Welcome to my site! Will share you of my life... my thoughts... my motherhood, my becoming of a wife, a parent... my becoming of my own self... Know me more... 103 things about me and counting... 1. I am left-handed but dominantly right-handed in almost other things 2. I am first born (Do I act like one? Yay! Lemme ask my sibs) 3. I am an Ilocana – born and raised in Laoag City – but have been living in Manila since 1997 4. But I usually go home to Laoag to take a “breather” 5. I was an achiever and an honor student in my schooldays 6. I am a Registered Nutritionist-Dietitian – but sometimes I don’t watch what I eat (teehee! Guilty as Charged) 7. But I do intend to live a healthy lifestyle now for my son and my family 8. I am married and love my husband and son dearly! 9. I got married in 2007 and had baby in 2008 10. I think my son is adorable! He looks like me. (Hah! I am gwapo if I happen to be a man haha! Stage mom here!) 11. I have the same birth date with my husband 12. I don’t cook but I love cooking pasta during special occasions 13. I love traveling – though I haven’t gone outside the Philippines (oh, would love to do that!) 14. I don’t like eating sushi and sashimi but I do eat kinilaw – ilocano version 15. I am amazed at the Chocolate Hills in Bohol 16. I would love to go to Palawan, Camiguin and Davao 17. I am compulsive buyer – if I have moolah! 18. I love window shopping 19. I love browsing thru multiply and online stores 20. I am getting hooked on online shopping and window shopping – most especially for my son (but now am starting to shop for moi!) 21. And since I don’t frequent mall now, I resort to online shopping (Teehee! Excuses!) 22. Most of the things I bought online are baby things and cloths 23. I love browsing just about anything in the internet 24. I am talkative – but I do get my quiet times – sometimes… 25. I love singing and dancing – now I get to use them with my baby when putting him to sleep and entertaining him (when he starts getting fussy) 26. I am a frustrated band singer (haha!) 27. I enjoy videoke!!! (Show time!) 28. I love breastfeeding my baby 29. And I love the time we spend together – love love the bonding! 30. I’ve learned to do other things while breastfeeding my baby (you’ll be surprised!) 31. I’ve also learned other things to do while expressing my milk in the office… 32. I love babywearing – I feel close to my baby when I do this – and I would like to become advocate on this 33. I wish more moms will wear their babies. 34. I believe in attachment parenting. 35. I was able to climb a mountain – but I don’t know if I will do it again 36. I am afraid of snakes – even the sight of it makes me creep 37. I love reading books – when I have the luxury of time; but I really love books! 38. I love writing articles – when I have the luxury of time (oh, I would love to stretch time so I can do all these things) 39. I had a notebook of poems when I was in high school (sort of dedicated to someone haha! I purposely lost the notebook) 40. I love watching movies – I can go on all day watching! =) 41. I can watch TV all day long too! But I have to learn now not to spend so much time watching TV so my son will not grow with it 42. But I like watching PBA live than in the television 43. I love bowling 44. I don’t like watching war movies – and I hate it when my husband watch one in my presence (hehe!) 45. I honestly believe when I was a kid that babies come from a factory (really!) 46. I read Nancy Drew when I was in my grade school – and wished to become a detective after it 47. I read almost all Sidney Sheldon’s novel when I was in high school 48. And like anyone dreaming for their own life’s romance, I got hooked reading novels by Judith McNaught and Julie Garwood when I was in college 49. I loved reading love stories of dukes and duchess then… anything royalty 50. I sipped raw native eggs when I was a kid (Eeeww… I don’t know why I did that) 51. I sneaked out of the house when I was a kid just to join my friends… and stay late at night (my bad!) – imagine, climbing off the wall and the house just to get inside unnoticed 52. I had a puppy love and was certainly head over heels about him – now, I can say I have outgrew it (ahem…) 53. I married my first boyfriend – and love him dearly 54. I loved Biochemistry when I was in college 55. I loved role playing when I was a kid 56. I would love to become a Stay-At-Home Mom or a