33 weeks

since getting pregnant, i've noticed a lot of people have been nicer to me. i get offered seats at crowded bart cars, offers to step ahead of the line to use the bathroom, or to warn me about slippery floors and how to avoid them. i guess people realize how difficult it is to get pregnant, maybe some are appreciative of their wives or mothers who were once pregnant, women are nicer to me too maybe because they're glad they're not pregnant. hehe it's been difficult...i only have 7 weeks to go before mj is born and today (again) i feel the heaviness of my belly. it's hard to walk...i really really waddle like a duck now. i use the bathroom every 15 minutes and when i try to hold it, it becomes more difficult to walk. my legs are exceptionally huge (they were were extremely large to begin with) because of swelling. im gonna try to walk everyday from now and and put my feet up as much as i can when i'm resting. my wedding and engagement rings are getting tighter...i can still remove them from my fingers but they are now tight. i hope that's because my fingers are swollen and not because my 'fatness' has reached my fingers. my face is rounder now and i often see a hint of a 'double chin' when i look in the mirror.

on msnbc.com, i saw this book.
and yes i will buy it! it's a 30 day guide to losing weight after having a baby. actresses have supposedly used this plan to shed their baby weight and i plan on trying it out. =) hope it works!

thursdays...

wrote these paragraphs at work:

im so bored right now i don't know what else to do! it's been such a slow summer here at work. i wish i just stayed home and slept.

today, i feel heavy...like i wish i hadn't over indulged myself with food the last 8 months (no regrets on the ice cream intake though). i will go back to 'healthy eating' after all the celebrations are over...namely: my nephew's bday tomorrow and the church anniversary on sunday. i will eat mostly veggies from monday until the baby shower on the 19th (Lord, help me!!!!)

today is my coworker's bday and we're going to get free lunch. mexican food...so rice and beans are part of the menu...yikes!


i was 'smart' enough to only eat half my burrito. the other half i've saved for lunch tomorrow. =)


wrote these at home:
earlier, i wished i hadn't picked up my phone. on thursdays, i usually just spend the entire afternoon at home, in bed, watching tv or reading. i had my afternoon all planned out today already...i go home, rest a little, walk for 30 mins, rest, pick up my car at the bart station, talk to my husband, sleep. i was hoping to do all that but i hit a bump in the road...

an old friend called...and while it was cool to see her again, i was upset at myself that i said yes to her invitation when in my head and in my heart i was screaming "no!!!" i didn't want to go anywhere because i take it easy on thursdays and already had the afternooon planned. but too late, i said yes and could no longer take it back because i always flake on her. (well, we always flake on each other!)

anyway, met her at starbucks...the ironic thing is that i just told chel yesterday that i do not like hangging out at coffee shops. while others find it a relaxing place to hang out and chat with friends, i don't find it quite as comfortable. i can go there every once in a while, but it's not really a place i'd want to hang out. there are too many distractions, the seats are not that comfortable and while i drink coffee now, i still do not like the smell of coffee or coffee shops. my friend and i talked for a little bit - less than an hour...she was busy working, too, so i didn't feel bad about staying for just an hour. we agreed to have dinner next week though, which i wont be surprised if she cancels. i guess we have a convenient friendship...we show up only when necessary and convenient...don't get me wrong, we're there for each other but we really don't hang out as much as other friends...we have a different group of friends we regularly hang out with...we see each other several times a year and that's enough for us. i felt bad feeling upset earlier about having to see her. but after seeing her, i felt glad i said yes. =)

sweating in the warm california sun!!!

i have been living in daly city for almost 9 years now and this is the hottest it's ever been. one whole week of sunshine and rising temperatures...electric fans working non-stop...i've only experienced this when i was in college when i was still at davis. temperatures there get to as high as 110F so the high 70s and low 80s we experienced in daly city was still considered cool temperatures...today is another hot day. energy reserves are expected to dip as people return to work...black outs might occur, hopefully nothing like the black outs in new york where some people have been without electricity for more than a week.

