dangit, i have a stiff neck...it hurts when i move my neck to the left. It must be cause of how I slept last night. SUCKS!

I'm getting depressed-more and more..knowing that my days at home and the baby will be ending soon. ahhhhh......HELP!

Oh ya, we got our NEW Razr phones with Cingular on Monday. I'm so frickin' happy about it! We have full reception at home, so we don't have to use the expensive landline!

I'm still trying to put Jordan's baptism invites together. I kind of ran out last night. The evite already went out, but I'm still sending out paper ones. I still have to canvas on cute baptism favors.

We brought my mom to the airport last Sunday. She's in PI-for a total of 17 days.

We have to leave soon. I have to bring Jiselle to her optometry appt. Nako!

I'm telling you...the days are flying!

And...still no word from Sutter or Kaiser.

Myra's lucky-She'll be going to Maui next week. Lucky ass biotch! jk. haha. I wanna go, too.

Gosh, i can't believe how sick I got. I wonder where I got it from. I've had the stomach flu since Sunday. I suddenly got sick when we were at the Folsom Outlets. I started to get cold, achy all over, and felt really nauseous. I threw up after watching "Desperate Housewives", threw up on Tuesday, and just now, Thursday, I feel a little better-a bit stronger. I had to lie down 24 hours of the day. Ken stayed home with me and the baby yesterday.

Well, Jo's baby shower was on Sat. Good turnout! It was a baby fest! =) Cries here and there-It was cute!













oh ya...i did get to visit my lola and my aunt in Stockton. I was so nice to see them. I missed them...and i guess I felt close to my dad after seeing them.

Friday, we waited til my sister came home from school so we can all leave for the bay. My sister took care of Jordan til my mom came home from work. Ken got his haircut. I bought some stuff from Tatak. We ate at the vietnamese restaurant in UC. Then we went to Myra's house. Funny how Jiselle tried to spit out her gum out on the sidewalk, but instead got all over her hair. I had to cut some of hair out. DORK!

We hung out at Myra's until her wedding ehearsal started. I tried ro help out Myra with some last minute stuff. The rehearsal went smoothly, then we were off to Rose Garden for dinner. Dinner was good. Ken was able to reserve for Jordan's baptism. COOL!

We checked in to our room at the Radisson-where Myra and Edwin had rooms blocked at a special rate. Ken was knocked out cause he wasn't feeling well. We made sure to get some OTC meds from Walmart after dinner.

Jiselle and I went to check out Myra and Edwin's suite since it was on the same floor and not at all far from our room. Me and her cousin were helping her sort out her place cards. We didn't finish til 1 in da morning..

Saturday morning...the alarm woke me up to "no no no no, don't phunk to my heart:. OMG. scared the crap out of me at 7am. I pumped Jordan some milk, took a shower...I applied my makeup by 9. Jiselle then took a shower and I went to check on the bride to be. Then I came back, panicking, thinking that I wouldn't have my hair curled on time. I did it my makeup and hair myself to save me some money. Cause you know I'm such a broke ass..hee hee,.

Well, I'm glad I was done with me and Jiselle way before we had to leave. I think I was done with myself before the other girls. Tess B. was busy doing everyone's makeup and this one hairstylist was doing everyone's hair minus to bridesmaids (me and Sheila).

When Myra got to the garden to take some pics, some annoying immature kids were f'ing with her saying stupid stuff like "ooohh wow..can we take pictures with you..ooh get us on camera" stupid ass soccer team. We had to get them yelled at.

So ya, took lots of pics before the limo picked us up.

When 1pm hit, we were off to the church.

Ceremony went great. The priest made a very good sermon. I thought it was so nice. Also, I did get a bit emotional.

After the ceremony, I rode with the hubby and Jiselle to Blackhawk to take more pics. I pumped more milk for Jordan on the way.

BTW-my dress didn't fit at all like the other girls. OH well. My boobs were down to my stomach and my dress didn't at all hug my body at all. It's ok.

Then after pics, we were back to the Radisson for the reception. I think it went well. Myra did mention to me yesterday, that there were lots of things that were forgotten. There were some changes. We didn't get to sign her sig matte cause it never got to us. darn. =(

There were some lil mishaps due to some weirdos that i won't mention at her reception. No worries though. Just a bunch of WEIRDOS.

I did have a bad tummy ache that came out of no where. I think cause I was so hungry and I ate too fast type of tummy ache.

But all in all, the reception turned out fine. And I loved being able to dance with the hubby. It's been so long....maybe since our wedding. lol. Dang!

