And we are 12 weeks pregnant! Based on my calendar, the TVS and Dra im positive that we are on 3rd month already.
Although the percentage of miscarriage drops significantly on the 14th week pa so tiis muna until matapos ang December para talagang stress free na ako kakaisip.
Anyway I am confident that we can deliver in God's grace.
So today I'm going to share some signs and symptoms of my own pregnancy journey.
It depends from mom to mom, we might not have similar pregnancy experience but I just want to share and document mine for future references.
Here are the list of unusual signs of my own pregnancy:
1.) First few weeks - itchy face without bumps, hives or dryness. Just reddish and itchy like it's coming from the inside or from blood.
2.) Back pain - especially when standing up for too long or walking.
3.) Looking fatigued - even if I just started the day and had a good and long rest I look and feel tired!
4.) I feel little pokes in my abdomen.
5.) Spotting twice ( because of hemorrhage) but it's safe and all gone now.
6.) I fell a sleep almost every time I get a chance to lie down or even by just sitting down. I almost always drop my phone when I'm dozing off in bed. Infact as of this writing I'm yawning my heart out. I want to sleep :(
7.) I AM ALWAYS HUNGRY (especially salty food)
8.) I am very much susceptible to raw meat bacteria, I had allergies from a burger in "Shake Shack" which was suspected of Rubella so I got tested twice for Rubella and rubeola viruses and God Bless it's negative.
9.) My breasts are now swollen and even in shape and weight, and areolas have become dark.
10.) I have shortness of breath from time to time even on my first month.
11.) I pee a lot.
12.)I had heart burn once, during my first week.
13.) My hair looks shiny, and my face looks whiter or paler and clearer even If im not using soap or facial
14.) I'm light headed and then mad inconsistently. Im moody :)
15.) My bump and back is getting a little bit itchy
16.) Im constipated and I have loose stool at same time.
17.) Im a little bit emotional, I cry from time to time for small things :)
18.) I make my husband fat, he eats with me haha
19.) Sometimes I feel dizzy
20.) I dont like the smell of frying or the restaurant in malls, I feel dizzy.
21.) I suka twice only, as of this writing.
22.) My taste buds not in good shape when im not eating, so i always bring with me fruits or candies.
That's it for now, I'll update the list if I remember something I missed.
tata!

What Universe is Telling Us
I was just about to cry again because of this article https://www.babylist.com/hello-baby/10-weeks-pregnant
Yes, we are 10 weeks pregnant! Not that I read the article yet but by just looking at it made me remember the day we visit Boracay.
I used to bring dolls for photography, eveywhere I go. To coffee shops, to airports, to other countries just for fun! When my hubby got back from overseas, we went to places and rarely did I brought a doll along. Sayang nga but, I know it's worthit because I'm really busy on our trips and ofcourse with hubby. So we went to HK I didnt bring any of my dolls.
When we went to Boracay, I brought my polly pocket so it's easy to bring anywhere we go especially it wont take too much space in my bag. So we took pictures of it, near the beach. Me using my cellphone, my hubby using his camera.
Hubby taking photo of Polly.

This happened last August - September 2019.
Fast forward now, Im 10 weeks pregnant. Did you know the article I mentioned had this front page?
Is just me or is it really a premonition?
We were taking pictures of our baby! Well figuratively speaking...
But it co-relates to what happens in the future. The universe is telling us a lot of story and we just really need to pay attention to details, be mindful of things and people around us. Especially the people we love.
So thats what made me cry, way back months ago there was a sign that we will receive a very special gift. It was unravelling before my eyes and I had no idea what it meant!

