What do I do with my time?

I get asked this question a lot because people only assume I stay home and live a relaxing but yet boring life. I actually have a ton of things to do during Monday to Sunday. Though – I do spend half my day sleeping. I sleep around 10 to 12 hours a day (yes that’s half a day gone) and I enjoy my sleep a lot. It’s the only beauty sleep I’ll be getting for the next 6 weeks – so I gotta make the best out of it.

What do I do with the rest of my half a day? Well – I do have a ton of online stuff to do during weekdays. I only allow myself to work on weekdays – so on the weekend I’m free to do whatever my husband wants and just relax. I go through a lot of emails a day – I don’t have to but if I don’t stay on top of my e-mail it’ll be flooded to the point that I can’t go through it anymore. That’s what I do from Monday to Friday when waking up from my beauty sleep. After that – I make my own breakfast/brunch/lunch (whatever you call it) while watching TVB drama. After my first meal of the day – my online work starts till my husband comes back from work. So yes – I do sit in front of the computer for a good 4-5 hours before he comes home for dinner. Sometimes I continue after dinner or sometimes I leave it for the next day. My online stuff is actually not so busy but since Little Jayden will be arriving very soon – I know I gotta work ahead with my schedule – so when he arrives I won’t have to stress about my online stuff. It’s just all about planning ahead.

Along with my online stuff, if I’m really bored – I have scrap booking, organizing, dusting, vacuuming, plannings, and etc. There’s actually a lot for me to do at home – I feel like I’m more busier working from home than working out. I don’t like wasting my precious time. If I have nothing to do – I work ahead with my schedule – so I’m productive every day. At times I could be lazy and not feel like doing anything but I don’t allow myself not to do anything that day if I’m lazy. I don’t have much time left to waste really. I want to still be earning money and still be able to take care of a baby at the same time. I’m grateful to have been given such an opportunity to be making money at home. So nope – I don’t live a glamorous life where I have nothing to do and shopping is my number one thing on the list.

Pregnancy Photo shoots

I’ve been wanting to get pregnancy photo shoot done and we finally did on the day of our baby shower! I can’t bare looking at my chubby cheeks! I did gain a lot of weight with this pregnancy and I hope I can loose the fat on my cheeks – which will be quite hard. That’s the sacrifices of having a kid right? There’s a lot of sacrifices – don’t forget the extra weight on your body, the stretch marks, the nausea illness, and the etc. Yes – this is like the hardest thing I’ve been through in my life. Labor is coming very soon and I’m not ready for it. Who is ready for labor? HELPPP!

Baby Shower for Baby Boys

Baby shower is finally over! After months of preparation and planning – it was pretty successful! I love planning events like this with a theme. I’ve been looking forward to this date for so long. Thank goodness I can cross this out on my list of “to do’s” now and focus on other things ahead. It was so nice seeing everyone again – some I see a couple times a year – so it was nice catching up. I wasn’t too busy and thank goodness there were a photographer taking photos for us – or else I’ll be a bit busy capturing memories instead of chatting. It’s so convenient having a photographer in each special events. I think I’m getting too used to it now. Now that the baby shower is over – I can focus on the prenatal classes and the arrival of our little one! WOOHOO!

The Chinese Martyrs Catholic Church

Two days before the wedding – we had our rehearsal at the church. That hit me a bit because I wasn’t as organized with the program as I would like it to be. I started freaking out when things were missing and I am  new to the Catholic religion and don’t really know the steps of the ceremony. But after the rehearsal – everything was so much clearer to me. Phew~

I wasn’t expecting a large amount of people showing up to church that day because not everyone was Catholic. So I had quite a calm morning till I peak into the window and saw the HUGE amount of people that I didn’t expect. I started to freak out – lol. I gotta admit – I was pretty nervous walking down the aisle. But after the long walk – it was a relief because everyone was behind me – I didn’t have to look at them. HAHAHA.

Overall – it was a really meaningful day. Something that I wouldn’t forget. I’m blessed and grateful to find someone that loves and cares about me unconditionally. That plans our future together – that supports me from every decision I make. Almost three years being together – we’ve never gotten in any serious fight, never bitching or yelling at each other, never disrespected each other, and the list goes on. I’m proud to say – I’ve found someone that will walk the rest of this life long roads with me.

August already?

August already? I was talking to a friend on BBM just yesterday and told her how time flies by so quick. She disagree with me because her summer was quite long. Well – I wasn’t that busy with the wedding preparation stuff this year. I was more busy on planning different events with friends and seeing different groups of people this year.

If you follow my blog – you would know that Winter is a season to hibernate for me. So all I do is probably go to the mall and pick up a couple things and have small dinners. That’s about what I do in the winter. But when Spring/Summer hits – those are the seasons I start planning events because it’s warm enough. I’m weird huh?

But yes – August already! I have a lot planned out during this month before everyone gets back to school/work mode. Every weekend there’s a special event or just hanging out here and there. Although – I’m married and all that. My other half doesn’t give me restrictions on what to do or not to do. Our relationship is based on trust and that’s how it works. I’m happy to be where I am and have people there supporting us! Life is just wonderful at this point.

Do you have a busy August?

Toronto Beach

I haven’t been to the beach for quite sometime now. It was extremely hot the day we went – I was melting after half an hour already. I wanted to leave when we got there but it would be such a waste if we didn’t stay for an hour or so. I was worried that I’ll be tanned – I’m not the kind of girl that likes to be tanned – I like my original skin color better. All in all – I had a lot of fun that day. It was packed with a lot of people.

Birthday Events

This is the second birthday party I’ve been to as of 2011 – this also reminds me that I’m getting old – I’m going to be 23 in 9 months. Can’t really believe that – I’m getting old and next year – I’ll be 24 and the year later 25. OH EM GEE – time is really flying by really quick. Gotta enjoy it while we can right? Capture all the moments we can and look back to it one day and laugh about it.

I love food!

Over the weekend I had a little reunion with my McDonald friends. It’s awesome seeing them after 3-4 years? I lost track but yes – it was fun having those updated talk. After this meal – I feel like diet pills is what I need next because of the amount of food I had that night. I felt so bloated and full. Celebration is always about good food – how can I resist right? I can only resist by not going to these special events – but that’s impossible. But I did go to the gym for the next couple of days for my punishment. I’ve been on a strict diet – its hard but I’m doing it for myself.

Girls night out

Since it’s winter – all I’ve been really doing is hibernating at home, at work or at the gym. When its with this freezing weather – I don’t feel like doing anything. I haven’t seen my friends for over a month and I gave in to see them – I love chilling with my girls. Miss the clubbing times but really – even if you pay me $100 to go – I will have to pass on that right now. But when spring hits – you know where were going for sure. Having fun once in awhile is what everyone needs. Anyways – went out to have dessert with my ladies and had a good two hours talk – just about life and future plannings. Its fun – but the place we went to – were too noisy.

Celebrated New Years with my loves

Spent sometime with my lovelies this Chinese New Year – it’s tough seeing me nowadays unless you come visit me at home – because I am hibernating. What I do is – go to work, gym and home. That’s basically my life – its way too cold to dress up and walk out the door. So staying home is the solution – I’m lazy to wear so many layers. What a lazy bum eh?

We celebrated with HOTPOT! Yumm – who doesn’t want hotpot in this freezing weather right? I can have it every day and any day if possible! It’s easy and its warm. I usually have it out with my other half to avoid the cleaning but this time we had it at my girlfriend’s place!
