I currently have TLC’s Birth Day on. Made me think about the shows I watched starting from when I knew I was going to settle down. I used to watch “Who’s wedding is it anyway?” and “Bridezillas”. And there was a lot of  House Hunters, My First Place and Property Virgins. Then most the design/decorating shows on HGTV which I still watch once in a while. Now it’s Birth Day or Baby Story. I don’t watch them regularly, only when I happen to see them on.

The last shows are the scariest and most uncomfortable to watch.

yesterday morning, i got awoken by a strong stab on my belly. it didn’t hurt but it was enough to wake me up to see kevin trying to quietly open the bedroom door. it took me a while to figure out that it came from my little one! he was probably trying to stretch his long legs :).

the rest of the morning after breakfast, i was sitting in front of the computer and he just wouldn’t stop. He wriggled and kicked for more than an hour! Btw, the ‘kicks’ didn’t hurt,  they’re more like flutters, but big ones.  So I sent a message to the guy about it and he said we should sign him up for soccer ASAP! and i replied maybe he just has ADHD (knock on wood!) and he couldn’t stay quiet!

So, the last episode (first ep of the season) revealed that Emma is still a virgin (and Sue Sylvester can Vogue it!).  Tatagalugin ko na, hindi naman applicable to my other readers (read: non-Pinoy) to eh. So, I have been wondering, ilan kaya sa mga kakilala ko ang virgin pa rin? And how many of them kaya ang naghintay talaga hanggang after kasal? I am pretty sure out na yung mga taga-UP. Not that isa ako sa kanila. Never been kissed kaya ako kahit natapos na ko ng college. yep, late bloomer here. 23 na nung nagkaboypren.  I know a classmate from HS, she would be the last one you’d think of pag sinabing di na virgin. Very tahimik at mahinhin (parang ako, hehehe) but then when we went to college, ay susmaryosep! halos naging idol ko sya! hehe. I still wonder where she is now…  dami kong kakilala who got married with their first and only bf.  Hanga pa rin ako sa ganon. One and only. But then again, bumabalik-balik pa rin ako sa tanong ng isa kong kaibigan na ganon ang ginawa. She said sometimes she wonders kung anong feeling ng kung anong feeling ng another person (hindi ko matagalog ng diretso yung sentence. ang weird!). And she thinks that we (me and her other friends) are lucky na naka-try kme  ng iba’t ibang putahe. (got that right!). Pero she’s happily married with two kids so I know naisip lang nya yon paminsan minsan. But hanggang don lang yun. …

so, anyway…. natutulog ako pagtatype. tutulog na po ako. i drove straight from home to work this morning and I am so tired. have to go back again to the office tomorrow to finish the work. ay shet. good night na nga!

The other day, I decided to walk to the store to get some beans for my rice and bean burrito (a very easy, yum-o recipe, if I may add). This is to the same store that I used to walk/run to when i want a donut :). It used to take me roughly 45 mins to the store and back, including the shopping. This time, it took me over an hour and 15! This was a 2-mi (3.2 km) walk and it took me that long!? I was carrying a heavy load (additional 10 lbs, with 20 more waiting to be added) with my knee not really cooperating, i was surprised that I survived that hill. Still, i think i should be doing better than this.

I am starting to feel jealous of my friends who seemed to have made running their career.  Dang, they look good!

in the last couple of days, i found myself finding really simple words and phrases that have been written wrong and it just bugs (enough that I am, once again, writing about it).

a facebook status (rephrased):  i am so sick. i called AND sick today.  (honey, isn’t it called in sick? )

an english teacher wrote: i weight 125 pounds today.  ( weigh, sweetie).

and even my husband corrected me the other night when I put a comma after the word “otherwise” used as a transitional element. I emailed him the next day with a link showing that I was correct.

and like i’ve said before, i am so critical of other people’s mistakes, but i don’t usually see my own (even though i am well aware of the fact that I write and use a lot of the wrong words most of the time, too!).  sorry.

what’s my point? nada.
