I have been so busy lately and wasn't able to update this blog, there's so much I want to share with you guys. There's Sophia's UNO and Trick or treat Experience... But for today, I want to start with our trip to Crocolandia.<br />
<br />

It's a mini- zoo here in Cebu. Hubby and I thought it would be a nice experience for Sophia and Kuya Icee to get in touch with nature and be more familiar with animals.<br />
<br />
It was a sunny and lovely day to go on our mini family field trip...<br />
<br />
We saw varieties of mammals, birds and reptiles.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
And got upclose with the most popular crocodile in Crocolandia, the mighty and very huge 6 meter crocodile "Lapu-lapu" . Although we were standing quite far from it, we were still scared, who would blame us. reptiles especially crocodiles are not really very friendly looking. Stressing on NOT...</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">If you can't spell, or if you are mathematically challenged do you consider yourself dumb? Well think again, there must be something you can do better than somebody else does. Say for example one friend of mine who is like a walking calculator and who always excel in math and won every quiz bee he had attended BUT has a very hard time associating with people. Or this other friend of mine who's average in college and flanked a few subjects BUT is now a very successful salesman.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">According to Dr. Howard Gardner there are 9 kinds of Intelligence. Which explains why there are certain things we are very good at and some we are just "so-so".</span></div>

As a mom, I find it important to recognize where my child excels so I can appreciate her more and support her to further enhance her skills. Or, I can help her improve and strengthen where her weakness is to improve her whole well being.<br />

What field of intelligence do you most likely belong guys? and which field do you need to improve more?<br />

She represented the BLUE Team during their Intramurals last month. Who would have thought our little girl will give us the performance of her life. For the past 2 school programs, Sophia was very shy to dance around an audience. She just stood up and sway a little and then ran to the audience to join them watch her fellow classmates.<br />

I havn't been updating my fitness/ weight loss progress merely because there really isn't any progress to it. Although, I should say and I'm proud that I still maintain the 122 lbs from way back months ago. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
What happened was, life caught up with me, seEEriousLy did. And I lost focus on my health project. Yada Yada Yada..... I don't wanna elaborate anymore because I don't wanna sound so defensive. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
SOOOOOO... more on the positive side. I started exercising for a week now, and it feels great doing it. Although the first few days was hard for me, TORTURE, It was really so hard to start because honestly, it's so much easier to be a potato couch right? BUT I always remind myself that I have goals to achieve. If I want to teach my family a healthy lifestyle I have to live that lifestyle too, tama? TAMA!!!! </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Hence, the exercise. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
After the third day of doing it, I observed few positive changes in me, I am more energetic, I don't get tired easily, I see myself keeping up with my ever active toddler. <i><span style="color: #666666;">(clap clap)</span></i> I sleep better at night and wake up more alive in the morning. ( <i><span style="color: #666666;">goodbye miss cranky</span></i> ) </div>

Aside from my coffee, I found myself another energy booster. My 30 minutes walking exercise. You should do it too. If your goal is to lose weight, or just plainly be active or just to be healthy or if you want to give your Heart an easy daily good exercise, I recommend this to you. You can do it anywhere, even in the comforts of your own living room.</div>

Finally after almost a year, I braved myself to the kitchen again and made, No cook: Blueberry Cheesecake. When I first saw this, it intimidated the Novice cook that I am. But when I finally decide to just give it a try, I was very happy that I did because it was actually very easy to do and it was superlicious. My whole family loved it and they were begging me to make some more. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Before I share to you how I did it, let me tell you that I am very inexperience to all of these and the only few things I know to do when it comes to cooking are, cooking rice in the rice cooker, hotdogs/ bacons in the toaster and of course the, <a href="http://lalahspartyofthree.blogspot.com/search/label/No%20Cook" target="_blank"><b>No cook recipes</b></a> I loved. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
So fair enough to say, that if I can make it. Anyone can. :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
I got the recipe from <a href="http://www.mymomfriday.com/2010/12/mom-cook-no-bake-blueberry-cheesecake.html" target="_blank"><b>My Mom Friday</b></a>, I am so thankful I came across her blog, now I got another collection for my No Cook Recipes.

