Oohh. What have I missed?
Honestly, I'm not so happy nor sad with the fact that I am now able to blog. One, I just tested my laptop for the nth time, and it worked. For the nth time in the future, it might actually die on me.... again. I was planning to buy a new adapter and battery for the laptop but since I don't have money yet, I'll make kalikot nalang muna and try to make it "workable".
Two, all feelings, emotions, rants, happiness and fulfillment I have felt these past few months are mixed altogether now that I don't know how to sort them out. Yes! I have been through a lot this year. I wanted to let them all out but right now, I really don't know where to start. However, there is something I firmly stand on and that's having no regrets. I may have felt bad quite a bit. There were even questions in and out of mind but I'm glad it happened. Blessing in disguise may be, we don't know. Only God knows.
Anyway, enough for now. I'm sleepy already. Goodnight! GoodMornight rather.

S&R Early Bird Sale September 2013
I knooooow! It's been ages since! But i just had to share for some of you who are interested.
S&R is currently having their Early Bird Sale, until today, Sept. 24. Then on September 25, 2013, it'll be their September Grand Sale or Member's Treat.
Earlier today, Sept. 23, I went with my ninang to S&R. Since we are on a budget, I needed to list down all things i needed to buy. I also checked what items are already on sale.
Look what I found:
Colgate Regular 145ml 4pcs/pack = P320.00
and also i found this:
Suave kids 2-in-1 Shampoo Funpack 4pcs/pack = P400.00
Sulit diba? I didn't plan really to buy anything, just to list down all items I was planning to buy and check what items are on sale. However, from what I experienced last march, madaling maubos yung Colgate 4pcs/pack. So I had to hoard. Hahaha. Will buy again on September 25 if they are still available.
I'm so excited. I don't really know why, but grocery shopping has been my stress reliever kaya enjoy na enjoy ko. hahahaha!
See you there! Lapit na mag sale talaga! Be there by 6am or earlier! Hehehe.
PS. I'm still using the ipad to blog. Kaya hirap padin ako. This post I had to do for others to know din, Hehehe. I miss blogging though..

Mouth Sore
Hi friends! Sorry for the lack of posts nowadays. You know, it's really difficult to blog using an iPad. Lappy is not working yet.. Hindi ko pa napapagawa talaga..
Anyway, to mommies out there, or to anyone who has experienced mouth sore, do you know how to cure it? Well, mouth sore is also known as singaw... Unfortunately, Johann has singaw. He has been cranky for the past 2 days already.. I tried putting Dequadin on his tongue. Nandun kasi yung singaw nya. Sobra siyang nasasaktan.. iyak ng iyak.. He has not been drinking milk din kasi siguro talagang masakit. I've been up all night for the past 2 days 'coz once in a while, he would wake up and cry. Again, siguro kasi masakit.
I don't know what to do. Nakakaawa din kasi ang baby ko.
Will go to the doctor pa tomorrow, Monday. If you know how to cure his mouth sore or atleast lessen his pain, just comment ha? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

A Greener Selection
In my previous post, regarding Mango Papaya Vinaigrette, well, it was perfect for salad! I tried it kaninang dinner. At first, if you'll taste the vinaigrette lang, para siyang tangy or maasim. But if you put it on salad, masarap siya.
I bought Dole Greener Selection salad. I want to prepare the salad personally sana. I mean, prepare it from scratch. However, I want to try first the two dressings we have here at home. One is the Caesar Salad Dressing which I bought at S&R. The other one is the dressing/vinaigrette I made kanina.
Since I want a taste of something different aside sa greens lang, I added few bits of maling. Just enough to satisfy my taste buds. Also, for additional flavor, I added 2 Belcube Creamy Ham Flavored Cheese by Laughing Cow. It was soooo good!
The Belcube Creamy Cheese is actually a spread. 2 cubes of cheese is not bad naman siguro diba? I'm starting this diet palang naman. Para di mabigla.. If my tummy is sanay na with these greens, tsaka ko na siguro itotodo.
I will have no rice in my diet. Promise. No cheat day yet, because I want to lose weight agad. Full effort ito! :) Next time na ako magcheacheat day kapag payat nako! hihi.
Anyway, you should try it. Salad with bits of maling and laughing cow belcube cheese. It's not really light nor heavy meal. Just right. Atleast, it's a start. :D

