Gastos na Naman

Kahit anong iwas mo talaga sa gastos, kusang lumalapit ito ano?

This morning, sa lahat naman talaga ng masisira, yung telephone shower pa. And guess who broke it? 

... Oh yes... Mr. Roy Christoff a.k.a. Cheryll Jr. (Mana raw sa akin sa kalikutan at pagiging destructive! Hahaha!)

How did it happen?

Well, while Chris and Christoff were taking a bath this morning, napikon itong si Christoff sa kuya niya kaya hinagis ang telephone shower sa floor. So I went inside the bathroom...

Me: What happened?

Chris: Christoff, wants to go out the bath area and he doesn't want me to wet him.

Me: Then?

Chris: Then he threw this... (showing the telephone shower)

Me: Christoff, how many times did I tell you to stop throwing things whenever you feel bad? Look at this, what if you broke this? We need to spend again just to fix this right?

Then, when I turned on the water, water came out of the handle too. All the while, I thought the connection was just loose. May padrama drama at mega-explanation pa ako na what if kung nasira niya... Yun pala, basag na talaga!

Oh my Roy talaga! Kamot ulo na lang ako...

Christoff's First Time at Kids Church

Last Sunday, I told hubby that I'll bring Christoff to Kids Church. Gusto ko na kasi siya masanay with other kids around. Aside from that, he's 3 years old already so I think it's about time to bring him there.

With Christoff, medyo tough ang pagdala sa kanya sa Kids Church. He's the playful type kasi. Tapos yung play niya, rough talaga. That is why I accompanied him inside. Kailangan ko muna bantayan at baka kasi maya't maya magflash ng pangalan niya sa screen.

So ayun na nga. I went with him inside. Nakaupo lang ako sa tabi. At first, during the praise and worship of the kids, he is participating naman. Enjoy si kulit! He is singing and dancing with the other kids.

Eto na... Nung pinaupo na lahat ng kids para sa class rules, nabore na si kulit. He is already starting to create attention from other kids. May sinasandalan... May tinutulak... May kinukurot... Panay saway ko! Na-stress talaga ako! There was a point na may tinulak siya na masmalaki sa kanya. Ayun, binalikan siya. Eh pikon, tinulak niya ulit. Bago pa magkapikunan, kinuha ko na siya. Kinausap ko to stop doing what he is doing kung hindi ilalabas ko siya sa Kids Church.

Tinabi ko siya sa mga kuya niya. Ang bwinibwisit naman yung mga kuya niya. Ang kulit lang talaga. For him kasi, yung mga ginagawa niya is play lang.

Tapos nung may activity kung saan nag-ask ng volunteer yung teacher, gusto niya siya rin. Nung hindi siya napasama, pinuntahan yung napili tapos inagaw yung glass na may liquid. Natapunan tuloy yung bata. Muntik na umiyak! Pinasorry ko siya, nagsorry naman si kulit.

Dahil ayaw ko na ng trouble pa, tinabihan ko na until they were grouped according to age.

When he was with the kids of his age, he was doing well naman. He is participating sa mga activities and he is answering naman the teacher's questions. Sadyang maharot lang talaga, kaya may times na kinukulit yung katabi niya.

During crafts time, he did his work on his own. Nakakatuwa panuorin kasi gumagawa talaga siya and he even shouted "Finish!" While showing his work to his teacher.

Here is his work...

During snack time, kain din siya. Nakakahiya lang kasi parang PG (patay gutom) siy kumain. As in namumuwalan! Hahaha!

After that, play play naman sila kaya kita ko sa kanya na nag-eenjoy siya sobra.

Maya maya, may mga parents na na dumating to get their kids. Eh nataon na yung teacher nila ang in-charge sa pagtawag ng kids. In other words, no activities na for their group. Ayan na naman si kulit! Na-bore na naman! Ang siste niya, tatayo sabay takbo then tatalunan yung nakaupo niyang girl classmate! Oh my talaga! Yung ginagawa niyang harot sa mga kuya niya, ginawa niya dun sa girl. Eh ampayat pa naman. Pinag-sorry ko siya. Buti na lang at hindi umiyak yung bata.

