私の愛の誕生日 (My Love's Birthday)

Yesterday was hubby's birthday. In the morning, surprisingly, I wasn't feeling *meh* at all. I had a goal in mind. And that was to get home and bring some "special" breakfast before hubby goes to work.


I wanted hubby to have the best-tasting pancake I had so far.
The nearest Pancake House from where I work is at Makati Med (hospital).

Hubby was kind enough to remark that the pancakes' taste are nothing compared with what we usually eat at McDo. He didn't finish everything and I ate the leftover cake.

In the afternoon though, I still haven't decided on where to bring him for dinner. I just wanted to go some place where I wouldn't feel nauseous. I had something in mind though.

Thankfully, when we got seated at Yabu, the scent of the place was pleasant enough for me. I smelled a mild citrus-y and perhaps tangy aroma and I expressed how it's not repulsive.

We had kurobuta and hire set, and my latest discovery - edamame!
We also learned something new - everything in their katsu (kurobuta / hire / rosu) set menu are refillable - except for the chops. Yes - the soup, fruits, pickles, rice, shredded cabbage and the sauce.

We both had too much though and didn't finish everything. But I swear that if my appetite is only at its peak, nothing will remain - even those cabbages. Also, to add a note for next time - order 90g instead of 120g of katsu.

Can't wait to see you!

There... I can finally say it at almost 39 weeks pregnancy. We've been to the doctor twice and been anticipating our little guy to come anytime soon. But soon just becomes sooner and later it seems. Last week, during my internal examination, our OB was surprised to find me 2 cm dilated (cervix), yet still thick. That's when we started anticipating signs of impending labor. The bloody show - had to cross this out since I was already dilated The true contractions - pain radiates from tummy to back and wouldn't go away even after changing positions The breaking of the water bag - sudden gush and non-stop trickling of water even when you attempt to hold your pee After a week (today), my stats proved I progressed somehow - 3cm dilated and cervix is soft (but still thick). Still not THE indicator which will allow me to be admitted to the hospital. Walk, walk, walk, walk, walk... is all the good doc recommends. Gee... These days, I so feel my bottom will fall off ...

Val Villarin is a fairy godmother

We've always trusted in Val's expertise since the day we booked his services. My first trial makeup He did my hair and make up twice before the wedding. One during our video prenup shoot, another one during our photo prenup shoot. I loved how I look especially in our prenup pictures. I echoed to Val my fiance's feedback though about having too much make up on our first try. My second trial make up was done with airbrush and was much lighter. Mike found it much better than the first one. My second trial makeup Our transactions with Val had always been worry-free. I would call several weeks prior to the schedule, and then remind him a day before about it. I think he could do better with following up the customer a day before their schedule, specially during trial make ups for prenup shoots. He called 4 or 5 days prior to our wedding day to confirm our final headcount. On our wedding day, he and his two other hair and makeup artist came the earliest! That...
