stretchy attempt

remembered this one while clearing items from my desktop.hahaaaha a product of my fascination with basic after effects 3 months ago.

first summer together

this summer, me and dear cousin byettsie were both only able to go out twice, once in oslob and once in that pool resort in the north that is not worth mentioning. this would be due to our limited resources unlike dear sissie yobah whose weekends were always booked with getaways. our schedules were full for certain responsibilities and our pockets unable to fill-up for the needed expenditures.hahaaay.
enough of this blabber, what i want to talk about is how happy i am with the thought that my baby is unafraid of dipping into such bodies of water (beach&pool). during our trip last march in the south, she didn't even cry when we started going into the water neither did she when we were just at the shore where there were strong splashes of water. she even loved the wind blowing on her face. hahaha we were only forced to bring her back to the room when we realized she was already sound asleep while we were in the water. hahaaha okay. hooray for Amadei for she doesn't have a problem with the beach.

sleepy...splashes of water too relaxing for the boinky

and now, before the summer ends, we just had to go out and dip into some good ol water and sunshine. though it was a bit gloomy on our way to the not-so-far north, the entire time we were in the poolplace was kinda sunny. at our first attempt to swim, Amadei was crying her heart out only to realize that she was already hungry..haha bad mother. sorreyy, was tooo excited for her to get into the water. after she got her milk and short nap, we went back to the water and there she was, loving the water, kicking her legs, smiling.

boinky: [thumbs-up] we shall do this again mommi! :)

looking forward to more beach outings with the little one. please don't be like mommi who doesn't know how to swim. haha boo me.

a week from now, my little one will be nearing her half a year's existence outside me tummy. wowoww! thank you lord for making me strong and patient and for everything else that has made me a better person[i think! walai mulalis!haha] because of the boinkyling.

after months of adjusting my bodyclock the sleepless nights aren't that bad anymore, and the little one has also been doing her part by being able to sleepback on her own when we do milk time in the middle of the night. her change in sleeping patterns have also been helpful for she sleeps in longer hours, so i get  extra time to bawi, hooray for amadei! and yes, my eternal eyebags for it would always be there whether i get enough sleep or not(darker circles), so amadei really has nothing to do with it, okay, i have embraced my panda eyes for a long time already.hahaha

making the six-month update now? yes, i will be writing this now while my hands are in the mood to turn on the computer and type the words from my thoughts.

 thumbsucking[also loves to eat my arm and my shirt], loves the outdoors, will love swimming, attempting to crawl and sit, starting to eat her cereal and pureed meals, eyes following my actions when we eat, making sounds, trying to speak, saying mamama and some syllables, finally trying to reach for the hanging owls mobile, looking curiously around her, pushing her legs so that she could stand[of course with someone holding her], reaches for her toes and sometimes wanting to put it in her mouth, getting cranky when i change her clothes, still loves the camera, trying out formula, feet that are bigger the size of her shoe-socks, a dozen of out-grown shirts/onesies, drinking water, easier bath times, good smelling and kissable everywhere and more lovable than ever.

all of that is why i am boinkybusy, i can go all day locked in our room with the little one. only boinky gets tired being stuck in our room all day.hehee

thankyou for making mee mornings always smiley boinky. seeing your face first thing when i wake up will always be the perfect way to start the day. i love you.

boinky-two!

that boinky eyes and cheeks!

a week from now, little amadei will be turning 2months. oooh that kid with pudgy arms and legs that mommy so love to kiss. please be a good girl na boinky and help give mommy enough sleep this time. hahaha

HAPPY BIRTHDAY AMADEI IMMANUELE

i was told that it will arrive sometime on the 22nd of December. noticing women i know who also gave birth before me in 2011, i was expecting mine to be earlier than the expected date. and whaddya know.. indeed it was.
nov.30  
since our house was under 'repair' for the past 2 annoying months i accepted my cousin's invitation to stay at her home until i gave birth. upon arrival, her youngest son greeted me with, "yey! december na ugma mugawas na c taublee!", while kissing my bump. i just laughed and told him that it is too soon for the baby to arrive. deep inside i also was not ready yet to experience labor or the whole birthing thing.haaa.

dec.1
oh hello, vertigo. feeling dizzy the entire morning. and ooh. i'm a year older. had a simple celebration at my cousin's with cousins. haaha. got to love'em cousins!!! still stayed at my cousin's.

