my 3rd baby’s big day is near but i still have nothing final for his name yet. following are my thoughts:

1. Barachial — this is the first name that pops up when i think about names for my baby #3. barachial is a saint, which i only knew of when i went to simala. but when i google it, i do not find barachial. but i find ‘Barachias‘ — i guess i do not remember the name well. when someone asks me about what name i will have for my baby, and told them barachial, all of them would say ‘no!’ what could be my baby’s answer? =)

2. Ruby — because of ruby on rails. ‘nuf said. but honestly, i do not like it.

3. Maximus — because of Gladiator movie. but i no longer like M-starting names. 3 m’s in the family is enough.

i no longer can think of any other names.

my OB is 60+ years old, and most of all she is single — meaning she never has a kid therefore she never has experienced giving birth. quite ironic to think of. and, i just knew about it when i was about to give birth to migi — late na para moatras. =)

some conversations i remember with her that i find funny and sometimes unbelievable but still  i believe her:

me: doc, unsa may ika recommend nimo nga pangbuntis na milk (i was referring to enfamama, anmum, etc)?
ob: any ordinary milk will do. marketing ra ng mga gatasa.

on gaining weight
me: doc, kahinanglan nako mag diet? unsa man ako diet dapat?
ob: wa man tika gipa diet. just have every thing on moderation.
(so moderate for me is eating and eating and eating and eating.)

on vitamins
me: doc, 1 ra ako vitamins. wala na lain?
OB: usa lng. di man sad na maayo ang daghan kaayo nga vitamins sa baby. basta eat the right kind of food.

on ultrasound. note that she works in xxxxx hospital. i guess she heads the OB department. she teaches in school of that hospital. i guess you all know what hospital i’m referring to.
me: doc, pwede diri lang ko sa xxxxx magpa-ultrasound.
ob: ayaw lagi diri sa xxxxx kay di reliable. nindot amo equipment pero di man reliable ang mobasa.
(she highly recommends co-ebao-blahblah who has clinic in maria cristina bldg, where rosita’s fuente is before. pero super taas ang linya! with migi, all my ultrasounds were done there. with meg, biopath nako. with this #3, cupsi nako (the one in maternity).)

on coffee:
me: doc, graveyard ra ba ako work sched. moinom ra ba ko kape para makamata. owkei ra na?
ob: you can drink up to 6 cups of coffee a day.
(waaahhh… i told a coffeeholic pregnant workmate about this so she would not feel bad about coffee, and she would just not believe it. hehehhe)

i guess i’m super late about heath ledger. i do know he’s dead long time ago as people were posting about him for days. but it’s just now i came to connect who heath is. most of the posts talk about his ‘a knight’s tale’ movie — like ‘i so like him in the knight’s tale movie.’ i don’t know but it’s owen wilson who pops up in my mind when people mention ‘a knight’s tale’ so i had hard time figuring out who heath is. duh – what a major problem!

it’s the ’10 things i hate about you’ that reminds me of him most.  since i don’t see a post mentioning ’10 things i hate about you’ — so i never get to confirmed my ‘guess’ or have the ‘ow, siya diay na’ moment. finally, i googled it, and yes, it’s he on ’10 things i hate about you.’ i find him to be cutest in this movie, or it’s because i love teenybopper love stories?

in memory of heath ledger:

10 things I hate about you

I hate the way you talk to me,

and the way you cut your hair.

I hate the way you drive my car,

I hate it when you stare.

I hate your big dumb combat boots

and the way you read my mind.

I hate you so much it makes me sick,

it even makes me rhyme.

I hate the way you’re always right,

I hate it when you lie.

I hate it when you make me laugh,

even worse when you make me cry.

I hate it when you’re not around,

and the fact that you didn’t call.

But mostly I hate the way I don’t hate you,

not even close…

not even a little bit…

not even at all.

i went through the pics uploaded in mark’s webshot account. they are pics of migi when he was still a month old.

and, migi, sorry to say but how ugly baby you are back then. but of course love is blind, and more, mother’s love is delusional. or better way of saying it, mother’s love knows no bound (this is the most poetic i can be). you were the ever cutest baby and will ever be!

of course, you improve now. i believe you’re the ugly duckling that become a pretty duckling. =)
