Rainy Tuesday blues

It has been raining all day here in Manila. And the cold and wet day has affected our mood at work.

As I was fighting my boredom and sleepiness, I chanced upon this beautiful blog: http://brideandbreakfast.ph/, which led me to what I will call be my song for the day. 

To R, 

At Home (Crystal Fighters)


Remember how I said I'd come someday baby,How I said I'd come around to see you one day,I said I'd try to find a way to run awayI'd get away some dayAnd I'm gonna come someday baby,Gonna fly around the world, hear you say,I'm gonna fly around the world, trying to find you again and say:I never thought I'd see you,againI never thought I'd get to be with my best friend,Never thought I had to tell you again,Never thought I had to tell you how I lost my mind again.
I left alone, I left the world I was running,To be by your side I was dying,alone by your side I was flying.I came alone, I've come a long way to get here,The leaves they fall to my feet, at home,They mean nothing to me.
No no no, no no no, no no no, no no no, no no no, no no noYeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah!Yeah Yeah, Yeah Yeah!Remember everywhere, everything is in this place,Take a place if you found a place to take,Take away the way you want to walk away,Make a way with my mind my mind's away,Wake me up when I'm on the throw to paradise,[ From: http://www.metrolyrics.com/at-home-lyrics-crystal-fighters.html ]Lift me off the groundand take me to the garden of paradise.Remember everywhere, everything is in this place,Take a place if you found a place to take,And if you don't have anything nice to say,You can tell it while you take it to your grave,Wake me up when I'm on the throw to paradise,Lift me off the groundand take me to the garden of paradise.
I left alone, I left the world I was running,To be by your side I was dying,alone by your side I was flying.I came alone, I've come a long way to get here,The leaves they fall to my feet, at home,They mean nothing to me.

xoxo,
Diane

Remembering Lola Apay on her birthday

Today is May 19, 2012. 102 years ago, a certain Paz was born. Little did she know that she will make a significant impact on me, and on my family.

Lola Apay lived for 101 years, of which about a quarter of that I was able to witness. Lola, thank you for the wisdom you have shared to me, for the protection you have committed to my family. We will always remember you.

Pretty soon, another Paz will be born. Your memory will live on with us, Lola.

Rest in peace, La. I love you. We love you. And thank you for everything.

 
Lola Apay/Paz in 2008.

Excited

Just occurred to me.. Reading all about these delivery preps - birth plans, cord blood banking, stages of labor, etc. - has made me excited to actually see you, Umi. =)

In the meantime, you have my tummy as your playground. Love you.

A random present

I received this present from one of my office teammates this afternoon! Thanks Di. =)
Looks like an interesting book to read. On my 27th week of carrying Umi.

Une petite fille

...which translates to: a baby girl!

Praying for a really healthy little one...