last friday was my mom's bday. she doesn't like celebrating and it's always hard to find her a present because she always says she doesn't need or want anything. but on Saturday, we went to dinner with the family and i got her a little something, too. =) when we were at the restaurant having dinner, we were all perspiring because the restaurant had no air conditioning. most places in and around san francisco don't have air conditioning because it never really gets hot, but like i mentioned earlier, it has been a really hot week. food was good at hon lin...it always is. i love their peking duck and their fried noodles.

i've been up since 4 am and now im really sleepy and hungry. i woke up because i could feel my right leg was starting to cramp so i tried to stretch my leg...but i couldn't go back to sleep afterwards. i was also thinking about paul's nbi clearance and all the other things that need to be done by tomorrow. his interview is on wednesday at 7:30 am. i pray that everthing will be in order...no more hassles, no more glitches so that paul will be here on august 10th.

changed my next prenatal appointment from aug 10 to aug 11. i forgot that the nurse said not to schedule in on a thursday because they do not have tuberculosis testing on thursdays. i'm supposed to get a skin test at my next appointment which im sure will result in a false positive for me. since my skin is so sensitive, skin test are always inconclusive for me. i'm sure they'll ask me to come back again or do a blood test to confirm the test results. the tb test is routine for prenatal check ups. so far, mommy and baby have been healthy, praise God! =)

halatang wala akong ginagawa no? chel's taking over most of my work stuff so that she'll be comfortable when i go on maternity leave. i'm sure she'll do a great job. =)

meaningless

I read something earlier about howard hughes and the life he lead.

At age 45, howard hughes was one of the most glamorous and richest men in america. He went out with actresses, piloted beautiful aircraft, and worked on top-secret CIA contracts. He owned hotels around the world and even had his own airline, TWA, to take him wherever he pleased.

20 years later, he was worth $2.3 billion dollars. But the world’s richest man back then had changed and began to live a pathetic life. He lived in small, dark rooms atop his hotels, without sun and without joy. He was unkempt: a scraggly beard had grown waist-length, his hair fell well down on his back and his fingernails were two inches long. His once powerful 6’4" frame had shrunk to about 100 pounds.

This famous man spent most of his time watching movies over and over, with the same movie showing as many as 150 times. He lay naked in bed, deathly afraid of germs. Life held no meaning for him. Finally, emaciated and hooked on drugs, he died at age 67, for lack of medical device his own company had helped to develop. (The Student Bible, New International Version, Copyright 1986, 1992, 1996 Zondervan Corporation, Michigan, USA)

Howard hughes may be an extreme example of what it means to live a meaningless life, but he is not alone. The wisest man to ever live also saw life as meaningless. King Solomon wrote the book of proverbs, a book he wrote as a guide to righteousness and faith…and yet, there was a period in his life where he did not listen to his own advice and led a life of folly and selfishness. And then he wrote the book of Ecclesiastes. In Chapter 2 verse 10 to 11, he said, "I denied myself nothing my eyes desired; I refused my heart no pleasure. My heart took delight in all my work, and this was the reward for all my labor. Yet, when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun."

We work hard to achieve earthly riches. I was recently told that there was a man who held 2 full-time jobs for about 20 years hoping to retire before he was 50. He had bought land and owned a farm and still kept his two jobs. Recently, he was rushed to the hospital, both his kidneys had failed and needs regular dialysis treatment in order to stay alive. Who knows if he will be healthy enough to enjoy all the riches he amassed? It makes you stop and think, was it worth it?

