Biggest Fanatic

It was year 2001 when Nicolodeon first aired spongebob squarepants. Yes, spongebob just turned ten years older last year. And it was that year also when I Became interested to watch the cartoon. I like the idea of every episode because for me its not a typical cartoon. Every character is unique. Especially spongebob and his pineapple house. Imagine a pineapple under the sea?
I have already watched it a hundred times already. I have spongebob collectibles that my husband bought. He bought all of my collectibles because he knows how much I love spongebob. He also loves to watch it. Actually, we both love to watch it. He downloaded all the complete episodes of spongebob and even bought the CD's. Its my all time favorite cartoon and Im still waiting for a new episode this year.
And one more thing, I wish I have all of these...

Grrr...

My eyes just turned green when I saw this...

This would definitely light up my day...

I know I'm not a fan of sneakers except for this one... I would love to wear this everywhere.

C to the O Z Y...

I'm green with envy again... (huhuhu)


If I were made to choose for a diamond ring and this one, it would be foolish not to choose this... I'm dying to have this!

DJ's first pool experience

At just 8 months old, DJ was actually in the pool with his tata's help. This was his first time to be in a pool and he hated it. DJ cried so hard that his voice echoed. We understand because it was his first time. I felt sorry for my baby letting him swim just at his age.
We parents would like to see our son just having fun with the waters especially that the water was refreshing. My husband and I had a great time although DJ cried very hard. We thought that he would enjoy it because he loves water so much.
I think that swimming is a good exercise especially for babies. It will allow them to build self-confidence, personal development, as well as happy and well adjusted children. That's what I want DJ to be when he grow up.
We all want the best for our babies. That's why we find ways for their development. Raising them is every parents job as well as growing up and its never that easy.
Mu husbands was so surprised that he felt sorry for his son. He immediately wrapped DJ with a towel and embraced him while we hid back to the house.
DJ was so shocked that he never murmur or made any sound that time. His lips turned purple as well as his feet. I embraced him once more just to give him my warmth while his tata was preparing a lukewarm water for his son. We immediately bathe DJ fast, so fast that ny husband didn't care to give me my towel. We were so worried at that time. Worried that DJ will hate the pool forever. It was a very heartbreaking seeing my son to that pool. He really did't enjoyed it while I was.
When I got back to our room, I was relieved to see DJ playing with his tata already.
Seeing him cried that much makes me feel that i'm a bad influence to him. I never want to see DJ to that pool again that is if he changes his mind I will not hesitate. Early swimming for babies will help them become independent and thats what I want for DJ.

How thoughful

Valentines day is one of the most romantic day of the year. It is the time where we embrace our loved ones and telling them how special they are to us. Valentines day is truly exceptional for those who are in love. This is the time for rejoicing love and romance. You can feel the romance in the atmosphere. My valentine was so thoughtful and sweet. My husband always full of surprises that by the time I woke up he greeted me with a smile and kissed me on the lips.
When we got home from an exhausting trip, my husband said to rest for awhile because he wants to take me to dinner somewhere else. And so I did, I rested and took a bath after wards. My husband took me to a mall and there we walked and walked until we decided our luck in lotto. Its just a stupid idea that we come out with. We never know maybe we will hit the jackpot but we didn't. Gambling is really not our thing.
My stomach is growling that we decided to eat. We went to this famous lechon house in Cagayan de oro City where we ate and just enjoying our moments together. We were still exhausted from the trip at that time. My feet really hurts and my eyes was just so itchy and I wanted to sleep already and so was he.
The last thing he did was he surprised me with different kinds of chocolates. He picked out my all time favorite chocolates each of every kind. Although he's tired he still has an effort to stand beside me and accompany me to the very end. That's the thing about my husband he never wants to disappoint me that's why he is doing his very best to make me happy.
Although Valentine's day happens year-round and not just wedding anniversaries and birthdays enjoying this day with one another is just a good thing for relationships.

