Late Night Panic

Last night, nagpanic kami ni hubby dahil kay Ina. You won't believe kung ano ang nagyari!

Here is the kwento:

While I'm doing some paper works, Ian and Chris suddenly went out of the bedroom shouting at the top of their lungs...

Ian and Chris: MOMMY!!! HURRY!!! INA!!!
Me: Why? What happened?
Ian: Ina, got stuck.
Me: Where?
Chris: At the bed!

I rushed to the bedroom and saw Ina dun sa bandang headboard ng bed. She got stuck in between the wooden and metal part ng base ng bed.

I tried pulling her out, pero hindi kaya. Feeling ko mapuputol in half yung katawan ng anak ko dahil sa liit ng gap. I hurriedly called hubby (who is taking a bath) and told him to help me. Pati siya nagpanic na. Nagtapis lang sabay takbo kay Ina. He tried widening the gap so I can pull Ina out, pero wala pa rin.

I told him na kailangan namin kalasin yung bed. So dali dali siyang tumakbo sa garage to get some wrench sa car niya. Habang kinakalas ni hubby ang bed, nasa tabi lang ako ni Ina at kinakalma siya kasi nagpapanic na rin dahil nga na-stuck siya. Finally, nakalas na ang bed at natanggal ko si Ina.

I hugged Ina tightly and checked if na-injure yung bandang belly niya. Thank God, walang injury. Sabi ko sa anak ko, "Anak, ano ba yan? Kaisa isa ka lang na babae namin, huwag ka naman ganyan!"

Haaayyysssttt... Ewan ko ba at kung ano ang naisipan ng anak ko at isiniksik ang sarili sa gap na yun. Hindi ko talaga ma-imagine kung paano siya nagkasya dun. Buti na lang at nasa bahay si hubby, na-heart attack na siguro ako kung ako lang mag-isa.

Pero alam niyo ba, hindi lang first time na-stuck si Ina. May isang incident na na-stuck din siya, pero yung legs lang. Ipinasok dun sa gap ng foot board. Matagal tagal ko rin na-figure out kung paano alisin yung legs niya nun at kung hindi, kailangan ko lagariin yung wood since hindi nakakalas yung part na yun.

Si Ina talaga... Hindi ko alam kung bakit sobrang likot ng anak ko na yan. Kung sino pa ang babae, siya pa ang sobrang likot. Take note, talo niya ang 3 kuya niya sa kalikutan at katapangan.

O siya, tutulog na ako. =)

Wiwi Problem

Hello guys! I'm here again. As much as I wanted to write and write blog entries, hindi ko na magawa. Hindi na talaga kaya ng powers ko eh. Kung makakasingit, I'll try my best to write something. =)

Anyway, I have a problem right now. It's about Ina, my only girl and youngest child. The problem is she is imitating her brothers in peeing! As in if she goes to the CR, she'll put up the toilet seat and stand in front of the toilet and pretend to pee. Parang lalaki lang!

Then, when I try to let her pee by sitting on the toilet seat, pumapalag. Kailangan talaga ng matinding pakiusapan and explanation na she is a girl and she needs to pee that way. And take note, I demonstrate to her pa how to pee. Hahaha!

So ngayon, binilinan ko na ang mga kuya niya to always close the CR door when they pee and not to show Ina how they pee. Haaayyyssttt... Monkey see and monkey do nga naman...

For you moms there who has an only girl, do you or did you experience this also? How do you go about it? Please share naman. =)

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!

Kulilits Moments: Ian & Chris' Latest Conversation

Hello guys! Kamusta na? Long time no hear ano? Well, akala ko lang pala na makakapagblog ako ng madalas nang dumating yung house help namin. Pero, nagkamali ako, with all the kabusy-han ko, 3-day brown out, typhoon and all that, hindi pa rin ako nakapagsulat.

