I Can’t Wait For My Birthday

I really can’t wait for my birthday. My dslr will be one year then. Remember it was his gift to me last February. Aside from my dslr turning a year old (but my photography skill is still amateur), I ma excited for my birthday because I promised myself, we will take a break. I am very hopeful that by next year, we already had a bigger car. I am praying that we can dispatch our flood infested car and make it possible to have a bigger one. Our car is not suitable to us anymore. The fact that it was immersed in flood for days and still in muddy condition until now, made is risky for long travel, specially with kids. Another thing is, we are bigger now! Imagine 4 kids plus two helpers in a car. Is that possible? Maybe but with lots of discomfort.

If by February, I am able to earn enough (and with the condition that already got a bigger car), I will buy baby banz for Sati. Traveling with an infant can be tiring, for me and for her too. The most I can do is make Sati more comfortable through her travel accessories. She can wear a hat and sunglasses as we stroll down the beach or breathe fresh air in a park. Oh no, I ma getting dreamy again. All that happened to us in the past few weeks makes me want to escape. I so long for a nice vacation.

The kids need one too, I know, they need to take their minds of the storm and any flood related incident. Until now, they are traumatized by the flood. I really wish we can have a getaway soon.

Time To Relax

As a consequence for eating anything, everything fancy during my pregnancy, my belly is a still big. Big as in I look like I am still 5 months pregnant. I can’t lose the extra fats through dieting as I am breastfeeding Sati. I still can’t do exercise as of now. I used to do aerokaebo, a combination of aerobics and boxing, before I got pregnant with Chico. Then I had Chico and was not able to lose some of the fats I gained. Then after a year, I got pregnant with Sati, just imagine how much fats I accumulated over those pregnancies and post partum gluttony.

My sister recommended infrared saunas I use to lose some of my fats. She says that there has been studies that saunas can actually burn calories. As we know, saunas are hot and you sweat a lot during your session. She showed me a video on how one can be “thin” in as fast as 30 minutes. It makes me wanna go tot he nearest sauna salon or buy my own sauna (if I can).

Another good thing about sauna is that it can relieve pain and rheumatoid arthritis. I think it can really do. I remember when I was young that my grandmother used to treat her arthritis with hot compress. She would use a bottle filled with hot water and roll it over her hands or her legs whenever her rheumatoid arthritis attacks. It was an effective way to relieve her from pain. So I guess it is almost the same as it is with sauna. The heat from sauna can relieve the pain from rheumatoid arthritis. I am pretty sure it can also heal my stiff neck I am suffering now, too much blogging, I guess.

We Need To Breathe

I have been depressed lately and I think we need a vacation. If only I can afford it I would book a room in hotel barcelona. We could stay there for a week or two. Booking for a hotel accommodation is as easy as pie. And since we are already in Europe, we can also visit Paris and stay in hotel paris. For sure we visit a lot of places and enjoy our stay there. It could take away all my worries and depressions.

The reason why I am depressed? Still have something to do with what happened to us during the storm. Well you know that we were affected by the flood that hit our country last September 26. Yes it was more than a month ago now but every where I look I was reminded by it. As much as possible I want to forget that experience but it is really hard. Just like yesterday, I was due for my post natal check up and Sati is due for her check up with the Pediatrician. My Obstetrician and her Pediatrician is an hour away from our house. It’s far, I know, but we are so used to them. Remember that I gave birth to Sati in a hospital that is an hour away from us (or two plus heavy traffic). And since our car (no thanks to the insurance company) is still on muddy condition (apparently, more than a month after it was towed and brought to their restoration area, the car is still in muddy condition), our only means of transportation is to take a cab.

Now let’s talk about the cab, well, the driver charge us 3x more than the usual fare because our destination is really far. the worst part of it, the drier smells really bad. Imagine we have to endure that. It was really depressing. It makes me wanna wish we were in Rome and staying on hotel Rome. If we can only afford an out of the country vacation. The idea of getting away from all these is very tempting. And since we still cannot afford it, I promised myself that I will devote my January earnings on an out of town trip with the family. I hope we already got a bigger car by them.
