Casper Blessing Day

Make a Smilebox photobook

Let's talk about casper being 3months old . . .

Oh its been a while since the last time I updated. There are just so much things I would like to share he could interact with us already. You know, he could response back with that gummy grinny smile




So much things to share but let me show you first some clicp I took when he was 3 months and a week.

Basically, our baby is growing

He could raise his neck longer before..

He can wave both his hands and feet...

He could make noises...

He tries to reach for something...

Its overwhelming when you see your child doing some new things... It's been a wonderful 3 months with our baby. His smile is always been a good thing to start a wonderful day.

Oh geez, I can't wait to see his crawl.

Let's talk about casper being 3months. Just when he was about 3 months old. . .

He really enjoying waving his hands while pumping feet during active hours. His kicks are getting stronger. His hands are trying to reach for something, but he still can't. Although he can now hold his toy for secs. He loves it when i put his toy near him and tries to reach for it. . . and when his holding something. he puts it right away to his mouth. He also loves sucking his finger.






Baby we love so much.You never failed make us smile whener we see or even just about you.

I understand that liers cannot be trusted

I understand that liers cannot be trusted...
Coz they can tell so many lies and one covers another one,
and they never let other know what is really happening,
what really they are thinking, doing,
coz they know that the real things are not allowed to
discover, to tell,
why? why they lie? coz this is the characteristic, and also the
habit,
when a lie appears, another coming, and other, another..........
their minds are very complicated, sometimes terrible,
dont even try to get involved in or try to read their minds, or
will get crazy,
I cannot build up any confidence on a lier as well, I
understand.
Can any one tell me how to trust them?

Galacia 5:22-23

22 Ngunit ang bunga ng Espiritu ay pag-ibig, kagalakan, kapayapaan, pagtitiis, kagandahang loob, kabutihan, pananampalataya,
23 kaamuan, pagpipigil sa sarili. Walang kautusan laban sa mga bagay na ito.

HOW TO CONTROL EMOTIONS

i recieve this message from a friend and i want to share too. . .

Good day! This is a very good reminder for all of us.
This would give you guides on how to control your emotions towards your better-half, friends, officemates and all the people around you, . The rules of practicing " ugaling langit, ugaling kaaya-aya" :

#1 Ang naunang magalit ang may karapatang magalit. Pag naunahan ka na ng galit niya, tumahimik ka na lang muna.

#2 Walang taong nag-aaway mag-isa. Pag hindi kayo sumagot o pumatol, titigil din daw ang taong nakikipag- away sa inyo.

#3 Ang taong galit, 'bingi.' If someone is angry, wala raw pinakikinggan, so, don't try to explain and fight back. Hindi ka niya iintindihin dahil wala siyang naririnig kundi ang sarili nya.

#4 Ang taong galit, 'abnoy.' Ayon sa pastor, Biblical daw ito? because the Lord said when He was crucified, "Father, patawarin mo sila dahil hindi nila alam ang kanilang ginagawa." Modern term for these kinds of people are abnoys, so you better not get angry para huwag kang matawag na abnoy.

You should also know and realize that the persons who make your day bad are jewels , because you need them for you to mature. Hangga't andyan daw sila at kinaiinisan mo, ibig sabihin, immature ka pa. God will not take away those people; it's for you to take away your bad feelings towards them. You'll know na mature ka na pag dumating 'yung time na hindi ka na naiinis sa mga taong ito because you have learned to accept them and to have patience with them.

#5 Finally, the best part of this is to tell yourself na, because of this person, "I will grow mature," and that DAHIL SA CONTRIBUTION NIYA SA MATURITY MO, KUKUNIN DIN SYA NI LORD.

pag ngumiti ka..ibig sabihin, naka relate ka....

Thank you.....

Appreciate all that you do


God sends blessings,

all that you do.

Casper 3 Months Old

Jan 7, 2009

Casper 3 Months Old " HAPPY 3 MONTH OLD baby Casper " grabe super daldal na sya nakakatuwa sya if i talking to him and sinasagot nya ako ng WOOO HOOO HUUU sound he understand me, with a cute smile pa. I wish always like this baby para laging masaya si (mama)

I have so much things to share about our growing Casper but it will just take to much time for me to type. This year, I'll try to update every 3 days or week, even just share some clips or photos.

Before, I couldn't imagine my life with a 3 kid, until we have another one baby hahaha. I had so much dreams for myself. And now I can't imagine my life without my kids. My dreams are not only for myself, but for my family as well. My hubby felt the same way. . .