We left around 10:30 cause we still had to pick up Jordan from my mom's. And we still had to drop off Jiselle to her auntie in Castro Valley.

Here are some pics. I wished I took more pics, but my battery died by time they went to cut the cake.











ok..the baby is getting cranky again. If anyone can get me a part time job at Kaiser or some hospital, please let me know. lol. I want to go back to work to quit. hee hee. I'm bad, I know.

This week, I've been trying to get the baptism invites done.

I've had some weird ass dreams, too. A lot with my dad in it.

Friday-We took a trip to the Bay. We passed by Ken's
work. Then went to Pleasanton to meet up with Myra at the Radisson. Picked up my BM dress from her and talked with her coordinator.

We had lunch at Sonics. YUM. I had this good ass Lemon Berry slush. Dang, that was good!

Saturday-We were feeling really lazy. I think it's the weather. Weird. And we've been feeling a lil groggy due to having cold symptoms. We went to Linens N Things, KB Toys, Target.

My mom came over and we all played "Life" with. ahha. I won! YA!

Sunday-We took a trip to Reno. We wanted to take Jiselle to Circus Circus. We were there for about 5 hours. We played games and had dinner at the Silver Legacy Buffet. Circus Circus always looked so big in the kids section. Now, it's a lot smaller. =)

We got home and we watched "Monster In Law". It was soo funny. I liked it and so did Ken.

Monday-In the morning, we watched "Monster in Law" again. hee hee. That's how much we liked it. We bought some groceries. My mom came over for dinner. Then we played "Life" again. Dude, this time I lost. Ken won. Darn!

Oh ya, I got my hair highlighted. My sister took me to her friend's mom that does hair. She does a good job. So yay, my hair is blonde again.

Today-another lazy day. I woke up late-around 10. Paid a couple bills. Talked to Myra for a little bit. Jiselle had CFF at 4pm. Ken got his carwash.

Ken's lovin' the In Demand feature...Dorko.

Tomorrow, I have to remember to get Jiselle's daycare to sign some paperwork for the Child Support process.

Dude, we haven't done any planning for the baptism yet. Talk about hella lagging.

Oh what's weird is that we were having Japanese food for dinner last week...I was looking at the window of this Eye Optic clinic and this one optometrist I used to work for in UC back in 96 or so, works here in Elk Grove now. Small world isn't it.

So I hear there's lightning outside. YIKES. I hope it doesn't rain on Saturday, Myra's wedding day.

I’ve decided to finally do it. I’m tired of having to ask for money from the sperm donor. It’s like “pulling teeth” for him. I just think that it’s so unfair that he doesn’t pay much. He just pays for half of daycare which I must mention-was late ALL the time. Only these past few months has he been sorta on time. He refuses to pay for the dentist bill if he’ll pay for her glasses. Let me mention that she is under my benefits and I pay for that each month. She is now in 2nd grade and he gave a check only 3 times for her lunch money. I remember when she first started kindergarten and he promised that each time he would bring her back from having her for the weekend, that he would always bring her snacks (juice, etc). That only happened ONE time. Yup, just one time. I haven’t even asked him to help me pay for clothes or necessary clothes for school like shoes I’ve paid for or school uniforms. The kid is growing and her pants start to look like floods over time.

Let me also say that when she does go to the bay to supposedly spend time with him, she’s at her grandparents’ house while he “works” on the weekend…Um…why would you pick her up if you have to work anyway? And that stupid shit he pulled on me last year about when she went to Peru. He said he was going and that they would only stay for 2 weeks. And she came back late-it was like more than a month in Peru so she missed a week of school. And to top that off, his ass never even went with her. She only went his parents!!!!!!!! And he has the nerve to want to take her AGAIN this coming year. NO FRICKIN’ WAY! When she comes back, she frickin’ dark, not even a tan, DARK-Does he even think about skin cancer. She’s been to Peru every gosh darn year since she was 2. Sorry, she is NOT going.

Look, I know he and his family are pretty well off and they want to take her to nice places. Well, not even him, his parents do. And I know that we don’t have much-Ken and I work like any normal married couple. We pay for our bills and we have vacations at times. But even if we don’t have as much as they do, we do our best to give our full attention to Jiselle. We took her to Maui with us when we were on our honeymoon, we took her to Universal Studios this year, and just took her to the State Fair a few weeks ago. I don’t cook as much, but Ken does and loves it. So we make sure she’s fed all the time. We buy our groceries each week to make sure we’re stocked up with food. When we do have extra money and we’re out shopping, we buy her clothes-even if she doesn’t really need it. I recently registered her in Polynesian dancing which I haven’t asked him to pay half for. Her first day of CFF (Catholic Faith Formation) was yesterday afternoon. That was 90 dollars and I did ask for half last week and he hasn’t paid. We discipline her and try to tell her what right from wrong. And when she’s in trouble, we may look like the bad parents, but we definitely mean well. So you can say we’ve been good to Jiselle and try to do the best we can with her “upbringing”.

