Hubby is a gamer. One shouldn’t be surprised that he is as both his parents are gamers too. Be it online or offline, laptop or phone, Wii or playstation, he loves them all. So if we find gamestop coupons, we are sure to use them. (I just discovered coupon’ing, and started enjoying it.)

Don’t get me wrong. He plays physically too. He plays basketball, bowling and billiards too. So yes, any type of game can give him the adrenaline rush.

Anyway, true to his nature. He uses this as his iPhone case.

It’s just so him!

Last night, my husband was watching movies from his father’s media player. I was working but couldn’t resist looking once in a while at the TV with all the vampires, echo chainsaws and other scary stuff. I’m not talking about just one movie. The husband did a scary movie marathon. I didn’t mind, the only trouble was when I had to go to the john downstairs alone! I had to convince the husband that it was his obligation (after letting me see all the gory stuff) to accompany me.

Before we even knew that our baby is a boy, I started liking these two names in my mind. They’re Spanish and would go nicely with our family name. But husband insists it’s his turn to name the baby. For some reason, he thinks I was the one who decided on our daughter’s name. All I can remember is he suggested a second name which I didn’t like and he let me decide on the second name. But the first name, it was never questioned. But for both names of our daughter, the story behind has something to do with husband.

Honestly, it’s no issue for me that he wants to name his baby boy. I don’t care whose turn it is technically. My issue is he wants to name him after the wrestler, Shawn Michaels, commonly known as Heart Break Kid (HBK). Well, he says he likes the name Shawn, that’s it. It just so happen that there’s a wrestler named as Shawn Michaels. I think he was making fun of me. And he wants his friends to have a good time so he kept saying that he wants those names over some bottles of beer. I don’t want to insist on the two names I like as I thought he’s not serious. He still has more than 3 months to think about it, before I give birth.

Anyway, two weeks ago, I had my ultrasound, and my EDD changed again. I wanted to compare dates from my daughter’s ultrasound results so I checked my files. Then I stumbled on my daughter’s baby book which I started filling in when I was pregnant with her (way back in 2006). There’s this page about the names we’d want for our baby if it’s a girl or if it’s a boy. And to my horror, I saw this!

You see, I just asked the husband when I filled this page so the spelling was wrong. All along, the husband liked those two names.

Happy mothers’ day to all moms!

I’ve been busy with work lately that I think I’ve started to stress myself out. I promised myself I’ll do some de-stressing this weekend.

For mothers’ day, we went to my parents’ house. My mom was happy with the unique gifts for her.

Since my parents’ date in Tagaytay didn’t push through, I thought I could use some booze before the liquor ban in time for the election. We tried Tanduay Ice this time instead of our favorite Gilbey’s Premium. Well, it tasted like a combination of 7-up and tin can (do you know that distinct taste of metal on your first sip of pineapple juice in can? that’s it). I’d still prefer Gilbey’s if only I didn’t grow tired of it.

We went to RW Casino again last night. And the husband proves to be lucky in these games. Let’s just say the money (we bet) multiplied by 6!!! :p

While one application is being deployed to the operations team, an officemate showed me a video of her friend who bungee jumped at the Macau Tower. I was happy to see a sample video as the husband is planning to jump on Thursday. Yes he will jump, and I’m hoping that he won’t be complaining of any joint pain after the jump.

At least, I now know that my planned video-taking from below is perfect as the video (included in the package) will be taken from above (from one’s right). That way, both perspective will be covered. I just hope I get it right as the husband is only doing it once.

Someone asked me why I stopped taking pictures. I did not stop. I am just taking a break. I started to feel that I need either a wide lens or a really good digital camera (there are good ones in the market for wide range). Plus, money for travel so I could explore more. That’s my setback. I chose not to give priority to this hobby in our budget. Well, like I said, it is my choice.

I’m being fair to my husband who I know would love to purchase his home entertainment system. For sure, he’s been picturing one LCD plasma on a flat panel mount. He even shared that he’d be motivated to run the treadmill in front of it.

Well, I think there’s time for everything. We’ll just have to wait.

My husband is so lucky! He visited the palace and cathedral in Krakow. I was so envious! I love taking pictures of structures and what’s better than palaces and cathedrals? His officemates were just happy to take pictures with their digital cameras. And I was equally glad that my husband, who’s just too uninterested to take pictures, took some! Still, I know he would have taken better photos with our SLR, which in his opinion was too heavy and bulky for his trip. Wasn’t that just a little price to pay for high definition photos? Oh well. He wouldn’t understand. He’s just not into it.

Tonight, I am officially craving for ice cream. Thank goodness I stored it in the fridge downstairs. Had I put it here upstairs, I’d probably be feeling guilty by now.

I’ve been craving for different foods lately, around midnight. Weird though, that when daylight comes, I no longer have the urge to buy them. Yeah, I always have the craving when it’s really inconvenient.

I miss the husband. He would have made my food delivery reach its minimum, no sweat. I will have no trouble deciding on what to order as he can always order my second choice, as his side dish. He would be going down, and get our orders once the delivery man rings the bell.

I miss him for other million things. I miss him sharing with me his annuity explanation. I sort of miss watching gazillion shows as he flips through channels, at about 15-second interval. And this morning, I noticed the reception of the kiddie shows (Disney and Nickelodeon) on our cable are pretty bad, he would have fixed that in a jiffy.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m not crying or anything. Just a little heart tug when you reach at his side of the bed, and it’s empty. *sigh*

I was teasing hubby with his renewed passport because in 2 month’s time, his passport will have several stamps on it. He’d have Hong Kong, Macau and Poland (Schengen) stamps. No need to get his passport stamped on his side trips to Germany, Italy and Ireland using the same Schengen visa.

I told him I envy him and would like the family to visit other Asian countries next year. I’m thinking Thailand and Malaysia. Thailand for I’d like to try riding an elephant. Malaysia would be nice during Grand Prix season, so we could watch or even check out some Ferrari parts simply to ogle.

But if money is not an issue, France tops my European trip list while Japan tops my Asian trip list.

The husband and I went out on a dinner date. As usual, we have over-ordered again. We ordered food enough to feed a group of 5. We actually tried to consume everything but we were so full and wanted to go home soon to our daughter, we opted to take out the last dish.

Good thing that I have the best weight loss supplement, I need not worry about any weight gain for the over eating that I did this week.