Anyway, I just want to share to you yung latest conversation ng mga Kulilits. Nag-eavesdrop ako sa kanila kanina habang binibihisan ko sila eh. Hahaha!

Chris: Ian, can I borrow the "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" book please po?
Ian: Say Kuya first!
Chris: Kuya Ian, can I borrow the "Jake and the Neverland Pirates" book please po?
Ian: Put on your clothes first!

Tawang tawa talaga ako kanina sa pagkabossy ni Kuya Ian eh. Talagang kuyang kuya ang dating. Tapos si Chris naman, wala talagang magawa, talagang sumusunod siya sa kuya niya. Hehehe.

Speaking of Ian's pagiging kuya. May pahabol kuwento pa pala ako...

Si Christoff kasi, medyo demanding na infant. As in kapag may ginusto siya, dapat masunod. Talagang dadaanin niya sa iyak para makuha niya gusto niya. Tapos kapag hindi mo pinansin, titili yan nang pagkalakas lakas. Yung tipong labas ugat sa leeg levels ba. Ewan ko ba kung bakit ganyan yang batang yan. Yung mga Kulilits naman hindi sila ganyan nung baby sila.

So eto na. Last night, while Christoff is crying out so loud...

Me: Christoff, why are you crying? Mommy is just here. Don't cry like that please. That's not good.

but Christoff did not stop crying...

Ian (with a bossy tone): Christoff, don't cry like a BRAT!


O di ba? San ka pa? Hahaha! Til' next Kulilits moments...

More Kid's Church Arts & Crafts

Sharing you the other works of the Kulilits from the Kid's Church that I documented...

Ang dami right? And super nakakaaliw! I document their works para hindi nakakahinayang if ever idispose ko yung works nila in the future. Ako kasi si senti girl eh. Yung tipong tinatago halos lahat. Sooner or later need ko din talaga magdeclutter eh baka kasi mamaya mapagkamalang museum ang bahay namin. Hehe. =)

Another Picnic Sunday

Since we really enjoyed the experience that we had the first time we went to the football field in Daanghari, we went there again. If you're going to ask when, just don't ask na kasi isa rin ito sa nabaon na kwento ko. Haha. =)

So there we went one Sunday afternoon. And this time, we were prepared na. We brought with us a picnic mat and baon. As in picnic picnic talaga kami. Tapos ang mga boys, pinagjogging pants ko and rubber shoes dahil alam ko na magtatakbuhan sila. Hehe. =) Aside from that, hubby asked my in-laws to join us. Kaya ayun, ang saya saya namin that day.

Here are some of our pictures that day:

So that's it! More kwentos to come...

Artsy Craftsy Kulilits

One nice thing attending our Church, Victory Christian Fellowship (VCF), is that they have a Kids' Church were the Kulilits can attend. At the Kids' Church, they interact with kids their age, they have Bible lessons, they sing praise and worship songs, and they do some arts and crafts.

I just want to share you some of the works of the Kulilits at VCF Kids' Church...

Nice right? 

I'll be posting more soon...

Kulilits Moments: Sali to Sally

During our homeschool this morning, MJ (Kulilits' playmate) looked into our window and asked if he could join us...

MJ: Papasok! (Please let me in!)

Ian and Chris (pointing their fingers to MJ): Mommy, look! MJ!

Me: We can't let him in yet because we are still studying.

MJ (persistent): Sali! Sali ako! (I want to join you!)

Ian (went to the window with his furrowed eyebrows): No, Sally!

MJ (still persistent): Sali! Sali! (I want to join you!)

Chris (went to the window): There is no Sally here. Only Ate Je Ann!

Me (laughing out loud): That's not what he meant. It is "sali" not "Sally". Sali is the Tagalog word for join. MJ wants to join us.

Waaaaahhh!!! Je Ann and I really laughed out loud. The Kulilits thought that MJ was referring to Sally, the house help of my mom. Well, that only means that I need to teach the Kulilits more Tagalog. =)