I had a HUGE argument with the sperm donor last night-all because he didn’t want to pay a measly 150 dollars for her dentist bill. I told him that if I had the money, I would pay for it. I would pay for everything if I could-just so I won’t have to deal with him. I’m not working because I’m on PFL (paid family leave for Jordan). But he says he’ll pay for her glasses and I pay for the dentist bills. And I told him, how can that be right if I pay for her benefits each and every month. And he says that it’s what a 5 dollars a month…so what..it adds up right? I don’t even think it’s only 5 dollars btw. So then I simply told him to forget it I’ll just get paid the right way and not have to deal with the headache each and every time I ask for money for Jiselle. So then the conversation ended.

Then 10 minutes later, he wants to call back and tell me that he’ll wire me money to my account for the dentist. Blah blah blah…but then I’ll pay for any other bills coming up. WHAT! OMG…Why is it such a big deal for him???????? The boy drives a frickin’ bmw-a newer version, has a couple houses, and can afford to play golf for leisure. And who knows what else he does. He started mentioning that he’s been paying for stuff that I don’t know about that maybe I should pay half for…uh ya, whatever. WHAT is it that he pays for besides half the daycare???? And when she’s there, she’s with her grandparents! So I really don’t know what those things are????? Then I said to really forget it and I’ll just go through the county and get paid that way. And I’ll get paid to pay for Jiselle’s needs. Then he goes off saying that he wouldn’t have the problem paying me what the state would pay me if I was raising her right. He went on saying that GOD KNOWS that I don’t take care of her.

WHAT! This is what he said:

1. She doesn’t eat vegetables when she’s here.
2. I leave her at daycare instead of picking her up right after school.
3. I don’t cook for her, Ken does.
4. I don’t help her with her homework, Ken does.
5. When he picks her up on his Fridays, her hair is messy.

Ok…WTF is he talking about??????????

1. Um..ok. We have vegetables at times. Yes, we need to force her in eating that more.
2. Jiselle tells me to pick her up at 4pm because she wants to play with her friends at daycare.
3. Ken wants to cook.
4. We both help her with her homework
5. Jiselle takes a shower everyday and I brush her hair and fix it. The girl is 7 and loves to do cartwheels, monkeybars, etc.

Then he said that maybe I’m irritated because it’s true! HUH. He’s really crazy.
And then he said, and this really made me upset, that I’m asking for money for my own benefit. For my family with Ken. That’s such BULLSHIT! And what money is he talking about? Again, the money he gives or gave me or what I mentioned earlier in this blog entry.

So then our conversation ends once again. He talks to Jiselle for a LONG time. He was asking her where she wants to stay-with him or with me. And she’s crying cause she doesn’t like it when we fight and she wants to stay with both of us. I know he tries to manipulate her and make her feel sorry for him. That’s why she tries to defend him. If she only knew what type of person her father was.

So last night and today, I’m researching in how to get child support from the sperm donor. Ken found some forms on PDF and I will be printing that soon so I can read it. Does anyone know how to do it?? If so, let me know.

We just got back today around 4 or 5pm from L.A. We had so much fun even though we were only there for 2 nights. We stayed at the Sheraton-nice hotel, but they charged us for the fridge-CRAZY HUH. I needed the fridge to put all my bags of breastmilk. lol. Pumpin' is a bitch when we're on the road. I hate it, but I have to do it for Jordan.

So anyways. We left Friday around 3 or 4pm. We got to our hotel around 9ish. It was nice to just sleep all through the night-no kids to wake us up. hee hee. My mom and my sister were babysitting Jordan for the whole weekend. =) Jiselle went to her dad in the Bay. Saturday, we woke up late, then we walked around a little. Then we went back to the hotel to get ready. I had to make sure I looked ok-I was thinking that we might bump into some celebrities. =) Then we were off...........we got to the Staples Center! Nice arena. It's my favorite arena so far-way better than Oakland's and Arco in Sac fo sho! It looks nice in the daytime and really beautiful at night with all the lights.
So we got there at 4pm and we looked for our seats. NOT BAD at all. We were right above ringside in the corners-we got the Premier seats (100 bucks a seat). We actually see the fighters really good and the losers pass right on front of us and exit right by us. I think we probably saw some celebrities but didn't recognize them. But I know we were breathing the same air as Alyssa Milano and Jason Biggs (the dude from American Pie). Well that's what the announcer said (the one that says the infamous "Let's get ready to rumble!".

