My Photo... taken by Ivan

This is one of the photos taken by my son Ivan. He loves taking pictures. He takes random picture. Most of the photos he had taken are blurry because he moves away right after pressing the camera button. There's a lot of "just non-sense shots" too. But there would be times that he would try to take a shot of me or his dad. He even make his dad hold his "baby", then took a photo of his dad. "Baby" is the baby tiger stuffed puppet toy of Ivan. That's his beloved, most precious stuffed toy. He won't go anywhere without it.

Anyway, there would be more shots of me by Ivan.

Didn't mean to be maarte photo... By Ivan...

Yeps that's me. When my friends, family, relatives and even former classmates would see this picture of mine, they won't believe I had guts to pose like that. The pose isn't really daring but it shows how pa-cute I am.  And it's not me.  It's not just me.

My baby Ivan took the shot.  And he was suppose to take a shot of me, but instead aims somewhere else... the bed!  So I quickly lean down to the bed so I would be included on the photo.  And that's how the photo ends up.  Cute!!! I just like the shot!

Anyone who would comment that I am maarte, you are very much welcome, and thanks =)

Taken on April 26, 2011. Ivan is 2 years 10 months old.

Fun Shots with Ivan (2 years old)

Ivan and I are always having a great time together whenever he or I am holding the camera. I try to take Ivan's pictures. And Ivan would just do some pose, or line up his most loved stuffs and would instruct me to take his picture together with his stuff. He can't speak our language yet. Although he can say sit, up and down, barney, jollibee, flower, sun and a lot more words, we can't understand what he's actually saying when it comes to his sentences. It doesn't matter. We just try to feel what he want. On the picture taking, he would point the lined up toys and say "hap shiong" (Chinese Hokkien) which means "take picture".

He loves doing different pose, even poses like him kissing his baby tiger stuffed toy, or looking somewhere else.

I got more pictures of our photo session days.

Kcat's Gift To Me

I would like to say thank you to Kcat for sending a shirt from her online shop. It's a white shirt with her very own logo.

Every online sellers have their own story of why they are selling online. Kcat's reason is really a serious matter on why she's selling stuff on the internet. Her health is not in good condition. She has a tumor. There are other illness she's suffering that is caused by her tumor. She has numerous visits and operations in the hospital. And that means she has a flow of non-stop hospital bills. She seek help from people who are interested to help her by buying her items.

If you are kind of curious about Kcat, her condition, and her being able to create, maintain an online shop, and able to pay her eye-bulging hospital bills, visit her hEAR yeah online store.

Let's share our blessings from God, and thank him that we are in the best health we could ever be at this time.

I think my father-in-law now knows that...

Now that I'm a stay at home mom, I think my father-in-law now knows some information about me. Before I became a stay-at-home mom, here's what they know about me...

• I'm a good programmer.
• I can easily cry.
• I'm not used to household chores.
• I'm not good at running.
• I walk slowly.
• I hate wearing eyeglasses but I still wear one.
• I love to eat.
• I don't know how to cook.
• I don't eat seafood except fish.
• I'm not a good Chinese speaker.
• I hate cockroaches and spiders.
• I love noodles, hotdog, Jollibee, again I love to eat.
• I don't care about money, but money is very important. (Kind of hard to explain but they know and understand this.)
• I don't care if I got a bigger income than my husband.
• and maybe some more... hmmm... 

Now that I'm a stay-at-home mom, I think they now know that...

• I'm not that really a good at housekeeping.
• Even if I don't have a work, I can still produce money.
• I love watching cartoon shows.
• I love cute things.
• I love computer games.
• Earning money is more important than cleaning the house and washing the clothes.
• Hmmmm and maybe some more that's on their mind that I don't know.

I found those facts above amusing hahaha!

We're Moving Out!

Again, we're moving out again.  I'm not really willing to move out again.  We had just moved out about 1 year and 3 months ago.  But as my husband said, we're moving out for the better. 

That's no problem with me.  I just hate their idea of moving out.  They say that they want brother-in-law to live with us.  Luckily, brother-in-law doesn't want to.  He knows the pros and cons.  And the cons are really bad.

And we're moving out, and they don't have money!  And their expecting that I have some on my pocket!  Good thing I have some...

My only wish is that, when my husband got lucky and became rich, I hope that they wouldn't treat me as useless bitch.

I'm in an Internet Cafe

I'm here, I'm here!!! Not in the office, not at home, but in an Internet cafe inside a mall. I'm here for about hmmmm a few hours already!!! I wonder how much the rent would cost me.

I had too much. I don't go to the mall and watch a movie so I can get myself home and take care of my Ivan. During Sundays, I don't go out too! I know it's so hard to take care of a baby/ a toddler. But my son is a little different from other babies.

