Since Hubby and I got married, he always had this dream of having a huge LCD TV with LCD mount. He wants an entertainment room that goes with it. With soundproof walls. Because he wants to sing in this room with his friends. Well, I don't sing (that much) but he does so sometimes I would go and sing with him. But, I'm not going to go through that here (you know, me, singing, LOL). Anyway, I don't know when he will have this dream of his but who knows, maybe someday.
That's what you will usually hear from Alex these days. "Mama, I'm a big girl now." And with that my heart would melt. She is taking her role as an Ate SERIOUSLY. I remember when we were at the in laws and they had a visitor who carried Andie for a short while. She was so nervous that this stranger might get Baby A and leave. LOL. She kept on saying, "A! A! Don't get A!". She was almost in tears. Aaawww. I guess she loves her baby sister that much! She eats on her own now most of the time. But when she is in front of the TV she would forget that she is eating! The sad thing lately is that she doesn't want to take a nap anymore. :( Oh! She can also tell if she wants to make wee-wee and poo. Although there are still accidents which she just recently did in a sandbox in her school (aargh!). But other that, she is doing well. Hmmmm....is it a sign that we are now ready to go to those Orlando vacations that I really, really want to check out with the kids? Hmmmm...I really hope so!
Yes! The best appetite suppressant - that's what I need right now!
I can say that my appetite has grown big time ever since I gave birth and started breastfeeding. But now that I'm planning to stop it I need to watch out on what I eat and how much I eat. You see, I can't take not having snacks in between meals. I get hungry all the time!
Although people said that my appetite will change when I stop breastfeeding, I still want to make sure that I won't gain too much again when that time comes!
It's been awhile since I've been tagged. So thanks for this Eds!
Let me share this Irish Blessings’ friendship proverb:
“May there always be work for your hands to do, may your purse always hold a coin or two. May the sun always shine on your windowpane, may a rainbow be certain to follow each rain. May the hand of a friend always be near you, may God fill your heart with gladness to cheer you.”
Now, I'm still thinking if I will go to the mall later to buy some KVM switches or probably will do it tomorrow.

Yes, I'm still here!
I just couldn't update my blogs because I've been having trouble with my internet connection since Sunday night.
Gosh, I hate GLOBE DSL!
We've only been using this for 2 months and we've been having a whole LOT of problems with our connection.
Aaargh!
Anyway, we are trying to re-apply for our previous account with PLDT. I just hope that the port is still available...
Since it has been 2 months since I last visited my Endo, I decided to go and see her last week.
Well, it didn't go well as I've expected.
My average blood sugar is now 5.4 which used to be only 5.0. I noticed that my endo is always giving me bad news. You see, I've been trying very, very hard to control my sugar intake, but I guess I'm not very successful. I guess it's partly my fault because I've been eating a lot of sugary stuff for the past 3 months. HA! These are the goldilocks treat, bread talk's floss and I recently discovered the egg surprise. Nestle's Belgian Bliss and Selecta's Berry Strawberry. Yum!
So there.
I'm having second opinion. I'm going to see a new Endo a week after next and see if the new endo won't recommend a pre-diabetes maintenance. I'm still breastfeeding so I still can't drink any meds. If I'm at the point that I would need to drink medicine, I would probably buy in bulk or in wholesale so I can get it cheaper.
I realized that even if I vowed to be healthy, I'm not being true to my word because we made almost all our weekends our "junk weekend". No wonder I'm not losing weight anymore that I would need a diet pill just to have my pre-pregnancy weight back.
"Junk Weekend" means McDonald's for snacks on Friday, pizza as our snack on Saturday or Sunday and a take out food for Sunday dinner.
Really, really bad food. Not to mention chips and cake in between meals when we are in the mall.
I have to change this habit. ASAP.
1. Alex is enjoying summer school!
