24 Weeks

Thu, 17 Dec 2009 13:17:47 GMT

Gonna hit 24 weeks tomorrow and I havent yet blogged a single thing about my pregnancy. Dunno why I didn't have the desire to but I should... I wanna be able to remember what it was like being pregnant after all that is done. Oh well. I am hoping to get a good belly shot this week and send it out as our christmas card to our family and friends. We'll see if that actually happens.

I just got back from Florida, spending a week with my Uncle Ron and Earl. It was a nice break from my daily routine here in Worcester. We got some sun and some beach time. Lots of movies, ofc... and great company.

Alright, I'm gonna try and summarize my 24 weeks journey in few words:

Positive pregnancy at 5 weeks. EDD: April 10, 2010.
5-14 weeks: acute morning sickness
15-17: Exhaustion (no morning sickness or baby movement)
18-20: Felt baby inside but no kicking.
20-24: Baby kicking a lot - esp at night. Belly bigger as well as boobs.

Cravings: Fruits, esp ruby red grapefruit juice.

No idea if its a boy or girl. We also haven't picked out names for our kid. Got some so-so ones in mind but nothing that jumps at us. Hopefully, we'll have something to work with in next two months or so. :)

Today, I'm gonna start registering for baby stuff - I think we're gonna have a baby shower in Feb and we're gonna have it in DC. Then its baby time. :)

Ode to Atlantic Ocean

The waters in Atlantic ocean
have come traveled from afar--
just to simply to crash here and
just to simply to return.
From here lies her warm body--
impregnated and reborn
with visions of Atlantic ocean
that've come simply for her.

I know I have not been posting my blog entries much these days. We've pretty much abandonded xanga over Facebook and Twitter but I still like to keep my xanga handy whenever I feel like it. I've had this blog for years now - might as well keep it running until my fingers fall off or until xanga files bankuptcy. :)

A lot has been going on this past year and most of them are very exciting. I got married and so did my younger brother, Frank. Damon and I also got our new business running last week. There is still lots to be done but we're getting there. I'll be also retiring my one-woman show, starting Jan 2010 and am looking forward to several projects that we got in store. Currently, we are working on a children's book (we got three lined up) and hope to publish it this summer. We also are working on releasing printed copies of KF issues.

I've also been working with ASL TALES on one of their books and I've been asked to perform at Worldeaf Cinema Festival. Lots to do and so little time and hopefully a whole lotta fun.

I'm looking forward to what the year 2010 will bring. I have a feeling that it will be a good one. It ought to be.

First Day of Spring

five hundred twenty five thousand moments
how do you measure a year?
fall back, spring forward,
gotta save time for a happy new year!
first day of spring, always be sure to
grab some crayons to draw
cos that's the way it has always been,
always, my young girl
give thanks and be merry!
glad tidyings to you and you!
won't you come and sing with me?
oh, please, now won't you?
the sun is shining down above us,
its spring and easy, all around us
gotta pledge my allegiance
hail my marys to the church!
i have a promise, a possbility...
with a capital P! oh, my!
fall back, spring forward
gotta save our good times.

Cry Me a River - translated by Rosa Lee

Sat, 03 Jan 2009 13:46:53 GMT

Note: Translation is not the same as the lyrics.

"Cry Me A River"

You were my sun
You were my earth
But you didn't know all the ways I loved you, no
So you took a chance
And made other plans
But I bet you didn't think that they would come crashing down, no

You don't have to say, what you did,
I already know, I found out from him
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
And don't it make you sad about it

You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
To cry, cry me a river
Cry me a river-er
Cry me a river
Cry me a river-er, yea yea

I know that they say
That somethings are better left unsaid
It wasn't like you only talked to him and you know it
(Don't act like you don't know it)
All of these things people told me
Keep messing with my head
(Messing with my head)
You should've picked honesty
Then you may not have blown it
(Yea..)

You don't have to say, what you did,
(Don't have to say, what you did)
I already know, I found out from him
(I already know, uh)
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it

You told me you loved me
Why did you leave me, all alone
(All alone)
Now you tell me you need me
When you call me, on the phone
(When you call me on the phone)
Girl I refuse, you must have me confused
With some other guy
(I'm not like them baby)
Your bridges were burned, and now it's your turn
(It's your turn)
To cry, cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river-er
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea

Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be leaving
Oh
(Oh)
The damage is done
So I guess I be... leaving

You don't have to say, what you did,
(Don't have to say, what you did)
I already know, I found out from him
(I already know, uh)
Now there's just no chance, for you and me, there'll never be
(No chance, you and me)
And don't it make you sad about it

Cry me a river
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river-er
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river
(You can go on and just)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea

Cry me a river
(Baby go on and just)
Cry me a river-er
(Go on and just)
Cry me a river
(Cause I've already cried)
Cry me a river-er, yea yea
(Ain't gonna cry no more, yea-yea)

Cry me a river
Cry me a river, oh
Cry me a river, oh
Cry me a river, oh

Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)

Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river, oh
(Cry me, cry me)
Cry me a river
(Cry me, cry me)
