Prior to that, however, I told my husband to give me some time to prepare for the financial aspect of it first. Having heard of the health cards and their benefits, I inquired from other newly-weds regarding the best hmo to get and the benefits that one could get.<br /><br />Having our decision to get pregnant in mind, I searched for the hmo which offers maternity benefits. Unfortunately, the hmo providers do not provide maternity benefits to individual account applicants. To add to my frustration, the health cards do not cover pre and post natal check-ups as well.<br /><br />I have decided not to get a health card anymore. The husband, however, encouraged me to still get one. Now, I am in search for the best health card. I have heard of Medicard and Mexicard as the more popular ones.<br /><br />Can you please help me decide?newbiewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126111303505715551noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503488652315379439.post-39811743766263141332009-01-14T19:32:00.000-08:002009-01-14T19:33:28.113-08:00Smart Gold and Nokia N96<p class="MsoNormal">Last December, I opted to just avail of the Smart Plan bundled with N96.

According to the Smart officer, there were some defects in the N96 phones. They still don’t know when the phones will be available or if the phones would still be given to the existing applicants.

Time to change?<br /><br />This is actually a cause of alarm for me because I’ve been using Internet Explorer since last year. That’s simply because other browsers such as Mozilla Firefox did not run properly with Windows Vista.

We, however, called it off because we both felt that our bodies would like to recharge. Talk about a stressful week that had just ended.<br /><br />Anyway, we’re now thinking of the best gifts that we could give to our parents. We failed to give our parents their presents during our wedding so we would like to give them special gifts this time. It’s just so hard to think of the best things to give to them.<br /><br />I am also secretly thinking of the gift that I could give to my husband. I know that if I ask if what he wants, he would just tell me not to give him anymore and just buy something for myself. I, however, want to give him a Christmas present.<br /><br />Christmas is really giving me a lot of things to think about and ponder on.newbiewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126111303505715551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503488652315379439.post-31225953517488338302008-12-15T16:51:00.000-08:002008-12-15T16:54:44.792-08:00A Special ChristmasToday is December 16. It’s officially the start of our 9 days of Christmas.<br /><br /> This Christmas is very special to me because it is the first one that my husband and I will celebrate together.<br /><br />Since our work would not allow us to attend the traditional dawn mass, my husband and I attended the anticipated mass last night. I was happy to see that a lot of people still observe this tradition. All of the pews and the extra chairs were filled up. It was heart warming.<br /><br />I know that there are some who would like to complete the nine-day novena masses because of their special intentions. Whatever those intentions may be, I am one in praying with them. We all know how difficult life is today. And for others, life is made even more difficult because of the trials that they have to go through.<br /><br />When our pockets would not allow us to extend the help that we are more than willing to give, the best that we could offer is our prayers. Let us make our lives meaningful by trying to help others in our own little ways.newbiewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126111303505715551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503488652315379439.post-30612617132312803312008-12-14T19:05:00.001-08:002008-12-14T19:05:53.632-08:00Sen. Mar Roxas - No ApologiesIn the news this morning, I was able to catch Sen. Mar Roxas say that no apology- a public one at that- can be expected from him.<br /><br />As you may know, this issue came from last Friday’s Anti- Charter Change rally where Roxas was said to have uttered not-so-good words. To him, the utterance was a mere expression of how the Filipino people truly feel about the Charter Change thing. Kudos to him for speaking for the Filipino people. I am just hoping against hope that the same was not merely for the pogi points that this could earn him for the Presidential race come 2010.newbiewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126111303505715551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503488652315379439.post-78101684331721193832008-12-11T19:37:00.000-08:002008-12-11T19:47:15.994-08:00Rainy DecemberFor us who have not experienced snow, the rainy days of December would at least give us the chilly Christmas feel wihtout having to go to the places offering a few minutes of falling artificial snow.<br /><br />On our way to work today, I realized that the rally against Charter Change is scheduled to be staged today. I just hope the weather would cooperate with the participants.<br /><br />Oh, by the way, have you done your Christmas shopping already? I hope you could suggest the best places where I could find really nice yet affordable stuff.newbiewifehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08126111303505715551noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6503488652315379439.post-13587286307437481952008-12-10T16:36:00.000-08:002008-12-10T16:40:20.597-08:00Now A WifeI guess the blog title says it all.<br /><br />After almost 30 years of singlehood, I am now a wife.