Oh well, I compiled all the clips I took I made a music video blog.

By the way, I found a new interst which I think will take more of my idle time aside from surfing, uploading pics, downloading music, editing video, updating profile and blogs, ect. . . DIGITAL SCRAPPING. Im still learning and researching about it though but Im excited to do my self digi scrap for my kids. ( am i obsess already?. . .) i try ko na ayusin ang blogs ko para makita nyo rin ang mga photos and video na ginawa ko.



Casper not feeling well. . . . wawaa naman ang baby kow. . . .

Our baby has colds and cough since yesterday .I'm so worried and I pity, everytime he coughs. But Casper is strong, he still can smile and laugh, as if he's ok The only thing he hates is whenever I clean his nose. Im glad thre's a such thing as nose vacuum and cotton buds for baby here, really helps his breath normally.

I'll be more careful now, especially during winter. We went out kasi last New Year,nilamig siya siguro.
Iba talaga feeling ko kapag nagkakasakit ang mga anak ko nag papanict na ako, konting sakit lang, di na mapakali...I tend to forget he's sick whenever he smiles, pero back to being worried naman when he coughs.

It's always better to bring your baby to a Pedia right away before something becomes worse.

Preschoolers:

• I will clean up my toys.
• 
  I will brush my teeth twice a day, and wash my hands after going to the bathroom and before eating.
• 
  I won't tease dogs - even friendly ones.
• I will avoid being bitten by keeping my fingers and face away from their mouths.

Kids, 5- to 12-years-old

• I will drink milk and water, and limit soda and fruit drinks.
• I will apply sunscreen before I go outdoors.
• I will try to stay in the shade whenever possible and wear a hat and sunglasses, especially when I'm playing sports.
• 
  I will try to find a sport (like basketball or soccer) or an activity (like playing tag, jumping rope, dancing or riding my bike) that I like and do it at least three times a week!
• 
  I will always wear a helmet when bicycling.
• 
  I will wear my seat belt every time I get in a car. I'll sit in the back seat and use a booster seat until I am tall enough to use a lap/shoulder seat belt.
• 
  I'll be nice to other kids. I'll be friendly to kids who need friends - like someone who is shy, or is new to my school.
• 
  I'll never give out personal information such as my name, home address, school name or telephone number on the Internet. Also, I'll never send a picture of myself to someone I chat with on the computer without my parent's permission.

Happy 2009!

Kapirasong papel Sa Araw Ng Pasko

“Whenever I see girls and boys selling lanterns on the streets
I remember the Child in the manger as He sleeps
Wherever there are people, giving gifts, exchanging cards
I believe that Christmas is truly in their hearts…”

Kapag naririnig ko ang pamaskong awit na ito, maraming alaala mula sa mga Paskong nagdaan sa aking buhay ang nananariwa sa aking isipan. Totoo na maraming awit na pamasko at maraming bagay ang makapagpapaalaala sa atin sa Pasko gaya ng makukulay na parol, mga kumukuti-kutitap na ilaw ng christmas tree at ng mapanghalinang sipol at amoy ng nilulutong puto-bumbong. Pero ang awit na ito ni Jose Mari Chan tungkol sa mga bata ang naghahatid sa akin sa mga alaala ng isang Paskong hindi mabubura sa aking isipan at kikipkipin sa aking puso hanggang sa kabilang-buhay. Ito ang Pasko ng aking kabataan, ang panahon ng paglalaro at laruan, ng sigla at kapilyuhan. Ito ang panahon ng kamusmusan, ng kalinisan ng pag-iisip at ng tunay at walang dungis na pagmamahal.

Sa Pasay City kami nakatira noon. Nasa grade 5 ako at nasa grade 3 naman ang kapatid kong sumunod sa akin at ang bunso namin ay grade 1, wala pa ang kapatid namin kambal noon. Mahilig magluto si Mommy at nag cacatering din siya lalo na kapag merong mga bisitang galing ibang bansa ang mga friends nya siya lagi ang tinatawag. Nasa tapat ng simbahan ng San Roque ang aming bahay sa Cabrera st., kaya tanaw namin ang lahat ng tao pag nag sisimba lalo na ang Simbang gabi napakasaya namin dahil kita namin ang ibat ibang ilaw ng simbahan at sari-saring pagkain na paninda.

Tradisyon na ng pamilya ang magdiwang ng noche buena tuwing Pasko. Gumigising talaga kaming lahat pagsapit ng alas-dose ng gabi upang pagsaluhan ang napakasarap na pagkaing inihanda ni Mommy. Tsampyon talaga siyang magluto, tyampion yata sa cooking ang mommy ko. Masaya naming ipinagdiriwang ang pagsilang ni Hesus.



