Ea's Birthday

Categories:  Updates
Tags: , ,

My little Ea turned 1 last friday.  The party was short, simple but fun and heartwarming.  Jeedo and I were joined by our family and close friends from SMSI and WCG.  The program was planned to start at 4PM but because of the rainy weather, most of the guests didn’t get there on time.  I didn’t want to start the whole thing without the ‘witnesses’ so we opted to wait a little longer until almost everyone was there.  We started around 5:30PM with the dedication ceremony officiated by Pastor Jerome.  We had candles lit to symbolize Jesus as the light upon Ea’s path with the parents, ninongs and ninangs guiding the little one along the way.  A sumptuous dinner followed after.  The food was yum.  We had a bit of extra dishes even after everyone had their fill.  The highlights of the event other than the dedication was the Triv-Ea game which I bet everyone had fun guessing and learning facts about Ea and of course Ea’s smiles and laughters that surprised all of those who haven’t seen her showing it.

My family from Davao came over and stayed in the same resort.  My manang Grace also ‘graced’ the event.  She took a flight from manila to davao and drove with the peeps to here.  It was so nice of them to come over considering they had to travel seven long hours by bus.   We had a great time chatting by the pool, we cooked, ate and did a lot of catching ups.  They all went home early this morning.

It feels amazing inside to realize how much Ea has grown over 12 months.  My baby is still a baby but Ea never ceases to surprise me with her new discoveries.  I’m sure a lot more of her antics will unfold in the next coming days, weeks, months and years.

Ea's Turning 1

Categories:  Updates
Tags:

It’s going to be her birthday tomorrow!  We booked Middleton Apartelle Function hall to have her dedication ceremony as well.  I’d like her to have ninongs and ninangs just like most kids.  But more than that, I believe these friends who will pledge before God will look after my baby, or at least extend care, should anything happens to us, her parents.  Ceremony will start at 4PM and after around 45 minutes, party will begin.  It’s going to be fun, I hope.  It’s not going to be a children’s party really since most guests are friends with babies (yet).  Two of my close friends, Mafe and Mhai will handle the program.  There’s going to be a game called “Triv-Ea”.  I will give them a set of questions, trivia questions about Ea.  Audience are to make wild guesses and who ever gives the correct answer wins.

One give-away question (which will be asked tomorrow, so this is a bonus to the invited “suki” reader of this blog): What was the first gift the couple ever received for Ea? Answer: A receiving blanket from Lola Rebecca, when Ea was yet 4 months old in mommy Ann’s tummy.

Prizes?  Of course there will be prizes.  But no appliance or home theater showcases, I’m sorry.

Everyone can go swimming after the event.  So this is the best time to unwind and just enjoy time with family and friends.  See you there!

It's raining… oh, man!

Categories:  Updates
Tags: ,

I dragged myself to get up this morning because I had to wash Ea’s bottom.  It was raining and I feel like snuggling a bit more under my hubby’s arm.  But my daughter just can’t wait any longer.  I was groggy as I searched for her clean nappy and clothes on the other room when I felt some water sprinkling on my arms, then on my face… when I looked up, I saw the ceiling dripping wet.  When I looked around the room, there’s water all over our things.  Now that woke me up. I rushed to get Jeedo.  Ea didn’t want to be put down, probably because she sensed something was wrong.. so I had to carry her around while we were trying to get everything out of the puddle.

Because our rented house was rather cute, we had to place many of our stuffs in boxes and stacked them in one corner until we move out to our own house.  Wedding and Christmas gift items (still unused, mostly), suitcases, archives of old files, books, clothes, electrical appliances… are all in that corner and were all soaked wet because of rain (over the broken ceiling).  The rain was also coming in through the windows and screen doors.  We spotted quite a number of broken areas where the water was leaking and coming in.  I went to our backyard to make a canal for the water to flow through and not pool by the kitchen doorstep.   Although Jeedo and I made some remedy, we can only hope the rain would stop.   There was a city-wide black out, no Internet and no water from the tap either.  Waaaa.. what a crazy day in a messy house.

Instead of waiting until after my delivery to move out, we might as well transfer as soon as possible.  The home developer agent said our house construction will be completed by end of January and will be ready to welcome us in by Feb.  Can’t wait.

Google Update

Categories:  Updates
Tags: ,

Congratulations to all bloggers who gained PR after the recent Google PageRank update.  Good for you! I’m happy for you! hahahah bitter bah?

I totally missed the G update (sigh) but I knew all along it was coming though, I just didn’t make time to “link up with the living”.  My sister Grace was prodding me weeks back to link her up but I was always putting it off, so sorry ster… it could have been an additional point for you.

I have read an article that says something like, learning new things on your spare time (or making time to learn new things!).  Your downtime should be spent on something else other than what you normally do.  A cook, for example, is not giving himself a break when he is just but learning a new recipe.  He could do gardening or photography, or maybe even scrap booking.

