Telenovelas may be dangerous to your baby's health

Dahil sa ka-jologan namin magasawa, nagkabukol ang baby ko.

Omar called me to record the first sets of Maging Sino Ka Man since he was just on his way home. Obedient wife that I am, I took out my cellphone to video the telenovela. Come commercial, I would then transfer the recorded video to my laptop so I could delete it in my digicam for the next set. Ganyan ako ka-tsaga - gosh, must be love!

Since it's hard to video the tv show, I pulled the table in front of the tv where I could sit comfortably.

Just when I was transferring the video from my digicam to my laptop, I saw my baby fell down from the table, head first! And she got a bump on her upper left forehead, the size of a jackstone ball. I felt so terrible and guilty. I immediately put ice on her forehead. She was crying so loud and saying 'ako na! ako na!' But she would put the ice on her right forehead, far from her bump.

Come the next set of telenovela, as I was busy attending to her bump, not planning to record the succeeding sets, she pointed at the tv saying, 'ayan na! ayan na!' To pacify her, I recorded the succeeding show.

She wouldn't let me put ice on her bump. A papa's girl in the making that she was, she allowed her papa to apply ice on her forehead. Omar brought home a burger king meal for pasalubong. Summer's not allowed to drink soda. I often tell her 'no coke!' that she would shout at the tv 'no coke!' everytime she see the commercial of Coke. But since she was injured that night, Omar let her take a sip. After taking her sip, she approached me and with a wide grin on her face, told me 'Mama, coke! I like it!' GRrr.....
