andi eigenmann is pregnant

andi eigenmann is pregnant. jaclyn jose, her mother confirmed it on tv patrol.  jaclyn said the father was andi's first boyfriend and he left her when he learned that andi is pregnant.  news says that off cam, jaclyn confirmed that albie casino is the real father.

both are very young and at their promising years.  i really think andi is one of the prettiest face in showbiz nowadays.  she could have done and choose better.

years ago, this would just struck me as another juicy showbiz news. but truly, motherhood will change how the way you look at things.  this really got me to thinking on how will i raise my kids so that they will make the right choices when the time comes. as parents, we can only do so much but as a mother, i wish i can do everything for them.

i know that its still too early for me to worry, but if it was me, i think i would constantly remind them of the consequences of their actions.  i would even scare them how life is going to be difficult.  but more importantly i would make sure that they would feel how much i love them.

if only i could be that kind of mom!  because right now, i cant even get them to sleep early.

as good as it gets

sabi nila you cant have the best of both worlds.  pero  that's what i want and i will pray for it!  is that wrong?  i want a successful career and the best love and family life!  lord, please give me that! i am willing to wait.  and while waiting i will be thankful with all the wonderful blessings that i have right now.

its complicated

on the outside, everything seems to be perfectly all right. a family settling down where the grass is much greener. but, it is really more than that. my hubby and i, are both in a complicated relationship. yes we are together but we are not really together. we are almost going to the direction of annulment but we decided to try to make it work. part of me wishes for it to work but part of me is saying to stop wasting time. well maybe for the kids sake, even something as expensive as time is worth buying.

we are not fighting but we are not happy either, at least i am not. i don't know if he is. i have already given up on talking and like most men, he rarely talks about his emotions. he is a perfect father to my kids but i really think that you have to be a husband first for a family to work. oh well, i think we really need an intervention. may god bless us.

cable without tv

here in oz, they have what they call EOFYS or end of financial year sale. surprisingly, even cable company foxtel holds its EOFYS. its free installation and you get to pay only half for the first 6 mos. good deal right? the sale ends today, 30th of June. and so even without the tv yet, we availed their services :-). and so we have a cable and no tv.

as a developer, there are really times na walang ginagawa sa office. at during those times eh talaga namang napakahirap magpangap na gawing kapakipakinabang ang idle time. hay.. kaya eto, naisip kong gumawa ng "flames" na program.

its not enough para maubos ko ang 8 hours, pero kung sino sinong crush ko ang naisip ko para itry. pinaka nagustuhan ko ung result namin ni John Lloyd Cruz dahil "S" kami.. meaning sweethearts!

ACS Requirements

im here in brisbane under a 457 visa. eto ung working visa here in australia. the company who will hire you should be the one to process this. sabi ni employer ko, after 2 years daw eh they can sponsor me for a permanent residency here in australia. but, marami nag advise sa akin to not depend on your employer's sponsorship. basically you can apply on your own naman. and since dinala ko na dito ang family ko, it will be safer for us kung istart na naman iprocess ung application namin for permanent residency.

and so our quest to achieve that! medyo maraming steps and overwhlemed din ako pero sabi nga ni johny walker, just keep on walking.

so our first step is for my skills to be recognized by the proper authority. since im in information technology, ACS dapat ang mag recognize ng skills ko.

pano magpa assess ng skills sa ACS? eto ang mga requirements:

1. Passport
2. Birth Certificate
3. Marriage Contract (if married)
4. Diploma
5. Transcript of Records
6. Detailed Certificate of Employment

dapat nakalagay dun sa COE ung mga naging projects mo and kung ano ang mga ginagawa mo dun sa projects na un. gusto lang nila malaman kung ano talaga ang work mo. tapos dapat may contact numbers din nung pipirma sa certificate kasi iverify nila kung totoo mga sinabi mo dun sa certificate. bale, gumawa na ko ng template tapos send ko na lang dun sa hr nung mga previous company ko kasi usually di naman nila alam ang gingagawa ko sa work.

in case pala na close na ung company eh kailangan ng statury declaration mo na close na nga ung company.

as of the moment eh COE from 2 previous company ko na lang ang kulang. pag nacomplete ko na un eh magpa assess na ko sa ACS. by the way 450 AUD pala ang assessment fee.

my boy & my girl

no tv

generally, unfurnished ang mga properties for rental dito sa brisbane. so you can just imagine how hard it is for a person/family to start here. you have to buy everything from basahan to ref! of course i have to prioritize on the more important things. and so i decided that tv is not one of them. can you just imagine at this age, a life without tv? and did i mention that i have a 6 yrs old boy and a 2 yrs old girl.. its really a challenge i tell you.

on the other hand, this one will be one of my cute moments with my boy:

me folding newly washed clothes
my boy: mommy can i help you to fold the clothes?
me: sure...

my boy, hardly folding the clothes
me: thats not how to do it..
my boy: can you teach me how..

me showing him how
my boy: wow! mommy you are so galing! you really are the best mom!

odiba best mom ako bigla.. he wont even take a notice of me folding the clothes if there is a tv nearby.