The guys would whistle when they'd see the pretty and sexy "round" girls-the ones that walk in the ring and carry the sign of what round is next. Guys are perverts!




A Filipino singer named Desa sang the Phillipines National Anthem.

Well, the place was filled with hella Filipinos and TONS of Mexicans. My goodness. It was a battle between the two nationalities. There were fights in the stands-thank goodness they weren't near us. There was this Mexican guy running up and down the stands with a huge Mexican flag. It was hilarious.

The first fight-Some Filipino fighter names Ray "boom boom" Bautista fought some guy. He knocked his ass out! COOL! After he fought, he sat with his wife a few rows below us.



And then some Filipino guy named Brian Viloria fought some guy..He knocked him out in the first round. It was really exciting. Brian is from Hawaii.



Then when Pacquiao fought...it was even more exciting. I'm sure some people thought I was ghetto since I was cheering like a dude...Hey, what can I say-I'm very proud. =) Pacquiao knocked out Velasquez in the 6th round. Woohoo.



The Morales fight was boring plus he lost to Raheem. Interesting....


There was a total of 6 fights. So ya, the trip and the tickets were all in all.............WORTH IT!

Last Friday, we and many friends celebrated Ken's 31st Bday at Tony Romas in UC. It was so nice to see everyone again. It's been a long time. Check my site for pics.

After dinner, we stopped by his uncle's house to say hi.

Saturday, we left the bay around lunchtime. We stopped in Vallejo to get some good grub at the Mongolian bbq place. It's so dang good.

Ken was gonna call his dad to see if he wanted to meet his grandson, but i guess it wasn't meant to be. I know he didn't really want to see him anyway.

Sunday-We had dimsum for breakfast. We checked out Jose and Martha's house afterwards-they just moved up here about a week ago. NICE. We then went home to clean up a little. We went with my mom to Todd's party which is my mom's next door neighbor. At around 10:30pm, Jose, Martha, the kids, Beverly, and Christine came by to hang out. Funny. Check my site for pics.

Monday-We had bbq. This day was Ken's actual bday. My mom, my sister, Quoc, Jess, Danny came by to eat with us.

Tuesday-We brought Jordan to his 2 month check up. He weighs 14 lbs and .06 oz. He is now 25 inches long. His weight is in the 93 percentile and his height is in the 98 percentile. He got his shots. He was in a bad mood all afternoon. We gave him grape Tylenol and he loved it. hahah.

Wednesday-we went to Seafood City to go to Chow King eat lunch. Then we got some groceries. We got fish fried for dinner. Jiselle is such a sore loser-she starts to cry and yell when she loses at Mario Kart. It's so funny!

Today! The O.C. is on tonight! Woohoo! We went to SF-this asian grocery store to get some spicy noodle soup. Then we went to Cingular to inquire about how much we're gonna pay when we switch over from sucky ass Nextel in October.

Orlando is gonna leave me. He wants to transfer to Livermore. He sucks! jk.

Spoke to Myra today. Her big day is coming up in 14 days. WOOHOO GIRL! She says I'm walking into that song BEBOT lol. My dress is done, but i have to try it on. She says it looks big in the boob part. I know my boobies got smaller since then. I hope.

We're leaving for S. Cali tomorrow. Pacquiao here we come!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yesterday, Ken came home early to attend to an interview here in the area. He wasnt too excited about it since he hears so much of how it sucks up here which it truly does. That's why I'm not even looking forward to coming back to work.

We went to the State Fair. Jordan seemed to love the colorful lights. He was awake most of the time. Jiselle had a good time as well. But dayam...those games and rides are soo expensive. RIP OFF! But it's all for the kids right plus I got to exercise by doing a lot of walking. =)

Here's a pic :

Today's my dad's birthday. "Happy Birthday, Dad. Miss you..."

Saturday, Ken picked us up and we went to the Bay to go meet with deacon at St. Annes. We left the kids with my mom. Deacon Manny and his wife are really nice. They said that they weren't going to ask us questions because we got married in a Catholic church and that all they ask of us to do is to continue attending and following the Catholic ways.

I got to retrieve my last updated resume at Ken's work. YAY.

We passed by his uncle's house in UC. Just hung out for about 30 minutes.

Then we went to Jollibees to bring home some fried chicken and my favorite pie-Mango Peach Pie. YUM YUM.

