Slum Baby Part 2: More Box Stories

Remember Slum Baby? Yes, it's that LPD (little pinoy devil) who has an attachment to boxes. Guess what? He strikes again! A neighbor went to our house asking if we have some of those huge Balikbayan boxes (people from other countries call them moving boxes) because some other neighbors told them ...

SALE! The Mommy Magnet

Friday, May 30th, 2008

Ok, we just got home from the mall and the whole place is teeming with moms! I half-expected the bookstores to be full with the arrival of the new school year, and sure enough the books were on aisle showcases, raincoats are on various maniquins, even the umbrellas were strewn ...

Baby Brands

Thursday, May 29th, 2008

Moms are funny. Last week I had a chance to go to the mall for some alone time, and because I am a mom, I immediately went to the baby section. I see some brand names have gone on sale and moms are all over the counters. Not just clothes, ...

Slum Baby

Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Baby tastes vary as they grow up. I realize that their needs for mental stimulation get tougher and tougher as they grow. You know what elese? Their television show choices also vary. Let me describe a typical AJ day. He wakes up, goes around the house, going through most 'toy' boxes ...

I Wanna Diet!

Monday, May 19th, 2008

Before I start my official 'i wanna diet' rant. I just want people to know that I have never been thin and that I don't think I ever will be. Dieting is for me to lose some of the baggage that I collected during pregnancy. They are still here, haunting ...

The Philippines is Sooo Small!

The Runaway Ilocano Maid: A Hard Lesson on Trusting and Spoiling

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

I never thought I'll do a "do you know this person" post here in this blog. Do you remember I talked about my son's nanny? She, the harmless province girl who was so likeable that we all trusted her, taught us a lot about trusting and spoiling. She asked for a vacation ...

Openline or Network Loyalty?

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

When my loyalty rewards contract with my old phone's service provider was about to expire, I realized that I can finally unlock my phone so that it can accommodate any other service provider. See, my phone was locked to the network I was with because it was almost given ...

My Baby Grows so Fast

Tuesday, May 13th, 2008

We went panic buying yesterday. Not food, but clothes. Baby clothes. Why? Because the Mother's day dinner we attended made us realize that all of AJ's 'for outings' clothes are too small for him! I never learned my lesson on overbuying baby clothes. I bought dozens when I was preggy with ...