Solomon says no. the wisdom that the Lord had given him did not completely disappear while he lived his life away from the counsel of the Lord. he lived his life the way he wanted to, he was the richest and most popular king of his time. kings from distant lands paid homage to him and gave him gifts. he had many, many, many wives...many of whom served and worshiped pagan gods. he did everything he wanted and got everything he wanted. yet when he reexamined his life, and all that he worked hard to achieve, he realized that it was meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

the Lord Jesus Christ sums everything up in Matthew 16:26 "What good will it be for a man if he gains the whole world, yet forfeits his soul? Or what can man give in exchange for his soul?" what are the true benefits of gaining wealth, of having everything we want? while the Lord wants us to prosper here on earth, that does not mean we have to sacrifice the things that really matter. when the Lord blesses, He adds no sorrow with it. we obey Him, we follow Him, we develop that personal relationship with Him. we call Him our personal Lord and Savior...not just the One who died for all, but the God who in His infinite love, lowered Himself and allowed Himself to go through the pain and death that you and i deserved...He thought about each and everyone of us when He died on that cross. when we make Him Lord of our lives, He becomes our true friend...our only source and resource...we seek first His kingdom, we delight ourselves in Him and then He gives us the desires of our heart. He blesses us because we are faithful and we are obedient.

what is it that a man wants? man seems insatiable in his appetite for wealth and power. howard hughes and the other man i wrote about earlier gained the wealth they sought at the price of their sanity and health. they overlooked their relationship with family and friends, they didn't take care of their health, and more importantly, they neglected the relationship they should have developed with the Lord. solomon turned his life around...in the end of Ecclesiastes he wrote "now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: fear God and keep his commandments for this is the whole duty of man. for God will bring every deed into judgement, including everything hidden thing, whether it is good or evil" Ecclesiastes 12:13-14. in the end he acknowledged that it is the life with the Lord that is important - it is the whole duty of man, and all our actions are subject to God's judgement.

the Lord should never be 2nd best. He is to take priority in our lives...otherwise, life would be truly meaningless.

Enjoy your life!

Enjoy Your Life!
Whitney Hopler
Crosswalk.com Contributing Writer


When your alarm clock goes off in the morning, do you wish you could just stay in bed? Do your struggles and responsibilities weigh you down with frustration, boredom, or hopelessness? If so, rest assured that God wants you to have a much better life – one that you enjoy! God will give you the ability to enjoy life, no matter what your circumstances.
Here’s how you can enjoy your life:

* Look for fulfillment in the right place. Stop looking for true and lasting satisfaction in the wrong places, such as through your work, personal pleasure, or accumulation of knowledge or material possessions. Realize that only God can provide the fulfillment you seek. Make a strong relationship with Him your top priority.

* Give yourself permission. Don’t feel guilty about enjoying the blessings God gives you. Understand that denying yourself enjoyment doesn’t somehow make you a more seriously spiritual person. Remember that God Himself is joyful and intends you to fully enjoy the gifts He gives you. Go ahead and have fun pursuing your interests, knowing that as long as you don’t engage in anything harmful, you can enjoy your pursuits.

* Notice God’s gifts, and thank Him for them. Make it a daily practice to thank God for each new day after you awaken. Throughout the day, keep a running list of specific things for which you’re grateful. Then, before going to bed, pray over your list, thanking God for each one. Don’t forget to acknowledge basic blessings, such as your freedom or ability to buy healthy food.

* Place the seasons of your life in God’s hands. Ask God to transform your attitudes and bring positive results out of negative situations as you travel through life’s seasons. Rely on God’s unchanging power in the midst of changes you experience in all aspects of your life. Rather than battling the season you currently find yourself in, ask God what He wants to you to learn from it, and trust Him to give you the encouragement and strength you need. Whenever you’re going through a tough time, serve other people to take your focus off yourself and find genuine enjoyment as God broadens your perspective. Know that, while life is unpredictable, your faith in God will always stand.

* Don’t isolate yourself. Understand that God has created all human beings to engage in relationships – with Him and each other. Make sure you’re investing plenty of time and energy in relationships, which will give you lots to enjoy. Pray about specific challenges in your relationships, trusting God to give you the solutions you need.

* Use your time wisely. Regularly remind yourself of how fragile and fleeting life on earth can be, and that every day is a gift from God. Don’t fall into the traps of being either lazy or too driven, missing out on God’s best for you. Ask God to give you wisdom to use your time each day as He would like you to use it, according to His purposes for your life.

