Tatay's 37th Birthday!

 Tatay Joel's 37th Birthday Celebration last August 28, 2017,

 his actual birthday is on the 29th but we celebrate it a day earlier.

It's his first birthday as a soon to be baby daddy.

Baby Kick!

I am now 31 weeks pregnant.
And, I can really feel when our baby kick.
It was a bit shocking at first but I really love it when he's moving.
I can really feel his heartbeat.
It was really amazing that God bless us with this little bundle of joy.

I'm so excited when the day comes that I can really hold him in my arms.

The soon-to-be Tatay is excited too.
He's imaging that his baby will look like him.

And also the soon-to-be Lola, imagining how she can take care of her grandson.

We're really praying that our baby is normal and healthy.

And I'll deliver him here on earth safe and sound.

I know God will be there to help and guide us with our growing family.

Wishes before I gave birth.

I'm on my 28th weeks of pregnancy, almost 7 months and 2 months to go before I pop.

We're going to have a baby [To be announced on the 22nd of July]...

We already had a name for the baby.

We already know where to gave birth and I hope to do it normally.

What I wish before I gave birth?

I wish for a healthy, safe and normal baby and pregnancy.

I wish I can provide all the things my baby needs when he/she was born.

I wish I can buy all the things in my Dream for the Baby list.

I wish to have my maternity shoot.

I wish we can renovate our home before I gave birth, so it was a brand new home for our baby. No more termites, cockroaches and bukbok please.

I'm imagining how it will look like. If in God's will, I know in 2 months time it will happen.

I hope God will answered all my prayers. Thank you Lord!

We need some rest.

What we need now is REST?

I've been on a sick leave for a week due to spotting. I'm on my 28th weeks of pregnancy. But instead of having a bed rest, I'm working on our canteen/eatery to help my mom and my husband on different chores.
We don't have a helper since Saturday [July 8] because according to him he was sick. So its just the three of us working hard to managed the business.

We woke up each day [Monday to Saturday] at 3:00 in the morning to prepare and cook foods we sell in our canteen. We sell them from 4:00 am until after lunch. We do all the chores, from cooking, to serving, to washing the dishes and we get so tired at the end of each day.

We are thankful that we earn money thru that.

But still we need some REST.

I wish we had enough money to renovate our canteen and while the renovation was happening we will be taking some rest...

Please Lord grant us some rest...

My wish now is a relaxing days without anything to think about...

Back on track.

So after facing some financial difficulties the past few months, I can say that we are now back on track, not totally, but we're getting there!

I am thankful that God really answered our prayers.

We can now have a weekly grocery shopping, not like before we can't even buy a half dozen shampoo sachet.

Our wallets didn't left empty each day.

We can go to the mall weekly and buy some stuffs we need.

We now have budget for my monthly maternity check up.

We can pay some of our debts one time.

Our only problem is that we still cannot save 10,000.00 monthly for our car loan.

But, I know we can get there soon...

Maybe next month we can save enough money to pay our loan.

Thank you God for continuously blessing us.

July already.

So what happened to June Reveal?

Sadly, the baby's gender didn't showed up when I had my ultrasound last June 9, 2017.
Maybe he/she's hiding because he knows how excited his parents and grand mother-to-be to buy him stuff.

But the OB said, she thinks it's a BOY...
Me too, I think it's a BOY...

Why?
Darker underarms.
Dark necks.

So let's wait, if on my next ultrasound  this 7th of July he will show up...

Let's change the June Reveal to July Reveal and sorry for keeping you waiting...

We're all excited.

Blue or Pink? What do you think?
He or She? What will it be?

Waiting game...

Leaving... Not really.

I have two (2) blogs...

This one which started over 10 years ago and with multiple changes in its address and description...

And the other one  which started May of 2016.

I am planning to leave that blog and start posting on the this blog instead.

I want to have a new blog to write about the new chapter of my life.

This blog started when I was on my first job after I graduated from college.

This blog contains some nonsense topics and some wishes a new girl had when she faces the new chapter of her life, the reality of life.

But, I cannot totally leave this blog because I think its lucky...

I posted some wishes here, materially, and it came true...

So instead of posting on the new one, I decided to just update this one.

This is where it all started and here we will continue...

Posting more blogs soon...


See you folks.. :)

How I wish!