Mango Papaya Vinaigrette
Since I am planning to go on a diet, I made a salad dressing. After eating at Mary Grace Cafe kasi, I said to myself, Im'ma try the dressing they have for their Prawn Salad. It is the Mango-Papaya Dressing. It's good huh!
Here's the ingredients:
1 Large Ripe Papaya
1 Large Ripe Mango
1/4 cup of Olive Oil
1/3 cup of Apple Cider Vinegar
1 Tbsp Honey
Salt and Pepper.
1. Peel and put Papaya and Mango meat in a blender.
2. Add the remaining ingredients except salt and pepper.
3. Blend well.
4. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
It's kinda tangy because of the Apple Cider Vinegar, but it's okay, it'll blend well in the salad.
Will share to you later my dinner. Will try it with salad.

Truth About My Weight
Hello! Today's Sunday. My mag-ama went out for a basketball game. John kasi would always play basketball kapag Sunday, sinama nya si Johann. Perfect time for me to blog! :)
I just want to share to you (if I have readers. lol.) some things about me and my weight.
When I was dalaga, I was thinner. Chubby, but thinner, compared now. My height is 5"1" and my weight before is from 115lbs to 118lbs. It even went down to 108lbs to 110lbs but average would be the first weight I mentioned. I fit a size Medium in most of the clothes. Large kapag masikip sa arms. Sa arms kasi talaga nagkakatalo. I have brusko arms so if Medium ang damit pero masikip sa arms, I change it to Large. So yeah, Medium to Large ako. Get the picture?
I really looked young, pretty and blooming then. Kasi comfortable ako sa everything. Clothes, face, tummy not showing etc. Now kasi, I feel bloated, fat, parang my clothes kept on shrinking on me na hindi na ako kasya sakanila. Haha!
When I got pregnant, I was not that fat. I gained weight but not too much, so I figured, mabilis babalik ang katawan ko. Johann was not that big din when I had him. First few months, I was a typical na nanganak. Still the same weight when I was pregnant. But as months passed, I gained and gained.
I am a stay-at-home mommy. Johann's malikot but I make it bawi sa food intake lagi. When I am depressed or stressed, I eat. When I am pagod, I eat. When I am happy, I still eat! Haha. No exercise.
Honestly, that is may be one reason why I seldom go out. I am so conscious of how I look and how I weigh. I get ill-tempered that I can't wear any nice clothes anymore 'coz hindi na kasya yung mga luma kong damit. I also seldom buy clothes that's why I have only a number to choose from. I am not kasi a type of person na would wear sexy clothes or fitted clothes kahit mataba. May iba kasi, mukhang suman sa damit if they wear uber fitted eh. No offense meant to those who wear clothes like that. It's just that it is not me. I am not comfortable with that eh.
I enrolled back to boxing and even gym. (Dati pala, kaya ako payat kasi, nagboboxing ako sa Elorde and nagggym ako sa Fitness First. Sarado na kasi Elorde sa SM Southmall kaya nakakatamad na sa malayo magboxing.) Anyway, I enrolled in a boxing gym located in Madrigal Business Park, Alabang. 4 months ako naka-enroll. Come 4th month, medyo tinatamad nako. Lost few pounds. But ever since I stopped, I gained again. I have been telling John, if I really want to lose weight, dapat consistent ang gym ko. Since I am not enrolled anymore, pano ako magwowork out? Sis in law ko kasi, payat na. Pero it took her more than 2 years din, bago na maintain yung figure. Kasi, hindi natatanggal gym nya. There would be times na she's lazy to go but atleast, anytime, she can come back. That's what I want. Pero siyempre, we're not that mayaman naman. So dapat, once enrolled, sulitin. Which I didn't.
Why am I gaining? It is because I am a rice person. Take note. I eat lunch and dinner. Twice lang ha? Pero since I eat rice, I keep on gaining weight. Usually pa kasi, 1 and half cup rice ako. Haha! If masarap ulam, hanggang 2 cups. lol. In between meals, I seldom eat. Pero if eat usually fatty food. Ice cream, chocolate, sweets, or junk food. Diba? Sino ba naman di tataba non?
However, there are people who I really idolize for their dedication in losing weight. They are Mommy Fleur, Mommy Cheryll, Tina de Guzman and Joanne Avila (friends of mine) and Marie Flores (also a friend). I have been observing them for almost 2-3 months now. They are losing weight. Kailangan talaga ang mind set. San ba nakakabili non? Pa-order nga ako.
I tend to be tamad talaga kasi at times. Pero as I said, I need my mind to be set in order for me to get back into my dalaga weight. Exercise, eat well and control.
Ate Che of Out of The Box Ideas, told me, I should reveal, make kwento and blog it so the whole world (lol. daming readers?) will witness this. Para mag-pursige ako magpapayat. I will start again tomorrow. Jogging, diet and control. No rice, no sweets etc.
Will update what and how I am doing about this project me, soon! :)
Current weight: 145lbs. Kapag busog, 148lbs. Haha! :D

