Hello Guys, it's Friday and payday at the same time. Super daming malls ang nag sale ngayon and for sure, super traffic na naman ngayon. Yngat guys sa mga masasamang tao na nakapaligid, alam nyo naman..

Anyway, it's been a while since the last time I post about our Kamote Sitcom. Yung iba nga nakalimutan ko na eh, sorry naman kaya eto bumabawi ako. Hehe. Ang dami kasing events c/o Mommy Bloggers Philippines and I love it. Thanks Ms. Lanie for the opportunity ha.

So para mabawasan ang stress nyo kahit papano (hopefully), I'm sharing with you some of my husband kalokohan. Peace hon!

THE PERFUME

Every week nagpapalit ako ng bag ko, then last Monday I noticed na basang basa yung loob ng bag ko, yun pala natapon yung pabango ko.. Huhu..

Ako - Hon! (in louder voice)
Ian - Ano yun? (nagtataka)
Ako - Natapon yung pabango ko sa bag.. Huhu
Ian - O anong gagawin ko?
Ako - Wala na kong pabango, di pa naman ako sanay ng di nagpapabango.
Ian - Sus, walang problema yan. E di palagi mong bitbitin yung bag mo para mabango ka parin.
Ako - Ay kamote ka talaga!

**Ang talino talaga ni Mister noh! Sarap sapakin. Haha**

Continuation...

Ako - Hon, lika dito saglit.
Ian - Bakit?
Ako - (sabay spray ng pabango sa buong damit nya)
Ian - Ano ba yang ginagawa mo?
Ako - Pinapabanguhan kita para mabango ka.
Ian - Hindi ko na kailangan nyan, yung pawis ko nga ginagawang pabango eh.

**Ay susme, lakas mangarap ng asawa ko. Hehe**

 LAMBINGAN TIME (Rated SPG)

 Every since Rhian came into our lives, hindi na kami tabi matulog ni Ian. Look at this photo, ganyan ang pwesto namin lagi..

Photo from Baby and Breakfast

So imagine, 10 months na kaming hindi tabi sa kama. So last night, ang position namin is the Booby Trop, then all of a sudden sumiksik si Mister sa akin..

Ako - Oh, bakit andito ka sa trono ko, lagpas ka na ha. Balik ka na dun sa pwesto mo..
Ian - Dito muna ako, gusto kitang katabi eh. (Sabay yakap ng mahigpit)
Ako - Magigising si Rhian, bukas na tayo mag usap.
Ian - Ayaw ko, dito muna ako. Aba matagal tagal na tayong hindi magkatabi sa kama.
Ako - E ano naman ngayon, tiis tiis muna. 
Ian - Ah, basta tabi tayo matulog ngayon. Hayaan mo muna si Rhian sa dulo may unan naman eh hindi naman sya malalaglag eh. (Higpit ng yakap)
Ako - Cge bahala ka, pag nagising anak mo ikaw ang magpapatulog ha.
Ian - Oo ba. Basta tabi tayo ha..

After few minutes..

Rhian - Waaaahhh.. Wahhhh.. Wahhh.... 

Ako - O pano ba yan, balik ka na sa pwesto mo at nagising anak mo..
Ian - Huhu. Sabi ko nga. 

**So wala ring nagawa si Mister kung hindi matulog sa kabilang dulo ng kama. Sorry Hon! Next time nalang.. :p)

Enjoy your weekend guys!

I believe that every one of us need to just sit back, relax and a good massage even just for one day. Okay, I think I’m dreaming too much, but you know what I have a confession with you, I am a huge fan of massages and I’m so addicted to Swedish Massage. In fact, one of our favorite place is Wesha Spa located in Pasay (near World Trade Center), I can’t remember the last time I had my whole body massage since I got pregnant with Rhian.

