I AM DZOI

Gadget Freaks

I saw a few digital cameras on sale last week which made me think of upgrading again. My ixus 80 is good enough but I’ve wanted a Lumix for so long. I’m hoping there’s a 0% interest payment scheme so the payments won’t be that much per month. First I need to sell my camera, though. Buying a new one will be too much if I still have a perfectly working camera at home. I can give it to Sandy but I’m thinking we could use it to fund for her PSP instead. Her birthday is two months from now and it’s the only one on her wish list that she really wants.

My Two Girls

Never thought I’d love someone again as much as I love Sandy but I was wrong.

Too Much Weight

I’ve been dieting for weeks now. Still, the baby weighs 7lbs as of last ultrasound. Not sure if she’s just huge or I’m doing something wrong. Must be all those slices of mango bravo that I ate for the past six months. But can you blame me? Just look at the photo that I snagged from Aggie’s flickr. I believe I could finish half of that in one seating.

If I’m not planning on breastfeeding this little one, I’m positive I’d take fat burner as soon as I give birth. But I’ll leave my weight loss to breastfeeding. Aside from it being the best milk for babies, it’s also a great and natural way to get back into shape.

High Energy

I just love watching my younger cousins because they make me feel so young. They definitely don’t need testosterone booster with their energy level. I remember how I used to be on the go all the time just like them. The night starts at 11PM and doesn’t end at least until 6AM the next day. My favorite of all is that no matter how much I eat, I burn it off easily just by being active.

With work, parenting and household chores to balance – I sometimes wish I could have the same energy that I had 10 years ago. I think I could get more things done without being too tired at the end of the day when it’s time to bond with The Husband and Sandy.

Father’s Day Gifts

No, I don’t have a gift yet for the men in my life. But after seeing several blog posts, I now have an idea on what to get. 

Black and Mild cigars. A pack of 6 will only cost you  $4. Or a bottle of wine that they can reserve for special occasions.

A box filled with colorful ties, cuff links and handkerchiefs.

A Barnes and Noble gift card. For those who love to read.

Grilling tools. Every man I know are addicted to grilling. It’s a man’s job, as they say.

A high-end leather wallet. The older they get, the more they appreciate durability and style.

Another MBAP Event. Finally!

So many MBAP events have been canceled for the past year due to Ondoy, scheduling problems and other inevitable problems that come with life. But luckily this time, most of us are available to have a party with the June celebrants (Moi, Jody, Jacqui and Jane) and also hold a baby shower for Abie and Me. Congratulations so Apple by the way! She’s now pregnant herself too. With one or two MBAPs getting pregnant each year, I wonder who’s next? Maybe one of the fab and sexy ladies below?

Shopping Time Again

Are you addicted to coupons just like me? I’m a self-confessed coupon addict because it helps me save so much money. And with my love for shopping online, having coupons is like hitting two birds with one stone. One of the sites that I visit frequently is ebillme.com. I’m just a fan of their Deal of the Day and constantly amaze on how much money you can save if you use one of their coupons. Their merchants are very popular too such as Sears, Kmart, TigerDirect.com, Buy.com, Shoebuy.com to name a few. Browsing through ebillme is like being in a toy store for a shopaholic like me. As I write this, I already have a few items I would like to purchase as soon as I get some of my sideline earnings at the end of the month.

Sleep Never Comes

I am this close to taking sleeping pills. The baby is getting so huge I am having trouble finding a comfortable sleeping position. My eye bags are humongous and I feel so sluggish each time I wake up from my intermittent sleep. My work and parenting are suffering a bit. I’m lucky Sandy is old enough to entertain herself and that stuff at work isn’t so hard. If I didn’t know any better, I would think my employer wants to give me some breathing space. However, this is usually the calm before the storm so I’m expecting tons of design tasks a few days before I give birth. Which makes it even more important that I get some decent Zzzs until I am really unable to do so.

Hair Affair

The Husband wants to have another Mohawk haircut after his first tamed attempt to have one. He’s definitely not the type who worries about receding hairlines or one who’s constantly on the look out for hair loss for men. Some men I know choose to shave their hair altogether in order not to worry about balding anymore. And it’s a good solution for most who have really nice bone structure.

For The Husband however, he thought about having a Mohawk after getting bored with his haircut. He doesn’t follow the trend by the way but little does he know that ever since Glee came out, everyone wants to have a Mohawk too. So whenever someone notices his hair, their comments usually have something to do with Puck from Glee. This should be enough to put him off but to my surprise, he couldn’t care less and still wanted to go ahead with the haircut. I teased him about having a mid-life crisis but there wasn’t anything I could say that could make him change his mind.

SATC2 Movie Date / Conti’s Pig Out

Just some photos of me and the girls last Saturday’s movie date. I’m so huge here I’m starting to feel nervous that I won’t be able to go back to my old weight ever. But that’s the least of my concerns. I really hope that the labor would be easy and uneventful and that our baby will be a happy and healthy one. NO allergies and health problems so she can enjoy her first months in life.

Anyway, we all love SATC2! In fact, I loved it even more than SATC1. Maybe it’s because I can relate more this time as they talked about the different kinds of marriages, parenting, friendship and losing one’s self once you get married.

But back to the photos. Snagged these from Kathy and Alpha’s flickr accounts.

Yes, The Husband and Sandy were with me. Sherwin doesn’t want to leave my side anymore as he’s very convinced that I will give birth any minute.