Kaya ayun, bago pa makasakit, nilabas ko na.

Na-stress talaga ako sa anak ko na iyan. Sa kambal, wala akong naging problema eh. Haaaayyysssttt. Iba-iba talaga ang mga bata. Mukhang ilang Linggo pa akong sasama kay Christoff sa Kids Church. I really have to make sure na mawala ang pagiging maharot niya bago ko siya iwan ng tuluyan. I believe na darating din yung time na he'll behave well.

So that's it!

Ransacked!!!

I have two toddlers now in the house - Ina and Christoff! You can't just imagine the trouble these two make when they are together. As in grabe!

Totoo pala the saying na you should be wary whenever your kids are quiet. Quiet, meaning yung tipong hindi mo naririnig na naghaharutan or bigla na lang huminto ang pag-iingay. It means pala na may ginagawa nang kababalaghan.

Like one night, while I was busy preparing dinner, one of the twins went to me and told me that something terrible happened. When I went to our room, this is what I saw...

OMG talaga! Nilabas yung mga damit sa cabinet namin! Minsan talaga feeling ko matatanggalan na ako ng turnilyo sa ulo eh. Hahaha!

Christmas Came Too Early for Us

This blog post is supposed to be last last week pa... pero, as usual, nabaon lang sa aking drafts folder. Super duper busy talaga (yun naman talaga ang ultimate reason ko why I haven't blogged that much the past few months eh) plus I'm still adjusting my schedule since the birth of Ina plus Christmas season pa. Huhuhu! Kulang talaga ang 24 hours eh...


Anyway, I think we've been good this year. Ang aga kasing dumating ng pasko sa amin eh. Specially to my boys.


Bakit kamo? One Sunday, bigla na lang naisipan ng kanilang Papa G na ipagshopping sila...


Here are their gifts from their Papa G:


Light sabers and Spiderman figures for the twins and Darthvader Mr. Potato Head for Christoff...

Tablets for the boys...

Mahabang kwento yan kaya nabigyan ng mga tablets ang mga boys. Actually, gusto ko talaga irequest kay Papa G na tablets na lang ang ibigay na Christmas gift sa twins. They'll be using it kasi for their studies eh. As homeschoolers, they'll be having portfolio reviews (A portfolio review is equivalent to an examination). Since it's too much, na shy shy ako magrequest. Kaya, instead of requesting for a new one, nagtanong na lang ako sa kanya if he is still using his tablet PC...

Me: Daddy, yung tablet PC na pareho kayo ni mommy ginagamit mo pa ba?

Papa G: Oo, bakit?

Me: Ah... akala ko hindi mo na ginagamit. hihingin ko na lang sana kasi para sa kambal, gagamitin kasi nila sa school para sa portfolio review presentation nila. Yung iPad ko sana ang ipapagamit ko kaso lang bumigay na, biglang ayaw na mag-on.

Papa G: Meron ako yung Galaxy Tab, yun na lang. Ipaalala mo sa akin para madala ko.

Me: Ok. Thank you daddy!

So nung binigay na niya sa akin yung Galaxy Tab, I immediately installed some educational apps then pinagamit ko na sa mga boys. Nung nakita ni Papa G na all the 3 boys are taking turns sa pag gamit ng tablet, bigla na lang sinabi na bibilhan na lang niya yung kambal ng tablets para isa isa na sila and para di mag-away. Pero may condition yun, dapat may oras ang pag gamit and hindi madalas. Siyempre, I agreed to the condition kasi personally ganun naman talaga ang gagawin ko. Ayaw ko siyempre masanay sila sa video games and mas maganda pa rin yung may physical interaction.

Wait! Wait! May naalala lang ako. May funny conversation kami ng dad ko while buying the tablets.

Me: Grabe talaga ha, nung bata kami,

Papa G: ngingiti ngiti

Me: Bakit ka ngingiti ngiti daddy?

Papa G: Wala... Ang lakas mo talaga sa akin... May toys and tablets na ang mga anak tapos may kotse ka pa!

