Mommy Moments: Summer Days are Here!

Summer is finally here and I hope we can go out of town soon - perhaps we'll try Tagaytay or Baguio (we can, if we can get that car and nanny soon)... Anyway, we have no specific plans yet so I figured that I should just post some tips on how us mommies can best take care of our babies during summer.
  1. Increase fluid intake - preferably water. Also, never give your baby water from roadside vendors. Keep in mind that there's been countless exposes on street vendors who transfer tap water into used mineral water bottles. To be safe, we should always carry food and water for our baby wherever we go with them.
  2. Choose cotton. We always love to dress up our babies but this summer, let's stick with cotton. Also, let's go with the sleeveless-short tandem and temporarily put away those pants and sleeved shirts.
  3. Avoid peak heat hours. Don't let your baby go outside from 10 am to 5 pm - unless you two are going straight to the mall or anywhere airconditioned.
  4. Cool blasts shouldn't hit your babies directly. It may overly hot inside your house but whenever your baby is sleeping or playing, never let the blast of cold air hit your baby directly.
  5. Babies shouldn't use cheap fancy shades. Resist the temptation to buy cheap sunglasses for your baby because that can harm their eyes and affect their sight. If you really want to buy a pair, do so from a trusted seller specializing in baby stuff.
  6. Do not apply excessive powder or moisturizers on your baby's skin. This can only cause irritation as dirt can build up on unrinsed massage oils and talcum powder can cake up when your baby perspires.

Real Leaf Paparazzi

I have never been a fan of sodas. Nor did I ever engage in a one-night spree with beer or vodka. Instead, I have always loved ice-cold tea. Drinking tea is a habit I’ve developed since I was in college and my ‘tea-addictivity’ has never wavered since. I’ve patiently put up with teabags for years but fortunately, bottled-up teas are now available and distributed in heaps. These days, I’m much fond of Nestea’s Real Leaf Tea and I share this fondness with my two closest “allies” – my partner in life and my younger brother. W hat follows is our one big atte mpt to encourage more people to engage in our quest for a Real Life with Coca Cola’s Real Le af tea (and of course, an attempt to get a prize from Nuffnang's exciting contest- Real Leaf Paparazzi!)… This is the typical “Juan” trying to have a Real Life. With the help of the Real Leaf tea, my brother 'John' tries to stay 100% on. He tries to relieve the exhaustion, stress, and anxiety brought by… (a) a hard day’s work as a n...

Life In Taborea: The World Of Runes Of Magic

Runes of Magic (RoM) is a free massively multiplayer online role-playing game (MMORPG) developed by the Taiwanese developer Runewaker Entertainment. It's here in the Philippines now, and has been in Open Beta since January 8. My brother is addicted to the game and I have read a lot of rave reviews about it. The most frequent of which is the fact that its graphics are very appealing and quite realistic. S et in a fantasy world filled with magic, monsters, and heroes, it gives you an out of this world experience as you try out a variety of quests and battle with f ellow players and monsters. Whenever you take on your character - may it be a rogue, mage, priest, warrior, or knight, you will feel as if you're leading a double life. Those who have loved DOTA and World of Warcraft will definitely enj oy this game more. If you want to know more about the game, please check http://www.runesofmagic.com.ph/ . ............................................................. PRELUDE At times...

Mommy Moments: Dear Mommy

Dear Mommy Dear Mommy, your child is your princess. She is your responsibility. If not for her own sake, never let her get hurt by any means. Dear Mommy, your child is your fan. She learns and takes after what you do, how you feel, where you go, how you react, what you think, why you love and why you hate. For her, be the best. Do not fail at being a good person for she too might suffer the same fate. Dear Mommy, your child is your student. Teach her everything that you know and guide her in every way that you can. Bombard her with good thoughts, warm emotions, and logical and critical reasoning. Empower her with love, understanding and patience. Dear Mommy, your child is your flesh and blood. Accept her. Recognize the whole of her - strengths, weaknesses, successes, and failures. Never forsake her for making wrong decisions and doing wrong things. She needs your guidance and your encouragement, not your pity, pride, and punishment. She needs you even when she says she doesn...
