"The weekend that was..." was absolutely amazing! Nothing can possibly compare the warmth of what you call home. No matter where that is, after all home is where the heart is...
Centrum Chewables
I pretty much enjoyed sleeping on time (earlier than usual), the reason why I somehow forgotten how much fun it is to blog. The past few days I've been feeling tired and sluggish. I guess multivitamins does that to your system. My husband has been bugging me to take my vitamins (for as long as I can remember, before even becoming his wife) but I just couldn't bring myself to take any medications unless of course my migraine is killing me! So, getting drowsy after taking my "chewable" vitamins motivated me to take it diligently...
Babyville
I cannot simply put down this book by Jane Green -- obviously about motherhood. As mentioned, vitamins make me drowsy but I forced myself to read on! The book is about the lives of three "indepedent, life and lust loving Brit women"... how motherhood changed their world, gave a whole new meaning to what they call life and love. It made me realize that I should enjoy every bit of my "pre-baby" married life. That despite the urge to have my little gurgling baby, I have yet to wait. I am after all loving my moments with Mark. I am horrified with the book's ultra vivid description of how newborns can actually alter marriage. (Postpartum depression eats up the wife and new mom. Alongside with bitterness and frustration of husband and new dad)
I hope that when the time comes for me and Mark, I would not turn into a crazy old witch bitch from hell! I pray that Mark with all his might would try to understand and be patient with me. That despite the exhaustion of childbirth and baby woes, I wouldn't be a dreadful sight for him as well. But of course, I value vanity hahaha!!! I still would want to be the woman my husband fell in love with (in the first place!). And these are all wishes, supposedly.
The book wasn't about the bads, like any other tale the twists and turns almost always gives you points to ponder on and happy thoughts to end with. It actually made me appreciate the whole babyville... making me scared yet excited!
Monthsarries
The weekend was amazing! San Diego's warm and sunny weather reminded me of home... but mostly because I am with Mark...ooh cheesy huh?! I have all the right to be elated. It is our seventh month, already! Yey! Not quite a feat for a married couple, but quite a ride for newlyweds.
I'm still overwhelmed! Still honeymooning... I'm glad I got over with gloom and boredom. I now wonder if it comes with the weather. After some time I stopped being nasty to myself. I have adjusted already to this new life I have, and you the witness to all that craziness. I have tried to entertain my once idle mind and it worked! (Thanks to blogging too!)
You may think it is geeky but the bookstore and the library is now a haven to me, next to the mall of course (backseat: salon and spa). Reading transports me to other places, fuels my imagination, and inspires me to write some more. On the other hand, malling rejuvenates me with all the walking and it feeds my shopping fancies (yah, I do give in sometimes).
Nothing really much to say about my so-called domesticity here, but that I'm very much in love and I'm glad I am! On to the seventh... happily married!

Obviously, I am a mother. Let me tell you something I have personally experienced. Not the tales those books love to enhance. There was no such thing as wicked cravings. I ate the same food. I craved for food the way I still do. No mood swings. None, whatsoever. Needless to say, there was no post partum depression from my end. Childbirth was everything, but never exhausting. Why? Because you just want it done and over with, and you want to see this lovely angel's features, and hug them and cuddle with them and things like that. I guess (in my opinion) those mood swings and post partum thingies are just lame excuses. Really. So don't be scared. It will all be worth it. I had the same feeling. I was dead scared, what with people telling me how painful it was gonna be, and things like that. So tainted that I didn't even realize that I was already in labor. They say you'll know coz it's the most painful thing on earth. Heck no. Your tummy is just contracting. That's all. Don't be a baby. :-)
