I got my way

I was just discussing with hubby about the car we will buy. I told him that I also want to buy a new one so that we don’t need to check engine light so often like we do now with the second hand van that we bought for the farm.

We were looking at several cars, something like Toyota Camry would be a bit too small for the 12 kids I plan on having . We need a big car like a van or a hummer :D . We first looked a Toyota Hi Ace but then I remembered that I saw something similarly big in Ford, the E-150 which I really really like. I told him to check it out and too.

I am happy he liked it because that’s what I already chosen in my mind as it kinda looked a bit like the Hummer. I am sure this car wiill be with us for a very long time as hubby is a pretty good driver. In the 7 years that we are married, not once did we ever had to bring his car to an auto repair shop.

Hello! Welcome back to my blog :)

Happy Mode

After my rant the other day, I decided it’s time to really put some effort and get my happy mode back. Andrea said in her comment, try to focus on other things you love. I thought about it and now I am doing those things I love like cooking, baking, and looking at photographs I have taken and I think it is helping.  I love what she said too:

Always remember that there is more to you and more to your life than just being a mom.

Thank you for reminding me Andrea. I guess I sort of got obsessed in getting pregnant and stopped enjoying and appreciating other things I have in my life.

I am now busying myself with the preparations of our upcoming relocation. We will be moving for good to the Philippines. I am already excited. There would be a lot to do in this move but I don’t mind.

Why I haven’t been writing much here

As I look at my entries the last couple of months, I see that most were paid posts or memes. Well it is becaus I have been feeling down on and off lately for several months now and had no energy to write anything that made sense. Do you know what I mean?

I try to fight this dreaded state to the best of my ability, believe me. I try to think of things to do and plan stuff but sometimes the day pass by and I haven’t really accomplished anything. Sometimes my husband would ask me to do something and I will say yes but end up forgetting about it which will lead to some arguments.

Some of the things that I suspect to cause me to be in this mode was the first ever pregnancy that didn’t push through and then, just this January a failed embryo transfer, it was difficult for me. I tried to recover from the grief as soon as I can, I try live my life as normal as I can.

I  do stuff to keep my mind from dwelling on my lost so I went ahead with the holiday we have already planned and then went on a few more afterwards. I try my best to be in a happy mode despite the negative thoughts that come once in awhile. My hubby is a great support as always. Whenever he sees I am not my normal self, he cheers me up. He’s the reason why I keep going.

What I want right now is to be back with my happy self, I know it’s up to me to pick myself up but why am I having such a hard time. Any advice you can give?

My lips turned blue

Last night though has been a very scary night for me. When I thought I have been already recovering, I got chills just before we were about to go a to bed. I was thrilling from the cold. I have never had this before and it was scary! My lips turned blue !

I went to take a warm bath but the water was not warm enough yet …I was hyperventilating. My husband kept telling me to calm down and breathe through my nose. Because if I continue breathing through my mouth, I will lose consciousness. Since the water was not warm enough I just hold on to my husband’s body to get a bit warm, I was thrilling all the time. I tried to calm down and breath through my nose like my hubby instructed me.

Hubby brought me to bed and covered me in blankets while I waited for the water to get warm. He called me when the water was already warm and stayed with me till I was done. I did felt better after the shower.

We were wondering what could have caused this. I have throat infection, so my lips turning blue was very unexpected. We went to sleep when I felt better. Around 1 am, I woke up because I was feeling warm, when I checked my temperature it was 40 celsius. I was freaking out because I know that this is high… and what if it goes even higher ? I took something for my fever went back to sleep and hoped I don’t die in my sleep…I am not ready to die yet.

At around 6 am I woke up and I was all wet with sweat but I feel good. I think I am ok now, I feel better anyway than I have felt in the last couple of days. Thanks to the caring hands of my dear hubby. I am so lucky to have a husband like him.

I am happy to be alive! This is like a wake up call for me. I now will always take my vitamins, eat more greens and do some more physical activities.

Happy Holidays

MommaWannabe is in Hong Kong

By the time you read this we are already strolling around Hong Kong . We are here to celebrate our 7th Year Anniversary ;) , we will be for 4 days!!! I am so excited, this is the first time for me to visit Hong Kong.

Anyway my gosh I cannot believe it has been that long already. I am very fortunate to find Jules, my better half 7 years ago and I am looking forward to all the 77 years more that we will be together. He’s a wonderful person and he’s a part of me, meaning my life is meaningless without him in it.

Jules & Jade

I won’t stay too long as I still need to finish up packing. See you Tuesday my lovelies, and watch out for the Hong Kong - Macau Trip stories!
