Beware of Copycats

I recently stumbled upon a fellow blogger and W@wie friend Cheche about a copycat who copies entries from other else’s blog. I know my post is so damn late na because if you’ll gonna go snooping on the culprits blogsite, some … I mean almost all of her entries were already deleted. She even taken out her photo and chatbox because of the numerous horrible anonymous messages she have received. Akala niya siguro hindi malalaman yung pinaggagagawa niya. she’s been doing it for a year already. Biruin mo yun, parang may dalawang blog ka nun. As in parehong-pareho yung content. If you want to know the whole story, you can find it HERE and also continue to read the most recent before that, with some photos in it.

She copies digiscraps, entries, photos … more worst than a plagarism … she even claim somebody’s nephew as hers … buti nalang di niya kinopya yung scraps ko with me and Jason at baka i-claim niya na pinsan niya ako or whatever … sasampalin ko siya ng sandamakmak na mga salita na ayaw na niyang marining sa tanan ng buhay niya. Nakakaawa mga biktima niya. Nagpapakahirap ilabas ang kanilang creative juices to come up with something tapos etong donkeymonya na to eh kukunin at iki-claim niya na kanya? susme! Pwede naman niya i-copy paste pero give credits naman dun sa pinagkopyahan mo … dagdag traffic din yun no! (sabay ganun eh no?)

I hope this is the end … I mean sana wala ng gumaya sa kanya. Kaya from now own, lahat ng photos and digiscrap ko lalagyan ko na ng watermark. Baka mamaya eh kung san lupalop na pumupunta mga photos and digiscrap ko eh di ko pa malalaman. More worst, someone would claim na husband nila ang hubby ko … hello! Over my dead body… subukan nyo lang.

The Perks of a Preggy Wife

After I got Dad’s N93i phone a month ago, last Thursday we went to Trinoma. After letting him read an article that the best shoes for pregnant women are Crocs, Jason already give in on buying me a pair. Of course, he bought one for himself as well. By the time I went to Crocs, I know kung ano ng gusto kong kulay at gusto ko ng bilhin. Pero pagdating dun, ang dami ng variety, may mga new arrivals pa. Naloka nanaman ako … I tried one of their Mary Janes… kaso wala akong size na available kahit anong color. Nung triny ko naman yung sa kids, medyo sakto naman sa paa ko yung size. I thought madidismaya ako nung araw na yun. Pero wag ka, the salesperson offered that I should try their Girls Alice Crocs.

When I’ve tried it on, I can hear it screaming buy me! buy me! And I did bought it. Thanks to my super duper loving husband. Jason bought an Off Road Crocs in Chocolate. Yup pareho kami ng color, nataon lang, hindi sinadya. He’s planning to buy another pair pero baka next year na daw. Yung pinaka-gusto niya kasi na style eh wala siyang size. Siyempre di naman ako papayag na di niya ako bilhan ulit. Nyek… demanding!

Since all my pants are getting tighter and tighter every week, I’ve decided to buy a new pair of pants. Pero i bought a maternity pants na … though my tummy is not that visible na pregnant na nga ako eh inisip ko na dapat yung bibilhin ko eh magagamit ko na hanggang manganak na ako. We went to Havin’ a Baby. According to my pregnant friend, Pittipat eh their pants daw has adjustable garter depending on your preference. Kaya dun ako bumili. Medyo pricey nga lang pero magagamit ko naman siya kahit hindi na ako buntis. If you’re a first time mom, may gift ka sa kanila. I have a bag full of free stuffs like Huggies diapers, lotions and baby wash, sample detergents for infant clothes, Mommy Pages and a Mommy Academy mag. Super natuwa ako, feel na feel kong buntis talaga ako and I can’t wait to use them already. Kaso maghihintay pa ako ng 6 months… di bale mabilis nalang yun hehehe.