Enough with the rant about my son. It's good for another post. Well again, no time for window shopping, no break!!!

Since I'm pissed off, I hope my purse won't end up empty today. I just explode and then yes, I'm on the mall again after hmmmm after a year I think.

Today is spending day for me, for myself.

I have myself for today... I hate my life... Bad Trip!

I'm so pissed off, both from work and personal life.

At work: It seems like a never ending hectic task. I hate people telling me that the schedule I have prepared. I hate people telling me this and that and this and that, never ending promises, promises that leads to nothing. As an ex-officemate/ex-superior in a company where I had worked before, those promises are called "sound plans".

At life: Actually, my work had affected my life so much. My life on the other hand is like... I am the one sailing the boat, I know the path, but others seems to lead the way. A lot of things had happened and my husband still doesn't understand why I felt so bad.

I hate my life. I hate why I ended up married and tied up to a Chinese from China guy.

And on work, I wonder, do my employers take me for granted? I don't really think they are really ready to be an employer.

I felt bored...

I felt bored. House - Work - House - Work, recurring places...

House: eat, Ivan, blog, earn online money, check mail, Facebook, toothbrush, sleep, take a bath

Work: work work, sometimes do a little Facebook when bored like yesterday and today, work work excessive work.

I think I need a vacation leave for a week! I think I need to go to the mall, do a little shipping even for once every 6 months. I think I need to go and watch a movie.

It's my fault too. I'm too bad to myself. I push myself hard. I also have this thinking of I'll just waste money if I go out. It's because we really need money.

I hope this December or next year January, I would spend some time and treat myself some pampering.

Hayyyyyyyyys... Life...

Want Like Love Games Blog

If you guys still don't know, I have a new blog about the games I love to play. I created the blog on April 2009. It's so new!!!

I called my game blog "Want Like Love Games". Should I explain why? It's obvious! Berry loves to play computer games!!! Although I don't have time to play, it's the only thing that separates me from work and home task, besides going to the mall which I can't do when I got no meet-ups with customer buying my stuff online.

Check my blog at http://wantlikelovegames.blogspot.com/

I might not have update this blog for some time. But I intend to update it as soon as I have time.

You're the 1, Goldilocks

Have you ever heard of "Goldilocks Kid" before? Well, I'm one girl you can call a "Goldilocks Kid". Or maybe, you can call my family a "Goldilocks Family".

I got some stories to tell, memorable and special ones, in chronological order.

Classic I'm not sure if you guys had already tasted Brazo de Mercedes, but this one is a classic and so yummy. The white outer layer is soft and foamy, while the yellow filling inside is creamy. This roll has been a personal favorite of my mother when I am still in elementary. She finds this roll so delicious and yummy that she buys a roll almost every week. And we don't get tired of eating every slice of it. Talk about being a Brazo de Mercedes addict!

My Mother, My Sister and I You know the mother and daughter gap, and sister and sister gap? I got a problem before like that. My mother, my sister and I are not really close to each other. You know how teens behave. One day, my mother told us to go shopping together on Grand Central Caloocan. After checking on some clothes and pants, my mother decided to treat us for something different. We had our brunch at Goldilocks. My mother ordered three Lumpiang Sariwa and softdrinks. It's my first time to dine-in at Goldilocks. It's my first time to taste a lumpiang sariwa Filipino style. And I had a great time eating while discussing studies and grades and stuff with my mother and my sister. The bonding moment became a habit. And it started because we want to eat Goldilocks lumpiang sariwa in the mall.

My First Dinuguan Would you believe that my first taste of Dinuguan was when I was in my early college years? Again, college years! Yes it's true. It's December I would never forget. Someone had been so wise to buy and sell Goldilocks cakes and food at the market, as a short time business for the Christmas season. Her short time business is a success. And one of the "suki" buyers was my mother. She bought dinuguan for a difference. The verdict? We love the taste of it!

The Official Birthday Cake We don't usually celebrate our birthdays with cakes. But at that time, my sister and I are already working. So every year, when it's our sister's birthday, we buy a cake. We tried the Goldilocks Black Forest. We never tried other flavor of cake on her birthdays. It has been the Black Forest every year for her birthday. Weird as you may call it. Note, we only celebrate with a cake only when it's her birthday. We don't buy a cake for our other sister. It's like an instinct to buy a Black Forest on her birthday only. Part of the reason is because the fortunate sister has her birthday on about the middle of the year. Okay, we're weird.

My Ex-Boyfriend My ex-boyfriend bought an Ube Cake from Goldilocks to "court" my family. It's my first Ube Cake. And I think it's the same case with my parents and sisters. Every guy should know that one should court her girlfriend's family. Or should I call it befriend. Unfortunately, he left. But I do remember him sometimes when I buy an Ube Cake. Hmmmm.......

