Johanne's Naive Impressions

Migraine

2009-04-18T12:25:00.004-05:00

Migraine is a neurological syndrome characterized by altered bodily perceptions, headaches, and nausea. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, photobphobia or increased sensitivity to bright light, and hyperacusis or increased sensitivity to noise. Wikipedia.

I woke up at 7 am this morning. Its Saturday and I was supposed to do special music for sabbath school, instead, i had this terrible headache (which i unfortunately always have at least 2 to 3 times a week). Of course its my migraine again! and hello Excedrin early in the morning. I really really want to stop taking this med already! Sometimes they make my ears ring! and thats a major side effect! :( Of all people in my family, why me? Im the only one who inherited this horrible "disease" from my dad. Him and all his brothers always have migraines and i clearly remember them going through all these annoying pains! HMMMP! Anyway back to this morning, I was all dressed up but i just couldnt take the pain. I went back to bed, under the comforter and under all the pillows and i was screaming "turn off the light!!!". Alf turned them off but the window was still bright! Alfredo had to cover the window with another comforter! It horrible!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anybody going through the saem thing as me???? Im so sad i missed church! But im feeling a lot better now. Thanks excedrin.

Now Im gunna finish cooking my kare-kare! yay! Come over and lets eat!!!!

happy birthday julianne!

2006-11-17T01:19:00.000-06:00

I just decided that I am not letting anyone control my life anymore. Just wait and I'll prove you wrong! I'm not a loser! It's not my loss! Deal with it!

Im here in Texas!

2006-10-27T01:14:00.000-05:00

It's been 4 days... I'm happy to be here, but I'm not really in the mood to do anything. Its kinda weird. I used to be super hyper when I'm here, but now, I don't even feel like going around to see my relatives, or go to church. I don't want to talk to anybody but my family, or maybe Im just not ready to answer questions... whatever! I'm just not in the mood for anything.

Julianne is having so much fun here. She gets so excited... when she wakes up until she goes to sleep, she sees all these people who wants her, play with her, shes sooooo happy, it's like new to her. It's not like this in jersey.

This entry feels weird for me. I should stop right here... Im so lost!

every episode....... tears!

2006-09-25T16:46:00.000-05:00

Extreme Home Makeover. Its so hard not to cry on every episode they show. The premiere show was last night and the house was soooooo pretty.. ahhhh... i cant stop thinking about it. It was in alaska too. i wish my parents get that too. huhuhu.

Summer experiences

2006-07-31T18:50:00.000-05:00

During weekdays, julianne and i go to the beach accross 35. i walk her with the stroller since its only about half a mile away. We usually sit there from 4 to 7 pm. the view is very pretty. On the way there we stop by dunkin donuts to get my favorite iced coffee. Its funny coz the lady already recognize me and she doesnt even ask for my order anymore once she sees me coming in the store, and she would just hand me my iced cofee and tell me it's $2.34. Today, i was excited to go there, but when we reached the beach, julianne got irritated with the super hot and humid air and she wouldnt stop crying. So we just went home after about 15 minutes. Anyways, here's some interesting experiences i could share with you from this past weekend.

Remember me complaining about alfredo and his obsession with cars and racing? Well, right now his car is all fixed and done with all these crazy race stuff in it. One time we were on parkway, and there was this guy with a sports car (evo 8 mitsubishi) going pretty fast. Alfredo got excited and just went next to that guy's car, they looked at each other, and then started to go fast. I dont know whats with these guys how they get to read each other's mind and know that they both wanted to race. Anyways, i got soooooooooo scared, i just kept on screaming "stop, not with me and baby". Good thing our exit was a mile away and he slowed down. the other car just went straight on parkway. It didnt end there, another time he did it again at 36 going to the Tio's house. Its crazy.

Friday night we had to go to Walmart to buy Julianne's milk. On the way home another car hit the back part of our car. Julianne got so scared (she was at the back seat) and she cried so hard. Good thing it was on a small road joining a larger highway where they were running about 15 to 20 mph while we were on a stop ready to enter the highway once its clear for us to go. We didnt get hurt or anything, while on the other car, there were teenagers, they were all scared they started crying. Of course the driver apologized especially when tshe saw the baby and she couldnt stop crying. It was her first time to hit another car and i guess its her first car.. The other passenger was brought to the hospital, maybe she had a nervous breakdown, or maybe she didnt wear a seatbelt and hit her head. It was my first time to be in that scene, there were 4 police cars, an ambulance, our car, the other car, and other cars that came for the teenagers, and so many other people in uniform. Were fine, no injuries and i thank God for that coz we were able to go to church the next day. Alfredo's car, well, its needs a lot of fixing but its running, except that the bumper is loud and the car looks like it has a big booty now. hahaha.