We are Pregnant
It's been weeks I dont get my period.
My OB told me to call her ASAP if I still dont get my period until Oct 15, 2019.
But before I contact her, I used PT na!
I bought PT yesterday at Watsons. Then this morning I tested my wiwi aroung 3am.
I read that I had to wait for another 1mins if the second line dint show up in first 3 mins.
But to my surprise the moment I dropped the wiwi it automatically turned violet, I mean the C. So two lines agad, so evident haha!
Ginising ko agad ang tatay nya, edi tuwa naman tatay nya.
Hindi na kami natulog after nun. Nag luto na si Jose ng agahan chaka ng baon ko :)
Sabi nga nya na shock daw ako kse natutulala ako hehehe.
Pero all along alam na daw nya na Im preggy because of the signs Im showing.
Ako naman, I knew there is something foreign kse iba ang feeling ko for the last few weeks. Na confirm lng nung nag PT ako. I had backpains, balakang pains, also thers something na pumipitik sa left ro right part ng puson. Then cguro implantation yun, bigla nangati buong muka ko prng may foreignt lga na nag attack sa immune ko. I know there is soemthing. Nraramdaman mo nlgn sya may iba talaga :) Then before the PT nag iingat na tlga kaso lumusot pako sa kape at coke wahahah.
Going back kanina morning, I send message to mama and Faye and Mai. Nagising sila nung madaling araw, si Faye nanginignig pa hahaha! We are all happy.
Then si Dra. (Thanks Doc :)
Ayun, I want to go to church after work. Dto kay padre Pio.
I want to sincerely and whole heartedly thank the Lord for entrusting me this precious little bowl of sunshine.
Hindi pa din tlga nag si-sink in. I cant believe it :)
I thought it will be hard for me to bear a child kase nga of old age na din :)
Pero it's true talaga, trust his timing. If he wants to give it to you, theres no hindrance basta ibibigay nya yun sa iyo no matter what.
Hello our little bowl of sunshine! I trust the Lord that this will come, as long as we both are ready to receive you mahal.
This is our first family photo :)

Fabreeze
Landers Arcovia is now our place to be, speaking of my mom, sisters and hubby.
They sell varieties of imported goods one of which is "Fabreeze"
Saw an add in US that Fabreeze is a common household name. Its used everywhere in bathrooms, living rooms and much more. I was kind of curious the first time I heard it cause I haven't seen that in our local grocery stores. So you what happens next? The first thing I bought when I got a card was "Fabreeze". Bought a set of three one for me, my mom and sis. Everyone loves the scent.
Now it became more than JUST an odour defuser. It has become the scent of Family vacation.
It was quite some time now that my family get together and travelled away from the city. That day everybody is just as excited as me, and so I feel. We hired a driver of suv and took off the city in mid day, it was Friday around peak hours imagine how we got stuck in the traffic. But it was the traffic well spent to be honest, because Im with my favourite people around the planet.
Everything is going smoothly. When night falls we stopped over Starbucks and Jollibee, both on the same road side. We're so hungry we prayed there's something like it along the way since Frank who actually lives in the city said the place is isolated, no more stores after the hi way or gas station. Guess he's been lagging off their town's developments.
So we bought our favourite artisan coffee perfect for a night cap. Almost all ordered frapuccino, only me an pa ordered hot coffee ( extra hot white chocolcate mocha is my thang aside from iced caramel macchiato). We also ordered meal in Jollibee, twas a road trip to remember.
When we got to the place it was kind of dark, the road is steep as hell but damn when we reached the cabana we were shocked. It was romantic and lovely. Mom was happy about it even if I don't like the steep stairs, she didn't bother - she was happy I knew it. And everything to me made sense.Super
Relax na si Liam.
Super ganda ng place mojo blurred lang dito hehe. It's like hagdang hagdan Palawan, cobblestone stairs. Very probinsya very relaxin, away from our busy life in Manila :)
Ofcourse my sisters are excited as hell they took a lot of photos of the place. One thing I love about it was the tabing dagat. Although it was kind of rocky with slugs we managed. We actually took a photo of our feet , me , Mai, Faye and our little boy Liam. We braved the darkness, as you know we are the horror girls who loves all things gory and horror haha! So bottom line we are not afraid of the dark.
When we went back to our villa, we fixed our baon and call it a day. It was kind of relaxing, homey night because it was the first time we brought Fabreeze and sprayed it all over the room.
So there, Fabreeze has made its way as a scent to remember.

