Some say these are just part of being a typical mother. I am just being a normal mother then. I am having a pretty normal young motherhood phase.

a pretty normal thing.
Am I a bad mother when I lose my temper? Am I a bad mother when at a split second I am about explode in fiery annoyance and then just ignore an endless whining and wailing altogether? Am I not doing a good job if my preschooler skips a meal, only wants hotdogs and yogurt? Am I not entitled to a perfect poise and grace and possess the longest patience? Sometimes I wish I can scream.
even if it's not the easier life
This little baby is going to spend his first birthday and another 10 months more in Dubai. I remember how easy it was for his kuya to adjust on the new place. Maybe because he was just a baby, just about his younger brother's age, and really didn't mind the environment change. And maybe he thought it was something normal.I still worry a bit on how he's going to cope with just a plain studio flat kind of home, no amusing surroundings in the neighborhood, and the unfriendly sun.
But I know family love can do awesome magic. Being together and doing things on our own for the first time - I think staying in dubai and not have any help is a very big dare for us to take especially for me and the babies, but sometimes you only have to do what you have to do. Even if it's not the most comfortable or easier life, it is still the most beautiful life so you all can grow together as a family.
We're going to make new pudding adventures for us to keep forever.

X Out Cervical Cancer!
I got my second dose of HPV vaccine today. My left arm is nagging in soreness and the need to spread the word on the importance of this vaccine is nagging equally. Every woman deserves a chance against cervical cancer so get protected now. Love your life.
hanging out
It's time to hang out with yourself because you deserve a moment to think and take things easy. A colorful hint for your top and a clean crisp of whiteness on your feet would do the trick! It's absolutely a day in paradise.

Mijn Schatje copied Totoro!
I thought the rabbit felt very Hayao Miyazaki. It had to be. I am a fan of his animated films as Spirited Away is one of my ultimate favourite movie. I've also known My Neighbor Totoro by heart and I knew that cute little creature on that illustration is Totoro.
How can this Mijn Schatje thought of getting away with stealing other's works while making money all on her own? I can't believe how she imagined that people wouldn't recognize other artists works. I'm sorry but I have to say that this is truly a pathetic cry for desperation - couldn't create my own, might as well do some short cut.

D' Family Park it is!
We want to celebrate Zaiid's 3rd birthday under the sun since it will be his first time to celebrate it outdoors. So we head out to hunt for that perfect venue. First on the list is D' Family Park located in Talamban. First look at the area and we all fell inlove. This is going to be perfect for a children's party.
The park offers a nature-friendly experience for everyone. Lying nearby is a one-hectare lagoon, two separate swimming pools for kids and grownups, a mini zoo (which made my little boy jump up and down to see monkeys for real!), a huge open field, and a children's playground with slides, swings and tykes playstations. Awesomeness!
Thanks to Manona, she paid for the Pavilion hall where we can exclusively hold our party. Whoot! 4th of July here we come!

last day of summer school
He managed to go to school everyday for 4weeks. I am so proud of my little preschooler. A lot has changed in him since he had gone to school. The biggest of them all is his independence - knowing that it's ok to be away from Mama for a little while... bringing his backpack on his own... putting away his toys... and saying goodmorning and goodbye with delight. He was loving school, the teachers, the playground, his castle, the freedom he's got.
Today was extra special because it was the last day of summer school. They all went out ten minutes earlier to play outside. Other kids were running around with their kites, while others, like Zaiid, had fun on the slides and ropes.
"Ma, please. Put away the camera. It's milk time."
