some of ''only in Oz" animals



i am a lil bit scared with the kangaroo bec. i have seen videos how they kick people and be nasty , but seeing my daugther not scared and so brave to touch them so go na din ako. I feel a bit guilty as well bec. they taste so yummy ( meat so lean, no cholesterol ) but such a gentle animal pala. The smaller one on top with the enu has a joey in her pocket but decided not to show us, like any mom she is really protective.

so this are my 2 girls... i am 5 months preggy . Finally took the courage to display my tummy that everyone is mistaken as 7 months . My ultrasound shows that the bub is normal in her size and age and I only gained 2 kls since my morning sickness stops but i got lots of fluid that makes my tummy so big and the reason why i can feel the kicking early because she got all the luxury to move freely anywhere in her little world.
I got emotional when we found out it was a girl during the ultrasound last tuesday , maybe because of expectations or mind set that we wanted a boy since the start even Izzy calls my tummy baby brother . I got no idea just maybe an emotional roller coaster of being "buntis" ( tnx I got the excuse) and the fact that we cannot get the video because we are unfortunately been into the latest machine they have and it was not yet set up for dvd recording so we need to book again if we really want to repeat the procedure. Ayun lalong naiyak ang lola, just a few hours of melt down and a nice chicken soup in scoop on the way home plus our visitor Sonya gave me me a nice hand bag which i am desperately wanted to have but can't afford . Then we decided to go to the movie ( tuesday is a cheap ticket day 6ausd less) batman dark knight so i feel better when we go home.

baby kicking...mum balooning

its a nice feeling that my bub finally show some signs from the world he is into and sharing it to us...he started to kick me, even Rob feels his kick every now and then when he puts his hand on my ever balooning tummy. Rob reaction was so unexplainable i thought he was not affected or excited at all but i have learned that he just hide his excitement because when friends came around he is boasting about it that the baby now kicks. ( i used ''he'' but we will soon know the gender )

All of my friends were asking bagong pix naman ni izzy ... as if ! they just wanted to see how big i am now bec. i keep on telling them over the phone na sobrang laki ko with my 2nd pregnancy . Next week after ng vacation namin post na talaga ako ng bagong pix para hindi lang bahay namin lagi background you can see some places here in South Australia as well.

blogging life...pinoy lifestyle

so many things to learn in this area..but i am enjoying it hopefully i will soon have a better blogsite in the near future and have the one that will enjoy my visitors to read and interact as well.

Sunday is SAHM's day off as well, just like all the nannies back in PI,HK, SING, CANADA all over the world?? I just sit on the couch and watch TFC the whole day from citizen pinoy to ASAP sayang i miss my GMA programs hehehe but even if your a die hard kapuso when your outside the country it really doesn't matter kapamilya man o kapuso o kababayan o kapinoy man yan... a taste of lil pinoy whatever, will ease the homesickness just like my husband bought my ''walis tambo'' from baguio in one of the asian shops because the one we have is about to retire. So I already cooked the lunch and tea for today so that i am not going to do anything aside from cleaning the dishes after tea (dinner) then watch my OZ fave program BIG BROTHER , i personally enjoying watching it to Rob's expense (he hates it)because its a new culture to observe ibang-iba sa pinoy version bait kasi ang pinoy to the extent minsan corny na or OA .

Kaya this week i have had a fair taste of pinoy food cooked in pinoy way and eaten in with a pinoy family nanay and tatay from Batangas, sarap talaga ng galunggong at tilapia walang kapares ang bagoong balayan at kalamansi at pinangat na tilos sa sukang datu puti with ginisang kangkong 10ausd 2 tali ..hay buhay pinoy sa ibang bansa , i tried to grow talbos ng kamote before but dries out last summer even the ampalaya namatay naman ngaung winter. Anyways my pinay friend here has the luxury of time and money to go to Melbourne and buy tilapia and all the pinoy stuff in a much, much cheaper price as compare here in Adelaide the reason pinoy community there is balooning as compare here so there are 2 pinoy talipapa in the market ''daw'' that sells all the fresh seafoods we love.

Rob went home from work telling me its in the paper that SA ( South Australia) will be hiring migrant workers here from the Philippines 10,000 skilled workers and they even called the article creating ''little Manila in SA'' so mga kababayan apply na sa qualified employment agency dyan sa Pinas and ''see yah later'' ( this means see u soon hindi talaga later )

pregnancy and all..

well most of the topic here may consist more of my second pregnancy and my first born's development... as my friend was saying that she feels guilty somehow with the second pregnancy in a way because of so many reasons , i felt the same way as well maybe because of the following reasons in my own opinion



1. not the first time anymore

2. got the first one to look after

3. more confident

4. work , work and work ( needs more moolah increasing mouth to feed)



but it does not mean we love or care less with the next one just that mum is really becoming a good and confident mum indeed..but not too confident every pregnancy is different

the real thing!!!!! finally...yipeeee...

i am like a lil girl who finally had the toy that i really wanted...a website/blogsite to post my ''ownrealme'' to update my family and friends about the new life we have just started all the way ''down under''

which reminds me of my Izzy she had this facination about "BEADOS" for a week now and she folded the catalog toy to the page where we can always see it and reminds us all the time that she wants that toy, given that she had heaps of pre-loved and new toys combined I am particularly testing her if she will stick to her desire toy...two days past she still like the "beados" 3,4, 5, 6 ,7 days past and mum gave up she really like the "beados" so she knows what she wants, since Rob is now working and I still don't know how to drive we both need to wait for him after work before going to the toy shop and to her dismay and my feeling guilty the "beados" that she wanted was now out of stock. So we end up buying the refill instead and going to wait for the real one until they have the stock...tsk,tsk,tsk..guilty pa din ako
