Here's part 31 of my Project 365... Happy browsing! Day 301 – October 29, 2011 It is our usual Satur-date… we preferred Bonifacio High Street so that we can do our “walking routine”. Note that I have been walking, five times a week, at least 30 minutes per day, as preparation for Giulia’s coming. J Day 302 – October 30, 2011 It’s Ina’s birthday celebration! Happy birthday Ina! We enjoyed your kiddie-themed party! J Day 303 – October 31, 2011 Since we had a jam-packed day, yesterday – Ina’s birthday celebration, Cemetery Visit, Hamil’s birthday, we decided to take some rest for today. Good thing, my sister is already here. She is now our official cook at my mom’s house. She prepared potato soup, beef salpicao, shrimp with herbs and buttered corn… super yummy! J Day 304 – November 1, 2011 Today is our last day of our long weekend… and of course, we ended it with canvassing for baby stuff and of course, a little shopping… I am so happy that I was abl...

Here's Part 30 of my Project 365... Happy browsing! Day 291 – October 19, 2011 My officemate Nancy just came from Zamboanga and I am so happy because she gave us some yummy treats! She gave us “special cassava crunch”. It was truly y-u-m-m-y! J Day 292 – October 20, 2011 October is said to be Quality Month so for the whole month of October, there are small posters with sayings about Quality posted in cubicles. We also had the celebration for Quality Month today. We had the slogan contest, presentation of Quality Milestones, Poka-Yoke Projects and Quiz Bee. I was actually chosen as the Quiz Master. Day 293 – October 21, 2011 Today is Ma’am Baby’s last day in the Philippines and she treated us for free lunch… it is definitely not a goodbye since she will only be relocated to Singapore… so goodluck and see you soon Ma’am Baby… J Day 294 – October 22, 2011 Today is my dad’s first death anniversary and as they say, it is my Dad’s first birthday in Heaven...

Daddy, it has been a year since your passing. But I believe even though you are not physically present anymore, you have your means and ways to make us feel your presence. I am thankful to God, because He gave us people who will help us get through everything. We may not have fully moved on… but at least we have people who are there every time we need them.   Thank you to our relatives from my dad’s side… Tita Myrna/Tito Ralph and Kaye, though miles away, manages to keep in touch with us through phone calls… always ready to help us in any way. Tito Ador and Tita Nemie, though also already living in the States… thank you for sharing your pictures through FB… I am happy everytime I see Tito Ador’s pictures… because even with the 10 year difference… you look a lot like Daddy. For Ate Loida, thank you for calling my mom once in awhile to share amusing stories. For Omar and Lenin, thank you for helping us with some errands and for looking after the “coconut plantatio...

I am now 7 1/2 months pregnant, a very much obvious pregnant woman. At least now, at the first glance, people already recognizes that I am actually pregnant and not a person who just came from a buffet. I just read my post on being fat and pregnant . A post that I wrote when I was only on my 3 rd month. This post got 660 page views to-date from different parts of the world. This is really a surprise to me since I never even posted this in my facebook account. People just searched fat pregnant people, obese and pregnant etc. so I guess there are a lot of people around the globe going through the same experience as I am. My pregnancy and my experience is not unique. I am not alone. Anyway at that time, my main concern is what people think about me and how they react to my changing body. I was too sensitive back then because I was still adjusting to all changes that are happening in my body. Now that I am on my last trimester, yes I may still have some episodes wherein I get consci...

Here's part 29 of my Project 365... happy browsing! :) Day 281 – October 9, 2011 I am now on my 7 th month… so it’s time for a 3d ultrasound! It is so surreal to see our precious baby – can’t wait to see you soon... our baby Giulia Bernice. J Day 282 – October 10, 2011 Now is my turn to report for the manager’s meeting and I will be doing this until I give birth… hehehe J Day 283 – October 11, 2011 Today is the feast day of Our Lady of La Leche (Our Lady of Milk and Safe delivery), she is the patroness of mothers and mothers-to-be. I am so happy and thankful that Bianca even gave me an image of Our Lady. J Day 284 – October 12, 2011 We bought Giulia’s first nursery rhyme book yesterday and I was able to read it to her tonight… I think Giulia is happy with the nursery rhyme because I felt her movement and kicks… J hope I will be able to read the nursery rhyme to her once in while. J Day 285 – October 13, 2011 iOS 5 is now...
