Hubby and I woke up with the loud cries of Ate A. She was crying so hard and calling out her Dada. Here's what I heard from them at 2 in the morning the other day...
Dada: What happened? Did you have a bad dream?
Ate A: Waaaaaah (still crying)
Dada: It's ok, if you had a bad dream, it's not real. It's ok.
Ate A: Dada in the plor. Dada in the plor. (translation: Dada is in the floor. Dada is in the floor.)
Dada: Why? What happened to Dada?
Ate A: Dada in the plor. Dada hit the plor. (translation: Dada is in the floor. Dada hit the floor.)
Dada: Oh, ok. It's nothing. It's just a dream, go back to sleep.
Ate A: Dada, don't hit the plor again ha. Don't hit the plor in your opis ha.
Dada: Ok, I won't hit the floor Ate A...
Ate A: Don't hit the plor ha...
LOL! She was so funny! She never fails to make us laugh. :D
Look at her now.
She is taking her role as an Ate very seriously. She wants to read books for Baby A every now and then. She wants to help me when I express milk. She shares her toys with Baby A. And when we had guests over the weekend, she gladly showed her room and let them borrow her toys. Such an angel! :)
Now, I'm off to check out some eyeglasses for my Mom who is asking me to find some over the net.
I almost forgot to post this! I couldn't believe that I haven't posted this for 2 weeks already!

I miss weekends such as our previous weekend. We didn't have much appointments that we just stayed almost at home and had time to relax a bit. I realized that I badly need to sleep more. Andie has been waking us still in the wee hours of the morning to feed.
Well actually I stayed home while Hubby brought the kids to their pedia. I was sooo tired I begged off. Good thing I was able to sleep for 2 hours while they were away. And by dinner time, Hubby's college friends came over for dinner and we had drinks afterwards. Alex had a great time entertaining her friends. They played all night until 12 midnight. She didn't take a nap in the afternoon that's why I was amazed at how she stayed alert and hyper. I guess that's how playmates can do to kids, right?
And then yesterday, Sunday, we just stayed home until 3pm and then went to High Street for snacks. I loved the weather yesterday and it was even better when we were at the High Street. A bit windy for Andie though. She was getting cranky but when we wrapped her in her blanket she suddenly fell asleep.
We didn't do shopping this weekend. Even if we planned on getting some tv stands because we were too tired to check out the mall. Probably next time.
So, how about you? How was your weekend?
Well, in case you were wondering why I lost so much weight, it's not because I've been taking some diet pills. One of the major reasons why I lost weight is because of breastfeeding. Well, I assume that it is because of breastfeeding. Next would be the sleepless nights.
You see, when I was pregnant, I could sleep like a maximum of 10 hours. So my body must have been used to sleeping that long! Boy, I miss those days. Recently, Andie has been sleeping straight 4 to 5 hours already. Although there are times that she asked for milk every 2 to 3 hours as well but Hubby takes care of that.
But now, I've been craving a lot of junk foods. I don't know why though, now that I vowed to be healthy this year! Aaaargh! Hopefully I would get over this and move on to my "healthy" lifestyle soon.
Just as I was browsing some office furniture for my mini office at home when my online friend Dez gave me this Love Ya Award the other day! How sweet of you Dez! Thank you so much sis! ;)

We had a full weekend but I can say that I'm happy on how it turned out. All our plans pushed through and a sleepless night didn't stop us from having breakfast.
Last Friday we get to see the band of our friend's Dad in Libis. It was a rock and roll night and we had a great time, not to mention I was able to unwind for just a few hours. It was good to have that time alone with Hubby and our friends even for once a week only. We called it a night at around 12 midnight. Oh, and I got a long stem red rose from the restaurant. :D
Then on Saturday, since we always wake up early on weekends because of Baby A, we decided to push through with our plan to have breakfast as our date for the Vday. Oh, it was such a breeze - no traffic, weather was great (not too hot), and not too many people. We had breakfast at Portico in Serendra.
We've been wanting to have breakfast there for months already. Ever since I read Anton's post in OurAwesomePlanet.com, I've been wanting to try that hot chocolate he mentioned. You see, I loved Sonya's hot chocolate so much that every time we are in Tagatay, I would always want to try it. Sometimes I'm lucky, sometimes I'm not. So I really look forward to this hot chocolate right here in Manila.
Anton was right, it was indeed heavenly! It was very similar to Sonya's. The Spanish style (I remember my Mom called it sikwate) that makes me reminisce on my childhood days in the province. I remember our Christmas eve would never be complete without this heavenly drink. Anyway, I'm glad that they have it. I will definitely go back here for this drink.
For our take on the food that we ordered, watch out for it in my other blog.
After breakfast we bought Chocolate Mousse from Conti's which we will serve for dinner with my family. I was surprised that there were a lot of people eating there already! Conti's is really something!
I wasn't happy with the mousse though. Nothing special.
We got home just in time for Andie's bath. After preparing the kids we went to Jollibee (as promised to the little girl). I also inquired and got the packages in that branch for Alex's 3rd birthday party. We settled everything and paid the downpayment.
And then the highlight of my day - I bought some flowers from Dangwa. I realized that we were in the area near Dangwa already. You know, the place where you can buy really cheap flowers. Since we planned on giving some for my family (Mom, sister, and brother), I asked the Manong on how to get to that place. I was surprised that he said I can just walk and it was a block away from where we were. So off I went, and I was able to buy two wonderful bouquet of flowers!
The first one I bought for my family. The second one I bought for myself. :D
I know, it should have been Hubby giving me flowers right? But he chose to give me Royce chocolates (which I definitely preferred) than giving me flowers worth more than a thousand bucks! Thanks sweetie! ;)
We were able to go home early. Good thing we took the long way to avoid the traffic.
The dinner was great! My Mom brought kani salad, chicken, tacos, lumpiang shanghai. I asked our help to cook tuna pasta. I ate a LOT that I'm even thinking of getting the best diet pills already. My brother brought red wine. It was just a simple dinner but we definitely had fun! Tita Trish gave Alex gummi burgers and gave us three pink roses. My Mom gave the kids cute balloons too.
It was indeed about family on Valentine's day. After all, this day is all about being with people we love, right?
How about you? How was your Valentine's day?
Coming up next, another family day last Sunday.
I can't believe that it's been a year since Hubby surprised me with a romantic dinner at our veranda (posted it here.) It was so unexpected! I wonder if he will surprise me again tomorrow. LOL! Just kidding...
So, what are your plans tomorrow?
I'm sure the traffic is going to be so bad so Hubby and I are planning to have breakfast instead. That is, if we wake up early and if we wake up energized. Especially now that Andie is waking up at 3AM!
And then after breakfast we will bring Alex and Andie to Jollibee. We've been giving Alex promises of taking her there. It's hitting two birds in one stone actually since we are going to the branch where Alex will celebrate her 3rd birthday with the cancer patients of UST hospital. Hopefully if we like the place we will pay the downpayment already and give them the details that we want for the party.
For dinner my family will come over our place. I'm cooking tuna pasta while my Mom will bring chicken and tacos. Yum! I'm sure it will be a blast!
Come Sunday we will go to the in laws for a family day. If the weather is good, Hubby and Alex will swim.
Well, I guess it is going to be a busy weekend after all.
So will greet you all early since I don't think I can go online tomorrow...
Happy Valentine's day, everyone! Share some love tomorrow and the rest of the days!
(*wink*)
