Missed Opportunity: Baby Photos

Before I post my birthing story, let me just rant about my broken digicam. I've had my digicam in my tote bag since my 39th week of pregnancy. You'll never know when it's time for little peanut to pop out. So there it was, baby T was born a day before my due date. During the big day, we found out that my digicam's lcd was broken. With that, we have no other choice but to take baby's pic through our camera phone, which of course, has very poor lighting specs.

Oh well, i got to go now. Baby is already whining.Maybe, his diaper is already wet or he is starving with milk.

I Need Photoshop

For the past few months, I haven't been able to play with pictures. Heck! I haven't taken enough pictures anyway. When hubby left, he took the 250G external hard drive that we are using for the notebook since I won't be needing that much storage space. But now that baby is about grete with every day morning sunshine, I think I'll be needing a large storage space and memory upgrade for me to use Adobe Photoshop so that I could take and edit lots and lots of his pictures.

On Baking Lessons

I like cakes, and pies too. During the early stage of my pregnancy, I would always crave for Blueberry cheesecake from Cheesecake and peach-mango pie from Jollibee. Hehehehe! I've been meaning to enroll myself in a baking lesson (actually a lot of lesson LOL) but I just couldn't find the time plus the fact that engaing in a cooking lesson can be quite expensive too. I was watching one of those cooking lesson in cable TV and saw how a pumpkin pie is being done. Hmmm.. I haven't tasted a pumpkin pie so I am wondering how does this pie tastes.

Online Shopping

Lately, I'm beginning to be fond of online shopping not just because of my online store buta lso, for our little one who is about to say 'hello' to the world in one-week time. Princess, my sister in law got hooked too. Last night, we surfed the Old Navy website (again!) since there is a great promo going on- a 20% discount on all Old Navy items plus free shipping. Isn't it great?! Though we spent most of our time looking for kids stuff, we still managed to browse other products and we something like the MBT shoes which is really being sold at almost 50% off. Sadly, we can't think of any occasion or events where wearing one would be appropriate.

Breastfeeding and Losing Weight

I just did some blog hopping earlier (without leaving a message on the cbox of the blogs I visited) and I can’t help but be caught with their pregnancy post. Some of them really gained a significant amount of weight during their pregnancy. While some of them were able to “regain” their original weight because of breastfeeding, a few of them also tried using diet pills. At this point, I cant say that I won’t be using diet pills but if breastfeeding won’t work for me, I will have a dose of this wonderful pill.

--------------------------------------- Where to Find Best Buys

I’m getting fond of shopping online nowadays. Actually, I’m getting fond of shopping baby items. I’m really excited over Baby Terrence’s arrival. I still have to wait for 2 more weeks and it seems that these two weeks are the longest weeks of my life. Aside from ebay I know where I can have best buy for a variety of products. Try searching for www.buy.com.

Already Here...

As I have posted before, I am now into selling some PX items (good thing since I am going to be on a 2-month maternity leave). I started the business with few team members who purchased Victoria's secret and Old Navy items. Now my market seems to be growing as I have just established my online store through the multiply account.

Yesterday, hubby sent me pictures of the goods he received, which I purchased about a week ago. Actually madami pang kulang. Wala pa yung bulk orders from Victoria's Secret and Old Navy. Few perfumes have not yet arrived din. Pero seeing the items I have ordered arrived, mejo nakakatuwa. I know na magiging busy-busyhan ako in my entire maternity leave since aside from taking care of Terrence, I'll do some paid posts pa rin from time to time.


Yesterday, bro texted me asking how much does a 100 ml Bulgari BLV for men costs. I told him it's for P2,200. He was surprised to know that since malls (Trinoma ,SM department stores and other malls) sell the same item for a whoOooping P4,000++ . Victoria's Secret Products (lotions and mist) are being sold for P600+ each while I sell it for only P450 (may discount pa if bought in 3). A lot of my friends are asking why my merchandise are being sold cheaper than malls and other multiply sellers, I say it upfront that I do not impose 100% mark. Only 25%. Intsik eh. Konti tubo, dami benta. LOL

--------------------------------------- Preparing for his "highness"s arrival

We still have 3 more weeks to wait. I am yet to prepare some of the basic stuff we need to bring to the hospital. The yahoo support group for mommies where I belong to has been very supportive and helpful. I actually now have a list of what to bring in the hospital. A thing I have never thought of doing before. One of the most helpful tip that I got from these expert moms is to bring my digital cameras to so that I can document the things that are happening to me prior to the deliver. Plus, I want to take little peanut's pictures during his first minute as he say "hello" to the world. Hmmmm.. I m getting more and more impatient- but excited.

