Some "ME" Time

Hubby and Li'l Princess is taking a short nap and here i am, all by myself trying to finish off camp rock 2 movie and blogging away....Moments like these are precious.. when you only have an hour or two for yourself, trying to pamper yourself with whatever resources available ( its dvd and internet this afternn) .... There's still the household budget to attend to and a full-script to read but for the meantime, i'm putting things on hold to give me a moment to recharge and enjoy the day.

Afternoon of Good Food and Good chicka

The Other day, my friend Kaye and I decided to unwind with an afternoon of good Food and Good Chicka at Nena's Bibingka in Cubao/Puregold. It was a spur of the moment thing, but it was worth it as we made chika about family and friends.

My usual favorite is a plateful of Okay and Tokwa't baboy .... While the kakanin especially the UBE Halaya is really good and a must-try. All told, for P75 you really get one of the best deal.

We ended the day with a promise to be back next week with Our Little Sis Eca before the stork delivers her first born....

Our First Spa-Experience

A lot have been said and written about pampering yourselves with a body massage from a reputable spa but Hubby and I only had the chance to experience it a couple of weeks ago when a dear friend gave us GC's for our wedding. We've always wanted to use it after My Big Day but we had a thousand and things to do until the GC expired. Good thing the people from Urban Escape Day Spa were kind enough to extend it for another week so we had the chance to have a blissful and relaxing moment.

Over-all, the experience was superb and we promise to come back soon once our schedule and budget permits......

To my kapatid Bel, Thanks again for the wonderful gift !

There are good days.... And not so good days....

Its dark outside, the sun has finally bid goodbye for the day as the moon and stars slowly make their way ... here I am watching my Princess doze off after almost an hour of handling her tantrums... (you know how todlers are when they try to fight off sleep)... and hubby is being consistent, throwing a tantrum as well just like his copy cat so i shooed him away to sleep.

Times like this make me sad.... I dont know why but i feel like going out of the house, go to the nearest mall, stroll, order pasta and ice cream and just be myself just for an hour or two... Or better yet, head off to the nearest spa and have a massage.... But that's wishful thinking specially if you're trying your best to stretch your finances to the next payday which is still a week away.....

So here I am with my "nini" in my lap, pouring out my thoughts as i sit beside my sleeping princess ..... I know its not one of my best nights but i guess i'm still lucky i get this time for myself and watch my Little Girl in an "ordinary/boring way".

I wouldn't trade places with a colleague who is watching close his Son in the hospital fighting off the dengue disease which I am confident that He will bounce back to recovery soon with all our love and prayers.....

Or be in the shoes of a Friend who holds a high position and receives probably triple or quadraple of what i get monthly but is faced with tons of stress and problems in her workplace which i'm sure she'll be able to surpass with flying colors and chin held high....

Or be like My Carefree Friend living a fast paced and comfortable life but not really sure what she's after, what will really make her happy and content .....

I know its been said a lot of times that we should count Our Blessings and not fret or whine for things we dont have.... So let me end this entry with a pat on my little Princess' cheek while still watching her sleep and a conclusion that there are good days and there are "not so good days".... and let this be one of those days......

MY JULIA'S ACHIEVEMENT

Hubby came home last Tuesday beaming with a big smile as he held out Our little Princess' Certificate along with her Report Card. Honestly, we werent expecting she'll be receiving anything since she's been absent lately due to illness but I guess she realy "has it". So proud and happy, I posted it right away for all to see. I know we're just on our first year of education and still has 2 decades to go but in the meantime, let us enjoy this milestone because she trully deserves it.

ON THE ROAD TO RECOVERY ...

So glad and thankful that My Little Julia is on her way to recovery after suffering from fever, rashes and mouth sores. And I am relieved when her pedia explained what she is going thru (Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease in Children), a viral disease which usually affects children below 5 years old .Nothing serious although of course, you wouldnt want your Little One experience any pain or discomfort. If you can only spare them from such ordeal.

Anyway, so happy that she is slowly bouncing back and on the way to recovery. She can now finish off a KFC one-pc chicken order and/or rounds of dinner..... She is also back in her "kulit and kalat" ways with her toys all over the floor.

Hopefully in a day or two everything will be back to normal again...... And I can really say goodbye to this ugly Viral Disease !

Worried About My Princess....

My Little Julia is still not in the pink of health and i'm really worried about it. Aside from being cranky , she lost her appetite and couldnt eat anything excepta half bowl of noodles.... she lost a lot of weight already and if this will continue on, we might end up in the hospital huhuhu.....

I'll do anything and everything just to take the pain away...Hope she'll get well soon
