			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>You will not believe that I gave a talk to pre-teens about First Time last Wednesday afternoon.  That is just one of the reason why I was busy this week.  Since I sincerely believe that they are not ready for this kind of talk yet, I concentrated on other points instead such as choosing your friends wisely, finding an interest or a skill and developing it and I also tackled the importance of getting the right education.</p>
<p>Of course, I started out with what they wanted to know about the topic and they gave me their opinions on the questions that they raised themselves such as the definition of love, how do you know if you are in a relationship, should you tell the guy if you do not like him, and so many others. I started out with that but I gave more weight on how they should develop themselves first before they should look for a relationship.  I told them about colleges and how they should already start on preparing for it. I told them about <a href="http://www.knewton.com/sat">sat prep courses</a> and all the things that they can do to improve their chances of getting into a good college.  There are ways to prepare for it.  Preparation is always the key so if you start preparing now, chances are you will be able to get in.</p>
<p>Anyways, I think I was able to do the topic assigned to me with justice.  I hope that they listened though because if they did they would have learned a lot.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Did you notice I  already got a haircut last Saturday? Yeah, I got one on the eve of CNY. They say it&#8217;s lucky if you get it before CNY.  Although, I wanted to get one for the longest time already.  Good thing my daughter&#8217;s make-up classes were good for 2 hours.  So I had time to get one.  I wanted to get a pedicure too but did not get one because I was not allowed yet.</p>
<p>Based on the picture on my last blog post, I looked like I lost weight. Do not be fooled though.  In person, I look like I am already in my 4th or 5th month.  My tummy is so big. Scrap that&#8230;. I AM so big.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Can I just say that I am definitely looking forward to sleeping late tomorrow?  It feels like I am back to being a student as I have to wake up as early as  my daughter because I have to bring her to school.  I am really regretting transferring her to the early morning class. She was supposed to be in the mid-morning class but we want to train her to wake up early so she will sleep early. I did not realize that it is going to be extra hard for me. You all know how late I sleep. So there are times when I only  get 2 hours of sleep. I think it is all worth it though because I can see the change in my daughter&#8217;s behavior when it comes to school. My daughter seems to be more friendly now. She seems to like her classmates more.  I saw her playing in class and she was really kulit just like how she is at home.  She has 8 classmates who are boys and 5 girl classmates.  My daughter is still the tallest in class.  In fact, she really looks forward to going to school. She does not want to go home sometimes.  During the mid-morning class, you will only see them sitting down and not moving around much.</p>
<p>Anyways, things have gotten better with my daughter&#8217;s yaya back.  So she&#8217;s the one who prepares my daughter to school.  I also bring her along whenever I bring my daughter to school so I do not have to get out of the car anymore.  So I can still wear my airconditioned shirt and nobody will know.  Hahahaaa!</p>
<p>Basta things are looking up for us&#8230;only a few more days left.  Konti nalang! I can do this!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I am loving it! I am loving that I am so busy that I could barely have time for myself. Hahaha! There was a time when I used to complain about being busy and not having enough time. No longer!  I love busy days. Anyways, aside from the tasks that I have (not related to blogging <img src='http://ybabie.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_razz.gif' alt=':P' class='wp-smiley' /> ). I am squeezing everything that I can today so I can be worry free tomorrow for my daughter&#8217;s field trip.  Aside from that, I was so surprised when my daughter&#8217;s head teacher, Gloria, gave me my daughter&#8217;s invitation for her daughter&#8217;s 7th birthday party which will be on Saturday.  Lol! So I have to shop for outfits (ours) and a birthday gift.</p>
<p>Keep em coming! I love busy days!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I took out 10 tops out of my closet to give away. This is very hard for me because I always believed that I will go back to my pre-pregnancy form and since I have given up 10 tops means that I have finally accepted who I am now and how big I have become.  Besides, my cabinet is full to the brim and couldn&#8217;t take any more.</p>
<p>I have so much more to give. Barely worn tops. Hmph.  Although my sister B told me I can always buy more. So while I was taking them out I was repeating to myself what she told me, sort of like a chant.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">Yesterday, I left cheska at home after school (and after McDonalds) so I can have somekindofa dinner date with my husband. I sure miss our dinners.  Last time we had somekindofa date was way back in February. Kinda pathetic I know but we have always placed our daughter first.  So since I also want my daughter to rest and she has a yaya that seems to be ok.  This is a totally whole new yaya, replacement of the one who got my hubby&#8217;s havs. Hehe.  I left her at home. Although a little update on her, her cough seems to be improving but she still has her coughing bouts.</p>
<p align="justify">Anyhoo, since my husband had to work until 6 pm and I arrived a little past 5. I decided to do a little window shopping.  This window shopping turned into real time shopping! Haha! Sabi nga ng asawa ko ang bilis ko daw.  So we were supposed to watch a movie (The Dark Night) that my daughter and I were already able to watch about 2 weeks ago. Since my husband wanted to watch it I told him we should watch it together.  Anyways, when we met up, we tremendously heart achingly missed our daughter. So we decided to eat dinner, do a little window shopping and go home.  Movie watching was postponed!  We both miss our daughter.  Besides this is the first time after a long time that I have left my daughter for so long.  While window shopping, we passed by Astro Vision and I found the original set of Planet Earth.  So we bought it and decided to watch it instead at home. So we have been watching it since last night and hindi pa rin tapos hanggang ngayon. Hahaha!</p>