Security Pillow
I have a question to those who have kids. Do you have a kid or kids that has/have a security anything? Like, security blanket, pillow, stuffed toy, etc. I do!
When I was in college, there was a bazaar in school where a lot of things are being sold. I was sooo into Monokuro Boo at that time, that when I saw a beaded pillow of MB, I grabbed it and bought it. Utang pa nga ata yun noon sa friend ko. Haha! Anyway, when was that? 6-7 years ago?? or more pa?? Haha.
When I became a mom, I used that beaded pillow as blanket to Johann.
Now, he really can't sleep without that pillow. He gets cranky kapag antok na antok na siya then hindi pa niya hawak yung pillow. Everytime we have long travels, need namin kasama si pillow. In short, he can't let it go.
My only fear lang is, baka masira si pillow, then always cranky na si baby.. What will I do?? Huhu.
Alam nyo ba?! Niretoke na yung pillow! It's soooo manipis na kasi, it can tear apart anytime na noon, since nandito si ninang ko before and magaling siya manahi, inayos nya yung pillow so medyo makapal na yung tela nya. But, what if, ma-tear apart bigla?? Haay.
Oh well.. Look at Johann. What he does is, he rubs the snout of the pillow with his fingers.. Orrrr, he rubs the snout with his snout este nose or lips. Haha.. Addict lang!

He is 4 months in this photo. See? perfect for kumot si Monokuro Boo. |

Fell asleep while rubbing the snout. Hihi. :) |
I am just wondering, on what age kaya ma-lelet go ni Johann yang pillow na yan? Hmmm..
New Haircut! :)
Summer is here! I can feel it na sobra! Ang inet palagi! Malamang niyan mataas na naman ang kuryente this month and next month. Oh well.
If you have read some of my previous posts regarding my little boy, Johann, makikita nyo sa ibang pics nya na mahaba hair nya. Well, it is his papa's choice. John wants Johann to have slight long hair 'coz he looked cute.
Playing with the mattress with messy hair! |
Haha! Mukhang yagit! |
However, since you can really feel the heat of summer, we decided to have his hair cut short. Plan sana is mohawk cut. Well, it is mohawk style naman, bagsak lang talaga hair ni Johann plus, I don't want to put gel on his hair yet, kaya hindi nakapatayo yung middle portion ng hair/head nya. Masyado pa siyang baby for gel.
Here's how he looks now:
Will have better photos next time. Hindi masyado halata or kita sa pic. Hehe. Parang hindi halatang mohawk ano? It's okay, hmmm.. he looked, pasaway and he is really pasaway, pero it's summer, gusto ko mapreskuhan si Johann. Hehe. Look at that smile! Smile na may masamang balak. Haha. Cute!
Anyhoooo.. How are you handling the heat of summer? Swimming na tayoooo! :)

Bumper to Bumper Traffic!
I just finished cleaning the room. Opo, gabi na, nagligpit pako. I want to show you our everyday scenario at home.
Gigising ako, maglilinis and lampaso ng kaunti. Will arrange Johann's toys. When he wakes up, maya maya eto na po ang kalalabasan ng mga niligpit ko....
Pero these past few days, napapansin ko, he's into cars. It's so aliw lang 'coz he doesn't just play with them na tipong "broom! broom!" or paaandarin lang. Most of the time he would line them up just like the photo below.
Take note friends, he knows where the front side is. If you'd look closely, makikita nyo na nakapila yung cars na parang traffic lang. Plus all facing one direction. Walang naiiba or naka-wrong way jan. Hehe! If I would remove one car nga jan and then face the wrong way, he would react na parang "no mommy, that's not the right way, okay?"