Julianne's dedication (edited)

2006-07-24T22:30:00.000-05:00

Last Saturday was julianne's and Khrysta-ann's dedidation. It was one of the happiest day of my life. Everything for her and about her makes me happy. I was so excited for that day and we really prepared for it. Julianne was so pretty with her dress, and..... i cant explain my happiness... so just view the pics below...

EDIT: Woke up at eight am, july 22, 2006. It was the day i had been waiting for. Julianne's dedication day to Him. I prepared her new dress, gave her a bath, and put on her pretty dress that daddy bought for her. Me and Alf wore black and white to match julianne. At church, Khrysta-ann was also very pretty on her dress. After the sermon, pastor called us (lontocs and cornagos) up front and started the dedication service. Then, he said "all the family member's and friends please come up front and join them". I looked over the other side (cornago's side) and my heart sank, i was ready to cry. Khrysta-ann had everybody there with her, parents, grandparents, uncles and aunties. While on our side, there's julianne, me, alfredo, and our friends. I felt sad that my family couldnt be there with us coz theyre all the way in texas, and alfredo's parent's didnt go, i dont really understand why, but i know i invited them 2 months ago, and the night before, i left the directions to church too. My heart sank with those thoughts, i was ready to cry, but then i looked around us, there was ate rowena, marissa, auntie nitz, ryan, allen, larry, juni, and john. They stood there with us, for julianne, and because of that, i was able to hold back my tears. I smiled and said to myself, "these people are my family. I dont need to be sad. Today is special and its Julianne's dedication to God". Pastor prayed for the blessings, and all other pastors and church elders surrounded us while we were kneeling down. After the prayer, i sang a song entitled "Masterpiece" while the slideshow of julianne and khrysta-ann's picstures is playing. When i startted singing the verses of the song, i couldnt hold it anymore.... i cried, the song was so hard for me to sing... i was singing it with all my heart while i was looking at julianne. Here's the song lyrics:

MASTERPIECE

Before you had a name, or opened up your eyes

or anyone could recognize your face.

You were being formed, so delicate in size

Secluded in Gods safe and hidden place.

With your little tiny hands, and little tiny feet

And little eyes that shimmer like a pearl.

He breathed in you a song, and to make it all complete

He brought the masterpiece into the world.

CHORUS

You are a masterpiece, a new creation He has formed

And you're as soft and fresh, as a snowy winter morn,

And I'm so glad that God has given you to me,

Little Lamb of God, you are a masterpiece.

And now you're growing up, your life's a miracle,

Every time I look at you I stand in awe,

Because I see in you, a reflection of me

And you'll always be my little lamb from God

And as your life goes on each day,

how I pray that you will see

Just how much your life has meant to me

And I'm so proud of you, what else is there to say

Just be the masterpiece He created you to be

REPEAT CHORUS

What mother would not cry singing that song to her precious baby? The song was so touchy, i made a lot of people cry while i was singing it. Its hard crying while singing but i really tried my best to sing every word coz i was really feeling every word of the song. The song is just perfect. After, the service, we all went downstairs to eat, non-vege food and the famous pandan cake. The day was perfect.

2006-06-03T19:05:00.000-05:00

Hey guys!!! i miss you all.... i miss blogspot!!!! Anyway, Julianne and I are still in Texas... thanks to alf coz he didnt buy the tickets right away, we have to stay here til june 10. You guys remember my birthday gift (ring) at the barbeque last month? well that was only part one of my bday. Before we left for texas, alfredo (with the help of marissa) surprised me again, this time a dinner at a tex-mex restaurant (no idea what the name is). All i thought was that we're just going to walmart to buy julianne's luggage bag, so me and julianne we pretty much not dressed up, especially julianne who's only wearing her sleeping pyjamas, and when we got to the restaurant, our friends were the... it was embarassing, but it was touchy. My hubby is super sweet. that was the part two of my bday... and on the exact day of my bday here in texas, my parents gave me a part three. They brought me to olive garden (YUMMY!!!). After 8 years, i finally get to celebrate it with them and i was soooo happy. So what else happened here in texas? well.... we went fishing, at padre island, then i took the driver's license test just to try it, then i passed all of it and wallah!!! i have a license now!!!! yay!!! We also went back to padre island for my mom's bday and i drove halfway there. Hmmm... what else.... just view all these pics... you'll know how fun it is here.

hooray coz i got the slideshow to work!!!! now just view all these pics.... enjoy!!!

