x rated

was only planning to stay at my mom's house until wednesday but decided to stay 'til the weekend. we're "testing" out the new nanny. ;-) i ran out of clothes to wear since i only brought 3 outfits with me. the pants are mine (luckily some of my laundry were already done), the white shirt is my sister's, and that xl sized gray thing i'm wearing is actually a hoodie. (sorry for the blue colored photo. took it inside the classroom while waiting for the trainees to finish their exam.)

anyway, don't you think my boobs are too big for me? (and they look like they're all over the place. yikes! better bra please!)  i've always complained about not having the right boob size and having a whole lotta booty. and now that i'm breastfeeding, my boobs are just way too big and my butt is now flat. life is indeed unfair. 

imagine being called a porn star. eep. no thanks. i'd rather have an ample behind than big bumpers. oh well. i guess when it comes to breastfeeding, the bigger, the better. 

p.s. i can't stop picturing this in my head: little red riding hood scene. "mommy, what big boobs you have!" "the better to feed you with, my dear." lol.

single mom style

i've been checking out a lot of fashion blogs lately and i can, without a doubt say i (seriously envy and) am inspired by a lot of looks. just because i'm a single mom on a budget, it doesn't mean i should not make an effort to dress up nicely, right?

i decided to recycle my leggings from my pregnant days. did you know that before i got pregnant, i didn't own a single pair of leggings? i only bought them coz i couldn't fit my jeans anymore. when i gave birth, i already had 5 in my closet -- 3 blacks, 1 brown, and 1 gray. believe me when i say, leggings are a pregnant lady's bestfriend.

the shirt is my dad's. i'm lovin' white shirts lately. ;-) i couldn't find any vintage items from my mom's closet, so i raided my dad's instead. the shirt is not vintage, but it's now mine! yay! 

had i met you, i would've fallen in love again last year

pregnant or not, you can say that i'm a bit clumsy. i often find myself tripping, in most instances, on the same spot -- like the first 2 steps at our apartment. so, as a precaution, i decided to wear flats while pregnant.

i thought, that would have been the perfect time to rest my poor soles after all those high-heeled wearing days. unfortunately, the flat footed me was only used to wearing havaianas and thong sandals. finding comfortable ballet flats was a big challenge.

too bad, i only discovered what i would say the most comfortable shoes a single working mom can ever own, after giving birth. i could have been singing in the rain with those shoes, big belly and all. teehee...

so, without further ado, meet suelas. the shoe that you can fold, flatten, and roll.

don't they look comfy? i think moms-to-be should have one pair (or 2...or more) in their closet. i haven't seen one but i heard these are really comfortable and flexible.

i ordered online a few months back, but being the average filipina woman that i am, my shoe size -- in all 3 colors that i like, is not available. 

i'm currently drooling over their llanura collection and would love to get my hands on these:

don't they look lovely?

i think my feet would thank me if i have these. and i'd probably turn my back on my heels for a few days. or not. lol.

if you can't wait to get your hands on one, go to the supersale bazaar this weekend at the rockwell tent. they have new styles and you can get up to 20% off on selected items!

happy sole searching!

is there a fairy godmother out there?

coz i really need a wish right now.

when her fairy godmother appeared, cinderella was crying and her clothes were torn. my clothes may still be in tact and i may not be shedding a tear, but i really, desperately need my fairy godmother. if i don't have one, can i borrow hers?

these past few days, it's like i'm going thru hard labor.

1. work in the morning.
2. give uno a bath when i get home.
3. feed him. put him to sleep
4. clean and sterilize the used bottles, teat, breast pump, cups, etc
5. wake up every 2 hours to feed him.
6. wake up early to do #1.

i have no qualms with 1-3 and 5 -- those are my bonding sessions with my little prince. all i want is for someone else to do #4.

well, what i really want is a nanny for uno.

we've gone through 4 nannies in a month's time. wow. 1 lasted for 3 days, the other was just a day...i thought the 3rd was a charm since she stayed for 2 weeks until she finally said she couldn't handle it anymore. and finally, the 4th lasted only for 2 days.

reasons for not staying? they can't handle my baby coz he's too big for a 3 month old boy and moves a lot.

sigh.

i wish...

...i was rich so i wouldn't have to work and i can stay at home to take care of uno.
or
...i can work at home.
or (to make it more realistic)
...i can find the perfect nanny.

unlike cinderella's granted wish, i hope mine won't just last until midnight.

mugshot monday

say goodbye to monday blues!

but, honestly, how can you leave for work when there's an adorable little someone at home? 

sigh.
