THEIT: As seen in: Latter Day Woman Magazine →

Just thought to share. THEIT made a cameo on Latter Day Woman Magazine just the other day thanks to the beautiful Sydney @Thedaybook. She was featured in the magazine for a fashion article (which, you must read!) and of course featured her gorgeous outfit posts plus THEIT…

Pregnancy blog
I thought I’d be able to keep 2 blogs but apparently not. I created dearryzolovemommy.tumblr.com when I found out the gender of the baby last month and I’ve been blogging there ever since.
Time flew. Last I remember I was only 19 weeks. I didn’t realize I’m already 23 weeks. My belly is steadily getting big and so is my entire body. I can say that I’m about 80%...

WatchI have a potentially overactive baby. See if you can spot the baby picking its nose with its index finger. It’s undeniably my husband’s child. Also, watch until the end for Dan’s priceless reaction.

According to the weekly email I get about baby development, my baby at this point is able to hear my heartbeats and my voice. So earlier this week, I started turning off my radio in the car and singing to my baby while I sit in the rush hour traffic. The books suggest talking to the baby but I think singing to myself looks less insane than talking to myself to people who sees me. Hehehe.
Also, I...

A couple of weeks ago, when my sister-in-law asked me how far along I was in my pregnancy and I told her that it’s already been almost 4 months, she said that I should start feeling the baby kick soon. So since then, I would go to bed half an hour before my bedtime to be completely still and wait for the baby to kick. I’ve also read in the pregnancy book that the baby can now react to...

Back on the digital
Finally, I’m back online. Lost our connection at home last Sunday and haven’t been on any social networks since then. (Except Twitter but it’s only one-sided; I’ve been tweeting via txt but I couldn’t read other people’s tweets.)
I’d love to stay and chat but my first (of 2) birthday dinner is tonight and I gotta go put my face on. I’ll catch up...

Dirty 30
So my birthday is tomorrow but I absolutely have nothing planned. I’m not even sure if I wanna do anything for my birthday. Is that bad? I didn’t wanna do anything this weekend cuz my husband’s twin cousins whose birthdays are today might do a little birthday get-together. I can’t do it next weekend cuz I have a baby shower to go to. Not to mention that I’m also an...

My iTouch, my BFF
So I promised Marge I’d blog about what happened to my iTouch breakdown. So a couple of weeks ago when I plugged my iTouch on to my laptop, I got an error message saying that iTunes couldn’t recognize my iTouch. So I looked it up online and I found discussion forms advising people to restore the iTouch by pressing the sleep/wake and home button simultaneously for 10 seconds while...

Blogging at work
I’m surprised Tumblr isn’t blocked at work. Oh, speaking of…
I started work last week Monday. I’m in the Customs department at the head office of a major general merchandise store. Pros: It’s only 30 minutes away from home (15 minutes with no traffic) and I don’t even need to take the highway. Cons: Pay is less than what I’m accustomed to. And it’s...

Hectic weekend segueing into a hectic week
Had a hectic weekend with 4 different engagements. (1) Maria’s birthday get-together on Friday night, (2) a friend’s baby’s first birthday party on Saturday, (3) the hubby’s cousin’s baby’s christening on Sunday and (4) another friend’s baby’s christening also on Sunday. That also equals to getting together and catching up with different sets of...

I’m gonna blog now because I’m not gonna be able to in the next few days or so.
As the hubby’s family tradition, we go to VA Beach to go crabbing every summer. And this year is not an exemption. We’re leaving on Friday and due to be back next Wednesday. However, before we head to the beach, we’re gonna stop over at Boston, Jersey and maybe even NY. Our check-in at...

one forty plus: Bed →
My whole life I’ve hated going to bed. I like falling asleep instead. Falling asleep is so much better than going to bed because you don’t get tangled up in the logistics. Falling asleep happens for you, even if it means waking up at eight to the sun assaulting your eyes while a block of metal videos are playing on VH1 Classic. Then all you have to do is scamper over to your bed where you can...

Hate hate
I hate getting periods.
Besides the usual reasons i.e. cramps, feeling bloated, drama queen tendencies, unexplainable headaches (technically they’re explainable but they’re unexplainable until I go to the bathroom), laziness, etc., I’m also a hater when I’m on my period. And I don’t hate just anyone; I have flavors of the month. I don’t know how my mind works...

Shattered Dreams, HEARTS & Disco Balls
Hello, my name is Kandee and I have a shattered dream.
Do you have a shattered dream or heart that’s broken into pieces?

Last night, With Honors was showing on TV and I was tuning in and out between the movie and playing God on my iTouch. It seems that this movie has a really good script because each time I turn my attention to the movie, a quotable line is being delivered. Most are by the character of a homeless man named Simon Wilder played by Joe Pesci. One of those quotes touched me more than the others.

Evolution communism
I think there ought to be a law prohibiting professionals in the entertainment industry, specifically actors, models, musicians, etc., from having relations—and consequently producing offsprings—with their colleagues. (i.e. I think that Brad Pitt should bear a child with a commoner like, say, me.) Otherwise, beautiful, talented people are just gonna be more and more beautiful and talented over...

Day out cut short
We made it to the Indian buffet restaurant whose name presently escapes me but will find out and post it here later cuz it deserves a shout-out for awesome food for cheap. (I’m working on paraphrasing that into shorter sentences.)
Anyways, we didn’t get to go to the Civic Centre because the hubby misplaced his motorcycle keys at home (hopefully just at home). He already knew it was...
Hindsight
So I had planned to check out Jazz Fest today. But I didn’t think to check today’s concert lineup. To my disappointment AND taking into consideration that it’s a national holiday thus people are able to come out and participate in festivities, there’s no one good (in my opinion) performing! I’m so, so disappointed.
I do have a plan B that I thought of just 2 seconds...

Canada Day weekend itinerary
So a plan for the weekend is starting to take form. This whole marriage system is both an assistance and a hindrance to my what-to-do dilemma in the sense that I would have to take into consideration what my husband wants to do which will consequently help me construct a realistic plan. (See last blog. Seriously, who am I kidding? I realize that I won’t be able to do all those unless...

Anxiety attack
It will only go away once I get even just a remote sense of plan.
There’s the Redpath Toronto Water Festival, Toronto Jazz Festival, Pride Toronto, the Tumblr Toronto meetup, and a trip to the cottage with Maria and her family. All of the above occurring this coming weekend, which also happens to be a long weekend due to Canada Day. And I do wanna check them all out. Even for just a couple of...

I’ll definitely be staying in all weekend. I’m scared of what people are saying on their Facebook statuses. I haven’t even turned on the TV yet.

Things to do today
1. Go to the court office of Richmond Hill to fight a speeding ticket and another ticket for not being able to show an updated insurance card.
2. Go visit an ex-coworker who used to do my taxes to seek for his advice about some letter the hubby got from the government regarding his tax return.
3. Return the harlem pants I bought at H&M.
Oh, that’s it??? I was stressing out like I...

Watching The Wolfman with the hubby while attending to his ailing neck. Poor thing has had a stiff neck since almost 2 weeks ago. We went to the walk-in clinic earlier and the doctor told him to take some muscle relaxant. Robax I think it was.
Anyways I sure hope this movie has some twist in the end. As it stands, the mystery has already been exposed and it’s only been half an hour in.
