Once Upon A TYPE…

i’m just 2 days away on my due date…i’m experiencing more frequent contractions these days and when my mom asked how i feels, she immediately told me to drink cola with raw egg to help ease the pain and deliver the baby faster. the sound of it is like a thunder in my ears for i haven’t tried such a drink with raw egg…but since i want to make it faster, i listened…a glass of coke and egg, kinda disagreable for me when i first tasted it, however, i managed to finish it all - it’s so slippery in the mouth, ellk!

everyone’s excited now to see aiken penh and my worries are fading a little..i’m just praying that the delivery will go on smoothly…i will let nestle write for me when the baby comes out and i will not be able to blog about my journey…chao

kids are back home plus tito nick who will stay for 21 days and manang lucre who will be with us for a while to help me when i give birth and back working again. i am not doing much at home since they arrived. tito nick’s taking care of the kitchen and the cooking. i have to admit that tito nick really cooks well! napakain ako ng hito eh while manang lucre helps me with the household chores.

we haven’t gone to other places yet, i think on saturday, since nepo and nico don’t have work on weekends.

i am 39 weeks pregnant now, it’s been a long journey and soon aiken will see the world! i hope this journey goes off without a hitch i’ve missed a lot of things and i wanna make up for some of my losses.

i have posted from my previous entries how difficult for me to get a good sleep now a days. i am almost awake every hour to pee and going back to bed is very strenuous! normally, i’ll be able to sleep sound at 5.30am  just before everyone in the house wake up and get ready for work. so this morning, i had a weird dream - in my dream i accidentally touched my tooth and to my dismay it fell off. my gum is bleeding and i was so worried on how i will look like, so i stood in front of the mirror and check myself. there i saw that the next tooth was only half now, so i touched it! to my horror it fell off…i panicked the moment i saw it and immediately rush to the sink to get some water and wash my mouth. i was so conscious that i can’t utter a word. i tried to drink and calm myself then went to the mirror for the last time. i still couldn’t say anything but my brain is working, im thinking of a reason on why it happened and how….and just when i finished asking myself, another tooth fell off!!! i freaked out and soon i woke up from my dream. it’s 9.20am on my watch, so i get up and brushed my teeth and went to the computer as quickly as i can. browsed the net and checked the interpretation of my dream. here what i found:

To dream that you have rotten or decaying teeth, forewarns that your health and/or business is in jeopardy. You may have uttered some false or foul words and those words are coming back to haunt you.

i’ll take the first sentence, coz i am way too nervous about my condition now…im having pre-labor contractions frequently but no sign of birthing yet. so i think, my dream wants to remind me that i should be more careful and that i have to be positive when the big day comes. let’s just keep our fingers crossed that aiken will be healthy when he’s out already and knock on the wood, hopefully i will not lose a tooth just like what happened in my dream.

by the way, tito nick and manang lucre is flying tonight from manila and will arrive here tomorrow afternoon with mama and the kids. have a safe journey…mommy deng and nica will miss you terribly

still looking pretty (daw) even with a big tummy!!!

i didn’t blog over the past weekend, kung kelan pa naman madaming magandang nangyari saka ako tinamad magsulat!

friday, it was roma’s birthday and we had a small gathering at the next apartment - sumptuous lunch from Bistro Lorenzo. Halos lahat ng taga MAG Alliance andun to greet and wish her happiness. after the party i stayed there, nakipagkwentuhan kina manel at mheann habang naglalaro ng ps2 si andrea at aaron. mas nagagamit kasi nila un ps2, lalo na si bigboy at si franco, mas ok un di ba kesa naman binubulok sa bahay namin un gamit

saturday, franco celebrated his birthday which is supposed to be on july 6th. since he doesn’t have any plans for his big day, we decided to have potluck. manel cooked spaghetti and tokwa’t baboy while we made bread rolls…lumpiang shanghai sana, kaya lang wlang mabili na lumpia wrapper. so nestle, ninia, nico and i ended up rolling breads

tita eva and her hubby (roma’s parents) went to franco’s bday as well, brought ice cream and told us that manel and the others will go to their house the next day. then i remembered that base on melissa, electricity will be out on sunday, i took the opportunity to ask nestle if we can go with the guys and have lunch there. and he immediately said YES!

