I realized that I was doing opps and I don’t know when I should be paid or if I’ve already been paid.  So what I’ve been doing is keeping track of all the posts I’ve done in this database.  =) Obsessive much?

My yaya is very special. She has “illnesses” every 3 weeks. Sometimes it’s heatstroke, sometimes it’s headache, sometime’s it’s dysmi (her term for dysmenhorrea). Her timing is also amazing.  It usually happens when we need her the most. Like now for example. I begged my boss to allow me to work 11 hours every day so I can go on half day today as I need to take Andrea to the doctor for her IPV Vaccine. Yaya first left Andrea’s baby book….then after waiting for her for around 30 minutes in my lola’s house where I fed Andrea, gave her a bath and prepared the things for travel…she arrives and tells me she feels dizzy. What am I supposed to do? I can’t leave Andrea alone as her car seat is being fixed so she’s staying in a seat without a belt. Therefore she always needs someone beside her. I cannot drive while carrying Andrea.

What the hell am I supposed to do?  I can’t force  her to go with us as I will kill her if she drops Andrea.

December is considered a peak season for weddings in the Philippines. It’s that time of the year when suppliers are able to jack up their prices as couple after couple are running after them. I remember when I was preparing for my wedding I was overwhelmed by how hard it was to prepare. Imagine I had to book the church 16 months in advance!! It was that difficult.

It seems that this trend hasn’t changed this year as I am getting wedding invites left and right once again. Now,  when there’s a wedding of course there’s a wedding shower!!  It’s always so difficult finding the perfect gift for these showers.  There are just so many things to consider. If you are giving something then it’s best that it can be enjoyed by both the bride and the groom. We wouldn’t want the groom to feel left out would we?

Lingerie would of course be a cute gift but then again there’s the problem of not knowing the correct size. Imagine how offensive it would be if you gave a woman a bra that’s 2 sizes smaller….or what if you gave the man briefs that’s smaller. You could make instant enemies right there and then!

I think adult games or erotic games would be a safe bet. This is something the couple can enjoy together and you wouldn’t have to worry about finding the correct size.  Your only concern would be finding an adult toy store where you can find these games. I know there’s one in Metrowalk and a few in Malate but I always feel uncomfortable  stepping inside. I always feel like people are watching me and judging me…hahaha…am I paranoid or what? It’s true though, I’ve gone to one store in Malate and when I went out I felt like people were staring. I wanted to wear a sign which says “It’s NOT for me, It’s for a friend!”