My very first mother's day

2006-05-14T21:00:00.000-05:00

Im always a person who writes down blogs in details.... so here goes.....

My first ever mother's day experience was hmmm.... how do I describe it? Its like the usual sundays I have with alfredo and Julianne... common... but what made it more special than the other sundays is that I am now a recognized mommy, and I'm loving it. Seeing Julianne everyday, her beautiful face, her eyes, her tiny hands and feet, its making me love being a mommy more. And today, I have realized more, and opened my eyes more, to the fact that I am actually a MOTHER, and will be for the rest of my life. I know this is one of the greatest things God enabled women to experience, and it is amazing.

My mom's day started with a hug and a greeting from hubby and baby, then a breakfast at Cornucopia restaurant with my family of course and the magsipocs, one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. Then I made a phone call to my mama and greeted her, and of course she greeted me back, which was also weird, coz im not used to it. I mean, she's my mom and I always greet her, and now, both me and my sisters are actually moms. I got a lot of text message greetings from friends too, plus the mother's day greets online from more friends (marissa, ate judy, janreine, michelle, ria, ate tata, amirah, jenn, ronelle, my sis jj). Simple as that, it felt overwhelming and exciting. Im so happy. Thanks guys. This afternoon we went to Teejay's work and bought julianne more stuff. Afterwards, we went to get a sub.... and i got my mom's day gift from alfredo!!! I love my mother's day gift!!!! Anybody wanna guess what i got? So anywayz, tonight Alf also brought me to my favorite fastfood stop, Dunkin doughnuts!!!! Im super happy coz i get to eat more than twice a day!!! Why not? Its all my favorite food. I was spoiled today. The sub, the iced coffee... yumyum.... Not that I couldnt eat more than twice a day, i just dont feel hungry that much. Hey i'm not anorexic..... So anywayz, that was what happened today... thats how I celebrated my first mom's day ever. Yeah you make think its very common, 'as usual' but for me it was special. Im a MOM! And today I was recognized as a mom. It's an amazing feeling.

So did you guess what I got for mother's day from alf? I got two TWIX bars!!!!! Yay for twix candy bars!!!! I love it!!!!

PS: Please pray for auntie angie cornago's mom, she's very ill in the hospital, also for the safety of auntie angie and the cornagos' as they travel to the philippines this week to visit their ill family member....

More PS: Yay we're going to Texas to visit my parents!!!! Im super excited!!! I'm gonna show off baby!!! hahahaha.....

More more PS: I'm worried about my NCLEX, thanks to you guys for your very sweet comments and advices (made me tear).

More more more PS: Congratulations to John "puti" Cerago!!! We were'nt there for your graduation party but we are super happy for you!!! Remember what I said on that message I wrote you!!! Looking forward to that!!!! hehehe, hey thats a serious joke!!! hehehe........

Julianne is the sunshine of my life

2006-05-13T20:53:00.000-05:00

Church day May 13, 2006

Julianne

I love dressing her up for church

Sitting next to daddy all by herself

"Im so shy, my hot tito ryan is chekin me out. Its so hard to be pretty."

"Like my bling?"

Ready for the beach!!!! Hello summer!!!

stress... it makes my thoughts go crazy

2006-05-09T14:53:00.000-05:00

The thought of taking my board exam is so stressful. Stressful because i am very afraid of failure. Afraid that my husband might think of me as useless if i dont pass, just so many things keep coming in my head and it makes me crazy. To pass this board exam means to get a white colored job, working at the hospital, get paid enough to finally stop depending on alfredo. Its not that i want to depend on him, its just that I have no choice. He had told me a lot of times, that unless i pass my nclex and become a registered nurse, he wont let me work. I dont wanna be a stay at home wife anymore. I had been a jobless wife since we got married, thats a year and 4 months, the time we had to wait for my permanent resident status, plus the pregnancy and the baby, and now i have to do something. The closer the day of my exam is coming, the more scared i am. I dont want to feel afraid of taking it. I have to get over this, but i dont know how! i fell like i wanna cry out loud and sream out all these feelings that bother me. I have never been so stressed about taking an exam before, ever in my whole life. What's going on? do i need a consult with marissa? I need prayers, a lot of prayers. Thanks to blogspot, at least i have this site where i could burst out my feelings coz i dont have anyone else to talk to right now, or else i would go crazy keeping it to myself. Right marissa?

