She's just too Excited for her Field Trip

I woke up so early this morning to prepare my daughter for her first school field trip. She was so excited that she really got up when I woke her up. Normally she wakes up at 7-8 in the morning. But today, she woke up at 4am. She was skimpy cold when her yaya bathed her. But she was just excited to go.

For to you know, it's my hubby who accompanies her today. I made up my mind not to go. They are still on the trip now and texting me every once in a while. I am so jealous that I haven't gone. But, I just find it too tiring to be traveling on long trips that I am preggy. I guess my daughter enjoyed a lot based on the sms from her daddy. Surely tonight when they get home she would be bubbling all about her experience. I am just excited to hear her stories.

Will be posting photos of her trip as soon as I can. =)

My Daughter's field trip

Hi! Just mushing around thinking if I should accompany my daughter to her first field trip this coming Thursday. Learn and Explore Montessori School is having their field trip scheduled this August 27, 2008. The kids are going to Pampanga. All Casa (pre-school) students are required to have somebody accompany them during the trip. Since my daughter is a Junior Advanced Casa, she definitely needs one. We have paid for two persons then.

I am torn between wanting to go or just let her daddy go with her. I am heavy with baby and I lately always feel drowsy during long trips especially on buses. My daughter told me last night that she wanted me to be the one to accompany her. Of course I would really love that. We moms are that closer to our kids as we share some kind of bonding that is inexplainable. Huh!! What should I do? Should I go? That would be this Thursday already. Anyway, if itsn't me , I'm sure she would be fine with her dad and would still enjoy the trip. Let's see what may turn out. =)

Pregnancy Pillows

Many women have a difficult time dealing with stress and anxiety during pregnancy. This may result for many reasons, including pending anxiety and stress related to adding a new member to your family. For other women, anxiety and stress result from increasing discomforts associated with side effects during pregnancy.

One thing also is being pregnant on your 24th week and up is really becoming so uncomfortable as the baby is growing into 11.8 inches or longer. Finding the right position when sleeping also adds the discomforts.

While meditation, good exercise and proper diet may help reduce this anxieties and discomforts a great way to relieve the anxiety associated with poor sleep is by using a pregnancy pillow during pregnancy. I found out that there are certain pillows really created and designed for pregnant women. These pillows can help improve your comfort dramatically during pregnancy. Wow. I'd love to have these pillows as i really have trouble finding a good sleep.

Calamay- Native Delicacy of Bohol

Since it's a special holiday tomorrow due to Ninoy Aquino's day, some of my colleagues here in the office are busy readying for their inter-island travel to Bohol. I really love to go but of course I am not allowed to board a plane nor a boat anymore as I am heavy with baby.

I suddenly miss Calamay. Love the sweet taste and the sticky feel on your tongue when you eat it. For those who do not have an idea what Calamay is, well it is a native sweet delicacy (dessert) which ingredients are coconut milk, grind sticky rice, brown sugar and peanut. These all are mixed in a large and then cooked under a low fire with continuous stirring until it gets cooked.

Calamay is then placed in a clean coconut husk sealed to freshness with a red Japanese paper (papel de hapon) at the middle to keep the husks a whole. It is best before a week but it can last longer when refrigerated.

This is the favorite pasalubong (homecoming gift) from Bohol. It has been a part of their culture too. In ports, local markets and airports a lot of Calamay vendors are selling this delicacy. I definitely ask for Calamay from my colleagues. They better bring me one. One thing, all Calamays are great but I love most the Jagna made. Please bring me one from Jagna.

Why Do People Cheat on their Partners?

Physical attraction, romantic love and attachment involve three overlapping but separate brain systems. It's not really hard for somebody to sexually desire another woman or man, be infatuated with another, and still want to spend the rest of his/her life with the wife or husband. Because each kind of love or emotion serves a unique need and exists in a different context., cheaters are able to divide their emotional resources.

What makes one person more likely to cheat compared with another? The answers are both inconsistent and varied. People who are likely novelty-seeking, dopamine sensitive personalities have the most tendency to stray. But factors unique to the relationship- a need for attention, a desire to get out of the situation-are just as likely to fuel infidelity.

The Re-awakening!