Weekend birthday getaway

Im so excited for tomorrows trip. We're actually celebrating my husband's birthday this coming February 13. He is officially old now...haha! We both need a break and just want to run away from the City's traffic, need to have a long ride and just enjoy the very refreshing waters. Its few of the things more invigorating than exploring to another country.
We both deserve a change of scene especially me, a full time mom. A weekend getaway can breathe life into the dark side of the year and leave us with enough sunshine and happiness to ward off stress for another 2 days. Just escaping with your loved one to enjoy a very relaxing place.
It's DJ's second visit there. He visited the place 5 months ago, when he was just 3 months old. He actually love the place because its cold and he kept on sleeping while we were there. We plan on teaching him how to swim.
Im too excited that I actually packed up the things we need last night. I was too darn excited about this trip. And I already miss the cold nights there. It is so cold that event hough the sun is up we are still wearing our jackets. I love the place especially the food because everything is fresh from vegetables to meat. I dont have any gifts for him. I will just greet him a happy birthday and give him a night to remember, if you know what I mean...haha!
This is going to be an exciting trip for the three of us. Well, see you on Monday readers and you all have a great day ahead. Enjoy the city's cold nights and traffic...

Flattered

Its just a wonderful feeling whenever your son is praised by other people. And I am that mother. Late last night, I uploaded some of DJ's pictures thru my Facebook account.
Its been a month since I haven't uploaded his pictures. Right after all the pictures have been uploaded, there has been a lot of notifications popping out.
I was so surprised to find out that theres a lot of people who actually likes my adorable son. There's a lot of likes and comments. Comments that really flattered me. But there was this one person who flattered me the most. He is actually one of my friends in Facebook. He grabbed some of DJ's pictures and turned it as his profile picture.
I was amazed because he really adores my son so much. He keeps telling me how cute and handsome DJ is. And not only him, a lot of people actually adores DJ that they thought it would be best for DJ to be a model someday. I laughed hilariously at that moment. He brings a lot of joy to those people around him, including us.

Burn victim

Just this night while I was cooking dinner for my whole family, I asked my mom to take care of DJ while I was cooking in the kitchen downstairs. I lit up a mosquito repellent so that DJ wont be bitten by a mosquito while he was asleep.
Suddenly I heard a very loud cry of DJ that I ran immediately upstairs to our room to check what it was about. Until I saw DJ crying with a very painful cry and the wound in between his fingers. DJ was burnt by the repellent I lit up for him. I was so stupid that I forgot to tell my mom about the repellent. I was crying and felt very bad about what happened. My mom and dad took care of the wound. There was no one to be blame but me I think. I was not too cautious about his situation whether its safe or not. I thought that it would be okay cause my mom was there. How can I be so stupid that I even forgot DJ's situation. Until now, whenever I see his wound it reminded me how stupid I had become.
To my dearest DJ, I am terribly sorry for what happened. I didn't mean for it to happened. If only you can read what is on my mind you will know how sorry I am. Please forgive me...I love you!

The notebook

Not so long ago, I found a letter that shocked me. I was shocked to find out that the letter was
was written on my husband's notebook. It was oh so secret that was actually written at the
last page of his notebook. I didn't asked him what it was about. I just pretended like it was
not there.

This is what it says:


I never thought he has such thoughts. This is not the first time he has written me a letter.
He has written me a bunch of letters before but this shocked me. I never thought that
I was that kind of girlfriend to him. He was so silent about it. The thought of it just
makes me feel sorry. He was so good to me, so sincere and so loving. He is not the man
who is verbal about this sorts of things. Right until now I kept the letter and didn't bother to
tell him. Why would I? It was kinda sweet and sincere. If you were to find a letter like this. What
would be your reaction?

Sigh...

A happy toe

It was late last year when I was suffering from the horrible ingrown toenail infection. It was dreadfully painful. I almost cried whenever it was bumped into a wall or whenever it was accidentally stepped on. I didn't trimmed my toenail because I was afraid it might get infected. And trimming it would be such a pain on the butt.
After watching a movie last night with my husband, I decided not to prolong the agony I was experiencing. I got me a nail cutter and a cuticle remover which helped me a lot. Actually it was a lifesaver because as I was trimming my toenail I didn't experienced any pain at all.
Actually, my husband was the one who advised me to use a cuticle remover before trimming off my toenail. I was relieved and very happy although there was blood in the entire nail.
As crazy as it sounds, but I kept the nail inside my jewelry box as a souvenir that I was brave enough to trim the infected toenail and didn't need a doctor to settle for a surgery.