Well, as I said on my previous blog entry that we are currently on a financial difficulty the past few months... I will now claim that this coming days we will be financially able again. In Jesus name. We can pay all our bills and debts. We will have enough money for my pregnancy and delivery of the baby. We are able to buy the things we want our baby to have. We can financially able to renovate our house for the coming of the baby. My mom can buy her maintenance medicines. We can buy the things we really need and want. We can have a maternity shoot this September. We can prepare for the baby's christening on my mom's birthday in November. We can now donate to charities and churches to give back the blessings we receive. I know this will happen sooner or later. I believe that God will send us miracles. In Jesus name. Amen. Thank you Lord.

Financially disabled.

Nung mga nakaraan buwan, medyo nahaharap kami sa financial problems...
Parang walang swerte yung pera sa amin ngayon.
Nagigipit kami at wala kami maibayad sa mga dapat namin bayaran.

Naubos na yung fund ng bank account ko para pambayad sa kotse namin monthly na 10,000.00

Hindi na rin ako nakabayad sa Credit Card.

Hindi namin mapa maintenance yung kotse kasi walang budget.

Hindi namin naloloadan yung rfid ng kotse.

500.00 lang kami kung magpagas lagi, di na makafull tank.

Hindi nakakabili ng gamot si mommy.

Hindi na sya nakakabili ng Diabetasol.

Hindi kami makapag grocery.

Hindi na rin kami nakakakain sa labas.

Hindi na kami nakakabili ng mga pangangailangan namin.

Hindi kami nakabayad sa housing loan namin.

Nakapagsangla na kami ng alahas, kulang pa din, wala pa din.

Medyo mahina yung kita ng tindahan at minsan wala na kami pamalengke.

Nakautang din kami sa 5-6, kaya gipit na gipit din talaga kami.

Sana po Lord matapos na po ito.

Maging finacially able na sana ulit kami at mabayaran na naman yung mga kailangan namin bayaran.

Lumakas na po sana ang kita ng tindahan.

Magakapuhunan na po sana kami ulit.

Makabili na sana kami ng mga pangangailangan namin.

Bless us Oh Lord!

We're praying thay you will bless us financially.

But still, we're thankful na hindi po kami nagkakasakit at wala nangyayari na masama sa amin.

Thank you Lord!

Furniture for the Dream House!

We're not rich.
We just have enough money to survive our everyday life.
We're just lucky to be able to buy the foods we wanted to eat.
We're living in a simple home.

And I always dream to have this beautiful home furniture in the future.

Since we had a small home, I consider to have this dinner set with couch chair.

Instant 2 in 1. We can use this as a dinning set or a living room set.

[Our Home - P41,950.00]

 

 or this 6-seater dining set

[Mandaue Foam -  P32,400.00]

I really love to have this glass display cabinet.

We can place here the toy car collection from Petron Station of my hubby.

[Mandaue Foam -  P19,000.00]

I dream to have this bed in Queen Size.

For comfortable sleeping.

Top photo is for us. Below photo is for Mom.

[Our Home - P24,950.00 each] 

I also want to have this dresser.

Big enough for all our clothes.

One for us, one for Mom.

[Mandaue Foam - P13,500.00]

I also want to have side table for lamp and to place our phones and 

Mom's glasses before we slip.

Top photo is for us. Below photo is for Mom.

[top: Mandaue Foam - P2,900.00]

[below: Our Home - P3,995.00] 

I also want to have this in our room.

We seat here while taking care of our future baby or

 if we just want to just sit and relax. 

[Blims Furniture - P14,498.00]

 or this one. I love the color.

[Our Home - P12,950.00]

 

 I want to have this sofa bed in my Mom's room.

It will serve as a sofa if just want to hangout in her room.

It will serve as a bed when we have house guest, like my mother-in-law

 when she visit her grand child.

 [Our Home - P29,950.00]

Or this one with wooden frame.

[Blims Furniture - P37,998.00]

And lastly, I want to have this white chest drawer cabinet, for our baby.

We can put her clothes and other belonging in here.

Plus we can use the top to place her Sterilizer, Feeding bottle, milk formula and others.

[Our Home - P12,950.00]

I hope someday, in God's will and perfect timing. I can post a photo of our home with all of this, my dream furniture. So let's pray that God will continue to bless me and my family for us to be able to make our dreams come true.
