Patience....Patience...Patience

2008-02-11T13:13:00.000+01:00

Its been a while that I havent update my blog.I was busy with everything.Busy with taking care of my baby,doing the household chores and everything that I just want to sleep immediately after dinner and watching tv at night.
This weekend that passed, I got an every job.Since my my husband is off, he take care of our baby I went to work the whole weekend.Working is fun and exciting. It feels good since I will meet other people and practice my swedish. But then shit happens sometimes that you cant bear and just end up crying.And then you realize that because you've been affected so much you were not able to do your job well.You have to be patient thats what they told me but sometimes a man's patience will end.Of course it would be nice to work when other is nice to you.Do you think you like to work with somebody when they will just yell at you?When you ask something and then they will just slap somthing on the table in front of you?ITs very hard when you are not used to it.But as what they say its part of the job.You just have to be patient.And yes I didn't say anything.After I work I went home and cry at home instead just to relieve my feeling.
Well, my hard weekend passed and now I'm relaxed.We've been out walking since its a very nice day today.The sun is up and not so cold outside.My little one is sleeping also so I have time to update my blog.

Snow Fall

2008-02-02T14:32:00.000+01:00

When I wake up this morning, I was amazed when i looked at the window.Snow was falling today.So big snow that was falling.Its so nice to since it has been long since the last snow fall comes.So nice to see all white around.After,I did all the household chores and taking bath of my little one,we decided to go out.We took our time because according to the weather report the snow will also melt withiin this day or tomorrow.I put on the winter clothes of my baby and grab our sledge.I put him there and we play at the backyard of our apartment.I was afraid at first since it was his first time being outside with the snow.Im afraid he will fell cold or he will chill.But then he was just smiling when I pull the sledge and he enjoy it.

Top Model

2008-01-31T14:45:00.000+01:00

Since I came here in Sweden, Top Model has been my favorite tv program.Whether its America's Next Top Model or Canada's Top Model or Stockholm Top Model, I patiently watch every episode.It was season cycle 7 that I first saw in the television and followed until it ends.It was nice since you will see how they transformed to be a professional model.
America's Next Top Model (often shortened to Top Model or abbreviated as ANTM) is a reality television show in which a number of girls compete for the title of America's Next Top Model and a chance to start their career in the modeling industry.
The show was created and is hosted by television personality, former supermodel and talk-show host, Tyra Banks, who also serves as the lead judge and executive producer of the show.
I like Tyra Banks also.She very nice model.
Currently,Im watching the old season of Top Model which is shown now in Swedish television.And also waiting for the new season which is the season 9 that will start soon.

Baby Café

2008-01-30T19:21:00.000+01:00

Today,was a very nice day.We wake up late since it's still nice to stay in bed and hide under the blanket and my husband is off from work.Our litte one also was still sleeping.After breakfast we decided to go to the Baby Cafe.They open every Wednesday from 11 oclock in the morning untill 2 oclock in the afternoon.When we arrived there, their was already many mother's bringing their baby.
Baby Cafe is where mother's and babies gather and meet each other. Talk about experiences with babies and breastfeeding. Midwives there will help you also if you have difficulty in breastfeeding.They will also teach you how to prepare food which is best for the baby when it started to eat solid food.
Aside from that, its good also because the baby will meet other babies.
It was my second time that I attended the baby cafe and I found it nice.It will remove your boredom just staying at home with the baby.You can also eat there and drint coffe(but you have to pay..but its affordable) while the workers watch your baby playing with other babies.I can also check if the growth of my child is doing good(aside from the monthly check up) since I can see other baby of the same age.I learn also many songs for the baby since you will be singing also.

Hi To All

2008-01-29T08:27:00.001+01:00

Good day to all of you out there!

I woke up early this morning because i cant sleep more..hehehehhe.BUt my husband and my son is still sleeping.Hagok pa kaajo ang lubot.Our son sleep with us in our bed.And since dako na buyag, he already moves a lot and almost occupy my place in the bed.I woke up and realized im almost falling on our bed already.So, I just jumped out of bed and had a cup of tea and sit on the computer check some mails and of course write something here on my blog.
Yesterday, was the birthday of my one of our bosses at work. She is the boss in the Oxygen Lounge and Nightclubb in the HOtel where my husband and I work now.Her name is Ewa.She turned 30 years old yesterday so we here friends and the company surprised her of a very relaxing thing.We kidnapped her while she was working yesterday and bring her to go swimming,bubbling in a jacuzzi,stay in a bastu,and eat some fruits while doing those things.After that we had some drinks and then the hotel prepare food for her.SO we ate, sing and dance for her.She was very happy and surprised.
She is also a very good friend of ours.At her young age she already became one of the bosses in the company.A very nice and beautiful lady.One time we worked together,she gave me tips....hehehehehe...since she was in the restaurant before and I'm in the kitchen.She help me to have an extra job.Shes very nice.She's from Korea in origin but she is adopted here in Sweden.
So, while they were still partying,unfortunately, we had to go ahead of them,since my little one is already sleeping and the music in the nightclubb is already very loud.ITs not good for my son.
It was a very fun day yesterday...
We wished Ewa all the best.

