First OZ interstate trip

We just arrived from a 5 day stay in Melbourne and I can't recall what we actually did during our visit. Our visit didn't leave me any impact of awe of any memorable sight. The first 3 days it was raining and hailing once in a while. What a sight, eh!

Louie can only remember spending each day doing shopping - that is going back and forth to Richmond - which has got a strip of factory outlets. My folks were just so busy catching up with dad's cousin living in Melbourne. It was an eating and drinking binge day ang night for them. My plan to visit Philip Island for the penguins was ruined. All because we were always discouraged by my aunt when I dont' expect her and her husband to accompany us. But I can't really complain, can I? We chose to stay there and we'll just have to go with the flow.

How I wish we opted to stay in a hotel at least for 2 nights so we can just do whatever we want -a lesson learned... Next time we'll know better.

And if you want photos.. I got nothing to show really. My only consolation was getting to the warehouse sale at Melbourne Exhibition Centre were all Sheridan bed linens were on 70% off. Geeze - really huge savings!!! And the best thing about it is they have lots of King Sized Bed sheets! Love my linens and towels... They were all for a bargain.

Christmas Greetings!!!

Merry Christmas
and a Happy New Year!!!
Love,
Louie, Maan, and Luigi (soon a "kuya")


A merry Christmas gift

Louie doesn't know that I took a pregnancy home kit test at work around 10:30 am. I'm 5 days delayed today, (I think.. cause I really failed to take note when was my last cycle.. hehehe!)

When I saw the thingy slowly turning positive - I smiled... I thought I was brave enough to handle the situation when I suddenly felt alone and weepy. I wished there was somebody next to me whom I can hug tightly and share my joy and fear. I wish I can give Louie a call now - but I told myself that I will let him be the last to know. Para Christmas surprise...

I'm planning to keep it a secret from Louie throughout the day .. (well, I told my Ate Mahlu by SMS and my parents afterwards... I just told my Dad when I rang home that Luigi's gonna be a kuya soon. Hehehe! I think he almost fell off his chair.)... I want to tell my boss that I must go home for I'm bearing the good news.. Hahaha! Baliw na ako!

I just couldn't concentrate anymore.. I'm just sooo in a holiday mode...

Maan