Monday-Ken and Daniel worked on the dog run. I marinated some meat and Ken bbq'd it. My mom passed by for awhile.

Today...Ken didn't go to work. Not much sleep last night.=( It was picture day today for Jiselle. =) I think she sorta looked like me today. hee hee.



After we picked her up, we went to Old Navy and then Ulta. I picked up a new curling iron and a Dessert lip gloss. I used the Ulta gift card my sister gave me for my bday last year. I totally forgot about it.

We will be going to LA for the Pacquiao fight at the Staples Center on next Sat. YAY. I bought the tickets for Ken's bday. Hmm..Wonder if we'll see any celebrities. Can't wait. =) My mom will be babysitting.

We got our stupid Nextel bill today. I totally hate that company...they suck cause half the time the stupid phone don't have any reception. And they are expensive. Stupid f'n phone. I can't wait to go back to Cingular when our contract with Nextel ends. Woohoo. We might even try the MOTO Razr phone. It's thin and cute. =) I still really want the Nokia flip phone but Metro PCS is the only carrier that has that phone.

Oh ya..the other night, i had a dream that a big fat snail was chasing me. EW! I hate snails! Ok this snail was moving fast. So retarded.

Friday again. Wow..This week went by quick. All week, I've been trying to frame our wedding pictures and trying to get some pics of Jordan framed, too. Scanning is a lot of work-yes, i've been ghetto and scanning pics off our EXPENSIVE album. Hey, it will save us $$, it'll work for us. =)

I'm gonna have Cup O Noodles for lunch today. lol. We dont have anything else and I'm still in my sweats so I don't really want to go out and get something to eat. Seems like I'm getting lazier and lazier each day. At the start of the week, I really want to accomplish many things, but I don't really follow through with it.

Tomorrow, we have an appt with the deacon at St. Annes to discuss Jordan's baptism. Oh no...we really have to finalize who's primary godparents cause we have to give those names to him tomorrow. So ya, we have to drive down to the bay AGAIN tomorrow. So tiring....=(

Right now, our little booger head is sleeping on the couch. He's so chubby right now. Everytime we give him a bath, we can't help but laugh cause he has huge luvhandles and his cheeks are so chubby. Lately, he's been only getting up at 3am and 6:30am. NICE!

Last night, i was trying to update my site...Shutterfly pisses me off cause the wrong pic is showing up on my pages. I.e. It's supposed to be a main pic for Jordan's nursery, and why the heck is my mom and my aunts on there. LOL. It's hilarious, but it pisses me off. Ya, Shutterfly is trippin! I was originally (and for years) uploading pics to my website server, but i just got lazy and I just hate having to resize pics so I turned to Shutterfly because they allow file sharing. But dude, they got to fix that problem.

Wow, Myra's getting married in few weeks. That was fast. I remember when she just got engaged. The months just fly really fast. I still have to find something for Jiselle to wear and if Jordan is coming, I have to find something for him, too. We're still debating if we're gonna bring the baby or not. If not, my mom will be taking care of him.

Monday, I had an appt with my nurse practioner in the OBGYN dept. EEEK. Ya, I had to get my pap. EEK. It hurt! It was late in the afternoon so we couldn't make it to Ellis and Rlene's bday celebration at Rlene's house. I heard it was a good turn out per Jo.

Tuesday, Jordan had a 2 second appt with a nurse to check out his pee pee-just to make sure it's ok. It took longer to get called in.

OMG-we watched this scary ass Tagalog movie that my aunt burned for us. I told Ken to turn it off. I just couldn't watch it anymore. It's called Sigaw which means Scream in english. It was like the Grudge, only that the story takes place in an apartment complex and instead of a little boy in it, there's a little girl. And............the ghost follows them everywhere they go....It was freaky. I don't want to finish the movie, it's too dang scary for me.

Wow, the VMAs got cancelled because of the hurricane in Florida. Crazy! Maybe cause DIDDY was supposed to host. LMAO.

Let's try this again. I'm gonna write on outlook and then I'll copy and paste it to my blog so I don't lose my entry again.

Jordan just pooed while he was sitting on me and then it leaked through. I guess cause i put the diaper on crooked.

Friday, Ken picked Jiselle, Jordan, and meeh after his work and we headed down to the bay. So much to bring especially since we have the baby now. My pump, his clothes, jiselle's clothes, milk, bottles, etc, etc. We stayed in a hotel that night because I had to be in the Bay on Sat because we were to meet with the Mendoza's at their house in the morning and then to Myra's bridal shower.