And so I’m super lucky to have a mommy blogger friend who invited me to try Hagod Nail and Spa located at C. Palanca St. which is so near at our office. As in mga 3 tumbling lang andun ka na. J Thanks Mommy Ethel!  Anyway, I was scheduled to try their service last Friday, November 21 and you know what I’m so excited to experience again the whole body massage. Finally, matatangal na lahat ng lamig ko sa katawan after 48 years! Woohooo…


Hagod literally translates to “Massage” but for us Filipino this word has so much meaning. Diba tayong mga mommies, usually sinasabi natin sa mga babies natin lalo na pag naubo or may sakit, “Hagurin mo yung likod” meaning you want your son/daughter to relax and give comfort. This is the first time I heard about this place and after hearing the story behind this spa makes me realized that I really want to go back here and be their loyal costumer.


The spa is at the basement of The Colonnade Residences. The guards directed me to the walk downstairs where the luxury spa was located.  When I got there, I noticed a glass door and what seemed like a cozy living room which you can sense quietness. I already felt relaxed because of the scents. The interiors are very homey and calm, I love the wooden furniture all over the place.  A friendly female receptionist asked me for my massage preferences, but I told her that I was looking for Ms. Leann Kwan which is our contact person.

Ms. Leann introduces herself and she told the masseur (Ate Marjorie) to give me a Swedish massage. I was ushered to the massage area and instructed me to put my things inside the box and wear only the shorts they provided.

Before we begin the massage, Ate Marjorie asked me where I want to focus on more, so I told her that I want to focus on my back, super dami ko na kasi talagang lamig sa likod and laging masakit likod ko. Ate Marjorie started my Swedish massage with soothing stroke, honestly I fell asleep halfway, lalo na nung hinahangod na yung mga lamig ko sa likod. Sarap ng feeling!  I had a full body massage for one hour plus I asked to Ate Marjorie to give me 5 more minutes to rest and fix my things.

The massage was HEAVENLY! I highly recommend Swedish Massage. Two Thumbs Up! I feel rejuvenating again! Thank you Hagod for the most relaxing experience even just for one hour.

With Ate Marjorie

Right after my massage, I was able to talked with Kuya Rey (employee of The Colonade Residence) and talks about the story behind Hagod Spa, it was formerly known as “ The Village Spa” for almost 15 years but the company was in trouble when the owner decided to close their business, fortunately and Thank God the caretaker which is a kind-hearted man of the Spa decided to bought it and continue the business for the sake of their employees and eventually, they change the name from “The Village Spa” to “Hagod Spa and Nail Care”.

By the way, they also offer special services like foot spa, facial care, manicure, pedicure at a very low price.  So if you’re working at Makati, try and visit the spa. Believe me, you will experience one of the most relaxing massage ever.

Today, marks our 100th Month of being together. Yes! Wohoo... 72 months of bf/gf stage + 28 months of married life = 100 Months of Happiness and Unconditional Love.

Year 2006

Dear Honey,

 It's a roller coaster ride being with you for the past 100 months. I know our relationship is not perfect but believe me, I love this crazy ride. Thank you for everything, as in EVERYTHING! I can't imagine my life without you, susme ikaw lang ang nakatagal sa pabago bago kong ugali. I remember the day nung una tayong nag meet personally, grabe! totoo pala yung kupido. Parang may pumana sa puso ko at nainlove agad ako sayo. Naks! 

 Ang dami na nating napagdaanan but still we're together. 21 years old palang ako when we first met pero you told me that you want to spend the rest of your life with me. Naisip mo talaga yun? Ikaw ha. Alam mo hindi ko parin lubusan maisip na sa isang "Hi!" sa skype makikilala ko ang taong makakasama ko habang buhay, e sino ba naman kasi ang mag aakala na hindi pala impossible yun, look at us now. 


Nalibot na natin ang buong pilipinas, napuntahan na natin ang iba't ibang bansa at handa akong libutin ang buong mundo basta kasama kita, kayo ni Rhian. I really thank God because he gave me the right man for me, thank you honey for staying with me all the time, thank you for understanding my mood swing, thank you for cheering me up when I'm down, thank you for being my lifetime partner, thank you for being a good father to my daughter, thank you for supporting me in whatever I do, thank you for being a good provider for us and for taking care of us. Thank you for your unconditional love, thank you for being my best friend, my number 1 fan and my forever travel buddy. 