dec 2
will be meeting with gayle ang lailalai..betchai absent again.hmph. supposedly going for my scheduled chek-up with my OB, but doctor unavailable. after first friday mass, had dinner with the ladies. gayle had socks for amadei.sooo cute! went home in banawa after dessert.

dec.3
schedule for check-up moved today. doctor told me to return next thursday for IE. okay. doctor told me it is possible i will be giving birth anytime.okay.

dec.4
didn't sleepwell at night. since i kept on waking up, i decided to pack my ready-for-the-hospital bag

dec.8
could be my last check-up before giving birth. when my OB was done with the examination i was told that ill be having labor later that day, and that i am so ready to give birth. i forgot what exactly was my reaction but i told the doctor isn't it too soon? i haven't been feeling any pains yet. called towpee for the bigbigbig news, went to church(immaculate conception day), had dinner at jollibee, went home, prepared my stuff, and when the pain i had been feeling since we were at mass was already unbearable, told my motherdearest that we have to go to the hospital.
and so i somehow had the longest night...was it. or was one of it.

checked in the hospital around 11pm.
was not even able to call ditsi na that i was already in the labor room..mother dearest did that for me na.

and yes i will say it again..this was a very long night. the contractions were as painful as my monthly dysmenorreah only multiply it by 100x or more.haha overr. but yes indeed it was crazy painful.
when will this end... huhuh

let's skip the agonizing contracions part.
or maybe because im becoming too lazy to type.hahaaa

dec.9
5:15am
finally! tadaaah! after countless pushes which i though were not helping at all, but woah they did, it was effective, i did my part very well, my little one finally came out! haahaaha
woah the hair!, i thought to myself.
"oh my god" were the words that came out from the kilig ol'me.
was that the thing that was growing inside me belly? hahaha too happy.:) then they wiped and took out the excess fluids from little boinky's nose and mouth and handed her to me chest.

wow! i am officially now a mother!

when i held the little one i saw the eyes that were not so me, but the lips and chin were that of my side. then after holding her maybe for a minute, i'm not really sure, they took her back to clean her more and put her on some clean clothes which thankfully  i was able to bring. sorry i forgot the receiving blanket, unpreparedness usually occurs to me, no wonder i usually have problems with my flights.hahaa anyhooo. skipskipskip the other painful part despite having anesthesia.hahaha

and so finally i was placed in nanay clothes, and was ready to be brought to my room. the nurse placed the little one on me chest again, shared to me about breastfeeding.

IT'S DONE! OUT FROM THE DELIVERY ROOM, MOTHER DEAREST WAS THERE WAITING FOR US THE ENTIRE NIGHT, NOW BEAMING WITH EXCITEMENT FOR HER NEW APO. :)

I.LOVE.YOU

THANK YOU LORD FOR THE SAFE, NORMAL DELIVERY, THANK YOU FOR THIS SPECIAL BOINKY. DEFINITELY THE GREATEST GIFT, THAT IS AMADEI IMMANUELE! :)

amadei room

in two days it will be december already which means the days get nearer and nearer for the arrival of this little thing inside meee tummy. weeeeh. here you are just a few weeks or what we will be seeing you.hahaaa ookay. since the entire house is such a mess, we made sure that you'd still have your own space where you'll be undisturbed from all the craziness beyond your door.haha.  and a part for the preparation for your arrival  little one here's our little gift. your daddy thought of having your room painted, and duh i couldn't agree more. finished it in two days last week.heeee. see you in december amadei!!! and i hope you'll love the owls. haha :)

october and counting

ooohctooober! and no it does not mean octoberfest, i'm not interested with alcohol these past months.nyahaha  anyway, yess it's october and in two weeks i won't have to wake up to my alarm and i would then be able to extend my sleeping time at least thirty minutes more.haaha yes my body clock gets up at 7:30 and it's already amazing for me to be awake at 9:30am or 10am, also for the reason that I'm such a light sleeper. yes it's a gift. hahahaa finals week will be next week, but that doesn't mean all requirements will be passed just next week. we just had our finals for our techniques class with a surprising "THIS WILL SERVE AS YOUR FINALS" whaaaaat?!!?!!?! anyway, same-same, i have no idea how to prepare for that class anyway..i just hope that charcoal drawing would give meeeself justice.hahaa and now, we are to prepare for a class exhibit that would open this friday.. my, my the very first exhibit that i'd be joining. hahaha still i hope the work i did won't suck. sneakpeek!!!hahaah 

anyway, i'd have to work on 2 exams for next week and an "ukay-art" that we were supposed to wear during exams day in art history.bahahah okayokay. and now i still don't know what to work on..any suggestions?

aaaah. i hope ill be able to visit the beach soon. sooner because i might not be allowed to travel far anymore.bleebleeblee. at least a nice view before my baby comes out. oooh amadei immanuele will be turning 7months in my tummy next week. :) hoping for a good feedback from my doctor by then. :)

it's a bird! it's a plane!

