You know what? I’m really happy! Why? Aj just said goodbye to his “binky” (pacifier). Yipeey! Isn’t that good news for a mom striving to eliminate a pacifier from her dependent baby? Yipeey again!

Well, the goodbye thingy wasn’t really planned. It was last 2 weeks ago, when my FIL & Aj went out to buy something at a nearby grocery, and accidentally lost the pacifier. Aj might have spit his binky out of boredom so he dropped it from we don’t know where.

Actually my FIL didn’t notice that Aj’s pacifier was on his mouth when they left the house, so all along he thought that Aj’s binky is safe and sound. It was only after a few hours when they realized that they have lost it.

At first, everyone was hysterical. We were so afraid that Aj might not sleep well that night or every night after that, without his pacifier. (Remember my post when we lost it before at my Mom’s house? They even went out 1 in the morning just to purchase another one. ) So, what we did was we went to the mall and search for a pacifier that looks and feels like Aj’s old binky.

Unfortunately, it was out of stock, so we purchased something like it nalang. But Aj didn’t like it. He emit the new pacifier out of his mouth and just cried. Hay! I thought it will never end. But after a few days (mga 2 days cguro) his binky dependency seems to subside. Now, he sleeps well and even eats well pa! Lalu nga syang tumakaw! Para bang ang food ang nagging outlet nya when he feels the urged of “sucking”.

So there, I’m really thankful that the pacifier was lost and Aj was able to adjust without it for just a couple of days. It was really a “blessing in disguise”. My worries about any dental and speech problems that the pacifier might trigger are also over. Thank God talaga! :)

canada here they come :)

My MIL & FIL plans to visit my SIL who recently gave birth to her first child in Canada. They are really excited to see their first ever “girl” grandchild. They hope to travel by the end of March this year, so they really need to settle things up as early as possible.

One of their unsettled issues is their hotel reservations. Uhuh, they haven’t booked where they are going to stay for the rest of the trip, so as for me who am always online, I was the one assigned to help them resolve what hotel they’ll be staying, the cars they will used etc.

Luckily, I know one site that can help me solve these problems in a zippy! Hotel Reservations.com has it all from booking your hotels, flights, cars, vacation rentals & vacation packages. Plus they offer great hotel discounts and affordable packages worldwide. Not only that, you can also use their complete city guide for your reservation or for planning your trip and call their toll fee hotline to book your trip or a group trip and experience their great discount! With their competitive rates and services you can be sure that you’ll have your best travel ever, worldwide!

So, where else should I reserve them but here. :) I just have to get some information from them in a little while and I’m done.

Can’t wait to booked them up and ask for some “pasalubong” for a job well done. Lol!



i live inside my head?!

I got tagged by Lhen with this blogthing.

Thanks sis!:) Sorry for the long overdue ;)



Your Birthdate: July 16


You’re incredibly introverted and introspective. You live inside your head.

You spend a lot of alone time meditating and thinking.

People see you as withdrawn, and at times they are right.

You are caring and deep, but it may be difficult for you to show this side of yourself.

Your strength: Your original approach to thinking
Your weakness: You tend to shy away from others
Your power color: Pale blue
Your power symbol: Wavy line
Your power month: July

What Does Your Birth Date Mean?

This is really true :) I’m a real shy girl! lol!

Remember my friend Theresa? Yes, the one who was called “Fatsie” by her hubby? Lol! Well, she’s definitely pursued her goal of getting her old body back, she just went to Rodeo Drive last 2 days ago and had her liposuction and tummy tuck scheduled. Yes, she wants a tummy tuck too together with the lipo! Talking about perseverance huh! What did I tell you, she’s really desperate!

Actually her plan was to have some liposuction done first, but when she arrives at Rodeo Drive Plastic Surgery, she saw what a great place and how great their facilities were. So upon consultation, she was also encouraged to undergo abdominoplasty or tummy tuck, where it can solve her post pregnancy tummy problems. After the surgery, they assured that she will definitely have contoured & a smoother belly than before.

Can you believe than the procedure is often done as an outpatient! And with a recovery either at a specialized overnight care center or at home, sometimes with a private duty nurse. It is performed under general anesthesia administered by a physician anesthesiologist to minimize discomfort during the procedure. Wow, aren’t’ they the best or what? If they don’t have the best surgeons in California, I don’t know where else you can find such experts! So, my friend is really on the go! If her surgery with Rodeo Drive will be successful, I think she’s considering of having her breast augmentation too! Lol!

My friend really has the cash and the drive huh!

♥ THEN & NOW ♥

Vannie tagged me with this very nice meme.

Salamat sis, keep tagging me with something like this ha ;)

Anyways, here’s the drill started by Mitch of When Silence Speaks:

If you still keep your baby’s first 3 days photos, We would love to see them. Label them as 1st, 2nd or 3rd day (as shown below). After that, please post the most recent one, one photo will do. You can post as much as you want though. I’m sure you will realize and tell yourself “seems like yesterday“.

I love you so much baby!

Now, I would like to pass this to Jane, Mich, Alpha, Yvette, Kathy & Abie

My hubby’s clan is such a picture buff, as in! They love to take pictures almost every where they go, and mostly they shot them at the comfort of their own house. Which is for me is very essential and very artistic to preserve a special memory, that’s why I’m one of them now. Lol!

Anyways, I just talked to my SIL last night and she was so excited to tell me about their plan to have their family photo (with their new baby girl) taken by the most renowned Mark Oristano- the best Dallas photographer ever.
