My friend Aldriana is really working hard to get back her figure after giving birth to my God-son Elrich, last year. Her husband Louie, who also happened to be my workmate before always tease his wife about her goal of becoming sexy again. He said that she does not eat as much as she used to when she was pregnant with Elrich and that she is now also dedicated to working out three times a week, and also do yoga, so that she won’t waste the money she is investing on the weight loss supplements that she’s taking.
She waited long enough to do all these things because she had to breastfeed her son, but now that he is eating solid food and drinking milk and other supplements, she said it’s time that she also look after her health since she gained a lot of weight during the pregnancy.
I’m glad to see women like Aldie, who want to take care of themselves and look good not just because of their husbands but for themselves and to be confident enough. Kudos to you Aldie!
Abuelo used to tell me and my siblings that when we find the one we love and want to spend the rest of our lives with, we should dedicate ourselves to making them happy and giving them only what’s best. I have already found that person, and has started building my own family. I still and will always keep in mind what Abuelo has taught me.
Abuelo loved Abuela so much and we all saw how they took care of each other, and how he worked so hard just to ensure that he can give Abuela all the best things in life. Abuela wa salmost too dependent on him in so many things that when he was gone, she did not know what to do.
But the clever Abuelo had his ways… Read the rest of this entry »
With the way things are going on right now, being ready to face life’s challenges is our weapon to stay afloat. We all want a good future not only for ourselves but also for our loved ones, but sometimes, and in the most unexpected way, things could just crumble into pieces and all our dreams could be gone. The job we thought will last til retirement could suddenly be taken away from us, and everything we hoped for could vanish. It’s always wise to have a back-up plan and to prepare for what’s worst even if we are having the best time of our lives.
If you have not made the first step, start having a savings whether in the bank, or investing on a property and grab an insurance quote to begin with. Anyway, I guess people nowadays have learned so much from the mistakes that many others have done in the past. It’s always wise to think about tomorrow and not get too drowned or blinded by what we have today. Continue to strive and not take anything for granted, to make sure that our future will be bright.
I’m so glad to be back after being away for awhile. I wanted to write about my vacation with Dee but unfortunately, the series of frequent brownouts, that affected the area where I went to, has been preventing me from doing all the things I should be doing. But anyway, I’m back home and back to writing as well.
The short vacation was also fun because I love the place and it’s so relaxing. It was even so romantic and inspiring that I can’t help but even borrow promotional pens from Mang Amit, the caretaker of the house, just to write my thoughts on a small piece of paper and just typed it later on when I had the chance to, and gave the poems I wrote to Dee. She likes it that way, when I give her love poems and love notes out of the blue. She likes sweet surprises.
Anyway, I’m glad to be back, at last!
Potty Training your little Boy is one of the most essential things to do once you feel that he is ready. Mostly this is done prior to your kid getting 2 year’s old. When my son Iñigo is about to become 2 years old, he doesn’t wear diaper anymore, except when traveling or going out and he is very independent already.
We potty trained him early. It wasn’t really hard to train him because my son felt like an adult, he even have this attitude of choosing what he wants to wear as early as 1 y/o. Perhaps it’s because he was surrounded by adults and young adults, with Amari as the youngest. He doesn’t really have too many playmates because there are no kids around. He only gets to see and play with kids at the mall.
The things about diapers is that, although they keep the baby dry and you don’t have to change his undies all the time. It saves us parents from all other expenses, as well as our time. If ever the baby poops or pees a lot, it could still get messy but not as much as when he’s not wearing any diapers. But the downside of it is that diapers are starting to cost a lot and the baby’s skin is likely to get irritated, and usually my mom say it’s the common source of infection in baby girls whenever left unattended. Lucky that we have a baby boy.
They say it’s harder to potty train boys than girls, but with Iñigo he was the one who showed interest in using the potty and he seemed so irritated having to wear his diapers, and he hates hit when it has poop on it that he want the soiled diapers to be taken off him immediately or else he would keep on crying. He felt more comfortable wearing kiddie undies alone without the diapers. And when he was about 2 years and four months old, we let him pee before bedtime, and his diapers usually has so little pee or it is dry until morning, and he would say weewee when he wakes up, meaning he wants to pee and he points at the washroom where we placed his potty training set.
The pooping part was easy but it’s the peeing ang aiming part that was a little challenging. Andrea handled the sitting on the potty when pooping but I had to train him how to pee properly which he has mastered by now, although sometimes he still misses the target especially when something else catches his attention. At first, I had to show him how peeing is done, the hardest part is that I don’t really feel like peeing when he felt like he was going to pee. There’s a technique I’ve learned from dad though, just the way he trained us. He would place that little bottle on the spot and would train us to aim on it. So I did the same and so far Iñigo has learned to do it, dad’s trick really helped a lot.
After he was potty trained, we only let him wear diapers before to sleep most especially when he’s been playing all day and night, or he’s very restless, or when we go out, but when he’s just home he wears nothing but his kiddie undies and shorts. He can pee alone, although we try to still watch over him because he might play with the water. When he feels scared, he either tells Andrea, Abuela Anna or mom, or anyone at home when he wants to pee or poop. I’m so proud of my little boy because he has learned so many things and is growing really fast.