Work-At-Home Mom (I wish!) 57. I would like to become a breastfeeding advocate and counselor 58. I am a member of The Breastfeeding Club and would love to become part of other breastfeeding groups 59. I love watching billboards along EDSA and South Super Highway (its like watching TV, hehe!) 60. I am guilty for procrastinating on several things (oh, almost…) 61. But if I REALLY like something or love what I am doing – procrastinating is out of the question 62. I don’t like putting on make-up (call it laziness hehe!) – started when I got pregnant and I thought I would start putting on again after giving birth – but never really did =p (oh well, am starting again… yay!) 63. But I would love to try and learn how to put make up – really a good make-up 64. I love shoes and bags!!! Its some-kind-of-a-fetish (but when I became a mom – diaper bags and nursing blouses!) Teeeheee! (restraining myself!) 65. I never really had a serious “beautification” routine… too lazy to do it (oh wait, had one but never really lasted haha! Just because I was preparing for my wedding, that’s it!) 66. I appreciated my mom more and love her even more when I became a mother 67. I love the beach! Who cares if I get scorched under the sun hehe! 68. But I never really learned how to swim (yay!) 69. I don’t know how to drive (my dad did not teach me; afraid I will take the car out and bump it somewhere) 70. I would love to start a business – but haven’t decided what 71. I am sort of fickle-minded =p 72. I love walking, walking, walking! (but please not in heels or else I will freak out) 73. I thought then that one of my bestfriends is an angel (promise! I was like in my teens at that time) 74. I love watching news and Bubble Gang 75. I love pizza and pasta… I usually go to Sbarro, Pizzeria, Piadina (latest discovery, Ponzo’s in Magallanes! You should try!) 76. I love going to Enchanted Kingdom, Star City, and the likes =p 77. I’m afraid to try slides in pools – since I don’t know how to swim 78. But I loved the slides in Splash Island when I went there in 1997 – what? They’ve got “salbabidas” for heaven’s sake, and the water was shallow – now who’s afraid haha! (teehee!) 79. I love Boracay! (haha! Feeling! Been there once pa lang haha!) 80. I would love to go to Amanpulo… 81. I’m afraid to try the banana boat (chicken!) 82. I hate watching horror movies 83. I have hard time sleeping after watching those kinds 84. I’d rather join Big Brother than be a part of Survivor or Fear Factor (ahehe!) 85. I would love to start a blog site… really would love to have one… 86. I grew up with books; I had a volume of Dr. Seuss’ books then. Don’t know where my mom put it. (Gone with the wind! Haha!) 87. I love watching concerts (well, I’m on leave for those just yet… motherhood becomes me. Teehee!) 88. I love going through the baby section of SM and Rustan’s (hehe!) and Babyland (my husband too!) 89. I’m still wondering what my life would have become if I didn’t get marry early (wait, is 26 early already?) 90. But I love my life now – a wife and a mom! Wouldn’t trade it for other… (oh well, still wondering about #89 haha! Just a thought, it wouldn’t hurt ei? ;) 91. I love reading the newspaper – first, the headline; next, entertainment haha! 92. I want to have a whole new wardrobe, new sets of sandals and shoes! (Huh! Wishful thinking!) 93. If I want to buy something, I think about it 10 times over if I really need it and if it’s worth it – then buy it eventually haha! 94. I’m getting good at making PowerPoint presentations (don’t ask why) 95. I love texting… 96. And at one point, I got addicted using my mobile phone in browsing the internet (Boy! My phone bill suffered!) 97. I got addicted to Friendster but got over it eventually… (or more like because I don’t have my own internet connection hehe! – got lazy to go to internet cafe) 98. I got stretch marks when I was pregnant… 99. I gave my two-piece swimsuits to my sis since I refuse to use them now because of my stretch marks … buuhhuu! But I’ll still use swimsuits which will cover those priceless marks! Teehhee! 100. I drink milk every morning and rarely drink coffee (should be with lots of creamer!)… only during meetings where milk is not usually served. 101. I would love to have my own house and car (who does not?!) 102. I thank God for email and internet! 103. I would love to become more adventurous with dressing up… (literally, from head to toe!)