Halo-halong toys of Johann. Wala bang ube at leche flan jan?? |

bam-bam daw. meaning, bangga! |
before sleeping.. |
bumper to bumper traffic!!! |
Last week, I bought him 2 new wheels. This is his recent favorite. Truck daw. |
Yesterday, nagulat ako, haha! I saw him arranging his cars this way naman. Not bam bam na daw. Meaning, hindi daw sila bangga.
BTW, we seldom buy him toys na. Andami na kasi sa bahay talaga. I got aliw lang last week since he has been into toy cars and lining them up kaya I thought of buying him 2 new. But.. but.. I don't buy him expensive ones. As much as possible, medyo magandang quality pero not so mahalia. You can not really see lang sa photo but some of his cars there, wala nang mga gulong.. Hehe. Pag mahal kasi masyado then masisira na katulad ng ganon, nakakapanghinayang. Atleast if medyo cheap, ok lang. Daba? We usually invest on nice clothes and foot wear. Kasi tumatagal talaga. Pwede pa sa next baby. Unlike toys, usually madali nasisira. :)

S&R Member's Treat (First Timer)
I had a very tiring day. First, I slept late last night. Hindi na nga night eh, Wednesday na ng madaling araw, around 4am. Woke up 7-ish am, took a bath and fixed myself. I waited for my sis-in-law and mother-in-law to pick me up. And they did, around 8:50 am.
We arrived at S&R Alabang around 9:10 am. Parking was full already.
MIL and I decided to fall in line na while waiting for SIL to park the car. As expected, we were late! Haha. S&R opened 8am. By that time, madami nadin talagang tao. Mom called me before I left home, she mentioned that people are already piling up when she passed by S&R.
Mom: Kanina diba umalis ako mga 5:30am, andami nang tao dun.
Me: Oh? gaano kadami?
Mom: Madami talaga! Grabe pala talaga mag-sale dun ano? Grabe talaga!
Me: Hehe, kaya nga eh. Alis dapat kami before 8am kaso wala pa sina ate.
Yes! Mom was amazed on those people who fell in line as early as 5am.
Did you see the photo above? Grabe no! I am amazed myself. Madami talagang nagti-tiyaga pumila for S&R's Member's Treat Sale. Sorry, I really just can't help myself to be OA sa pagpopost once in a while ng sale sa S&R and items I bought since yesterday, it is my first time kasi talaga to go to their sale. It was a tiring but fun experience!
We arrived there 9am diba? We actually entered S&R around 12nn na. We fell and waited in line for 3 hours.
MIL: Ang ti-tiyaga ng mga taong napila dito noh?
Me: Oo naman ma, sale yan eh! Shopping din yan!
I was surprised though, that there were no stampede inside! Haha. Well, I was really expecting that the inside will be packed with people. Balyahan sa sikip ang ineexpect ko. Hindi pala. I realized na, there are a lot of people lang talaga outside, waiting for their turn to enter the premises plus waiting for push carts din. Per member kasi is only allowed to have 2 push carts. Since ayaw din magkagulo gulo siguro sa loob, other people should wait for push carts to be available. Kaya pinapipila ng maayos sa labas.
However, just few minutes before we have actually entered, they (S&R Management) announced something. They said, they will allow people, who don't really need push carts, to enter ahead of those who are in line na need ang push carts. However, they still need to follow their line. They can over take those peeps na need ang push carts, pero in line padin. Well, yung iba, naguluhan sa announcement na ito. They thought, pwede sila umalis sa line nila then pumila dun sa isa pang entrance at dun pumila.
Other customers were losing their patience already. They were telling the management that it is unfair to let those people go ahead. Ikaw daw ba, pipila ka ng mahaba, tapos sale, tapos ang bibilhin mo hand full of items only? They were sure na hindi. Even the foreigner behind us told the management din na, if they let those people go ahead of others, they will just take advantage and use other things as baskets, or try to check for push carts that are empty.
I was not really surprised. Kahit ako, naisip ko yun. Pwede naman gumawa ng paraan yung mga taong nauna, na hindi daw need ng push cart, na kuha nalang ng basket of some sort then yun ang gawin lalagyan ng mga bibilhin nila. And yes, totoo nga. We saw those people na nauna sa amin pulling a rubber bayong shaped trolly. They placed the things they're going to buy inside that rubber bayong shaped trolly na binebenta din ng S&R. Pero in the end, pag dating sa counter, hindi pala nila babayaran yung trolly. They just took advantage of the situation para makalamang sa mga nagpagod pumila. S&R Management was wrong to make that awful announcement.
Anyway... Going back to light kwento. I took a pic of S&R inside.
Hmm... we finished shopping around 3pm. Sulit naman. I didn't get to take photos of what my in-laws bought. Pero madami din silang binili na B1T1 and naka-sale.
Eh diba, I said nga on my previous post, I already went shopping yesterday, so konti nalang binili ko kanina. Too bad, some of the items I bought yesterday were on sale na kanina. Tipong P100 - P200 off. Sayang din yun. Oh wellz...
I decided to put the items in storage already. So the storage cabinet now looks like this. Hindi pa nagkasya yung iba. Nakatiwang-wang pa yung iba sa labas.
We arrived at S&R Alabang around 9:10 am. Parking was full already.

