Well who would I be if I didnt post a blog until 2 months later? At least I somewhat keep up a written journal.... somewhat.
What has taken over the time of the one of the bored housewives of Yokosuka Japan in the last 2 months?
Found out the sex of the baby! We're having a little baby Mark! We are both so very excited , well I think everyone is excited. Plus as we know EV and Justin are having a cutie little girl. So that means the grandparents get a boy and a girl in the same month! Only 7 more weeks for baby Mark to show up. The ultrasound went well , Mark was able to get off work and be there. It was a very exciting and somewhat emotional time. Mark had not been able to be at any other appointments so having him there to actually see that baby was a big deal to me. Watching baby Mark move around was sooooo cute , even though we had a hard time trying to see the sex of the baby and the little Japanese man that was doing the ultrasound kept screaming at the monitor " SHOW ME YOUR CROTCH!! SHOW ME YOUR CROTCH!!" . I dont know how we didnt end up rolling on the floor laughing. I also believe baby Mark looks just like big Mark. At one point during the ultrasound he pressed his face up agaisnt where the scanner was placed on my belly and I could see his perfect little lips and his nostrils and right away I was like " oh man , those look just like Marks nostrils! " , plus another photo showed the baby has a pointy little nose ( just like Mark ).
Speaking of babies ... I had a dream last night that I could hold baby Marks hand .... like he could stick his hand so far and hard through my skin that I could hold it. Big Mark was in the dream and didnt want to hold his hand because he thought it was gross, and it did seem like a little freaky. Then I ended up giving birth to twins! But when they came out they were poodles! Little black poodles. I thought it was cute at first and then ended up crying to Mark that I wanted a human baby not poodles! Weird huh ? Its normal though , I read that pregnant women dream of giving birth to puppies. It was an intense dream.
Alright... after finding out the sex of the baby , 3 days later we were on our way to Borneo , Indon
esia! We had an awesome time of experiencing a new culture and the beauty of Borneo. My personal favorite thing about the trip was the heat! Nena and Mark took us everywhere. We even got to stay at a Orangutang sanctuary. Where we were able to walk around and look at the orangutangs and also play with a baby sun bear! The baby bears name is Hayden and is the cutest little thing... I think Mark was scared of him though. Even though Big Mark ( Marks dad ) was slinging that little bear around like he was a PaPa bear!
Mark took part in his first "hash" , which is a bunch of crazy men running through the jungle then getting completely hammered and singing songs to each other. Mark had a GREAT time as he continually let us know on the ride home, lets say the whole night wasnt that great for him.



















Did I forget to mention that after your first hash it is customary to pay homage to the porcelain God bare ass naked and crawl back to your bed. MARK DID THIS LIKE THE POPE GOING THROUGH THE ROSARY. You would have never known it was his first hash.

Needless to say Mark woke up with a "mild" headache after a "short nap". But to get up and going out of the house we decided to walk the beach. The tide was out and the crazy fisherman patrolling the beach had been long gone. Of course where one problem ended another began and Mark after going through his manhood initiation felt invincible...even to the sun's rays. Well he looked cute on the beach. See?






Needless to say living in Japan has taken away our lucious tans...LIKE CHEMOTHERAPY. So we got a little singed. It was like an albino walking on the sun. Hopefully the baby takes after Mark otherwise we are going to have Fruit Of the Loom Children...one red, one purple, and if they run a hash, one green.

So we went shopping...A LOT. I love alllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll my new purses. I bought as many purses as there are ll's in alllllllllllllllllllllllllll. Of course it didn't come close to Mark and his PS2 games. You would have thought he was a Vietnamese picking rice grains from the patties.

Alright so we did alot of shopping, both suffered from food poisoning, played with a sun bear, stayed in a hotel overlooking the orangutang sanctuary ,went to really cool hotels to eat, hung out with his parents which are super cool, dealed with obese Hunter and Wahala ( parents cats) , Mark ran his race, worked out, went swimming...... So sounds like we did alot only being in Borneo , yes ? Well the adventure doesnt end as we leave Borneo to go to Singapore. Only a 2 and half hour plane flight away and it goes from third world country to Multimillion megatropolis! Major difference from the 2 countrys.




Always heard of Singapore and never knew what it was? Its a major theme park. I swear that is what it seemed like to me. The cleanest biggest city I have ever seen. So pretty , everywhere we went was beautiful. Plus Ive never seen such a collection of different people from all over the world.



Stayed at The Regent , right in downtown. Went to the Merlion, Night Safari, Botanical Gardens , Songs of the Sea lightshow, Hard Rock Cafe, Chinatown , Bird Park ... Lets just say Marks parents know how to go all out and do something big. They definitly have the term " Go big or go home " tattooed to their bums. I bet they do , theyre freaky like that.

Merlion ... Some really huge statue that you can take to the top and take pictures out of the mouth, the view looks all over singapore. It was awesome , it was bit of a rainy day but we were still able to see everything. Also take note if you ever visit the Merlion , there are little camera men waiting everywhere and take your picture so that you can buy it from them, they are all over Singapore. Outside the Merlion was some fountain thingy... Mark became somewhat of a celebrity with the Indian men because he kept having his mother take obscene photos of himself atop the fountain.


First night in Singapore we did ( and yes,Im all over the place here) the night safari. Tons of fun . It consisted of alot of shows being performed then we were able to walk around and into different cages to get up close with the animals .


Now that I go through the pictures..... We did ALOT, good gracious.... Take a look at the pictures and piece together the rest of our vacation, because I still havent gone over what we did in Japan. Ya know what? This will be a two part blog.