<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I've not known any individual who despise it. Me on the other hand, is a fried chicken addict though not as much as when I was a kid, when all I remember having for baon is fried chicken, they used to tease me that I'd grow feathers of too much eating it. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
A few months ago, my younger brother told me that he discovered a new Korean restaurant who sells juicy, yummy, spicy chicken. And recommended me to try it.<br />
<br />
There's no better way to do it but to try it with good friends. Also in time for Julius our very hard working Dental assistant's birthday :)<br />
<br />
We went there July. Aaaah! this is such a late post but better late than never right.<br />

We dined at their Foodland Banilad Branch. They already have quite a few, in Lahug, Mango Square and in Mactan, this I have to see because I live in that island but never saw one. Maybe its located in beach areas, I don't know. But when I find that branch I will give an update.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We ordered their signature chicken, Chosun Chicken, thus the name of their restaurant and half of the serving, spicy Gochu Chicken. We were glad to know that it already came with 2 servings/cup of rice. for Php 550. And Beef Bulgogi. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The chicken was D E L I C I O U S! super. I got hooked. I had to go back and bring hubby to taste it and he was very happy I brought him because he loves chicken and spice.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Side dishes were served as well, coleslaw and what seems to be a raddish salad.</div>

Though we only ordered 2 menus, their servings are huge. We even had plenty of left overs left. (happy me)</div>
<br /></div>
<div>
The waiters were very accommodating and attentive. The food was excellent. Their chicken is one of my new favorites now.<br />

It's a combination of fun, draining, scary and exhausting 4 days.<br />
<br />
Really.<br />

Last Friday we ended the week with a party. It was my godson Liam's 2nd birthday. Me and Sophia were the first guest to arrive and the last to go. After she murdered the birthday cake leaving it icing less hahahahaha...<br />

We went home late that night and woke up early to finish hubby's project for school. He is making a model boat. Yes he took Naval Architecture last June on top of him working full time as a ship surveyor/ Mechanical Engineer, so its basically crazy hectic for him, thus me too.... I already volunteered to typing this book he has to submit before Oct 19. When he asked me to help him solder the wires for his boat, hindi ko carry. Thanks to Regan who took soldering class is TESDA for helping.</div>

They finished the skeleton at 2:30. Grabe we started making it at 6 am and at 2:30 its still a skeleton boat. Anyways, finish or unfinished we had to go meet up with his professor so he could submit the blueprint and etc.... and instead of submitting the model boat, we just showed him the skeleton boat and asked for an extension. "A" for AaEffort!!!!</div>

Anybody here been to downtown CEBU? If you plan to go, Please don't wear or bring anything precious, Hubby's school is situated there and we had to park a little farther because getting a parking space there is very challenging. We walked a few meters to his school when somebody grabbed my right shoulder and grabbed my necklace. My 20 year old necklace. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
Until now, I'm still a bit shaky with the whole experience. How I wish I didn't notice my necklace gone, how I wish he didn't have to grab my shoulder. It was a very bad experience. And up to now, It still haunts me ... </div>

I love my mom. She's the best. When I am wounded I always have her to nurse and comfort me, she's always ready to listen to my silly stories, and she doesn't get bored even if she heard those stories for the nth time. I don't need to pretend, or lie to her because she accepts me for who I am. With her, I have the coolest Mother and the bestest Bestfriend.<br />
<br />
But it wasn't really like that the whole time, there was a time in my teenage years when I listen more to my friends than her and I would ignore her advises because I thought I was big enough to make my own decisions and that maybe I need her less. I was surrounded with wrong people who I thought were my friends, I was making bad decisions that could trouble me now if not with my mom's intervention.<br />
<br />
Of course it wasn't an easy route, mom and I had several misunderstandings but she bore it all, me not talking to her, me hating her, me thinking she was the enemy. She had to make a stand in order to save me from the trouble I was getting myself into.<br />
<br />
Long story---- short, She saved me. And even though, I was pushing her away that time she stood still and stayed with me.<br />