I also saw a dress sa Havin a Baby that I can use on a friends wedding on December 8. Kaso si hubby umiral nanaman ang pagka-bagnet. Minsan ko lang naman daw gagamitin yun kaya it’s not practical to buy that certain dress for that occasion. It’s like one of those dresses Karen Davila wore on TV. 3/4 sleeve na empire cut dress. It’s so pretty swear to God. I’ve tried to look for a dress at SM Fairview, unfortunately, puro dark colors ang available. Di naman pwede magdark color sa isang wedding unless the couple asked you that it’s a black night. Kaya I’m sure mapipilitan nanaman si hubby na mabili yun dahil 2 weeks nalang eh December 8 na. Wala na masyado time … at di lang yun, di rin ako pwede mapagod para lang maghanap.

Last Wednesday naman, sumama ako sa Kuya ko at kapatid ko sa SM Fairview. Magbabayad ng bill si Kuya and my kid brother will buy an enamel paint para sa bahay. Sumama ako since it won’t take much of walking dahil konti lang errands. Nagkaroon din ako ng chance to go to the beauty section of SM Dept. Store and saw my favorite lip balm (Blixtex Lip Tone) now already out in the market again. And medyo naging cheaper siya, P85.oo nalang. Since dalawa nalang ang natitira sa rack, pinakyaw ko na! Binili ko na pareho. Baka mawala nanaman kasi eh mahirapan nanaman ako maghanap. I’ve been looking for that certain brand for 2 months already.

Six months nalang until I’m out of excuses, kaya samantalahin while it last hahaha! Sarap maging buntis … kaya I super love it so far. I’m sure mas marami ako mapapasaya pag nanganak na ako. Marami na naghihintay sa baby ko eh. Pero wala ng mas excited sa kanila kundi ako at si Jason

Lost in Space

I was bitten by a lazy bug. It’s true nga yata, when you’re pregnant, lagi ka nasa tamad mood. Kung nasa masipag mood ka naman, nagiging lazy naman yung eyes mo, ayaw matagal sa computer, ayaw manood ng TV ng matagal, ayaw din magbasa ng mga libro kasi sumasakit ulo mo at nahihilo. Ang hirap di ba? Nakakawindang!

I know madami akong utang na kwento. Unti-untiin natin yan. Pasensiya na at di ako nakaka-update ng blog. And pasensiya na din sa mga ka-bloggies ko na hindi din ako nakakapag-bloghop! I’ll try to drop by as often as I can. Alam ko madami na din nagtatampo… pasensiya na talaga ha.

Baby J now 12 weeks

Yup, 12 weeks na si baby J and graduate na din sa wakas ako sa first trimester. Almost 3 months naka-house arrest ako because of the dreaded hemorrhage. But now, it’s already uplifted. Pwede na ako lumabas, pero di pa din ganun ka-grabe! Hindi ako pwede maglakad ng matagal, nakatayo ng matagal. At bawal din matagtag. Pero pwede na ako magtravel. Stop na ako from taking Duphaston and folic acid. I’m now taking ascorbic acid and Clusivol OB as multivitamins.

Baby J is fine according to his heartbeat sabi ni OB. Medyo malikot nga si baby kasi super hinanap talaga ni OB kung nasan siya, pag naririnig niya bigla nawawala. I can hear its heartbeat more louder than before. Kaya alam ko lumalaki na talaga siya. Here’s how my baby is growing inside me according to babycenter.com:

Fingerprints have formed on your baby’s tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you’re having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

