First GP Appointment
Because we stayed in the hospital for less than 3days and the fact that Bubba's fontanelle had still a wide gap, we were advised to a see a General Practicioner within 5-10 days from discharge. And we did last July 23. The GP had a thorough check and gave him a clean bill of health. And a very good news that Bubba had gained his birth weight just in one week after discharge from the hospital. ...

Hockey's Future
I love watching sports that rules are simple and easy to understand, maybe it be live or in telly. Yet there are sports that I want to know the rules but are not played here in OZ or in the Philippines like hockey, polo, etc so I don't get the chance to acquiant myself with the bits and pieces of these...

First Day Out
Of Bubba, that is.. at 6 days old.Last Friday (July 20), Bubba had his first excursion. MCJ was going to mail Bubba's birth registration and go up to Medicare to have Bubba's name added to his card. Since the Medicare's office is in the mall, we decided to tag along. And while we were there, we changed MCJ's private health insurance cover to include our cherub.Bubba was asleep when we left the house...

Talking of Cameras
The camera that was stolen from our car at the beginning of this year was a canon brand. Aside from wanting an SLR cam MCJ likes canon. But what I recently bought was not made of the same brand. Well, I don't know what got into me to chose what I bought but Canon Powershot cameras were also available in the store. Looking back, I might have been considering the price, the megapixels, the size...
What's in a Name?
We've been brainstorming for his name even while I was preggy, may he be a boy or a girl.Now that he's out, it took us almost a week to decide the spelling of Bubba's third name hence the registration of his birth was a bit late. We've finalised his name but we haven't decided what would be his nickname. MCJ suggested that we stick to what is familiar, that is Bubba. That's what we call him while...
Get Slim
I'm not really a telly person. I usually check the program guide and see if there's something interesting to watch before turning the TV on. But even that, I never fail to notice that the Aussies ae big on any diet/slimming ads - from fitness gyms, diet pills, food supplement, etc. It's not surprising though because Australia has a high obesity ra...

Birthing Story
Friday, I was two days overdue, too anxious to see Bubba yet MCJ kept on thinking the spooky Friday the 13th. I woke-up late as usual but for a change took a long walk up to the main street which is approximately a km to and fro. We had lunch and I still continue blogging.Come 2pm, I felt mild contractions which lasted for less than a minute and were more than 10 minutes apart. I don't really know...
Fitness Dating
Online dating sites had been massively creating a space in the wild wild web. You can't open a webpage withouth seeing a urls, links or hollograms of these sites. Ahhh, you can even receive unsolicited mails from some of them. And what's funny about them is each site is unique from the others. Sure,...

Hello World!
I'm Jens! I joined you in this world last July 14 around 0056. Daddy was too anxious that I will be born on Friday the 13th so, Mummy and I collaborated for me to come out a little bit late. :)I weighed 6.8lbs and 49.5cm long.. with Mummy's build I was way too big for her so expect to see her walking...
Friends and R&R
I haven't been to the land of milk and honey yet. It's not in the top priority of my wish list of places to visit but I have friends who live there that I want to see so it might just sprout as the number one in the future. Hopefully, hopefully! I reckon, I couldn't tour the whole 50 states (I might not be able to afford that) but first I want to visit her in El Paso, another one in Sanfo, one in...
News Flash!
Bubba had joined us in this world last July 14 (MCJ was too anxious that he would come out Friday the 13th - so I delayed pushing... lol).Will post stories with photos soon (haven't worked-out how to upload pix ye...
Getting Organized
Sometimes I call myself an obsessive-compulsive when it comes to sorting out or organizing things... Just sometimes. I want everything to have it's proper place so I know where to look for them incase I need them but often times.. that doesn't happen because I am not just the one using the stuff around...

Pro-blogging is a Snap
Remember this thingie that we bought for Bubba from my pro-blogging earnings? Well, we had another buy yesterday from the blog advertising moolah! Isn't that great? It's been almost half a year that we suffer the lack of digital camera - thanks to the very resourceful bloke who stole my loved cam....

Do I Look Like....
a Vietnamese?Went today to the hospital for an early morning appointment. I was 2nd in line. Few seconds later, it was my turn. Before I can hand out my appointment card, the midwife at the counter asked me, "you speak vietnamese, do you?". My instant answer was, "I'm not a vietnamese so I dont." and smile. At the back of my mind, I was contemplating what a vietnamese looks like. :) I deduce,...
Home Furniture
Next to food and personal shopping, I also love doing home furniture shopping.. maybe it be in the shops around the area or online. I really can't fill my eyes with the intricate, sophisticated and classic design of the furnitures. I couldn't stop telling myself "this will look good and fit our blah...

Ang Dilis, Bow
I've visited and passed through the Asian Dry Food section of this recently opened supermarket in our area but I haven't seen any food that I can relate except for some that I can somewhat identify myself as Filipino food but the brand is not really Pinoy like, prawn crackers, stir-fry noodles, rice wraps for dimsim, etc. And I haven't seen their frozen asian food section yet, so we decided to scour...
Gothic Dating
Are you an extra-ordinaire who loves grotesque way of meeting somebody online? Well, let's say just online because, I can't imagine how would it be when gothics meet in person for the first time without any prelude introduction or getting-to-know-each-other phase. If you are, gothscene.com is for...