Me: Hmmm... Ang lakas kamo ng mga apo mo sa iyo!

Octagon OIC: Pwede po bang maging apo niyo na rin ako sir?

Hahaha! Nakakatawa yung OIC ng Octagon, nag-papaampon! Tapos si daddy, ako raw itong malakas sa kanya, pero sa totoo yung mga apo naman talaga niya ang malakas sa kanya at di matiis. =)

Then nung pabalik na kami ng parking, biglang naglambing si Ian kay Papa G. Ayaw sumama sa amin, gusto kay Papa G lang. Eh may dinner parents ko with my Ninong at City of Dreams. Di niya natiis ang apo niya, isasama na lang daw niya. Eh sabi ko paano yun, walang dalang extra clothes, ibibili na lang daw niya. Kaya ayan, may new polo si Ian at pati si Chris binilhan din...

And may pahabol pa, toy cars from Petron...



Kaya look at my boys, they were very happy with the gifts that they received from Papa G that day...

Of course, ako rin may blessing... naging maaga rin ang pasko ko... kasi my brother gave me a new cellphone... Akala ko nagbibiro lang, serioso pala...

Thank you Papa G and to my brother Paolo dahil napaaga niyo ang pasko naming mag-iina! Mwah! Mwah! Mwah! =)





My Children: Blessing and Gift from God

In the Bible, it is written in Psalm 127:3 that children are a blessing and gift from the Lord. That is really true and I can attest to that! =)

To give you a brief background, my husband and I were having a hard time conceiving during our first few years as a married couple. It came to the point that we had ourselves tested which made us somehow lose our hope of having a child because we found out that I have PCOS (polycystic ovary syndrome) and hubby has a low sperm count.

Then on our fourth year as a married couple, a BIG surprise came. I couldn't believe it that we were already pregnant not only with one but two babies. Alam niyo yun, sobrang nakakaiyak kasi we were only asking for one but God gave us two kaagad unexpectedly because, honestly speaking, we weren't trying anymore. And guess what? They came out on February 1. A perfect gift for our 5th year wedding anniversary.

For our next baby naman, come what may na ang thinking namin because I'm not sure again if I could still conceive kasi nga hirap kami gumawa before. Surprisingly, after 2 years, we became pregnant again. We were really hoping for a baby girl para sana quota na dahil nga tumatanda na kami. But I think God has another plan for us that's why he gave us another boy. And guess what? He came out on December 16. A perfect Christmas gift to us!

For our "last" baby ("last" kasi di pa sure kung last na talaga. LOL!), medyo napaaga kasi ang dating niya. Pangit man pakinggan, siya ay unplanned. Ayaw ko pa sana sundan si Christoff eh kasi wala pang 2 y/o. Iniisip ko kasi na baka di ko siya masyadong matutukan or baka mabale wala ko dahil busy ako sa pag-homeschool sa twins tapos siyempre ang baby alagain din. Pero siyempre, sino naman ako para magreklamo di ba? Ang baby blessing yan. Malay natin, maging future president yan o di kaya ang maging suwerte sa buhay namin. Anyway, our last baby is finally a girl. Katuparan din ng wish namin mag-asawa. And guess what? She came out on October 22. Of course, a perfect birthday gift for me. And hindi lang yun, magkabirthday pa kami!

Di ba ang ganda ng mga birthday nila? Laging may special occasion na katapat. =)

Stressful Friday

Homeschooling is not that easy, I tell you. Kaya if you decide that you'll homeschool your kids, dapat buo na talaga ang loob mo and ready ka.

