I always wonder lately when my 8 month old will start sleeping through the night. I thought my experience with my eldest child will be different this time. But it turned out that my first baby had a much better sleeping pattern than my second. I’m still very much sleep deprived and I’m compensating it either by eating or taking supplements. No sleep aids needed.

I’ve had the worst migraine attacks seven years ago when I was a busy career woman in Singapore. I recall having to throw-up, lose appetite, feel wuzzy and hated any form of light each time I go through an attack. At that time, I wasn’t into any form of medication because I was on the lookout for a natural migraine relief. But after a thorough doctor’s consultation, I decided that medication is the way to go. Thankfully, I haven’t had any migraine attacks since.

We started our countdown to our next trip to the Philippines. We are so looking forward to spend time with our families again, eat our favorite local food and hangout with friends. And of course, that’s our opportunity also to pamper ourselves with massages, facials (goodbye acne and blackheads!) and lovely foot spas! Ah, six months is still a long way off but we’re just as excited.

There is a major sale in this huge furniture shop in Sydney. Modern sofas, dining sets, bedroom showcases are on 30-50% mark down! I told the husband that the shop should have that promotion again by the time we’re buying our own home. I’m beginning to envision what our new home will be like. The color scheme, the materials, the style, they’re like puzzle pieces setting in my mind. Ah, hope that time comes soon.

My husband is eyeing to bring the kids to the Goldcoast next year. He said that even before we go to Disneyland (and stay at Disney World hotels) or Universal Studios, he wants us to experience touring Australia. I agree with him on this. There is so much to see and do here. The only challenge is time. But we’re taking baby steps. We’re hoping to bring the kids to Canberra this September to see the Floriade for the first time.

The Masterchef Australia series have run on TV for quite a while now and it is only recently that I started to have interest to follow the show. I am amazed that the 90% of the contestants are rightful to be called ‘chefs’ already! What with all the delectable desserts and delicious meals they present. There’s no way that anyone (even those who wants to lose weight or are avoiding diet pills or apidexin scam) could resist trying to have a bite of the food they prepare.

Since my little girl was 6 months old, she has shown signs of her love for books. She flipped pages on her own at that early age, took delight in touch/feel pages and enjoyed pretend reading. Until now, she still loves books. And I’m sure if she can only read, she would have read tons of books already. I look forward to the day that she can read her books on her own.

It’s officially the weekend and I’m overwhelmed with all the activities and chores that require my full attention. Of course, activities with the family take priority especially during weekends, which means chores takes a back seat. But I can’t help but be on multi-tasking overdrive when I see the chores piling up. This weekend, I need to get done a few appliance and home/office furniture moves. This requires the husband’s help and I hope he still has the energy to help me out on this.

Whenever I think about loans, credit checks or credit scores, I’m reminded of my close friend living in the US. When I visited her there a few years back, she was surprised to see me bring cash any where I went. She said that credit cards are the preference and that help increase one’s credit scores. I explained to her that I don’t want to lose on currency exchange rate and so I prefer to spend cash than charge. During travels, our credit cards are designated for use during emergencies only.

Before we left for Sydney in March, I was able to make a booking for the venue of my son’s 1st birthday. It will be a post-celebration in December, with his actual birthday happening in September. I am inching my way to organize the details and those I need to book or make reservations for, I want done before the 2nd half of the year. December is a very busy month especially in Manila and suppliers for cake, invitations and even favors need to be booked way in advance. I’m not feeling the excitement yet at this point, but as soon as I start organizing it, I’m sure I’ll be an excited party planner!