8 happy months

Happy 8th monthsary birthday to my one and only angel, DJ. DJ is turning 8 months today. Hugs and kisses are two of the things we gave him. Aside from the delicious grilled chicken my husband bought.
He is all grown-up and we parents even his grandparents are so proud of him. My mom was the first who greeted DJ a happy birthday. Not that we forgot but we were just too exhausted from last night. Aside from the fact that we werent able to finish the movie last night, DJ just wouldnt sleep again. Yes, he is just a trouble sleeper i guess.
This is just the first day of another 365-day journey around the sun and I hope you will enjoy every trip. We wish you a whole lot of happiness and full of exciting surprises to come. Happy 8th monthsary birthday to you my son and we will be looking forward for your first ever birthday this year.
We love you...!

Negative can be positive sometimes

Early this morning we went to the hospital to get the result of Dj's medical findings. I was scared a bit of the result. I took a bath early and so was DJ. When I think of the result it leave me a short of breath. My heart keeps on pounding like it was going to explode. I whisper to GOD that the result would be negative. Its not that easy to deal with this kind of problem especially if DJ's involved.

My husband took a sample of DJ's stool the other day and rushed immediately to the laboratory because it has a time limit of 30mins. And so there was, we waited for two hours for the result. And decided to get the result early this morning. As we enter into the hospital, I realized that every bed is like a parked taxi with the meter running. That is no place to be sick.

As I enter the laboratory, the lady gave me the result. It was a blue folded paper. I Unfolded the blue paper and read each word at a time. I was happy by the word "NEGATIVE" for the first time in my life. Sometimes in our lives we need to appreciate that word because its not so bad after all. Negative can be positive sometimes.

I was relieved and happy with the result. Dj is negative with amoebiasis after all. I was a mom floating with joy and happiness. So there I was, smiling like there was no tomorrow. The word "NEGATIVE" really made my day.

Biggest Fanatic

Laughter the best medicine

It was a lazy afternoon when me and Dj had nothing to do...and so I played with him. He laughed so hard that I took some of his pictures. It was fun being with him. Its a big thrill when I hear him laugh. His laugh sure made my day complete.

Every positive reactions to his cute peals of laughter will let him know that he is truly making a joyful noise. Every time Im making funny faces, he will just laugh at me the whole time. His all time favorite game is "peekaboo",where I disappear and reappear (by surprise).

Just set aside all your inhibitions and play with him. Think of any games that your baby will like to play. This will definitely brighten up both your days. When your baby starts giggling you cant resist giggling with him too. There's nothing makes parents smile than the sound of their baby's laugh.

All smiles! Everyone loves to see a baby's laughter.

Dj and his stomach

We just got back from the doctor this afternoon to thoroughly examine Dj's condition. It has been 3 days since he vomited and had a terrible diarrhea. We didn't know what are the causes of his condition until his doctor said that it might be from the things that he put in his mouth recently. Dj just got his first teeth and has been putting things in his mouth and start rubbing it in his teeth.

The doctor prescribed medicine to help support Dj's condition. She said to examine Dj's stool to know if its amoebiasis. Antibiotics has not been prescribed yet until further result of his stool. We've been wandering from one pharmacy to another to find the said prescribed medicine. Unfortunately, we didnt get the chance to find his vitamins. But the two of the most important medicine were bought.

We need to go to the laboratory tomorrow to thoroughly examine his stool if its the case of amoebiasis. And I hope not. I hope that he will be better soon. As a mother, seeing your baby suffer from this condition is truly heartbreaking.

You will be better Dj, nana, tata, mamala, and papalo are here for you no matter what. And most especially Papa Jesus.

Truth about online gaming addiction

Online games these days are abundant. It has becoming an addiction among innocent young people. And not only young ones even adults. The problem is not restricted to young people and we all know that also parents are hooked on these things.

