Anxious.

I'm about to burst out of excitement for a get together I'll be attending tomorrow. Me and my online friends (twitter friends to be specific) will have an EB for the nth time and even though a number of us have met frequent times before, tomorrow will be a grand and more exciting one because we'll get to see those we haven't met still. One is on vacation from the US while another will be coming from down south. Then some more who's based in the metro but didn't get to attend our previous EBs before. We'll be having our mini-party at BSA Tower, it's not one of the premier boutique hotels in Makati but it's a spacious and comfy serviced apartment in the Central Business District and just the right venue for us to engage in non-stop chitchatting, chocolate gulping (we have a choco fountain) and feasting of yummy CCME meals. A few will spend the night there so it'll also be a sort of slumber party. Now I'm really am so excited to meet these girls.

Weight Update.

I think I have mentioned here that I am on a diet mission right now. Contrary to the "regular" slimming mission that most ladies have, I'm having mine as fattening session. As mentioned, my post delivery weight dropped significantly and it's even way below my average pre-pregnancy weight. Well, it's basically attributed to my breastfeeding but since Asher is now mixed fed, I'm taking it easy now plus I try to load up my meals to gain weight. So there, instead of threadmills, slimming pills,and Kettlebells I am arming myself with lots of healthy foods plus a good sleep. Whenever the little one naps in the afternoon, I take a break from my online works and join him.

My current weight now is just 88 lbs..by next month, I'm targeting to gain at least 5 lbs. I'll update you next month regarding this mission.

Swimming Time.

I can surely feel the heat of the summer now. How hot it is from where I am from? Well, I'm still sweating even if the fan is directly blowing at me steadily. Same goes with the little one who's even more sweaty than I am. That's why we didn't have second thoughts when we passed by the toys section and abound were inflatable pools for kids. Since he enjoys the water so much, we decided to buy this mini inflatable pool from Intex. So once in a while, we let him enjoy and to freshen him up from the scorching summer heat. He loves it of course specially if his pool toys are floating around. Here's the proof:

Shopping Freeze.

I love shopping online and offline but of course, it's much enjoyable when you have the moolah to splurge. We're still recovering from the party expenses trauma so just imagine how hard it is for me lately when we go malling on weekends. Just last Easter Sunday, we went to Trinoma to treat the little one and buy new Avent teats for his bottles. When we were at the baby section, I intended not to look at each rack of clothes and other baby stuffs so I wouldn't be enticed. I knew I would just end up disappointed going home without it. I almost even rushed the cashier lady who was so slow in using the barcode scanner so that we can go out of the section immediately. At any rate, I was able to sneak into the cart a pair of pajama sets for Asher aside from the bottle teats. Then the husband, without me knowing, grabbed a toy for the little one while we were at the counter.
