Facebook stopped working for an hour and I find myself with nothing to do. I've been spending so much of my time there lately it is insane. I'm now actively playing 3 games from Millionaire City, Resort World, and the latest Cafe Life. Those games aren't even that great but it helps pass time on my days off. Blogging to me is now a chore so if you notice me blog less and less that's probably why. I should set up a schedule that'll give me ample time to find material for my blog instead of trying to blog daily. I was thinking maybe twice a week as a good way to start every Mondays and Fridays.
The whole weekend I've been wondering what to write. It's actually harder than I thought to own a blog. Signing up is one thing but maintaining it is another. So I'm going to write a review about Tom Cruise's recent movie.
This movie made over $200 million worldwide but less than $100 million in the U.S. If you make less than $100 million (domestic) that means the movie's a bust but for me this is the only time I've seen Tom Cruise as a funny guy! All of his roles in the past have been so serious so to me this is a breath of fresh air. Tom plays an agent gone rogue and Cameron Diaz plays a normal girl who gets her life tangled with Tom's as they find themselves on the same airplane. I've never laughed so hard the whole time I was watching this movie. He's just so funny in this movie! I especially like the scene when he was hanging upside down and Cameron's passed out somewhere just coming into. That's in the preview by the way so I'm not really ruining it for anyone who hasn't seen the movie. I won't say much about how this movie turns out. Go watch it I promise you'll have fun.

My Reason for quitting Twitter
Coming back from Vancouver I lost the enthusiasm to tweet. I thought to myself if she didn't want to share that with me then why am I an open book to her. After having that train of thought I decided I wasn't going to tweet anymore. I wanted to deprive her of the details of my life just to show her what it felt like to be on the other end. When I learned about my pregnancy, I told my family and my husband's family but I never included her side of the family. I made them find out on facebook just like the rest of the world. Though of course my Mom and my sister probably mentioned it already but the fact that I didn't say it to them personally gave me great satisfaction. Now that my cousin knows I'm pregnant she's reaching out again texting how my morning sickness is going and such. I'd like to be happy that she's trying to have a relationship with me again but the bitterness is still there. Right now I just can't do it. Maybe in time I'll heal but for now everything's still fresh.

Food, food, food
What not to eat when you're pregnant or what to watch out for
-raw food
-veggies/fruits wash thoroughly
-seafood from the ocean (as it may contain mercury)
-dairy products and juice make sure it's pasteurized (in Canada dairy products found in the grocery stores are all pasteurized)
-deli meat (if you must cook it to get rid of potential salmonella)
-limit caffeine intake
Myth on what food you cannot eat
-spicy food (chilis, jalapenos, etc actually has vitamin C so it's okay to eat unless it gives you heartburn)
-ice cream (Chinese people are big on this and I don't understand why-my Dr and the book never said anything about pregnant women not allowed to eat ice cream)
As I'm still on my first trimester, the book says the baby doesn't need the extra calories from the mother since it's still small. I hear a lot that pregnant women should eat twice as much since the mother is eating for two but you have to remember the second person is very tiny (pea-like!) in the first trimester (1 to 12 weeks). In the second trimester, the mother needs 300 calories to 350 calories extra which is equivalent to 2 glasses of skim milk and a bowl of oatmeal (let me tell you that is not a lot at all!) In the third trimester, the mother can or should eat 500 cal extra.
I'm going to be doing more research and readings as I go into my second trimester. For now, I'm enjoying my insane food cravings :)
Girls and Relationships
I have a friend who's a really nice girl (she's 19) but very stupid when it comes to guys and relationships. I've known her for about 2 years now and since I've known her she's always overlapping her guys. Up until last night I've stayed out of her business but I don't know what came over me (pregnancy hormones?) or maybe I'm just tired of her bullshit that I just snapped. Currently, she's living with her boyfriend of over a year. The way they met last year, she was also living with another guy at the time and somehow the two weeks I didn't see her she switched boyfriends (and houses). The whole time she was with this guy of over a year now, she's been entertaining other guys and even cheated on him. When I say cheated on him I mean she had a one night stand with some guy meanwhile convincing me she was in love with him but didn't break it off with her boyfriend anyway. Last night, she was on the phone with this other guy and I've been joining in their phone conversation out of jest but I must've listened in at a bad time since what I heard from him went like this, "so you must feel weird dating an old pervert." Upon hearing this I thought seriously? Again? She made mistake of telling me about one of her ex boyfriends and the guy on the phone heard her say she was living with that one so she had no choice but to tell him she did live with a guy. Lived with a guy? There's something missing in this info so I said, "and now too?" which of course the guy on the phone heard. She started freaking out and told the guy not to mind me since I'm just.. To this I said, "just being truthful?" She ran out of the room so fast stammering to explain to the guy that I wasn't serious. I think she wanted to be mad at me because after she hung up with the guy she started saying, "oh Kathy..." and to this part I said, "what the hell was that???!!! Are you serious?!" all she could say was, "I know, I don't know what's going on anymore." Before we parted last night the last thing I said to her was to fix it. Fix it fast.
When I saw my husband later last night, I told him the story, and he said I should've just minded my own business. I told him yes he's right and that's what I've been doing since I met her, and I couldn't take it anymore. He then said, "why did it take you this long to realize your friend is a slut. I knew from the first time I met her that's what she was!" Of course I knew she was already this way when I met her but I didn't care what she was doing. For two years I didn't think I treated her as a friend until last night.
