#MerrySMChristmas let us be happy like a child and make other's happy like a child too..

While I was still working in Cebu, every December we used to have a photo shoot at SM Christmas Tree. The company I have worked for even had a contest on the best pose beside the Christmas tree. The person who would win should portray the true meaning of Christmas. I had some thoughts at that time asking myself: Is Christmas tree really important? Why should SM give a care of making such huge and extravagant Christmas tree every year? An answer has just tickled my mind today: this Christmas tree is not just about decors but it does give us joy and a reminder of the birth of our savior  Jesus Christ and it's time to rejoice!

By looking into their decors and the response of the people, I was able to draw in mind what #MerrySMChristmas all about and pick up pairs of letters to give meaning into it,  that was the friendship of  GS & GC that gave true happiness in celebrating Christmas.

1. GS means Gathering and Sharing:

Now, that I am in Davao I was really excited to see the SM Christmas tree with my son. Indeed, this year's  #MerrySMChristmas gave more delight to my heart, looking at the huge Christmas tree with the bounty of Christmas lights everywhere, the rainbow colors of  Christmas decors, the big Christmas balls that I think , I only have seen this time and interesting village of  Lego just near to the Christmas tree. They just bring message that we should be happy like a child, jump for joy and play like a child then, make others happy like a child too.. as they do from that day they put huge Christmas trees and Christmas decors inside SM malls in the country where kids, moms, dad, families, lovers and singles could draw a big smile into their faces and were amused by just looking at those eye-popping Christmas decors. 

My son, indeed was so delighted with those Christmas lights and huge Christmas balls. He tried to hug each of them. A simple but unstained happiness and did make me happy by just looking at him enjoying everything he touched and saw. Thus, it was trying to tell us that even we only celebrate Christmas with simplicity, but celebrating it with true joy and sharing we could make other's Christmas meaningful too. #MerrySMChristmas behind their extravagant decor were a simple message that: everybody should remember and strive to be happy, we may have less or more, but true happiness and to be easily happy on simple things will make a meaningful Christmas. A #MerrySMChristmas gave essence to the value of gathering and sharing when they share their Christmas trees in the SM malls to others who cannot afford to buy one, where everybody rich and poor could celebrate together the wonders of Christmas.

                     

2. GC  means Giving and Camaraderie

Another thing beside the Christmas tree in SM Lanang Davao that my son got really fascinated were the village of Lego arranged in the big table and covered with  glass. An Airplane catches his attention: 

My son: " Like airplane, like..." , trying to hold it, but he couldn't .

Me: "Let's just watch and say hi.."

My son: "Hi...", waving his hands..

By just looking at those Lego land it already gave us joy and delight. Just like some of us, some may not be able to celebrate Christmas with their families like the OFWs, but we need to make a choice of being happy by just looking at them through pictures, sending them gifts, making them happy and talking to them. 

Nonetheless, some may not be able to celebrate with their families who lost lives in tragedy, orphans, sick and those who were hurting, but we could make our Christmas meaningful by making them happy through true joy of giving and camaraderie or simply by making them smile by putting a smile on our faces.

Thus, #MerrySMChristmas means let us be happy like a child and make others happy like a child too..through sharing our love by Gathering & Sharing,  Giving & Camaraderie. That is why SM invites us to their project SM Cares Bears of Joy for more details please visit http://bit.ly/MerrySMChristmas

How #MerrySMChristmas Begins

is outsource.com legit?

I cannot really say if its legit or not but one thing for sure when you are invited to bid for a certain work it has  an equivalent payment:  $4 or  $8 or $$$$ …I already have spent $18 when invited to bid for a job but no one comes back to me that I get hired. I stopped of giving a try for this job site.

Instead,  of spending too much money on the application with no assurance of getting the job,  I decided to stop bidding and continue my work in Odesk.  Thought it’s really hard to get projects because of competition but at least I am free to apply as much as 28 jobs and earn money when gets hired.  Luckily, I really had great experienced with odesk,   It does really take a lot of patience and prayer.  For those moms who are aiming to work online always remember patience is the virtue…  See the proof of my payment made to them.

My son learns ABC at 19 months

I was amazed at 19months my son can now recognize and speak almost of the letters ABC.

How did I introduced ABC to my son:

1. At  10 months old, I post the letter cards on the wall at our bedroom.

2. Sing ABC as a lullaby. I used to cuddle him to fall asleep during those times, I sing ABC song as a lullaby. 

3. At A year Old, i used to make fun of the letters on the wall pointing into every letter and the pictures of each letter. Saying or singing like this A is for apple, B is for Ball... I make it as part of his playtime most of the time.

4. Tune in to youtube, there are alot of fun ABC songs in youtube that my son really loves to listen and watch.

5. Buy books with ABC and other figures. Just read it with him and make fun on the sounds with my facial expressions just to cath his attention. I just simply say this is "Letter A, it says A like Apple".

6.  Play ask and point. Ask where is the letter? At an early stage where my son can't really speak yet, I just asked him where is the letter...? and he points it.

