Mommy moment

He was a teeny tiny baby who sleeps most of the time, pees and poos from time to time, cries when hungry. Too helpless and too dependent. And it just amazes me how time flies so fast. Really fast. He's now running around, chasing and getting chased, and trying to do things on his own.

Now here's my little man

Bye Straight, Hello curls

"Kahit ano. Kulot kaya?" (Anything. Curls perhaps?), said a girl with a very straight hair 5 hours ago.

I got myself a perm.

No, I did not think about it. It was an impulsive decision.

One minute I thought my hair is boring, the next minute I'm already at the salon.

I just want something new.

Hence:

I love it. Because it's messy, it's so random, and the hair is so spontaneous. I don't have to fix it. And I now have a reason not to comb it.

I am now a lioness (with a mane). LOL

To fitness and beyond

I desperately wanted to gain weight. I eat a lot a, got pregnant, and at 25 I still fit on my high school uniform. I’m not exaggerating, I really look small and it doesn't look good. I know there are a lot of factors why I’m not gaining weight even though I have the appetite of an elephant. First,I prefer veggies over meat. Second, I don’t like to eat sweets (dark chocolates is an exception for that matter, take note, it’s not sweet). Third, I sleep less. And lastly, I am active, I play football.

Right now, going to the GYM is my best option to gain weight. You see, I know a lot of friends who are as thin as a stick, but now have those lean and mean bodies when they started going to the gym. I don’t really want to have those hard-rock bulging muscles, I just want to look tight but not thin.

For the past three days, I went looking for the best gyms in Davao City. Here are those on top of my list after reading some reviews over the net:

1.) Metrolifestyle Davao

2.) Holiday Gym and Spa

3.) Smashville Fitness Center

4.) Matina South Health Studio

Next week, I will be visiting each of these gyms to see where I would like to work out the most.

And just yesterday, I got myself a new pair of shoes, a few jogging pants, and a few tops for gym use. Excited much? ;)

My little man

It breaks my heart to see my baby grow up so fast. I wish I could just slow down the time and enjoy his sloppy kisses. Sooner or later he wouldn't want to be carried anymore, he wouldn't want me kissing him in public, he'll be going out with friends, go out on a date, move out. Awww... hahaha. I wish babies can be babies forever.

Anyone can cook

Remember Chef Gusteau's book 'Anyone can cook'? Well, apparently, I just proved it to be true.

I never really loved cooking. I am the one who used to wait while the mom cooks and I devour as much as I can. I never really liked the kitchen. At 20, I only know how to fry hotdogs and eggs.

But a lot of things have changed now.

Since we no longer have a household help, I just started learning how to cook real food last week. So expect to see simple dishes just enough to fill the tummies but won't necessarily satisfy the tastebuds. Hahaha

Excuse the food presentation, this is my first time. LOL

Spare Ribs. Good thing it did not turn out bad.

First Chicken Afritada

Fried tilapia escabeche

The verdict: They loved it. I'm starting to love the kitchen now. But I still hate cleaning up though. Ugh.