In my case, what make homeschooling more challenging are:

• I homechool twins (and they are both boys) - yes, dalawa dalawa sila that I teach everyday. Minsan sabay, minsan isa isa. It really depends on the subject. Pero take note, dalawa pa lang yan. Soon magiging apat na sila (Christoff and baby no. 4). Pero I know naman na kakayanin ko because I know of some homeschooling families, na more than five silang nag-aaral. Sooner and later naman, I know na magiging magaan na sa akin. Right now, tutok since they are in their preschool years. When they reach gradeschool, most likely, guidance na lang ang gagawin ko.
• I still have a toddler (and soon an infant, again) - that is Christoff! He is really malikot and sometimes tends to be so clingy and demanding. Sabi ko nga eh, talo pa niya yung kambal. When Chris and Ian were 1 y/o, hindi sila ganyan kalikot. Let me say, x2 or x3 siya ng kambal!
• I don't have a househelp - I do everything in the house (except laba't plantsa). Imagine niyo na lang ako na parang trumpo sa umaga because most of the household chores, I do it in the morning while the kids are still asleep.
• I'm pregnant - supposedly, limited dapat ang galaw ko. Pero in my case right now, parang hindi ako buntis kung kumilos. 
• I have a lot of paperworks (accounting for hubby's practice) - need kong tutukan ito. Need ko para sa mga BIR requirements and para sa pagbudget namin.

Actually, we are doing great in homeschooling. Sabi nga ng teacher/consultant during the twins' mid-year assessment, nakakatuwa kami dahil umpisa pa lang success story na. In fact, by next year (April 2015), isasama na ang kambal sa moving up. Meaning, grade 1 na sila at 5 years old pa lang.

Pero sa totoo lang, hindi everyday happy. May araw siyempre na medyo pre-occupied ako sa dami ng iniisip na gagawin ko, minsan not in the mood ako or di kaya yung kambal. Like last Friday, super stressed out ako sa kambal. Bakit kamo? Naku, mukhang hindi husto ang tulog nila at mukhang tinatamad mag-aral. I actually told them na we stop na and we'll just continue it the following day. Pero sila naman ang ayaw mag-stop. They want daw to study pa. Kaya ayun, 4 hours mahigit kami for just 1 subject! Imagine that!!! Tapos, si Christoff sumabay pa! Kung kailan di cooperative ang mga kuya, dun pa nag-ngangangawa at hindi mo alam kung ano ang gusto. Haaayyysssstttt.... 

Literally, I became a MOMSTER that day. Sobrang nanginginig ako sa galit (I'm not perfect, tao lang ako at nauubos din ang pasensya). I know that they know what we were studying that time. They were just pretending na hindi nila alam. Yung tipong, tinatamad mag-isip. Lam niyo yun. At eto pa, nung nagalit na ako ng husto, biglang bumilis ang mga utak! With Chris, in less than 10 minutes, natapos kaagad namin. Then nung tinawag ko na si Ian, ang bilis din then may comment pa siya na "I'm fast in homeschooling!" after namin matapos kaagad. Eto pa ang matindi, nung gabi, nagyaya sila magdraw. So nadatnan sila ng daddy nila na nagdradraw. At etong si Ian, nag-draw ng Spiderman then i-spell daw niya ang Spiderman and he'll write it down sa drawing niya. Ayun nga, ginawa niya mag-isa. Nag-spell mag-isa na mabilis. Sabi ko nga sa daddy nila, "Tignan mo yang anak mo na yan, yan yung lesson namin kanina eh. Kanina, kunwari di alam, tapos ngayon, mag-isang nag-spelling at marunong naman!" 

Anyway, tapos na yun. I hope hindi na maulit ulit dahil nakakasira talaga ng bait eh. I said sorry already to my kids because I lost my patience and yelled at them. They said sorry din to me for not doing well in homeschooling. 

At the end of the day,parang walang naganap na drama, back to our usual selves na kami. Yun naman ang mahalaga eh di ba? At least, alam ko lumipas ang sama ng loob namin sa isa't isa...

I'm Scared to Death Last Friday

Last Friday, I was really scared to death. Sabi ko nga kay hubby, sa tala ng buhay ko dun lang ako natakot ng husto. Iba pala talaga kapag anak mo na ang pinag-uusapan ano?

Ganito kasi yan... Last Wednesday morning, nag-start na magfever si Christoff. We were closely monitoring him and nacocontrol naman namin ang fever niya through paracetamol and wet towel. Then last Friday morning, may swimming lesson ang kambal and mukhang uulan, so I decided to leave him at home na lang tutal naman our plantsadora (Sally) was there to watch over him and he didn't have a fever na naman that time.