We Are Home
A lot has happened last month of August and this month of September.
Last July 28 my fiance arrived from the airport. In the morning I went to pick him up, hours before his arrival. I had breakfast at Jollibee it was located at NAIA terminal 1. Standing ovation as I savor the pattie overflowed with gravy, yum!
The weather is gloomy, it drizzle every now and then. I was feeling dizzy because I was not able to sleep well that night having the thought of my love working far away for 3 years is now coming back home. Anyway it did not took that long to see him right away, he was wearing Lacoste polo with lines colored white, red and navy blue on neckline. He had his long hair in a bun which I always remind him to cut off as he always he promised to get a haircut in Manila.
When I saw him running down the ramp on the right, I walked inside the arrival area to meet him. He called using someone else's phone letting me know that he's arrived - but I saw him first.
I was curious how he reacts so I did not throw my arms around him like the usual telenovela scenes instead I asked "Oh ano kamusta kana?" he answered "tara hanap tayo smoking area". Sounds like my same old Jose back in 2015 - I know he's home, I'm home.
We celebrated at dinner with families at Chrisostomo that same day and had a good night sleep afterward.
Fast forward August 6, the big day for us. We were planning this trip for too long but doesnt have the energy to push thru. Our trip to food and shop city - Hongkong! Stay tuned!

Hello, I'm back!
It's been awhile since I wrote a blog. A lot has been happening in my life and it literally turned my world to 360.
Not sure where to begin, okay so here's the timeline just to give brief highlights:
- September 2018: I was offered a project in Toshiba, which I was supposed to be deployed in Tokyo Japan.
- October 2018: Contemplating my life I guess.
- November 2018 : I left my Brentwood condo and moved to new Condo, this time Im not renting - it's mine :)
: received my 10 yrs visa in Japan. Which Im really happy about.
- December 2018: Spent Christmas in momas house, attended Simbang gabi and Im sick that time.
- January 2019: I spent the Newyear's eve alone. Eating pancit malabon and wine perhaps.
- February 2019: I lost my job at DXC, I received WFR and didnt get a chance to work in Japan. But got lucky because thinking about it, I had the money to spend on my new place and spare for savings and travel and ofcourse happenings with family.
-March 2019: Spent my birthday, jobless but millionaire haha! Well I still apply just so Im able to pay the bills.
-April 2019 : Got the job at FXDMS.
-May 2019 : Working, paying bills and having fun designing home.
: Beach vacation with family. Now that's fun.
- June 2019 : Mai's graduation. This is it for my sister. Was there in UST when she graduated, me and my mom supported her throughout and when the ceremony ended, she left us with a friend. But meh, it's her day let her decide what she wants - but for us (mom) we are glad for this is our milestone.
- July 2019 : Well we get to have pizza fridays at landers arcovia or at eastwoods yellowcab. This time we had Pizza Friday and went discount shopping at Landers. Had a lot of fun. I do remember the first time we tried Popeyes in Arcovia, the line is crazy long. Got lucky my parents have senior card.
And inbetween I got lost in collecting dolls. Vintage mostly, rare ones and are pre-loved. They are expensive though but that's fine. It's my hobby. Im glad my fiance is supportive when it comes to toy collecting. But thats just because he's also a toy collector haha! I hope he can come with me in toycon this year. Really wanting him to go home so we can go abroad and play somewhere fancy and nice.
So Im going to post some of my vintage dolls here. Some rare and hard to find ones. And some are just what I really like regardless of it's value in the market.
PS
Im at work, doing nothing after running the powershell script. I havent barely touched the cleanup sp2013 docs and pre-installation checklist for sp2016!!! AYAW KO NA MAG WORK HAHA
Love,
Fan
