my new addiction ... ebay






i am just so proud of my ebay bid hehehe!! 34 pcs of girls baby clothing for 3.60 ausd...not bad for a 1st timer ...they are pre-loved but well looked after and since babies grow faster than we think its a money well saved. Also a high chair and a baby rocker for 46 ausd from a fussy mum she really looked after her lil girl things... i wonder how all the stuff i had looks like after my bub finished using them... i bet i can't sell them again on ebay...but me and Rob had a better idea and that is give is away back home.

10 more weeks and i am going to be a mum of 2 girls, the longest part i think it seems like its 9 more months. I am getting bigger and bigger and heavier as well. I havent done so much and not prepared much I have the baby's clothes ready and packed in case i am going to give birth early but not the nursery. Still got no flooring in the room i am planning to set it up, i got no cot and changer yet , i wish my brother Jojo's visa will be approved so i have had a help in all my to do list. Oh i forgot i already had a pram... one of Rob's student who had a pinay partner gave us a pre-loved graco pram still in good condition and just the one i needed for picking up izzy in pre-school.
school holidays...love it!! hate it!! Love it because we are out of our routine and can sleep in most of the mornings also time to be lazy and watch Oprah and Dr. Phil . Hate it because Izzy is in the house the whole day and she gets bored , we had several plans for the 2 weeks vacation and we wasted 2 days of it today because of me being lazy and want to finish my ironing and laundry first. Rob is still on night shifts for almost a month now and I pity him by waking him up just to drive us around to our schedule. So i am in my friends mercy again to pick us up and bring us home. Moral lesson you should be able to drive before going to other country esp. if staying for good!!!! miss ko no mag tricyle at pedicab.

busy sched




despite claiming of being busy and tamad ...analyse was right pre-schooler had lots of schedule too. Izzy's calendar is full as well and our weekly routine though monotonous its TIRING!!! 4 days a week she goes to kindy from 12nn to 3pm then friday her swimming lesson so our weekdays is full of izzy's sched... i am really bargaining her enrollment to proper school next year (1st term) but she is 2 weeks younger and the school administrator said that its a policy not to admit kids under 5 yrs old in public school, why public school ?


1)because its very near the house 5 mins walk from our doorstep to schoolground, very good for me and the baby since i dont know how to drive yet ...all i need is a pram...


2) check the school facilities and its so high tech and mind blowing


3) most of her pre-school classmates are going to same school ...


4) we can't afford to put her in private school


but she can be admitted in private school in her age ...meaning if you have all the money in the world the rest is history...


well... the pix is saying i am busy socializing as well... they are my 1st few friends i have her...wena in white too she is moving to Darwin( fr visayas) and riza ( from batangas) my pinoy food buddy her son TJ (Batman) is Izzy's classmate in swimming lesson

ebay and pregnancy!!!

hay... allow this pregnant mum to be lazy most of the time hehehe, actually i am not as lazy as u might even think i am just having a new addiction and since all addiction it is i am really into it. Yeah i am into ebay (ukay in pinas) and loving it...all my limited productive time is infront of the computer bidding for baby things, so far so good, i spent 49.60 ausd for 3 baby items :
1) 20 ausd - baby rocker that is so pink
2) 26 ausd - for a high chair that is barely used
3) 3.60 ausd - u wouldnt believe 36 pcs of pre-loved baby girls clothes sizes 0000-0
so happy with my purchases and since it was my first time and all the items were picked up the last item i was really waiting for my change and Rob said it cost him more on petrol wating than the 1.40 ausd i am waiting for malay ko ba.. 50 pesos na din un noh! Sayang i have deleted the pix on my ebay account but ull see it soon when my bub is using it. And since my husband is a good neighbour (as he is claiming) one of our generous kb(kapitbahay) gave us heaps of baby girls clothes that i have enough for the bub until she will be size one not to mention all of Rob's relatives and friends ( and my 2 friends too) who are all excited with the baby like us. Sana wag na damit i really had enough ... toys will be great or other stuff that baby needs like cot, changer etc..( hahahaha namili ba) or nappy though i opted to use environmentally friendly nappy as social responsibility.