Saturday-I didnt much sleep cause the baby was fussy through the night. Even if Ken was getting up to take care of him, I still wake up because of his crying. Ken left to go to the office. We all woke up around 7. I pumped, took care of the baby, but couldn't shower until Ken took a break to relieve me. Sucks. So it took us long to get to Jo and Franny's house.

When we got to the Mendoza's, the Uk's got there the same time as us. So cool cause we got to finally meet Enzo-he's adorable! Franny bought us breakfast from Jollibeez since Jo was craving for it. =) So sweet of him to do that. So we hung out with the bebehs. =) It was fun and so nice to see each other.



We had to leave at around 12:30 cause I had to go buy balloons for Myra's shower. I was put in charge of decorations. So we purchased them from Party City since it was near to their house. Tizza wanted to meet with me to pick up the pink material for her mom (the pink material originally bought for the bridesmaid dresses for our wedding). So instead of Ken dropping me and Jiselle off to Myra's mom's house in UC, Tizza met us at the office and picked us up. Jordan stayed with Ken at work. It would have been way too hard to take care of Jordan while trying to concentrate at the party.

We got there and Tizza helped me decorate. The stuff I got was pretty cute. Tizza had to go plus she didnt want to be a party crasher since wasn't invited. The party went well. Myra got a "rollergirl" outfit. LMAO. jk Nah, but she got a bunch of house stuff and lingerie. LOL. After she opened her gifts, I called Ken to come over. Boys were allowed now. =) Plus, I missed Jordan. I couldn't leave until I got measured for the bridesmaid dress. Dude, I'm gonna be the fatty one of the maids. =(

Dude, the ants at Myra's mom's house are fast. I dripped a drop of milk on Maryl's bed while pumping and a bunch of ants came. OMG.




We got home and we were SOOOO tired. We got up late on Sunday morning-not early enough for us to get ready for mass. We were gonna go to the State Fair, but Jordan was too grumpy. So we'll probably just go this Sunday.

Monday-we went to the mall to get Asuncion and Rlene's bday gifts. It was funny cause we passed through the KCRA news area and we were on tv in the background. So funny. My mom calls and said, " I see you...hello..." LOL. It was hilarious.

Here's a pic of Jordan from yesterday after his bath-just chillin' in his crib. he's cross-eyed here, but he's so cute with his dimples showin'. He actually fell asleep for awhile. I was able to use the monitor for the first time.

The deacon at St. Annes just called me regarding Jordan's baptism. We have our interview with him next Saturday.

The West Nile Virus is scary...They haven't been able to do any aerial spraying in our area yet because of the winds. Great huh.

I'm so sleepy right now. I guess cause I still don't get to have any naps during the day. And then Jordan wakes up every 2 hours during the night. SUCKS.

Today, he slept on my chest while I watched tv in the morning. That kept him at peace for awhile.

Yesterday, we went to Stockton to return some duplicated gifts at Target and Babies R Us. We had to use up the credit at Target right away cause we didn't have a receipt. STUPID. And at Babies R Us, we ended up getting the Peg Pereggo stroller. It's only 9 lbs. I needed a stroller that I can utilize without breaking my back when retrieving it from the trunk of my car.



Today, I dropped off Jiselle at school, but Ken was able to pick her up. He cut out of work early that's why.

I got to talk to Myra yesterday while we were on our way to Stockton. lol.

On Sunday, we went to Party America to get some decorations for Myra's bridal shower which is this coming Sat.

I think we have a tentative date for Jordan's baptism. It will be in November. I still have to wait for the permission letter from our parish so we can call back St. Anne's and set a date.

Jordan's favorite thing to say right now is "ah-gi". He says it everytime he's crying and pissed. It's a Pangasinan word. So funny.

I haven't called my aunt back-the one that was MIA for awhile. I'm still curious to hear what exactly did my dad tell my aunt in her dream. My lola said that my dad told her that they do not care for me. So I guess my aunt was trying to call me cause she feels guilty.

I don't think I'm gonna lose enough weight by Myra's wedding. Man. I'll be known as the fat bridesmaid. How sad. =(

The week just went by hella quick, i guess cause i'm not working of course.

Yay, another episode of Dawson's Creek for me to watch on tv. It's really addicting. Today, I saw Jessica Simpson on Regis and Kelly. She's so dang pretty and talented. Love her dang body. I gotz lots to lose...

I was just talking to Orlando through email that when I come back I'll be dieting along with him. LOW CARB fo sho! I can't seem to go lower than 123 lbs. It's suckin'-maybe cause my ass is frickin' BIG and my boobs weigh tons!