You and Baby Rhian are the greatest gift that I received from God and I will be forever grateful how blessed I am to have you both. I may not be a perfect wife for you but I promise you one thing, that I will be at your side for better or for worst, in sickness and in health, till death do us part. 

 Again, Happy 100th Monthsary Honey! I love you to the moon and back! post signature post signature

Dear Baby Rhian,

Oh, two more months to go and you will enter toddler stage na. How time flies so fast. I can still remember the first time I saw you, super cute and ang liit liit mo pa and now look at you, you are getting bigger and beautiful everyday. So what exactly is going with this 10 month old baby girl? Well, I guess you gain another pound this month and another inches tall (Don’t worry honey, we will visit your pedia soon), you are so likot na to the highest level which I think it’s normal. I love watching you how you learn to play with your tongue maybe because of your itchy growing teeth. I’m so proud of you that your body knows how exactly what to do.

You know what Rhian, you grasp everything, pati salamin ko di mo na pinatawad, from your toys to the things that are dangerous to hold. Di ko tuloy alam kung kanino ka nagmana ng kalikutan mo. You put everything on your mouth na parang hindi ka pinapakain, you cry so much pag hindi binigay yung gusto mo, but baby you are very good in everything. You are able to hold one thing and pass it from one hand to another and you just smile whenever you did it. You really love to smile, in fact you have the most beautiful smile I ever seen. Pag nag uupload ako sa facebook asahan mo na marami syang likes, because seeing your innocent smile means so much to me, to us. Whenever I see you, I can’t control myself but to cry, because you are the most precious gift that we received from God.


Rhian, I Love You! You are my everything. You are exactly the daughter I always hoped to have. I love to embrace you all day, nurse you as long as you want, cuddle you and carry you as long as I can.  Thank you for filling our days with so many smiles. I love waking up to your laughter and beaming face each day, feeling your tight hugs, and watching your determination every day. Daddy and I were happy before you came along, but now that we have you, happiness doesn't even touch how we feel. Baby Love, we love you so much and we are so proud to be your parents.

Happy 10th month Baby Rhian.

Love,
Mommy

I’m proud to say that I am a hands-on mom and wife at the same time. When I got pregnant last year, I told myself that I will breastfed my baby until 1 year old or kung pagpapalain, until 2 years old sana. Healthy na tipid pa kami lalo na sa mahal ng gatas ngayon, so when Rhian came in our life I started to breastfed her. Yes! No formula milk since day 0! Clap Clap Clap! At first it’s so difficult for me kasi super sakit to the point na nagsugat pa nipples ko, but I close my eyes and told myself na “kaya ko to, kakayanin ko para sa anak ko.” After few weeks of my so called “torture” nalagpasan ko rin sya. Yahoo!!!

When it’s time for me to go back to work last April, I started to build stash of my breast milk gusto ko kasi kahit na pumapasok na ulit ako, BF parin si baby. My very supportive husband bought me electric pump in Amazon, so aside from my shoulder bag, meron pa kong dalang 1 pang bag for my breast milk and another one for my baon.

If you decided to breastfed your baby 100%, you need to sacrifice something and I am ready for that because I am a mother. Lahat gagawin mo para sa anak mo, kahit mahirap, kahit masakit titiisin mo kasi nanay ka. But recently, I realized that I want to do something, yun bang nagagawa ko before. So here are the things that I want to do again and hopefully pag nag formula milk na si Rhian (target ko by 2 years old), magagawa ko na sya.