My Birth Stone

2008-01-28T09:25:00.000+01:00

Garnet is the birthstone for the month of January & anniversary gemstone for the second year of marriage.

Garnet derived its name from the Latin word granatus, meaning like a grain, which refers to the mode of occurrence wherein crystals resemble grains or seeds embedded in the matrix. Garnet is a family of minerals having similar physical and crystalline properties.

Garnet is the name which can be applied to six similar mineral species, namely almandine, pyrope, spessartine, grossular, andradite and uvarovite. To further complicate matters, many garnets are actually a combination of these minerals. Rhodolite garnet for instance, is a combination of almandine and pyrope, and is sometimes referred to as pyrope-almandine garnet. There are also many trade names and other commonly used names which only adds to the confusion, such as Rhodolite, Tsavorite, Hessonite, Malaya, Mozambique, Mandarin, Ant-hill, Leuco, Hydrogrossular, Demantoid, Melanite, Topazolite, Thai. Other names such as "cape ruby" are simply misleading and deceptive. Some garnets also exhibit color change and stars.

What Kind Of Element I Am?

2008-01-28T09:23:00.001+01:00

Your Element Is Water

A bit of a contradiction, you can seem both lighthearted and serious.
That's because you're good at going with the flow - but you also are deep.

Highly intuitive, you tune in to people's emotions and moods easily.
You are able to tap into deep emotional connections and connect with others.

You prefer a smooth, harmonious life - but you can navigate your way around waves.
You have a knack for getting people to get along and making life a little more peaceful.

What's Your Element?

How Daring Am I?

2008-01-28T09:08:00.001+01:00

You Are Placid and Peaceful

It's not that you're scared of most thrills
It's just that you don't need them to be happy
You're content with life as is... no need to change it
Just make sure to let loose a little every now and then!

How Daring Are You?

Friendship Day

2008-01-28T07:37:00.000+01:00

I got this award from Sis Mel.Thank you very much for sharing this to me.

Death

2008-01-28T07:25:00.000+01:00

Week before last week,my mother-in-law phoned us and informed us that her mother(my husband's grandmother) was bought to the hospital because of heat attack. And that she has been operated but then there was some blood clot on her brain that she could not be awaken and anytime she will die.It was very hard since it happened so sudden.At the following night after she has been brought to the hospital she died.So, last Wednesday we have been to my in laws place to attend the funeral. It was in the south of Sweden so its quite a long travel for us.It was nice to meet my husband family.His cousins, aunts and uncles.But then it was very sad to think that one of the family had gone away.
Anyway, death is not the end of everything. Its the beginning of the new life on heaven where happiness is eternal. Heaven is the place where we cant visit here on earth.Heaven is one of those places but shall be our home after we die and leave this world. Heaven is the place where we will live forever with all the good people who lived on this earth at one time. It is also a place where we will live with God. The people who live there are alive. They will never die again
Although, death is the last chapter of the history of human life,we should remember that it is where the summary of how we live on earth is being evaluated. How we live our life according to the laws of God and human laws.

Parents Reunion After Delivery

2008-01-22T13:11:00.000+01:00

As I was browsing all the photos in our computer, I came to look at a photo that was taken last January 9.It was when we're having our parents reunion after delivery.We were seven mother-to-be who gave birth last October.
One month before the delivery, we had the parents group where we get together with the midwives and talk about how it will be on and after delivery,pain relievers to be used,breastfeeding and sex life after delivery.On that time we still have our very big stomach,complaining about back pain,swollen feet and leg cramps. But when we were having our reunion after delivery,it was amazing to see each other as we carried our babies and no big stomach anymore. It was like magic how it happens that the human being we been carrying before in our stomach is now in our arms. A very nice feeling. After a very long wait, finally the time has come.It was a very fun as we just keep on staring on each others baby. We talk about the delivery and our lives with the babies. How different it is now than before when we still didn't have them.Among the seven, there were two of us who gave birth thru ceasarian operation because our babies was pretty big. And I am one of those.My son weighs 4420 grams when he was born. So the doctors says I should have emergency ceasarian operation after two weeks late than expected due date and long hours of labor.The other mother, her son was 5200 grams. Her son was really big. And the others were thru vaginal delivery.There were only two baby girls that was born and the rest were baby boys.
In the picture theres only six babies since the other mother already move to London.