Ay naku, talaga namang kahit mumukat-mukat at mamuta-muta pa kami ay masisigla kaming nagsalu-salo nang noche buenang iyon. Gaya ng dati, nawala agad ang aking antok dahil sa mapanggising na amoy at lasa ng pagkaing nakaparada sa mesa—ispagheting napapalamutian ng maraming meatballs, chicken macaroni salad na namumutiktik sa mga himaymay ng manok, orange chiffon cake na nangingintab sa makapal na butter icing, hamon na pinaniningning ng honey syrup, fruit salad na nakukulayan ng ubas, pinya at mansanas, cheese sandwich na pinamumula ng pimiento at umuusok na tsokolateng maraming-maraming Milo. Haaay, tsalap-tsalap talaga.

Pagkakain, buong pananabik naming tatlong magkakapatid na tinungo ang Christmas tree upang kunin at buksan ang regalo ni Mommy para sa bawat isa sa amin kaya naiwan na naman siya sa kusina para maghimpil at maghugas ng aming mga kinainan. Matagal din naming inasam-asam na mabuksan ang mga regalong iyon na araw-araw naming hinihimas-himas, kinakalug-kalog, pinagtitimbang-tmbang at hinuhulaan kung ano ang laman.

Habang nagpapakaligaya kami sa natanggap naming regalo, nagrereklamo naman si Mommy sa kusina—”Sus, talaga kayong mga bata kayo, matapos kayong mapalamon e lalayasan na lamang ninyo ako. Ni Hindi man lamang ninyo ako matulungang magligpit ng kinainan, ako pa ang paghuhugasin ninyo ng mga pinggan, huhummm…Ay naku, wala na palang tubig na panghugas! Mamayang umaga na lang ako mag-iigib sa poso. Mamaya na lang ang mga pinggang iyan.” Well iyan po ang aking mommy super maingay sa loob ng bahay pero ang ingay na iyan ang nagpapasaya sa aming tahanan, mga paalaala nya, sermon doon sermon dito. Pag wala ang ingay nayan super lungkot ng aming tahanan.

Kapirasong Papel

Naisip ko na lahat kami me mga regalo galing sa aking mommy pero siya! hindi manlang namin na alaala na bigyan ng regalo. Napaawa ako sa aking mommy kaya napag-usapan naming magkakapatid na kami nalang ang maghuhugas at maglilinis ng buong bahay at kusina. Natulog na si mommy ko,- pero kaming tatlong magkakapatid ehh... kunyari lang na nagtulog-tulugan para makapag linis kami ng buong bahay. Habang tulog ang mommy namin ehh,.. kami naman ang naglinis ng buong bahay! lahat malinis na malinis kusina, salas at derty kichen ect.

Tumitilaok na ang mga manok ng aming kapit bahay ng magising ang aking mommy at lumabas na siya sa kanyang kwarto, ako lang sa aming tatlong magkakapatid ang hindi na natulog dahil gusto kong makita ang mukha ng aking ina kung gaano siya kasaya sa aming ginawa. Gulat na gulat ang aking ina. Tanong nya agad sino ang gumawa nito?! wala naman dito ang katulong natin! umuwi naba siya?! Nakita ng mommy ko na nakaupo ako sa salas namin at napangiti siya, parang nahulaan na nya kung sino ang naglinis ng buong bahay namin at sabay niyakap niya ako ng mahigpit. Sinabi ko sa kanya na pinag tulungan naming tatlong magkakapatid ang paglilinis ng buong bahay.

Niyakap ako ng aking ina at nagpasalamat siya sa akin.- Niyakap ko rin siya at sinabi ko sa kanya na "maligayang pasko mommy" pasensya na kayo wala manlang kaming naibigay sa inyong regalo, kundi ang kapirasong papel na ito!. Gumawa kami ng x'mas card at ang ginamit naming papel ay yung white paper, wala na kaming oras pa para makabili pa sa labas ng x'mas card. Tuwang tuwa ang mommy ko sa ginawa namin lalo na sa ibinigay naming x'mas card. Akala daw nya ehh... nakalimutan na namin siya!. Masaya ang aking ina kahit ano ang ibigay mo sa kanya, kahit kapirasong papel lang ito!, lagi nyang ipinag mamalaki sa mga kaibigan nya ang mga bigay namin sa kanya na letter or kahit na anong bagay na galing sa aming magkakapatid.

