My Life

International or domestic trip?

We were supposed to go to Singapore on Nov.2008 but we were not able to go due to hubby’s passport which was about to expire in 3months at that time. We only learned on the day of our flight that SG requires a 6-month validity on passports. And even if we knew about it earlier, there’s no way he can renew his passport because he just arrived Wednesday midnight the week before our supposed to be Monday flight. Anyway, I guess that trip really wasn’t meant to be, and we got a better gift…because it was around that week of the cancelled trip, I believe, that Jared was conceived 😀

Last year, hubby and I agreed to push thru with our SG trip this year. We’re still not sure though if we’d really go to SG or just go back to HK (we went there in 2007 after the wedding) because Jared might enjoy HK (Disneyland) more than SG (Universal Studios, etc..).

A few weeks ago, I was thinking of delaying the international trip until next year. Medyo marami kasing gastos this year, feeling ko kukulangin kami sa budget. Plus tingin ko din mas madali for us, and mas maeenjoy ni Jared ang trip (whether HK or SG) when he’s a bit older na. Or I might be wrong…? If ever, I’m thinking of a possible domestic trip as an alternative for us – Boracay? Cebu? I actually wanna go back to Palawan (or Bohol), but I feel that it’s not a good destination if we’ll be bringing Jared. Hubby’s never been to any of those places, puro int’l destinations sya cos of his work hehe. I’m really considering Cebu because I’ve been there a number of times, pero puro work-related trips. I was just chatting over YM with hubby earlier, and he brought up the trip to SG. He wanted to push thru with the plan, and asking about the budget. Di ko pa nabanggit yung iniisip kong alternative plan na domestic trip na lang muna. I have to revisit our budget and expenses. Good luck to us hehe!

Potty training

Since around last month Jared always tells us when he’s about to poop. He would say “poo-poo”, and true enough, after a few minutes he’s already starting to poop. Good job baby! 🙂 Now I’m thinking what kind of potty to buy for him, I haven’t really scouted the mall for different kinds of potty. Akala ko dati any kind will do, feeling ko pare-pareho lang naman sila. Until I saw Clarice’s post about this, mukhang “hiyangan” or depende kung type ng bata yung potty. I guess I better start looking for a good potty for Jared so I could train him well.
