Before I even worry and get confused about a number of prenatal vitamins available in the market today, I am already confused on which version of Chinese Calendar to follow in order for us to concieve a baby boy! 
A number of my friends actually followed the Chinese Calendar and were very accurate with the results but there has been some differences in the interpretations of these calendars. For some, lunar age should be considered, for the rest, regular human age would do. There’s even a different interpretation on the months itself since it would also have to follow the chinese charts. In reality, I am overly perflexed. It’s totally confusing! Take for example these two charts I found…
Based on my age, they differ in months on when to conceive a baby boy. Whoa! Well, I agree with what one of my friends said who would thought that conceiving for a baby boy or girl even includes a mathematical equation?! 
Oh boy! lol!
Next year, we would have two official preschoolers already. Our dear Bianca would be going to the same school like her Ate Margaux. We are applying her for First Step in Miriam College Child Study Center. Her testing schedule would be on February 4. I hope my little girl would pass the exam. I’m anxious actually. I wonder if ever there are kids that they won’t accept. As she comes in as First Step for next school year, her Ate Margaux would be in Kinder on the other hand. After which, Margaux would be a gradeschooler already. How time flies so fast really!!!! I’m pretty sure I would be excited to prepare as well for her graduation announcements from Kindergarten! Yeah, I would definitely be a very proud mom!
yes, I guess it’s finally over. How time flies that the two-months break has finally come to end. And how time flies as well that this school year, we now have two kids who are going to school! Yeah, Bianca’s class (toddler class) would start by monday next week. We enrolled her in a nearby (inside the village) play school called House of Little People. We heard a lot of good things about this school which offers until prep. Most of the kids who came from these schools are able to enter the premier big schools like Ateneo, Miriam, Poveda, La Salle. I’m excited for Bianca to enter school as I am sure this would improve especially her speech development as she still talks German at this time, lol!
Margaux’s school will start next next week instead. And orientation would be next week also. Gee, I’m putting on my dotting mom’s hat again so expect pictures of their first week in school. I hope the kids would love going to school!
I joined the kids in swimming in the new inflatable pool which we bought 2 weeks ago. It was fun! The kids are really having a blast in playing here that’s why I cannot resist not to join them. And oh, we are playing that water gun as well! It is just so great spending time with kids!
Ah, the mommy in me just wants to share this portrait from school of our first-born!
So LOVELY and CUTEY!!! (mana sa mommy!~ walang kokontra! bwahahaha!)
were the words that came from Margaux and Bianca when they opened their gifts from Mommy and Daddy the evening of Christmas Day.
It was a heartwarming feeling just to see the simple joys in your kids eyes. I admit, I do tend to spoil them with toys or anything they would want to have. I just want to give them everything, which I never had when I was a kid. But I have no dissapointments about it, because it made me realize that I can work hard and achieve what I would want in life eventually. Now, my kids are reaping the rewards. These things are my simple happiness as a mom! And I don’t want it to be taken away from me.
I was at my highest the first day.
But had my lowest the second day.
Husband said to just laugh it out now. Well, I am with the transition of the moods.
I hope it would be a different story tomorrow, cause I’m getting paranoid!
I feel so bad because I blew my top! I scolded the little girl (Margaux) because she was throwing tantrums the whole morning. First, she doesn’t want to eat, then she doesn’t want to take a bath. She was all over the place, scattering the toys and hitting everyone! Where did she learn that? And I so hated it whenever she says: ”Ayaw ko!” She was shouting and running the whole place that she almost hit her head in the wall!
Gee, I wasn’t able to control myself that I held her hand, shouted at her also and made her stand in the corner. I was furious! She HATED me for it. She now doesn’t want to talk to me and neither am I talking to her as of this writing. I want to be firm and let her realize that my rules stand.
I didn’t hit her ok? I just let her stand in one place but she also didn’t stay there longer. She was shouting and crying a lot! She went to her lola and she was comforted. I told her she should tell me when she’s ready to talk to me already.
Is this right or should I give in to be the first one to talk to her. Whoo! This is all about being a good parent to your children. How do you actually discipline one? How do you make sure that you are doing the right discipline?
I can’t tell for now. For goodness sake, she is just 3 years old. How much more when she’s bigger and I have to deal with bigger and more complicated concerns? Mommy woes!
being a mom to these two precious kids…
Motherhood is one of my greatest blessings in this life!
Cheers to all moms in the world!
Yes, I can fully announce now after being worried and waiting for a week for the result of her interview. Dicky got the results yesterday. Margaux has qualified for admission to the First Step Level for school year 2008-2009 in Miriam College Child Study Center. She is assigned for the morning session but Dicky and I are still thinking whether to request for the afternoon session. One consideration is that whatever time we choose, she will remain in the same session until Grade Two. Yes, we also ofcourse intend to bring her in the same school na all throughout gradeschool and highschool and send her internationally for College. Hahaha, dreaming!
Anyway, I’m one proud and happy mommy!
It’s primary complex!
It’s sad. It’s a long process of medication but come to think of it, my “mommy’s instinct” worked. I have a bad feeling she has that’s why I really insisted for her to be tested. We have started medication yesterday.
Now, all of us in the house must be tested. I want to know who’s the culprit!
