First Born July 14,2009

      It was monday, 13th of august at around 5am when I felt there was some thick liquid like water with a streak of blood(my water bag was just a lil broke) gushing down my thighs not to mention some of it on our family bed. I thought at that time if im already on
labor but i felt no pain at all. Funny thing instead to hurry down the hospital I hurried on my laptop and logged in to my ym.I didnt know why but then luckily my nurse friend was in and so I asked lots of  questions to her and I was calmed down(thanks pampam!)
She advised me and even if not, to go get check so during my visit to my OB that morning at 7am, he said that I was on early labor and a cm dilated. He had me have a contraction test but since i wasnt feeling any pain and had a negative result, my doc allowed me to go home to take some rest but told me the warning signs of when to go back.
     It was that night at around 6pm when I was feeling pains already. As if my lower back was gonna break(Gosh!) with an hour interval till 8pm it came down to 45mins, then at 10pm the pains went from 45mins to 30mins. At around 12md I couldn't bear the pain
anymore with 15 to 10mins interval each pain every contraction.
My husband on the other hand, knowing that I was gonna deliver his son soon bought himself some korean wine and celebrated as soon as he came home from work,so while I couldnt sleep from pain he's busy snoring from drinking the wine^^(not funny that time at all).Anyways so at 1am 14th of July I decided to get my already packed bags and woke my husband up to head down the hospital(expecting my lil boy when we go back home^^)..I was positive even in pain.
     At the hospital I had a nice room with a flat screen tv, scented candles and all those stuffs but when the pain began with 5mins intervals all those nice things faded(I didnt even eat the snacks i packed for myself). As the time closed by and so the pain got worse.
Way back my last few days before the labor began, inside my packed hospital bag were my camera to take some photos and to record the process. I was really planning to get all the things i wanted after the delivery which were to have some mementoes from labor to
delivery(thats if i deliver normally), listen to some music, eat candies and chocolates.
The labor got really worst from 5am until 1pm.Those times where stamped in  my life forever. The pain was unbearable so I ended up having Caesarian operation. Yes! I got into labor then end up having the operation. The thing was when my doc measured me up at 5am I was 75% dilated so 25% more. We were really positive to have it normally but after 2 hours i didnt progress, my cervix was not open well but we still waited for 2 more hours. After that last checked and still the same,my doc decided to cut me open because of I was already stressed and so theres a possiblity that my baby was stress as well and and its not good.
       Anyway I and my husband talked, i said i want to wait but due to many reasons and one of which was that its really painful. Of course it was but i mean the device that was measuring all my contractions were all high at the last hour before the operation
~meaning the pain was really intense~ My doc even said i should be at 100% based on the pain i was feeling but then fate had come to its place and so theres no other way but to go with the flow.In the end I got operated and after almost a week at the hospital, we went home with my handsome lil' man.
The story of the feeling when i first saw him is on the next blog. Thanks for reading^^

The Truth of Forgiving the Past...

     The past cannot escape of who we are right now..right? Because of those experiences behind us  comes the new version of us. Of who we are and what we do, on how we act and react to things, on how we think, response or on how we deal with  things.      All of us are products of  our own past. It can either be from a good or bad pasts memories and or event. I want to point on the bad past in this blog.        People who tried to destroy others or hurt others might be coming from a trauma that they once experience. Some of those hurtful experiences might be a close friend who turned his back when you were in desperate situation or from a  traumatic experience from a  separated parents or can be due to an unfortunate event that we really  could not forget.              F rom all of these bad slope in our life do we realize what effect  they caused                         us? What did we do when we were in this difficult situation. How did we react and                   w

Resident Registration Application....

SO then last year, I decided to pursue studying through KIIP to get my citizenship last year. KIIP by the way is a program from the Korean immigration that allows individuals with a valid Visa to learn Korean that will eventually be the fastest key(for some) to apply for the citizenship when passed until level 5.  For those who are curious what KIIP is, i have a separate blog about it, please check them out. So then I took the level test and got lev.4 that is why i was able to finish until lev.5 easily~ yay!!~.application is a little bit complicated as well but with the right documents it will be easy. Here are the HOW TO's.. 1. A text message will pop, telling you na " in 10 days" makakatanggap ka ng letter from the immigration about sa application ng citizenship(actually 2days lang dumating na xa).. **so wait nlng after receiving a message from them wag maxado maexcite..hahaha 2.The letter from the immigration which has "귀화허가 통지서" or &q

Have you heard about Kawasaki Disease?

Based in American Heart Association, K awasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is a children's illness characterized by fever, rash, swelling of the hands and feet, irritation and redness of the whites of the eyes, swollen lymph glands in the neck, and irritation and inflammation of the mouth, lips and throat.   Named after Dr. Tomisaku Kawasaki, a Japanese pediatrician, the disease has probably been in existence for a long time, but was not recognized as a separate entity until 1967. The incidence is higher in Japan than in any other country. In the United States it is more frequent among children of Asian-American background, but can occur in any racial or ethnic group.  The heart may be affected in as many as one of five children who develop Kawasaki disease. Damage sometimes occurs to the blood vessels that supply the heart muscle (the coronary arteries) and to the heart muscle itself. A weakening of a coronary artery can result in an enlargement or swell