my weekend

2006-05-01T18:37:00.000-05:00

It felt like a very long weekend. All in all it was one of the best weekends i have ever had. Saturday, we went to our new church. We love our new church. Its feels like a home. Finally we have our own! It was packed too. It was a very beautiful day to worship. There was a lot of food during the potluck, and we had the very famous pandan cake for auntie nitz and auntie merari's birthdays. That afternoon we went to ate Rowena's place for babeque. It was so much fun but i had to borrow Marissa's sweater and pants coz it was pretty cold. We didnt care about the 35 degrees cold weather coz the food was good and we just cant stop eating. Oh and my hubby surprised me too. He gave me my birthday gift and i was in tears. It was very awkward for me coz everybody was looking at us taking video and pictures and i was soooo stupid coz i didnt know how to react, i was just soooo shy like i didnt know what to do. It looked like he proposed to me again, but my reaction was just weird. haha. I didnt do anything, i was sooo shy to open the little box. I just put it in my pocket. Thats what happens when i am surprised, im just very bad on surprises. Sunday, we all met up at Leow's theaters at 22. We watched a scary movie and to be honest..... i didnt see about 40% of the movie, and i was crying on some part of the movie especially the most scary part. The whole time my left hand was on my left ear while i was leaning on alfredo to block my right ear, and my right hand was on my eyes. I was sooooooo scared, that after the movie, my arms and body was hurting for staying on the same position the whole time. Then we went to hooters to eat and then time to go home. When we got home, julianne was sleeping, the reason was because she got so exhausted crying. She didnt drink any of the milk i prepapred for her. She doesnt like formula milk coz she is sooo used to my milk. (TMI?). Poor baby julianne. Now i have work hard to make her drink the formula in case we need to leave her again to her lola...... fat julianne!!! hehehe....

edit: so for those who wants to know what i got for my bday, it was a super duper cute diamond ring, exactly the one i like. i told him a long tgime ago that if ever i get a diamond ring, i want a really small one. hehe. i didnt expect him to remember but he did.

For me it was blasphemy! (house)

2006-04-26T11:54:00.000-05:00

Yeah House last night was a show i didnt really like. I love House but last night it was just blasphemy. They are Just using His name like that, i mean we dont talk and say God's name like that. Its just weird for me watching it. But I still watched until the end of the show... well i have sinned!!! Im so bad... Next week, it'll be a 2 day show. Its very interesting.

American Idol, i want pickler out. She is just one contestant that doesnt even deserve to be there. She always mess up the songs or shall i say butcher the songs, and her voice is not that good compared to the rest of the contestants. What is she still doing there??? Anyway, i watched it with julianne while daddy was in the other room watching what else? car stuff. Here's a pic of me and julianne watching american idol.
Yay Grey's anatomy is coming back on sunday!!!! Im sooo excited.

church was fun!!!

2006-04-22T20:24:00.000-05:00

It was raining hard, but it was fun. the whole church was full, regular members and some visitors. Krysta ann and julianne saw each other again!!!! They were both soooo cute!!!!

Julianne smiling at kuya Mark

Krysta Ann

Kuya mark with Krysta and Julianne

50 degrees outside and everybody was cold but julianne was sweating in her fleece coat. Babies are weird. They sweat while we shiver.

Allie sleeping comfy with daddy

2006-04-17T18:03:00.000-05:00

Daddy's lilltle girl.... Julianne Allie loves to sleep beside daddy.....

The Fast and the Furious 3: Tokyo Drift

2006-04-12T18:15:00.000-05:00

I so wanna watch this movie. I saw the trailer and it was hot!!!! Who wants to watch it with me???

homesick

2006-04-11T17:33:00.000-05:00

Im so homesick... I wanna go to texas see my family, and at the same time, show off julianne (hehe).... Im so bored and lonely here.... :(

Anyway, here's a pic taken last sunday at a SEMA show. Julianne's first car show!!! Oh and she met the guy racer she saw on the show she watched with her daddy on tv called PINKS.

