The Story of my Life

"If I could wish for my life to be perfect,
it would be tempting, but I would have to decline,
for life would no longer teach me anything..."

Wish List 2011

Posted by Claire | Labels:

I'm so not in the mood to work today. I'm sleepy, tired and my elbow's sore from badminton. So, in an effort to convert this lousy day into a happy one, I need to think of pleasant, exciting and happy thoughts. The only way to do that is to think of my birthday wish list.

Less than a month from now, I'll be turning 33. Wow! Never imagined I'd be 33 and sexy. NOT! Let's not go into that. Anyway, with my birthday fast approaching, I have to start thinking of what I want. hehehe

Here goes:

1. Balenciaga Motorcycle Bag. If my bestfriend is reading this, I'm sure she's going to have a mighty laugh knowing that I still haven't moved on from this. Just a background, a friend was selling her pre-loved Balenciaga bag to me a few months ago. I was sooooo interested, but had to decline because we just spent a fortune on my delivery, was going to spend another fortune renovating the new house, and most importantly, because the hubby didn't like it....Haven't stopped thinking about it ever since.

2. Blackberry phone. I think everyone is into blackberry except for the husbo and I. I heard that I can just add more or less P500 bucks to my monthly plan to get unlimited access to social networks such as Facebook, Yahoo Messenger and Twitter. Plus communicating with friends can be as easy as chatting while on the go.


3. Kenneth Cole Wedge Shoes. The first time I laid eyes on these pretty shoes, I fell inlove with it. I was still pregnant then and buying it would be a bad idea as I know my feet weren't in their perfect form. Now that we're going to buy it, they didn't have my size. We checked from every branch, but unsuccessful. So I don't know how we're going to get this.




4. A new pair of sunglasses. I've been using the same sunglasses since 2006 and honestly, I find it a little outdated now. So, I'm praying I could get one of those huge bumblebee like sunglasses with black frame, please.

5. To trim down to my pre-pregnancy weight. I think this one would be a gift from God if it happens. hehehe

6. Yankee Candles. I have this obsession on candles since we moved in to our new home. I already bought 3 sets of decorative candles and placed them in the bathroom and dining table. But what I really want are scented candles that serve as air freshener for the home. I already asked my friend to buy a couple from the states. But I think I'll need more.

I would also like to ask for books but I have so many unread books at the moment and they're all starting to pile up. So maybe, I'll skip that one for now.


So far these are the things I want for my birthday. If I have extra moolah, maybe I'll get myself a BB. Maybe.

New Toy

Posted by Claire | Labels:






One of the things I was happy to be rewarded with after giving birth was getting an iPad from the husbo. It was a toss up between a laptop (yes because my trusty Dell retired a few months ago) or an iPad, and despite the scarce supply of the iPad2 during that time, it still got my vote.



What got me so into the iPad was the thought that I could bring it anywhere and playing with it was as simple as tapping the screen. Not to mention it was light and sleek.



To date, the iPad has been my all-day, anywhere companion. It tags along wherever I go --mall, office, gym, even the bathroom. I love it because I can use it when surfing, catching up with my latest TV series, listening to music, reading the papers, taking pictures and videos of Kara's latest stunts, and so much more.



So happy with my choice. Thanks Hubby for this gift. Oh, and this post reminded me that I haven't baptized her with a name. Haven't thought of anything, actually, but suggestions are welcome.

As long as I'm living

Baby went on a crying fit last night after being disturbed from her peaceful sleep three times in a row. She was sobbing, screaming and coughing relentlessly out of frustration. Took me a few minutes to calm her down and when she did, she still made sounds that melted my heart away.



She fell asleep on my chest and didn't want to let go. It was a good 30-45minutes sleep . Whenever I would try putting her down, she'd give out a whimper and I'd find myself picking her up yet again. I was tired. I still had things to prepare for the next day's work but I hang on until she was peaceful. I was determined to do anything for her, to assure her that mommy will protect and take care of her, no matter what.

I'm back

Let me mark my comeback with a photo of my little girl, sitting on her new chair. This chair will, hopefully, relieve her yaya and us of having to carry her everytime she's awake. Also, this chair will give her the opportunity to look and appreciate the world around her. :)

Checking In

Posted by Claire | Labels: , ,

I know I have a lot of updating to do. A lot has happened since my last post that are post-worthy but I just couldn't buy the time to do so. Been busy enjoying motherhood with my sweet pea and fixing the new place.



In the meantime, let me leave you with a photo-essay of what's been keeping me busy.






Happy weekend everyone!
