  • mulan..

    So we finally watched the Mulan play last August 16th. It was huge! It was really great. I am happy that  my little girl's school let them watch theatrical plays like this every single year. It's very educational, letting these children be exposed to the theatrical arts and scenes besides the academics.

  • never a problem child..

    I just got off the phone. Talked to one of my Aunts, about a relative's problem about her child. I have been hearing the story for over a month now, and it just strucked me..that I truly am, one LUCKY mom, to have a kid like mine. It still amazes me up to this very moment, how I had such a very good little girl like her. I am truly thankful and grateful for being blessed with such a lovely daughter.

    It scares me sometimes, that I might have been taking her for granted. Not letting her know how much she is appreciated. Hearing stories like what I just heard, served as a wake up call for me, make me wanna do a reality check. That I might have been overlooking some stuffs and putting at risk my relationship with my little girl.

    I cannot let that happen. I know I just can't, but sometimes, I am busy disciplining my child, i'm scared that I might be overdoing some things already. I want her to feel independent, free from my shadow and let her shine on her own. I'm not perfect, too far from it. I just wish I am doing the right thing when it comes to my daughter. And if not, I wish there will be something that would remind me that i'm not doing the right thing anymore.

    I know this entry sounded a bit crazy, but I know if you're a Mom like me, you would definitely understand.

  • the hospital..

    My little one spent 3 nights and 2 days at the hospital. She's had fever since Monday, often times, this is relieved by paracetamol or ibuprofen, but not this time around. Which prompts me to rush her to the hospital. It was really scary coz this was the first time she's been admitted to the hospital for observation. Luckily, she's better now..I don't wanna go back through that experience again :(

  • xanga featured Q..

    I consider giving life to my child as the single most important event in my life. It was a huge decision to make. Not only did I gave up soooo many things a young single person enjoys, but the responsibility that goes with being a parent is in itself, a BIGGIE.

    When I gave birth to my only child, my whole life changed. I seen meaning in my everyday life that I never saw before I had her. She brought greatness that I never thought possible. Sure it wasn't easy to play the big role of a Mommy, oftentimes you get frustrated, anxious about so many stuffs..stuffs that weren't taught in school!

    But no matter how hard raising a child may seem at times, the essence of being a Mom is too great and powerful I can't even begin to describe. I saw myself doing things that I never thought I am capable of doing. I guess that's what LOVE truly meant, being able to forget one's self and putting another forward.

    So if you ask me what is the single most important event in my life, I say it's that life I gave for a tiny little child, 9 years ago..

  • games..

    My daughter found this little website on here thats got tons of nice games for kids to enjoy. I actually enjoyed it myself, t'was a little bonding time for both of us, playing games like that. I don't recommend internet for school age children, the net still isn't the best place to spend an afternoon with for kids, but I recommend this site, since the net will always be a part of our lives now, but with full supervision, I think ur kids will love this site as much as mine did.

  • MTAP..

    My little girl is attending the Math Challenge program. Her school hold this event every year and she joins in every year too. She loves Math lol unlike me. I hate Math as a kid lol I still do until now, but I can live with it hahaha. But then again Math was way different with kids, I don't know how my kid does it, but maybe given the fact that my Mom is a certified public accountant, maybe she got her math brains from her. I can go around computing meds since I am a nurse lol, but to do a Math challenge lol that..I am not capable of. I am proud sooo proud of her.

  • ma in school..

    I stayed with her in her school the entire day Friday. Some 4th graders prolly wouldn't like the idea of having their Mom watch over them in school lol. Well for younger children maybe, but not for children 4th grade and above. I just felt I had to coz she has the cough for far too long and I needed to see her daily routine in school, coz I think she does something that pretty much aggravated her throat condition and I needed to correct that. We're way past the medication stage, there's something in her activities in school that I suspect plays a huge role why her coughing won't go away.



    I did ask her if it's ok for me to stay there the whole day, eventhough I know she would say something but mean otherwise lol atleast I sorta asked her permission. And so I found out what I came there for. She runs like crazy while playing with friends! She is all sweaty and would then step into a fully airconditioned room for the start of her class and that's how she dries up! Not very good.

    And so I had to explain to her the reason why her coughin won't go away. I did what I thought was best of course. Sure she can ran again with friends and play, but atleast not for a few days or until her coughing goes, she need to be well rested. It's viral of course, and it happens within 3 to 10 days and then the virus goes away on it's own. But until u help your own body combat the virus, it would stay for as long as it wants to. And then I did the fluids therapy on her, and luckily I haven't heard her barking the whole Saturday lol. So it's safe to say she is ok now.

  • still has it..

    She still has the cough. And I had to repeat over and over again the importance of taking in more fluids! It's hard enough to teach a patient you're not even related to, but I didn't realized it's even harder to do health teaching on your own child lol.

    So anyways, she and I will be going to this play, "Mulan" next month August 18 if i'm not mistaken. I try and make her see plays once every year that her school offers, it's not compulsary, but I think it is very educational for children like her to see one like it. She watched the repertory's Cinderella for last year and The Emperor's New Clothes for the year prior. I just hope she will like Mulan the way she enjoyed the other plays we attended.

  • busy..

    I am not ignoring my momaroo obligations believe me lol. I have just been very busy the past week, due to the review classes I am attending for my nclex. But I know for a fact that my little girl should always come first, I specifically see to it that this happens the moment I get home, and leave all that's happened to me during the day, in class.

  • grannies..

    My parents are here for the weekend, although I haven't seen my Dad yet since I got home, I think he went out with my brother, not quite sure to where though. Anyways, my Mom and my little girl were updating each other when I got home. My parents seldom come visit us since they got this newly built house away from the city. They visit us every weekend in the past, and when they started not to, we sort of thought they've forgotten about us their children already lol. I know it's a crazy thought.

    Anyways, they were a great picture. Grandma and my little girl. Haven't seen that picture in a whle. I wish I really did took a pic of them lol but sorry I didn't! So yeah, that's just about it, i'm just sooo tired I need to rest. So bye all!

  • Do you think u are a better parent than ur own parents? Y or y not? -- in my opinion..

    She is busy doing her homework right now, so I thought I should blog a bit. I read the featured question in Xanga, and I just couldn't help reacting. Actually, I can't tell if I am a good parent to my kid than my parents are to me.

    For the past 9 yrs. of my life, I have learned that, what matters most to me is my little girl's opinion of me as a Mom. I don't really care what other people's opinions are about me, I don't care about what they think of me, and my ways and means in raising my kid. I am more concerned with and sensitive about what she thinks of me as her Mom. I know I don't always make the best decisions, but one thing is for sure, whatever decision I make, I will never put my little girl's life in danger.

    My parents have been the best. I don't think I can compare myself to them, for me they are incomparable. But the things I been through as a single Mom, those are things my parents never experienced. They always had each other's back ever since the day they met. Something I never had. Of course they had their own ups and downs as parents to us their children, but the fact that they got each other, problems are a piece of cake. Totally different from mine world.

    I don't think it's about who the best or the better parent is. I think it's more about how parents conquered parenthood and how they performed as parents in their children's eyes.

    I just answered this Featured Question, you can answer it too!