I want to share this article because I myself have a loving husband who happens to love or became hooked to online gaming. Yes, he is 27 years old and loves to play online games. I have tried it a couple of times but was bored except for farmville and farmtown...I know and I admit Im also an addict but in a good farmer way. At least from those games Ill be able to know how to plant crops and raise animals by myself. Am I being defensive already? Haha...

I dont know why but I just dont like games that my husband play. Actually, its a riot game. A kind of game in which network of players interact with each other to achieve goals and missions. Its a game where there is fighting and killing. That is why they called it a riot game. They even purchase some items online for their characters. Thats how people play this game. Buying items for their characters or for their champions. They even use ventrilo device in order for them to talk freely to each other similar to a telephone or a conference call.

My husband loves to play this kind of game because according to him its his stress reliever and I allow him from playing because its his outlet from the occasional bad day from work. But despite all these, he knows when to stop and doesnt neglects household chores. Even when tired from work he plays too much without getting enough rest. This is another sign of addiction that I noticed from my husband.

While sometimes losing a battle can even result from anger or even worst depression. I thank him for not neglecting his family and even his 7month old baby. He even takes care of DJ while playing. Multitasking while playing. Kissing me on a victorious battle is one way that he feels good about the fulfillment he made. And sometimes angry or feels depress when someone killed his champion. Haha...sorry bhe!

His online gaming status, "left hand baby - right hand mouse". So, is this enough proof that he is indeed one of the online gaming addicts? Haha...Just laughing it out!

The problem of these online gamers is they intend to neglect more of their important tasks such as work and other social activities. So, does this really mean that online gaming addiction is as much the same as substance addiction? I hope not. Studies shows more than 20 suicides from online gaming and also can lead to psychological disorders.

I have nothing against online gaming. I just want people to know that they have other important priorities other than this. They should set aside quality time for their families and only use their spare time on not so important activities such as this.

A Kind hearted Leo

Hollywood actor Leonardo Dicaprio just donated $1M to help those in need victims in Haiti. Who ever thought that an actor like him could do such a thing. I salute him for doing such generosity. He is such a good example to the Americans of helping those in need.

Other celebrities made their donations already. Leo was just the one of them. Celebrities like Jennifer Lopez, Sean puffy combs, Sandra Bullock also donated $1M as what Ive heard in the news. And even Leo's ex-girlfriend Giselle Bundchen also donated $1.5M

We still know that we are in good hands because of these people. They are God's way of taking care of us. They are angels in disguise. We shouldn't be worry if something happens to us because we all know there is one person who will be there for us and I know that God wont neglect us in times like this.

Me and myself

I always thought of straightening my hair but got no guts of doing it. Not to brag but I like the compliments Im getting with my curly hair. They always ask me if its natural and it is. My mama is curly and so is my papa.

Unfortunately, my mama tried to straightened my hair when I was a little kid but she wasn't that successful. Well, she was successful at first and loves the way I look. Until after a week it went back from straight to curly again. She paid a lot for that treatment and even chose the perfect salon just for me.

We cant have everything right? Nobody's perfect. We have to accept who we are and what we are made of. We have to thank God for everything he has given to us and even appreciates it even more. So, if you have something that others don't have just be thankful cause He made each and every individuals unique. Just like you and me.

Ive made some comparison on which one will look better. The curly or the straight one? You decide...

Sooo Spongy

My all time favorite cartoon character...hehe

A Sore toe

Its been a month now and its still swollen. Every time my toe will bump on to something it really hurts. I cant bare the pain and that's when I shouted. It is quite swollen on the inner side of the nail. Its like there's an infected-looking tissue that appeared to be growing from the inside.

I think I better take some antibiotics. I don't want to settle down with surgery. Its getting worst everyday. And its all so painful from the inside. I don't know if its an ingrown toenail or something else. The two big toes are very much different in size because my right toenail is bigger than my left toenail. So, I painted my nails with some red nail polish just to hide my big infected toenail.

As what Ive heard ingrown toenails are very common and might settle down without surgery. They suggested to take antibiotics and bathe the ingrown toenail in a lukewarm salty water. I will definitely try that one first to see if it really works. I have waited for months for this toenail to heal.

