advance screening

Adrian and I were again invited to another advance screening at Glorrietta 4. Our friend Eric, had extra tickets for the movie Pink Panther (starred by Steve Martin as Inspector Clouseau). This is the second advance screening that we had a pleasure of attending which was sponsored by Star Movies and Eric’s employer. [The first one was GOAL!-which was an equally good movie]. And aside from a free movie, you get free popcorn [Taters, my fave] and iced teas... what more can you ask for?!

The movie was hilarious... And as much as I want to laugh so hard I just can’t because my tummy hurts if I do. There’s never a dull moment in the movie especially if the scenes included Steve Martin. It’s a definite hit! And that French accent just gets to you … we were even imitating Clouseau’s accent when we left the cinema. A great, funny and relaxing family, barkada or date movie this Valentine’s day.

new look for the new year

I've been yearning to post for months now but its just now that I really said to myself that I have to do this... for the sake of my friends who missed me in this side of the world.

So for my new entry for the year, I've prepared a little something new... a new template! I'd like to thank francey.org for this nice blog template. I actually spent the whole afternoon today just incorporating the side bar links to my new template from the old one. I also added some new ones too... like the baby-ticker, which shows you how many weeks I am in my pregnancy.

Speaking of pregnancy... my baby is starting to move. Movements, which I can feel every so often. Friends and colleagues have been unconsciously touching my very visible tummy and asking if I know the gender already. Unfortunately, we still don't know. I hope in my next doctor's appointment (on the 25th) we can take another ultrasound so we can already know our baby's gender. My mother-in-law (who is in the US) never forgets to ask if we already know the gender of her 4th grandchild every time he calls my husband. She wants to buy stuff for the baby already because it takes a month for a package to be delivered. In the meantime, she'll send me maternity clothes instead :) ...which I need so badly. Thanks Mama Ems!

early valentine's gift

I got an early valentines gift from Adrian last February 3. Together with Varian and his girlfriend, Jan, we went to watch the concert of M.Y.M.P. at the Araneta Coliseum. Since we are in the free seating section (Upper Box A) we have to be there early so I left the office earlier than usual and met Adrian at MRT station. We are already in our seats by 7:30 pm but the concert started after 9 p.m. But as soon as the concert started, I already lost track of time. Jan and I were pretty much entertained by Juris' (outrageously weird) outfits that night. But wait... don't get us wrong, we enjoyed their great performance (they did a medley of Madonna and Alanis Morissette, which Juris was very good at it) and the surprise guests (which includes Lougee of Mojofly, Barbie Almalbis, Ney of 6 Cycle Mind and Ebe of Sugarfree). And to top it all, for the finale, Juris sang my favorite .... Bonnie Bailey's ever after. If I wasn't pregnant, I'd be dancing like crazy.

Thanks 'Be for a great night at the concert!

Miracle Called "Life"

Be Lated Merry Christmas to All!

I know.. I know.. you missed me :) I apologize for being so lazy. My first trimester was not such a bed of roses after all. Morning sickness, laziness, sleepiness, heartburn (and many more) are no laughing matter. I hope you'll all understand (even though you can really never understand until you've been here and done this).

Anyway, I'm in the latter part of my first trimester. 2 weeks ago, I had my ultrasound and I saw the most beautiful baby in the world. I saw my baby gave me a high five or was it a wave? Adrian saw the baby stretch his arms. I had tears in my eyes the first time I saw him or her. The gender cannot be identified yet. They said that it will be visible in my 7th month. I also heard my baby's heartbeat (160 beats/minute). Its such a great feeling... witnessing the very beginning of a miracle called "life".