2006-04-06T13:22:00.000-05:00

I cannot believe Mandisa was out last night.... i was sooooo shocked, i mean talking about the voice, she has the best vocal i have ever heard...... i actually thought she was gonna win (but i didnt vote). But anywayz, sometimes ur good, sometimes ur not.... (Go ACE!!!)

I want a TIVO so bad!!!!!!

Julianne is 2 months old, shes growing bigger and fatter... and.... she's watching tv a lot. She just finished watching Dora and now she's watching Lilo and Stitch. She's very behaved (gave me time to update blogspot). Last night she watched PINKS (racing show) with her dad.... I took a pic and it was soooo cute looking at the two of them watching tv together.... hope she wont become a racer and be broke like daddy.... lol.....

the reality!

2006-03-31T20:10:00.000-06:00

I found this pic on ate wengs online photo album. Its so weird to actually believe i was preggy months ago and now i have a baby. Now me and Ana have Julianne Allie and Khrysta Ann. Can u believe it? Alfredo and John are the first 2 boyoz to have kids, and soon, theyre gonna be running after two little girls calling them daddy!!! hahaha... So who's next? Ate Judy is now expecting for her second baby... then who next? Sharmaine? Rowena? then Marissa (John? when?), kuya rey? ryan? lol.

The two proud fathers.

Julianne's booty

2006-03-27T12:57:00.000-06:00

It was 53 degrees farenheit outside... so me and julianne went out for a walk. We went to the post office, then to the boardwalk, and dunkin donuts... On the way home, ryt after we crossed the busy road (route 35) i noticed she lost one booty. and that was one of her favorite booties. It was the lavender one that ninang marissa gave her. I tried to look for it, but then i couldnt find it anymore and i didnt wanna go cross the street again..... so bye bye lavender booty with the little bunny ears..... :(

pic after the walk... no more booties... :(

twins

2006-03-24T17:42:00.000-06:00

Julianne

Johanne

The difference? she was a month old in the pic, and i was 2 months old in the pic.

Today, julianne had her first immunization shots (3 shots) and she nort feeling very well right now. She's been very cranky and she has a fever too.... I feel so sad when i look at her and she has a sad face.... :(

what else would i be talking about?

2006-03-20T11:58:00.000-06:00

julianne, julianne, julianne.... r u guys getting tired of her? or r u falling in love with her more? were both stay at home girls so, we pretty much dont have anything else to tell u.....

obsessed

2006-03-03T17:33:00.000-06:00

Aside from Grey's Anatomy and Twix candy bars, i am so obsessed with somebody ryt now. My baby Julianne. She's just the love of my life (and Alfredo of course). Even the adjustments didnt bother me that much. Everything i do and learn from being a mother, i enjoy it. And it doesnt matter even if takes a lot of time, even if my time to eat and sleep is very altered. Shes just so adorable. I admit i thought i wasnt ready when i found out i was pregnant, but having her right now, to hold, to cuddle, i coudlnt ask for more. Having her, and Alfredo, my life is soooo close to perfect. Im so happy.

etc....

2006-02-17T11:36:00.000-06:00

Im finally updating my blogspot!!!! It had been a very shocking and chaotic weekend for me, but dont wanna type down sad entries anymore. Anywayz, Im soooo happy that with all the prayers and the love of God, im home now, no more emergency ride to the hospital, and the most important thing is... Im ALIVE!!!!! hahaha....

Valentines day, for a record, its the first time that my hubby actually gave me flowers and a lot of chocolates ever since our married life.... but the most wonderful gift he brought me was baby julianne. Just so you understand all this, i was at the hospital during valentines day, and havent seen my baby for 4 days. So hubby made sure that the three of us were together at valentines day. It was the happiest time ive had ever since i was admitted to the hospital. They were with me the whole day and i was soooo happy.

This part will be the most important part of my entry.... To all of those who cared for me and prayed for me, thank you!!!! Prayers are always powerful. God is soooo good that he saved my life. I know he has more for me. Thank you guys, Linden church, and my family in texas, and in california, and mai in hawaii. Everytime i received text messages and calls from u, i felt better. I love you all sooo much.

I miss my blogspot

2006-02-10T15:13:00.000-06:00

julianne's 1st church attendance

2006-01-30T18:09:00.000-06:00

Everybody wanted to see her. She was only 4 days and a half old. Everybody at church were so warm and welcomed her with love. Did anybody notice us there??? jk jk, she was everybody's center of attention. Most of our special friends were there too... and the paparazzi, i mean, hahaha, people with cameras took pics... a lot of pics.... especially the 2 fairies. The aunties and uncles were soooo caring giving me a lot of advices and tip (that i dont even remember some of it). It was a beautiful day. Of sourse, daddy Alfredo was soooooo excited and uber happy, that he almost forgot me, lol.... but its soooo cute to see my hubby soooo overwhelmed with his lil baby. Ill post some pics from last saturday.... marissa has them in her website too.