If time comes, that we will be in the same situ, (and I am dreading that day to come) always know that I as your mom will do anything and everything for you and your whole being. Maybe to the extent of being Cruella Devil to your life. But PLEASE don't hate me...</blockquote>
<br />
<blockquote class="tr_bq">
Just know that everything I am doing is out of love. I will always stand by you even if you push me away.</blockquote>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">September 14:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Me and hubby went to surprise Sophia by picking her up in school since hubby didn't have to go to the shipyard last Friday. He wanted to have a lunch date with her girls. And we thought that sneaking a little quality time together is a good idea since we've been very busy with work the couple of weeks ago. The date was such a good timing because it happened to be the day that Sophia's report card will be given to parents and boy, were we surprised and happy to see how well she did in school. We know that she's a little advance for her age and can really converse with paragraphs now and how excellent her comprehension is, but seeing it in writing and in record made it more official. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gWYqyx8FIiY/UFZrpcCGs2I/AAAAAAAACj0/g-fOJ0n7aCU/s1600/010.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="262" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gWYqyx8FIiY/UFZrpcCGs2I/AAAAAAAACj0/g-fOJ0n7aCU/s400/010.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Sophia is just 2 years old and 5 months now, and the youngest in her class. Some parents tells us, its too early to send her to school and few months ago I would say the same thing. I never wanted her to go to school as early as 2, I even wanted her to go to school when she's 4 or 5 yrs old maybe. But because she was getting shy around kids and practically don't know how to associate with them worried us. That's why we sent her to school for that particular reason. To just hang out with other kids. Learn. Play. </div><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I know, she's just in Nursery and this card won't even show up in her transcript and maybe to some this isn't such a big deal. But to me and hubby it is such a GREAT DEAL because this is our little girl's achievement. Our achievement as well. And we are so proud of her.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Her teacher told us to read books to her more because she loves books. I'd say reading to her while she was still inside my womb, and up to this moment before bed time paid off. Now, I need new ones because she knows all her stories too well.... </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I'm going to the bookstore this week and buy her a new good book as a reward, do you know any good books for toddlers? Please do share. :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I had a lunch date with Ping, Debbie and Justin yesterday. It was so nice to see old friends again. We were basically just catching up with everybodys lives and reliving the good old college days. It's also a nice coincidence to see Justin who is having a 2 week vacation from Canada, the last time we saw him was 2005.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">The last time I saw Pinky was last March when we had the trip in Dakak. I miss her so much. More than being one of my bestfriends, she is like my sister. We were roomates in college, and spent most of our college time together, bad times were bearable because we had each other to lean on but mostly we had so many good memories together.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><ol><li>I love to laugh. In fact I laugh very loud, and my laugh is usually contagious. It's very therapeutic, at least for me.</li>
<li>I collect so many cute things, mostly cute notebooks, I just love cute notebooks I buy it without purpose, I even have notebooks I bought when I was still in High School still untouched.</li>
<li>I love peanuts. I love to dip my peanuts in a cola, then drink and eat it at the same time. Yeah yeah. I am weird like that. What's weirder is,</li>
<li>I love bananas, and I love to eat it with soy sauce.</li>
<li>I was in Grade 3 when I became the school president and it lasted my whole elementary years. So basically I learned about responsibility at an early age.</li>
<li>I am very chatty. And when I am not, there are only three things I am tired, I am mad or I am sleeping. :)</li>
<li>Lastly, I am a reality tv addict. It just amuses me.</li>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-size: large;">Piapie,</span> </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">I can't count how many of my lipsticks you've ruined already. You always love to try things on your own. Mostly girly stuffs like mani and pedis and how you love to have same colors with mommy. You search my bag for make-ups and demands to put it on. In your cute little voice you tell me,</div><blockquote class="tr_bq"> " look mommy, pretty pia"</blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Oh yes you are. With or without make up. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Now I find your curiosity cute. My little me, putting on make up. Putting mommy's stilletos, wanting mommy's bag and you wanting to have the same manis and pedis. You are so adorable. Today I let you explore, to feed your curiosity because that's the only way you learn best. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">BUT sooner I might be discouraging you from doing the things that ONLY ladies should be doing... not because I don't want you to, in time we will go shopping for all those pretty things and mommy is already excited with the thought. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">But for now, I want you to be your age... crazy hair, face full of icing/ icecream/ chocolates or whatever evidence of food you just ate, mismatched clothes, unpaired socks, in your diapers... without worrying about vanity and weight and hairstyles. Because everything has its season. I want you to enjoy every phase of your life and have good memories to look back.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">Don't go rushing, savor each moment.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;"><br />

