Dandelion Food

Now that we have two little kids, I felt an inkling to search for a bigger apartment or house to rent.  No matter how much we sort and pack away stuff that we rarely or no longer use, we still end up with a lot of things kept in our storage space.  If both our kids will acquire more toys (like gaming consoles, boardgames or ping pong tables perhaps?) and clothes in the near future, we definitely need to consider moving houses, otherwise, our whole house will look like one messy play area!

This early my husband and I are already contemplating on the 7th birthday celebration of our first born. She is currently into Disney princess characters right now and we thought that she’d have a grand time celebrating her big day in where else but Disneyland! And by then, our newborn will be about 4 years old and for sure he, too will enjoy Disneyland. And as for me and my husband, we need to plan our itinerary (to include Las Vegas or Miami hotel deals) so that we can have some good fun, too.

It is very tempting to upgrade to a bigger LCD monitor for our living room.  Especially these days when appliance stores have them on sale almost every day.  Two things that keep us from going for the purchase is one, our daughter (and soon to be joined by our son) who is in the habit of getting really close to the TV screen, which of course is bad for her health.  I have already mentioned in one of my earlier posts, that one time, she even used her crayon to scribble right on the LCD screen!  Imagine, a year from now, our little boy doing the same thing to a super expensive LCD set.  Sigh.  Second, the decision whether to settle here in Sydney is very much up in the air.  We don’t want to make expensive purchases when eventually we have to sell them or give them away when in the end, we decide to move to another country, again.

I am looking for a really good dentist in Manila.  I would like to have a few procedures done and that require an experienced orthodontist in the area of teeth restoration (e.g. dental implants Plano).  That also means I’ll be running a tight schedule during our two-month vacation.  I hope my family and friends will be able to recommend someone otherwise, I might end up having those procedures done here in Sydney.

A week after my delivery and I’m overwhelmed with the things I want to do around the house.  You can’t blame me, I miss doing the cleaning! He he.  There’s something about doing chores that seem to be therapeutic for me.  Weird I know.  And with that, I’m sure my hands will be full in the coming weeks.  I hope I won’t need to rent a Ladybug steam cleaner because last time my husband had to do the steam cleaning and that alone is extremely tiring and there’s a lot to be done!

I remember blogging about getting into an exercise regimen as soon as I’ve given birth to my second child.  Now that the big day is getting closer, I am reminded to make this (getting fit, i.e.) a priority.  Experiencing pregnancy/childbirth the second time around can really take a toll to one’s health and it is best to help our bodies recover from it by maintaining a good and balanced diet and regular exercise.  And that leaves no room for taking any quick fixes such as diet supplements or pills.

Just nine days to go and I’ll be a mom for the second time around. I can imagine how chaotic the first few days (or months) will be in our household, with all the adjustments in our day to day routine. What I know though is, once we have settled, the husband and I will be enjoying our two bundles of joy. And I hope that along with the changes, I would also learn how to trim down or how to lose belly fat fast! *crossing toes* Hee.

The first time we drove around the city of Sydney, I was so amazed on how certain old buildings were preserved and are very much functioning as offices to this day.  There are a lot of modern structures (like steel buildings) of course but the old ones add a unique ‘flavor’ to the busy city.  There are a lot of things to see here in Sydney and the city center is just one of them.

When I was using my Dell laptop regularly, she broke the keyboard.  Now that I’m letting her use the iMac without supervision, (she usually just plays with the Photobooth app), she almost broke the mouse.  Good thing I didn’t choose to upgrade to a wireless mouse at the time we bought the desktop, otherwise, I’d be crying right now.  If only these machines can withstand the hands of little kids like her, make it as durable as industrial computers, then I won’t have to worry anymore.

With the long winter season finally over, people are already gearing up for the coming Summer.  Stores are now selling swim/beach wear and the media taking advantage of this by advertising weight loss programs or diet pills options.  Beaches and parks will soon be packed with people.  It will be a great time to plan for long drives and weekend get-aways.  Ah, the beauty of summer!