Im back!!!

2006-01-26T14:50:00.000-06:00

It was one of the hardest thing i ever had to go through, but it was amazing!!! You guys, your prayers were very powerful.

Julianne Allie Llasos Lontoc. The most beautiful blessing i have ever seen. She was pretty big for a skinny 95 lbs girl like me, which made everybody worried while i was in labor, coz i might be ceasarean cut open if i couldnt push as hard... but a lot of things made me very determined, Alfredo was there the whole time giving me all the support that i needed, and i did it.

40 weeks gestation

2006-01-22T21:59:00.000-06:00

Just finished watching Grey's Anatomy. I love that show.... and in an hour, im 40 weeks gestation... meaning, its my due date in 1 hour. I dont know what to expect, ive been having a lot of pains since last night, but no real labor yet. I know im both scared and excited.... but i dont really know what's gonna happen.... it could be tonight... im sure its pretty soon.

Were pretty much ready. We redid the whole bedroom, the crib next to me, baby's dresser and all her clothes and stuff, the carseat in the car. Were just waiting for her. Doing all these prep is so much exciting than i thought it was gonna be.

Ouch, ouch, ouch, pain again.... its annoying.... is this real now? Oh well I'll let you all know. For now, I'm gonna go rest, or walk, i dunno.... and yup i need your prayers.....

Oh before i forget, the poll.... to those who voted before jan 23rd, im sorry, but the baby is still too comfortable in my belly.... hehe....

my weekend

2006-01-16T17:22:00.000-06:00

False Labor
Yup i thought i was gonna be rushed to the hospital last night.... but i didnt really panic, I remember everything the midwife told me. Alfredo was the one in panic. Haha. I though Juni was right, baby's bday after his. But im still here, sitting down and posting a blog. Anyway, false labor last night, it hurt pretty bad, scary, and im getting more scared thinking that it was just a false labor. how much more painful could the real one be? Yeah guys, you have to pray for me coz im having this fear, as normal as expectant mothers should feel, yeah its really giving me nightmares sometimes. But Im super excited too. Soon im gonna have company here in the house while everybody's at work.

Immigration Status
Its almost done! Thank God. The interview went well and I got a temporary stamp in my passport, and until we submit 3 more important documents they need, Im all good! Im so happy. Soon i could start working and help my hubby. Im so excited. Im finally gonna be a useful wife! hehehe.

Baby Prep Shopping
I had so much fun going around with my hubby shopping for baby. Doing it with him makes me more excited and makes me forget about the fear.... plus i get enough exercise walking. We went to babies r us, toys r us, almost got everything we need for now! Still need to buy a dresser for the baby, the crib matress, and the rest are not a priority for this time. So next stop.... should be IKEA. We're so excited that the car seat is already ready in the car. hahaha.

Birthday People
It was Jan reine's bday last friday. Happy bday to you reine!!!!

Baby Shower!!!

2006-01-09T15:28:00.000-06:00

It was one of the happiest day of my life. Like how many times in my whole life have i ever felt that i was special???? Yesterday i felt really really special. I couldnt help help myself but cry and cry. I was super happy.

I love my friends from church. They did it for us. How many people in this world have hearts like that? These people are amazing. Thats why they get too many blessings in their lives because their hearts are uber big, uber wide, and uber loving. I keep telling myself, these things that i receive, these are my "utang". Maybe not specific utang to those people who gave me specific gifts, but i keep telling myself, one day i have to pay, by also helping other people and sharing what i have to them. In that way all my debts will be paid.

The baby shower was fun! Super fun. And its alll because of the people who prepared it. First Filipino Seventh Day Adventist church people... I love them all. Special mention.... auntie Aida and uncle butch for opening their house for that super special event, auntie marife and auntie Lanlan who prepared the program and all the fun and the whole shower thing. Especially to my fairies, Ate rowena and marissa. They are my food, clothing, and shelter, together with auntie nitz who's also my nj mom, they are not just my food clothing and shelter, i would say they are my whole Maslow's hierarchy of needs. hehehe. They read my mind and just keep on making me happy. I love them. Oh and that includes john and mark. hehehe. ALso one of the most amazing person is my mother in law. She wasnt there yesterday but she has been very very amazing. She is very patient, understanding, and very very big-hearted. I love her so much. Also my family in texas, even though they are super far, they are always there, almost like they are just somewhere south of jersey. Although i still wished they could be here, but still im happy they are safe and doping well.

