I know, I know...

Life is short for worrying.

Pero mga besh, minsan mahirap ding magkunwaring everything is gonna be okay. Diba? Lalo na 'pag malapit ka na magka regla. Lels

Anyway, speaking of regla, nangunguna yan sa list ko ng current issues in life nowadays:

I am closely monitoring this calendar app that I'm using to track my period, ovulation and fertility predictions since we decided to have a baby again this year. Thankfully, regular ang cycle ko since January (well, except for this month obviously) and only women who take TTC (trying to conceive) plans seriously will understand how frustrating it is. 

If I ovulated, I'm already waaay past my DPO (days past ovulation) sabi ng calendar app na gamit ko. Kung hindi naman, gusto ko reglahin na ako asap dahil ayaw ko ng umasa sa wala. Alam nyo yung feeling na habang walang regla, may pag-asa. 

Paano pag PCOS ulet ako? Masaklap yun.

WORK - PLAY BALANCE

My husband gifted me The Sims 4 for PC last mother's day and I can't stop myself from playing it ever since. Can't blame myself though. Phone free version pa nga lang adik na ako, eto pa kayang real thing. Hehe

Kaso I have raket na ulet on Upwork, and playing Sims takes a lot of my time. Hindi na nakakatuwa ang pagiging unproductive ko talaga eh. Waaaaahhh!

BPI DORMANT ACCOUNT

Actually I have to check pa with the bank if dormant or closed na yung isa kong account. I'm using kasi 2 accounts para kako pag na-hassle yung isa, lalo na if I'm withdrawing money from my online work. I know, I should've try a different bank pero ganun talaga. Loyal ako sa BPI eh. Haha.

Kaso, I wasn't able to maintain the maintaining balance na required para dun sa isang account so ayun, tegi na sya. Di ko na mahagilap sa online portfolio ko when accessing via bpi online.

Ang masama nito, I accidentally used that said account to withdrew money from Upwork last week! I'm not sure how that happened (I'm using the active one for the past few months naman). I'm waiting til Friday this week, crossing my fingers na the money will just bounced back kay Upwork. Tapos I will call BPI na to trace my money, and hopefully I can re-open the dormant account with them without worrying na kakainin lang ng dormancy fees yung perang accidentally naipadala ko through it. Urghhhh! #hassle

I have learned my lesson though, at inalis ko na ang punyemas na account sa Upwork payment methods ko.

So there goes my sentiments nowadays. Kinda happy na I have this blog para mapagbalingan ng feelings ko bukod sa asawa ko. Lels.

Till next post!

30+ years of existence here on mother earth at kabisado ko na ang sexy bodeh ko when it comes to PMSing. Well, it's totally different when I have PCOS so sa ibang araw na natin yan pag-usapan.

I know most of the girls can relate to me about PMS and all the loka-lokahan and hormonal issues that come with it.

Miski ako naloloka sa sarili ko eh. Lels.

But eto talaga kinakatakot ko din minsan:

HAHAHAHAHA #women

Anyway, my Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) usually starts about 2 weeks before my actual period. My husband often teases me na sobrang OA daw ng dalawang linggo para pagpasensyahan nya ako, so I looked it up at Google at pasok pa naman sa banga ang case ko. 

Besides...

🤣🤣🤣

Di bale, 4 days na lang daw ang ipagtitiis ko sabi ng mestrual/fertility app ko. I can't wait to get my period OR to get pregnant hopefully 😉

Ni hindi pa naka-isang linggo ang post na to sa 'drafts' ko. 

Iba-blog ko sana na may extension na yung bed namin to train Caylee to sleep on her own. Kaso she changed her mind after a night (or two?) and decided na sa tabi na ulit namin sya matutulog. 

HAHAHAHA. Kalokang bata!

Expected ko naman yun actually. Ilang beses na rin kasi syang nag-attempt nyan before. Lol. And besides, hindi rin ako mapakali pag hindi kami magkadikit matulog. 

It's a pretty good start though. 

I love and cherish how clingy she is to us, pero ang likot na kasi nya talaga matulog. Not to mention I've been practically sleeping with one position since the day she was born. #cosleepingproblems Masakit na sa majunda ko nang sexy bodeh! HAHA

We'll take it easy from here. Nalilipat ko naman sya from time to time sa 'own bed' nya ng walang violent reactions from her whenever she wakes up. =)

Good job anak, baby #2 na lang ang kulang. Yay!

Lakas maka IG feels ng bagong theme ko ngayon when viewed sa desktop.

I stayed away from my usual 2-column blog layout para maiba naman. Surprisingly, I like it this way. Hindi masamok tingnan. Minimalist kunwari. Hehe

I also made a new header. May pa-vintage na drama naman sya. Yay!

Pakasipag ko ngayon sa blog. Congrats and keep it up my awesome self. Lels

Hope to post more often bilang dito na lang talaga ako kampante mag-post ng mga hanash ko sa buhay. I seldom use my other social media accounts na eh. I just feel na blog is a more appropriate venue for me. Ganun.

