I know, I know. Mothers’ Day was last week and my post is already late. Pardon my being absent from my own blog for the past three weeks as it has been a bit busy time for me. (Nothing new there, actually). Last weekend, we went home to the mountain city since Z’s nanny needed to go home to her hometown for the election so I needed to leave the little boy back home because they missed him, too. 🙂 As of this writing, my son is still there with my Mom, spending another week before I pick them up this coming […]
When Vanity Strikes: Service Awards Banquet
I’m actually turning 10 years with the company on December 27. However, given that my 10th year is within the calendar year, I have been included in the more than 100 awardees for this year within the company. The awardees were the ones who have rendered 2, 5, 10, 15 and 20 years within the company. But that is not what I wanted to talk about. For every event that I am invited to that requires me to dress up, I need to allot about 2 months to find the right dress. Yep, you read it right – 2 months, at […]
Ouch! My Back…
My neck… My legs… My arms… As much as I don’t want to, I had to go on sick leave today because I can hardly get out of bed this morning. And when I was able to, it felt like my arms were going to fall off. My body hurts all over from carrying Z over the weekend. Z can already walk. When he’s inside the house, he doesn’t want to be carried at all. But once we step outside, a few steps out of the building and he will hold up his arms asking to be carried. And if […]
When The Nanny Is Away
I just realized that it’s already 1AM this side of the world. And I am still sweating like it’s lunch time. I really can’t bear this kind of heat and can’t wait for summer to end, just so it would cool down a bit. Anyway, the heat isn’t what my post is all about. For the first time since my son arrived here in the big metro, his nanny took her day off, days off rather. 🙂 She left before noon to visit and stay overnight with a relative nearby. It was okay with me. Given the work she’s been doing […]
Cleaning Essentials by Baby & Me
I just saw this event yesterday while browsing through Instagram. Since I haven’t really planned anything for this weekend, I decided to register and join the session. So, the topic was about Cleaning Essentials. Do you remember that trending news about sippy cups/training cups and the likes that were accumulating molds when they opened the lids? That’s where this talk came about. Especially for first time Moms, we are all obsessed about making sure that all our baby’s things are clean, sometimes, even cleaner than clean. From baby bottles, toys, clothes, even the surfaces that our babies will hold. So […]
The Nivea Sale 2016
It’s that time of year again. The Nivea sale came in a bit early this year (It was May 1-3 last year, if I’m not mistaken). I was not totally prepared so I only got a few. Last year, I was not able to get the bar soap because it was already out of stock all over when I decided to join in the fun of hoarding. 🙂
Feeling Hot! Hot! Hot!
It’s already 1:19AM in this side of the world but really, this heat is unforgiving. It’s 30 degrees Celcius with a real feel of 37 degrees. And it is even forecasted to go higher at 43 degrees within the day. Even my floor feels warm, as if the heat is coming from underneath. Seriously, who can tolerate this heat? Even at work, it seems that the airconditioning has been working overtime as well. A/C temperatures have been standardized but it seems that it needs to go a notch lower just to keep the temperature at a comfortable level. And while […]
Physical Therapy Wednesdays…
Since Z arrived in the big metro last February, he has been scheduled for a weekly session for physical therapy. He needs this to help him develop his gross motor skills such as walking, running, crawling, etc. While Z is already walking, he still needs to have his core muscles strengthened for him to have better balance. Every Wednesday, this sleepless Momma needs to wake up early to bring the little boy to his weekly classes, as what I call it. His physical therapy session is done through play and I really like the play gym that MedMom has. They really have […]
Beating the Summer Heat…
I don’t know with you guys, but this summer heat is killing me. It’s hard to sleep at night, it’s hard to go out during day time, it is so hard to move even. It feels like every ounce of energy is being sucked out of me regardless of what I do. On top of this heat, this Momma is sooo in need of a massage. I have been quite stressed out for some time now and I think I need a little relaxation. If only I can find the time to get a massage. Oh well.
Summer is already upon us on this side of the world and what better way to beat the heat than swimming, yeah? 😀 We didn’t leave the house today since it was really hot this afternoon. So after Z’s nap, we went down to the pool to cool down. Thank God this place has its own swimming pool, albeit small, it does the job. 🙂
A Year and a Decade…
It’s a few minutes after midnight already on this side of the world, marking the start of the fifth day of the month. Where did the first three months go? Days go by so quickly nowadays, I feel like I am having a hard time catching up. We are well into the summer time again in this part of the world. Temperature skyrocketing during the mid day that all I want to do is to stay indoors and be lazy. Only if I can do that, though. But seriously, it is really hard working in this kind of heat. I’ve […]
