A Happy Mom-to-be

Now, I am in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy, the happiest and healthiest period for expectant mothers, the old wisdom and the medical proof said.

God blessed that I did not suffer from serious sickness and discomfort even in the first trimester. And since the end of third month, I started to feel I am glowing and more cheerful, this is big a surprise for me, because I have not thought about that pregnancy brought me happiness.

My weight gain is in steady progress, I had not experienced serious bloating so far, and I am very energetic and can spend time to have regular exercise. In addition that I do not have to care heavy workload now, I can enjoy a more balance life, which I deserve to have, not even only during my pregnancy.

I should thank to my little baby that it gives me such a positive energy. I look forward to the new mission ahead. Also thank to Jeff that he is a sweetest husband and he shares most of the housework and talks to me when I feel miserable and weepiness. You two give me courage!!

BTW, little baby, are you a boy or a girl? We could not tell in the last check up, because you were in the sitting position, but don't know why, I have a gut feel that you are a boy?

Music for my baby

Since I know I'm pregnant, I listen to music every night before bed. Lots of research proved that classical music - especially Mozart can help baby's brain development during the pregnancy, but I think it is also great to let my baby to experience other types, you know, there are lot of amazing things in this planet, why should we limit ourselves?

Music I listen every night include classical, Jazz, musical (such as The sound of music and Mamma Mia), ABBA, Beatles and recently Christmas songs. I believe my baby also love them all!!

A bigger belly, lesser productive?

Oh gee, I am getting a bigger belly, it is more obvious after the first trimester. The mixture of frightening and expectating feeling comes back to me.

Today I left office around 7:20pm, I felt a bit weird when all colleague around me were still working hard. I know that the value of a staff is not merely calculated by the length of time he/she devotes to the job, but the efficiency, loyalty and dedication the one shows, however, I just worry how do my bosses perceive me, will they think I am a less productive staff?

I know I should be a positive thinker, especially during my maternity... but I need more time to adjust my way of thinking...

Oh God, give me a direction!

Battlefield by Sogo

Sogo is having a big sale and we girls gathered at Samantha's cubicle to read those price cut leaftlets, the items look so attractive especially for those skin care products. However, my colleague suggested me not to go, there is not a safe place of pregnant woman. It is because there will be packed with fierce women, who look so elegant always will become bitches and strive for all sale items, they will push away everyone in front of them and fight for everything there.... Sounds so horrible!!

Matrix is GREAT

Matrix ! I like this movie so much! But this time I will be (one of ) the director , editor , producer evening an actor in this movie.
Yes , I will be one of the editors of this blog, give a view other than the "Matrix" for this live film.
In the film , matrix is everything . It is same as a mother's body for a baby. The main differene is no one designs this "Matrix" and this "Matrix" is evolved form another "Matrix" .
About thevmind problem, it's really a very difficult question, something , you may feel a cat even an ant have mind , but sometime you meet some people who don't have mind ......

I am no longer walking alone, literally!

Because nowv I am carrying a baby beneath my tummy. It's already a 3-months unborn little life. Frankly speaking, I only started to have emotional attachment to it when I saw its outlook in the ultrasound pictures last Friday. It's growing to be a human form little creature, with big head, small body and slender limbs, and most organs.

Does it have soul? How can we identify whether an unborn baby has mind? And how about fetus? Fetus is just a bit complicated than a cell, could it think? I am not sure.

This is a really complicated philosophical questions.

What's Manki's Matrix?

Manki's Matrix doesn't relate to A.I., computer science, maths, chemical model, Zion or Mr. Anderson. It means my pregnant body. Yes, suddenly I become a mother-to-be. Frankly, it is a bit shocking for me in the very initial stage, but should be a great news, isn't it? I am experiencing the beautiful natural event under my skin!

Therefore, Manki's Matrix is formed. My body now is plugging a little baby, it drains my energy and nutrients aggressively, it is so raw, so uncivilized, and so amazing!
