Heeelllppp! Look A! Help me please!!! Okay, I heard the indication that my day has already started. It will then be the role of referee to the kids again and it would mean two things either : A did something inappropriate again OR they didn’t arrive on common interest. Kids are kids but no matter how I make them stop, they always have their way of becoming friends again after the fight. I find them sometimes hugging each other OR the little girl would pat D on the head/back OR she would give D a toy car which symbolizes as peace offering. But there are times that when A is not in good mood and she would ignore her brother when the latter wants to make peace. He would say, “Mama, A don’t love D anymore.” How cute isn’t it? Of course it would mean serious talk with these babies even though I’m not sure if the words really sink in to them I still do it anyway. Then few minutes I would find them playing with matching gibberish conversation (from A) and lots of amusement. 

Being a parent for more than three years has given me unexpected challenges as well as surprises which comes in different packages. It’s true that parenting is bittersweet unlike of what most people say that it’s ecstatic despite the hard look on their faces. I should also say, the ways on how to deal with your children is limitless since they are different individuals who are trying to discover and adjust themselves in their environment. I enjoy being a parent no matter how tiring it is and despite the nerve wrecking moments of discipline. It has always been a challenge to most of us moms since we try different approaches to our kids with a goal for them to become better individuals someday. But sometimes no matter how you do it there are instances that are way beyond control, which is affected by different factors. It wouldn’t be most of the time that we have happy moments, most of it would be hours of raising your voices (but trying not to), repetitive reminders to your kids or the ...

Last month we were able to visit the Kid’s Craze Warehouse Sale for three times in two consecutive weeks. The best part of the visit happened during the last day of their sale. Ever wonder why? Read on. The main purpose why we went there was to simply buy holiday gifts for the kids. I know it won’t be a surprise for them anymore because we have to tag them along due to our yayaless situation. On a second thought, we just make them choose the gift they want. As expected, the room is packed with people from all sorts. They sell items for kids from apparels, shoes and toys. I must say they really have marked down prizes for their items. But because it’s a warehouse sale, some toy boxes are already dented. As we go around, I saw in one corner the Robosapien V2  J has been fancying for years now. Then the boys were glued already and they were both ambivalent as to get the toy or not considering the condition of the box. The toy was originally priced P15000 the last time we saw it at Toy...

This year, I would like to do more writing and update this blog as often as possible. After all, the very reason why I started this is to document my kids’ activities and also to share something worthwhile to all of you. The past year, my blog was all about PR’s and events (which I am thankful for), but I would like to have a more personal touch this time. So, I am starting my own series, which will tackle my daily ponderings. This day started with one question. How? My answer, I have no idea. When we were having breakfast in the morning, my little girl, both hands occupied with cream loaf on her right hand and sandwich on her left hand, while my son is enjoying his overrated breakfast--sandwich, they asked me to sing a nursery rhyme. At first, it was Twinkle Little Star then, Old McDonald then the little boy told me to finally sing Three Little Ducks. Holy moly, I honestly don’t know that song! I saw frustration from my boy’s face but instead I told him, “Why don’t you sing for mama?”...

I am lost. I have been meaning to write my thoughts down but the chaotic environment makes me just want to sit down relax and enjoy the kids. Everyday has been a crazy day and most of the time it will just be me and my little girl. Recently she has become clingier and cries most f the time when she lost site of me! What happens is I carry her most of the time and tag her wherever I go even meditation time! I leave you the picture of it. source source source source We also have a big project for the year as our goal is to make the house feel like home. Not that we don’t feel cozy here but we want to add more furniture. Last year was settling down because we just moved from a smaller unit to a bigger one. Plus we gave the kids the freedom to play whatever part of the house they like. Since they are already growing up and probably sending them to school already, we plan to set up the living room and replace our dining table with a decent one and get a decent bed as well. I know it needs a...

When I am not busy or should I say, when it is my me-time I would play online games. In this game, I would get acquainted to all sorts of individuals all over the world. And there, I came across a very strong-willed parent who has an ailing child. I admire their strength for having to go through all the pain but yet they remained strong and love their children even more. Curtis, has a little boy named Curtis Lee who was born with short bowel syndrome. When he was an infant, he underwent several surgeries already. Now, they are praying so hard to get the help that they could. With having to go through all the surgeries and treatments is emotionally and financially draining that’s why they are seeking help through donations/pledges through their website. They would appreciate a small help from you as well as prayers for their little boy. I know there are kindhearted individuals out there who are willing to donate and help spread the word. A little help means a lot to them. With your kind...
