This August has been busy month for me and hubs and also lots of birthdays! I wanted to make a birthday post for those relatives and friends who are celebrating (about 20 celebrants) including mama-in-law this August earlier this month but then I failed to do so. Work has been so hectic and other matters along with it. Many special people close to my heart celebrated with me this August despite our distance. To name a few I'll start with my dear brother (aug.2), my older bro who treats me so dear and depends on me for many things most especially taking care of his precious baby Elisse. If you guys remember my birthday post he's the one who gave me that iphone. It's funny that between the two of us I tend to scold him more with a lot of things like I'm older than him. I guess I'm just more strict than him.
I also have a very dear friend whom I treat as my sister who happens to be a 15th celebrant like me. We always try to celebrate our birthdays yearly with group of friends (HS buddies) considering it as a reunion or get together at the same time. I make sure I set up a date yearly so we could all meet like the event organizer. It wasn't easy because we were in different courses but at least in the same university and later on everybody's working or doing extended school studies for Bar exam and all.
This post won't be complete if I don't mention this very special girl celebrant none other than my favorite niece Elisse whom I treated as my own daughter. Her birthday coincides with ablogger friend Mariuca (aug29). I called my family yesterday to greet Elisse too bad she wasn't in the mood to talk. Bro said she's missed her nap on their travel thus throwing tantrums. Hmp, if he didn't set up that TV in the car then she could've taken that nappy and talked to poor auntie! What I know is that they were heading to the Manila Ocean Park (aquarium) for her birthday treat. How I wish me and hubs can be with them =(
I might have not mentioned everybody's name here but that doesn't mean I forgot who they are. For some reason while writing this I thought of them...and realized that I'm longing to see or hear from then again soon. The sentimental bug might have bitten me! hehehe!
Lastly, to reveal my very special gift this year.... you may also click here to know more, I have prepared a special blog just for this =) Isn't this the best gift of all?

Before I end this post I want to greet everybody again Happy Birthday! Also I want to ask all my blogger friends here for your birthday only if you willingly want to share it so I can have it jotted down in my datebook calendar. I love taking note of birthdays that's why a friend branded me as "the girl who always greets on birthdays" =P If ever you don't feel comfortable leaving your birthday in the comment you may also email it to me. =) Thanks!!!
Busy August...do you agree?

I had to edit the ultrasound image in photoshop to at least highlight the baby's form so no confusion =) can you see clear?
Thanks so much! I also wish you the best for your future babies.
My bestfriend suggested I make a blog and even gave me the title, after some thought I worked on it right away. At least through that blog we can be closely updated with each other. Thanks for checking it out, you'll be my first guest there. =)

Good morning to you!!
Levian,
Don't worry Levian, I'm also trying to take care of myself for the baby. Since we confirmed the whole pregnancy thing after the ultrasound I made sure I lessen down the stress and try to keep things cools as much as I can. I'll remember your words so I can slow down when things get so busy. Thank you!!

I should've brought the camera with me coz I wasn't the one so fascinated at some point. it was my husband! After I've seen baby moving and all from the ultrasound, I then looked at him and he had this pasted big big smile. He's very vry happy. I am too of course.
Mummy Gwen,
Thanks for the go call! I will and be ready! hahaha
