I came across this list back in August and I thought of sharing it here. I totally forgot about it, but you know, it's better late than never. These things mentioned totally make sense. Share it of you agree!

A few weeks after I received Jeff and I's engagement photos from Framed-Up Production in 2011, I emailed a certain wedding blog/website if I can send them the photos and if they can feature it. I have adored our prenup photos. I have never seen a basketball prenup ever. So I thought, maybe this will be interesting enough for them.

"Wala pa ba?"
"Hindi ka pa ba buntis?"
"Kelan kayo magbe-baby?"
These are few of the questions that I still get until now, until after I wrote about my condition. I have read somewhere that September is the National PCOS Awareness Month. Wow, I didn't know we actually have a month for us! I feel like it's the perfect time to write about this.
PCOS or Polycystic Ovary Syndorme is one of the most common female endocrine problem. In layman's term, it is hormonal imbalance. It affects a woman's body -- she gains weight, have acne breakouts, more hair in the body, and no ovulation. There are also more male hormones in the body than female hormones. It is said that 1 out of 15 women has it. I'm quite confused because I think 1/3 of all my female friends have PCOS. Has the number gone up since I don't know when? Has stress taken it's toll to our kind?

I'm not sure if you are interested to know what our ovary looks like, but for your reference, here's a photo from http://womenshealth.gov |
I always look forward to eating whenever Jeff and I travel. Knowing that El Nido is surrounded with water, I expected to indulge myself with a lot of seafood. True enough, El Nido did not disappoint us. Here are our Top 5 favorite places to eat in town.

El Nido Part 2: Where to Stay in El Nido
8:01 PM
El Nido, Palawan is a very small and simple town. With limestone walls everywhere, it was like a hidden paradise that only the most eager adventurers would find. Jeff and I went to El Nido last August 21. We booked our flights with Airphil Express (now PAL Express) last January 2013 which I think only costs about P4000 or so, two way, for the two of us. Great deal, yeah?
We stayed in Barangay Buena Suerte, which literally means 'good luck' in Spanish. El Nido, on the other hand, is a Spanish term which translates to 'the nest'. I am guessing it got it's name from the local bird, balinsasayaw, that builds its nests in the caves. The balinsasayaw nest is the main ingredient of the famous Nido Soup. We really had a 'good luck in the nest' because when we left Manila in August 21, the monsoon rains were still so bad that so many flights were cancelled. Our plane was the last flight out of Manila. It was also gloomy on the day that we arrived, but it cleared up on the next two days. It was so hot that we got sunburned!
