
Eleanor

A sign of relief… Punta na dapat ako ngayon to file my formal resignation. Unfortunately, nagka-sinat ako last night pa. OB told me to rest muna, saka na daw ako pumunta dun pag ok na ako. Masama daw nilalagnat pag buntis pero pag maaagadan walang problema. Lagi ko nga kinakausap yung baby kahit alam ko na di pa niya naririnig.
About my clinic visit last Saturday, clear na daw ang discharge ko (Thank God!) kasi last Friday pinag-absent niya ako dahil nagkaroon ako ng slight discharge na medyo brownish ang color. Sabi naman niya it’s only implantation bleeding. Pero kahit ganun, pahinga pa din ang kailangan. Kaya talagang nag-decide na kami mag-resign ako. On my 6th week is my first ultrasound with my baby. Makikita na namin kung ano na activity ginagawa niya. Hindi ko alam kung maririnig na din namin ang heartbeat, pero ang alam ko sa 8th week nalalaman yun. We’re quite excited about this one Wish ko lang ma-survive namin both ng baby ang first trimester. It’s one of the crucial stages in pregnancy … so help me God.
Yes, I’m back to being bum again … but what the heck! Ang kapalit naman nito ay isang sanggol na matagal na namin hinihintay ni Hubby It’s all worth it!
First Sign of Life!

According to Babycenter.com, I’m 4 weeks pregnant. My baby will be born on or around Wednesday, May 28, 2008.
After I got the job two days ago, here’s one good news naman. I haven’t visited my OB yet but I already called her and told her the good news. I texted her when I was on my way home. I told her that I’m having this pangangasim ng tiyan and some pagduduwal even if I’m so busog. She said ganun na ganun din daw yung symptoms ng ate niya na polycystic … ngayon pregnant na siya. Kaya nag-isip ako na magpreg-test kahit alam ko na wala pang one month. And there… POSITIVE! OB wanted to see me on Saturday to check if the baby’s okay. Mixed emotions … natutuwa ako na kinakabahan na di maintindihan.Again, Lord … you’re so good to us. Thanks so much for all the blessings!
Now the question is … Will I’ll still go to work or not? What do you think?
About my first day!
First, to all who wished me goodluck on my first day, thank you so much! mwah!
4:00a.m. ako nagising at diretso agad naligo. Ang lakas ng ulan sa labas, feeling binagyo ang first day ko. Sana lang di rin ako bagyuhin sa office sa unang araw ko. Umalis ako ng bahay ng 5:30. Nakasakay ako ng 5:45 … nakarating ako ng office ng 6:45. Ang aga ko, wala pa tao sa office. As in naka-lock pa! After 5 mins dumating na yung isa kong officemate na si Ms. R., at nasundan pa ng isa na si Mr. EM na may dala na ng susi.
At dahil maulan sa labas, na-late ang iba. Pagka-on ng PC, nag-good morning agad ang boss namin na si Mr. A. Since wala pa ako sa network nila, hindi ako nasabon. At bakit naman ako masasabon, wala pa ako ginagawa hahaha! Mababait lahat ng officemates ko. Kahit yung secretary namin na si Ms. L ay super bait. Kasabay ko na din sila naglunch … Nandun si Mr. K, si Ms. J, Si Mr. EA at si Mr. C… si Mr. AF absent, kasi sinamahan ang kanyang wifey magpa-check up. Hay buti pa sila 
sabay ganun!
Puro orientation ako ngayon araw na ito. Pero nung mga 3:00pm na, medyo nahiya na ako na walang ginagawa sa kinauupuan ko. Kaya humingi na ako ng gagawin. Buti nalang may naka-ready na. Balak kasi nila bukas ako isabak sa gera… este sa trabaho pero dahil nag-insist ako na may gawin, ayan nagtrabaho na ako. I’m 50% done with what Mr. EA gave me. And I’m damn proud of it. Yey! Bukas sana matapos ko na yun before lunch time. Para bago naman na ang gagawin ko after lunch.
At dahil 7:oo ang pasok ko, nakauwi na ako ng 5:oop.m. pero sa sobrang hiya ko hindi agad ako nakatayo at 5:30 pa ako nakaalis hehehe. Dumaan muna ako sa Robinsons Galleria … nabanggit ko ba na malapit lang dun ang office ko? Siyempre na-miss ko ang Robinson, tagal ko na di nakakapunta dun. Anyway, medyo nainitan ako sa paglalakad kaya nagpalamig muna ako sa mall. Ngunit di pa ako nakakatagal eh naramdaman ko ang hilo at para akong naduduwal. Sabi ko sa sarili, “not the right time to window shop… need ko na umuwi”. And so I did.
Nagpasundo ako kay hubby sa babaan ng bus, mukha kasing matutumba na ako sa hilo. Nung dumating na kami sa bahay at kumain… akalain mong nawala ang pagkahilo ko at pagduduwal … NAGUGUTOM LANG PALA AKO … hahaha! Akala ko kung ano na eh. Hahaha!
Yun lang po … kung ano pa ang mangyayari sa mga susunod na araw eh malalaman nyo rin. Sa ngayon eto na muna
Again, Lord, thank you po sa lahat!
I got in!
I got a call around 9:00 a.m. this morning. It’s Loise from AAA and she told me if I’m still interested working with their company. Of course, sino ba naman tao na walang work ang hindi interesado magkaroon ng trabaho di ba? So I said, YES, I’m still interested. And she told me that I can start ASAP … siyempre nagulat ako. I wasn’t expecting na matatanggap ako dun. And she said nga na mag-start na ako tomorrow. I-oorient nalang daw niya ako. Huwaw ang saya!