May Pang Christmas Gift ka na ba?

I'll be gone for a while but I'm gonna update all my blogs (READ: non paid posts) of what is happening to me. I will get ample time by then to make chismis of what is happening in my buhay nanay life. I decided to put since hubby is sending his quarterly package for us and Baby Terrence and I got nothing to do during my 2-month maternity leave... Though I know that taking care of Baby T would consume much of my time, I still want to delve into something lucrative. Ayokong naka tengga ng matagal eh. So I hope you can help me out on this one.

I am selling Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, Old Navy and some branded perfumes. I have just opened my multiply store (http://ninjathet0312.multiply.com/photos) . I was actually surprised to see that some of those multiply sellers impose mark up on some of their products as much as 100% or. What I mean is that when a product can be purchased in a US store by P2,000, ibebenta ng P4,000. Katarantaduhan naman di ba? I mean of course, there will be state taxes and shipping fee kaso sobrang OA naman yata kung ganun. Oh well, siguro kasi bread and butter talaga nila ung pagbebenta ng PX goods and with the time they are dedicating sa ganung business, talagang dapat lang na malaki din ang mark up..anyhoo, here are some of the items that I sell po in my multiply account.

Bulgari BLV for Men (100 ML)
Mall Price: P4,200
My Price: P2,600

MORE PERFUMES HERE: http://ninjathet0312.multiply.com/photos/album/11/Assorted_Branded_Perfumes

Sample of Regular Flip Flops

Metallic Flip Flops

Old Navy Flip Flops:
Metallic Flip Flops - P400
Regular Flip Flops- P325

fabric & care* 100% synthetic materials.
* Imported.
details
* Firm foot bed
* Smooth soles
* 1/2" heel

MULTIPLY PRICE: P1,400-1,500
My Price: P1,00
More Old Navy Items Here:
http://ninjathet0312.multiply.com/photos/album/8/Old_Navy_Items


I am still updating my multiply account. Anyway, ordered merchandised will be delivered on or before the 2nd week of November so you still got lots of time to save money to spend on your Christmas gift list.

These items are perfect Christmas gift for your loved ones, office mates (monito-monita), friends, your significant partner or even yourselves!

If you want to order something or if you have any inquiries, please leave a message either here or in my multiply account. You can also email me at thet.hernandez@gmail.com.

Astig ba college professors mo?

I'm doing some blog hopping for 2 consecutive days now when I came across this post on Jean's blog. Nakaka aliw magbasa. Actually yung iba, classic lines na for me. Try mo din basahin. Baka may prof ka nung college na ganito.

) Freshman year, day 1 of Soc Sci I classses.
A young guy walks in and sits on an empty chair and starts listening to conversations. 15 minutes later, he starts a conversation with one of our blockmates
guy: "hey, kilala nyo professor dito ?"
classmate: "Hindi eh, ikaw ? Kilala mo ?"
guy: "balita ko gwapo yun"
classmate: "ah ganon? paano mo nalaman?"
guy: "Ganito" [stands up and walks to the front of the class] "Okay, class, my name is Professor ....."

2) Sophomore year - my friends and I were walking along the AS building when we ran into our Soc Sci I professor from the year before and in a very loud voice, he starts saying:
"O, nandito pa rin kayo ? Ang tagal tagal ko na kayong nakikita sa UP ah, ano ? 7 ? 8 years na ? Hindi pa rin kayo gru-ma-graduate ?"
We were so embarassed :P

---- start forwarded email ----

"The aim of policy making is to invoke action! Because action speaks louder than words! You do not just say I love you. You say: If you love me, enter me! " - Dr. Alfonso Pacquing

"Class, next week na lang ung result sa exam nyo. I am having a hard time checking it. I will seek first the divine guidance on what to do about it. Class dont worry about your grade. Let me worry about it." - Sir de jesus, envi sci 1

