Project 365: Fourth week

 January 22 – Sunday is indeed family day… we get to spend our lunch with the Samsons with Gerard’s nephew and wife… Kyle and Cat. 😊

January 23 – Today is more of a lowlight than a highlight as I had to take care of Giulia who is complaining of stomach pains…


January 24 – I am the official driver for today as Gerard is not feeling well…


January 25 – Today is exactly one month after Christmas but I have still have gifts that I have not distributed yet. So I decided to just use Lalamove to send the gifts to my former Pepsi colleagues. I know it was a welcome surprise to them and it warms my heart knowing that I was able to make them happy through my simple gifts to them. 😊


January 26 – Today is a very special day for Giulia and Gavin as they have been practicing for today’s special event for some quite time already. It is their field demonstration to honor Sto Nino. I really enjoyed watching my kids perform as I can see they also enjoy dancing and performing. I am really so proud of my kids!


January 27 – Gavin and Giulia watched a play in San Beda. Even if I was not there, I am happy that Gavin enjoyed watching and even requested to have a picture with the main character- the Little Prince.


January 28 – Gavin is so fond of Beanie Boos and to show-off his collection – here is a picture of Gavin with all the Beanie Boos stuff toys.


Wow! That ends my 4th week of January. By next week, we will have the last days of January and will be the start of the second month of the year!

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 ...
