Daddy And I Share This InTheRooms Info

The other day, I scolded Daddy for smoking in front of the webcam. As much as possible, I don't want the kids to see him smoking because I don't want them to be doing the same thing when they grow older. Actually, I do smoke as well, but I'm not the chain smoker type. And I never tried narcotics of any sort. I was a rebellious teen way back in 1995 when my mom died, but I made a promise to myself never to try drugs, gambling, and other forms of addiction.

I succeeded in fulfilling my promise, however, there are a few people out there who did not make it, thus they ended up hooked in various kinds of addiction like the ones I mentioned above. But some of them already seek help and are now on their way to recovery. Recovering from addiction could be a difficult process. Good thing there's a site like InTheRooms, an online global community created solely for those who are seeking help to fully recover. If you are on your road to recovery, this is a great site for you as you can find people who are also in a struggle to understand what they are really going through. Here, you can freely share your past without the fear of rejection or judgment of any kind. And here, you'll also realize that you're not alone on the process.

Daddy and I may not be in the same boat as those people seeking recovery, but we're both glad to share this info about InTheRooms Meetings Database, a Wiki which can help them manage the most accurate meeting database online. If they think revisions should be made in the database, this Wiki will allow them to, which of course for review and approval of the moderators. This step enables them to make the community to be the best so it won't be difficult for the others to find a meeting in their area.

Friendship Chain

When I started blogging a couple of years back, I never really thought that I'd meet a lot of interesting people, moms and non-moms alike, through this medium. It's just amazing how this little space I got from the web allows me to develop friendship with people from all walks of life, without even the need to meet them in person. So, today, I want to spread this friendship chain to those whom I've met via the net, and to those who are already my friends way back. But before I do, I want to say thank you to the fellow mommy blogger who passed this chain to me, Mommy Enchie of Sweet Nothings. An awesome mom, a loving wife, and an amazing blogger - yes that's how she is! I love reading her posts, so I drop by her blog regularly. Feel free to check her site, click here.

Endurance Athlete Survey 2

It's almost 12midnight now; my sleep was interrupted a couple of minutes back by some YM messages. And since I couldn't sleep anymore, I decided to check my email and saw this endurance athlete survey. It's the second, actually. And as I've mentioned before, I really envy those who are into endurance event because of their self-discipline. Way back in 1999, I used to try long distance running, but h*ck I really couldn't go any further than 1 kilometer. Perhaps, if I had some kind of training, I would endure as well.

Anyway, here's the survey. Check it out!

Mommy Moments - Encounter with Animals

Wow, I can't believe it's Friday once again. The week seemed to pass so quickly. And tomorrow, I'm off to another long weekend. Weeee! :D

But for now, let me share to you my photos for this Friday's Mommy Moments theme - encounter with animals or pets. And since I wasn't able to find any photo of Baby Gab with pets or animals around, I decided to put mine.

(Me and the tarsier - during our Bohol trip last March 2008)

(Picture picture with Prony the Python..I'm scared!!)

(Me and the backpack?? Nah, it's a lemur!)

(Horseback riding time! As if. Just for the sake of pics actually.)

(Our pet Doglas. LOL. In our dreams. It's the famous St. Bernard from Mines View, Baguio)

Nothing much for me to share. Those encounters that I have were mostly from our trips in Bohol and Baguio. We haven't really spent a day in a zoo or any place with lots of pets and animals. Anyway, when Daddy comes back here, I'll make sure Baby Gaby will have her first encounters with animals.

Gerby's Humble Beginnings

Finally, I was able to accomplish today one of my plans since February, and that is to create a new blog for our new baby who is due on October 22nd. Although we don't know yet what the baby's gender is, Daddy and I already came up with a name. A name which can be applicable to both baby boy or baby girl. It's a simple combination of our names - Gerald, Phoebe, and Gaby. So let me introduce to you our new baby - BABY GERBY.

Gerby's Humble Beginnings will be the online journal of our new bundle of joy. Since Gaby already has this one, we decided to give Gerby "his" own place on the web. (LOL! :D Isn't it obvious that I'm really hoping for a baby boy this time?) As of now, I only used the typical dots layout from Blogger. But once I find more time to tweak it, I'll choose a customized one. For now, the dots layout will do since I'll be focusing on its content first.

So that's it! Let's witness how this little one makes "his" journey to life - "his" humble beginnings!

The Love Song Survey

Do you like listening to love songs? I do, but not the classical ones. I prefer the R&B, Rap/Hip Hop thing. Actually when I played that love song from Frank Sinatra a while ago and Daddy overheard it via Skype call, he reacted negatively. It's like he said, "What the h*ck was that?" LOL. :D

Anyway, feel free to share your views on this love song survey.

Suddenly Missed Daddy

The faint cry of the baby in between asking for "dede" (milk) woke me up around 2AM this morning. After giving her one, I tried to get back to sleep but failed. So, what I did was I checked my laptop to see if Daddy was still sleeping. (Yeah, we leave our webcams open as we sleep, so it's as if Daddy is just here beside us.) Indeed, he was and even if I wanted to wake up him up, just like what I did when he was here, I chose not to. He has to go to work in the morning, so it's better not to bother him.

But after looking at Daddy in webcam, I suddenly missed him so much that I couldn't help but wish he's really beside me. It's been three months since he left, and even if we see and chat everyday thru Skype, still it's very much different when he's here. I miss Daddy's hugs, kisses, jokes, and even his irritating ways and remarks. I thought I'll get used to not being with him in just months time. But sadly, no.

Oh I miss you so much Dad!