(valentines day)
"Ano ba yan? Students ba kayo ng UP? Bakit ang bababa ng scores niyo? Siguro wala kayong date ngayong valentines kaya ganito kayo. Losers!!! When i was your age i had a date. Hindi ba naapektuhan ng UP FAIR euphoria ng grades niyo? Parang di kayo masaya..." (sabay matching tapon ng quizzes sa sahig) "I won't record this. Go find a date." (sabay walk out.) - Sir Doliente, BA

Ma'am: Many people believe that we, psychology graduates can read minds...
(silence)
Actually, we can.
Class: Weh.. Sample..
Ma'am: Right now, you think that I'm bluffin
- Ma'am Chei Billedo, Psych

"I don't give surprise long exams. all exams are announced. Halimbawa, Class, mageexam tayo, NGAYON NA!"
- Ma'am Chei

"The human body is 70% water. Kaya wala kayong kasaysayan lahat. Pag may kaaway ka, sabihin mo sa kanya, TUBIG KA LANG!!!
- Dr. Recio

"Oo, nagpapaulan ako ng uno... baket? aanhin ko ba nun? di naman ako yayaman dun."
- Sir Atoy Navarro, histo I (clap clap clap!)

(commenting on a thesis of a senior student)
'Yang thesis mo? .. Mamamatay ka!! Mamamatay ka!!' - Dr. llanes, UPM.

"Nasa bandang gilid ang fallopian tube. Kaya kung gusto niyong magka-anak ng asawa niyo, dapat nakatagilid kayo habang gumagawa." - Ma'am Meggie, Zoo 10

"Last sem was the first time that I gave a grade of 5, and it felt good!!!" - Prof Goldie, Comm II, circa 1998, first day of class

"atheist ako, pero pag nasa bahay, nagro rosary kami ng Nanay ko, eh kung magalit sa kin yun."
- Socio 11 Prof

"you do not fall in love; you rise in love. That's how you love rationally."
- Dr. FG david

"Try to die! Try to die!" - sir billones, on a student who is palpitating while taking the exam.
He claims that after incident refreshed na lagi yung estudyante. If I
know, pag naaalala ng estudyanteng yun yung moment na yun, kaya siya
laging refreshed, kasi natatawa siya pag naaalala niya iyon.

"Anong molars? You don't say molars because it is an adjective! Do you say beautifuls?"
- ma'am ilao, to a student who said "n molars"

"Kahit magpakamatay ka pa di mo masasagot yang problem set na yan dahil pang-157 (phy chem II) yan!" - ibid

"Do not memorize! Analyze!"
- doc nic, advising us, her students never to memorize reaction mechanisms

"Kaya nga ideal eh, hindi siya nangyayari sa totoong buhay. Pero an approximation is good enough" - sir engle, on ideal and real systems

"Don't take the BAR and yourselves too seriously. baka mabalitaan nalang namin na nag-o-oral summation kayo sa Luneta. O lumulutang-lutang sa Pasig River. Enjoy yourselves, relax, and read at least 15 hours a day. Nakakabobo ang sobrang tulog. MAg relax ka habang nagbabasa. Magrelax habang nagmi-memorize. "

"Pag nananaba ka sa oras ng exams, ibig sabihin di ka papasa."

"Oh the BAR isn't scary. It's terrifying. It might even kill you."

and the unforgettable: "Wow. Rape-able." and "Stand up Miss ___ so that I might see the contours of your body."

alternately encouraging and disheartening ang drama nitong prof na'to.

Ito naman from our Prof. Ancient:
"Mga engineers? Nako. Bihira pumapasa sa BAR." (LOL LOL LOL)

"UP ka nag-undergrad? Bright ka ba?"

"Sa mga taga-UP lang ako bilib eh. Pagpasok nila sa lawschool, hindi sila disoriented. Bilib ako sa study habits na meron yang mga batang yan. Some of them look like they eat kamote thrice a day, pero ang utak, di ututin!" (ewan ko kung matutuwa ako dito o hindi)

sabi ng aming dean who is 80 yrs old, "class you're laughing now, but i will predecease you all"

prof: O, meron na bang nakapunta sa inyong XXX
class: (tahimik)
prof: (medyo nadisappoint) Ano?! Puro na lang ba kayo aral? Aral na
lang kayo ng aral, ha? Wala na kayong napupuntahan kakaaral niyo!

same prof: Nakita niyo na ba ang Hoover dam?
class: (tahimik uli)
prof: Hehehehe, ang yabang ko talaga!

