Lisa - ano ka ba. Ok lang yan ano. My mom naman is very helpful like that. Dami nga kasi nyang kilala sa village because of her activities sa church.  Basta ask ko sya mamaya if she can ask her kilala kung puede sa Saturday.

Jen - hahaha ok, yun ang guess ko.

Parang ok nga siguro to have your own house.  Pero takot na takot kami sa unsubsidized gastos, and less supervision sa yayas (na wala pa naman kami) when taking care of the kids.  Sabi nga ni M, litong lito na sya now sa daming iniisip with the construction, what car to get next (kelangan ko na magpalit), tapos pag lumipat na kami, yung timing, etc. hahaha. Tapos pag nakalipat na daw kami mas grabe pa daw problema?  ewan. Basta ako gusto ko matapos na lang lahat hahaha

di ako bumili ng culturelle kasi sa vitacost/luckyvitamisn kasi naka cold pack service sya.. nakalagay dun dapat naka cold pack sya eh.. eh di ba 1 month bago dumating dito.. so di na ako kumuha.. naghahanap pa din ako ng probiotic for gianna na di kailngan i-cold pack.. ang nakikita ko lang yun gmga gummy type..kaso di pa pwede si baby doon.

maussie,
vitacost.com and luckyvitamins.com US websites
yung dumating ko na pobox nung isang araw 12 bottles ng alive hahaha!! na tag 180 tabs ang dami di ba? hoarding eh..

so ang ipa-try mo sa kids mo yung veggie caps..like the ones they sell here na OA ang pricing.. tapos they rebranded the vitamins na ngayon kasi nga maraming ka-competensya na nagpapabili na lang sa US.

ang mura don!! mga less than $10 for the veggie caps na 90caps ata yun hay nako!
meron sila na no-iron.. tignan mo yung website nila.. naka free shipping ngayon sa vitacost.. tapos sa luckyvitamins freeshipping sa us pag naka $50 yata..
dun din ako bumibili ng seventh generation na dishwashing liquid for gianna's bottles and my moisturizers.. :P

Jai - Tandang Sora extn ang Magnolia Place. Don't worry, QC pa din naman  ;)

Marose - true! been praying for it at last week lang ulit kame nag-decide na parang Go ulit ang house hunting. Lakasan nga ng loob, we'll see! Kaya nga sabi ko, waiting for divine intervention  ;) Gaya nung last year, as in the following week dapat babayad na kame DP sa developer ng townhouse we are getting sa South, biglang nabuntis ako. So not meant to be siguro na South kame tumira. Magiging okay for now samin ang Magnolia Place since wala na din naman kame balak dagdagan pa si Y. LOL! And soon pag may bigger budget na for DP, ibenta or rent out para sa bigger house. Lugi kame paying rent, not so wise.

Lisa - Yup! DMCI ang developer ng Magnolia Place. Sabi ng cousin ko who lives near the area, mapuno daw. So okay siya for us. Gusto ko mapuno.

Maussie - korek! mas maganda pag sariling house talaga. Mahirap mag-rent ha. We have several opportunities to get out own condo kahit before pa kaso di namin priority at gusto nga namin may lupa. Pero mahirap din naman magtapon ng pera di ba? So for the low DP, di ka lugi. Then later on if complete na DP for a much bigger house, then that's it. We get one  ;) Pero sana townhouse! LOL! nagpipilit pa din ako eh  :D

jen: oo nga neighbors pa din tayo :)

hindi ko alam kung anong diskarteng gagawin.. kasi tong yaya ko masyadong maabilidad to the point na sya ang mas madalas gumamit ng ipad kesa panoorin si V.. LOL..in fact meron sya PSP (kaloka) pero shemore ginagamit ang naman nya pag tulog si V :)

so hidni ko alam kung dadalhin ko na lang ba ang ipad pag aalis kami or tatanggalin ko na lahat ng games sa ipad at itra na lang ang mga pang kids? :)

Kim, ano pa nga ba? Sa addict kong ito, yes nagregister ako. So may points siguro si mec. May gusto akong top don na pang maternity na tingin ko kailangan ko pa din kasi mukha pa din akong buntis. Buti out of stock. :) may pang kids din. Eh some of their partners - nine west, mothercare, sisley. Hanubah. :)

Pa-pierce mo na ears ni k! Ang cute kasi. Tuwang tuwa ako kasi girl na girl na look ni b at lagi pang naka-clip ngayon.