Akala nyo tapos na noh? hahaha, of course there's alfredo my hubby!!!! I love him so much. ahe given me a lot of strength through this pregnancy, his touch to my tummy everynight, talking to the baby, it makes me sooo happy.

With all these experiences, i could always say, thank you Lord for everything. I love you Lord.

Happy New Year!!!

2006-01-02T22:09:00.000-06:00

It was so much fun. We spent it at the Sudara's residence. Everybody had a "torotot" and a little plastic container with coins in it. We were super loud. Everybody was excited. Almost all orf our friends were there. It was definitely the best way to welcome the new year. Then after the countdown and all the chaos, we all hugged each other, very happy and excited for the coming year!!! Thanks to the Sudara's, they made the new year's eve very fun and memorable.

January 1st was our party day!!!! Its a late xmas party but it was fun too. Ate weng's place was super beautiful. She prepared the place and it was full of candles everywhere. We had a toast for the new year, and for our friendship.. it was awesome. Then we started the party, the exchanging of gifts, it was fun!!!! Joe gave me a massage sqush pillow and its super nice. I got John, but my gift didnt arrive, i hope he's not mad at me... hahaha, but im sure he'll love me again when he will finally get it. Its coming tomorrow, and im so pissed coz Ive been waiting for it for two weeks. But anyway, i gave him a gift too, hehe, jelly ace from the asian store!!! hehehe. And hubby got the most unique gift of all.... he got a box of motor oil from juni. It was fun.

I got other gifts too.... another sweater from my old navy fairy (but it was a gap sweater), and from sharmaine and tj, they gave me super super cute stuff for baby. A baby bath robe with comfy slippers (pink) and a super cute "pooh" jacket for next winter, and they also gave me a sexy nursing cami. Thanks u guys, even if my gift is super smalll ang kulang pa!!! hehe, U really luv me. 'tears' sniff, sniff.

So after all the loving and giving of gifts, we did different stuff too. Some played poker in the purple room, pictionary in the pink room, and xbox in the yellow room. It was fun, like i didnt wanna go home anymore. hehehe.

Thats about it for now. Im sad coz sharmaine's going home to hawaii tomorrow, but ill always pray for her and bhoyett too. Oh and its John's bday on wed!!!!! Happy bday john!!!!

Happy New Year all!!!!!!! Hello 2006!!!!

Super christmas!!!!

2005-12-25T21:43:00.000-06:00

It was a super christmas for me. Dec 24th, sabbath day, we were at church, everybody was super pretty and super handsome, and super nice. Christmas eve, we had a super wonderful at the cornago's house. There was super food like superman couldnt even finish. I was super full too. And the exchage gifts, well obviously as a charity girl (embarrassing) i didnt have gifts to give coz im a stay at home mommy with so salary, hehehe, it was super fun and happy to watch everybody giving gifts and getting gifts too. And i got gifts too!!!! yay!!! I got super comfy socks from aurelle, and there appeared my Gap fairy in the middle of the exchanging of gifts, and she gave me a super cute pink sweater and also super cute matching clothes for baby julianne!!!! It was super!!!!

After the axchanging of gifts, we watch a super funny movie 'deuce bigalow' whcih made us stay up 'til 3 am. We were super sleepy but i couldnt stay overnight without any axtra clothes and stuff, so we had to go home. Hubby was on the wheel and guess what??!!!! It was super foggy!!!! You couldnt see anything 10 ft from u. I thought i had cataract!!!! hahaha. But it was super pretty too. The fog made it feel more like christmas.

The moment we got up at around 9-ish in the morning, we went upstairs to give our gifts for hubby's parents, bro, and sis, and we got more gifts too!!!! I got a cute purse and some skin care stuff, and hubby gut a super nice gucci purse and some church shirts (yay onow he wont have to wear sweaters to church). And we also received towels and bathroom stuff. It wasa lot compared to super budgeted gifts to them, but it felt good coz it was from our hearts.