5. Running

If you are an avid fan of this blog, alam nyo na mahilig kaming tumakbo ni Ian. Running is one of our hobbies together, but since I breastfed my baby love, di ko na sya magawa sa ngayon because I need to go home early and think of my BM stash, bawal kasi matunaw yun eh para di mapanis plus, mahirap ng tumakbo pag kulang ka tulog and pagod ka, dapat nakapag relax ka and ready yung body mo sa pagtakbo.



4. Go out with Friends

Okay fine, nanay na ko and sabi nila hindi na dapat ako ginagabi sa labas but you know want I need to uonwind at least once a week to remove all the stress I encounter from work. Oh my! Namiss ko lumabas kasama mga friendly friends ko, although nakakalabas naman ako MINSAN, yun e hanggang 8pm lang ako. Alam nyo naman, nanay na. Hihi.



3. Coffee

Oh my! I’m not coffee drinker but I really want to drink coffee again kahit 1 cup per week lang. As much as possible ayaw ko kasi ng too much caffeine lalo na BF si baby and may nagsabi kasi sa akin na makaka affect daw kay baby pag uminom ako ng coffee, so imagine since nabuntis ako until now na mag 1 year old na si Rhian, never pa ulit ako nakainom ng coffee. So if you’re going to ask me pano ko nalalabanan antok ko during office hours (yes! Inaantok ako sa office dahil sa puyat sa pag-aalaga ng bagets) I will just stand up and maglalakad lakad ako sa hallway or makikipag chikahan ako sa officemates ko. Haha.



2. Date Night with Hubby

Before I got pregnant, Ian and I always go out after work. Either we watch movie or dinner date and endless kwentuhan, but now that we have our super maCUTElit na daughter, instead of going out for a date we opted to go home and be with our daughter. I know you will tell me na dapat may quality time kami together but whenever we try to escape just for one day, para bang nadudurog ang puso ko na hindi kasama anak ko. I remember one time, I called my mom and dad to take care of Rhian just one fine Saturday afternoon, manonoood lang kami ng sine sa century mall akalain mo ba naman na in the middle of the movie bigla akong tinawagan ng nanay ko sa cellphone at umiiyak daw ng sobra si Rhian. Waahhh.. So what we did was, we left the movie house and umuwi na kami. Another one, every 24th of the month is our so-called “Monthsary” and my husband make lambing to me and told me na he wants to watch movie and just like mag bf/gf stage ba, and since we both agreed that every weekend is family day, we decided to file a leave from work and mag date lang  kami. Ang alam sa bahay is papasok kami pero hindi nila alam na mag date pala kami. Haha. Hayz. How I wish I can do it again, some quality time with my husband.



1. 8-Hour Straight Sleep

Last and most important thing I want to do now is to SLEEP! I know all of moms out there will agree to me na super precious na makatulog tayo ng 5-6 hours straight. I’m so happy whenever I got to sleep for 3 hours straight, susme once lang ata or twice syang nangyayari sa loob ng 1 week, since I’m a breastfeeding mom, mas in demand ang milk ng baby compare to formula milk kaya nga yung iba FM ang binibigay sa anak nila para mas matagal at mahimbing ang tulog since mas mabigat sya but like what I told you, I want to breastfed my baby as long as meron akong gatas, hopefully until 2 years old. You know what guys, sometimes I want to book cheapest hotel that can accommodate me for about 8 hours, wala akong gagawin kung hindi matulog ng matulog, but again I can’t live without my baby on my side. Di ko matiiis na hindi makita or makasama anak ko. My husband told me na makakabalik naman daw ako sa daily routine ko just like before when Rhian reach 5 years old. Oh my.


I’m not complaining, in fact I love my new role as a mom, it’s PRICELESS. Whenever I saw my daughter’s killer smile hayz. Nawawala talaga pagod ko. I just want to burst it out since I’m jealous that my husband can do all of this! Lalo na nakakainis pa gang himbing ng tulog nya with matching hilik hilik pa, samantala ako pilit na gumigising para makipaglaro or sometimes patulugin si Rhian. Waaahhh.. That’s unfair. Hehe.