Sudoku

I’ve seen a Sudoku book last year when my tita from the US brought this for my cousin as pasalubong. Since it’s a logical game, hindi ko siya pinansin. Medyo diyan ako mahina minsan eh, sa mga logic ek-ek. Pero I have that game in my palm held. But since my palm held is out of use this past few months (and still looking for a shop that sells chargers for Palm Helds) eh medyo gusto ko i-try na mag-Sudoku using pencil and paper. Challenging di ba? Bumili ako ng Sudoku game Easy from Summit Media Publishing. At first medyo nahirapan ako. Pero habang tumatagal super addicting nga siya. Eh kaso easy lang yung binili ko, ano kaya feeling nung medium at expert? Binilhan ako ni brother ng Samurai Sudoku Sensei. Susme, dala ng kayabangan ko ayan wala ako masolve na puzzle… super hirap kaya! Dapat pala yung medium at expert booklet lang muna binili ko. Lagi ako nakakatulog pag may sinasagutan akong puzzle. Ahihihi feeling ko dudugo ang ilong ko pag sasagot ako ng puzzle dun sa book na yun. Pero I’m not giving up, still working on it. Ako pa, di ako sumusuko agad. Go lang ng go hehehe.

~*~ooOoo ~*~

At yun lang muna … next time na ulit ang kwento, kasi antok na ako, at antok na din ang baby ko.

What’s in my Wallet

I was tagged by Rhea. Now it’s my turn to do this meme.

I’ve been using my Marithe Francois Girbaud wallet for about 5 years now. This was one of the stuffs I first bought for myself when I got my 2nd job. Madami pa akong ibang wallet, pero nothing beats her versatility and feel ko swerte siya sa akin kaya di ko siya pinapalitan.

Inside my wallet besides emergency cash (mga natitira sa intrega ni hubby hehehe) are the following:

1. Identification Cards (Driver’s License, Postal ID, BIR, my old company ID)
2. Discount Cards (Tokyo Tokyo, Rustan’s Fresh Card and Mercury Card)
3. Picture (Jason and me, Grimace and me)
4. Credit Cards (loyal sa Citibank… dati 7 credit cards yan, dinispatsa ko na yung iba.)
5. ATM Cards

Now I’m tagging: Mai, Wella, Wanda, Cheryl, and Ibyang

11 weeks and still counting!

I’ve been a bad blogger this past few weeks. Sorry about that… it’s the pregnancy thingy … Mabilis ako ma-bore… nauseous and frequent headaches from time to time. Back pains are now tolerable. Medyo nagiging masarap ako kumain ngayon pero buti nalang I haven’t gained much weight. Pero sabi naman nila sa 2nd trimester ka talaga lolobo hihihi.

Since house arrest ako, I haven’t shop anything for myself (maternity clothes etc.). Haven’t had my foot scrub for 3 months now, and I could feel na super nagtatampo na ang feet ko dahil ang pangit pangit na niya huhuhu. Pimples are now visible on my face and even in my chest and belly. Hay o hay, sabi ni OB normal daw yun kaya never worry.

Last October 28, na-emergency ako because of my asthma. Muntikan na ako nawalan ng oxygen. I was kinda worried about the baby kaya I told my Dad na itakbo na ako sa hospital. Wala kasi si Jason nun, nasa Cebu. He’s so worried, muntik na umuwi ng Manila ng di oras. Pero ok naman ako after 3 nebules every 10 minutes. Super nanginginig na ang mga kamay at paa ko nun. Pero ngayon ok na ako.

Last Oct 31, went to my Ob for my check up. We already heard baby j’s heartbeat using a doppler … nung nasa hospital kasi kami, hindi nadinig ng mga doctors yung heartbeat niya. After a few days, nung si OB na ang nag-try pakinggan ang heartbeat, ayun narinig niya na, and it’s normal naman daw for it’s age kaya the baby’s fine. Thank God! Sa dami ng medicines na tinitake ko … susme kinakabahan talaga ako for baby J.

According to babycenter.com, this is how my baby is growing:

Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

She’s already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won’t feel your baby’s acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.

Hmmm … nag-aacrobatic act na pala siya ha… pero yun nga lang, di ko pa siya na-fefeel … baby J just hang in there, mommy and daddy will take care of you. Just don’t give mommy a hard time ok We love you so much and we can’t wait to see you in May.