Tonight we were at the Magsipoc's house with some friends (bracket A peeps), more super good food!!! It was super fun, but we had to go home coz alf's sis from new york was visiting with the babies.

Thats why i call it a SUPER christmas coz everything thats happened to me are super. Praise jesus for the super blessings!!!!! Merry Christmas all!!!!

xmas '05

2005-12-22T22:11:00.000-06:00

Christmas is almost here... There are so many things are are happening in my life... nice things, and very frustrating ones.

Im so blessed to have all these people at church who are the very reason why im standing strong in all the problems i have. They dont really know it coz they see me smiling all the time. Their obvious support to me and alfredo is very heart warming and it makes me ignore sad things that are happening.

One of the most exciting and wonderful thing that is happening to me right now, is this precious baby in me. It is so amazing to feel like a complete woman, able to experience all of this pregancy thing. Im also very very happy that Alf and I have been able to work through most of our differences which almost separated us, and kept us together for a year now. God has been super good to us. And im also very lucky to have thse wonderful friends that i've only known for a year, yet these amazing people have been always there, supporting us andhelping us, even if i dont say a word. they just know.... these wonderful blessings that had come to me are my inspirations.

I have been trying my best to do everything that i could so that i would have enough benefits during my pregnancy. Today, i just found out that my medicaid will not be activated until my baby is born because of my pending SS number. It had been bothering me all day since bills had been coming in from my prenatal visits, and were still trying our best to pay them one at a time. Im still praying hard, although Im also thankful that Alf had already started working again for about 2 weeks now. I know these are just part of every person starting their own families. Problems like these are always there, and im glad that God is just right there ready to listen to all of these burdens that we have. But for the baby coming, she'll have all the benefits that she needs since she'll be born a US citizen and she wont have problems. Praise God for that.
This Christmas, again, im gonna be away from my family, my parents, my sis and bro. Fourth year in a row. But Im glad I'll be spending it with my new family, who is Alfredo.

Okey that was too serious..... now here are things that i want (not a need) for christmas. A four door car for baby's carseat, new make up stuff, digital camera, new pair of sneakers, a lot of food, house or shelter to start a family, and have enough stuff for my baby. I cant think of more things that i want for now. I'll just update later.

Im glad i have this blogspot so i could express my feelings. Merry xmas all!!!!

1st Wedding Anniversary!!!

2005-12-19T07:36:00.000-06:00

Happy Anniversary to us!!!! yay!!! Its our first wedding anniversary today.... it seems like yesterday when i first met my hubby at church... haha.... The first time i ever saw him, he looked so weird and dorky, and i thought sumthin was wrong with him, like i thought he was mute!!! haha coz he never said anything, and then he was with our friend lingyaw the whole time, following lingyaw's butt everywhere he goes. Well we didnt really talk coz i myself (new to USA) had a weakness that time too! I was a complete FOB. hahaha. Didnt talk too coz i might say the wrong english words or pronounce then wrong. so...oh well we both tried to avoid being near to each other. And thats the first time we met.

Happy Anniversary Be!!!! I love you so much!!! mwah!!!

Pic of what we looked like the first time we met at church. Lingyaw forced us to stand next to each other... but we didnt talk or say anything. trust me.

And here's a pic from our wedding.

wardrobe problems

2005-12-16T20:31:00.000-06:00

Its Saturday again tomorrow!!! Yay!!! My most favorite day of the week. Not only do i get to sing praises for God and listen to bible scriptures, its my only social day of the week (wink). Hehe. Im a stay at home preggy lady and i dont see people or the sun or the snow during the whole week (sniff)... oh except my hubby, and my mom in law who i barely see in the house coz I dont go upstairs that often. haha.

Yeah wardrobe problems again. It happens every Saturday. You see... if you try to count my maternity clothes, you can just count them with your fingers. haha. I dont need a lot of clothes though coz i only dress up for the Saturday.. oh and of course during prenatal check ups... Hmmm I read in a magazine sent to me this week, that if you have problems with clothes... coz nothing fits, you can do a lot of styles to usual clothes (not maternity clothes), like going to your husband's closet and making up styles with his shirts or tops, or get one of ur skirts, and use it as a tube top.. hey i guess ill do that tomorrow. hahaha.

Anywayz, Marissa is speaking tomorrow, she said she's nervous... haha... really? JK. You'll do great Marissa coz with all the prayers around you, God will be there with you. God Bless!!!!

And belated happy birthday to Joe!!!!

Happy Sabbath everyone!!!!
