:::Presenting mr. Sleephyhead:::

Last night, I received a text while I was going to sleep. My bestfriend had sent me pics of little Samuel when they visited him on Saturday. I was very sleepy and grumpy, so I resisted so that I can see it in the morning and have a reason to be excited to wake up.

And he is adorable as his grandma says. Pogi/handssome and beautiful face. Ofcourse I couldn’t help but shed a tear or two with my first encounter. I wanted to touch his soft skin and carry him. So many has carried him now excepet for his auntie.

Love my bestfriend. She is so super thoughtful and saved me from being restless not seing his face. Here he is:

and here with his mama. She looks tired poor sis, but happy over her bundle of joy:

and here with my preggy bestfriend who is expecting hers in february:

Look at him pouting. So cute.

Well, he is quite the sleepyhead, ain’t he, lol. Sis said that sometimes when she is to breastfeed (she has stopped now because of her diarrhea who is intensifying) he falls asleep. He needs his rest I guess with his heart condition; to stay strong and healthy till his procedure. He has two open veins that shouldn’t be open. One of them could close on its own, while the other should have closed within 18 hrs after birth, which it hasn’t. Hope is for Jehova to close them or make the procedure go smooth. I just want her to enjoy her baby after all that she’ve been through in her life and in giving birth.

And here is a picture of Ariana, my bestfriend’s coming baby. Can you see her sucking her thumb?

:::Whining down:::

Not a typo, but a word game. I was whining so much last blog entry. Today, after seing all this pics and getting comments from sis in the digi commmunity, and ofcourse encouragement from God and my husband, I can see more clearly now hoe blessed I really am.

Just above are images of people I love that makes me happy even though they are far away. My ever so loving bestfriend, my one and only sister who I love and adore, the newly arrived Samuel and the coming Ariana. Not to mention, a wonderful family, another bestfriend through my husband and a wonderful loving god who looks after me and my loved ones.

All these small stuff that bothers me from time to time is nothing compared to the love I am surrounded with. Normally I will have these ranting moments from time to time, but in the end love conquers all.

:::Food:::

I found langka/jackfruit here in Norway to my delight. Expensive, but great to eat a local delicacy in the Philippines. I also found tamarind candy which I loved in the Philippines. The only thing lacking now is Chocnut.

I made one more kurdish food after watching my sis in laws make it in one of their visits here. Red lentil soup. Bizzi loved that, and good for me that I nailed it when I first attempted to make it. I think that getting confidence by succeeding in my attempts, makes me more brave to try cooking more and more.

:::Opportunity:::

Another thing that has been occupying my mind lately is the opportunity of work in the Philippines. IBM is in need of norwegian speaking customer service employees. The salary is approximately equivalent to Norwegian salary, and that is very good for living in Philippines. I’ve always hoped for this. Before I migrated bca to Norway, I apllied in the Norwegian Embassy as receptionist. Had a nice chat with the norwegians who worked there, but I didn’t nail the job. Now that opportunity is knocking, it isn’t that easy anymore. What about our debts here, what about the good things we will be leaving here and what about Bizzi? He is geared about staying in the Philippines, but both me and him is concerned over how he will work there for a living. He is not so confident in the english language. In any case, he didn’t want to be seperated from me. Some couple sacrifice and stay away from each other for some reason like work, but he said he wasn’t one of them.

I am just incredibly happy for him as my husband. I guess with all my irregularity, my hormones is sometimes raging, but he always keeps his cool, and that makes me cool down and apologize.

The other day, as I was working in Rema grocery store, as extra this Saturday, he surprised me by showing up at work 3 hours before I was finished and kept me in company to follow me home. The days after he finished working, he always went downtown to pick me up from work. And he is loving my country so much. He looks at real estate pages in the net and watches Philippien tv show with our now abs-cbn subscription in the internet. He is very familiar with wowoee and Kris Aquino. He likes to imitate her hand crossing gesture in deal or no deal and her: Korek. I think he wants to travel back right now.

Blogging two days in a row. Looks like I am catching up, ey!?
