some weeks ago i received something in the mail i never thought i would have in my entire lifetime -- a credit card. yes, plastic just in time for these materialistic times. i have used it, alas. i lack the self-control i so wish i have. but i am proud of myself for not maxing it out...yet. i have bought clothes for my growing tummy and only did so with plastic because i was saving my cash for other, uh, purposes. i cannot wait for my statement to arrive because i so want to pay off my debt (and spend more! mwahahaha!)

i promised to myself i'd pay the whole thing come january 18th. but you know what they say about promises.

i was supposed to have my ultrasound scan yesterday but doggone it! my doctor couldn't make it as she was facilitating the birth of another patient in a far away hospital. i have dreamt a few days ago that i am carrying a boy and doc said we'll hopefully be able to see tomorrow. just as i am writing this baby did a few kicks near my belly button. s/he's been doing that a lot lately and it makes the urge to pee stronger. it sort of tickles too. oh boy.

finally, the gods of christmas bonuses have answered my prayers. them extra dough is here but it went directly to the bank, it did not pass go, i did not collect $1,000 but i can be sure that my stay in the hospital in april will be financially worry-free. *sigh*
if only i could be happy with not having any gifts to wrap before christmas. i can't go shopping just yet -- my growing tummy and my full bladder will interfere too much with my bargain hunting in tutuban. i am looking forward to boxing day in which i will scour the streets of divisoria for gifts for my godchildren and the little one who's pushing and pulling on our umbilical cord right this very moment. *ouch* i have to go pee.
