before we went to sleep, my hubby initiated a "quality time". this is what we call our serious and senti conversations. =) bihira mangyari ito kaya't pinagbigyan ko, hehe. we have exchanged ideas of happiness and what makes us happy. when it was my turn, i told him that i am at present happy. i am happy that the good Lord has granted my wish to conceive a child. i have made a vow with Him that having a baby will be my last "hiling" for myself. yes, He usually gives what i wish for and it's been awhile that He has stopped granting my wishes. kala ko nga, hindi na ako malakas sa Kanya eh. =) but then, He again let me feel how He favors me. hihi. from now on, my prayers will be for our baby. see, i'm keeping my promise! =)
our quality time ended around 1 AM. my hubby was really serious huh! i wondered if it has something to do with our dinner. grabe, napuyat ako. bakit pa kasi pinauso ko pa itong quality-quality time na ito eh! =)

today's the 30th day since my last monthly period. i was having hopes that i am pregnant. what are the signs??
- i eat minimum of five (5) meals a day. pero nde rin. i could be this matakaw because my kuya was here in UAE and he keeps cooking good food. no, make that excellent tasting food. masarap talaga magluto si kuya, even the simplest menu he could turn into sumptuous one. hehe, nde naman ako sipsip. kumbaga, magana lang kumain pag may tagaluto. =)
- i can take naps without my hubby forcing me to do so. i am not a nap-loving-type of person. lately, i just take naps if my hubby forces me to take nap when he takes his nap. however, for the past few days i take nap because i am just sooooo sleepy. i take nap in the morning or in the afternoon. pero nde rin. i could be this sleepy because i am always online and sleep late or i was just used to a longer sleeping time during my month-long vacation.
- frequent urination. pero nde rin. well, i used to have this symptom when i had my UTI (urinary tract infection). am i having one again??? is this the consequence of eating too much Boy Bawang??!!! i hope not (peborit ko pa naman na ito). i'd better drink lots water then.
- cramps on my abdomen and swollen breasts. pero nde rin. i am due to have my period that's why i am experiencing these signs.
- feeling nilalagnat. pero nde rin. my hubby says my temperature is the same as his. however, i feel like i don't have the energy and is too tired. naah, nasobrahan lang siguro sa bakasyon. hahaha.
- spotting. i did experienced this for a day or two. it caused me to worry since it could be another hormonal imbalance again. again, because it has happened before. the only difference from the previous occurrence was that this spotting subsided after a few days. could this be another hormonal imbalance thingy? i hope not.
well, could all these be the signs that i am indeed pregnant? if i am, i am worried nonetheless. worried not because of the bodily changes but more of what i have been doing the past month during the suppossed conception.
- i have used an anti-acne cream (with tretinoin) and liquid soap (with salicylic acid). i have been bombarded with pimples kasi without knowing that that these are signs of hormonal changes.
- i have used antibiotic eyedrops for my eye allergies. my eye's previous allergic reaction has re-occurred and i really have no choice.
- i have been eating a lot of oily and junk foods. this is all my fault. sarap kumain eh!
i dunno, what to pray for now. whether to pray to have a baby on the way or to pray not to have one. i hope the Lord grants us whatever is good for the baby.
Note: I have decided to create a separate blog for my pregnancy experiences. i aim to document the things i am going through as an expectant mom to guide future moms, seek advice from certified moms and merely to share the moments with my friends. please refer to www.preggymai.blogspot.com.

this book composed of story-telling chapters of David about the eccentricities of his family and himself. i think i have to re-read this book since i wasn't able to grasp the author's message and what he was trying to convey. funny instances were captured funnier though.

it was only today that i am posting this event since this was actually considered illegal. haha! yep, for 23 days, i have been working as a part-time secretary for a certain company here in abu dhabi. i acted as a reliever for a friend who went for a vacation in our home country. the experience was different and difficult. why is that? because i had to actually be infront of the computer for almost 9 hours straight! typing, editing, checking emails.. these sorts. i had to send fax messgaes and at the same time, make calls. grabeng multi-tasking if i may say. minsan nga, muntik ko nang sagutin yung fax machine dahil sa kalituhan. hihi.
it was a small office (enclosed in a bigger office) with a limited staff. aside from my friend who temporarily went away, there were also two brits and a syrian. the syrian was actually a very nice guy. nice kasi he just pouts when i made mistakes. no "you are such a dummy!" look. hehe. he was also fond of praising the work you did for him. too bad he also went away for vacation after a week of my stay. but then again, it means less work, kaya okay na rin. hehe.
as for the brits, well... what do you expect? they hate the americans, including the latter's english! what's so ironic about it, they sometimes ask me for the spelling (i.e. maneouvre?) or meaning of an english word (i.e., forenoon), in its british version. duh???!!! sa akin pa daw ba itanong??!!! but then, i gave them my best guesses. hihi. of course, with the spelling the word should have that french-look, o then u and r before e. as for the meaning of words such as "forenoon", i give them my wildest guess. i told them it means "before noon", specifically the time when you eat your brunch. ngahaha.
the old brit prefers to be called "captain", i dunno if he was once a ship's captain or not. all i know is, he is quite adept with maritime terms and goings. he said he has been in the UAE for quite sometime. this granny have this habit of cursing, carries an old plastic briefcase, i could hear him chewing something every now and then (nganga kaya yun? hihi), and positively, super stingy! hehe. nde kasi nagla-lunch. =) he also has this very old way of working. like most of his working hours were spent on doing unnecessary things like making table of contents, etc. etc. yep! when he speaks to clients, he is mostly blubbering (has the habit of saying "etc., etc.,etc.," than actually specifying what are those etceteras were) than conveying important information. oh well, you really can't teach old dogs new tricks. eh, ano ba pakialam ko sa organization nila?
as for the younger brit, he is the boss and rather cute if he's on his good mood. he also curses once in awhile, sings at least 3x in those 8hrs of work, brings in this really tasty donuts (sarap because it's not too sweet and the dough is really siksik and manamis-namis, i wonder where he buys it from....) pag nasa mood siya, and with those three (3) weeks he has learned to doubt that i am getting the right names of callers. i don't blame him because i really don't!! haha.
so, now that my time here has ended... what will i miss? not much. probably the times that i wake up at 7 AM in the morning, the chance to update my blog when there were no documents to type, the times i could read an e-book on my mobile phone when i have a spare time, the chance to wear sandals to work, the "talking" elevator, the black tea in the morning, the times that i could sneak out to the mall and of course, the donuts that RJC occassionally brings. hehe.
and what will i not miss?? the rude taxi drivers in the morning, not having lunch (not because i don't want to or nagkukuripot ako, but for the reason that i don't like eating alone in public places unless it'll cause me death), captain's cursings and out-of-this-world tasks to do, the ringing phone, the freezing room temperature, the PC monitor that actually made me go blind, the xerox copier that cannot copy bunch of documents by itself, the printer that "eats" paper, the scanner that takes ages to scan, the sight of yellow envelopes, and going home much later than 4 o'clock. and that is without prejudice. ;)
