It’s a little self-serving, but as soon as I log in to this account the first thing that I do is check the blog stats. I’m a creature of habit, and it’s one of those things I’ve automatically come to do, even though I don’t pay much attention to what it’s saying. Anyway, I log in today and saw the following key words that lead to my blog as a result:
Apparently, someone’s been searching for siopao bola bola around here. Listen, if you do find a place where siopao is to die for in NYC, please, let me know. The closest taste to the ones I’m accustomed to is from Mei Lai Wah at Bayard St. in Chinatown, so spread the love and good cheer when you (yes, you searcher you!) come across one. 
I wish I can tell you I’ve been busy with many amazing adventures hence the lack of update. Truthfully, I’ve been bitten by the lethargy bug and have become a mere spectator in the blogosphere in the last couple of weeks. I try not to go online whenever I get home from work, and I must admit it’s a tad comforting that I no longer obsess (that much) about missing a post or a chism here and there. For a while back, I’ve been so consumed with reading about other people’s lives it’s eerily, err, stalker-ish. 
On the baby front, my belly’s getting rounder! I used to conceal the bump with empire cut tops because I kind of looked like I just had a heavy meal when I wore a slightly tight one, but I now carry it proudly, and daintily, I might add. I’m a little bit concerned that I don’t seem to be gaining that much weight and except for the bump and perhaps a nose rounder than my already round schnozz , I think I’m still tiny for almost 5 months. The doc says things are well so I’m working my way around the ‘no need to worry’ part.
A few nights ago, I awoken to what seemed like a couple of pokes on my belly. I thought it was J so I didn’t pay much attention to it. When I asked him the following morning, he said he didn’t do poking of any sorts (now, don’t get any ideas…). Then when I was on the train to work the other day I felt something again, but this time it kind of felt like major bubble action inside my belly. I didn’t want to think the baby’s kicking already (baka kasi OA lang), but I read that around this time, faint movements are to be expected. I feel movements when I’m more relaxed, and let me tell you, it’s a weirdly amazing experience. I can’t wait until this kid does major sommersaults so J can finally feel it too. He thinks I’m just making it up, but I think he’s just jealous/sourgraping because I know better. We will know the gender in a couple of weeks and we’re excited beyond words.
I guess that’s a good dose of make-up entry. If you’ve made it this far, yay! I’m looking forward to a warmer temp in our area, I’d like to get my ass out and do major park-walking, hopefully my entries wouldn’t come so few and far between.
