Knock, knock.. who's there?
"I'm gonna knock on your door
Ring on your bell
Tap on your window too (tok tok tok)
Come on and open your door
So I can show you more
I'm your friendly Electrolux man"Opportunity is knocking, hence the tune of this 80s tv commercial keeps playing on my mind. Heeeeeeeeeeyyyyyyyyyyyyyaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhh.... aaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!
Countdown
15 more days til my last day of work. Feels like it's so near yet so far away pa. Afterwhich, I'm really excited to spend the rest of my days with my one true love, Benito.
This morning, he gave me an inquisitive look when he saw me getting ready for work. Darn, it just melts my heart to leave him all the time.
Yey, yey, yey!!! Lapit na!
Since bored naman ako..let's try this out..
Tagged! This is what you are supposed to do. Cut and paste if you decide to participate in the tagging game.
Each player of this game starts off by giving six weird things about themselves. People who get tagged need to write in a blog of their own six weird things as well as state the rules clearly. In the end, you need to choose six people to be tagged and list their names.
After you do that, leave them each a comment letting them know you tagged them and to read your blog. HERE I GO..
1. When I was 3-4 years old, I claim to have dwarf friends. We were living in Mandaluyong then. My friends' names were Susan and TY. Mag-asawa daw sila. I would always talk out loud while playing alone, as if nga may mga kausap ako. However, I have no recall of ever seeing actual tiny people. But according to me daw, their colors are red and green - so of the friendly kind sila. But what's weird is.. one day I just came up to my Mom and gave her a very small banig hat with a strand of white hair and a bunch of old coins na panahon pa nung world war II ata. My friends gave it daw to me. And then when our family moved to Merville, my friends migrated to the States na daw, sabi ko. Hee.
So once in a while when I still think of it, I mean whether true or not, they really must've brought my family suwerte. Feeling ko lang :-)
2. I hate the sound of styrofoam being rubbed together. Or the sound of styrofoam when it is rubbed against a box. Or when you force the styrofoam to fit in the box. Uugghh. You know, when you purchase a new tv or stereo and then upon removal of the equipment is that eeekkyy sound. Hate it.
3. I have this big difficulty of buying only one (1) of mostly everything. For example, same style of shirt in 4 colors. 2 dozens of chocolate chip cookies. 2 Baby Einstein CDs. 2 milk powder dispensers. 2 feeding bottle brushes. 2 big bags of disposable diapers. 2 brands of diapers. 2 pairs of shorts, one khaki and one white - same style. Basta. Ayoko ng isa lang. As in hindi talaga puwedeng isa lang. Kaya pagdating sa grocery, good luck parati. Hhaaayyy.
4. I am a pasmado perzone - hands and feet. Always wet. So at times when they are dry, I feel uncomfortable. So what do I do? I put my hands on my mouth and slather some laway on them. Yuck no? But yes, I love it. Love it, love it!
5. I discovered the magnetic force of clitorial orgasm when I was 4 years old. With the use of our toilet's bidet/panirit. Pano nangyari yun? Basta one time lang when I was washing my little keplers there was this rising feeling when the water hits it. And then before I know it, aayy.. tumitirik na ang mata ko. So from then on, if I wanna get "kiliti" by that paniret, I would sit on the toilet bowl facing the tank para I'm like riding the paniret. Talk about sweet innocence ano? Love it! Nyahahaha.
6. I have this talent for creating funny sounds for people and creatures I am fond of. Leoy and Nyuv's name were my pauso. Aschigibobits for Benito. Theethurshgk for my daddy. Pringles Jabingles for Ringo. Chikakiks for Chiquita. Puunnchow for Pancho.
Nakuu.. since I don't have too many friends I have no one else to tag na. Naubos na kaka-tag ang chums. Haayyy. Heniweyz.. enjoy :-)
Milestone
Today marks my last working day as a "dalaga." I have filed my maternity leave effective tomorrow, Jan.20 - and am expecting Little Tobi to say hello to the world sometime next week. Gead. Di ko kaya ang excitement!
