Oh, WHEN WILL IT END?!?!?!

There are good days and there are bad days...

Sometimes i think that this bout with "paglilihi" is going to be during my whole pregnancy. But then there are days when I don't even feel like wretching. Which is like once or twice a week only :(

Today is NOT a good day... the minute i got up from bed i started to feel sick. How can that be?!?! I haven't even done or eaten ANYTHING yet!!! Aside from that, if i DON'T eat i feel sick... if i DO eat, i feel sick! ARGH!!!!!!!!! tangina ayoko na talaga!!

ok. i'm done venting.

Anyway, it's 730am... i'm here at the office.. not supposed to be here til 9am...

I need a life... or maybe my own car.

I've learned..

Thanks for this, Minette :)

I’ve learned – that you cannot make someone love you.
All you can do is be someone who can be loved. The rest is up to them.


I’ve learned – that no matter how much I care,
Some people just don’t care back.


I’ve learned – that it takes years to build up trust,
And only seconds to destroy it.


I’ve learned – that it’s not what you have in your life
But who you have in your life that counts.


I’ve learned – that you can get by on charm for about 15 minutes.
After that, you’d better know something.


I’ve learned – that you shouldn’t compare yourself
To the best others can do.


I’ve learned – that you can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.


I’ve learned – that it’s taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.


I’ve learned – that you should always leave loved ones with loving words.
It may be the last time you see them.


I’ve learned – that you can keep going
Long after you thin you can’t.


I’ve learned – that we are responsible for what we do,
No matter how we feel.


I’ve learned – that either you control your attitude
Or it controls you.


I’ve learned – that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first,
The passion fades and there had better be something else to takes its place.


I’ve learned – that heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences.


I’ve learned – that money is a lousy way of keeping score

I’ve learned – that my best friend and I can do anything
Or nothing and have the best time.


I’ve learned – that sometimes the people you expect to kick you when you’re done
Will be the ones to help you get back up.


I’ve learned – that sometimes when I’m angry I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn’t give me the right to be cruel.


I’ve learned – that true friendship continues to grow,
Even over the longest distance. Same goes for love.


I’ve learned – that just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them
Doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all they have.


I’ve learned – that maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you’ve had
And what you’ve learned from them
and less to do with how many birthdays you’ve celebrated.


I’ve learned – that you should never tell a child that their dreams are unlikely or outlandish.
Few things are more humiliating, and what a tragedy it would be if they believed it.


I’ve leaned – that your family won’t always be there for you.
It may seem funny, but people you aren’t related to can take care of you,
Love you and teach you to trust people again. Families aren’t biological.


I’ve learned – that no matter how good a friend is,
They’re going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.


I’ve learned – that it isn’t always enough to be forgiven by others.
Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself.


I’ve learned – that no matter how bad your heart is broken
The world doesn’t stop for your grief.


I’ve learned – that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
But we are responsible for who we become.


I’ve learned – that just because two people argue,
It doesn’t mean they don’t love each other.
And just because they don’t argue, it doesn’t mean they do.


I’ve learned – that we don’t have to change friends
If we understand that friends change.


I’ve learned – that you shouldn’t be so eager to find out a secret.
It could change your life forever.


I’ve learned – that no matter how you try to protect your children
They will eventually get hurt and you will hurt in the process.


I’ve learned – that your life can be changed in a matter of hours
By people who don’t even know you.


I’ve learned that even when you think you have no more to give,
When a friend cries out to you, you will find the strength to help.


I’ve learned – that credentials on the wall
Do not make you a decent human being.


I’ve learned – that the people you care most about in life
Are taken from you too soon.


I’ve learned - that it’s hard to determine where to draw the line
Between being nice and not hurting people’s feelings
And standing up for what you believe.

Holiday season recap

Well, it's over! Back to normal life again....

I think this is one of the best holidays i've had in a long time. I got to spend Christmas Eve with my family... and New Year's Eve with my new one.

Christmas Eve
My cousin and her boyfriend came home from the states so we had a small reunion of sorts at my aunt's house in the South. It was fun... lots of gifts and with lots of FISH to eat! hahahahaha!

My cousin's boyfriend Ralph knew how to speak Spanish so my husband was...err...forced to speak to him. Jerome's not very confident when it comes to speaking the first language he learned as a child. Oh well... i think he did very well :) The highlight of my night was when I learned that my aunt had a magic sing! Well, let's just say it was a solo mini-concert. :)

New Year's Eve
We arrived at abuelita's house at around 6pm. We had spaghetti on hand which I didn't know was to be the main course for dinner. Lala's cooking was to be after midnight. Gabby was the star of the show! My bibo baby showed her talents almost the whole night long to the delight of all her lolo's and lola's.

Thanks to everyone who greeted me on my birthday and new year's eve! :)

next year...

There will be 2 more additions to the family... hmm... i guess playground na kelangan!
