Roll on your stomach baby!

March 27, 2012 - 3 months and 2 days old Kaela


Woke up by my Mom's high-pitched scream. It was because Kaela rolled on her stomach - Kaela's first ever "dapa." We were somehow amazed and amused by this because they say that babies roll on their stomachs when they are around 6 months old. Many people told me that Kaela was so great that she was like an "advanced" child.

But when I read the book "Pregnancy & Childcare" by Jenny King, it was stated under the two months old category that "...he can roll on his stomach as if starting to crawl." So, it was really normal for two month old babies to roll  on their stomachs. Kaela can roll on her stomach easily, anytime, anywhere. She can also balance her head well while in this position though sometimes she also gets tired and will start crying.

Recently, Kaela rolls on her stomach while sleeping. I found it funny the first time I saw her did that. It was like she was exhausted. Just today, I've searched through the internet about this rolling of babies on their stomachs/tummies while sleeping and I've read that many are worried about this! Didn't care about this until now. Some babies may not be able to breathe properly in this position because they "bury" their faces on the mattress. This is really worrisome. Good thing Kaela turns her head to the side.  I'm hoping that Kaela would always turn her head to the side if ever she is going to sleep in this kind of position again.

Stripping off,

My Dasma Experience

March 23, 2012

I've finally got the time to go to La Salle Dasma to submit the other requirements needed. What I just need to pass that day was my official  NMAT result and 5 copies of 2 x 2 picture. I didn't know how to go there so I asked my oldies Ganda and Janssen, who both studied at La Salle Dasma, for the directions. Here's what they told me:  Sakay ng jeep papuntang Paliparan -> Baba sa Salawag -> Sakay ng tricycle papuntang Salitran. >-Tawid -> Sakay ng jeep papuntang DBB-C or Area C. I also asked my Mom and Leine on how would I know if I am in Salawag already. My mom said there's a stoplight there. Leine said it's kinda like a crossing.

Good thing there were passengers going to Salawag too. Then, those people who were going to Salawag said "Para" already. I was hesitating to get off the jeep coz the place didn't look like a "crossing." I was not seeing a stoplight nor a tricycle terminal as well. Though, the place looked familiar. So bumaba na rin ako. I followed the passengers and then I saw the tricycle terminal. There was a tricy going to Salitran but the space left is at the back (back ride). I didn't want to sit there coz I was arte-artehan. The guy inside sat at the back so we can leave. Thank God I didn't sit at the back coz it was like a roller coaster ride. It's not about the road but the speed.

I finally arrived at La Salle Dasma (HSI). I went to the office. When I was about to submit my requirements, the Sir told me "Miss, bukas ata blouse mo." And I was like O_O. Kalorkey. Andami ko pa namang nakasalubong! Haha. Anyway, submitting those requirements just took a few minutes in the office. I went out and had a rest at the couch. Across from me, I saw someone familiar - my high school classmate/friend Rachel. We had a little chit chat and catching up.

That day, I was also going to meet Leine and Nathan.

My funny weird tanga moment experience:
(text messages)

Nalie: Pupunta na lang ako diyan! Pano pumunta diyan?
Leine: Sakay ka ulit jeep papuntang Area C or Area F. Baba ka sa may Gate 1. Hindi sa maya Gate 3 (after ng hanging bridge). Sabihin mo na lang kay Manong driver na ibaba ka sa Gate 1.
Nalie: (Sakay sa jeep. Sa dulo pumwesto, which is far from Manong driver.)
Nalie: (May nakitang gate na after ng hanging bridge. Nilagpasan ang gate.)

*Jeep stopped at the gas station*
(actual)
Nalie to Kuyang La Salle student: Kuya, yun po ba yung Gate 3?
La Salle student: Opo.
Nalie: (Reads text Leine again making sure na sa Gate 3 ako dapat bumaba.)
Nalie: (May nabasang word na Gate 3.)
Nalie to Kuyang La Salle student: Thank you! :)
Nalie: (Bumaba sa jeep. Nilakad pabalik sa Gate 3.)