sunday, we went to roma’s crib! it was fun kasi potluck na naman. nagdala kami ng chicken curry at paksiw na bisugo, tapos sweet and sour pork saka chopsuey naman un kina manel, nagluto pa ang mama ni roma ng ginataang salmon, ang sarap!!! at heto pa, nagbake sila ng banana cake which they promised kaya naman the best ang tanghalian!!! nung merienda nagluto pa si tita ng tuna carbonara, kaya naman lahat kami over sa kabusugan. we called it a day at 8pm after a short stroll at sovanna shopping mall.

monday, nothing important happened…the usual household chores were done

tuesday, dumating si papa at si mama to visit us! papa will start working for a new company next week so he decided to buy a new laptop. it’s cheap here because you don’t need to pay tax, that’s why most people decides to buy their gadgets in cambodia rather than going to singapore. but of course, singapore is more advance with gadgets so the stuffs that u won’t be able to find here they have it there. we went to thrift japan to do some shopping - bargain hunter ang tatay ko kaya alam kong di nia papalagpasin ang 50% off every tuesday. when we arrived home, manel and mheann dropped by and had a couple of beers with my family. kwentuhan lang ng mga buhay buhay and tawanan sa mga jokes ni papa.

wednesday, bumalik na si papa at mama sa vietnam pero kasama nila si andrea at aaron. dun muna daw un mga bata, sasabay na lang sa pag uwi dito sa cambodia on the 15th pagdating nila boss nick at manang lucre. im a bit sad kasi wla akong kasama dito sa bahay for 6 days. ang hirap kaya ng wlang ginagawa!

oops, nakalimutan ko, 10 months na nga pala kami ni pong ngaun! more months to come sir

thursday, 1st day of tunganga! nestle sent a text msg saying ‘love u’ thinking there’s something wrong i replied if something happened and he said nothing…just remembers me :”> ang sweet di ba.

inde ako US citizen pero happy independence day sa inyong lahat :0

happy birthday din k roma! blow out blow out

Mediator - A person with whom parties to a dispute meet, in an effort to have the mediator assist them in reaching a mutually acceptable decision. Unlike an arbitrator, the mediator does not impose a decision on the disputants; rather, he attempts to help them find a solution acceptable to them.

yan ako today

i know i am one pasaway persona and i seldom give advices to friends and family pero ngaun it’s cool na maging neutral sa 2 grupo na nagbabanggaan. i will not elaborate the story for it’s not my business to interfere. my job ended when i have listened to their problems and suggested some solution on how they may resolve the dispute. i hope that group A and group B will take time to balance things and learn to accept & forgive the shortcomings of one another and will be able to start anew this time. alam ko mahirap ng ibalik sa dati un relasyon nila, pero wla namang mawawala kung susubukan ulit db

good samaritan ako ngaun and i feel happy kahit na these past few days hinde maganda ang pakiramdam ko

july one na! nothing significant happened today…just went shopping with the rest of the guys and relax for a while xiao

of the month na naman. tapos na ang june! ang bilis no? parang kelan lang january ngaun 6mos na un nagdaan at papasok na ang july, which means im just days away to my birthing day! kinakabahan na ako!!!

aiken will be out soon and im dead excited to see him of cors. but still, i am quite nervous on the things that might happen while birthing well, well, well joyce needs to be positive! i need to be positive! or else lalamunin ng kung anu anong thoughts ang utak ko…

ready na un mga bags ko for the big day! im keeping my fingers crossed that i will make it…bigyan kaya ako ni pong ng award for giving him a wonderful son? lol! doesn’t matter basta healthy ang baby ok na ako dun.

sobrang dami ng changes, kailangan lang talaga mabilis kang mag adapt

konti na lang…mapupuno na ang banga!
