healing process: HOW TO TAKE CARE OF YOUR TAT!

right after the tat... we're expecting them to bandage it... but... they just put tons of petroleum jelly on it and said its better that it's left uncovered since the wound is still fresh and the bandage will only stick to the wound, which will make it painful to remove later on...but since we got a dinner date later on that night with my gay friends.... what we did was....

1. we bought sterile gauze and bandaged it ourselves...

2. we avoided too much movement (sucks!!!!) stiffy adam and grace!

too much movement will stretch the tat and may change the looks of the tat when it's healed

3. we lubed it!!! no matter what, just lube it!!! petroleum jelly works wonders!

before and after shower! just lube it!!!

4. avoid getting it wet for the first few weeks... as much as possible!

greasy tattoo area it was! so careful when taking shower.. very funny :))

5. avoid laying on the tat area when sleeping...

me and my baby miss sleeping on our back so much, the funny thing about that is no matter how hard we try to avoid laying on our backs, sometimes we just catch ourselves awake in the middle of the night laying on our backs! (we're both guilty of charge !!) hehe

6. bandage it when going out so as not to scratch the ink from the tat!

our next tat plans... him my name and me a cute little sexy fairy...

we're looking forward to that!!!!!

a short warning!!!

it can get sooooooo addictive!!!

choose the best place you want your tat coz removal is a pain in the butt and in the wallet!!!

no pain no gain!!! its an art!! and i love both of our tattoos!!

meeting the family...

if there's an odd way of meeting the family, i guess thats what we did!! the typical Filipino style is doing the "pamamanhikan" (asking for the hand in marriage)... but that is a very long complicated process for us... so let's do the speedy route! yupyup... he never met my family until the day after we got married... well, a few cousins was introduced during the wedding day, but most of the family met him the next day..

what are their reactions???? hmmmm...any guess??? the fact that i didnt introduced him before getting married and all...(but they know beforehand that im engaged to be married!) whats the normal reactions of parents??? you can never really please anyone.... some may support you for your decision and be happy for you and wish you the best of luck! some just put their worst grin and say the things that we dont wanna hear (well at least not infront of us, geeez)... and i say back, hmmmmm im in the right age, remember?? and who is going to get married? and oh yeah, i wont decide to get married if its not what i wanted ayyyt???? geeeeeez, c'mon folks! just smile and say.... "COngratulations!" anyways, when im happy, you are happy right? hahaha... so??

but im still lucky to have supportive family members.... and majority of them supported me... well cant blame the haters, but they say what they gotta say and i aint care... LOL!!!

meeting the family isnt as fun... but at least we survived! they prepared a lil something for us, which is very thoughtful even if we know that theyre in a tight budget too...but still... we insisted that they dont.... but you know how Filipino families are... yes we will kill the year raised pig no matter what!!!!! hahahaha... how i wish ive taken more pics...

some of the inuman (drinking session) with the cooks and the guys are in 35mm camera... too bad wasnt able to scan them, just picture my baby seated among the guys joining the drinking spree. :)) was worried he'd get drunk, good my baby was practiced by the army! hahaha,,