Ayun, ending this short post with this cutie patootie.

Have an amazing weekend!

I have a really, really bad skin. 

Isa ako sa mga teenager dati na ikinahihiya ang pagmumukha because of the terrible taghiyawats. Minsan pag humaharap ako sa salamin di ko maiwasang i-wish na sana flawless na lang ang kutis ko. Di bale nang hindi kaputian. Di bale ng busarga ang ilong. Kahit nga yung pagka usngal ng two front teeth ko tanggap ko na eh. Ang gusto ko lang naman talaga ay hindi naghuhumiyaw ang mga pores ko.

Pero ganun talaga. Wala naman daw perpektong ganda sa mundo. Basta sa paningin ng asawa ko dyosa ako at pwede namang gamitan ng beauty filter ang mga selfies ko, yun na lang ang importante sa akin. Lels.

Pero hindi naman excuse ang sa tingin natin ay mga kakulangan natin sa physical appearance para maging forever losyang na tayo at hindi maging presentable. Tama? Sinusubukan ko din namang magmukhang tao paminsan-minsan. 

Good thing may mga affordable pero good quality na na mga makeup here in the Philippines. Since I've discovered the magic of putting on makeup almost three years ago, nakasanayan ko na rin syang gawin whenever I get the chance.

Ang dugyot ko kasi talaga pag bare-faced eh.

In addition, I'm on constant search for products na magwo-work sa akin pero hindi naman ako hihiwalayan ng asawa ko dahil sa presyo. Praktikal pa rin dapat syempre.

The most expensive product na binili ko for kolorete is the Mary Kay TimeWise foundation which cost around 700 pesos. Pang malakasan ko na yun. Like pag may pupuntahang party or important events which I don't do naman everyday. Matipid lang din naman syang gamitin so sulit na rin.

Keber na kung may dugyot angle pa rin. At least dugyot na naka makeup. HAHA

But as a stay at home mom, making efforts to look good everyday is one hell of a struggle. Mahirap magmaganda kapag tagaktak ang pawis while doing household chores! I can't use a product on a daily basis na yung presyo eh pwede na naming ipang-ulam for a couple of days. No way Jose!

That's when these babies come to the rescue:

Just add a bit of eyeliner and a little blush on, ready na akong maglinis ng bahay. HAHA

However, I was told at nababasa ko rin naman na better to invest in good skincare products instead of makeups. Kaso ako si tamad magpahid-pahid. #kayenemenpele malalaki pores eh, tsk! I promise myself to save and make time for it though lalo pa at as we get older, dumadami rin ang mga chismis sa fezlak natin. Yikes!

How about you? Any tipid tips para magmukhang tao? =))

Stay sane,

When we are thinking for a kid-friendly resort na very near Metro Manila lang, automatic Loreland Farm Resort in Antipolo agad ang top of the list. Naging go-to resort na namin this place whenever we want to have konting relaxation na hindi masyadong mabigat sa wallet.

So when some of my pamangkins visit us here in Manila for their summer vacation, we treated them for a day swimming in this place.

Bale 13 kami lahat (Papa Prinz and our resident pamangkin, Ate Abby not on photo). 

We went there last Sunday (April 29) and arrived before 8am. Siguro dahil marami pa rin ang hindi sumusweldo for katapusan and medyo alanganin ang holiday (May 1), hindi ganun ka-OA ang dami ng tao.

This is my Ate Doris who shouldered the food expenses for our trip. Sya din nagluto at nagprepre ng lahat. Haha, thanks Ate!

Sya din ang taga-bantay at taga palo ng mga pasaway (haha), because you know, terrible noise and kulit ng mga bagets are not included on the photo below. Lels.

My macho gwapitong asawa was in-charge sa safety ng mga kids, aka taga-salo sa mga nag-slide sa 5 ft deep pool. They also used floaters para mas lalong safe.

Isa lang ang trip ng littlest bagets in our gang though. Gusto nya lang magpa lutang-lutang at kumampay-kampay with her yellow life vest/floater. Because... why not? 

Hehe, kyot ng batuta!

Loreland has a lot of instagram-worthy spots. I mean, come on, 8 hectare talaga sya eh!

Too bad, ang OA ng PMS ko this cycle. Nagbabad lang ako ng konte sa pool, tapos the rest of our stay there ay kumain lang ako ng kumain. #bantaycottageamp HAHA!

We left the resort at around 4pm. Borlogs ang mga kids! 

We want to watch pa sana Avengers: Infinity War (movie date namin ni Papa Prinz) kaso ang OA sa dami ng gustong manood sa Sta Lucia mall. What more pa kaya sa SM so di na kami nag-try lumipat. Good luck sa amin kung kelan kami ulet magkaka-chance manood this week. Hehe.

So there, that's our fast getaway with the kiddos this summer — They had fun and so are we! =)
