I love this meme, which was passed on to me by, guess who…Meeya.   One, it’s simple.  And two, I have another convenient excuse to post one of my favorite Abby and me photos.

This is our first formal portrait together, taken when Abby was about a month old.  The photo just screams “new”: new baby, new mommy, new relationship, new experiences and challenges, new everything.   Abby is now 4 years old.  I sometimes find it hard to believe that she was ever so small…so fragile.  So much has changed and changes will continue to happen.  But Abby will always be my baby.

I am passing this on to Carol, Feng and Rachel.

I got this tag from my bossom tag and all-around-buddy, Meeya.  Thank you, Mee!

Rules:
1. List 6 things that describe yourself today.
2. Add your blog to the list. Feel free to add all your other blogs.
3. Tag other online friends you know.

The day will draw to a close in about two hours.  I am…

thankful…I always am…for the unexpected blessings I received (does LinkNerve ring a bell?).

looking forward to tomorrow when Hubby comes home from his business trip.

cramming to finish two more opps so I can call it a night.

unable to resist plurking.  I am now addicted!

determined to be out of the house before 7:40am so Abby will be in school by 8am.  We’ve been successful since Monday!  Yey!

tired because of utter lack of sleep.

Feng passed on to me this hilarious comic strip, which I believe is aptly entitled “Moms Real Spa Treats”.  I have to say, it doesn’t get any more real than these.  Hee hee.

 

Eyebrow Threading :: Microdermabrasion

 

 

Aromatherapy :: Body Wrap

Blowout

My favorites are the microdermabration and body wrap.  I get a lot of aromatherapy, too, but never the blowout and eyebrow threading.  How about you, do you get all of the above treats or, like me, just two or three of them?

Here’s a list of fellow Mom’s who had their share of real-world spa treatments: Wheng | Yen | Shimumsy | Eds | Mitch | SAHM-Mitch | Hailey | Rachel | Feng | Weng

Feel free to snag this pseudo-tag and make your readers smile.   Cheers!

Meeya?  Em?  You want this?  Hee hee.

Gracie tagged me for this meme.  Thanks, Gracie!

The rules:
a. List these rules on your blog.
b. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.
c. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.  You’ll have to read on for my 7 facts and see who i tagged.

Here are 7 facts about me:

1.  All throughout my school life (read: gradeschool to university), I was grade conscious, which lead me to graduate with “second honors” in grade school and “cum laude” in college.   High school will always be a big disappointment because just like the non-winners in “The Weakest Link”, come graduation day, I went home with NOTHING.  Ugh!  Huhuhu.

2.  Before I left the Philippines in May 2007, I’ve been going to the same hairstylist since 1998.   His name is Matt and his from the Peninsula Manila’s Emphasis Salon, formerly Rodger Craig.

3.  I did not “touch” my eyebrows until I was the ripe old age of 23.  Hee hee.  I felt like a woman after I had my first ever waxing.  Ooooouch!

4.  I looooove Japanese food, which is why since high school, I’ve believed I must be Japanese in one of my former lives.

5.  I gave birth to Abby via C-section after 10 hours of epidural free labor.  O ha?  What can I say?  I’m masochistic.

6.  I married my first boyfriend after more than 8 years of “couplehood”.  

7.  As much as I possibly can, I think happy thoughts.

Whew!  I am tagging Meeya, Abby, Em, Dang, Cez, Ela and Nell.

My dear friend, Meeya, passed on to me this baby bump tag.  These were her very words:

I would like to tag: Weng (whom I know have the most gorgeous preggy pics)

What can I say?  She’s right!  Hahaha!  Kidding.   Thank you, Mee, for giving me an excuse to post my preggy pics.

These pics were taken at The Picture Company (Podium Branch) when I was 8 months pregnant with Abby.  It was a time when thoughts of hopping on ellipticals were farthest from my mind.  These are pretty daring preggy pics.  Are you ready?  Don’t say I didn’t warn you!

My favorite…

 

Hubby and Me…

Photo Collage (My favorite are my 2 solos.  Hee hee!)…

There.  I hope I didn’t make you gag.    Hahaha!

I am tagging Feng, Rachel and Joy.  Share your “glowing” preggy pics, girls!
