Project 365: My second week

 January 8 -


Sunday is grocery day and since we want to go home early - me and my daughter went to the mall to find sandals and formal bag for the wedding while the boys went to the supermarket. When we were done, we went to the supermarket to meet up with the boys.. so happy that it seems Gerard's cart was not full... but then, I saw that Gavin has his separate shopping cart filled with his favorite snacks! The snacks were neatly organized in the cart. Hay, my kids are really growing up so fast!

Gavin will have his first field demonstration in two weeks! We are so excited to see his cute costume. Unfortunately we had to return it in school since it is a bit tight on him. Hay, if only we can make him go on a diet! Hahaha!

It was so sweet to receive a message from my cousin as she told us about an activity of my niece in school. My niece Xianne was asked to draw about her most memorable experience during the vacation and guess what… she drew a house with 2 persons. Xianne said her most memorable experience was when she went to our house to play with her Ate Giulia.

I cannot really consider this a highlight, but it served as a reminder that there is really harassment/bullying in school campuses. A co-parent messaged that his son was hurt by another classmate. He showed pictures of his son’s bruises and of course he is mad. Of course, I had to remind my children not to get involved in fights, not to hurt anyone and if they are aware of such harassment cases, then they should report immediately to the teacher.

A nephew of Gerard came over to our house to visit. His nephew together with her wife came over from New Zealand. It was so nice to meet them and have a little chitchat.

A day before Mat’s wedding, of course need to have some beauty preps. So I had someone come over to do my nails. So happy with the color of my nails – nude polish with a glitter-clear top coat! This is how I like my nails to look like, neat and clean – with a little sparkle! 😊

Today is Mat’s wedding day and I was so honored to be chosen to be part of the entourage. It was a beautiful wedding which Gerard and I were happy to attend.

 

That’s it for my second week of the year! See you again in my next post! 😊

Pan-fried Dory with Lemon Butter Sauce

Image
Here's another recipe of my lovey hubby Gerard. I’m so sorry but we don't have the exact measurements of the ingredients. What you need: Cream Dory fish or any white fish fillet Salt Pepper Magic Sarap Dried basil leaves Flour Lemon juice or calamansi juice Butter Olive Oil Fresh parsley for garnishing What to do:   Make sure your fish fillet is thawed (if using frozen) and the skin surface is dry. You can use a paper towel to dab the fish. Season fish with salt, pepper, magic sarap and dried basil. Note: we used freshly cracked sea salt* and pepper because we think that it gives more flavor. But I guess, normal salt and pepper will do. Magic sarap and dried basil will give an extra flavor and a hint of herb taste. Then brush the seasoned fish with flour. Make sure to put just enough flour. Brush off the excess. In a frying pan, melt the butter together with the olive oil in medium heat. Once brown, fry the fish fillet for 1-2 minutes each ...

Changing Center of Gravity and My Unexpected Visit to Asian Hospital

Image
Changing center of gravity: The first reason you may be stumbling is obvious—you're getting bigger. As your belly grows outward, your whole center of gravity is thrown. After walking perfectly for years, your body now has to constantly realign itself to keep you upright—no wonder you're tripping. It may seem that this new life inside you has taken over your brain. Be assured, this is not the case. As your belly begins to expand and your baby grows, your center of gravity will begin to shift. While you are pregnant you may notice your balance is a little off, increasing your risk of tripping or mis-stepping. Though your baby-to-be is well cushioned in your belly, falling wouldn’t be good for either of you. You will want to start being more careful when moving about. Here are a few tips: Try not to carry things around with you that if dropped, could harm yourself. Use the handrails when going up or down stairs. Do not wear high heeled shoes, but instead, comfortable shoes tha...

My labor story

Image
I know my due date is already near that is why we have been preparing for the big event. We prepared her room already. I have made the necessary arrangements at work. I already got the approval to work from home from December 17 onwards or until I give birth. After all my due date is still on the 31 st . I have drafted my birth plan and just for final approval from my OB. There are just some more things to pack in the diaper bag and our own hospital bag. Bottomline, to some extent, we were ready. Though, at the back of my mind, I really want to give birth on December 18. If you ask me why on the 18 th simply because it is my favorite number. But God has really prepared a plan for each one of us. It may not be the same as our plan, but definitely it is the BEST. On my 37 th week, in the early morning of December 12, 2011, I felt something weird inside. It was like a ‘twitch’ in my side. I got up and went to our bathroom. I saw blood in my pee. At that instant, I realized ...