Speaking of my ta-tas-I've gotten Jordan to take my right dehdeh. It doesn't hurt anymore. Thank goodness-well, breastfeeding him soothes him more than just drinking from the bottle, weird, but i guess it's natural. but of course, i have about 12 bottles of my breast milk in the fridge still. I'm still pumping my left boobie and whatever is left from my right.

Jiselle is going to the bay today. suckie! Her dad is so weird that he didn't even call her for like a WHOLE dang week. he said he was busy. ya right. She's going camping with him and his fiance's family. dangit, she's gonna get MORE DARK which makes me upset cause she's already so dang DARK!

I signed up Jiselle for CFF (aka ccd) yesterday. Her classes start 9-12. I'm also gonna sign her up for hula-just shopping for a good school that's worth it.

Saw some pics of Enzo from his mommy. He is sooo cute and he's already smiling. The other night, Jordan was smiling/giggling. I think cause he was looking at the netting thing we have attached to our bed. He was staring at it and started giggling. And he wasn't dreaming. Usually, he just giggles and smiles when he's sleeping-you think he's awake but he isn't.

I finally fixed my flash menu for my website. I took out the J-Lo song cause it made it so slow for my site to load. So I just added some funky mp3 loop. lol. So this whole morning, I was trying to upload it to my server. It was giving me such a hard time. I don't know why.

After dropping off Jiselle at school, I had to get my Starbucks fix. I was so sleepy, I needed some caffeine. So bad if I'm supposed to be dieting. I'll get decaf next time-i promise.

We're not gonna make it to the August bbq tomorrow-i'm just too exhausted plus we'll be in the bay 2 weeks in a row after this weekend.

Dude, i need to get my resume off my personal folder at work. I need to start applying for other jobs in other companies-even if it's part time. As long as I get some $$$. Bills aren't tooo bad like before.

What else??? Nothing but Jordan starting to wake and complain right now. oh man..when is he gonna stop being so cranky. I just wished he would wake up and just be happy for once. I can't even pick up the phone or call people cause he starts to cry and he won't stop cause he wants to be held....

It's been a whole week since I blogged. This little boy named Jordan doesn't let me do anything. He's a fussy one that needs a whole lot of attention. He's spoiled and loves to be held-thanks to the ones that spoiled him by carrying him WAY too dang much. Now, I'm having a hard time. I don't get sleep cause he wakes up after really short naps. Like what my mom calls it-"Tulog ng manok". LOL. So anyways-at night, he wakes up every 3 hours to eat and to have his diaper changes. He's sprayed me quite a lot. BOYS!

Right now, I'm just glad he's finally sleeping longer than usual. I gave him a bath with Johnson's Lavender-it's made especially for fussy babies like Jordan. I actually took a shower without having to wait for Ken or Jiselle to be home. lol.

I paid a bunch of bills this morning. SUCKS. Utilities and all that.

Friday, Ken got off work early cause he had rehearsal for Jose and Martha's wedding. Ken was a secondary sponsor (veil). It was dang hot in Fairfield. Then we skipped the rehearsal dinner and had to go to the mall over there. I had to get dress shoes for Jiselle and a nice outfit for Jordan to wear for the special occassion.

Saturday, we left the house at 12 to get to church in Fairfield by 1:30. The wedding ceremony started at 1. I was taking good pics until Jordan almost had a fit when the couple was about to kiss. DANGIT! oh well. it's ok. The ceremony was really nice and so was the reception. Jiselle has decided that she wants to take hula or tahitian dancing. YAY. Jose and Martha's daughter was so cute. She performed by herself (she's only 5) for her parents. It was adorable!



Sunday, we went to mass..FINALLY. I don't like the crying room. It's stuffy and there's a bunch of bratty toddlers. Luckily, Jordan slept through the whole mass. Father Rey wasn't there though. It was some other Filipino priest from St. Anthony's church. We ate at Max's AGAIN. lol. We went to Target and got some stuff-gifts and necessities. We cleaned the downstairs of our house. Dude, Having an infant really messes up your house. He has totally taken over our house. It looked like our house got robbed before we cleaned it. lol.

Monday, Ken took Jiselle to school in the morning so I could get some sleep. Then we just hung out till we had to pick up Jiselle. We went to Loard's to get some mango icecream. YUM! My favorite from childhood. Then we went to my mom's cause she was having some issues with her internet connections. Then we got home hella late and our weekend together was over.

Tuesday-today....I wanna go to Circuit City cause Ashton Kutcher's new movie is out on DVD"Guess Who" with Bernie Mac. I wanna C! It's on sale for 14.99.

Our dilemma now is when and where we'll have Jordan's baptism. UC or SAC? It's hard now since godparents have to take a class now. trippy.