What Kind of Intelligence Do I Have?

2007-12-28T09:16:00.000+01:00

Your Dominant Intelligence is Logical-Mathematical Intelligence

You are great at finding patterns and relationships between things.
Always curious about how things work, you love to set up experiments.
You need for the world to make sense - and are good at making sense of it.
You have a head for numbers and math ... and you can solve almost any logic puzzle.

You would make a great scientist, engineer, computer programmer, researcher, accountant, or mathematician.

My Good Friends

2007-12-20T14:54:00.000+01:00

We aren't sisters by birth

but God wanted us to share

a kinship role on Earth.

He planned it out carefully

and sent ribbons from above

to unite our hearts

in kindness and love.

And what we are together

is beautiful and rare,

through tears and laughter,

we're blessed by all we share.

When I was reading this poem, i came to remember those days when I first meet Sis Snow and Mama Shark.They were my good friends in the net which until now is still my friends.It feels so good to keep good friends like them where you can share everything.Even if we are so busy with each others carrier, still fine time to communicate and see if each is doing well.
I love you guys!

My Country Philippines

Philippines, Republic of the (in Filipino, Republika ng Pilipinas), republic in the western Pacific Ocean, comprising the Philippine Islands and forming part of the Malay Archipelago, an island grouping that extends southward to include Indonesia and Malaysia. The Philippines includes more than 7,100 islands, but most of the land area is shared among the 11 largest islands. The terrain is mountainous and includes many active volcanoes. The location of the Philippines just north of the equator gives the republic a moderate tropical climate suited for the cultivation of export crops such as coconuts and pineapples. Agriculture has long formed the backbone of the economy. Manila, located on east central Luzon Island, is the national capital and largest city. The republic’s cultural institutions, industries, and federal government are concentrated in this rapidly growing metropolitan area.

The people of the Philippines are called Filipinos.The republic has one of the highest population-growth rates in the world. The official languages are English and Filipino (formerly spelled Pilipino), which is based on the indigenous Tagalog language. More than 80 other indigenous languages and dialects are also spoken, and the people of the Philippines are divided into regional ethnolinguistic groups. The Philippines is the only predominantly Christian country in Asia. Muslims, often called Moros, live predominantly in the southern islands and form a small but significant religious minority.

Surprise Baby Shower

2007-12-04T19:25:00.000+01:00

Saturday, September 22, 2007 at around 1:00 oclock in the afternoon, I was surprised by a baby shower at the house of my best friend and my mother here in Sweden, Mama Emma.
Week before she invited me to come to their house because she said her husband will not go home on that weekend. Of course I am excited to come to have chika2x and to help here with some chores at her home which we usually do with each other. We help each other if we do something.But then, I didnt know they plan already about a party which I certainly have no idea.
So wen saturday comes, i told my husband that we have to go there early since I have to help mama Emma to do something but he said we have to go there around 1 oclock because he has to rest a little more since he was away for three days and just arrive the day before. And then I was planning to cook something to bring but he really insist that we dont have to bring anything. When we are preparing to go, he told me to wear nice clothes and look at me while i was changing. (Thats why because it will be a party that we were going to.) So, when we arrive at Mama Emma's house, I wonder because there were loads of cars parking outside. I was shy and hesitant to come inside since i was thinking maybe she have visitors or her husband's family was there visiting her. But wen we knock at the door and Mama Emma open it, I saw them all smiling with the BIG poster on the wall MARILOU MOTHER TO BE!!!! I was really shock and surprise since all our Filipina and Thai friends was there with their husband and children.I even keep on slapping my husband because he knows it and he didnt tell me(kay surprise lagi).Of course I had teary eyes because i dont really expect to see them all there and to have such party. (wa man mi ana sa pinas..hehehhehe) Mama Emma prepared everything, food, games, prizes and others also bring food and presents for the baby. I was really happy and SURPRISED of what they did. They are so nice and very kind. I am very thankfull to them and most of all I am very thankful to Mama Emma and her husband who planned and prepapared everything.
We love you !!!!
