Was tagged by Niko. Thanks Sis, you made my day busy...hehehe. For first time mom like me i'll share you my wish list for all the things I want to buy before baby comes home. I dream of having a baby boy so expect that all stuff with a touch of blue.

Carrier or Sling - For some cases that i'd like to carry my baby close to me and keep my hands to do anything around the house, shopping or just going out.
Bath Soap, Shampoo, Lotion and Powder - I put Johnson products on the picture shown above... I don't really know if i'd be using the same one or i guess i'll wait for the advice of the doctor when the baby comes.
Bath Tub - I remember in the province mothers used the basin when bathing the baby or the others lay the baby in thick cloth where it absorbs the water.
Books - I've read that even the baby is an hours old reading is a great bonding experience. It's the voice of the mothers which is important and not necessarily the words.
Bottles - Diffinitely i'll breast feed my baby for a months and when i started to work again i'll stop it so i need the bottles.
Bouncy Chair - I'm not certain if i'd really buy this item but since it's just a wishlist better to add it on the list.
Changing Table - If the yaya requires me to have it, so i'll buy it but if not.... then good.
Cloth Diapers - Of course this is not for the baby but for me to use for just about anything - burping, spills, cleaning up spit up, roll up to use as head and neck support etc etc.
Clothes - My baby needs to wear something!
Crib - I'd prefer to co - sleep with the baby at night and during the day i'll let him sleep on the crib so i would not have any worries that he might fall down in bed.
Diaper Bag - It's best to have it when you're going out.
Diapers - Disposable diaper, Cloth or combination of both. Outside the house and at night i'd be using disposable and cloth during the day.
Diaper Pail - I don't know if it's really necessary. Just adding it on the list.
Diaper Wipes - Just adding on the list also.
Hooded Bath Towel - This is best for little ones and they say the cotton material is gentle against sensitive skin.
Onesies - I think this goes with baby clothes.
Rocking Chair - I've never seen my cousin or neighborhood buying this thing when they have a new born baby. I remember they'd just buy for that "duyan" that will help their baby sleep well by simply making a slow movement.
Sleep Sack - Simply adding again on the list
Stroller - It's more comfortable for me and the baby to have this for sure.
Thermometers - This is to monitor the baby's temperature.
I don't know if this are enough?
A new baby is like the beginning of all things - wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities.

Sometimes in marriages fight occur and one or both people get hurt at what is said. Wish we are exempted from these...but we're not. Just recently we had a big fight and it was just because of me. I'm a superb hardheaded! I seldom listen to him. I go for whatever is right for me and now i go beyond the limit. So expect the worst scenario like exchange of harsh words, throw things around (like what had happened to my mobile which he thrown to the wall), kick, punch or slap (ako lang) or i will leave the room and slam the door.

Every couples know that the best part of fighting is making up. And i've got 5 ideas from the internet of how making up should revolve as a ritual.

1. Making love is one great way to show forgiveness and understanding. (Hahahaha, you read my mind, needless to say)

2. Fixing their favorite meal. (Like always)

3. Going out to a special place or favorite hang out. (Sometimes)

4. Giving them a card or gift showing your love and calling a truce. (No time, hehehehe)
5. Openly telling them how much you love and appreciate them, despite the differences. (Oh yeah)
I will always love this part of our life as couple...making up.

Stubborn as I am, i manage to leave even if he furiosly say NO! I understand, he wants me to stay but i cannot just turn down an invitation on the last minute. I expect him to come with me but he prefer to stay home and sleep.
I can stay if i want to.....but seems i need to breathe for a while. For the past days that we are fighting, all i want is to leave, leave and leave. Today the moment i'm out of the building, i feel a sudden relief.
I'm sure he's real mad at me now.

All Saints Day!

They attend Mass together. She's late for the 5:30 afternoon Mass so they wait for the 7:30 Mass since the next mass is French. While waiting, she lights the candle and offers a little prayer for love ones who passed away.

Then they go inside the Church even the French Mass is on going. She kneels down for a while to say a little prayer. Before the Angelous she asks him if who is his favorite saint but he did not reply. She thinks that maybe she can tell him the story of her favorite saint after the Mass.

The Mass ended, she suggest that they better walk than to wait a bus for an hour with a very little chances to take it since hundred of passenger is already waiting. He agrees.

Nothing seems so sweet for a couple hurriedly crossing the road hand and hand. He slightly pulls her hand so they can cross the pedestrian road before the traffic signal turns red. They walk through the sandy park before crossing the next signal because the road is close and it is the easiest way to pass. They're almost half the way. Its the last signal they have to take and they almost argue whether to cross the road or not even if the traffic signal is red since the vehicles are not moving.

Few blocks before they reach their home they agree to dine outside. 5-6 Km is a bit tiring to walk and run but they didn't mind. For her it is the best time they had on the road.