Ngayon alam ko na ang pakiramdam ng isang ina kapag nabibigyan ng kahit kapirasong papel letter galing sa kanyang mga anak, naramdaman ko narin ang pakiramdam ng mommy ko ng inaabot ko sa kanya ang card na ginawa naming tatlong mag-kakapatid, dahil sa mga anak ko naman ngayon ang gumagawa sa akin ng dati kong ginagawa sa aking ina. Meron man o walang okasyon mabigyan kalang ng simpleng bagay galing sa ating mahal sa buhay, ito ay nagiging isang napaka gandang alaala at napakahalaga na sa ating buhay.

“Let’s sing Merry Christmas
and a Happy Holiday
this season may we never forget
the love we have for Jesus.
Let Him be the one to guide us
as another New Year starts
and may the spirit of Christmas
be always in our hearts…

Casper 2 Months Old

Our baby is developing so fast. He's already two months old since December 7.

He can now sleep through the night although sometimes he wakes up when he's hungry but fells asleep after 5-10 mins of feeding. There are times when he just want to suck my breast for comfort or security I guess then falls asleep right away. He has his own style of sucking and that makes us laugh sometimes.

He makes us pretty tires sometimes, with all that crying, changing diaphers, feeding ect, because baby has bio rythms too, but you know, when you see that little gummy grin makes it all worthwhile. I was the one saw his first smile, it was when I was so tired from cleaning the house then he waked up crying maybe because of bad dream, then when he calmed down, he stared at me and suddenly showed that real real real smile... god, I was so happy and got excited. Since then, he smile back to us when we look at him... Sometimes it's his smile that I can see first when i wake up in the morning, and his papa when he comes home from his work, our bonding time before I make breakfast or brucnh. He really makes our day.

He makes sounds when we talk to him. He can now call our attention when we're doing our thing by that "ahhhhhs,". Sometimes he wakes me up in the morning with his noise... a very good thing to start a wonderful day.

He kicks and waves his hands when he's happy even when he's just alone in the bed staring those stuff toys.

He's now poopooing regularly, sometimes twice a day. We've discovered a techique for that We know when he's finished because he makes noise afterwards.

He's becoming heavier. sakit na nga ng balikat ko when I carry him, but I don't care, I love cuddling him especially when he's in the mood.

He's so kawaii... (cute)

(wala pa akong ma i share na new pictures ng baby ko kasi na sira ang digicam ko...kakainis talaga, wait pa ako the next sahod ng husband ko)

6 days to go. . .

Our baby Casper will turned 2 months on Dec 7…Of course, my family will celebrate it.

Good thing about working or tumira sa ibang bansa is you learn, practice and enjoy two different culture. In Japan, they usually bring their baby to a Shinto shrine on the 31 st day after the birth a baby boy, and 32nd day for a baby girl for introduction and first contact with the gods. A shinto priest performs this ceremony to ward off evil and give blessings of good health. A baby is dressed in kimono or a white gown. Our baby wore a white gown i bought here online shopping hihihi…

However, We planning to have his Christening here in Japan this month na!… (sana matuloy). I’m excited na!. I’ll see to it that all our Pilipino friends in church will be present on that day. It would also be his first time to meet his grandmother and unti Hazel my (husband family). It would be fun for sure, kids will be all over inside the church again, like when i was still a kid,this time,it’s his generation.

It’s been almost 2 months since i gave birth to Casper, and yet i still get teary eyed whenever i think about the day i was admitted to the hospital until the day he was born. It definitely the hardest and sweetest pain i have ever experience, the most unforgettable memorable moment of our life. Now, i really do believe in miracle, it was an unimaginable scene.

I cannot blog further the things happened during that time FOR NOW i’m starting to get emotional again…

Right now, my baby is sleeping, my husband at work, my eldest in the school and my lilgirl bunso etoh watching her favorite Japanese cartoons. I’m just thankful that my husband is very supportive and responsible. We getting big family now and i will do my best to be a good mom and a wife.

I’ll share more next time when i have a chance, coz you know, im a all hands mom. I would like to thanks everybody, my gurl friends, friends, loveones my family and even my online friends, my blogsmates.

Thanks for your warm messages for me and my baby Casper.

mareee!!! angelica v. your next to me na!!! hihi…i know excited ka narin spcly first time mong magka baby. Goodluck to you at sa baby mo. Balitaan nalang tayo.

Salamat sa pag welcome.I’m so touched….