Another one is about me going back to work. I'm supposed to go back in October, but I really don't wanna. I really don't wanna go back to the company. From what I'm hearing, everyone is leaving. My friend April already left the company and is now with AAA which is just near our home. I don't know-it really sucks up here-as far as the company here. It sucks and it's far. lol. I'd rather just work part time at Kaiser or something. Even if it's a small job-i don't care. Or not work at all. jk.

I just can't believe Jordan is 4 weeks today. Time flew!

Ok..we were really supposed to go to church on Sunday, but the air conditioner guy came to look at our ac. ok..wtheck! We ended up going to Target later on that day. Jiselle came back from the Bay.

Yesterday, Jordan had a very bad day. He had his "circ" done. =( It was very sad. He was fine until they were done doing the procedure. He wouldn't stop crying. =( We really hate to change his diaper now. It's so hard for us cause he cries. Today, I think he's better-not as bad as yesterday.

So the nurses put this topical numbing thing on his lil peepee about 45 min before the circ is done. Then they take him to this procedure room and they strap him down. They feed him sugar water which they said he LOVED. Funny thing, the nurses were like...we had to use an instrument a size bigger. hee hee. I'm sure he'll love this story when he's older.

Well, ya, so after the cir was done, he cried and cried and cried. The nurses said we had to somehow come him down so he won't bleed so much. Omg. We ran out of milk-my milk because we didn't think we'd be there that long. So they gave us enfamil to give him. We realized he was really hungry and just didn't like the nipple. So I had to transfer it to the Avent bottle so he can have the nipple he liked.

The hard thing about changing his diaper is that we have to make sure that we clean everything up real good esp if he does poop. And we're supposed to pull some skin back so it won't heal wrong. SHIT. His thingie looks all raw and red. I'm so scared. Then we're supposed to put a whole blob of vaseline so when it scabs it won't stick to the diaper and come off-then that would mean he would have to heal all over again.

The nurses said that he would heal in 2 days. I'm praying that he does heal that fast. Yesterday-his cries sounded like he was hurting. Kawawa naman. =(

I actually got to take a nap after we ate lunch yesterday. It was a hectic day.

Today, it's my first day alone with the baby. Jiselle started 2nd grade yesterday. And Ken is at work-his first day back. =( I should be taking my naps when he's sleeping. I'll eat a bowl of cereal and then I'll try to take a nap and relax.

Today, Tizza and Conrad visited and hung out with us. We had lunch at Max's and just chilled at home. We hella grubbed. Ken made some good ass pot roast for dinner, too. We watched the wedding video cause Tizza didn't watch it yet. It was funny. Then we watched Harold and Kumar and Wild Things. Conrad never saw that movie which surprised me. Every guy loves that 3some scene. LOL. My mom came over and hung out with us, too.



My mom just found out that she passed her real estate test. Woohoo.

Yesterday, Ken noticed that Jordan's belly button area was bleeding a little so I called medical advice and the nurse made us an appt for him to be seen .His doctor put some silver nitrate to help the fleshy part seal up. But he's fine. It doesn't hurt him at all. The nurse weighed him and he's already 10 lbs and 4 oz.

Jordan just tried to roll over on his tummy. Crazy boy. Everytime we take pics of Jordan, he makes weird faces. It's funny. It cracks me up. I don't know why but it's hella funny.

Here's an example. Ken was trying to take a pic of him with his 2 dimples. But look at the funny look on his face. I think he was poopin' in his diaper.


We're really trying to go to church tomorrow. That is our plan.

I can't find my cell phone. Where the hell is it???

Good news-FINALLY got a check from the State!

Wow..Friday already. That was really fast.

Yesterday, we all went to the Bay. Ken had to take care of business at work. Jiselle's grandfather picked her up right when we got to the parking lot. She has to come back on Sunday cause she starts school on Monday.

After going to his work, we went to Jollibeez and got some grub. Yum. Then we went to Tatak. I was looking for some baby cologne. Then we were gonna visit Jess and Enzo, but she wasn't answering. oh well. Then we went to Stoneridge. It was depressing that no dress looked good on me. I did finally find something-a dress that I thought would make me look weird, but it was actually nice. It was weird being at Stoneridge. I used to be at that mall every weekend. lol. We were there til 7. DANG huh.

So it was a tiring, tiring day.

Oh..I checked my voicemail yesterday and got a message from my aunt-the one that I keep trying to call in Stockton but they never f'n answer their phone. She said she missed me and that she wants me to call her back. Hmm....whatever. I wonder what she needs.