And then, for a long period of time, I hadn't had any Goldilocks cakes and meals to fill me in. It is when I met my husband. I became too busy with my work, and with all the task I should prepare with our wedding. I am trying to save money at that time. I even don't take snacks at the office, even if I can hear my stomach shouting. A good office mate did treat me for snacks. Thanks to her.

But then...

Desert For The Sick Berry I was pregnant for the first time. But I was admitted to the hospital after two weeks of blood dripping down there. On my 2nd day at the hospital, my sister bought a Window Cathedral for me, for a difference. Everybody was buying mamon! The mamons are for me and the guest. But the cathedral is just for me. Well about 1/4 of it. The other parts were eaten by my father who was also admitted on the same hospital. Some other fractions where eaten by my sisters. Thank God my father is safe. He was on the ICU for several days. And thank God my baby is saved.

Craving for Sago Gulaman At the start of my 4th month of pregnancy, I started to crave for a lot of foods. But the top 3 in no particular order of foods in my list are french fries, taco and Sago Gulaman. The french fries and taco can be of any brand, can also be home-made. But the sago gulaman, it should be of Goldilocks. "Maarte dila ko eh". I think I'm having Goldilocks sago gulaman two times a week, for about three to four months. I would go to the mall just to buy that sago gulaman. Now as I'm writing this blog, I'm craving for sago gulaman! But I promise and assure you, I'm not pregnant.

So, am I a certified Goldilocks Kid? All I can say is that... You're the 1 Goldilocks, because you made some part of my life become special and memorable.

Need to get thinner!!!

I'm so stubborn to push myself to diet a little. The thing is, I can't! I got a problem with eating a lot of rice, Jollibee, McDo. And If it's Jollibee and McDo, there's softdrinks.

Exercise? I got no time for exercise. Too stubborn to exercise? Yes! But this time, I really really really don't have time for exercise.

I might (should) push myself.

My Crazy Thought of The Day!!!

I got a lot of different weird thoughts. Am I a lunatic? I don't know. Is it possible that I got a little mental problem, or I just have this wide imagination and if's?

"Kaninang" afternoon, after drinking some of the instant coffee mix (thanks veeboy), I got this wild thought...

Would a girl ever make sex with someone on a clown costume?

Then I stopped programming and then thought, would I? I did try to imagine, then I said "no way"!!! The clown might turn into a mad man and kill me!!!

I really don't like a clown. But when I saw one on the street, I do wave and shout "Hi" excitedly. That's because that's the reality. Clowns makes people laugh. That's their job and that's what they're good at.

But as of the thought of a clown, I really don't like clowns. I guess I hate clown stuffed toys and I am afraid of clown mannequins. I hate mannequins in dark places too. As how I and other people are so much afraid of big spiders, that's how I am afraid of mannequins on dark places.

Just sharing my thoughts...

I'm sooooooo tireddddd

My daily task:

• Wake-up early in the morning, because baby Ivan wakes-up early.
• Take care of baby Ivan if he wakes-up before 8:00 am. He's usual wake-up time is 5:30am to 6:30am.
• Get ready to go to work, rushhhhhhh!!!
• At the office, working, sometimes surfing. And sometimes, I have naps unconciously because of sleepiness! I don't mean to. I really don't know that my eyes are closed. If my boss read this, it's okay. I know they know hahaha.
• Try to sell stuff.
• Go home, eat dinner, then take care of baby Ivan.
• blog? facebook games? If I still have some strength/mana like right now, then I would be online.

I can feel that I'm kind of weak these past few days. Ivan's new sleeping habit has also affected me.

Stop Spying On Me!

I think there is someone online who is kind of spying on me. He (yes it's a guy) has been checking out how am I doing lately, what am I doing, what are my plans on my _____. I'll just leave it blank. I don't want to make it so obvious to the one spying on me.

For me, it's okay to check out my posts, my pictures and videos. I got a Twitter and Plurk. I share my life to people. But spying is a different thing. This guy has been checking me out for some reason I don't know.

I might be over reacting, but that's what I felt. Just please, stop spying on me. Stop searching on every account I have on the Internet.

You are my friend. But you are scaring me.

I got bangs!!! My look...

I got bangs!!! I think I had already blogged about this. But I didn't attached the image of my new look. The cut only costs 50 Pesos!!! I really can't believe it's worth 50 Pesos. I repeat, 50 Pesos. The pedicure is 70 Pesos. On other parlors, hair cut costs more that manicure or pedicure.

And the hair cut includes hair wash with shampoo! And I got to watch the news. Guess what, the news is about the famous sex scandal of Dr. Hayden Kho.