7.Play ask and speak out? Ask what is this? At a year and 6 months old he is already learning how to speak. I started playing "What is this?, pointing or bringing the letter to his attention." He can't really speak yet then I answer. Until time comes that he can speak it.

Doing all this, I was amazed that he can speak and recognized letters, in the books, in my shirts even in prints on the wall when we go the mall or anywhere. At less than year old they may not be able to get it right away but they do listen. I have noticed that babies are really a good listener with constant introduction, playing and making fun of the abc song you will be surprised that time will come that they can speak and reconized ABC. Have fun with ABC!

How I deal with postpartum stress

Since my husband is an overseas worker and I worked online, where I do go out seldomly and meet with people rarely I thought of these a  reason why am i being vulnerable of postpartum that i never thought I'd be. I felt doing things on my own most of the time and when my son is already a year and  6 months old, I finally started to assess myself and realized through reseach that I might have slight postpartum stress and if I am not willing to deal and overcome it, my health might get affected.

How did I deal with it:

1. You should be able to assess yourself that it is not you who get easily angry.

You should be able to assess your behaviour before you got pregnant and after pregnancy. I was a happy and possitive person before I got pregnant. I don't easily hold grudges or anger. After giving birth my sisters kept telling me that I easily get irritated and easy to get angry. I ignored it, untill I found out and accepted that trully I have changed and I don't want to be drowned by resentment, anger and negative emotions.

I have searched in the internet and notice that I may be struck by postpartum stress. I was willing to change and wanted to release stress.

2. I take exercise. I do sumba dance or jog even my son goes around with me. It was fun to do it with him.

3. Take a lot of prayer. I do pray after exercising or when walking up in the morning and before sleeping at night. The first few days was really difficult but when I contunue doing my prayer session I've noticed that I don't easily get angry anymore nor think of bad things people do to me or even think of negative.

My prayer:

Lord, I don't want this feeling: resentment, anger, negative thoughts,unforgiveness.

I am having hard time dealing with it and please forgive me of keeping these feelings, 

allowing it overcome my thoughts, just can't stop it.

You said that ask at it shall be given unto you.

I bow down before you today, to please send Your Holy Spirit, 

wash me from my sin...cleanse me whiter than the snow,

I asked by the power of the blood of Jesus, that your blood flows through my brain where it cleanses the part where I always remember bad things that people do to me small or big. Please let me forget it, and give me the grace to forgive. Please cleanse my brain that I can remember good things that people do to me small or big and  I can always remember fun memories. I don't want to be separated from you Lord. You are my saviour and magnificient God and I believe that you will heal me and you will continue to bless me. I asked this in the Mighty name of Jesus! Amen and Amen..

These steps really worked for me.. and i think I don't need to see a doctor.

As a home based working mom. I spend much of my time in the house. Online works and taking care of my baby are my routine jobs.

When to introduce vegetables and fruits to my toddler?

Vegetables, fruits and carbohydrates are the food that we need to introduce to our kids. As early as 4 months old i already have introduced fruit juices to my son. I made fresh fruit juice from watermelon, cucumber, apple, papaya and orange. I combine them all together through juicers. And give him 60ml- 120ml.

As early as 6 months Old my son, eat rice and vegetable out of poridege. I never introduce quick cooked food for my son. For now he loves eating vegetables and drinking fruit juices.

Definitely Japan. Definitely Kojie.san

I arrived home from a very tiring work. I put my things down and jumped into the bed. I had no time to even wash my face before going to sleep. I didn't give a care for my skin and didn't hope that it would get lighter. Until one day, my sister had a sleep over at my room. When I arrived home, I put my things down, jumped into the bed and fell asleep. She woke me up and said, "You! Wash your face. Look at yourself, you look so grumpy and your skin looks so dark and unhealthy. Eeww! you look so ugly!" I looked at her and yeah, I realized that she has been so vain on taking care of her skin. It paid off. We have the same skin color before. Now, she has a very nice skin, looks so healthy, young and her skin gets lighter than mine. So, I woke up and washed myself using the Kojie.san that she was using. From then on, I never go to sleep without washing my face and even bathing with Kojie.san the first kojic acid soap to be commercially available in the Philippine market.

Family reunion: 

On a chit chat, we were all laughing early in the morning.

One of my tita's said, “ Hey, I have question- you both look so pretty than we met last year.”

My other tita said,  “ Yes, can you tell us what did you both, put on your face? I want to use it too.. I want to be beautiful as you have become. “

Me &my sister laughed and said, ”A not so expensive soap, just wash every day and every night with orignal kojic soap.  Definitely Japan. Definitely Kojie.san!”

They were all surprised and were excited to buy one for themselves.

That time I finally have proven that kojie.san was really good for my skin! I'm glad that my sister gave me hope that my skin will get healthier and lighter. It was very important for me to use only this soap because I don't spend much time and money on skin care. Moreover;

• Kojie.san has a micro peeling effect, which makes it a potent whitening product, that keeps my skin lighter than before. 
• It does not contain any harmful chemicals that gives me comfort and assurance that my skin won't get burned.
• It does not contain antioxidants and 100% all natural ingredients, which keeps my skin young and healthy. What i like most, it keeps my skin smooth and moisturized.

