I Have to be Strong

Being away from my little girl is the worst thing that ever happened to me. Again, I ask myself, "Did I make the right decision?" Now that we're not together, I feel so weak. I need her beside me. I just want to hold her. I want to see her smile.

Start Getting Noticed through SocialSpark

Hello everyone! The Baby in Between is here once again to tell you about SocialSpark.com. I’ve already written posts here as to what SocialSpark is and how it benefits us bloggers, especially mommy bloggers like myself. I’ve been a part of this social network for around 2 months now, and really I’ve already seen and experienced the many advantages that this brings to bloggers. But how about the advertisers? I’m sure a lot of advertisers out there are interested to know how SocialSpark can help them. Okay, so advertisers, this post is for you.

Last Night's Activities

Last night, I stayed overnight at Maidz' place. I checked the house since I was planning on transferring there when she leaves in weeks time. The place is cute, and it has one of the important requisites that I look for in an apartment - tile flooring. But thinking about the space, I don't think it would be very conducive to the almost 9-month old baby in between. So, I need to give it some thought before I actually decide if I'll transfer there or not.

Moving on, I was also able to chat with my hubby last night. As I've mentioned in my previous post, our online communication has been disrupted temporarily because their company transferred to another location. So, that meant new office, new Internet line, new room for him, and of course new connections. But last night, he tried to access the Internet so we can see each other in webcam and talk on voice chat. He was able to go online, at his boss' office. (Cool, eh! Where can you possibly find an OFW being allowed by his employer to use the Internet in the office? Where else but only in South Korea. Lols!)

My hubby and I had fun talking on Skype last night. (Thanks Skype! I love your service, really I do!) And what's more fun was that he was able to connect to Wifi even inside his room, so I got to see him inside, how his things were, where he sleeps, and of course I got to see his...tooott...roommate. Hehehe...I'm sure you were thinking other things. But anyway, I was really glad that he was able to connect to the Internet even inside his room. See what technology can do nowadays, bridging two longing people in a long distance relationship. I just hope he can still connect tonight.

Start of Doing Something Right

While browsing other blogs this morning, I found one post which leaves me pondering until now. It's the post that I read just a few hours ago about preserving stem cells coming from the women's menstrual blood to treat various diseases. At first, I was thinking, this could be true? So, I read on and learned that menstrual blood is now considered more than just unsanitary waste. Well, talking about the Science, huh! Any woman could actually save a life by simply preserving the stem cells of her menstrual blood. So, basically that includes me.

Who doesn't want to save life right, especially if it's a close family member's life which is at stake? If you're a woman, I'm sure you want to know more on how to go about this. Why don't you visit C'elle today? This is the site that provides women that opportunity to save lives by simply preserving the vital stem cells which come from the mentrual fluid itself. By browsing through this site, you will know exactly how stem cells can actually treat diseases such as stroke, diabetes, heart disease, MS, Alzheimer's, and Parkinson's. My family has a stroke history, so I might as well consider the idea. Anyway, looking at C'elle client testimonial now, this could pretty well be the start of doing something right.

5 Months, 2 Weeks, 5 Days, and Still Counting

While looking at my blog, I noticed one of the widgets which I included two months ago. It is the widget that shows how many months, weeks, and days left before the baby in between meets his father for the very first time. So according to it, it's now 5 months, 2 weeks, and 5 days more. Wow, I couldn't believe how fast time flies. It was just like yesterday when Ghie left for South Korea.

I am really excited to see my baby and his father meet for the first time. Actually, I was thinking about taking a video of their first meeting, their most-awaited moment. I don't know how I would react myself when I see Ghie again. It was almost a year and a half now since he left, and a lot had already happened between us. Even if we have constant communication through chat and phone calls, still I'm clueless as to how I'll react when I see him the first time after almost 2 years. Maybe I'll just smile at him and say hi. Ohhh that could be pretty boring. But really I don't know. Anyway, what's important is how my baby will react when he sees her father for the first time.

5 months, 2 weeks, 5 days, and yeah I'm still counting. I don't want to think that I still have plenty of time to prepare for Ghie's arrival because nowadays, you'll hardly notice how fast time flies. For sure, this waiting will pass in just a blink of an eye, so I'd better start making my preparations now.

7 Facts About Me

My friend Jirl tagged me. While waiting for Ghie to go online, let me do this fast.

Here are the rules:

1. List these rules on your blog.

2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog.

3. Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.

You’ll have to read on for my 7 facts and see who I tagged.

1)I enjoy blogging, in fact I'm maintaining 5 blogs right now. Exhausting yeah, and sometimes they drain all my energy. But everything is worth it, especially the added income on the side.

2)I have three girls, not just one. Paula, Yana, and of course the baby in between - Li'l Baby Gaby. As to why this blog is solely dedicated to my youngest, that would be another story.

3)I am making my way to a "whiter" me. Yeah, ask my friends Lyn, Dex, Ryan, and Nays how I'm doin' it.

4)If there's one fruit that I don't eat, it's pineapple. My friend Maidz knows this, and the reason: because it makes my tongue feel so itchy.

5)I talk a lot, as in a lot. Hahaha..And Ghie hates this, and some of my friends too.

6)I'm such a cry baby. I cry easily when I'm angry, sad, scared, worried, and when I watch movies - not just drama, but also action movies like Fearless by Jet Li. :D

7)Okay for the last one, I love to play the "piano". Hahaha!!! Leave me a message if you want to find out what "piano" means. LOls!

That's it! Now I'm passing this tag to some of my blogging friends:

Paula

Need to Enhance and Advance my IT Career

IT jobs are in demand nowadays, so you'll notice that even those who did not finish any degree in IT are trying their luck to be in the field. And I happen to be one of them.

Four years ago, I found this career opportunity in IT industry through a simple ad posted in one of our school's bulletin board. I thought of giving it a try since I knew I had the skills needed to be a part of the company's Internet sales and marketing team. And you know what, I was hired and that was the start of it all.

Having a career in the IT industry is really very challenging. Over the years, I got to learn different strategies and techniques in Internet sales and marketing. But I wanted to know more, explore, and learn other techniques apart from my skills. Career growth and success should not be dependent on my present skills alone. That is why I’m looking for ways on how to expand my knowledge and develop my skills as far as IT is concerned.

One way that I found is by having a Cisco certification. But there are different network certification programs available for various certification paths like Routing & Switching, Design, Security, Service Provider, Storage Networking, Voice, and Wireless, so I have to make sure that I choose the right program suited for me. For now, I’m thinking about getting a certification in Design.

I really want to enhance my skills and advance my IT career through this Cisco certification. Anyone interested to join me?

Missing my Hubby and my Baby

For almost one week now, me and my hubby have lost communication through chat. This makes my stay here in the metropolis more difficult, missing both him and baby in between at the same time. Until now, I'm not yet adjusted in the situation I am in, and the same questions that I asked myself when I came here are still bothering me from time to time. I really hate the thought that Ghie is in South Korea, me here in the metropolis, and our baby is left in our hometown. This thought makes me cry over and over. But I know, I have to be strong since our situation now is only temporary. Yes, I have to be, for Ghie and for Baby Gaby! For our future...together...as one happy family...
