Its 3AM and I'm still working, from February of this year, we've been doing overnights at work, testing the system that we are about to launch this October. I'm missing my Hermione =(. This morning I convinced my hubby for us to take our little angel out-of-town if our schedule permits, I just hope we'll find the time...maybe after the "launch" and before I start the kiddie party business....
Hermione's 1st birthday was a blast! I was really pleased, it was all worth the preps we went through. I'm looking forward to her next birthday that we intend to celebrate at an orphanage - I just have to find one.
Being a mom and having a full-time career and business on the side is what's keeping me away from blogging.
I start my day by breastfeeding my baby while E takes care of bringing the things that Baby H will be needing for the day then we will take a bath one at a time so someone would look after Baby H. Then we will turn her over to my mom, then I will begin to miss my baby while I work - I'm truly good at multi-tasking. At night, if I'm lucky enough that my baby is not that sleep, we could spend some time playing, then I will clean ourselves up before going to sleep.
Fortunately, I don't have weddings anymore so my schedule permits me to be with my family during weekend.

E went to Singapore last week, I realized that its hard to be a single parent, imagine, I have to do everything all by myself. The only consolation that I have is that he gets to bring a rocker and booster seat for Baby H and tons of Giordano shirts for himself, not to mention that I got to splurge a little for chocolates and chips at Duty Free, yey!

How time flies, Baby H is now 5 months old, look at her now:
Well, I've been busy being pregnant, I gave birth last September 14 to a healthy and beautiful (like her mom hehe) baby girl, we named her Hermione Jen Amidala.
Now, I'm about to go back to work in a few days, I will really miss my baby and being a full time mom but at this point - I really need to go back to work.
I recovered early from my CS operation because of my will, to take care of my baby - full time without any help aside from my hubby. As sleep-deprived as I am but I can still manage to do wedding preps and work on my baby's baptismal - I guess I'm a supermom after all.
Being a mom changed me in so many ways, I've become a better person because of my little one. I've never smile and laugh more in my life than these past month, just looking at her makes me wonder how lucky I am for having her.
Hubby and I finally got the chance to buy a vacuum cleaner which is a "must-have" for cleaning the car, also,it will be a little handy for cleaning our little apartment. I also found this gorgeous "red dress" at one of the newly open shops in Trinoma, I was able to buy also MrBuncs a nice-looking white polo. It has been my duty eversince we got married to be his personal shopper, to the point that, he can't buy his stuff on his own without consulting me hehe
I'm trying to loose weight by popping slimming pills, one of my clients offered it to me, since she has a great sales pitch, I found myself carrying it with me. The effect? Well its makes you thirsty BIG TIME! I'm not a water person, I will be drown to have 3 full glasses in a day, but now, I've been galloping water even before I close my eyes. The tendency is you loose appetite since you're full from the water intake. I'm weighing 124 lbs. when I started taking it, its not that I'm fat, its just that I'm not used to being 120+ lbs. its so frustrating that I can't wear most of my clothes now and that's justify my shopping hehe.
MrBuncs is itching to buy the digital SLR that he wants, he found a store somewhere in manila selling digital SLR - very cheap but original - cash basis only. He will be going there tomorrow while me and my mom will be shopping at Divi hehe. I want to start my christmas shopping as early as now, I don't want to be rushing come christmas season.
And I thought it was a work-free weekend...I'm terribly mistaken....
After 2 hours badminton game with my friends, office works begin as if its not weekend, I begged off not to do the article that we need to release - I settled my self to just coordinating things with our PR Man, my Boss and my staff. I had lunch with my friends and coffee while discussing things over...I'm not in the mood to talk so I just listened to them. Then we shopped around, I bought 2 gifts for a niece and a friend's baby whose celebrating their 1st birtday. We went home around 7PM.
Today, I managed to cook for lunch - what else but my ever famous sinigang. I went back and forth to my paternal house just to check my emails since we opted not to have internet in our apartment. I intend to have a nap but still can't have the luxury of time to do it since I'm literally working at home, hay. So just to lighten up things, I decided to write about it.
Yesterday, MrBuncs's doctor dropped the bomb on us by saying that he needs to undergo operation since one of his veins is causing the fertility problem, we decided to seek 2nd opinion and to try other alternative cure before we pursue operation. Of course, I don't want my hubby to be laying at the operation table as much as possible. I've been whining to my friends, how life can be soooo pathetic and unfair, there are several people there who doesn't want to have children, to the point of having it aborted or thrown to streets, while me, who is achingly willing to have babies - even one baby - is having a hard time. We will just have to submit ourselves to His will - and no matter what, I will always love my dear hubby.

Last Friday night, we found ourselves annoyed with the fact that someone or something hit the back of our car while it was parked. Of course, hubby was so apologetic and terrified with my reaction that I just brushed it off with a smile, of course I hated it when our things get scratched but I can't blame him since its not his fault, we can't help that some bastards are not responsible enough to accept the consequence of their actions. Hmp!
I'm here in the office, sitting in my chair, we just called off a system test. Actually, I'm just waiting for MrBuncs to finish up some techie stuff that he needs to do. For 1 month, this will be the first work-free weekend that I'll have.Hay.
It's been a tiring month, tomorrow, me and my friends will be hitting the badminton court then grab a lunch while MrBuncs will have to bring our car to the service center for PM, he'll then go to St.Lukes for the result of his ultrasound. Early this year, we decided to stick seriously with our appointments with the doctors concerning our reproductive health, we really want to have children after our church wedding and its been really frustrating that we're still childless, blame it to our demanding and stressful job. I've been thinking and seriously considering resigning eversince last year, I just don't have the heart to do it - perhaps not until the end of this year.
MrBuncs is encouraging me to give up my job - I have 3 months to go to think things over. I hope God will give me a sign. Our "business" is doing well now, aside from me doing part-time wedding coordination. Although, most of the weddings we have are not until next year. Hay. Decisions....Decisions...Decisions....
Its just that I will miss being all that busy but I'm sure I'll find a way to make myself busy.
