Staying up late used to be the best fat loss supplement for me, but not anymore. I dunno why but I just feel that it doesn’t work for me any longer.

Did I mention that I bought a new pair of jeans last month and it was size 30? This afternoon, I went to PAGASA market to get a pair of slacks tailored for me and it really shocked me to know that my waist now measures 31 (I think an inch goes for the bulge haha!). Frustrating but as the Arabs would usually say “What to do yani?!” So I guess I’ll just accept the fact that I’m no more the young Mitch before who had a 23 waistline LOL!

If I am to choose between Orlando vacation packages and an iPad right now, well… I’d choose an iPad hahaha! Seriously! I’d go for an iPad. Though I have to admit, it’s a hard decision to make hahaha! Vacation is a vacation and Orlando vacation package could be one of the dream vacations anyone could wish for.

However, practically speaking iPad is the right answer. Then, maybe I’ll surf the net and visit Orlando online through my iPad! LOL! In my dreams… Hmmmmm… wait, I remember someone promised me I could have this once it’s released. But since I am a very understanding wife, I’ll pass this time. Priorities first! Ate Deye is transferring to a more expensive pre-school and Christening for bunso is scheduled in May. So there, that explains well.

Gosh! I couldn’t believe I bought a size 30 new pair of jeans lately! I used to be 24, then 26, then 28, then…… *sigh* In fact, I gave away two new pairs to my cousin. I remember buying 2 pairs before I got pregnant. Take note those were Bench jeans ahuhuhuhu! I was hoping I could still fit in there at least 2 months after I gave birth but failed! It didn’t even allow the waist part to reach, well my hips LOL!

I badly need to buy new “pairs” of jeans. I’m eyeing for a pair of Hudson jeans, quite expensive compared to what I’m usually wearing but I thought it would be nice to reward myself after all those pregnancy struggles and weight watch moments. Yeah! I failed! I gained a kilo this month aaargh!

Someone’s bike is parked outside! I wish I could say “someone’s car is parked outside” very soon LOL! I’m not posting it because it’s new. It’s not. It’s already a 1 y/o bike but since I don’t allow Deye to play outside our compound, she doesn’t get to play with it a lot. Now that the whole compound’s ground (please excuse unwanted things in the photo, construction is still ongoing) is cemented and more elevated in anticipation of floods (kitchen sinks are next. They need to be replaced, very badly. Water leaks and it’s not a good thing to put a tub under the sink literally. Stagnant water invites more mosquitoes in the house), she got excited to the idea of biking around our house.

Lately, she doesn’t show a good appetite. In fact, this lunch time I had to make a good deal with her which I’m sure she’d agree. “If you eat and finish your lunch, you can play with your bike outside this afternoon after school and even the whole weekend, if you like. That’s a promise!” Obviously, she compromised. So there, I gave her bike a good bath a while ago and parked it outside heehee! By the time she’s back from school, it’s already dried up.

… between being a SAHM and getting a new challenging job (take note I didn’t have to do a Manufacturing job search this time). I know I’ve already said here exactly two months ago that family comes first but an offer like this is so darn tempting!

While I was busy keeping up with my FB games alternately, a message over Skype popped up! It was from my former boss.

Hi Mitch! Now with a baby, still not interested to go back to work?

I replied,

Hi, would love to but I dunno how I’d manage with two and work at the same time.

With his reply and offer, it made me think again,

Fine, maybe want to start part time? Can offer you Assistant Marketing Mngr.

Now I’m torn! He says I can work part time, with a flexi schedule and I can decide when to start the job. I’m so interested but of course I’ll have to see his proposal first if the price is right and offer is really not complicated with my mommy duties. I told my husband already and

Just when I was about to finish the last task that sheriff gave me, as in literally about to click the submit button, bunso cried for milk while ate asked for another glass of an iced tea at the same time. It is manageable. Super dali. But hearing my youngest cried to the max, I almost tripped and dropped her bottle on my way back to her crib from the kitchen.

I couldn’t imagine myself doing the rest of the house chores handling more than 2 kids, picking up toys scattered on the floor every minute, if they were loose diamonds I won’t really mind haha! I’m so lucky I only need to attend to my kids’ needs. I don’t need to clean the house, wash the dishes/clothes and cook our meals. Despite that, I sometimes feel stressed with their small demands. Well, maybe because I lack sleep. Still, I am one lucky mommy who has a house help and a mom around her!