*Pagdating ng Gate 3*
(text messages)
Nalie: Dito na ko sa Gate 3. :D
Leine: Sabi ko hindi sa Gate 3 eh!
Nalie. O__o
Nalie: (...reads the text again.)
Nalie: WAAAAAH.
Leine: Upo ka na lang muna sa mga benches diyan.
Nalie. O sige.
Leine: Wag ka na alis diyan. Papunta na kami ni Nathan diyan.
Nalie: (Dahil di ako mapakali...) Leine, wag na kayo punta dito. Ako na lang punta diyan. Sakay na ko sa jeep.
Nalie: Baka magkasalisi na tayo, wag na kayo pumunta dito.

*Sakay sa jeep, papuntang Gate 1*
Nalie: *waiting waiting*
Leine: Nalie, nagkasalisi nga tayo. Andito na kami sa Gate 3. Diyan ka lang, punta na kami diyan. Wag kang aalis diyan.

Finally, nagkita rin kami! Haha! :D
*Those were not the exact text messages but the thought was the same.


So, we had our lunch at *forgot the name.* Hihi. During my "trip" to La Salle, I have been texting Tin about my whereabouts hoping that she could also go to La Salle. We already finished our lunch and there were still no signs of Tin. ...And then there was Tin. :P

I was too excited for this day that I forgot to bring my camera! Argh. So here are some of the pics from Leine and Tin. :D

Leine, Me, Tin

Me, Tin, and Nathan

About thirty minutes after Tin arrived, I went home already because my mom had been texting me to go home early and Kaela doesn't want to drink the formula milk. Kaela wants breast milk! Haha.

Kaela celebrated her 3rd month last March 25 so it was a good time to buy cupcakes from Leine. Yes, Leine is baking and selling cupcakes. :) Here's what I bought from her:

Cupcakes from The Bake Sale

Vanilla with buttercream frosting - PHP 285.00

I've been eating lots of chocolates during that week so I decided not to buy a chocolate cupcake. Looks pretty good right? It tastes pretty delicious as well! It feels like I'm eating a smaller version of cake. That's why it's called cupcake. Duh Nalie. Haha.

If you reside in Cavite, try buying cupcakes from Leine / The Bake Sale. Go check The Bake Sale page. :)

Super sulit! 

I miss sharing my experiences this detailed. I've got no one to talk to here. T_T

XOXO,

The Office Girl

March 10, 2012

It has been a while since I had taken a good picture of myself. I'm  actually more of a smiley smile girl when it comes to picture taking. Why? Because I look like shit when I don't smile. Haha. Though I find this shot pretty nice. Whatchathink? 

Vintage!

The matindi-ang-skiat-ng-araw face. :D

Office girl ang peg. I wanted to pair this top with a skirt but my fugly big thighs and legs won't allow me. So I'd stick to wearing pants. Hihi. Can you guess where am I? :) Yes I'm at SMX. This day, I went to another bridal fair. Haha. I'm not getting tired of attending bridal fairs! But this time, I was with my mom.  

There were "No picture taking" all around the place so I did not dare taking pictures. I just had pictures of me taken.

"The office girl."
Romwe top, Blanc Noir pants, Find n Flaunt shoes, Mendrez bag

My mom told me that she heard a lot of ladies saying, "Ang ganda ng shoes niya." I didn't hear any of those but I'd like to tell them, "Bili po kayo sa online shop ko." :D This was my very first time wearing a pair of heels this high. Yes, you heard me right. It is so ironic that I sell these kind of shoes yet this was my first time to wear one. Haha. I'm not really into heels because I can't stand for a long time wearing those. I have a heavy feet or should I say I'm heavy. When I started selling these kind of shoes, I was already pregnant. Even if I was drooling over those lovely shoes, I've got no time to wear one until this day. To my wonder, my feet didn't hurt even we walked around for about 5 hours. Whew. I also didn't imagine we stayed that long there.

Now, I'm having a hard time which Find n Flaunt shoes I'm gonna own next! Can't decide when there are lots to choose from!

XOXO,

NALIE
