Chocoholics
The Verdict: It really is quite delish! If it wasn't so expensive, I could probably eat two in one sitting.

One Last Post for March
Then there's Charlie, my hubby, who often demands that he be "babied" too, hahaha!
And then there's work, which keeps me busy enough not to be able to update this blog as much as I want to.
And of course, there's my now more active social life... Thursday is the day for coffee with friends after office hours. Or sometimes we just go to the mall and talk while we window shop (or shop period). Or we go on a food trip and try out new restos...
Well, that's life...

Happiness
Charlie came at around 9:30 PM, played a little with Adam before we finally were able to get him to sleep at around 10:30 PM. By 11:00 PM, Charlie and I were already in our apartment and I thought our day was over, without him even saying "Happy Valentine's Day". As we have been doing for quite a while now, we said our prayers together before sleeping and as I was about to lie down he said "Honey, pwede ba pakikuha mo naman ako ng T-shirt?", since I'm used to him wearing just boxers or pajama bottoms when he sleeps I asked "Bakit? Giniginaw ka ba?", which he then answered with a "Yes" and so I said "Gusto mo, patayin ko na lang yung aircon?" but he said "Hindi na, mag-T-shirt n lng ako" and then I remembered that there are a couple of his shirts that I haven't put in his cabinet and are still on top of the ironing board so I got up and took one and gave it to him, but he didn't want that shirt and came up with the flimsiest of reasons: "Gusto ko yung white lang, wag na yang de-color", to which I replied "E di ikaw na kumuha, ang arte mo naman pang-tulog lang namimili pa ng kulay". But he said "Ikaw na lang, please" so I went to the other room where his cabinet was located and upon opening the door I saw a dozen pink and red balloons with "Happy Valentines" written on them and on each ribbon tied to the balloon were small notes like: "Whenever you walk in the room, my heart bursts with pride" or "Everyday, I discover more reasons for me to love you"... etc.
Haay! I love you Mr. Charlie G. Yadao! Happy talaga ang Valentine's day basta were together!
Today, despite all the problems I have recently discovered (which I will not discuss on this post since I want this to be a happy one), we had our flag raising ceremony and our boss talked about love during her message of the week. And then after our "short program" she treated us to a breakfast meal from McDonald's and greeted us a belated Happy Valentine's Day.
Just a couple of minutes ago, a long lost friend and classmate from high school got in touch with me and invited me to join a reunion. I miss my high school friends and although I am not sure whether I'll be going to the reunion or not, I made a promise that we will get together really soon to catch up on all the kwento and goings on with our lives... There's going to be some major catching up!

Cheese Popcorn
Today, right after I got off from work, I went straight to the nearest mall... Quickly bought groceries for the following week and then bought this:
A bucket of cheese popcorn from popperoo!
Hubby and I made tonight a movie night and watched the DVD of Stephen King's "The Shawshank Redemption". I know it's an old film already but hubby has yet to watch it and since an officemate of mine lent it to me for the weekend, we decided to make a movie night of it. Of course by the end of the movie our hands were orangy yellow from the cheese flavoring of the popcorn and it was already time for an uber late dinner but it was fun. It's been a while since Charlie and I went out to watch a movie but this is better. We get to kick off our shoes and put our feet up and cuddle while watching the movie. We must do this again soon!

Time Well Spent

What's Up?
Valentine's Day was celebrated with a romantic, at home dinner with hubby... nothing fancy, I just cooked chicken and chips, because he liked it so much when I cooked it for new year. Besides, It wasn't really a day to celebrate, I was not able to go to work because I was suffering from dysmennorhea plus I had a slight fever. Charlie gave me this:

(picture taken with my cellphone since my digital camera was borrowed by my sister)
And then after dinner we watched Amazing Race Asia together spent the rest of the night talking and reminiscing about our past valentines together...
Friday, Feb. 15, Charlie left for Ilocos to visit his parents over the weekend. Still, I wasn't able to go to work because I had to do last minute errands for Charlie before he left that night.
The weekend was spent at home doing chores while I was kept company by my youngest sister, Mae, my 6 year old cousin, Nene and my Dad.
Yesterday, Charlie came home with lots of pasalubong from cousins, Aunts and Uncles in Ilocos... We feasted on Bagnet and fresh vegetables which were gifts of our Ninong based there... and while watching TV, we munched on chichacorn which Charlie bought in Vigan.

Busy Bee
As for the "why, the long absence?" this is what has been going on:
Last week, Charlie got sick, maybe he got infected with the virus that infected me a couple of weeks back... anyways, he went on sick leave for two days and although I was still going to work during the days that he was at home and sick, I, of course didn't have time to go online because the free time that I get, I use to check up on hubby who was suffering from continuous high fever and severe headache as well as a runny nose. After a lot of TLC, he was able to go back to work after a couple of days. But the crazy week has only started for me... first I had to transfer more than a couple of thousand files from the old filing cabinets that they were housed to the new tambor cabinets that were delivered to my office... whew! talk about a lot of work! Plus I had to check that each file/folder contains the necessary papers... As in! Major work load! Good thing I am just in the last few drawers and this task would be over soon...

