One Satisfied Preggo

February 7 Thursday

Woke up late, tired and famished. It's around 11am and my body still wants to rest but my tummy is saying otherwise. My tummy won ofcourse. Ate corned beef, egg, rice, pusit dipped in vinegar and oranges today. Wasn't really hungry now that I'm infront of different kinds of food. But I'm definitely craving for an ensaymada and chakoy. It's a bread that has margarine and sugar on top and tastes really yummy with cheese. Since we don't have them here and neither Mark nor I can make one, I tried satisfying my craving with a piece of bread and a powdered milk and milo. It somehow did the trick but  after a few hours I was still yearning for the ensaymada and chakoy. Sad sad morning.

What frustrates me more is that most of the posts in facebook involves food. Food that are so not instantly available here. It made me crave more. My sister, Ate Manlette, also added to the frustrations I had. She told me that her husband, Kuya Mike will be eating siopao and goto. Argh. I want some. He also have easy access to Pinoy store so he's able to buy any pinoy food he wants anytime he wants to. In my case, I have to travel atleast 45minutes just to get hand of the pinoy foods that I crave for. So disappointing.

Thankfully, one of our housemates, Tita Edith, decided to cook lumpia. Hoping this one satisfies all my cravings. It did. We ate at around half past seven, and I've eaten alot. Rice, lumpia, chili sauce and all. Without taking my eyes off my plate. That's how hungry I was and how desperate I want to be satisfied, food wise. I ended up with some oranges and a few gulps of juice. Yummy. Now I now my baby loves oranges and lumpia. I also noticed that I always itch for something sweet but I try to deny myself of that urge coz I heard that too much of those during pregnancy can be harmful for both mommy and baby. But once in a while I do give in to those sweet urges.

I haven't experienced any discomforts today, just the usual exhaustion and burping. Over all, the day was a satisfying one. Hopefully for the next coming days, I get to satisfy my palette again without being grumpy and all.
