Hi Guys!

I'm praying that I'll be with my hubby soon....hopefully this year. And when I get there, we are planning to have a baby, if GOD permits us to, coz I'm not getting any younger. BUT im getting Prettier every year..LOL....

Well, kidding aside! I bought a Baby Names Book. But I'm still not contented with the names listed there, too common! I wanted something unique!

So, I wanted to ask a big favor to you guys....please right your FULL COMPLETE NAME and your Spouse too. or IF you are too shy to give your names,you can just suggest some UNIQUE names..

VERY MUCH APPRECIATED. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

ME= Eva Mariel
Hubby= David Anthony

**see?!! its too common....


Unique name ba.... unsure.gif ok

ME= Juvy
Hubby=John Blakely

Pag pinagsama..... John VON Juvy ! Unique diba ?


laughing.gif kaloka ka sis! natawa kami ng asawa ko jan sa name na yan lol!


yes.gif Korek ka jan sistah! Kakatuwa naman mga names na ibibigay eh di kung lalaki Rodolfo pag babae Marieta. Mga guwapo at guwapa mga pangalan na yan.

Boy = Myron (reminds of my friend's boyfriend, she told me he is so handsome pero hindi ko pa nakilala ever hehehe)
Girl = Allyssa (name of the daughter of my kumpare, super bait ng bata)

a caregiver can be someone who goes into people's homes and takes care of an older person who just needs some help, like making meals or giving them a bath or helping them get dressed etc.....

and caregivers is a term that is used in the US...


Not in the Medical or Nursing field


Sounds more like a Nanny / Baby Sitter for old people............

I applied to work for an agency that hired out people to go work for older people who were still ok to be living on their own but needed some help.. they were specifically looking for people who had some kind of nursing degree... which I didn't have ..... they did hire me, in case someone needed help that didn't require a medical degree but I never heard from them...


I think in PI you must go to school for 6 months or 2 years to become a Care Giver.....

Caregiver is a six months course and after you need to had an oral examination at TESDA. They said that they will make it two year course, hope they won't.

I'll join. =)

Believe it or not, the first tagalog word that my hubby learned from me was "Mabantot ikaw"

Someone from our neighborhood was frying a dried fish and he asked what was that smell. And I said it's a dried fish.
I translated it to tagalog.. to "mabantot na isda".... and unnoticeable, he asked me what's tagalog of "you". I translated it to "Ikaw"... and Gosh! tawagin ba naman ako ng...

"MABANTOT KA!".. naloka ako. hahaha.

HAHAHAHA

First Tagalog he knew was "Mano po". I hope he still knew it. Good thing about learning the language, he teach our dog to learn the Tagalog. Our dog knows more Tagalog than he is. rofl.gif
Our dog knows "upo" , "dapa" and "sandali".
Hubby sometimes forget upo and says upa (upo and dapa) hahahaha

Watch the cab drivers and let your wife be the one to negotiate prices because they will try to charge extra to foreigners. Make sure you get a quote of price before getting into the cab, best to use the metered ones than try to work a deal with a driver. Avoid the Airport taxi service since they are the highest rates in the city.


Surely they wouldn't try to charge Americans the "Long Nose" or "Kano" prices whistling.gif

It happened to us last year. I was with my husband and wow.gif they were trying to charge us P700 just to go at our hotel. It only costs fifty pesos. That's too much!

PhilippinesImmunizations and Pregnancy
Avoid getting pregnant for a month and that is HPV. If you are pregnant you should not get the vaccine. The vaccine appears o be safe for both the mother and the unborn baby, but it is still being studie. Receiving HPV vaccine when pregnant is not a reason to consider terminating the pregnancy. Women who are breast feeding may safely get the vaccine.

It's is a first come first serve basis. She can done it early maybe two-three weeks in case they need to do secondary testing. I suggest to drink bear brand sterilized milk before going to her medical. This help! I've done it every time I will had my medical. BE sure that your fiancee bring vaccination records(if she had), letter from USEM, email send by the call center, passport, 3 visa pictures, money (for payment) and black pen. Hopefully things go fine. Good luck!