Gift for Hubby

Paliwanag, and all that!
First, I couldn't go online at home anymore because I have discarded my antique PC and have yet to purchase a new one, second our internet connection at the office has been non-existent since "Milenyo" (but obviously is now restored since I am able to write this post today, hehehe!) and then even if there was a connection here I wouldn't have been able to write one because I was on sick leave for 10 days! I got the worse luck last month, whew! Buti na lang November na, baka my luck has changed already. Anyway, here's bits and pieces of kwento on the past happenings....
Melfender meets Melfender
My favorite cousin Mel-mel visited me a weeks ago and we spent the afternoon together. She kept on making kwento in her slightly "bulol" way and I kept laughing at her mixed up stories. I took the picture above... I kept saying Wow! Magkamukha kayo ng deco-doll namin! So I named the doll "Fendi" (one of our pet names for Melfender)
Fun
One time, Charlie picked me up from work and when we saw what the other was wearing we laughed out loud... we were wearing the same color shirts! Hehehe, it was totally by accident because he wasn't wearing that shirt when he went to work but had to change because he spilled something on what he was wearing and the only shirt he had left in his locker was the same color as what I wore to work that day.... we took several pictures to commemmorate the event, hehehe! Babaw namin no?
Holloween
My sisters spent several days with me during their semestral break from school and we ended our fun "vacation" time by fooling around during holloween. (picture to follow since I have to get home already and have not yet uploaded the pics)

Mid-week Update
Parlor Day
To take my mind off the the procedure that I was about to go through, I went to the Salon with my sisters... They had their hair cut and hair spa, while I had a foot spa and pedicure. Major sister bonding kasi afterwards, we ate at McDonald's and then super kwentuhan pa.
Hysterosalpingography
Hey, it's quite a mouthful to say that word but it's even harder to experience the procedure. First of all, boy was it painful! Grabe! You don't even know how to react pag nandun na... But I don't want to recall the sordid details of the procedure itself but the good result... My fallopian tubes aren't blocked so by Sunday this week, my doctor would be giving me new medications for to help us conceive. Yey!
Mall of Asia
Ok, so I was in pain and all but that didn't stop me from visiting this much talked about humongous mall. I didn't have the fortitude to make the rounds of the whole establishment but from what I saw, I would definitely come back for more, hehehe! Shopping galore for sure! I will have to choose a time when certain parts of my body aren't aching from a very recent procedure!
Could I be more in-love?
Yesterday, I stayed home all day and only got up from Bed for trips to the toilet... I still had aftershocks from the procedure... Actually major cramps... maybe because I didn't have medications anymore for the pain? Anyway, I felt crummy all day and when Charlie got home from work, he found me in bed, un-bathed, hair all messed up and the last time I brushed my teeth was that morning pa! yuck! Anyway, he was about to kiss me the usual "honey, i'm home" kiss but I refused, saying that I felt yucky, nakakahiya magpa-kiss (hehehe!) but charlie stood up and then out of the blue sang:
BEAUTIFUL IN MY EYES (Joshua Kadison)
You’re my piece of mind, in this crazy world You’re every thing I've tried to find Your love is a pearl You’re my Mona Lisa You’re my rainbow skies And my only prayer is that you realize You'll always be beautiful in my eyes...
The world will turn And the seasons will change And all the lessons we will learn Will be beautiful and strange We'll have our fell of tears Our share of sight My only prayer is that you realize You'll always be beautiful in my eyes...
You will always be beautiful in my eyes And the passing is the show That you will always grow Ever more beautiful in my eyes
And there are lines upon my face From a life time of smiles When the time comes to embrace For one long last wine We can laugh about how time really flies We won’t say goodbye ‘Cause true love never dies You'll always be beautiful in my eyes...
You will always be beautiful in my eyes And the passing is the show That you will always grow Ever more beautiful in my eyes
The passing is the show That you will always grow Ever more beautiful in my eyes...
...melted my heart right then and there...
(there were supposed to be pictures with this post but it seems something is wrong with I don't know what... natatapos mag-upload and I click the "done" button pero walang picture na lumalabas! well, I guess I would have to wait a different day to do that!)

Feeling Lucky

Lately, I realize that I am truly lucky to have been able to find someone like him... I may not always appreciate the things that he does for me, I may even get irritated with his shortcomings sometimes but it all boils down to one thing... and that is HE LOVES ME! and I in return love him too... with everything that I have experienced lately, all the lab tests and whatnot, I want him to know that I may not be the most demonstrative person but my love for him increases everyday. As we both discover little (or big) things about each other, I will continue to appreciate him for what he is and most especially for his patience with me and his understanding of a novice wife.
Having said that... here goes another kwento:
Yesterday, I had another appointment with my OB. Charlie, my ever-loving husband went with me (the Doctor only asked me to bring my hubby's CBC and urinalysis but not necessarily bring the hubby also, but Charlie insisted that he come with me). Feeling elated that Charlie wanted to come, I cooked his favorite breakfast: Fried rice, danggit and sunny-side ups.
and so after the hearty breakfast, we finished several chores at the house first before walking to the hospital (yes, we are fortunate enough to get a house within walking distance from a hospital, a church and a wet market). When we got there, Charlie was the only man there but if he felt uncomfortable he didn't show any indications that he was. During the consultation with the doctor, he was super-interested with what the Doctor was saying, he even asked a couple of questions and answered the Doctor's queries without qualms. He even offered to have a semen analysis but the Doctor said that she wants to concentrate first on the well-being of my reproductive organ since most likely, my hormones are still adjusting to the stoppage of my steroid intake (due to Asthma). Besides, my menstrual cycle has always been out of whack, so... Anyways, this morning I had another set of Blood chem (FBS, GOLDT2, Prolactin, T3, T4 & TSH) and tomorrow morning I have to undergo Transvaginal Ultrasound. Good thing, I was able to come to work today kasi tomorrow, medyo malabo kasi I don't know what time matapos yung ultrasound sa UST plus slightly malayo na from work yun kaya baka di na lang ako pasok. Haaaay! Sana everything turns out ok...
