back to reality...

another whining story of my life...

Today is my first day at work after my 1 1/2 week vacation (vacation from work not from motherhood.), and I'm loathing it with all my heart. But, thinking of 3 cans of milk (1.8kg) a week, I have not much choice. Three cans is like P2500/week x 4 is P10,000/month excluding diapers, vitamins, pedia visits + immunizations, helps, baby foods, and whatever knicknacks for the kids. And, how about when they start schooling?!? So there's no way my resignation letter will be submitted!

Anyhoo, I'm so thankful that I have a job to whine about and loathe. I'm blessed afterall.

So for those who think having kids is easy (like me), go and multiply because misery loves company! I'd really love a company!

HAPPY NEW YEAR, EVERYBODY!

happy new year rose.

nakuyawan na nuon ko nga magduha na akong baby dah! :) maningkamot gyud ko makabreastfeed sa second baby. kadako diayg consumption sa milk imong babies uy. my marti consumes only 2 cans of progress gold (900 grams/can) every month. nya pilian ug soild food, mao nang slim. pero ok lang basta healthy. oh, that reminds me, she's due for chicken pox immunization.

ako pud, murag dili pa ko dapat moresign soon =)

enfagrow a+. i don't think mahalon ni sya na gatas. fresh milk man uso dra sa US ig mag 1 year na baby, tres noh? maau gali dili uso dri...=)

rose buenconsejo said...

2 man gud sila, nins... nya suya2xon man au...kon mo titi ang usa, ang usa sad dapat naa sad syay iyang titi. and, wa na sad ko nag breastfeed... save au f mag breastfeed.

rose buenconsejo said...

yaw kahadlok kay nakaya ra man gali namo. =) as in super save jud mag breastfeed.. wrong timing lagi ako pag resign kay wa na koy gatas. dapat ni resign ko pag diha pa koy milk.

mao dako amo milk is bcoz di mag solids ako boy. plus if mag titi ang 1, masuya ang 1... =(

owkei ra na moresign oy. naa ra man jud na opportunities mo pop-up out of nowhere. =) and resign while your milk is daghan --- mao jud ni ako biggest regret.

Therese Habana said...

y don't u try giving them the ordinary milk na? kailangan gyud diay formula gyapon? dinhi dili uso ang follow-up milk. akio's pedia has been convincing me to switch to ordinary soy milk pero palit gyapon ko ug stage 2 sa iyang formula. he's on soy milk man kay allergic to cow's milk.

Therese Habana said...

sus mims if i wasnt breastfeeding akio noh ambot pila kaha consumo niya. he consumes about 1 can per week, pero kadtong kusog kusog pa di gyud abtan semana! karon hinuon ako na gisugdan ug soymilk lang, inom ra man and sa cup na dretso. taguon nako ni iyang bote ug tsupon kay mabusngi na unya.

rose buenconsejo said...

work ko as CSR, luckily homebased ra ko pero graveyard. DWC ang company, some US company nga gi outsource tanan ila work. =)

dali ra ka kita og work, QEX. =) silingan ra ba mo sa QEX? naa japon si ivan kangleon didto?

eeehhh, pediasure mahal. =)

rose buenconsejo said...

blame it on my product loyalty.=) bitaw, they suggested nido1+ pero more or less P50 ra may difference so wa na lng. i'm thinking of bear brand kay barato pero i remember when i was a kid, di man ko ganahan og bear brand so cross out na na sya na choice. i'll start looking lagi for other cheaper options.

rose buenconsejo said...

prehas sila ni migi, tres. i think mas dako jud consumo ang boys.

F a Y e said...

mao ra ni "monsters" nga mga cute kaayo :)

mimi herrera villaruel said...

hala uy, di ra baya gatas among gastoanan rose. mahal kaayo among apartment rental, among other things.

lagi uy, mega savings gyud daw magbreastfeed kay healthy sad ang baby. i'm praying i'll be able to breastfeed my second baby gyud.

aw, niresign na gyud diay ka rose? resign ko a month before ko manganak siguro nya pahuway for 6 months or 1 year then balik na sad work. i hope na pay opportunities by then :)

mimi herrera villaruel said...

hi therese. off topic, i had lunch and coffee today with chelo, aileen, malou and achinette.

kanindot ni akio kay pwede na cup and pwede na way tsupon. nigrabe na man nuon si marti karon kay whole night na gyud mag tsupon. ingon lagi minoy nga bati na daw syag lips/mouth :)

mimi herrera villaruel said...

hala, kanindot gud ana mam. na diay home-based work diri cebu?

in flowerchild said...

Im sorry rosie, unsay CSR? now, im the uncool one. home-based? wow! what do you actually do?

Therese Habana said...

mims, maypa mo nagsige kita nila chelo! asa naman inyong pictures? gipang tapul pa man mga taw karon noh? hehehe!!!

bitaw im training him since two days ago man siguro not to see his dede and tsupon. nabuhi man lagi sya. dako naman gud iyang upper front teeth nya murag ni aksyon na ug busngi. our dentist said ok ra ang tsupon until 12 months. nya ang amo pedia na kaila ni ingon i wean na gyud, butangan daw ug vicks kung kailangan hehehe!

Therese Habana said...

ayaw bear brand uy. try nido or anchor, ayaw nang naay +1. marketing ra na. parehas ra na gatas.

Therese Habana said...

rose, apila ta ana imong home based beh! hehehe!

Therese Habana said...

rhai, ngano pediasure man sya? in powder ba or ready to drink na? ngari kay pediasure ihatag if way gana mokaon. baby ensure man siguro na. am i right?

rose buenconsejo said...

ang ako nahibaw-an na kusog sa home-based is medical transcription but i have no idea unsaon pagkuha ana client, and kana mga writing2x thingy like editing. taga gawas mga clients. they're outsourcing here kay cheaper man.

rose buenconsejo said...

CSr - customer support rep. it's like working in a callcenter pero naa lng sa balay - so u'll answer calls, emails, and stuffs.

rose buenconsejo said...

pagbalik nako maternity leave, i think i stayed for 3 months sa work. quitting was super difficult decision, my 'pay' bisan gamay helped jud in daily expenses. 'bahala na si Lord' na jud to ako desisyon.

with your experience and brightness, i don't think lisod balik og work. God will provide. =)

feeling ba nako mag advise2x... aside from the babies, nagubutan na sad ko sa workplace/management plus layo mao ni quit ko. if scenario is different -- like dool ra, i'm not sure if ni quit sad ko. follow your heart/instincts lng jud, kon aha ka most comfortable. dont worry much about the odds, everything will fall into places. =)

rose buenconsejo said...

nah, mahalon man ka... =) they can't afford you.

mimi herrera villaruel said...

hi therese. mao lagi uy. daghan kay to silag gi take nga pics pero bitaw, wa pa siguro kalugar. nagpost man to si aileen sa among pics pag 1st EB. si mai nagpost sad didto sa iyang i.ph...daghan na kay kog gusto ipost nga pics ni marti, nabahaw na gyud ni tanan. kapoy man uy.

rhai quisumbing said...

hi tere, pediasure in powder, gnagmay raman gud ni kan.on ni rhianne sometimes, mao na i.supplement nalang nako iyang milk. =) dili man sad sya drink atong promil. so g.try nalang nako sya aning pedia, chocolate sad iyang ganahan dili sad sya vanilla. =)

mimi herrera villaruel said...
