GRILLED TOMATOES

IVF BABY NUMBER 3 and 4? I'm nearing 40 years of age and I still have frozen eggs in Singapore. Part of me wants to go ahead and have a couple more babies. But it's just so expensive. I wish to have a baby boy for the next round. Will my body be able to handle it? My biological clock is ticking but I know it is still do-able. But I need to check our finances first. IVF is expensive and raising children too. My twins are the product of science. And I love how it succeeded at the first try. It was an awesome experience, not for the weak of heart. I'm happy how my husband was very supportive throughout the... "assembly" process (haha!). In the Philippines, years back I only knew two centres that does In Vitro Fertilisation. But now when I checked online there's already a handful in Manila. The most popular is the one in St. Luke's Hospital, they call it CARMI or Centre for Advanced Reproductive Medicine and Infertility. But I went to CARE in Singa...

Now that I have my new laptop with me, I am twice excited to start my projects to get to my goals for the coming years.  My new MacBook Pro is my new best friend and this will be one of my primary tools in writing, selling and so on. It’s super sleek and super fast. Unfortunately, I had to type this blog entry using Pages because our internet connection is super slow and super stupid. Haha Pardon the word. We’re paying around 2500Php every month for a speed that’s supposed to be higher than 3 or 5Gig but we’re getting the speed of a snail or slower than that.  We moved to our new home last June and we have been waiting for  the availability of PLDT’s internet connection. Globe Tattoo has been terrible and all these months it tested our patience.  And we have been patient and we need to remain so until PLDT becomes available. We just don’t have any choice, so it will have to do for now. Tomorrow will be a busy day. I have errands and payroll to do, a littl...

Yesterday we celebrated my 39th year of existence with a couple of friends from Singapore. Oh boy I missed them! My hubby bought food, my mom and bros took care of the desserts. And I can't help but feel soooo loved! I loved the food except for the Cebu Boneless Lechon. There wasn't really anything exceptional that would make me come back for some more. Next time I'd still opt for the traditional lechon pork.  I still have the hangover from the past couple of days. My brain is still not working at all. My body is telling to me to rest and stop moving for a couple of days more but I sooo want to exercise and burn all the food I ate. I have been bad in terms of diet, I ate lots and lots of carbs and now I feel comatosed. I better get back in shape asap.

I am taking a break for a couple of days frrom working on the ultimate goal. It's my birthday tomorrow and we have guests. Our beloved friends (more like family) are coming over to visit hence we have housecleaning and shopping to do. Mg hubby and I already had a quick start cleaning our room and trimming plants. But we still have about 6 rooms to clean.  For some reason, I find housecleaning quite satisfying.  I'll keep this post really short, at 5:30am I already have a log of things going on and I am hoping I'd be done with the house before dinner today.  Laters baby! 💋

Yesterday I sat down with my hubby to discuss what needs to be done in 2016. And an hour is not enough to plan the year ahead. I strongly suggest to anyone to do this. Make it a practice. Write down your goals for 2016. Whether it's travel, weight loss, studies, or anything about finances... Write it down. Try to be specific. Put in details and target dates.  You'll be surprised at the end of the year when you go back to see what you have accomplished. If you're a wife, have your hubby sit down with you and ask him what you want to accomplish as a couple for next year. And... Write it down. If you're single, you can do the goal setting for yourself.  Then at the end of the year, check your list. And give yourself a pat on the back when you accomplish your goals.  But right now my brain is about to burst.  We are now at the part wherein we have to set the budget for the coming year.  Soooo... Tuition fees, more car tires, renovations, insurance are new on the lis...