I have been neglecting this blog since March or June? No post updates , not even visiting this for a while. Today , I decided to awaken it from it's long dormancy. Why not maintain this for anything cute to tell under the sun.

I made this blog with the mind that this would serve purely my online diary to jot down all my musings and rants under the hot sunny sun. However, on this re-awakening I've changed my mind. Some of my visitors might not enjoy my rantings and sweet nothings, therefore I would make this blog something worthwhile with a touch of personal notes from a woman, a mother, a daughter, and a friend to all.

I decided too to change the title. Instead of it's girly "Pinkyshelo" , I would change it to "A Woman's Notes".. where all possible interesting notes of a woman will be seen here. If you can see, I still have no blog links on my list. I welcome link exchanges, just message me through my shoutbox or leave me a comment here.

Thank you all for the visit!!

I was so busy with work-related issues recently. I have been promoted you can see to a much higher responsibility and leaves me a little time to write mushy stuff here..

I promise to be a good girl and I will update you soon once a great thingy will happen.

Bad Dream

Dear Diary,

It's 4:30 in the afternoon when I suddenly woke up from a very haunting dream. It was so creepy. I had goosebumps and my heart still beats so fast.

I was with Neneng our yaya, bebay and cong or was it gong. The face was so vague but I know it was my son. The setting was in Edsa and we're waiting for a bus. I said in the dream we will go home to Lawaan, but I dont know we were waiting for a bus going to Cubao. We should take a plane to go home. yeah right, dreams.

We already took a bus, when I suddenly realized we were hitting the road to Lawaan, going to our old place. I felt something creepy. How could I be there when I remembered we were on our way to Cubao. I said to the bus driver, "Kuya, bakit andito tayo? Papunta to sa lumang bahay namin ah, May bahay kami sa unahan dun"... The people on the bus started to panic. They heard me my words right. Near to our home we saw a pick-up car and some number of people standing there. I saw mama. So I said, "kuya , stop. I saw my mama, and I should go to her, but please dont leave me whatever happens".. So i jumped down and went to mama, I tried to speak to her, but it seems that she haven't heard me.. So I realized it's something not good. I backed off, and said to Neneng and the kids on loud voice to get back to bus at once. .. We were all afraid. The bus moved and this time it stopped in front of our house. It was really our old big house in Lawaan. But I didn't go down cause I know something weird is happening. I said to the driver, "please go, turn back down the road, we should be out from here" .. but the bus did not start. We really panic. I told the people to call on the name of the Lord, so we started calling, "OH LORD JESUS" ... and prayed desperately. We heard a loud thump on the top of the bus. The driver yelled , "it's a coffin!!!".. I don't know whoever was in the coffin. But it was a black coffin. The shape like that in movies where vampires sleep. Holy Crap , it really terrified us. I said to the driver, please go at once. .. Good that the bus started. Because of the fast sudden turn, the coffin fell off. Huh!! The bus started to run as fast as it could.. and I was awaken grasping for breath..

Oh good that it was only a dream. .. Takot ako dun ah..

Hay i dont know why and what's with that dream.. Gosh..

So much for that diary... I have nothing important to tell anymore.. Maybe I should call mama after this and kn0w how they are.

Nothing Special

Hi Diary,

There's really nothing special today. I just did a lot of stuff in the office. As usual it drains my energy.

For online things, I did write two entries in my Mi Mundo Del Amor and 1 on my Sweetiedreamer.info.

Hmmmm,.. i feel so tired now and I'm waiting for the clock to strike 5:30 so I could storm out of this office and go straight home.. I want to curl on my bed...and oh, btw, I replied to J_ _ message on the FS inbox.. well, it was just a short line.. Nothing mushy on it.

Bye , bye for now.. I will update you at once if something worth telling comes along..

Text message

Dear Diary,

Good morning to you Another fountain of happiness today.. Guess what , I have received the sweetest and most touching message so far for me.. The text came from my Ante Tessie. The mother of my One Great Love. This is her text, and I want to save it here to cherish for the rest of my life. The text message is written in our dialect and it goes :

"Gud am. Luv u nak. maski ug dili kamo n greg ang nagdayon para nako membro ka sa among pamilya. sana dili ka mausab."

