can't get this song out of my head

Crazy
by: Gnarls Barkley

I remember when I lost my mind
There was something so pleasant about that phase.
Even your emotions had an echo
In so much space

And when you're out there
Without care,
Yeah, I was out of touch
But it wasn't because I didn't know enough
I just knew too much

Does that make me crazy
Probably

And I hope that you are having the time of your life
But think twice, that's my only advice
Come on now who do you think you are,
Ha ha ha bless your soul
You really think you're in control

Well, I think you're crazy
Just like me

My heroes had the heart to lose their lives out on a limb
And all I remember is thinking, I want to be like them
Ever since I was little it looked like fun
And it's no coincidence I've come
And I can die when I'm done

Maybe I'm crazy
Maybe you're crazy
Maybe we're crazy
Probably

p.s. RON VALIENTE IS THE BOMB! heeheee, salamat ron for helping me fix my blog!

ahhh vacations

del mar beach was a blast! everybody arrived friday night and there was a frenzy of unpacking and getting settled. the kids were all hyped up and running around like crazy. after settling in, a few conked out but the rest of us still had adrenaline pumping in our veins...so we decided to play poker. mark and i lost (we both suck at texas hold'em) and the big winners were jun and dad. saturday we woke up early. the skies were overcast but we made the best out of it -- flew kites, walked around the beach, and took the kids to the playground (which was really close to our cottage). the sun came out later that day so we all changed to our suits and went swimming. the water was freezing cold! but it didn't stop any of us from getting our feet wet. i'm a wuss so i just got my feet wet...hehehe, mark and the rest of the gang actually took a plunge. my niece ling enjoyed the water so much she didn't wanna do anything else. we also built sand castles, the guys went to the casino nearby -- except mark, we took a nap then bought some firewood for our bonfire. saturday night we sat around the fire while my dad played his guitar, the kids made smores, and when the fire died down, we played texas hold'em again and stayed up till 3 am! everybody decided to leave sunday afternoon so we had our last bbq lunch and back to LA we went. it was a real good time and everybody in the family agreed that we should definitely do more family get togethers. next year we're planning to go up the mountains and let the kids experience some snow =) definitely lookin forward to that! oh before i forget, here are some pics from the outing:

Flores Del Mar Beach outing pics (sneak preview) Enjoy!

6 months, we're almost there!

just had my follow up ultrasound and baby endraca is doing fine and kicking up a storm in my tummy =) he's pretty active at night when mark and i are just being couch potatoes (usually after dinner he does somersaults -- happy from being full!). he likes to wake up at 5 am and do taebo so mommy has no choice but to get up with him hahaha! this little guy is trouble already ;) the doctor printed out a front face view of him (see above), it's not super clear but mark says he has my nose. how he's able to tell, i have no idea! i also included a picture of me at 24 weeks (with saggy boobs)...everybody at work is telling me that i've really popped out all of a sudden (compared to one of my earlier entries at 12 weeks). i guess i have because i'm looking at my calves and thighs lately and they've become ginormous! i gained a lot of weight...in my last visit my doctor said i gained 4 lbs too much than the recommended weight gain per week...tsk tsk tsk, better lay off on those free cookies at work. of course it doesn't help that work's kitchen is stocked with all sorts of junk goodies (potato chips, cookies, pretzels, and lots and lots of soda). i have to really discipline myself to resist all sorts of temptation so i bring my own food, or eat the fruit that they provide. but my doctor said to not freak out about the weight gain, she said it's normal to gain about 40 lbs on your first pregnancy. eeeewwww. i feel like such a fat cow these days. but i tell myself that all this weight gain is necessary for our baby and that i'll lose all the baby fat once i enter the stress that's called motherhood =P of course coupled with rigorous workout and healthy diet, i'll be back to my size 0 in no time (hahahahahaha! wishful thinking!).

anyway, this weekend my family's going on our very first beach outing. we rented two cottages in del mar and we're staying there from friday to monday to celebrate mother's day. it's really appropriate since all the females in the family are mothers now =) it's gonna be a blast and the kids will enjoy it a lot! i'm crossing my fingers that the weather will cooperate as well. will post pics about that when i get a chance. tc and keep in touch y'all =)