Mom: Kanina diba umalis ako mga 5:30am, andami nang tao dun.
Me: Oh? gaano kadami?
Mom: Madami talaga! Grabe pala talaga mag-sale dun ano? Grabe talaga!
Me: Hehe, kaya nga eh. Alis dapat kami before 8am kaso wala pa sina ate.
Yes! Mom was amazed on those people who fell in line as early as 5am.
We were at the end of the line. |

1. During Early Bird Sale, buy only items that are ON SALE or B1T1. (You can always go back on the sale day itself to check if the items you want to buy have marked down. In my case diba, I bought few items nung Early Bird Sale palang na hindi pa on sale talaga, it turned out, mag-mamark down cya sa mismong sale. Ayon, nanghinayang ako ng kaunti kanina.)
2. Wake up early on the first day sale. It is to avoid the scorching heat of the sun and the heat of siksikan. Well. Not really siksikan pero close to that nadin. The early bird gets the best new items. If you're late kasi, it's either, lamog na yung bagay or bugbog na kakadampot, or ubos na.
3. As much as possible, bring water, fan, gadgets like phone or ipad or the like, chi-cha or food and folding chair. Pag pumila ka, uuhawin ka kakatayo. Maiinitan ka kasi the longer you're in line, the hotter it will be kasi tumatanghali or humahapon na. You'd probably get bored so gadgets will help you. Antagal mo sa pila, gugutumin ka at mapapagod ka din talaga kakatayo kaya mas okay if you bring folding chairs.
4. Don't bring with you mainiping company. Don't bring your kids, as much as possible. They'll get bored, tired and cranky. Believe me! We waited in line outside for 3 hours. Elderly and kids won't stay that long. Kawawa din kasi.
5. Bring a car! If it is sale and you're planning to buy a lot, please bring your car, your neighbor's jeep, or any transpo. Surely you'll need it. Not necessary though, pero most of the people I saw kanina, would need a transpo and not really commute.
6. As much as possible, if you're a hoarder of home products, food, etc., buy stuff that would last until September-ish kasi by Sept, may sale ulit sa S&R. Hehe. :)
I am really tired. Didn't get to sleep kaninang hapon paguwi kasi naglilikot si Johann. Plus now I am blogging. I just can't contain it that I needed to blog it agad-agad. Hehe.
BTW, S&R is still on Sale up to March 17. Hurry now! There are a lot of items na ang bilis naubos! Hoarding na!! Hehe. :)
Nytie!