Last friday, Sophia's school celebrated the culmination of the "BUWAN NG WIKA" for the month of August. I was only informed 2 days prior to the said program that they have to wear Filipino costume. <span style="font-size: large;">2 days. </span>Because that's the time Sophia got back to school after being <a href="http://lalahspartyofthree.blogspot.com/2012/08/what-hit-me.html">hospitalized</a>. Luckily, my friend Nina saw and bought the last piece on display that fits Sophia. Well kinda fit her, I had to adjust the skirt because it was way too long. Other than that I was happy with how the dress looked on her. Haaaaaaaaay salamat.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

Anyways, so last friday we have to take a day off, me and hubby , to see Sophia dance. To see her in action. She has been dancing at home, and I believe she's doing the steps for their dance number. We were so excited.</div>

Parents were encouraged to wear Filipino costumes also. But because of the limited time, I wasn't able to find me a costume. But I'm glad hubby has a lot of Barongs so at least there's one of us who can go wearing a Filipino costume. </div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
</div>
<div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
We had a critic saying "we are such stage parents" for taking a leave at work to see our barely nursery one kid (Sophia is in playgroup). And even commenting about wearing the Barong when it's not really compulsory. OH MY GOD!!!!</div>

<div>

First, branding us "stage parents". I don't know about that. What I know is, we love our daughter so much and on this specific occasion we want to be there for her. It's hard enough to leave her everyday to go to work so on occasions like this, we just don't want to miss it. The best gift we can give her is our TIME. (So scratch you!)</div>

Second about the barong, I'm proud to say Hubby won the best in Filipino Costume. When his name was called, Sophia was so happy. She was jumping up and down singing, Daddy daddy daddy!!!! She was so proud you can see through her twinkling eyes. Seeing my daughter that happy and proud of us, introducing us to her classmates and teachers was all worth it.</div>

We sent Sophia to school late of July because she was <a href="http://lalahspartyofthree.blogspot.com/search/label/K%27%20Family">getting shy around kids</a>. And since then a lot of things have changed. She's more playful around kids, she's more interactive with them too. Everyday after school she amazes us with the new things she learned that day. :)</div>

If you've been reading my blog for awhile now, then you would know I am crazy about parties especially children's parties.<br />
<div><br />
</div><div>It was such a beautiful First Safari Adventure Birthday Party. We all had a great time, especially Sophia who was just recovering and who's only been out 2 days from the hospital.<br />

