they would lift every rock, search every corner, and toss up every pile just to look for you even if you don’t want to be found because they want something…. and yet, when they don’t need anything from you, they’ll ignore you like an unwanted garbage. 
just ranting (a bit)!
Mom used to remind Dad to place a clock on their bathroom (he keeps forgetting!). I remembered laughing about it. Why would she want to have a clock there? She said so she could track the time while taking shower especially when she’s in a hurry for an appointment.
What I thought before to be absurd I now actually find very convenient. I placed a small clock in our bathroom so I don’t have to go to the living room to look at the time. With the clock inside, I can easily keep track of the time while showering or working especially since our washing machine is there. One day while loading the dirty clothes in the machine I wanted to check the time but couldn’t find the clock on top of the counter. I know it’s M who took it so I promptly asked him to return it there. I’m beginning to be like my mom! 
Clock, watches… they’re essential in keeping me organized. I don’t go out without a watch too. I feel at loss when I don’t know what the time is. But since my fave watch is out of battery, I just use my mobile phone instead coz my other watch is too formal to wear for everyday use. Read the rest of this entry »
My bags are packed, finally I’m ready to deliver you my dear baby anytime you want to come out! I have everything that I’ll need in the hospital including your tiny stuff. All the preparation has been done; your room, your crib, your clothes, your bathing stuff and other essentials to welcome your arrival. I really don’t like waiting, but right now that’s all I do, waiting with much excitement for the day you’ll pop out.
Will God answer my prayer? Will you arrive this week as I have been wishing for?
I’m amazed at myself today. When there are times I complain that I’m such a lazy bug, today is totally different. I’m so full of life and energy!!! As of this writing I was already able to write 12 posts not including this one. And I still plan to write more later. Oh okay, count in yesterday too with 10 posts and at night I still had the zest in helping my mom with her blog. I like it when I’m productive. Perhaps it’s my body’s way of keeping my mind off from thinking about my upcoming delivery.
We had an appointment with doc today, 9am but it wasn’t until 45 minutes later when our turn came. Tummy was grumbling, I was grumpy. I had a long fasting since last night coz they’ll take more blood samples from me. No food since I woke up in the morning. It’s unfair. Doctors are paid for their time, but if they are the cause of delay, they don’t pay US for OUR time they’ve WASTED!!!
No more ultra-sound this time. I complained to doc about Saturday’s incident (have to blog about this yet), but he said it’s common for a person with low blood pressure. I asked him if it weren’t signs that I’m anemic. The blood samples they took today would determine that yet. Anyway, he prescribed iron tablets for me to take. So I guess I’m really iron-deficient.
10:30am – Mart and I were munching hungrily at Mc Donald’s for a very late breakfast. grrrrr!!! He was as furious as I was for the delay in the clinic. For sure many clowns were already patiently waiting for him to show up in the office and the 3 hours he missed would have enabled him to accomplish tons of work!
12:28pm – Now I’m sleepy and a bit hungry. I’ll be out again with friends tonight so I’ll need to rest.
Caukeee!
Friday afternoon was spent tidying up our place for the landlady’s visit the following day. Fortunately M was able to scram out from work at 5 (which is supposedly the time his work ends everyday but yeahhh, he’s always overworked!). So there we were busy watering the plants, vacuuming all the rooms, wiping off the dust from counter tops, tables, etc. M did most of the work actually while I did what my little bloating self would allow me.
We’ve amassed a big bulk of garbage over the week mostly water & milk bottles and pizza boxes. Decomposing trash goes to separate garbage bag which M drops off on his way to work during mornings. We’re such an efficient team! After an hour or two we have a spick and span place again!
Then my bad luck happened. While I was pottering in our balcony garden, I thought of arranging the plants. When I moved the cactus pot, it tilted and lost balance. My instinct told me to grab it… I grabbed it all right, first the pot but the cactus was too heavy so I held firmly on its thorny body. Utter terror! Screams of pain! M was quick to come to my rescue but my hands we’re already bruised with fine red thorns. Sakit! 
I actually cried like a small child hehehe.
It’s ours… I got the good news from Mom exactly a week ago.. I was teary-eyed coz of joy! What a blessing! Thank you so much Lord! muahhh
