NIce To Know Youw Wednesday, weekly meme

Hello everyone! It is Wednesday once again + it is time for another edition of NKTYW. Before anything else, I’d like to start off with a big thank you to all those who participated last week: sissies Mitch + Shengkay, Chie Wilks, Ice + Jade Ingua. I really had loads of fun reminiscing my preggie days through your entries. Thanks 🙂

Our questions for this week are inspired by this Papemelroti Memo Pad I received during the PMC Grand Eyeball last April.  This was given by honorary mommy member, sis Ria.

The questions:

1. Where do you find tranquility?

2. Where do you eat like a horse?

3. Where do you zonk out?

4. Where is your jungle?

5. Where does your joy come from?

My answers:

1. Back in the days I find tranquility in the written pages of my journal where I used to pour in every bit of my thoughts + worries, I also used to find tranquility whenever I am in my Yoga mat coming down from one post to another. Those were my own personal form of prayers + they never fail to comfort me + bring my mind at peace. I so missed those days (When I find the time I’d like to go back to Yoga + do it seriously this time + enroll in a class (I found one near my place a few months back!). Fast forward to now, I guess nothing will ever bring the most tranquility than looking into my little child’s innocent eyes. He is my little piece of heaven here on Earth, my little piece of bliss.

2. I almost eat like a horse all the time, but it is best to do it in the comfort of my own home. It is most comfortable that way + the least expensive, won’t you agree 😉

3. No other perfect place to zonk out apart from my own bed, beside my little man who is sleeping sound like an angel as I write this 🙂

4. My own room is my own little jungle, with nooks + crannies serving as uncharted territories as far as the little man is concern. It can be surprising + lurking with dangerous things at times with unusual suspects lying harmlessly on the floor, that I best keep guard to be sure that the little one is safe all the time.

5. I find joy in the simplest of things: random acts of kindness, a forwarded message or a simple hello from a dear friend I have not seen in a long while, or hearing an old-forgotten favorite song I’ve not heard in a while, + of late, laughter + wails + loads of random wet kisses from my little man 🙂

I’m looking forward to reading your answers. Remember to include the badge (check out the badges here) in your entry + post your linky here. Don’t forget to visit + leave your comment love to other participants as well!

Thanks + Nice to know you! 🙂

NTKYW Meme

Knowing yourself is the beginning of all wisdom. ~ Aristotle

Hello there, it is Wednesday once again + welcome to the 2nd edition of Nice To know You Wednesday(NTKYW), this is a weekly meme that allows us to get to know a little bit about our fellow bloggers thru 5 interesting questions.

I am very thankful to all who participated in our Maiden Edition, namely Mys, sis Shengkay + Trish,Raya + Chie101 (it was interesting to note that I now have an answer about how she came up with her online name, Chie Wilks ;)) , inspite + despite of me not promoting the Meme that much (I was in a hurry to make my post last Wednesday since I considered Wednesday + the number 3 lucky! Not that I am superstitious but I just have good vibes with them ;)).

As a sign of my gratitude (+ since I am feeling rather generous this month) I will be giving $5 to Mys, who is my very first participant (kindly send me your paypal address via my contact form) + a little gift (which I shall be blogging about in a while) for all the other 4 participants (kindly send in your mailing details thru my contact form, too).

Now on with today’s Meme.  A little backgrounder: I was reading this month’s copy of Smart Parenting + saw one of my favorite deejays Delamar of RX 93.1, with her glorious baby bump. So it inspired the questions for today’s Nice To Know You. Join me in reminiscing or dreaming (if you haven’t experienced it yet) about our pregnant days.

Here are our 5 interesting questions:

1. What do you like best about being pregnant?

2. What is your most embarrassing preggy moment?

3. Was your pregnancy planned or surprised?

4. What I’ll miss most about being pregnant?

5. What are your preggy comfort food?

+ here are my answers:

1. What I like best about being pregnant is that I look + feel good about myself (many were saying I was a pretty preggie :)) + that everyone else seemed a little bit nicer 🙂

2.  When I was pregnant there were several occasions when my tummy would act up + there is just no way I can control it even if my life depended on it! I’d feel the urge to throw up whenever I ride public transportation or the train, so I always have a clean plastic bag handy which I can use in case of emergency. But sometimes the good plan simply don’t work out resulting to embarrassing incidents. + the most embarrassing of them all was when I threw up in cab + the driver thought I was drunk (my tummy was just 4 months back then + it wasn’t very big at all).  All the mess was on the car floor +  Jared’s dad had to pay P200 for our ride to include fees for car wash! Totally embarrassing!

3. My pregnancy was actually a very lovely surprise. I told Jared’s dad that I should either be pregnant or giving birth by the time I turn 30 when we were just starting. We never planned or talked about it afterwards. So it was really quite a pleasant surprise when I found out I was 2 months on the family way  the year I am celebrating my 30th birthday!

4. What I will actually miss the most about being preggie is the huge bump in my mid-section. Somehow it makes you feel so much more secure to know that your baby is safe + sound inside your tummy! I will also miss the preggy ward in our workplace where I got to be with a lot of other preggie ladies the entire shift! Apart from that, I will also miss the pedicures courtesy of my sis, Cecille, + Jared’s dad 🙂

5. When I was pregnant I nearly do not know what to eat most of the time, since I’d almost always throw up anything that I eat. What’s most comforting to eat back then (+ the least likely to inspire another agonizing trip to the loo once my tummy act up!) are Fita crackers + red apples. I also went on a binge for a while + I simply love Dulcinea’s cream puff 🙂

Again the rules for this meme is simple. Just answer the 5 questions + include a meme badge (the badges are here) in your post. Link up + visit as many participants as you can! I’ll be waiting for your entries.

Nice to know you!

Nice To Know You Meme,

 Know thy self.   ~ Plato

Hello, welcome to the first Wednesday of August + welcome to the very first edition of my brand spankin’ new meme, Nice to Know You Wednesday.

Here’s our 5 interesting questions for the week:

  1. What is your online nickname + how did you come up with it?
  2. What was the last thing on your mind before you sleep last night?
  3. Which are the first 5 songs that play in your iPod when you shuffle it?
  4. What are the last words you tell your children before they dose off to dreamland?
  5. Are you generally happy or sad when it rains?

My answers: 

  1. I was also known as Jared’s mum online since I am Jared’s mum 🙂
  2. That I will be washing my son’s feeding bottles as soon as I get up in the morning
  3. Hanukkah, O Hanukkah by Baby Einstein, New Tattoo  by Urbandub, Infatuation by Maroon 5, End of the Road by BoyzIIMen + Sa Wakas by Eraserheads
  4. I always tell Jared that I love him before we go to sleep
  5. Am generally sad + overly lazy when it rains, blame it on my mood depending too much on sunshine, but am just glad I have my very own little ray of sunshine, Ethan Jared to tide me over during the gloomy, rainy months 😉
