working mom on bed rest

I'm 35 weeks pregnant and was ordered by my OB to do complete bed rest. This has happened to me about 3 years ago when I was pregnant with Hannah. But at least I was not confined and sent to the ICU as before. I was just sent home after doc ruled out contractions. Anyway, the reason why I'm put into bed rest was that I have incompetent cervix, meaning I'm already on my way to labor and already 2cm open. It's really very difficult for me to adjust to this state as I really am a very active person. I don't mind walking or working late hours in the office. For some, the order of bedrest seem to be paradise, but for me it sounds like a sentence. I need to stay in this bed 24 a day (expect for bathroom priveledges) for the next 14 days.
It's probably a consolation that at least I have just 2 weeks to go while some are ordered to stay bed rested for months. Well,if this will mean a healthy birth for my dear baby, its ok with me. I love you baby Joana. See you in two weeks!

Japan japan!: Day 1 of our Japan family trip Saga

It's about a week after our trip to Tokyo Japan and though I promised myself and my husband that I will be chronicling our trip the day after, I ultimately forgave myself (and I'm sure hubby does too) for not fulfilling that promise. The sheer exhaustion from our travels would be enough excuse let alone the insurmountable stress of handling 3 small kids tagging along this trip. But i only have 3 words to describe our struggles - ALL WORTH IT! So how do I begin to retell this note worthy travel? Let me start with... Day 1: We slept in our studio condo unit in Pasig the night before. Since we had a lot and I mean a loooot of bags to bring (family of 5), my husband ditched the original plan of commuting to the condo from our house in Antipolo. Instead, he had to go back and park our car in Antipolo at about 9pm. He was able to go back to the condo at around 11pm. By then I have successfully packed all 4 big bags and 5 small bag...

Balik Probinsya Program: Preparing for the new normal

Vista Land supports the Balik Probinsya program by offering several affordable house and lot packages in hundreds of locations nationwide. The government recently extended the ECQ in Metro Manila and critical areas of the country to May 15, 2020. While the rest of the world continue to battle the dreaded virus, PH has more worries ahead. the economy is on the brink of collapsing and people's lives are also on hold because of fear and uncertainty. The different Department of the government each has its own contribution to the Task Force that is helping each other to solve the crisis. But left out in the picture at least for now are the economists that would like to push for more detailed plans on how to revive the economy after the COVID crisis. DOH on the other hand is still on the limelight sharing it with the DSWD in making sure that the spread is controlled and that people would have food on their plates everyday. Short term stops are on its way ...

My CDM AP Experience

I just need to breath for a while to take moment to mince my thoughts. Hmmm...yes I've been out for so long that I feel like I don't know how to write a blog anymore. Right now, I'm using my phone to write so forgive me if I have a few typos here and there. I promise to edit it later. Anyway, just need to share with you what's keeping me busy these days. Ofcourse you don't know that I have like 20 people on my team in the office. Heck you don't even know where I work now. Well, I really don't think that's important for now. What I really want to share with you now is my recent journey. I have recently enrolled myself to the Certified Digital Marketer Accelarated Program. Well I've already finished the 6 sessions including the youtube session but I have yet to get my official certification. Our final papers have yet to be graded according to the organizers but no rush naman. More important is the experience of attending the workshops. How do I find ...