<p align="justify">Sulit na sulit na bayad. I first heard of Planet Earth sa king intellectual na kapatid na si Jolts.  During that time, I wanted to buy Planet Earth until I forgot about it. And then last week, Oprah said a little something about Planet Earth when Julia Roberts was her guest. Since information is the key to our survival. Not only ours but the rest of the planet. I decided to buy it. Hindi lang naman kami&#8230; I know  my daughter will definitely benefit from this. She needs to know how every little thing is important to our survival. Malay nyo diba.</p>
<p align="justify">So far, ang galing nyang pampatulog. Kasi up until now, tulog pa si cheng! Hahahahah!  More on Planet Earth later&#8230; nasa disc 1 palang kami. Hehehe. Eto lang masasabi ko ang GALING! Sulit na sulit ang P1,500 disc 1 palang.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">The thing is we have to cope with whatever it is that has been happening in our lives.  Things happen for a reason and we should deal.  We should not blame each other.  We should be constructive and not be destructive.   We should always believe that we are here for each other whatever happens because we have been through so much already.  This morning was a weak moment because I have been taking everything all in and I do not have an outlet yet.  Di pa kasi ako nakakapag shopping (sa sarili ko) kay cheska meron na.  Har har! Yan lang naman ang outlet ko. Plus I do not tell everything here. Most of the problems naman talaga I don&#8217;t say. Eh syempre pagod na din ang lola nyo.  Plus the fact that I need to hear God&#8217;s words.   I need to refresh spiritually because I know that I cannot do this by myself.  Pano kaya yun anoh, sana may online preaching. Hehe.  So pag pasensyahan nyo na if I need to rant once in a while dito or sa isang blog because as I have said I do not have an outlet.  Buti pa ang esprit may outlet dito. Wahahahaha. Joke!</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, this is a picture of cheska during the first night here.  The picture shows how strong she is.  I think she is stronger than me emotionally.  Yun na yun.</p>

<p align="justify">Ever since I have started with my online job,  I no longer remember getting an 8-hour sleep.  So sometimes in the middle of the day, I feel so sleepy.  Even when it is sooo hot.  There are times when I am in the mall and I feel sleepy that I have to go to a coffee shop just to smell the aroma of coffee.  But you see I do not drink coffee, I just love the smell.  So what I do while I am in line waiting for my chance to order hot tea or hot choco with marshmallows and my slice of chocolate cake, I look at the <u><a href="http://www.thecoffeebrewers.com/">espresso machines</a></u> used by the coffee shops and I watch them while they make the drinks.</p>
<p align="justify">This is such a change in me as you would never see me at a coffee shop before.  Nowadays, I just want to sit down and take a breather from all that walking in the mall.  I just want to savor the moment of not doing anything or sometimes I bring my laptop with me and avail of the free wi-fi. Lol!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Look what I bought yesterday,   a steam brush.  Hahahaha.</p>
<p><a href="http://ybabie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/steam_brush.jpg" title="steam_brush.jpg"></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://ybabie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/steam_brush.jpg" alt="steam_brush.jpg" /></p>
<p></a></p>
<p align="justify">
<p align="justify">This is a steam brush that I bought for only 1000 pesos.  So instead of using the flat steam iron, you can hang your clothes and iron them by using this.  You just have to run them through with this and the wrinkles disappear.  I was supposed to buy a steam iron because the old one that we had is broken so I was walking towards the cashier when I found this.  So now there is really no need to hire a helper and since I do not know how to iron.  I thought the ultimate perfect solution for me.  Hahaha!</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">When I got home my husband was disappointed because he said that the steam brush takes longer to iron clothes if compared to a flat iron.  He said if I wanted the steam thing that the malls use for their clothes, I should have bought this instead.</p>
<p align="center"> <a href="http://ybabie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/garment_steamer_iron.jpg" title="garment_steamer_iron.jpg"><img src="http://ybabie.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/04/garment_steamer_iron.jpg" alt="garment_steamer_iron.jpg" /></a></p>
<p align="justify">In my defense, I did not find anything that looked like that.  If I did, well I would have probably bought it.</p>
<p align="justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p align="justify">Anyways, I got an edmark magic fold for clothes for free.  So even if I do not know how to iron.  I can now fold all kinds of clothing attire perfectly.  Lol!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify">&nbsp;</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">The reason why I am not updating as much as I would want to because aside from barely coping with my online work load and personal blogging  update (hehe) is because my cheska does not have a yaya anymore.  So I do everything for her from the moment she opens her eyes until she closes her eyes at night.  And you know how children can be a handful sometimes.  So I barely manage my online job.  Just yesterday, I was only able to sleep at 3 am this morning and  I woke up at 9 am.  Hehehe. So that is only 6 hours of sleep for me.  Tomorrow I will have an even more crazy load as cheska will be attending a workshop to help her overcome with her shyness.  This is recommended by her manager (naks! may manager na si cheska).</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">But to let you guys now, we are not even considering getting another yaya since I will always be with my daughter and I can handle her anways.   Just this afternoon, while cheska is playing, I was having a small chat with my husband and I was telling him how I am turning out to be soooo domesticated.  Lol.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify">So I only have one more post to go before I have to fix all the clothes that came from the laundromat.  Hehehe.  My husband and I decided to have all our laundry done by a professional laundry service.  So we deposit all our clothes there and get them after a day.   O diba domesticated na talaga.</p>