For about 1 1/2 hours we were out of the house then when we came back kinamusta ko kaagad si Christoff. Sally told me na inaantok na raw si Christoff and patulog na (Sally was just infront of Christoff sewing something).

Knowing Christoff, nag-rereact kaagad yan sa voice ko kahit ano pang antok niya. So I found it weird na hindi man lang ako sinalubong. I immediately went close to him and called his name. Hindi man lang nagrerespond sa tawag ko ang anak ko and hindi gumagalaw (He was in a curled up position). Kinabahan na ako, kaya kinuha ko siya kaagad. Paghawak ko pa lang, ramdam ko na sobrang inaapoy na sa lagnat si Christoff. Tapos hindi man lang siya gumagalaw. Alam niyo yun, parang tigas na tigas. Nung nakita ko yung legs and arms niya, sobra namang lamig and nangingitim na and nanginginig siya. Kaya dali dali ko siyang inakap para mabigyan ko ng human heat then I tried to keep him conscious. Sobrang natakot pa ako dahil yung eyes niya parang gusto niyang ipikit. Kinausap ko siya ng kinausap na sabi ko don't close his eyes. Then I got a wet towel at pinunasan ko siya.

At eto pa, I tried to keep my calm as much as possible para di ako magpanic. Si Sally ba naman, bigla pa sasabihin na "Ma'am Che, si Christoff, nangingitim na ang labi!" Sino ba naman ang hindi lalo matatakot di ba? Kaya sabi ko  "Wag kang ganyan Sally!" Umiiyak na talaga ako that time. Kung anu ano na ang sumasagi sa isipan ko. Alam niyo yun, sobrang takot na takot ako na baka anong masama ang mangyari kay Christoff.

After ko mapunasan si Christoff, I tried to breastfeed him. Buti naman at nagsuck siya. Medyo nakampante ako dahil nagrespond siya. Then I called na my mom and husband to tell them what was happening that time and to tell them that I'll bring na Christoff to the hospital.

I brought Christoff to Perpetual Help Hospital since yun na ang pinakamatinong hospital na malapit sa house namin. When we were there, when the nurses tried to check his vital signs, umiyak na siya and nanlaban. Dun lang talaga ako nakampante ng todo dahil umiyak siya. Kasi all the time tahimik lang siya eh and walang kibo. Sabi ko nga eh, mas gugustuhin ko pa yung iyak ng iyak kesa yung tahimik lang na di ko alam kung ano na nangyayari sa kanya.

Anyway, they got some blood and urine samples from him para makita yung cause ng fever niya. Ang hirap pala panuorin yung anak mo na iyak ng iyak habang kinukuhaan ng dugo ano? Awang awa ako that time kay Christoff. Buti na lang at magaling yung med tech dahil one shot lang siya.

Moving forward... The doctor was considering if it was just a chill or a seizure (kombulsyon). Hindi ko kasi nawitness kung ano talaga ang nangyari eh. Nadatnan ko na lang na ganun siya. If kombulsyon daw, possible na tapos na yung episode nung nakita ko. At ang weird pa dahil wala man lang nakita sa mga exams na ginawa sa kanya. So possible na viral siya.

Dapat icoconfine siya but hubby decided that we'll just closely monitor him at home. Kaya ayun, that late afternoon, we went out na rin sa hospital.

Guess where we went after? We went to our manghihilot to check if Christoff has a pilay or bati (usog). It turned out na may bati si Christoff. Ang lakas daw ng nakausog sa kanya. Matandang babae daw. I remembered that we were at the football training of the twins the night before and bigla na lang siya nilagnat kinabukasan ng madaling araw. Ewan ko, there's nothing wrong naman siguro kung maniwala kami sa mga faith healers di ba? Anything, gagawin namin, para lang gumaling ang mga anak namin. Kayo ba, do you believe in such things?