Roger Federrer for the 5th time bagged the Wimbledon's men's single championship title matching Bjorn Borg's record. The match was actually graced by the latter to which Roger was thankful and saying that it made the match memorable. Rafael Nadal is a tough opponent and it wasnt easy for Roger to beat...
Online Dating Sites
Online dating has been a trend for years now. Meeting a friend or a future partner doesn't always have to be through the conventional way of dating - going out, watching movies, dining, etc, though if you meet the person face to face, you've got to jump on those convention anyway. Online dating doesn't...

Capsule Fitted
We woke-up real early this morning for our 8:30 appointment on capsule fitting though I was still up around 4 this morning watching the men's single tennis finals in Wimbledon (deserved a separate post). More so this time of the year, waking up early is a tough exercise. It's freezing cold. But I don't wanna be late. So off we went. I think, we were on time as we were the first customer to arrived....
Gutom
Nakatulog ako ng sobra sa 3 oras ngayong hapon. Ayaw ko pa sanang bumangon kaya lang ang aking malaking alaga sa tyan ay nangangalikot na ng kung anong parte ng kalamnan ko. Gutom na daw sya. O di sige, tayo. Uhaw na uhaw din pala ako. Nanunuyot na ang lalamunan ko.Habang palabas ng kwarto, nag-iisip ako kung ano ang pwede kung makain na hindi na kailangan pang lutuin o hindi matagal ihanda....

2007 Wimbledon Championships
Remember my female pick for the 2007 Wimbledon Championships? Well, she lost in the semi-finals to Marion Bartoli. Hummmm. I haven't seen the game though so I wasn't that affected, should I had... I would truly be devastated.But my male pick is on to the finals tonight, playing against Rafael Nadal....
In A Holiday Mood but...
The monthly newsletter of the vacation club where we're a member just came in this week in the mail. Everyone was raving how great their vacation was and I am green with envy. :) If only we can....The newsletter made me a bit frustrated though. It features pristine and wonderful vacation spots... and...
Working with Softwares
I was involved in an Enterprise Resource Planning in my last job and I was incharged of some financial modules. I love that job. If not for our plan to start a family, I reckon that would be the kind of job that I would stick to until I get tired or maybe retire. How I miss it. I am a little fortunate though not working, the family business is using a different software and I can tinker a bit on...
At 39 Weeks
This week of pregnancy, your baby may be close to 21½ inches and weighs over 7 pounds. All of your baby’s organs are developed, in place and ready to function on their own. The last organ to mature (the lungs) should have reached maturity at this point. Your baby's reflexes are coordinated so he or she can blink, grip firmly, and respond to sounds, light and touch. Your baby’s umbilical cord is about...

Safe Drinking Water
My favorite drink is chilled water. I always see to it that I don't ran out of bottled water in the fridge or sometimes in the freezer when I am saving it for night time. Bottled water never leave my side of bed at night as I always feel thirsty, especially now that I am preggy.Here, we don't buy purified drinking water. We just use water from the tap for drinking and cooking- well, it is safe anyway....

Tagged by Arlene
I was tagged by Arlene and Mich. Can I just change the word "hate" to "not like"? I just don't like the word and as much as possible I don't want to use it.These are the list of things/stuff that I don't like:1. Food. None that I know of aside from stale food.2. Fruit. None that I can remember. 3. Veggies. Capsicum - I don't like the smell. 4. Celebrities / People. Shamelessly corrupt politicians...
Nesting
I've been running around for almost two weeks now. I just can't stay put. I always want to feel active but sadly my body can only do so much. My mental list of things-to-do is mounting up. But there are not enough hours in a day.I deduce, I must be nesting now. I don't have this urge to organize, clean and be OC almost all the time before. I've packed Bubba and my hospital bag last week.. but...

Another One for the Wish List
It's winter time Down Under and we're a little fortunate that it doesn't get too freezing in our side of the world almost all the time. There are days like today that the sun is really up and shiny, no cold wind blowing and howling, and we still get sunshine at 4:30PM. But there were also days when...
PC Ghost
I was blog-hopping less than a minute ago, then I heard two "click-click" from the speaker, sort of something like a program was running on the background, then I blinked... and all the windows of the open internet explorer were gone! Waaaaa!My first thought, the PC was being attacked by a virus BUT our anti-virus is up and running. But, it is still possible. Things that make you hummmmmm.Baka may...
On Addresses and Mail
We get junk mail in our Mailboxes - maybe it in our residential or PO box addresses. I don't find them pesky all the time though because I get to know what are on sale and special prices in the shops near-by.But what irritates MCJ the most is the postal exchange company that manages the PO boxes here. Because we do have PO box, they have the desire not to deliver our mail addressed to our residential...

Rest and Relaxation
Ever heard or read the story about a fisherman and a director of a company? I read it in an email but I am not sure if I have archived it. Anyway, the story sort of goes like this - the director ask the fisherman why is he so content of his life as a fisherman. Then, the fisherman ask the director of...
Inspired...
I was inspired by Jean's post here to make fruit ice box cake when I read it yesterday. I have never tried a refrigerated cake before as I am not big on graham crackers. So when I knew that I can make one by using "broas", I decided to try it for the first time. We had a quick dash to the shop this afternoon and I bought the ingredients - broas (I use sponge finger bread), condensed milk, fruit...

Thankfully, Insurance Doctor has made getting auto insurance easier than ever by doing all the hard work for you.

Century Furnitures
I love authentic designed furnitures especially made of hardwood, leather, etc... maybe it be with intricate, elegant or simple design, classic or contemporary. Well, who doesn't?Back then, I sometimes bought magazines featuring celebrities' homes. I feel inspired just looking at the various architectures...
