I Suck On Contest But Lucky On FRIENDS

That was my Facebook status. That’s because I suck on contests. And though Red’s journey as a blogger involves a lot of winnings, mine does not. I don’t believe in luck, I believe in hard working, so for some contests that I have won, there’s effort on it and not luck.

But that is not the point.

The point is, my most memorable experience as blogger, an official entry to Red’s Blogversary Contest.

Events? The allure of going out, attending like a press and being treated like a press? And bringing home a lot of freebies?

nah.

Earnings? as in $$$$$

quite.

The most memorable experience I had is the time I opened my life to the blogniverse. That was when I poured my emotions on how happy I was to have a baby girl finally. Here’s some part of that article:

During the time that the OB was explaining and checking the baby, counting the fingers, heart rate, diameter etc, the more important things, my mind is winning (it says it’s a boy dammit! Stop hoping!). And so when she finally says let’s take a look on the sex and we can’t find any balls, I was ecstatic, I was happy; I was everything words cannot explain. It was more than having a Page Rank of 10, more than having an Alexa ranking of 1, it was more than having 100 comments a day. The feeling was more than I could imagine, more that I have ever felt in my whole life. Oh shit just right now while writing this, I am crying. I cried a little, was embarrassed to do a cry a river scene there. I kept my composure but my whole body is aching, there is so much happiness in me that I need to let out. As soon as I got the results I went to the nearest bathroom and poured my emotions there. I guess I convinced myself too much that it was a boy. I really did not expect it to be a girl. I know now how it feels when you want something so bad but gave up on it already.

It was my most memorable experience as 11 people shared the same happiness to me and dream with me, pray with me and wait with me..

FRIENDSHIP.

more than that. the most apt is HOME.

I found a home in the blogniverse, in the arms of this ladies who haven’t even met me yet. These are the ladies that made me whole, made me feel loved and gave me the reason to believe on magic. I have never felt this good to other people. I just cannot explain the closeness and the bond that we all share. That is the best thing that ever happened to me as a blogger. Finding my marces, finding my sisters.

And as the day goes by and as I meet more and more people, I still cannot imagine how lucky I am for these ladies. There is no one that can come close to what I had found in my marces and for that I am forever thankful to discovering blog.. if not for that, I wouldn’t have the courage to open my life to them. And I wouldn’t have the chance to be part of their lives too.

I love you guys!

Morning Sickness That Last All DAYS

I feel so hot and no not that kind of hotness.. if it has been the case, I wouldn’t be complaining here, heck you wouldn’t even find me here.. Hot as in I want t take a bath every minute. And then the vomiting and nausea..

Yes it’s morning sickness once again.. and no I am not pregnant.

I am on pills again.. and the side effects is killing me slowly.. it drains my energy.. it has been 4 days since and all I do is stare on my PC, do nothing and feel nauseated.

I really hate this feeling.. I wish I can use other form of birth control. I can’t do tubal ligation due to financial constraints.. and yeah I chicken out. I can’t do depo or injectibles.. high blood will kill me. I can’t do condom, er it’s not effective. I know all of you knows that. And that leaves us to two option, one is IUD and the other, vasectomy.

IUD. I am still contemplating on it.. still afraid..not on the side effects but the act of inserting the T shaped rod on my vagina straight to my cervix. And not to mention that I need to check on it from time to time. Just the thought of it makes me cringe.

Vasectomy. Now that would be the best option, for me of course.. but not to my husband. Can you give me at least two names of a husband who had undergone vasectomy with no issues at all? Let’s face it, our country is very rich in macho culture. And having the ability to have kids is like a macho symbol. And if that ability is gone, it’s like their manhood is gone too. Other concern like, lost interest in sex is another thing. Oh gawd, guys can be pain in the ass.

But little by little, he is thinking about that option.. or at least he is pretending he is interested on it.

Oh wait, I need to throw up now.
