Once again I am a few days late. The truth of the matter is, there aren’t many new exciting updates on the pregnancy front (aside from the gross ones — see below) and it’s almost becoming a drag writing these weekly updates. HOWEVER, I know that there are readers who look forward to these posts AND […]
I may be pregnant and hormonal, but I TOTALLY CRIED watching this Google commercial and I’m not ashamed to admit it. This video holds special significance to anyone like me whose parents sacrificed everything to immigrate to a foreign country — a land where they did not know the language, where they were (and continue to […]
My high school had a weighted GPA system that took into account the level of different classes. For example, receiving an ‘A’ in a regular class would count as 4.00 while receiving the same grade in an honors class would earn you a 4.33. An AP class would raise the average even higher with a […]
Ever since I got pregnant I have been encouraging J to go out and spend more time with his friends. I figure that his days of partying will be cut back significantly once the baby arrives, so I like for him to enjoy his last “free” days and get it out of his system as much […]
Ask a Korean! has posted a great (translated) article on a Korean reporter’s comparison between Apple and Samsung in respect to their latest smartphones. After omitting some content that I believed not to be as relevant for purposes of this post, here is a good-sized excerpt: iPhone users, instead of playing number games, create a […]
While on our babymoon, I noticed a slight line extending up from my public bone. “I think I’m starting to get my linea nigra,” I told J. “What’s that?” “A dark vertical line — usually extending from the belly button and the pubic area — that appears in most pregnancies.” “You mean a happy trail?” […]
All the mommy/pregnancy blogs I read post tons of nursery inspiration photos, show off all the lovely DIY goodies they have crafted for their child(ren), and seem genuinely excited about filling their homes with baby clothes, toys, and accessories. Me? Not so much. Beautiful nurseries are nice, to be sure, but I’m too cheap and […]
Today I read that the DOT is considering a ban on in-flight peanuts. This made me very sad for two reasons: 1.) I can’t remember the last time I was offered a package of peanuts on an airplane. And I used to love those suckers! Watch/listen to this hilarious clip from a stand-up show by Ellen […]
Among the 500+ sites I subscribe to on Google Reader, there has been much talk about trolls as of late. While I firmly believe that true trollers consist of mean-spirited persons who have nothing better to do, I have also been noticing a trend toward labeling commenters as trolls and jumping all over them simply […]
Things are progressing slowly but surely. I am feeling more and more movements above my belly button, whereas before most of the kicks and punches stayed in the lower regions. I have also started to feel simultaneous jabs this week (ie, one on my upper right side and the other on the bottom left) which […]
I like books, gadgets, spicy food, and art. I dislike shopping, hot weather, and the laws of entropy. Although I am a self-proclaimed computer nerd, I still have a love for handbags and makeup... and I am always teetering on high heels. To learn more about me, visit the "About" page.