Second day of classes
Same Prof: (kinuha ang box ng colored chalks) Ano ba naman ito...
(tapos iniitsa sa lamesa yung mga dark colored chalks)
class: (tahimik na nagmamasid)
Prof: Class, sulatan niyo ang manufacturer ng chalk na ito, at
sabihing tanggalin na ang mga walang kwentang kulay na ito... brown,
green, violet. hindi makikita ito sa board. Convince them
class: (tahimik at gulat)
Prof: and .25 incentive sa final grade niyo!

terror prof after an exam (last day na din ng class..): ok class.. see
you next sem! (ahmmm...calling prof. bermudo and mallari???!)

"The more wisdom you obtain, the more you shut your mouth. This is because the more that you learn, the more you realize that there are even more things that you do not know. The true mark of an idiot is a loudmouth, the true mark of a wise man is humility" - Paraphrased galing kay PI100. Puta best prof sa CAL.

"IE? Di naman engineering yun e" -Thesis adviser

Classmate: Ma'am, pwede po bang next week na kami mag report?
Ma'am: Alam mo, God is good. And I am God. So yes, pwede next week. (Pasok!)

galing kay sir U eliserio during creative writing class...
"try everything once except incest"

and one day pumasok ng room, galit na galit. hinagis ang bag sa table, nagwawala sa harap ng room dahil hindi daw nasagot ng previous class niya ang question niya. kaya dapat daw masagot namin, ang makasagot may plus points. kapag walang makasagot, lagot kami. ang tanong.... "class, sinong lalaking artista dun sa TV show na wonder years"?

"Mamatay na mangopya..."
"Ang hindi maka-100, bobo!".

"im gay. so gay i could show you my penis because it is but an accessory to my body" - jean navera, spcm1

FIRST DAY OF CLASSES: "Kung may boyfriend o girlfriend kayo na hindi taga-UP, hiwalayan niyo na agad. Walang pupuntahan yan. Hindi kayo magkaka-intindihan. Tapos yung mga anak niyo, magiging bobo. Gusto niyo ba yun?"

ANOTHER PROF: "Hoy girls, wag kayong kukuha ng boyfriend dito sa UP. Pare-parehas tayong mahirap dito. Kumuha kayo ng mayaman. 80% of the child's intelligence comes from the Mother naman eh. Kayo guys, wag kayo kukuha ng bobong babae. Kahit matalino kayo, magiging bobo anak niyo."

sa PHILO:
"I THINK THEREFORE I AM FROM UP!"

"Class, kaya mahal ang bayad sa mga professors sa ibang school kasi ang bobobo ng mga estudyante dun. Dyuskoh, I used to teach there... at lumuluha talaga ako ng dugo bago maintindihan ng mga students yung sinasabi ko. Ang mahal nga ng bayad, magkakasakit ka naman sa panga kakaulit ng lessons! Wag na lang! Dito na ko sa UP, at least nagkakaintindihan tayo. Diba?"

Dahil kami ang mga huling estudyante ni Dr. David at mahal na mahal namin siya, nag-compile kami dati ng mga quotable quotes mula sa kanya. Ito ang ilan:
"Meanings we find are the meanings we make."
"The measure of a man is how many doors he has opened to other people, especially to those he doesn't know."

"Domestication of the human male is one of the greatest achievement of the human race."
"I do not know many. I only know enough to teach my classes."

Birthday Gimmick

My nephew's birthday is fast approaching. He's going to turn 7 this December. In the family, if a child turns 7, we make it a point to celebrate it as fabulous as we can. Why? Because the next big birthday celebration will be on his 21st birthday. So that's long years apart.A couple of months ago, sister bugged me if I know a place where we could have a hawaiian theme for my nephew's birthday. I have inquired to a lot of suppliers. Of course, a pool without pool floats will be boring so I have included such item in my list. Unfortunately though, I am now on my 36th week and I am not sure if I can still scout for suppliers at this period.