* Place God at the center of your marriage. If you’re married, realize that your marriage isn’t about just you and your spouse. Ultimately, it’s about God, the source of your love. Invite God to guide your marriage and use it to transform you and your spouse into the people He wants you to become. Trust that when you do so, you’ll open the door to a much more enjoyable marriage than you could have otherwise.

* Turn your worries into prayers. Whenever a worry enters your mind, pray about it. Know that worry can’t accomplish anything good, but prayer has great power, since nothing is impossible with God. Be specific as you share your concerns with God, and trust Him to answer your prayers in the right way at the right time.

* Pursue contentment. Ask God to help you be content with your money, your health, and other situations in your life. Realize that true contentment doesn’t depend on external circumstances, but on internal peace that only God can give. Trust God to do what’s absolutely best for you at all times and in all situations.


* Find friends with crazy faith. Don’t confront sorrow or pressure alone. Ask God to provide friends who have so much faith that it sometimes seems crazy – friends who will boldly proclaim that God can perform miracles in your life. Surround yourself with these friends, ask them to pray for you, and thank God for them.

* Regularly clear sin out of your life. Ask God to constantly search your heart and show you areas of sin that you need to deal with in order to truly enjoy life. Confess your sins honestly and frequently, repent of them, and embrace God’s forgiveness and grace to keep growing. Expect that the more you submit every part of your life to God, the more of His wisdom He will reveal to you.

* Forgive others and yourself. Don’t allow bitterness to poison your heart and keep you stuck in unhealthy patterns; instead, pray for the ability to forgive, and ask God to help you move beyond challenges with confidence.

* Be patient. Remember that there is an end to every trial. Instead of giving into temptation, press closer into God and ask Him to renew your strength during a hard time. If you don’t see immediate answers to your prayers, keep praying, and expect God to answer them at exactly the right time.

* Personalize Scripture verses. Every day, read the Bible and invite God to lead you to Scripture passages that relate to your current experiences. Then paraphrase them in a personal way, either aloud or by writing down God’s fresh messages for you.

* Don’t let your emotions lead you. Decide to trust in God’s reliable leading rather than your own unreliable and constantly shifting feelings. If you sense God leading you clearly to act, go ahead and do so, even when it doesn’t make sense to you.

* Trust that God will redeem your mistakes. Expect that, just like all imperfect people living in our fallen world, you will make mistakes. But also expect that God will right what you’ve wronged if you invite Him to do so.

* Give generously. Don’t wait until it’s convenient for you to help others. Decide to give whenever God leads you to, trusting that God will give you joy in return.

* Take care of your body, mind, and spirit. Recognize that you’ll enjoy life much more if you’re in your best possible physical, mental, and spiritual health than if you neglect one or more of these areas. Eat a healthy diet, get enough sleep and exercise, constantly seek to learn something new, and stay close to God through Christ.

today's thoughts

today, lunch was spicy shrimp crepe (price is almost $8...ang mahal!) from 'crepe and curry' at the embarcadero center. it was pretty tasty. it had moneterey jack cheese, roma tomatoes, shrimp, a little mayo and vietnamese hot sauce. it wasn't that filling so i'm still a little bit hungry right now...makes me wonder if it was worth the money i paid because chel and i share chinese food for lunch for less than that we both end up feeling so full afterwards. but it put me in a 'crepe' mood so i might try to make some crepes this weekend and save myself $8.