I've long wanted to be a consistent blogger.. really. But I am often intimidated by shortage of words. Actually, I'm just super conscious of constructing my sentences but I really wanted to make lots of kuwentos and share thoughts on pregnancy, motherhoods, singlehoods (I'm referring to a jailer father hence singlehood pregnancy), angers, bucket of tears while watching Bituing Walang Ningning, cravings, paranaoias, etc etc - you only have to blame it on pregnancy hormones.
In summary, despite it being hormonally difficult in the beginning, I cherish every single day of nurturing my little one inside of me. And even if I did say in the past that as soon as he comes out, I will spanker him because of all the extreme morning sickness I experienced during my first trimester.. I'm sure that by the time we finally meet, I will be the tearful mother full of emotions you see on tv commercials.
I am just excited to see myself when I go back to work from my maternity leave. I will be soo different by then - emotionally and mentally.. sana calm and composed but definitely stronger :) Talk about work, although I hardly am ever appreciative of this company I've been working for for close to 7 years now, I am actually going to enjoy paid leaves for more than 2 mos plus my SSS maternity compensation which is a whopping ..tantararan.. 30K. Whoah! Not bad huh. I'm guessing.. that could be like a 6mos supply of diapers or 40 cans of formula milk for Benito. Thank you, PMN! Weeheew!
So, before the clock strikes 6pm today.. goodbye for now workloads, proposals, *$%!@ clients.. whoahahah! You'll see me again in hot hot summer as a hotter hotter momma.. rawr.
Can somebody tell me..
kung ano nang nangyari sa:
1. Serg's Milk Chocolate
2. Coney Island ice cream
Yummmmmm.
What's Your Name, Little Mouse?
God. Magiging Mommy na nga ba si Din?!? This is my baby at 8 weeks. More like a bubwit diba? Out of hand ang excitements at fun na eto. Promise.
So lately, I've been contemplating on baby names for my little one. Although I'm not due until February, exciting na din ang name planning.
For boy names, I want of Spanish origin, para very Pinoy din since we're used to Español naman. And for me, it's very manly eh. But for girl names, ayoko ata ng Español dahil very Amor and Corazon ano.
Henihoo, here are some of my top wants:
1. Mateo Herminio
Mateo means "gift of God". Swak na swak eto! At syempre pa, hindi puwedeng hindi isama ang pangalan ni legendary Lolo Minyong. Nickname: Mati. Geads. How cute!
2. Julian Arturo
Julian means "youthful" (pron. "hool-yan") In terms of meaning, wala masyadong symbolism pero okay lang. Oh, but according to Pasky, there's a Katipunero by the name of Julian Montalan. Well, alam mo naman ang tatay.. idealistic, patriotistic, nationalistic at kung anu-ano pang "istic". Kaya nga jailer eh. Arturo is Pasky's name so isama na din natin ang pangalan ni Daddy Art.
3. Angelica Christine
Angelica means "angelic". I kinda like this name also. No nickname. She has to be called Angelica. Christine, because my mommy's name is Cristinita. So derived from Lola ang second name.
4. Juliana Christine
Juliana means "soft-haired." (pron. "jool-ya-na") Again in terms of meaning, nonsense siya ano pero I kinda like this name. Nickname: Julia. Never na kung very Palermo or Clarete. Or, daughter of Goma and Lucy.
5. Other girl names in my mind: Isabela (Belle), Sophia (Sophie) and Francesca (Chesie).
6. Benito also sounds cute ano? It means "blessed". Nice din. Benito Herminio. Gggrrr.
Am I too excited or whuth? Kcuf! Kcuf! Kcuf!
Surprise, Surprise!
Last Monday, my 3yr-old car's a/c broke down.
Sabi ng talyer kanina, 36K daw para ipaayos.
God. Pampaanak ko na yun eh. Naiiyak ba ko ngayon??