<br />
Wow, it has only been 2 weeks but it felt like the longest time of anticipation and anxiety.<br />
<br />
2 Sundays ago, Sophia had a high fever around 39C, I know that fever is caused by infection and when I saw her swollen gums I was sure that she was just teething and the last 4 molars erupting is causing the fever.<br />
<br />
Monday and Tuesday she was so weak and no Paracetamol helped lower the fever. She just wants me to hug her all the time and complained that her limbs and joints hurt. Her eyes are bit swollen, I think from crying and being so whiny all the time. She must be really tired because all she wants to do is sleep. When she woke up, she's complaining that her eyes stings and hurt. Her lips are cracked. Again, due to High Fever.<br />
<br />
Wednesday. She was a bit energetic, and already asked for food. Temperature still the same. Eyes more puffed, Gums are generally really swollen. But in my assessment she was getting better because appetite is back and she's in her usual playful self. So I went to work expecting her to be better when I come home. That night, although fever has become 38C but her eyes are really puffed more puffed before I left her this morning. I was getting worried. Really worried.<br />
<br />
Thursday. Hubby and I took her for dengue test complying her Pedia's request. I was sure she's free from Dengue and it's something else.<br />
<br />
The dengue test came in POSITIVE. And what's more is that the test showed she already had Dengue prior to this. WHEN? I don't know. It was really horrifying for me. I was fighting with my subconscious the whole time blaming myself. Hubby didn't bring it up, but I was ashamed of myself for being so lax, he was insisting of having lab works for Sophia but I constantly brush the idea away because I was sure it was only teething. And the main reason I didn't agree, because I don't want to subject my dear daughter to such painful needleworks when I know she's only teething. IS SHE?.... How can I be stupid and so close minded.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cRWPo4DZopk/UDbKTpc4MoI/AAAAAAAACXg/AhLsAlX844I/s1600/10.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-cRWPo4DZopk/UDbKTpc4MoI/AAAAAAAACXg/AhLsAlX844I/s640/10.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br />
<br />
DENGUE?!? Where did she get it? Maybe from our out of town trips the couple of weeks. Maybe from school. Maybe from home?... I was in such denial and look what happened to her. I feel my intestine twisting inside me, makes me wanna vomit from all this mix emotions. I couldn't cry but I sure wanted to. I just said a silent prayer to God to give me and hubby strength and more to protect Sophia and keep her away from danger. I cradle her, kissed and hug her saying how sorry I am for misjudging and asking her to be strong.<br />
<br />
She was hospitalized for 4 days. It was the longest 4 days of my life. I don't know how many hours I've slept, I was awake most of the time not wanting to take my eyes of her. She had blood extraction 2x a day because we had to monitor her platelets, some extraction wasn't really very pleasant the kind that makes you wanna slap the medtech's face but I know it's not really their fault, the lowest she had was 81,000 and when that result was relayed to us. That's the time I can't control myself from sobbing. I don't remember myself being that scared.<br />
<br />
Now, she is well. Lost few pounds, but I couldn't be more happier now that she's ok. I bought lots of off lotions already. I've researched about dengue and mosquito, and how to keep them away from my loved ones.<br />
<br />
I thank God for keeping Sophia safe. I thank God for my family, my mom, dad and 2 brothers for being there to support us 100% all the time. My aunts and cousins and to my dear friends who loves Sophia so much. Without them, I know I shattered to pieces. Thank you again for the encouragement and for keeping me sane during those moments.<br />
<br />
What happened to Sophia, I wouldn't wish it for anyone and for any mother . Let's all be safe and healthy.<br />
<br />

