First Wedding Anniversary and counting...

Seems like just yesterday when we got married. And just a week ago my husband and I celebrated our first wedding anniversary. A lunch in a Filipino restaurant and a stay in hotel in the city for a night was how we celebrated it. A year had passed and I could say we are a happy married couple. Never ever we had an arguement. Even when we were not married, which I think is a blessing. I can say I am so blessed to have married the most wonderful man on earth. He has such a good heart and a he is such a good father to our little bubba.

I could not ask for anything more. As what I always tell my husband. Everyday is a blessing. I always see to it that my husband and baby is happy. And now I am looking forward to many years of happy life with my men.

What is that creature?

I have been putting my washing out when I heard a rustle in the bush just behind our garden wall. When I looked I saw this creature that I haven't seen before. I immediately called my mother-in-law so she could see it as well. She said it was a blue-tongue lizard. It was such a huge relief ehehehe talawan jud no? Anyway, glad it was a harmless creature, but it still frigthened me, thought it was a snake. My mother-in-law said it is good for the garden because it eats the snails, bugs and other insects.

Justin's Christening

Our little Justin is now part of the Christian community. We are so glad it's all done now, as we believe it is an integral part of us parents, introducing him to the church. It was just a simple celebration attended by family and friends, who have been there with us all the way from the start of my pregnancy until the day I gave birth to our precious one.

We had the reception at home. And as usual, it is my mother-in-law who did most of the cooking. I only prepared the dessert ( mango float ) which was a big hit, for there was almost none left when I went to get some.

It was such a lovely day that we were able to sit in the veranda and enjoyed looking out the garden. And I have to say this, Justin was such a good boy that he slept when we got home, which gave me the chance to entertain our guests.

I hope he will grow up to be a God-fearing person. We promise to do our best in teaching him the faith in our Saviour Jesus Christ.

Trick or Treat?

It is Halloween time again. But this time we participated. Giving chocolates to kids who went to visit us.

Our baby wore a costume and sat in his bouncer beside a gruesome decoration which my husband did, and was a sure hit to everybody who came to our place.

I must admit I had fun for it was the first time I ever participated. Though it wasn't a big thing here in Australia but all of the kids wore nice costumes.

I think it is best to share some of the photos to you and let's see if you have anything to say.

Cute Smiles

I wanna share with you some photos of our dear son. He's got such a wonderful smile that melts our hearts.

Cool Stuff

It's been a long time since I have driven a motorcycle. The bike was just a small one so I wasn't that scared to do it. I was with my dad when I gave it a go and bingo we had an accident. We weren't hurt that bad and dad thought I wouldn't want to drive again. But, I insisted on driving again and luckily we reached to our destination without meeting an accident again.

The bad thing about it was, we only had one helmet and so my dad was the one who got hurt because I was the one wearing the helmet.

Now thinking about what happened sends shivers through my body. What if something worst happened? I couldn't afford losing any of my family members. They are important to me.

It is fun riding a motorcycle as long as you have the proper protection. My brother and father at home have motorcycles. They love doing things on it, and they always buy stuff to make it looks good. I understand, it's a man's thing.

Now Christmas is just a couple of months away, I think it is a good idea to give them harley accessories. Surely they will be happy to have some. I know they are careful enough when driving and a gift like those will surely bring smiles to their faces.

Wide Awake

It is now 4 in the morning and I am still wide awake for I got hungry after giving my bubba a feed. I know some mothers out there can relate to what I am experiencing now. Anyway, it feels good though when I am feeding my little one. He is such a good boy. Sleeping well at night which gives me and my hubby a good night's sleep. But there are also some other nights where he gets cranky. Babies are like that anyway.

Husband is now at work. He wakes up early for he doesn't want to be stuck up in the traffic especially during school hours. When I said early it means 3:15 in the morning is his waking up time. He finds it nice to have his shower in the morning, so even though I disagreed with him waking up so early, I just let him do it so long as he goes to bed early.

As of now I am talking to Mary Ann. She got home from our house in Davao. She and my sis were busy installing the vonage at home. It was just fortunate that my brother's friend arrived and bingo it was fixed.

Anyway, I'd better go to sleep now guys. I still have to wake up in another 3 hours to give my bubba a feed.

Have a good week everyone!

I'm back with our little Justin now

Hi everyone!it's almost two months now since my last entry here. I had been busy preparing for the arrival of our little one and finally I delivered our little Justin on the 14th of August at 8:12 pm. He weighed 7lbs and 61 cms long. It was via emergency caesarean delivery though for me and our baby had were both tired. Justin's heartbeat dropped due to an eighteen hours of contraction still I was only 1 cm dilated.
I was crying for help, begging the nurses to hurry and give me an epidural because I was really in pain. The decision was made for an emergency cs and it was such a huge relief for me. Through it all, my husband was with me all the time. It made a big difference, having somebody who cares and giving me support and encouragement. And even in the deepest pain, made me laugh.
It was hard for him I know, wanting to help but can only give me massages that only relieved pain for a short time everytime I had a contraction. One of the ways to help relieve the pain was to have a warm bath. I was in the bath with my husband assisting me when we heard terrible screaming coming from another room. We knew it was another woman giving birth, and we just stared at each other thinking "Oh, my God". I even asked my husband if he can find earplugs somewhere eehehehe.. Thankfully, God heard our prayers and I had a caesarean section delivery. It was recommended by my doctor and it was for me and our baby's safety.
Now, we are enjoying life with our precious Justin. He is such a good boy. Though we have sleepless nights but it's all worth it. He is now starting to have chubby cheeks and he's got a nice skin color. Most people say he looks like me but for me it's both me and my husband's features. Anyway, you can judge it yourself.
Here are some of Justin's photos. Enjoy!!!



my husband, my everything

Hi everyone!!!

Giant sandwich

That's what we had for lunch and it was so yummy. I haven't seen a sandwich as big as this before that's why when my mother-in-law made one I took some photos right away. It's made up of tuna, olives, eggs, tomatoes, artichoke, anchovies, lettuce and so much more. So it is a healthy thing to have. Even though it was huge, it only took us 3 days to finish the whole lot ehehehe. It is nice to have for lunch.
