dog owner...who? me?

Is anything wrong with me? I'm not really into pets. I only have a puppy before I reached 7 but when it died, my love for dogs vanished. A friend offered to give us one of her puppies but I refused gracefully saying I'm allergic to dog's fur. Am I really allergic? That's what I think so because everytime I'm with one room with dogs, I degenerate into a sneezing fit! Honestly I despise mid-night potty runs, vomit on the rug and hair coating the couch caused by dogs. I don't have any idea of dog grooming too. It really needs sacrifice to raise a happy and well-adjusted dog. This week, I read an article that discusses that pet ownership in general can lower cholesterol and increase longevity; however, maximum benefits can be obtained only through dog ownership. This fact really struck me deeply. When I look at it this way , cleaning up the rug and going for mid-night potty breaks don’t seem like as much of a sacrifice anymore. In fact, it seems that we humans get

Hyzyd and the Berenstains' Bears

Hyzyd got new favorites week after week. Most of his favorites involves books. He's not really into toys and movies but books! This week he's into a new book titled "The Berenstain Bears and the Big Red Kite". Guess who's his favorite reader? His dad! He won't let me read it to him. Poor mommy!:( On the other, I'm quite relieved because Hyzyd is giving his dad a hard task...he..he...He won't let his dad go over to other pages. He wanted his dad to create stories after stories out from this illustration for as long as 30 minutes! LOL! I also enjoy the stories made up by his dad- stories that came from "out-of-nowhere". can you help us make more more stories out from this illustration? It seems that we're running out of ideas...LOL! an entry for

Mommy Moments- Arrival of our baby

October 23, 2008 was one of the happiest days of my life when our son , Hyzvhann Hyzydyll arrived to this world at 6:54 am at Rajyindee Hospital, Hatyai City, Songkhla, Thailand. weight: 2.93 kg length: 50 cm head circumference: 33 cm blood type: "B" All babies delivered via caesarian or normal are required to be incubated for couples of hours in this hospital that's why this is where he was first seen by my excited family. exactly after 4 hours after delivery, I've seen my precious son the first time I've seen him open his eyes The birth of our baby is a mixture of anxiety, excitement and expectation. For me, it is a fulfilling experience.God has given me unusual resilience strength and courage to bear the burden and discomfort. A new life in our lap is a dream coming true for both of me and my hubby. It is the ultimate experience for us to bring a new creature into the world. Time flies so fast! My baby is now a toddler! As a parent of a toddler,I have to renoun

Health insurance for Hyzyd is a must!

Even if I put my child in a glass case for protection, he'd find a way to break the glass and cut himself. Mild accidents happened last night despite my best childproofing and safety efforts. Last night my 14-month old tot was with me in the living room. He is playing and watching Mickey Mouse Club House at the same time. Because he seemed busy with his activity, I prepare our dinner in a nearby table. The moment I turned my back at him, I already heard a loud crash! I was petrified of what might happen to my baby. He was standing next to a fallen stand fan with broken blades around him! I checked on him if he has cuts, or any sort of injury. Thanks be to God that he's alright. I'm relieved. When I'm done picking up the broken pieces, I bathed him. I got the shock of my life again for he managed to put in his mouth a portion of the broken blade! How come was he able to manage to pick up one and put it in his mouth? What if he swallowed the broken blade? In times like th

on getting rid of stretch marks

Do you have issues with stretch marks? This is one of the new challenges I met being a new mother after giving birth. After a year, stretch marks are still visible on my tummy and thighs and I don't know how to remove them. How I wish removing them is as easy as erasing marks on a paper...*sigh*.... What are stretch marks by the way? Pregnancy entails different bodily changes. As the baby grows, so does your belly. The skin over your expanding tummy stretches to accommodate your larger body. Although the skin is fairly flexible and elastic, there are instances that it is overstretched resulting to collagen and elastin ( both are proteins that make up the skin tissue ) disruption resulting to skin being damaged and torn. Consequently, stretch marks occur. Another cause of stretch marks is hormonal changes that accompany during periods of growth. Pregnancy is one such period. Production of glucocorticoid hormones from the adrenal glands increases while pregnant. Fibroblasts, the cell

Hyzyd and the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

We went to the mall's bookstore yesterday and I let Hyzyd chose a magazine from the children's section. He chose Mickey Mouse Clubhouse with 3D paper models because he's familiar with it and he's watching the Mickey Mouse Clubhouse everyday. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is a children's television series, that premiered in prime time on Disney Channel on May 5, 2006. The program is part of the Playhouse Disney daily block of shows intended for preschoolers. Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck, Goofy, and Pluto star in the series, which focuses on interacting with the viewer to stimulate problem solving. Ludwig Von Drake, Chip 'n Dale, Pete, Mr. Pettibone, Willie the Giant, Clarabelle Cow, Butch, Figaro the Kitten, Humphrey the Bear, Salty the Seal, Buzz-Buzz the Bee and Mortimer Mouse have made guest appearances. Each episode has the characters help viewers "solve a specific age-appropriate problem utilizing basic skills, such as identifying shapes

Couples Corner: How do you deal annoying habits of your partner?

I asked my hubby last night of what habit of mine that irritates him. He said he couldn't think one coz he loves the "whole ME" and overlooks those annoying habits of mine so no need to mention. Can you believe that? I know I did some seemingly irritating things but never did I hear my hubby complain. I thank God that He gave me a hubby who accept my irritating habits like being forgetful and the amount of time I spent in getting ready that he will always wait for me. The topic for this week made me ponder of what irritating habits does my partner possessed that provokes me. I could only think of one thing coz the other things is tolerable ( just part and parcel of our relationship ) and doesn't cause serious problem with our relationship. It's about the amount of time spent on playing Sudden Attack or Crazy Taxi 3 rather than with me. It's not always but when he's so engaged with this games , it's hard for him to stop! It sometimes causes friction bet

Protect our child online through Comvigo IM Lock Software

Internet revolutionized our lives and it brought so many benefits for me- research is just a click away , keeping an online diary, and I should say that one of the most important benefits offered from the wide applications of the internet is communication. The internet managed to eliminate distances and provide us with a unique opportunity to talk, watch and have fun with our loved ones, friends or acquaintances. Chat rooms, messenger services, emails and conferencing programs are the most common uses for communicating over the internet. We can enjoy the benefits of the cheap communication and maintain close contact with loved ones from all over the world. On the other hand, it can't be denied that with the benefits of internet, our children are also just one click away from obscenely graphic and addictive pornography, and new threats--like cyberbullying and 'sexting'--also flourish, invading the 'Age of Innocence' every child deserves. How could we help protect o

How to stop thumb/finger sucking?

Hyzyd, my Baby and child sucks his fingers almost all the time...is it okay?...should I stop him? How? I observed that babies generally suck their thumb to soothe themselves. My pediatrician told me that it is good, because they need to learn how to rely on their own resources. The ability to regulate or control one's behavior and emotions is an important developmental challenge. When my child sucks his thumb, he's just finding ways to make himself feel better without my help. It's comforting to know that but it's quite disturbing on the other hand. Honestly I'm concerned now especially that Hyzyd is almost 15 months . There are times that it is more irritating. They said my baby will stop when he's ready and has developed other ways of soothing himself. The question now is WHEN? The American Dental Association says most children can safely suck their thumb — without damaging the alignment of their teeth or jaws — until their permanent teeth begin to appear. (