I was really amazed! With just using the right soap it could make my skin brighter and lighter. Kojie.san, gave me that confidence I need! That, without spending money on facial saloons, I could still be beautiful and look younger than my age.

Go give yourself a try and you'll find the transformation you could never imagine and always remember be patient, use Kojie.san everyday and you'll be surprise that it can make you beautiful all day!

Saying Goodbye to your baby.

Since my son's birth I was already with him. Where ever I go, I bring him. Even going to the market I cuddle him with me. We have been together for almost every day of his life.

Now that he is already 1yr. and about 3months old, I decided to teach him saying: goodbye to me and me saying goodbye to him. Guess what, it's not only him who find it hard to let go, but I am also struggling. I want to cuddle him instead of saying goodbye and do my work. But, I need to practice this and help him understand that we are completely separate person.

Today is the first day of practicing saying goodbye to each other.

I take him into a bath and change his clothes while I am trying to let him understand these words.

Me:  " Baby, naynay (mother) will work, I am just outside. Ate will take care of you."

          Then I try saying: "Goodbye, bye, bye..." .

It was difficult for him to wave his hand, but I keep on smiling while saying "bye, bye, you sleep first and naynay will work ok. He is smiling while drinking his milk and trying to wave his hand. But, when I close the door, he is crying out loud.

I can't hold it, I opened the door and explained again while smiling: Naynay will work, I am just outside, I will come back and I put a smile on my face."Bye, bye.." He tried to wave his hand while crying. Deep inside me, I want to cuddle him but, I insisted not too. I need to do this.

Why is it important to say goodbye to your baby instead of snipping to go out when he can't see you?

1. For your baby to understand that you are completely separate person.

2. He'll understand that when you say goodbye you are just there and you will come back.

3. To cope up with strangers anxiety.

4. Help him to grow independently.

Can tapping make you sleep well?

Yes and it could turn you happy all day. I met this "tapping" when one of my customers asked me about tapping ideas. I searched into the internet and was surprised that there was such an activity that could  heal our inner self. They called it " tapping" . I got interested with it, and I tried it, tapping my head, eyes, upper mouth, and hands..while saying positive words and in the end I say in Jesus name. To my surprise, it does really make me sleep so easily. Also, I don't easily get irritated and I find my self happy all day! Sometimes when I pray, I tap my head, eyes,upper mouth, chin and hands and I find it very effecient on gaining positivity in my inner self and soul. I am glad that I find this idea about tapping.

My Huggies Review!

When I labored my baby, he was under nursery care for a week and two days.  As first time parent we were not particular about choosing a diaper.  We don't care which brand he used. After three days of labor I was advised by the doctor that I can go out of the hospital. But, to our dismay the pediatrician's advised was to wait for another three days before the baby could go out of the nursery care because he was under series of test. I was the only person allowed to cuddle my baby inside the nursery room -in a scheduled and limited time. Few days before his going out of the hospital, I've noticed that my baby was always crying and he really cried out loud. The nurse said my baby was one of the babies who cried so loud among the babies in the room. Yet, I didn't mind it.

 The day of his coming home: we were all excited! Yet, it was a very challenging day for me and my husband.  We've noticed that he cried so loud, when we moved his leg a bit  and every time he Poo's or pee. When we changed his diaper, I felt so worried and pity my baby of the pain he felt because of the diaper rash. My sister who was a nurse defined it as "a close to serious diaper rash". That was the first time, I've seen a diaper rash where my babies stratum was wounded, we could even see blood onto his wounds and on the sides of his legs. It was a heart breaking moment. 

We decided then to use cloth diaper to cure his rashes.When the wound was about to get healed, That was the time I knew Huggies. Since, I am new of using it and I was in doubt, that it might worsten my babies diaper rash,  I put a diaper cloth under the diaper before putting it on. Nevertheless, time came that I got tired of putting cloth onto the diaper. I took the risk of using the diaper without cloth. Also, I Put petroleum jelly on my babies buttocks and side legs. I noticed that my baby's rash didn't get worse and finally it got healed.

I was wondering what's with this Huggies? When I looked at it and I've evaluated the material. Huggies was made of cotton which was soft as a soft cloth that gave comfort to babies skin, even when they Pee or Poo. Though, it  was a bit expensive than many diapers in the market, I just forced myself to forget the price, as long as my baby won't suffer from diaper rash anymore! It was the experienced that I don't want him to feel again.

Is it important to visit your pedia monthly ?

From my personal experience yes! When I stopped seeing my doctor after my baby turned 4 months old. I didn't notice that his weight was not increasing as it should have been, so with his height. Most of my friends and relatives said my baby seemed to be smaller than his age. I realized, they were right when he reached 11 months. Even if his not sick, I decided to bring him to his pedia. I was disappointed of myself becuase my baby was only 8kls. yet he must be 11ks. The doctor checked his height, weight and the diameter of his head. We found out that his physical development was lower than average of his age bracket. The doctor advised was to give him milk that has calories like progress and pediasure.