im thinking whether i should buy another pair of maternity jeans from the gap. i currently have 2 pairs of maternity jeans but unfortunately, both are already masikip. =( i have spent a lot of money on maternity clothes already and i only have about 9 weeks to go. i probably wont buy anymore and just try to squeeze myself into the ones i have....sayang ang pera! hehe

aaaaarrrrrrrrrrhhhhh! we saw pirates of the caribbean on sunday. the first one was still better and this second movie was 'masyadong bitin' because it was preparing the way for the third installment of the movie. it was long, over 2 hours. the special effects were great but it lacked the excitement that the first movie was so full of. but still, the movie did extremely well in the box office. it had its funny moments and johnny depp's acting as captain jack sparrow is always entertaining. keira knightley is waaaaaay too skinny, a sight i'm trying to avoid these days. orlando bloom is still his charming, pretty boy, self...in a rugged, parang-hindi-naliligo kind of way! hahaha! nobody in the movie looked like they were fond of taking a shower anyway. =)

on to more serious things...israel and lebanon...i don't know all the details regarding what happened but i just pray that the fighting would cease very soon. i do not want to read too much about it because whenever israel gets involved in a conflict, i get anxious because it involves God's chosen people and it makes me wonder about the greater spiritual significance of everything that's happening. the united states is being very cautious in its stand because from what i read, it was israel who shot the first rocket and since israel is a very close ally of the u.s., president bush is watching his words and being careful about the things he says regarding the matter. had it been lebanon to have fired first, i believe that u.s. forces will be all over the area within half an hour of the first strike. let's wait and see and keep the region in our prayers.

around the world today

the issues in today's news has me alarmed...

first, north korea and kim jong il. north korea has tested 7 missiles over the last two days in a blatant display of aggression. it is said that the missiles are capable of reaching the western united states but according to the news, the missiles have failed and blew up shortly after the launch. this is something the global community should be concerned about. north korea has the 4th largest army in the world and obviously has nuclear capabilities. north korea is no iraq or afghanistan...the armies are trained well and trained to kill. who knows what kim jong il will be up to next.


next, ken lay of enron died today...somehow i feel as if there's a little more to it than just a heart attack. when i first saw it in the news this morning, i thought to myself, 'oh! he decided to take the easy way out!' the love of money is the root of all evil and because of his greed, he scammed and took millions of dollars away from hard-working americans. i'm only speculating that he commited suicide after being found guilty of fraud last month. in my head im thinking the humiliation was too much for him to bear. his sentencing was supposed to be later this year but because of his untimely death, his victims will not see him go to prison.

mommy woes

i am now approaching 30 weeks and i am beginning to have more difficulty moving. i used to still be able to move around pretty fast but now, i really have to take extra precaution. getting out of bed and up from the sofa is harder now...it's harder to drive because i feel as if my stomach's in the way of the steering wheel so i have to scoot the seat farther back. i really try to move more slowly because the quicker i move, the heavier my tummy feels. i haven't exercised in almost a week because i'm getting scared the baby might decide to make an entrance (an exit from my body) as i exercise. that's how it feels whenever i try to go for a walk on the treadmill. she kicks me so hard now she makes me wince. i didn't realize how much a 3 pound baby can hurt me, but now i do and will no longer underestimate her strength. it's painful and scary. i think i'm starting to really feel what they call 'the braxton-hicks contractions' it's contractions that are similar to the actual contraction at childbirth. this is another scary occurance because since this is my first pregnancy, i don't really know the difference between the braxton-hicks contractions and the real one. i hope they are the fake ones because i've been feeling them for days and i don't want to go into pre-term labor.

im also starting to feel sad that paul has not been with me to any of my prenatal visits. =( we are to wait about 4 more weeks before he arrives and we are both getting impatient having to wait so long. he's getting frustrated with the american embassy in the philippines since he has to go back and forth and wait long hours only to find out that his papers have not been forwarded to the right office. i try to encourage him whenever i can and hide my own frustrations. our frustration wont speed up the process anyway.

i have a doctor's appointment tomorrow and i will request for another ultrasound to confirm the sex of our baby. i believe she's a girl but i want to be 100% sure because i want to get her all the right things in all the right colors =)

