I was thinking to myself last night, maybe I should of documented my pregnancy like all the other moms. I can't believe it's been 30 weeks already, which means I have less than 10 weeks to meet the next love of my life. It's been super exciting for us both. There are definitely ups and downs where I just feel like crap or become a psycho. Thanks to the other half for putting up with my craziness throughout this pregnancy.
Another exciting news is, we're getting married at City hall. I still feel at shock to address him as my "husband" and just crazy that we're having a baby on the way. There has just been so much events in our lives and we are truly blessed with everything we have.
Baby has been very active throughout the whole pregnancy, which is a good thing. Every time I feel those kicks it just makes me smile inside. There are times where I wake up in the middle of the night to use the bathroom, I'll lay there for a bit in bed after and feel his little kids. It's like he's assuring me that he's awake with me. The simplest things are the more memorable things ever.
We took our engagement pictures a few weeks ago and our photographer was nice enough to send us 2 photos that he edited so far. I am in love with it! It looks awesome, all the shots that we took, and I can't wait to see the rest. It better be worth it because I was sore for about 3+ days. Hopefully when we get old, I can show our kid(s) the memories we made that day.
Time is flying, which means I need to start planning out the remainder days at work and also do some wedding planning. We sort of gotten our guest list, but still need to narrow down who's coming and who's not.
Until then, I'll try to update more. :)

Almost a year later...
It's been almost a year since I've even blogged, where have all the time went and what the hell I've been doing this whole time huh?
Where do I start? I've been living in California for almost a year now. I am truly blessed and grateful for all the opportunities I've had since I've been here. I am working Full Time at a Corporate office as a System Analyst 2. If you asked me what I wanted to do a year ago, I would have had no idea but given all the opportunities I've had since I've lived here. I am able to expand not only my knowledge, but I was able to build a strong network within a supporting community. Again, I would have never thought I'd be so lucky to be able to provide not only for myself but my future family.
I got engaged to the person I met 5 years ago and we're expecting our first child next year. A lot of people have doubted us, but we never gave up because we knew what we both wanted. We took the time to work things out and I am thankful for everything I have right now. Nothing can be any better than carry the child of the person you love. We are beyond excited and there are many challenges we're going to face throughout the process of providing for our little family. I believe we're both ready and we're going to do everything we can to make sure baby gets what he wants.
It was so intriguing to see and feel that there's a growing baby in your body. They say you'll never understand the pain your mom go through till you actually become a mom yourself, I concur. It hasn't been easy for me, but I am doing everything I can to make sure we have a healthy baby. The doctor said, I am high risk since I am diabetic. It's been a rough journey for me, I have to measure my glucose level 4 times at day and inject 2 insulin a day. One before bedtime and one before breakfast since breakfast sugar level has been high. I'd have to say it's rough, but I am going to push through.
Sometimes, I feel like it's still surreal that there's a little baby growing inside me. A lot of people have asked if I felt its kicks yet. I've felt a lot of things in my belly but I can't differentiate whether those are kicks or just him being a active baby moving around. Nonetheless, I am super excited and blessed to be able to grow a baby inside me and eventually hold him in my arms. There are still so much I have to learn on how to be a good mom and both of us to become a good parent. There isn't good or bad, but I definitely know there is a long learning process. Trial and error right?
Nothing to exciting, but I will try to keep a progress about the pregnancy since that's the highlight in my life right now besides the engagement.

Brand New Me
It's been a little over a month being at my new home and I've been adjusting pretty well. I feel like I've changed as a person. I am a lot more confident in what I have to say and how I want to express myself. I've been engaging and doing everything I could because opportunity only happens so many times. I want to be able to grasp all the options I have and knowing I tried is what really matters to me.
When I say, "Brand New Me," a lot of people may wonder what I mean by that, so let me take some time to elaborate on what I really mean. As I've mentioned in my previous blog, I've been accepted into this amazing program. There is only one thing I feel constantly is "grateful" because I am given the opportunity to enhance my hidden skills I've never knew about and being able to know myself a little more. I used to be someone who never really cared about my appearances, had very bad time management, and was not a very detailed or organized person. I have to say, this program have definitely pushed me over my limits.

I used to be someone who never really cared about my appearances, had very bad time management, and was not a very detailed or organized person. I have to say, this program have definitely pushed me over my limits.
I am proud to say, I dress like a professional every single day and I am at least one hour early to make sure I can do some last minute things I haven't completed or need to brush up on. People would say, "Why do you come here so early?" My answer of course would be, "I would rather be early than late." Like, I've mentioned I was a person who never really manged my time wisely, so I was constantly procrastinating (not that I don't do that now, but I am working on it) and not being aware of what needs to be done. I improved by making a list of things I have to do. For example, when I go grocery shopping I will prepare a list of things I need to buy and I try to break things down from needs/wants.
I am not ashamed to admit, but I lived at home probably all my life. This move was definitely a milestone or biggest change of my life. I've been preparing my own meals and packing my own lunch. We all know when you work in a financial area or district food are higher than normal because business owners tend to overprice their stuff. I can't say I don't go out and eat at all, but I am a lot more considerate in how I spend my money and where I spend my money. Things just aren't the same because I am on my own and I have to take the time to figure out what is necessary and what is now.
Before, I moved I thought I would never cook and the only thing I would cook is Ramen. The first thing I did when I moved here was going to the supermarket and getting a box of Ramen. I am proud to say that I've only eaten maybe two or three packets in the past month because I've been making food from scratch. It may seem like nothing, but this is a huge accomplishment for me. I look back and reflect what happened the past month I feel like I am different and more stronger as a whole.
I am cherishing and grasping every opportunity that hits me because things don't come easily. I am working hard and hoping it will pay off in the future. I, myself, know that it will be worth it in the long run. I am ready for some more new changes and what God has in store for me.
