When September came, most people began to think of the coming Christmas. Although some may find it weird but in some parts of Asia, vendors are now selling Christmas decorations. I actually know some people who already started their shopping. I also happen to know a lot of people who were done shopping now. I must admit that there are times that I think of starting early but there are times that I am too lazy to shop. If there is one thing that I never get tired of buying, that would be candies. I know for a fact that when you buy bulk candy, you can save a lot. It’s like a Christmas habit to me now, buying candies and lots of them.
Some may wonder why I buy a lot of candies but I know most of you understood the importance of candies during Christmas. Admit it or not, Christmas is for the kids and those young at hearts. What else can make kids happy but of course, CANDIES!
Did you know that in some parts of the world, there is a tradition of hanging socks before Christmas? They say that Santa would fill it with gifts or goodies.
When I was a kid, I dream of hanging a humongous size sock and hope that Santa can fill it with my favorite toys. Of course now, I know Santa is real, but thanks to my hubby, he has been my Santa since we were together (this coming Christmas, I am planning to hang a pillow case instead of sock). Back to candies, now that I am already an adult, and still TTC (trying to conceive), I have my nephews and nieces to think of. We will be bringing home a lot of candies for their socks and some of it we can use for giveaways and game prizes.
Hello! Welcome back to my blog :)
When I am not blogging, I am daydreaming and preparing to become a momma. I often browse around babynamesforbabies.com to look for possible names for my future babies. It’s a bit overwhelming thinking about all these things. Of course all parents wants the perfect first name for their baby, right? We have several names already in mind but I will keep it as a secret for now.
As some of you know, my hubby is Dutch so we did look at several Dutch baby names as well but after talking about it with my hubby, we decided to have a more international name for our kids like my name Jade for example.
What you should also consider when choosing a first name, is its effects on your baby’s last name. You may be setting him up for future disaster! Some tend to overlook how the combination of their baby’s first name and last name -if it will work together.You only get to do this once so better get it right from the beginning. Keep in mind, that it’s not about you! Your little boy or girl is going to have to live with this name for the rest of their life. If they change it on their 18th birthday, you probably did a bad job of giving him or her the name.
Say it Out Loud – to see if it sounds good. Some names do look good on paper but sound terrible on the tongue.
The truth is any name you choose can be made fun of, in one way or another, but these are just some ways to make sure you avoid the most obvious mistakes. Above all, be sure to say your baby’s whole name out loud so that you can evaluate its entire sound.
Good luck in finding that perfect name for your baby!

I just wanted to share with you this news about a woman who conceived a second baby after being pregnant of 2 and a half weeks. This is just out of ordinary as according to an expert, this hardly occurs in humans.This mostly occur in rodents, rabbits and most farm animals.
The interesting part here is that her expected due date for the first baby is at the end of 2009 and the second one is expected on the first weeks of 2010!
And this reminds me of my pregnant girlfriend Pehpot who is very pregnant at the moment with a baby girl name Sati…you must be careful girl if you don’t want to be pregnant continuously 
You can see the video to know more about it here.
After my missed miscariage, I anxiosly wated fo my period to come. My period started (and so I thought) after less than 4 weeks. I got some blood spotting and it lasted for about a week. I thought that it was my period already but then I got again my period after four days. This time it lasted for one week and 5 days. This has been the weirdest period I have ever had. It was not as heavy as I would normally get.
I hope that my next period normalize. My doctor said that I need to get atleast 3 normal periods before we can consider the Embryo Transfer again. He told me to visit the clinic when I get my 2nd period, to check (I guess) if my body is already getting back to normal.
So I am guessing we would do it again in November – if all works out.
The holidays are coming and I am very excited. This is my favorite time of the year as a kid and till now actually. I remember that we always get tons of surprises from grandma at this time. The atmosphere is just so warm and loving! The house would have lots of goodies like chocolates lying around during Christmas. This is the time when the whole family is spending time together. I miss those times. I miss playing with my cousins and bossing them around as I was the oldest at that time – and just being a kid with nothing to worry about.
Now I am so craving for some chocolate candy! Even one bar of Butterfingers or Hershey’s would would suffice my carvings. But sadly I cannot eat chocolates at the moment as I get tons of pimples. Life is so unfair 
!
Well even if I cannot eat chocolate, I would still give my nieces and godchildren some goodies this Christmas if I can go back to the Philippines for a holiday. Candies and chocolates would surely make the children happy. I know that for a fact because I am still a big kid inside.
For parties and special occasions like Christmas and reunions, you can never go wrong if you bring candies and I know the place where to get them, check out SugarStand – they have a biggest selection of sweets,candies and chocolates I have ever seen. Believe me, you would feel like a kid again when you browse through their selections. They have the popular brands like Tootsie Roll, Wrigeley, Hersheys and I think everything else you could think of.
Ahh thinking about holiday and chocolates makes me so happy! Anyhoo, if you are preparing for the holidays too like me, take my advice shop for candies. Happy Candy Shoppping!
That’s what I plan to do these coming months. I will get back to learning the tricks of dslr photography. I know there are tons of things to learn and it would be a great opportunity to focus on something else rather than stressing too much on conceiving.
So my plan this week is to find a good USB drive where I will store all the photos I will make. So that’s what I just did this morning, I browsed the net and during my search for a cute flash drive I came across a site called FlashDealer.com that offers Promotional Jump Drive at very reasonable prices. You won’t believe the prices, some are as low as $3.95/piece! I don’t think I have seen anywhere else cheaper and aside from that they also offer a Lifetime Guarantee. Amazing right?
And if you look at their site, you will find very cute designs like these ones:
I would love to get a pink one with my blog name, that would be very cool I think. Hmmm, that’s a very nice idea. Let me think about it and maybe I’ll give it out to lucky readers.
So anyway, let’s get back to photography. I made the picture above in our mini rice field when we visited weeks ago. I always wanted to make a picture like this and now I finally had the opportunity. So what do you think? I know it is still very amateurish…but like I told you I still need to learn alot.
