Who's who? Ysha and Yza

I'm blessed with twins :) and 3 days from now, they will be 2 months old. I feel like they're growing so fast and I'm amazed by everything that makes them alike in many ways. However, I'm more interested in things that make them different from each other.

My Ysha (Elisha Velika)

Ysha is "Baby A" (as noted by the surgeon who conducted the CS operation). When she was born, she was very red - not pinkish but really reddish and I was so worried. They conducted a series of blood tests and other tests on her and after days of anxiety, they told me that she was indeed as healthy as her twin sister.


Ysha was the baby whom the US technician wrongly predicted to be a boy. She's slightly smaller (lighter) than Yza when she was born. Up to now, Yza is still bigger than her and the reason is obvious - Ysha is so active and she doesn't drink as much milk as Yza does.

Ysha loves breast milk more than bottled milk. I think she'll be a morena when she gets older. Also, her nosebridge is higher than ours (Yza, Yana, and me) and she loves sleeping on her back and on her side.


My Yza (Elyza Venise)

Now, my baby B has a lighter skin tone than Ysha, so much so that I also worried a lot when she was born. Fortunately, she too was very healthy. She was born 8 minutes after Ysha.


Yza is my 'tabachingching' baby. She can drink more than 4 ounces of milk straight. She also sleeps longer than Ysha. Unlike her sister, Yza is not picky with her milk - you can feed her with the powdered milk or breastmilk, it won't matter to her. She loves to sleep on her tummy.

Yza has a birthmark (where and what color I won't share here.. it's a mommy secret!) and she has more hair than Ysha. Yza looks pretty much like Yana.

Both of them love lullabies and you will have to cradle them to sleep. I also noticed that Yza's voice has a higher pitch than Ysha so I can tell which one of them is crying even when I can't see them :) Yey!

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.

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...