I was really touched by that.. so I replied to her with this..

"Luv u too ante. Salamat kaayo sa imo pagpangga. Dili ko mausab ante oi. Sukad sa una , hangtod krn, mao ra man ako pagbati sb ninyo. Para nako mama man sad ako pagbati nimo. Salamat jud kaayo sa inyong kaayo."

You see, is it not worth cherishing? So much for now dear one.. Love you as always...

The Breaking News

Dear Diary,

First of all I wanna greet my Grandmother Happy Bday!! Happy Bday Lola.. I know you are at peace now with the Father in heaven. I miss you so much. You and Lolo..

Oh dear diary, there's one thing I've been meaning to tell you. My One Great Love, talked to me yesterday over the IM. He said thanks for the bday greetings and was sorry that He was not able to thank right away for he was so busy that day and was not even celebrating his bday. I thought that was all and he would say bye bye as He is always busy. Suddenly he said, "i Have news For you" .. I jokingly replied, "oh are u getting married?" But of course I was hoping it is not what he would say. But, sadly my dear diary, it's more like it. He and her gf are having a baby soon. huhuhu.. so probably they are getting married sooner too. He told me that his mother wanted to tell me herself but he asked her mama that He would be the one to tell me. OH of course, I said "I'm Happy for you, congrats!! "... but my heart if he only knew was breaking when I said that...

Call me selfish or what, cause i'm still feeling the way I do even though I'm the one who first got married to another. But, if you only know diary how I kept this feeling eversince we parted ways. It was so hard for me to live without him , but I was never selfish. I respected his own choice of heart. I never did beg him to come back to me even though how much I wanted it. Now would you call me selfish If i cried because I know he is getting married? I think I owe a little crying to myself. This will really ease the burden. .....

How really time flies.. Look at me now , I have kids of my own and he is going to have one of his own too.. But , why do this heart of mine keep on holding on...

*Sigh* so much for this now.. what I am thankful is that He still considers me.. He personally told me that breaking news. I did not hear it from other else, but he told me directly...

Thank you dear diary for listening to me..

with Love,

It's Monday!!!

Dear Diary,

I am so sorry if I was not able to update you on my latest for two days in a row. I have connection problem since Friday. I was really sad about it.

Anyway , nothing much happens during the weekend, except that I feel in love with a masochistic lion.. Hehehe, what a stupid lamb I am. Oh I have watched "Twilight" for the nth time again. I really can't get over it. I'm still drawn by the excruciating venom that Edward inflicted on me. Ha ha. LOL!!

After watching Twilight I just slept , and slept the whole day. Sleeping really is the highlight of my Saturdays and sleeping is like a gift for myself to me. It's the only thing that regenerates and reinvigorates my energy to the highest level. Huh!! I wonder if the vampires do get tired cause they never sleep. Edward said so.. ha ha.

Oh anyway, It's Monday now and I have ton of things to do. I still have 17 articles about GOUT to work on and my deadline is already coming.. Huh! another busy week ahead. I do hope somebody will remember me. Wahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

That's all for now. I love you my diary....muahhh

A not so Fine Friday

Dear Diary,

It's Friday today, but I am not that happy!! I mean , when it's Friday I usually get excited because it's gonna be week-end soon. Hmmm, I am just not feeling well maybe. Kasi ubo pa rin ako ng ubo. My throat sores. Not a bit cheerful about it.

Hey, u know what , Last night I dreamed of J--. It was really him. Huh!! So unusual. But I loved the dream. But sad again cause I know all I do is dream to be with him.. sucks... Reality bites my love.

Anyway, early this morning I've been checking my fs inbox hoping I got a reply from him cause I know he logged in yesterday , he must have seen my message but, no reply. This hurts again. And his phone is still unreachable. That is pretty awful. Hiding from me? "I am not putting the responsibility on YOu dope!!" Someday you will realize what you've done.

Hmm , after office we were planning to go to Dampa and grab some seafood and have Videoke.. But I really don't know if I will still go. I am not really feeling well. My body is sore, my heart is broken and my mind's gonna be ratarded!! he he..

Thanks Dear diary for listening to my rants, you will be my best friend from now on!!

.Love you..