Anyway, yun yung happenings last Friday na sobrang nakapagtaranta sa akin. Imagine, for just 1 1/2 hours lang ako nawala, ganun na nangyari kay Christoff. All the while, akala lang ni Sally natutulog si Christoff, yun pala naninigas na. What if nahuli ang dating ko? Buti na lang at nandyan lang si God. May guidance siya. Para bang binulungan ako that time.

Moral of the story: Never ever leave any of my sons if they are sick. Dapat closely monitored talaga! Iba pa rin ang pagbabantay ng ina.

So that's it! Everything is ok now. We had Christoff checked by his pedia and it turned out that he had Roseola. He is back to his normal state now - malikot and matakaw! We really thank God for always being there with us.

Goodnight everyone! =)

Christoff's 1st Birthday Party: Party Stylist and Candy Buffet - Kids Party Hub

Hello there again! I'm not yet done with my son's 1st birthday series. Sorry naman! Haha!

Anyway, for Christoff's birthday party, I got an event's stylist. Gaya nga ng sinabi ko before, ayaw ko na kasi ma-stress. The event's stylist really did a big help sa party. Nagkakulay ang place and nagpadagdag sa saya ng party.

My supplier is Kids Party Hub. Very professional ang may-ari which is Christine Cordero. Super bait niya and wala na talaga akong inintindi. =)

I got the events styling with dessert and candy buffet package. It includes the welcome banner, backdrop, centerpiece and dessert & candy buffet.

Let me show you some of the pictures:

The welcome banner...

Medyo nahirapan sila dito patayuin since mahangin yung place kaya may mga stones sa ilalim. Hehe.


The backdrop...

The centerpiece...

I really loved the centerpiece because it's very personalized. There are different pictures kasi of Christoff in each table which serves as souvenir na rin.


The dessert and candy buffet...

The dessert & candy buffet was really a hit at Christoff's party. Tuwang tuwa ang mga guests ko dito. At first, I'm really wondering bakit hindi nila ginagalaw. Pero nung nag-announce na ako na pwede silang kumuha. Aba, biglang dinumog. Malaman laman ko, inaabangan pala nila talaga! Hehehe!


The items in the dessert & candy buffet...

Ang nice and cute ano?

Christoff's 1st Birthday Party: Pre-Party at Seda Nuvali

The day before the birthday party of Christoff, we stayed at Seda Nuvali. It's a hotel located very near the party venue. We stayed in a hotel for 3 reasons: (1) we live in Las Pinas and we don't want to be in a hurry going to the party venue; (2) it's a nice place to shoot the preparation of Christoff; and (3) we went to PHA South Chapter Christmas party the night before the party which was held at Ayala Westgrove Heights Clubhouse.

Why Seda Nuvali?

There are a lot of hotels located in Sta. Rosa such as Paseo Premiere Hotel,  Microtel and El Cielito Hotel but we still chose Seda Nuvali because, like what I've said earlier, it's located in Nuvali which is very near Treveia and we already had a good experience in staying at other Seda Hotel, Seda Bonifacio Global City in particular.

Sakto rin that time because they have holiday promo. We only paid P4,500.00 nett for an overnight stay with breakfast for two with a free use of all their amenities. Not bad na di ba?

Here's a quick tour of Seda Nuvali:

The hotel's facade...

The lobby...

Reception area...

Mac computers with high-speed internet for guests' use...

Al Fresco area...

The outdoor pool...

At the back of the hotel...

Play room for kids...

*For the play room, I suggest that they add some toys and some selection of videos for the kids para mas enjoy ang mga kids to stay there.

Game room for those who love video games...

Our room:

We chose a king size bed...

The dresser/work area...

Mini bar...

The bathroom...

The  Misto Lobby Dining where we ate our breakfast...

Vast selection for breakfast...

Overall, we had a great stay at Seda Nuvali - good place, good food and good people. Sobrang sulit yung binayad namin. Hindi kami nagsisisi na dito kami nag-stay. =)

Guys, if you want a weekend getaway na medyo near lang, highly recommended ang Seda Nuvali!

That would be all for now, I'll get ready for Church na. Happy weekend!