I work with blogs for more than two years now.  Those two years were fruitful I should say.  I learned, earned and taught a lot of friends and family to learn blogging and earn.  You have no idea how many blogs I get to view in a day or in an hour.  And that does not even include blogs of loved ones where I would really take time to pull blog sites out.

My point here is simple.  Please forgive me for not updating my blogs as often as I should.  Rather than blogging, I choose to spend my downtime in bed, cuddling with my little one, or take her out catching butterflies and picking up flowers in the garden.  Moments worth spending time for.

Happy New Year!!

Categories:  Updates

I can’t believe 2008 is finally over.  Time can fly by so fast.  One of the beautiful things that I am most amazed about is my little one- Ea.  Her feats, the developmental breakthroughs she’s discovering every day.  I totally forgot how small she was when she was born but at the same time, I am amazed by how much she has grown.  She’ll be a year old on the 16th.  Jeedo and I are now planning how to celebrate her very first birthday.  It’s going to be celebration for her blessing and dedication as well.  It’s going to be a gathering of friends and family and am looking we’re looking forward to it.

Ug sa diha'ng…

Categories:  Updates

This blog was intended to be an entertainment blog, para mapagkakitaan.. I moved from my eetsie.eklaboo to ann.jeedo.net and was doing fine until last night, my host (my husband) told me to move out of his domain huhuhu as he has other plans for it.  So I thought I might as well move back to Eetsie’s world.. but I can’t log in even after a password reset.  I don’t know what’s wrong with Wordpress now (or with my hosting?).  The glitches are just too many.  I’ve had log in problems and hacking issues lately and it’s just too much.  I wish I could bid goodbye to blogging world.  But just can’t.  And since this domain is pretty much a vacant lot, I might as well use this for personal blogging.  My friends blog here in eklaboo anyway.

So yeah, please welcome me back.  I’ll try moving all the past entries in ann.jeedo.net over here.  And I think I’m keeping this as a personal journal for good.  :)   Sorry guys if any of you feels I’m wasting the domain name for using it for personal entries.  Hmmm… you can ask Pokwang for some wacky names and register it yourself na lang ha.. *lol

Life is Beautiful

Categories:  Updates

and so am I.

Juklang ^_^ been so occupied lately.  Who isn’t?  Work and home stuff.   Ea was not feeling well the past weeks, she had baby measles and just a week later, cough.  Thankfully, she’s not the weepy type.  She smiles, moves about and makes a lot of na-na-na-pa-pa-ba-ba-ma-ma babbling.  She’s very malikot but with a little less appetite.  Starting the other day though, her energy is higher and she’s been drinking water a lot.  A good sign that she’s feeling much better now.  In fact, we visited her pedia this morning for a check up.  Her lungs are clear, thank God.

So wazzup wassup everybody?  I get to read your blogs but just haven’t got the time to tag back (sowee kai and chang) but will definitely do them within the week.   I’m working on getting a business permit and move ahead with our (Jeedo and mine) business plan…  the “OneLoadUp” or we might rename it to “Proton Enterprise”.  Why proton?  Ask him.  I don’t know either.  Tonight, I’ll ask him why and if the reason is not convincing, I’ll hunt for another business name.  Any suggestions?  The Biz will be retailership of Prepaid Cards (and Processed Foods) perfect combo??  Well all people eat and most have cellphones so why not delve into a biz where everyone is a prospective customer, diba?

Another project of mine is building this site’s theme.  If you ever notice, the theme is different each week.  Mainly because I just cannot make up my mind what to place here.  I wanted something personal and very very me.  So I guess I have to resolve to creating my own design (out of an existing theme, of course).   I’ll restore all the past side bar codes and tag board :D

whhooops…. I can hear my baby chuckling.  ’scuse me, I’ll just go and check.  Ciao!

 PR: wait…  I: wait…  L: wait…  LD: wait…  I: wait… wait…  C: wait…  SD: wait…

Large, Small and Extra Small

Categories:  Updates

It’s just the three of here in the house.  Me, my little one semi-baby semi-toddler Ea and the extra small chunk floating in my tummy.  I brought my laptop inside the bedroom so we don’t have to absorb the scorching heat of the midday sun.  Ea’s in the walker smiling to herself by the mirror and here I am trying to work.

I bought some preggy dresses for my self and some blouses for Ea yesterday.  I had fun shopping by myself… something that I haven’t done so for quite some time now.  It was just supposed to be a market time for me to replenish the pantry and the fridge.  But I realized I had to “replenish” my wardrobe as well, haha!

Thanks to my ever supportive hubby who’s always happy to see me at my best (and still loves me when I’m at my worst, mind you)