Thank god Im not wearing closed shoes cause if I do I would end up walking like a cripple.

Lazy morning

I feel sick today and got me a terrible tonsillitis. It was horrible. I cant speak very well and I feel very lazy and wanted to sleep the whole day, but I cant because I have a lot of chores to do. So, I rushed to find some medicine to relieve the pain Im into. And only to find out that my husband already bathed DJ downstairs. That is how thoughtful my husband is. I just love him for taking care of us.

I was exhausted yesterday and wasn't able to sleep very well. I have no idea why I got it until my husband said it was all because of carrying DJ the whole day. DJ just wouldn't sleep, so I have to carry him to let him sleep. DJ cried 3 times the whole night when we were asleep. We have no idea why until my husband woke up and let him sleep again.

I just hope and pray that he will sleep soundly tonight and the rest of the nights. It was a sleepless night for both me and my husband.

ABC's

I always wanted a nursery room for Dj. To let him be aware and familiar with ABC's and all educational stuff for babies. That's why I drew and cut some ABC's and pasted it on the wall. I want him to be familiar with the letters and numbers already at his age. I even bought a coloring book and prepared some pencils and crayons in case if hes interested already.
Eventhough my handwritings are bad, I hope he wont noticed until he grows up. I want him to be familiarized with those things already now that I know hes a bright and smart kid. I just know, I have no negative thoughts of him. Its always a positive attitude towards him. I even downloaded educational songs for him and always playing it every morning.
I also sung him ABC songs everytime I carry him. So, now I just made a nursery room for him. Just a pen and paper and its all so worth it.

Raining cats and dogs

Summer is near approaching but the rain is just terrible here. Its like summer has ended already. Come to think of it, typhoon Ondoy has just ended and now here comes another one. What happened to the sunny Cagayan de oro? Why is always raining here? Is there a typhoon we should be aware about? I hope not. I hope papa Jesus is not punishing us. Thats what I always think whenever there is a catastrophe happening. But I never lose hope.
Like what happened to Manila last year. Some areas were affected by the irremediable calamity. I think I better watch news as of now. I already missed a lot these days.

DJ's Monthly check-up

We went to our baby's monthly check-up yesterday and it went really well. Dj had his second shot, a hib shot for hepatitis. Dj didn't cried at all, he just shouted. Thats how brave my son is. He is healthy and fit according to his doctor. My husband keeps on taking pictures but the doctor didnt mind at all.

Whenever its time for check-up's I always have my list on what to ask his doctor. Like what vitamins the doctor will recommend and what vaccinations will be given. Thats how meticulous I am when it comes to my baby. I always want the best for him.

The doctor was amazed of Dj's developments. She said to take pictures on his developmantal milestones and I always have. Now, I know why mothers are so proud of their babies. And I am that mother. Its all so worth it to have a monthly check-up. Not only doctors monitor your baby's progress but also allows opportunities to have your questions and concerns addressed.

Big toy

We just bought a new walker for DJ the other day to help him develop more of his walking skills. He just loves moving around and never gets tired. The baby walker was just a lifesaver for me because now that I will no longer be afraid whenever he is playing and wander around the house.. I wont be afraid getting his head bump on the wall or even worst on the floor.

Now that he has a baby walker, he will improve his walking skills and will also strengthen his leg muscle which is important for all babies. Now every time Im doing chores, he keeps following me and just stares at what Im doing the whole time. Its like hes wondering what I am doing. He is curious in all sorts of things.

We bought a multipurpose baby walker. It will play different kinds of music every time you press every button. Music like twinkle little star, bingo and those educational music for babies.It also has a stopper which can also be a high chair for babies every time its feeding time.
We were very meticulous on what baby walker we wanted. We wanted a baby walker that is multipurpose and not just a play thing.

The baby walker is just what we always wanted. It has different kinds of colors for baby boys. We chose a baby walker that has his favorite colors like red and blue. We also bought letter stickers so that we can put his name on his walker. It is always happy days with my baby. Now that he has a big toy, I will no longer worry about his situation always.
