scat-ter-brain
n.
A person regarded as flighty, thoughtless, or disorganized.

According to ex-pregnant women and pregnancy books, an expecting mother may suffer from the Scatterbrain syndrome. Being a forgetful person even before I got pregnant, I was very worried about experiencing this.

At the start of the pregnancy, Ramil would tease me about having the scatterbrain syndrome whenever [...]

filthy rich

No, we are not lotto winners nor are we Deal or No Deal contestants. In fact, Ramil and I struggle every month to make ends meet. We’ve loaded our credit cards (unnecessarily, hehe!) and we have unpaid loans. Our combined salaries every 15th and 30th are used up even before we get them. We are [...]

of floods and black-outs

I haven’t posted anything in more than a week. For lack of anything to post, I’ll give our own milenyo experience. The storm last week gave us (me, actually) a bad scare. Though in the aftermath, we realize that we were actually one of the lucky ones.
Being teachers, Ramil and I welcomed the announcement of [...]

A must-have for Ramil and me when we got married is a tv. We planned to buy one since January but due to budget constraints, we opted to ‘borrow’ one of the tv’s in my parent’s house. The thing kept us sane for 5 months and then it started malfunctioning. Last week, the borrowed tv [...]

taking a leap

I like to plan. I can get too obsessed with planning something that I would be consumed by it until something else gets my attention. But if my life would be a sample of my planning skills, I guess I suck at it. Well, as they say, if you want to make God laugh, plan. [...]

digging up the past

I wrote this post last year. After reading through my previous posts, I felt reminiscent of the months before our wedding. I’m posting this again to celebrate our 7th month on July 17.
Before the wedding, there’s the couple. Before any girl dreams of the perfect wedding, she dreams of finding THE ONE.
Finding the [...]

Thinking of what to eat for dinner has been an ordeal for Ramil and me the past few weeks. If you’ve been reading my previous posts, you already know that I’ve lost my desire to cook anything because the smell of garlic and onions and such make me nauseous. Because of my husband’s limited cooking [...]

JAWS and cheesecake

Ramil and I woke up later than scheduled last Saturday for my ob visit. We were both lazy to prepare breakfast so we opted to just buy from Mcdo in Eastwood on the way to St.Luke’s. The weather was very unpredictable that day, raining very hard one moment and then totally stopping the next. As [...]

pregnancy and dating

Posted on June 27, 2006 - Filed Under Marriage, Pregnancy | Leave a Comment

It seems that I only needed to get pregnant to be able to date more. Syempre pa, asawa ko ka-date ko. Hehe! Ramil and I dated more in the past few days than in the past few months. We’ve been so focused on saving up (to no avail) that we would usually ‘date’ at home. [...]

tastes

For the past weeks or so, people have been asking me what food/s I’ve been craving. Ano daw ang pinaglilihian ko? My answer would usually be, nothing but I know the foods that I don’t like. Once a food is mentioned I can easily say whether I like it or not but if I’m asked [...]
