1.2.3 Smile

Mitch said, post the cutest smile. So here it is, one of his most recent photos with his new toy.Mummie who would like to share their bub's photos, you're welcome to do so. :)-----On the side note, Jens' at his age is already hogging the bed (a queen size one but not like the platform beds). Sometimes...

Bigger Than Oscars

A Friend is Back

From what I can remember, my mother's course went back close to one year after giving birth. That thrilled me as I was thinking I could be the same. I don't really like the idea of expecting some uncomfy feeling every month.But when one fellow mummy blogger said that hers was back six months after giving birth, I prayed that mine could be at least later than that. And it was. Jens is now close to...

Weekend Snapshot 8

This is the motorway wall to block the noise coming from the traffic. It was put-up recently and before some 'well-behaved' mob paint graffiti on it, the government decided to paint it. Isn't that a lovely idea? On our way to the shop, I told MCJ if we can stop over on our way back so I can take...

Plugging

Finally, I was able to make a blog for Jens - The Life of a Tatapilla. Tatapilla? - you ask. Please visit http://tatapilla.com to know what it means. The frequent visitors of this blog know that I've been writing about our Tatapilla here but I thought that everything about him deserves another blog....

My Stash

I'd say women's stash eats a big chunk of the family budget. There's makeup, special toiletries, hoisery, lingerie - not just the ordinary jammies (some even bought for special occasions like bridal lingerie) and if you go with fashion - new clothes, shoes, handbag very often.I'd say too that MCJ is thankful that I don't wear make-up and he doesn't encourage me to start using. Plus my toiletries are...

Noypi Ako

This is a very interesting tag from Mich. Thanks, girl.I wonder though, why isn't there any item concerning politics. We have our own political culture, isn't it folks? I can't really add one as the only election I've voted was the Barangay and only once. Sometimes, it makes me feel less Pinoy. :( Here it goes:1. You can speak Filipino (erstwhile Tagalog). Y2. Whenever necessary, you take the hand...

My Books

When I was in RP I seldom buy brand new books, unless they were inspirational or motivational books. You know there is Booksale in every mall and even in our office building. That was my source of good reading materials in low prices.Though Booksale sell pre-loved books, if you happen to shop there when they just opened new arrivals, some of there were actually the latest bestsellers.I remember, a...

Smell the Roses

As I've said, I was and am not busy but I couldn't get things done on time. I am a procrastinator sometimes so don't even go there. :) It's just that there are so much things in my mind and stuff to plan (not as big as onsite checking of Tennessee land for sale) that they're catching up, well, just...

Weekend Snapshot 7

There had been several koala sightings in our place and this was the closest one, a good 5 meters off the ground (no need for low vision aids even for the vision impaired person, I reckon). The koala was as totally curious of us as Jens was of him.More Weekend Snapshot he...

Busy

NOT! :)I am just in my usual lazy and sloppy self. Plus with Jens teething seriously, he doesn't get to sleep longer during day time then wakes up several times at night - left Mummy tired and sluggish.Then, there's the task of cleaning around the house, though these days I am not really particular and OC with how I do stuff (not as sparkling as Kohler sinks). A tad bit clean is good enough.And I...

New Tooth at 7 Months and a Whole Lot More

Jens will turn seven months on Valentine. Time flies soo quick. It felt like yesterday when I had pregnancy sickness. Anyway...He just cut a new tooth. I felt it yesterday when he took my finger and chewed it. Thankfully though, he hasn't started biting me when I'm feeding him. Plus at seven months, Jens can be a pain in the neck already. :) What I really mean was, he can cover sooo much space...

The Lump that Went Away

Around the beginning of this year, I felt soreness in my left breast and a little lump. I am breastfeeding so I reckoned it was just a blocked duct, but it stayed for more than two weeks. I was worried after learning from a friend that her sister got a cyst though she was breastfeeding. I was thinking I could have the same case. So when we saw our GP for Jens' vaccine, I told him about it and he referred...

A Busy Week

... for The Big Guy, that is.He was half-sitting when he turned 6-months - sitting on his leg with one arm on the floor supporting him. He can't hold himself up when you put him in a sitting position for longer, also. But come February 4, he just rolled his other leg to the front and put himself in...

Holiday Plans

We only have plans to spend a month in the Philippines this year but I'm already excited. It's just a plan until I can have my visa (otherwise, I have to apply for a bridging visa B) and have Jens' passport. But I'm already excited about it.I have been looking up the net for how much are we going to spend on airfares - we won't be spending a lot on this as mine is already covered by our frequent flyer...

Awards, awards, awards

It's been raining awards in the blogosphere again... so here I am grabbing 'em all. Oh, not really all because there are some I missed. Bwahaha!Anyway, thanks sis for these. Appreciate and lurrrvvveee 'em! To all my friends, these awards are ready for grab. ...

Friends-like Life

Being a stay-at-home-mum-and-wife, gives me time to watch the tube but I am not a couch potato. There are just some program that I love watching and don't want to miss them (I adjusted my schedule just to see them). Most of them were sitcoms and weekly soaps. Yeah, I still watch soap opera here but not the melodramatic ones. One of them is Friends. I love this sitcom. I have some mini-dvd of this...

Gutter Problem

The front gutter which was repaired three years ago is sometimes leaking when there's a big storm. I think, it might be full of leaves. Need somebody to climb on the roof to clean the gutter so the water will flow smoothly to the drain. But all the people that are capable of doing it are currently busy with all the projects they've got. And I'm out of the question to do it. :) That might leave the...

Lucky Red

This is a nice tag from Arlene. Thanks, sis.. and I'm sorry for taking this too long to post. I owe you another one.START COPY HEREHere’s the rule:1. Post YOUR photo wearing red, may it be a red top, bottom, the least would be red accessories if you hate wearing red… If you can’t find one, you still...

Hearty-heart Awards

Rose awarded me this. Thanks sis.I'm a lousy blogger these days. I seem like busy that I seldom blog-hop or update my blog but I'm not really into something. And it took me soo long to post about this. And I know there are lots of tags that I've missed.I need something to bring back my groove. Maybe,...