Rata, mahirap talaga nakabukod. The hardest for me is managing the household - not only financially ha but pati yung mga issue sa maid, food menu, chore schedule, etc. Sige, basta let ne know na lang. Thanks.

Jen, dmci din ang amin. Like ko kasi paglabas mo ng front door, parang balcony diba? So hindi kulob. Walang claustro feeling.

Jai, bakit ginagamit ni maid ang ipad?! Walang password? Kami lahat may password. Pati laptop na naka-on 24/7 naka-lock lagi with password. Mamaya fb yan with matching pictures, address etc. Ginawa ng maid ko dati yan eh.

haha clueless... thanks sa pagregister. I think nga may credits ako pero gudlak kasi hindi pa rin ako mahilig mag-online shop talaga :D  pero pag inulit nila ang mothers en vogue stuff nila, papatol nako!!!

milette... better ang house i think... kaso minsan kasi, you cant afford naman a house in the area where you work/go to school... and parusa naman sa quality of life yung byahe everyday

may nabilhan akong jewelry store sa glorietta5 sa second floor super okay! mabigat sya compared sa hypoallergenic freebies ng pedia sa piercing. yung default na kasama kasi parang magaan, so pag nalaglag ang pakaw sa kalikutan ni baby, hindi mo na mahanap tapos super liit. yun nabili ko sa G5, para syang hikaw natin mabigat tapos may double click lock pa. i bought it last year, after october, siguro twice pa lang natanggal ni chloe yung hikaw. i just have to check yung pagkakalock nya after every bath.

lia, congrats sa new "healthy" yaya. sana pumayat sya kakahabol kay gianna! ;D

madaming magagandang ipad apps for older kids talaga, like yung mga elmo abc, toddler counting, etc. maganda din yung toy story read-along. naka 4 folders na ako ng apps for kids hehe

^^ ako vote ko house and lot! ;D

Jai, dalhin mo na lang ang Ipad para iwas temptation si yaya.  Mahirap na.  Pati ang PSP and cellphone dapat itago mo muna and puwede mo ng ilabas pagdating ninyo sa bahay.  Pero explain mo muna sa kanya ang dahilan.  Maramdamin ang mga yayas.

Maussie, maraming tips dito sa GT on household management.  Look for aquacharly's tips.  I also got the Maid Manual and Yaya Manual, plus a few books on household management.

Ma-lista ako kaya carry lang.  At pareho kami ni husband na ayaw sa clutter kaya magkasundo kami sa storage.  Saka, since galing kami sa condo, natuto talaga kaming mag-edit ng wardrobe, kaya kasyang-kasya sa closets ang mga shoes and clothes namin.  Believe it or not, hubby and I share only one closet space.

Milette, the answer to your query depends on your needs and financial situation now.  If your budget permits, a house talaga.   You should also consider the location.  A house located in a place that is not accessible to public transport, good schools, reputable hospitals, banks, malls, and most importantly, your workplace, is not a good investment.  Better get a condo where everything is near.  In my opinion, you can always upgrade when you are in a better financial position.

lisa, where are the products from? here? what are some of the deals? syempre nagpipigil pako magsubscribe. :P plan ko na pa-pierce si K next month or on her 6th month if her pedia would agree. minsan sinusuotan ko na din siya ng clip pero madalas kasi natatanggal pag nagkamot siya ng ulo. mahilig siya magkamot ng ulo pag antok na. ito ang pampatulog niya. eh natatakot naman ako pag natanggal baka masubo or malunok niya ang clip..

weng, ano name ng store and how much did you get the pair?

milette, kakagulat ka nga eh. kayo ni jai ang mga nagjoin sa recent threads pa lang pero mas active na kayo sumagot ngayon. si jai pa ang taga-create na ngayon ng thread and mas kabisado ang members dito. hehe

Jai - naloka ako sa yaya maid mo na gumagamit ng ipad. My golly! sis ko ganyan dati, sobrang pinbapagamit laptop sa yaya ng anak, one time nahulog ang baby kase ang yaya eh nagi- FB! LOL!  ;D Ayun, sinisante niya. Eh haler, siya din kase ang nagbigay ng permission to use laptop.

Lisa - me too - naka PW mga gamit dito. You'll never know di ba? mga maids chismosa! they love to snoop on your files!  ???