I know I said I'd make a weekly update but I was pretty busy with a lot of stuffs. And I wasn't so up to it because if you remember my last post <a href="http://lalahspartyofthree.blogspot.com/2012/07/plateau.html">here</a>, it was a total failure. The simple steps I made for myself turned out to be not that simple after all.<br />
<br />
My relatives were here for a month for our every 2 years reunion. Imagine feast for a month. Sometime in the middle, I decided to give the <a href="http://lalahspartyofthree.blogspot.com/search/label/Bringing%20Sexy%20Back%20Project">BSB Project</a> a pause and indulge to the feast because it was too hard to resist and I don't want to feel guilty everytime I feed myself , you know what I mean? Plus, I want to enjoy every moment with my Aunts and cousins.<br />
<br />
But maybe I was having too much fun, I weighed myself last July 31and the 120 lbs became a whoooping 125 lbs! OH MY GOD!<br />
<br />
This explained how I felt after. Oh, my God so me.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RPJZ8xXCHRA/UCTXJTnvfzI/AAAAAAAACV0/zF0Y9t9j0Do/s1600/61558_427192062538_7615683_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="456" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-RPJZ8xXCHRA/UCTXJTnvfzI/AAAAAAAACV0/zF0Y9t9j0Do/s640/61558_427192062538_7615683_n.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">But I'm so over the depression and the regretting, drinking all the soda and eating all those yummy foods. Last week, I came to my senses and got back to my feet and back to my goals.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I'm weighing myself every Friday from now on and hope to lose a pound a week. I braved myself to the weighing scale earlier today, <span style="font-size: large;">122 lbs</span>. YEY!!!! I lose the 3 pounds I gained from two weeks ago. I was sad with the 5 lbs weight I gained but, I'm always looking at the brighter side, 3 lbs off is something to be proud and happy about.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Here's what I did to lose the 3 lbs:</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><blockquote class="tr_bq"><ul><li>Water. I made sure I drink at least a liter everyday. And I stopped drinking anything else except for coffee, I just can't let go but instead of 5 cups I cut it down to 3.</li>
</ul></blockquote><blockquote class="tr_bq"><ul><li>30 Minutes Walk everyday. </li>
</ul></blockquote><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hopefully everything will fall into place. I realized it's so easy to gain weight but so hard to lose some. I need more motivation.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What's your secret? Care to share?</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Meet fridgie. She is our very first refrigerator, we bought her last Monday. My gesh. I didn't know it's that hard to find yourself one that you like. There are a lot in the market and every sales rep out there tells you their brand is the best. (dapat lang ano). Good thing hubby was there to discuss with me what we need and what we can actually afford.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">What I like about Fridgie is that she is 8 cu ft perfect for our new home, her color is elegant and she's low maintenance when it comes to cleaning her exterior. You can even use your hand in wiping it and it goes shiny again. (clap clap)... And she's no frost. (another clap clap) meaning, there's no need for me to defrost. But you know what I like best about her is that she has an ice twister. (don't laugh) What can I say, I'm fan of ice. Super. I like my drinks super cold except for my coffee of course.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh and Fridgie's shelves are arrangeable it has that shelves system where you can easily divide the shelves according to how big you are going to put in. So its very roomy. The only problem we have now is what to put inside hahahahha.....</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">To have a child patient is already exhausting, to have a child patient who is scared of you is so much frustrating. I have to face that everyday. And everyday I see parent's anxiety build up when 15 minutes is up and the child still won't open her/his mouth for examination. And then there goes the bribing.... candies, icecream, toys to take me here take me there...</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">So why are your kids scared of dentist? <b>Because maybe you parents are too</b>. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Maybe it's time to overcome those fear and face it so you won't be able to pass that same fear to your children. <b>Parents should be their children's role Model</b>. They must be able to look up to you as good example. So, you should brush regularly, visit the dentist at least twice a year, control your dental anxiety and sport a healthy set of teeth too.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Never ever try to use dentists, and our works as threats for punishments to naughty or misbehaving children.</b> Pls thats a No. No. Children fear the unknown and if you associate dentist as somebody to be feared then most likely, your kids are going to.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Prevention is always better than cure.</b> Don't take your children to the dentist only with an aching tooth. For sure their first dental visit will be unpleasant and future dental visit will be non existent.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Teach your children to brush their teeth every after meal. </b>So they will get used to the feeling of a clean mouth. We teach our children to wash their hands/wash their face until it becomes a habit. Same thing should happen with tooth brushing.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>Your child's first dental visit should be around his/her first birthday</b>. More than examining the child's mouth, this visit is more on preventive measures, the visit will provide the dentist opportunity to educate the parents and caregivers about dental habits to avoid potential dental problems and focus on a preventive approach.</div><div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

<br />
I so need a new phone and this phone is perfect for me. It's super chic. But what I like most is that impressive crisp and clear photos and videos. That alone made my heart clap twice. Lol<br />
<br />
Anyways, you can check a out this phone right <a href="http://www.yugatech.com/mobile/sony-xperia-p-review/">here</a>.<br />
