My Rocking Cradle

The first ultrasound I ever had was when I was 6 weeks pregnant with my Little Dynamo. Luckily, my OB-Gyne in Makati (Philippines) was also a licensed Sonologist. I learned later on from my doctor-friend that not all Obstetrician/Gynecologist (OB-Gyne) can perform ultrasound. One has to have a license to be an Ob-Gyne Sonologist.
The above came to [...]

If there’s one thing I have learned from the health forums I visited recently, it is this: balance your trust on your doctor with your mother’s instinct.
A baby or a toddler who has recurring fever may be diagnosed with pharyngitis or throat infection. Doctors always say not to worry as pharyngitis is common to babies and [...]

I couldn’t imagine what life is in Afghanistan. Particularly as a woman, what could be in there for you?
I haven’t read many literature on Afghanistan but I have read and heard mostly negative news because of the Taliban’s activities. In my mind, Afghanistan is Osama bin Laden’s hide-out. It is a place where terrorists are trained and terrorist [...]

My Little Dynamo loves to watch Super Why.
The school bus drops him off at 3pm in the house, then he would eat his snack and watch Super Why at 3:30pm before having his nap. He would sing to the Super Why song. Sometimes, he would say he is Super Why with the power to read.
As much [...]

As a parent, your children’s joy can be the sole source of your happiness. That’s why it is imperative to be always on the look out for new and fun activities for kids and toddlers. Toys at home may no longer be enough to stimulate kids and encourage their desire to move around and explore [...]

I didn’t know that July is Malaysia’s S-A-L-E season. So, everywhere we went we see this:

Why the inverted spelling? I didn’t avail of the SALE season, that’s why! My fault, really. Prices are down up to 70%. So, I kept on looking for more bargains. Tsk. Tsk. I got hold of a beautiful Nine West bag [...]

I haven’t eaten siomai for quite sometime. Actually, any kind of dimsum would have been heavenly!
This siomai craving (not just mine, but also my hubby’s) started during our trip to Beijing last year. We were so excited to eat siomai, or any kind of dimsum for that matter. Surprise of surprises! Nada! We haven’t eaten [...]

Almost all Filipina pregnant women crave for green mangoes during their first trimester.
I haven’t seen any green mangoes here in Seoul, not even in the Philippine Store in Itaewon. I see ripe mangoes, sure! but no green mangoes in sight.
While we were in Kuala Lumpur, we passed by the grocery section of KLCC Suria and [...]

There are so many lists of the tallest buildings in the world. They have all kinds of categories. Check out google to understand what I mean.
Anyway, the tallest building I saw is the Petronas Twin Towers on a recent vacation in Kuala Lumpur. It has 88 storeys and stands at 452 meters above street level. It [...]

I came across this movie teaser just now.

I love how Bea Alonzo delivers her lines in this teaser. I am looking forward to watching the movie. Betch, are you reading? Hehehe.
I think the girl has honed her acting skills. She was good to start with, just a little bit over-acting in her earlier movies at times. [...]