Thank you Lord!
Siyempre, hubby is happy for me. Sa wakas wala na daw mangungulit sa kanya na magpapabili ng kung ano-ano. Of course he was joking hehehe! Eh mega kurips kasi yun, kaya yung pwede niya bilhin ngayon for me, medyo tumatagal ng 10 years wahahaha!
Office hours starts 7:00 a.m. and ends at 5:00p.m. 9 hours work para walang Saturday. And kaya 7:00a.m. ang start ng work kasi hinahabol yung oras ng Australia (2 hours ahead). Ang aga grabe … sana makayanan ko. Feeling ko nga papayat ako eh hahaha! Madaming lakad-lakad ang gagawin ko hahaha!
Wish me luck guys! Sana maganda ang first day of work ko at magtuloy-tuloy ng maayos.
Yun nga lang … hindi na ako makakasama sa Cebu sa October 
Hindi din kami magkasama sa anniversary namin huhuhu!
Halo-halo
Hindi yung pagkain ha… since 2 days nagloloko ang WordPress eh naghalo-halo na ang mga ikukwento ko. Sa sobrang tagal nakalimutan ko na nga yung iba na dapat kong i-blog. Nung mga panahon na ina-akala ko na ako lang may problem sa WP, eh nagtry ako mag-bloghop … sa kasawiang palad di ko din nagawa dahil pati blog nila di ko ma-access. Hmmm… bat kaya?
-ooOoo-
Eh kamusta naman daw yung job interview ko last Tuesday? Hmmm… the interview went ok. Phone patch from Australia ang interview ko. Parang nakikipag-usap ako kay Charlie, sa Charlie’s Angels. Muntikan na mag-webcam pero buti nalang hindi natuloy. Yung hands on exam … hmmm … oh it’s a tough one. Let’s just say, if kahapon lang ako nawalan ng work, it might have been so dumb easier. And since almost one year na akong NOT working, plus four years exposed on civil works… wala na ako masyado alam sa Architectural… or so I thought. Sinamahan pa ng kaba sa pag exam eh talagang mahirap nga yun hehehe! Yung isang friend ko nag-apply din dun. Sa awa ng Diyos pareho kami na di pa tinatawagan. Dalawa ang kilala ko sa office na yun, yung college buddy ko saka yung ex-officemate ni hubby na super duper galing sa rendering. Wish ko lang matanggap ako.
About the second job offer, wala pang balita hehehe!
-ooOoo-
Last Thursday naman, na-operahan sa mouth yung Samoyed namin na so na si Kimchee. May excess skin na tumubo sa ilalim ng dila niya. Eh hindi na siya makakain dahil nakakagat na niya yung namamagang kung ano man yun. Siyempre aso yun, di naman makareklamo yun. Basta iiyak nalang yun. Nakatingin lang kami ng kuya sa daan habang ginagawa ang operation. Kasi kinakabahan ka na baka di niya makayanan ang operation. Well, it’s a success by the way. She can now eat a whole bunch of feeds. Medyo hindi pa nga lang makatahol ng malakas kasi medyo nasasaktan pa siya pag tumatahol. Pero naglalaro na sila ng playmate niya na si Iwamoto. Thank you, Lord!
-ooOoo-
Lately, I’ve been feeling some pain on my back and sa puson ko. I told OB about this so she told me that I should lessen the intake of my Metformin from 3 doses to 1 dose a day. And true enough, medyo na-lessen… take note! Na-lessen lang ang pain. Tolerable naman siya. Ayaw lang niya na nakaupo ako ng matagal at nakatayo ng matagal. Gusto niya lang nakahiga. Hindi sign ito na ako’y … isa ng tamad? Susme! Wag naman sana. Alam ko hindi ganun ang signs ng pagiging tamad hahaha!
-ooOoo-
Naka-book na kami for Cebu on October 25 to October 30 … weeeee vacation galore to. I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it hahahaha! I told Jason na gusto ko ng Crocs. Hindi ko alam kung bibilhan niya ako pero I’m torn between two colors.
White (Pearl) is a universal color. Any color of clothes would fit that color same as black. Pero gusto ko din yung Sea Foam. Susme, eh ang mahal kaya ng Crocs. Kung dalawa bibilhin ko, baka mamulubi na kami nun. Pero ayon sa aking kuya, eh naglipana daw siya sa Uniwide Coastal Mall. Mga class A naman daw … hmmm… nakakuha tuloy ako ng idea hehehe.
At dahil malapit na ang Cebu trip, eh medyo nag-didiet na ako. Dahil sa Metformin, tumataba ako. Kainis! Sinabi mag-diet para magkaanak, tapos binibigay naman sa iyo pampataba … hay kakaloka ang life. Bat naman ganun? Anyway, nung time na bumibili ako ng blouse para sa aking interview, eh nakakita ako ng mga tee na parang pa-preggy look ang design. Gusto ko bumili nun para hindi mahalata ang mga bilbil ko. Sayang naman ang trip to Cebu kung namumukadkad ang bilbil ko sa tiyan hahaha! Sana nga lang eh hindi siya naubos nung sale. Baka kasi wala na yun ngayon eh humihirit pa ako kay hubby na bigyan niya ako money pang-shopping eh hehehe.
-ooOoo-
Addict ako sa Plant Tycoon ngayon. Kahit kasi naka-off ang iyong computer lumalaki at namumulaklak ang iyong mga plants. Mga 5 days ko na siyang nilalaro Super saya … dito lang ako nakakabuhay ng mga ganitong plants. Makes me wonder kung meron nga na ganitong plants sa totoong buhay hehehe!