Lia - sa Nuvalife at sa AllVitaminsPlus, free shipping din.  Sa nuvalife, parang pag bagong sign up ka lang.  Nagpa compare prices ako via nextag, yan yung parang mga ok yung price. So, sa vitacost and luckyvitamins pumapayag sila na iba yung billing address mo sa shipping address? Balak ko kasi papabili ko sa sister ko pero delivery address would be either sa house ng sister ng officemate ko, since my officemate will be leaving July and coming back 1st week of August, or sa MIL ko na aalis 2 weeks from now and balik ng August.  Eh yung BIL ko kasi hindi daw bumibili ng stuff online.  Sisters ko (as well as me) experts sa buying online hahaha. 

Jen - alam mo tama si Marose (kelan ba hindi)? God will provide.  Tyaka, everything will fall into place pag lahat is going according to His plan. Kasi sabi nga sayo, mga 1 year din kami na naghahanap ng lot (kasi hindi ko talaga kaya townhouse at ayaw talaga namin ng pre-built. Gusto namin kami magpapatayo).  Marami kaming "muntik na", as in yung tipong mag e-earnest money na at lahat. But then, God intervenes and makes something happen na hindi natutuloy.  Like in 1 instance, nag agree na kami ng owner. Tapos pinapatingnan na namin sa architect ang lot and all that, buglang, nung nag picture picture si husband sa lot, yung isang neighbor (na foreigner) lumabas at kinausap sya. Ini-enganyo sya na maging neighbors kami.  But you know foreigners, pranka, so he also told my husband ano mga problema sa village (lisa, eto yung sa MJS. I'm not sure if familiar ka). Kaya we decided against buying the lot. Pero itong nabili namin, sa "kaaway" pa ng mom ko ha, pero everything went smoothly (with minor glitches). Even yung architect, si God and Mama Mary made things happen.  Sorry ha. Baka isip nyo OA.  Hindi ako religious na tao, may faith lang po sa Diyos. Huwag maturn off sa faith ko hehe.

Ok ang DMCI ha.  I like their work.

Jai - kaloka yaya mo ha!

Jen/Milette - tama kayo. Yung rent parang interest din yan sa mga credit card. Kaya as much as possible, get your own nga daw.  Buti kami, kumasya pa sa house ng parents ko haha.  At mabait sobra asawa ko, marunong makisama sa mga parents ko and kapatid ko and her son.   :D

Weng - yung ipad apps na for kids, free yan? Bili na kaya ako ipad. Magkano na ba yung ipad2? lalabas daw ipad3 next year?

Marose - si M, very neat. Ako I like neat, but I'm not neat. Kelangan ko talaga helpers hahaha. Ang sabi sakin ng mom ko, make sure you have a lot of storage space sa house nyo.  Kasi, mahilig ako bumili ng madamihan. I dont like going back to the grocery every week kasi i never know what my schedule is.  Kaya ayun, may storage room kami near the maid's room, may storage room sa walkway along the side of the house (purely for M's car stuff. Mahilig mag ayos ng car), may pantry, at may storage/linen closet sa master's bedroom. Tapos closets naming lahat masyado malaki daw haha. Sabi ng amigas ng mommy ko, masyado daw malaki closet ng kids, eh hindi pa nila nakikita closet ko. haha. Ano ba yan!

Milette, for me house & lot. But depends on the area and the budget. When we bought our condo, it was all we could afford at the time. Starter home - maliit talaga but the location is ok, security is good, malapit sa work, etc. It was our pwede na (for now) house. Now that we have b, we want a bigger space for her, yung may sarili siyang space, pwede mag-bike and maybe have a dog later on. Kaya now project bahay kami. Looking for a vacant lot then build a house.

Sayang ang 15k. We used to pay 12k rent for an apartment in multinational village. That was back in 2005 kasi we got married dec 2004. Eh MA namin sa condo now 31k. Medyo mataas kasi we got 2 2-br units combined to make 1 3-br unit. But at least it's ours diba.

pwede din pala lagyan mo ng PIN code yung ipad mo :) para di na magamit ni yaya.

kim, hindi ko na maalala yung name ng store ;D pero yung price tandang tanda ko kasi ang mura haha nasa 400 lang. birthstone pa nya.

jen, kami naka 3 apartments na in all three years namin married. kaloka! kaya looking forward ako matapos ang bahay namin e...

maussie, halos lahat ng apps ko free. pero dahil nagpapasponsor ako ng itunes card pati mga paid apps kinakareer ko basta maganda ang reviews. so far, wala pa akong lugi sa apps for kids. lahat okay, pero parang hindi pa appropriate sa age ng baby ko. so si nephew muna ang nakikinabang haha!
