// morsels of life //

whew! finally, finally! just completed the new look for my blog site. [yey!]

i call it "the blue passion". i derived the design from one of the templates i got from blogger.com. just used my basic graphics & html skills to enhance it and make it more personalized. special thanks sa editplus and adobe photoshop cs2 trial version :)

honestly, i am so happy with the result of almost two-week effort to refurbish my blog. i love it! :) good for me also because i was able to review web designing and learn some more techniques.

well, i did not miss to write entries while this site is under renovation. i still kept it updated from time to time. and probably you'd read more of my stories in the future as postings will be more frequent now.

nway, i have to prepare now. we're gonna attend a house-warming with one of our pinoy friends here. 'till next time, chums! :)

we did some shopping again last weekend in DFO essendon kase we already got our "living away from home" allowance [yey!] i can say this time that we went a bit nuts! got 3 esprit blouses/shirts, a new polo rl yellow shirt and got a new pair of levi's vintage jeans :) tonton bought a pair of jeans and hoodie jacket in rivers. but we spent for something we really like and need naman.


then, we dropped by the hair salon and tonton had his first haircut here in melbourne :)











afterwards, we had dinner in oriental spoon korean resto. sarap ng fudie dun, sobrang nabusog kme lahat :)









and the best thing ever happened to me last weekend was the advance birthday gift from my hubby :) a 30GB ipod video, woohooo!!! it was not a surprise at all kse he promised that to me three weeks ago. [super thanks, baby... i luv you more :)] i loaded it with all my favorite pop & rnb songs agad.



but there's one sad thing that made me a bit upset last saturday morning. i had my period. yes, im not yet pregnant :( it was just a false alarm and it's just a paranoia indeed. oh well, i guess it really happens. maybe it's not yet the right time. we'd rather look at the lighter side of it and enjoy our marriage. and i believe God is preparing something good for us :)

let's give our loveones a very warm hug today :) make them feel that they are worth-loving.

lately, i've been having this "paranoia" that i might be pregnant. i started researching for some pointers to help me affirm it. but i guess it's too early to say that i'm an expectant already. however, i became more cautious especially in what i eat. i don't eat fish anymore. because according to an online article i've read, fish concentrate methylmercury, which is known to affect the developing child's brain. and i've been avoiding too much exposure on microwave radiation.

plus, i've been having this slight "fever" for two consecutive days already. well, if it's the right time to have a new member of the family, then be it. i'll be very thankful for it. a blessing indeed!

yet, guilt strikes again. because here i am, infront of this "abused" laptop at three in the morning. but what can i do? i've been tossing & turning in bed since midnight. my husband is having a deep sleep already and i don't want to create annoyance (again?)... hmm... maybe i just need some physical rest now. so God help me...

i can't sleep. something is bothering me. is it all about the topic earlier or the fact that frustration is getting into my nerve? arrrghhh! sometimes there are things that you try to ignore but will still make you anxious in one way or another. damn it! at times, i wish that i have control on every situation. sorry about that, but it's true. i just always remind myself not to be so self-centered and b*tchy.there is always a right time for everything.

a very deep [sigh]...
just let me breathe this out of my system...

this entry supposed to be somewhat scary because of the title. but no. what's with the title? hehe wala lng, ngpapaka-real time lng. the truth is, im quite happy & excited about what im currently doing. im working on the new design for this blog :) grabe im having these random thoughts on what the site would look like after the hard work, harhar :)

basta, i hope the readers will also be pleased with the new look of my blog.
o sya, gotta go. i'll have dinner with my hubby later. catch yah soon! :-D

weekend whereabouts...

Saturday: we went to st. kilda beach, and we really enjoyed the view. it was my first time na makakita ng sea water & sand na hndi gano polluted khet near the city ang location. summer in melbourne is approaching na. mdyo mainit na sa beach. hndi na ganun kalamig ang wind factor. sayang every sunday lng pala may esplanade market.





bought a new pair of sunglasses. then we went to minotaur comic & toy shop, sinamahan nmen si vincent & his family. we had yummy dinner in king bo chinese resto then we went straight to melbourne observation deck. we had a great time viewing the city at night. then coffee at starbucks, kakaaliw pa ung australian girl kse she was able to recognize na filipino kme, kse pala may crewmate sya na filipino. and the phrase that she learned is "oo tama ka!" hmm i wonder kng si kris aquino ba ung crewmate nya na un hahaha!

Sunday: market day as usual. watched episode 1 & 2 of CSI vegas 7th season, thanks talaga sa limewire where tonton downloaded the .avi files, hehe... had dinner with sarah, mel, vincent, joni & anya at vincent's place while watching australian idol final 8.

o sya, gotta go. dameng labada na nman e. talk to u soon... :)

papa sent me a text message yesterday that my mom has been granted U.S. visa :) im happy for you mama, i love you! jst take care of urself always, mwah!

it's been a week since i started this blog and i find it so cool :) sometimes i get too excited when i have something new to share here.
nway, it's been a month na rin since when we arrived here in Melbourne and i am still jobless. well, i guess "niluluto" pa ung perfect position for me, ika nga "look at the brighter side, girl.., just stand still and look pretty [harhar!]" besides i have a new career pa nga noh -- as a dedicated housewife to my hubby :) and if ever i get pregnant before end of this year, ok lng. at least i have all the time in the world to prepare for it. hehe excited ba ko? syempre naman! :) im really looking forward to that day na nga, i think im prepared na in all aspect :)
well, kahapon sobrang naaliw ako sa fab 5 of queer eye for the straight guy. napansin ko nga napapadalas na ang kakapanood ko nito. when i was still in manila, hndi ako gano nkakapanood kse cguro busy ako kakapanood naman ng america's next top model, hehe... pero super aliw nga talaga ang fab 5. ang gwapo ni Kyan! hehe... i can't believe na ganun ka-cute na guy eh hndi pala katalo hahaha... pero in fairness, they really give good advices and information on how to improve yourself if you are a messy straight guy.

o sya, i have to go, linis pa ko unit namen :) mwah to you all!

it was a tiring yet very enjoyable weekend for us. we went to collingwood suburb last saturday where sportswear factory outlets are located. tonton (my hubby) got a new pair of nike shoes and i bought a nice brown blazer for only 30 bucks :) we went nuts? naahh, i don't think so... but i think i still want to have shopping in bridge road richmond kse madami pa rin choices dun, hehe... then we had dinner at melbourne central lion hotel and afterwards had hot choco at max brenner.
nways, i was not able to buy the new ipod kse next week pa pala ang release nun according to the asian-looking guy in the apple center yesterday. then as usual, went to safeway/big w supermarket (ito ung sm hypermart nla d2 sa melbourne) & queen victoria wet market to buy essentials for this week. i cooked mussel in garlic & tomato sauce. i got the recipe from the cookbook i bought when we went to royal melbourne show two weeks ago. sabi ni baby, masarap naman dw, pwede na hehe (thanks luv!). then we had a tea session with vincent & joni in their unit while watching australian idol.

gotta go now, i have to do the laundry pa.. :) til next post guys :)
