Needles Done!

Thank God..!! we are done with the 2 needles that Chloe needed before going to school. We want to think that we are that kinda modern parents… that let the kid know what to expect..and why we are doing certain things. In other words.. we like the “reasoning” part of bringing our kid up.

So 1.5 weeks before the needles.. we started painting the scenario to her.. and explaining to her.. why she had to have it.. and how many days more. Of course, she would bargain.. and she didn’t liked it.. but she didn’t kicked up a big fuss either… because we just didn’t pushed it.. we went with the flow.. and we tried to give her examples of other kids she knows that had it done.

The day arrived.. and yes.. she did puked after the needles .. and there was some crying.. but i really think she did very well. The crying didn’t last for more than a min and another minute of puking.. and she was calmed down.. and she played with the toys.. and all. More info on the needles on my health blog and why i chose the public nurse over the family doctor.. and Chloe’s version of her experience on her own blog.

Yes..!! completely naked..!!!

Thank you all for being so nice.. for saying i have great skin.. and great finger nails.. yer all are too nice lah.. 🙂 but truth be told.. the pictures you see below.. are completely make up free..! i haven’t put on make up for more than 8 yrs now. After Chloe was born. .sometimes.. i’m in such a hurry.. i forget to even put on cream on my face. And recently because of my surgery.. i really haven’t taken care of myself at all. So yes.. my face is completely naked.. of make up or anything else.. except for some lip gloss and a dab of color.

OMG!!! What Are You Eating .. Chloe..!!!!

For those who knows our brat .. Chloe.. you would know that we have a hard time feeding her any food .. or any new food. She eats noodles, rice and tofu .. and lots of corn.. and that’s it. She refuses to eat any kind meat.. but would eat luncheon meat. She would eat fish.. but not baked fish.

When we go up the city.. it is very hard to get her to eat anything. She would eat fries .. and nothing else. Very worried.. we packed things for her to eat .. when we are on the road. But on Saturday .. last week.. she ate something.. that we had been trying to get her to eat.. to make it easier for us.. when we are on trips. Wanna check it out..?? Click here.

What Is Mama’s Lil’ Helper Up To..??

If you know me.. you know that i always keep my brat involved in whatever i do. Be it housework.. or cooking.. i let her “help” me. If i was doing some vacuuming .. she can use a dry mop to help mop the kitchen. Or if i was cooking .. i let her help me with putting in pepper .. or salt.. or stuff that is easy.. and she wouldn’t burnt herself. But of course we started her young.. telling her how hot the stove is.. so she never goes near the stove… when it is turned on.. and we are cooking something. And the lil’ missy helped again this morning. If you wanna see what mama’s lil’ helper was up to this morning.. click here. But be warned.. it’s uber cutie!! and if you donch wanna smile today.. donch go there now.

The Art Of A Good Union/Marriage

So what is the art of a good marriage or union.. ?? we all know that in any relationship.. it is an uphill task. Having a wedding ceremony. .and a reception . .and for those from home.. a huge wedding dinner. .in the fanciest restaurant.. is just the beginning. .and not the end of all the hoo – haas with your life together.

I don’t professed to be an expert .. or a old timer.. but i think a good combination of having a spouse and the in-laws who don’t get all agitated or upset with little stuff.. may be the key to a good union. PB and the in-laws. .they don’t sweat the smart stuff.. on top of everything.. they don’t interfere. The man is not tied to his mother’s apron strings .. that is a plus too. Plus, he doesn’t get all worked up.. when i am.. so we are never in the same fight at the same time.

What is your deal with a good marriage/union..?? pray tell.

GPS Tracking For Your Loved Ones

With all the things that are going on around the world, one cannot help but be a wee bit paranoid, especially as a parent. And in the case where George Ford murdered a 12 yrs old, Summers, but claimed that he had accidentally ran her over, that really made me sit up and think the choices I have to make to keep my daughter safe now and when she becomes a teenager. A GPS Tracking device helped the police find out the truth about what happened with Summers. Of course, I am torn in between respecting my daughter’s privacy & trusting her, and keeping her safe. But I know if i explained it to her about why I am doing it, she would understand right..?

And no I wouldn’t keep her from knowing I have a tracking device in her car even though it is easy enough to slip it into the glove compartment or the trunk or even under the vehicle since it has a pretty strong magnet for mounting onto metal surfaces and is totally water resistant. The GPS Tracking key is connected to 24 Dept of Defense satellites orbiting the earth, combined with the LandAirSea GPS Tracking software, you can see or map where the car has traveled, and even how many stops they made or for how long, even how fast they were driving. Simply by plugging in the tracking key into a USB port of any computer you can download and view the data in Google Earth. I trust the GPS tracking systems by LandAirSea because it is said that each individual system has gone through extensive engineering and testing phases, both in the field and in the lab. Check out the clip below and I’m sure you will agree with me that protecting your loved ones is very important.
