A ChubaMeg Update
I haven’t downloaded her 9th and 10th month celebration. But let me just post a few instagram photos with her milestones.
At 10 months:
She’s everywhere. She cruises a lot, crawls so fast from one place to another, stands on her own for 1-3 seconds
She knows how to get off the bed properly. Just say “FEET FIRST” and she will turn her body so that she’s on her belly with her feet dangling on the edge of the bed as she carefully checks if there’s something near that she can step on
She’s a picky eater, hates all mashed food including gerber bottles. But give her a pasta and she’ll clap and squeal as if saying “magnifico!”. She loves her spaghetti a lot that she can eat it everyday. She also eats fresh fruits like avocado, banana, melon, papaya and drinks a lot of water (finally!)
She can say ADEE (for ate sandy, I think) and dedede when she wants to breastfeed. She babbles a lot, sings, dances so well and loves to watch Pororo, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, Dibo, Timmy Time and Spongebob! Even if she’s crying, as soon as she hears the ending song of Spongebob, she will stop, kneel down and dance.
She knows how to do the following: Hello (hand on her ear), Oh No! (both hands on the side of her head with matching UHHHMMMMM), clap your hands, dance (side to side, jumping up and down, do the twist, put your hands in the air, maarena), High five, praise the lord, where’s the light.
And I know I said this already but she just looooooves dancing to Macarena. She puts her arms up and sometimes over her head. When you sing a slow song, she dances slowly too, just twisting her body from left to right with a silly small smile.
I could go on and on but to cut this long post short, Meg is just one adorable baby!
Is Blogging Soon!
For now, it’s too hot to get started. But I will definitely start updating again. I miss blogging and I owe it to Meg to continue recording her milestones the way I did with her Ate Sandy.
Safety
Thank God for 5th wheel warranty! My friend managed to get home safely when she was stranded during last week’s storm. This is why I myself refuse to drive. NO matter how much my husband nags me, I can’t bring myself to learn. I’m too scared to get stuck in traffic, storm or any other unexpected disasters. Plus I’ve seen so many road accidents that I can’t imagine myself being the one controlling the vehicle. I know I need to learn one of these days but if I can put it off, I will.
To Have Unlimited Shopping Funds
Before I research for Thyroid imbalance, let me just share with you my latest WANTS. I have no idea how or when will I be able to buy any of these but online window shopping gives me a certain high preventing stress from ever entering my system. I know these kind of posts make me sound like a shopaholic but who cares. I wish I could buy them but the best thing I can do right now is look. And look, is what I’m going to do

To-Dos: Shopping
So many things to do today but on the bright side, they all have to do with shopping. First, I need to shop online for wrestling tights and head gear for my nephew. He will compete next month and this is my gift to him.
Next, I need to get a quote for a wireless printer so we can finally have a decent working printer here at home. The husband insists on a wireless one ever since he saw our pediatrician’s. He loved the idea of being able to print directly from his iPhone or wherever you are in the house that he can’t wait to compare prices.
And saving the best for last, I am shopping for warm clothes for the girls! They both have grown so fast in the past couple of months that it’s time to get them new set of jackets, sweatshirts and long sleeves in time for the rainy days.
Swimsuit Season
Diet pills that work fast is the number one topic on this parenting forum that I frequently visit. Looks like everyone wants to get back into shape now that summer is here. Seeing all the conversations on how to look good in a swimsuit reminded me that I need to do some shopping for myself. Ever since I lost all my pregnancy weight, I found that my suits don’t fit anymore. They are loose, much to my delight! I hope I can find one that enhances the curves that I don’t have and also hides the marks from childbirth.
Loans
A friend was asking to loan some cash but since we’re also strapped these days, I told her to try applying for a payday advance loan. This type of loan has helped a lot of people who are in between paydays. Let’s face it. No matter how much we save for the rainy days, there are unexpected expenses like car troubles, appliances that need to be replaced, house repairs or even hospitalizations that can very quickly eat our savings. Anyway, the interest isn’t that high if you can pay in full. In fact, I recommend that even on credit card bills just so your debt will be manageable.
Sandy’s Moving Up Day – Kinder – 2011
We are proud parents, once again. Sandy finished Kinder and got the following awards – Most observant, Best in English and Most Outstanding in class (Kinder). She gave a speech, which would normally make me so nervous but I just know she’ll do a great job and she did. She loves performing and public speaking now (probably got it from me ROFL) so when she went up on stage, all I felt was excitement for her. I was a little sad too that she’s growing too fast, too soon. (You’ll notice that she’s on pigtails. I guess that’s my small way of making her look like a baby.)
Anyway, here are the photos from their Moving Up Day.
During her speech.
She danced Blue Suede Shoes, complete with twists and all. It was obvious that she was doing her best, sometimes even with her eyes closed. Both grandmothers were shouting with glee including yours truly. See the little me below. 
Congratulations, Sandy. Again, we are so proud of you!
The Yo-Yo
I’ve been reading sensa reviews the whole morning since I wanted to verify how healthy it is. A friend of mine wants to test diet supplements again but after her recent hospitalization (2 months ago), I want to make sure she’s not taking anything she’s not supposed to. I hope she can finally meet her weight goal. It doesn’t have to be unbelievably skinny which is what she was aiming for but something healthy at least that she will start to feel great about herself. Ever since she started dieting 5 months ago, she managed to lose 10-20lbs only to gain it back again in a few weeks. I know how unhealthy it is so I do my best to force her to exercise, eat healthy and research first before trying anything.
Cape Town vs Johannesburg
I was planning on looking for hot tub spa cover online but I got sidetracked by Anthology’s animal print ballet flats. I want to buy them both but since I can only afford one, I need to choose. Which is the hardest part! I have been looking for a nice pair of zebra flats but the leopard print invaded my dream last night. And you know what they say when you dream about something. Do something about it or it will turn into nightmare. Okay, I’ll admit. It was me who said it. But honestly, if you can’t stop thinking about it and you have the budget, plus your kids are not hungry, you have a home and savings, why not indulge in a little shopping spree. Trust me, you (we) deserve it.