4th of july

i have nothing better to do. today, i decided to just rest and take a break. i've been busy with our friends from Portland in town the last few days. it's been fun hanging out with them and getting to know them better. and now, while they are enjoying the heat of Southern California and Las Vegas, i am in bed with the TV on, wishing I were more ‘mobile’. it's been harder and harder to move. MJ’s getting heavier and heavier and i’m trying to be more cautious with my movements and all the things i do. i’ll cut back on my exercise and eat healthier (today doesn’t count because today’s a holiday! had ice cream for lunch and with dinner…who’s gonna stop me? no one! (chel and paul are not around so no ice cream police to stop me! hehehe not today at least)

so as i sit here and do nothing…i decided to make a list of my favorite things (not that people care)…some of these things I own and some of them i wish i owned. =)

Some of my favorite things (in no particular order):
1. Volvo XC90-loaded, still praying will have this by next year! =)
2. Ice cream from Ghirardelli, Cold Stone, or Marble Slab. On regular days, Dreyer’s Light Slow Churned ice cream will do.
3. Ginisang munggo
4. Crab-crabbing off of pier 3 has become a family past time
5. Lumpiang Shanghai
6. Nokia phones – the most user friendly phones I’ve ever owned are Nokia phones
7. Cable TV
8. Internet
9. Nasu Hasamiage from Spiral – the waiters at Spiral already know I order this as soon as I’m seated. It takes longer to prepare than their other dishes
10. Make-up and moisturizer from Lancome
11. Tsinelas-if I can wear tsinelas sa lahat ng occassions, I probably would
12. Isaw
13. My Bible
14. A nice glass of Chardonnay
15. Venice, Italy – the most romantic, dream–like place I’ve ever been to
16. Palawan – the most beautiful ‘natural’ place I’ve ever been to
17. A good movie at the Metreon while having chicken fingers and curly fries
18. A really good book
19. A warm jacket in cold San Francisco
20. Potato chips
21. A good pair of sunglasses
22. Jeans by Halogen-my best fit so far
23. F-R-I-E-N-D-S reruns

24. A good massage

it's a short list. i can't think straight right now, that's how bored i am. =) i'm just waiting for the fireworks to start on tv since i'm 'too big' (and too lazy) to go to the wharf to watch it live.

visitors from the northwest

last nite, paul's friends from intel arrived from their drive from portland. joel, jasmin and baby neema are our house guests while rod, janet, and their two adorable girls are staying with relatives. but they all had dinner here at home last nite along with jay (also from portland) and gracious. we were watching the pacquiao fight on pay per view and like comcast has done in the past, the picture disappears as soon as the main event starts. we wait for half an hour for the picture to come back on while i tried to get in touch with someone from comcast, of course, there's nobody there to pick up the phone. i remembered to order the fight on a different tv set and we saw the rest of the match. i'll deal with comcast tomorrow at work and give them an earful.

anyway, back to our guests...i spent the day yesterday preparing the food and tidying up the house a little bit before the guests arrive. i was tired by the end of the day but glad that they decided to spend part of their week-long vacation here in san francisco. i'm working until noon tomorrow and then i'll take them sight seeing after work. after san francisco, they're heading to l.a. then las vegas, and then maybe they'll head back here, maybe spend the night, on their way back to portland.

bought a cute outfit for neema, too. she's paul's god daughter (and ofcourse, mine too) so i got her a little something (from ninong paul and ninang mimie). in a few months, we'll have our own little baby, too. =)

paul's going to book his flight for august 4. we pray, all goes smoothly and he gets his visa by then. =)

a nite at the movies...

superman's back in a very looong movie! the story's ok. not much action, more drama as superman/clark kent tries to get his life back together after being in a 5-year hiatus. brandon routh is a very good looking superman but i like his voice best. deep and sexy...i wonder if that's his real voice. anyway, it's still a movie worth watching because you there's going a sequel within the next couple of years.

looking forward to the spiderman 3 movie coming out next year. now that looks like an action packed, super-hero movie!

more movies...can't wait to see the pirates of the carrebean this weekend. will be watching the devil wears prada, too.