 IT'S A GIIIIRL!!!! :)

full blog entry to follow.hehehe. but for the meantime ill just share this scanned image of the ultrasound. and my what a "lihok" baby she is! hahahahaa. it's so great to finally see what's the little one doing inside making me feel those bumps and kicks. thank God the baby's on it's proper position. still have to think of the name though... :) also a december baby!

RIP iggy

drawn 7/31/2011..while waiting for ditsii

i gave him the name piggy when he arrived years back..i am not sure if i was still in highschool or was it early years in college. he was sooo cute and was fluffy that i could not think of any name but call just PIGGY. and since everyone was too lazy to call him so, eventually people ended up calling him iggy. maybe it really takes some effort for them to mention the P.heehe.
this morning my mom announced to me with a distressing tone in her voice that we lost Iggy. i thought she was referring to finding him dead at or front porch not moving because throughout the entire weekend he was unusually weak and tired...sooo unlikely because for over a week previously he was soooo 'active' with  that other dog at home whom i barely care. and i just thought he had enough activity for that week, maybe he needed to relax. he was lying behind the door throughout the weekend. was it a sign? tsktsk.
iggy actually died coz he got hit by a motorcycle according to the witnesses. at least according to my mom, iggy did not look as if he was run over by a vehicle or what. there was just blood on his mouth and that's it. i really was not able to see him anymore because by the time the news got to me, Iggy was ready for 'burial'.
Hearing the news i immediately called yobah[what i call my sister] about the news and not crying was not an option. hehe, i was wailing the entire time we talked and she told me she'd call back on our land line.
it's a pretty sad morning. i know i had been not so kind to iggy except during his puppy years..but i truly adore his fat neck..soo furry his collar seems to be too tight for him even if it's not, and many other little things. i will miss his "excited" look sometimes when he's sitting on our front porch with his tail waving left and right on the floor, as if he is wiping it. i'm sad coz i refused to bring him his food last night, i'm sad coz i was sooo mad at him last sunday for being sooo stubborn. i'm sorry gigoooy. :( i hope you will be well there in dog heaven. :) iloveyou.sniffsniff.

MURAKAMI EXCITED

when i saw a poster of this film in tumblr i rushed right away to check in youtube for the trailer! and waddya know there was a film made based on my most loved author, haruki murakami!! huwaaaaaw. got to watch the adaptation and see if they will be able to capture the murakami spirit into the film. i still need to get a copy of the book though.haahaha.. but really i'm so curious and thrilled to see a murakami masterpiece in film.

my unfluffy neighbor TOTORO

hayao miyazaki's animation has been enchanting me since i saw spirited away two years ago. his way of telling stories has always been so candid and there's always something about the characters in his animated films that captures my...i don't know how to explain it, basta im not so good with words, and if ever you've seen a miyazaki film and loved ityou'd probably kknow what i mean.haahaha since i got back in cebu and has all the free time to do movie marathons as i can, i downloaded most of miyazaki's films and planned to watching them all. too bad torrent's not really complete. anyway, i had this copy of my neighbor totoro since last year in my lappy and i just have to watch it again same as my other favorite, howl's moving castle.  being that he is with his two smaller copies, TOTORO is just sooooo KYOOOT!hahahaha i dunno, it just so happened that i already have several posts of totoro in my tumblr. and recently, i have been searching for totoro baby stuff over the internet and hoping i could get one...for free.hahahahaa
anyweeez.. since i'm only having 3 classes a week and has plenty of free time to play with wet paper and put them all together, after the very long weekend, aside from completing budi's belated birthday gift, i'm finally done with this!!!!

totoro with the gang

 my very own totoro 'action figure'.haahahaha i just like to call it though..it doesn't really do any action. it just sits and stares which makes it all sooo adorable. too bad it's not really as soft as the actual totoro but looking at it is sooo much fun.hahahaha i'm planning to make more..and since i just finished my phineas and ferb season 1 marathon, i'm planning i should make a perry the platypus paper mache as well! the perry with the stupid face of course, he's way more cuterrr with his "doesn't do much"-face.hahahahaa will start tomorrow or maybe tonight..we'll see.
