My Nanny .... not Summer's

My Ate Nora came to visit us to see my baby.

Ate Nora helped my mom raise us. She took care of us until she became a teacher. She left for Masbate and taugt there. She sees to it that she visits us at least once a year during summer. We text each other once in a while.

Now, she's not just my Ate Nora, she is my Summer's Lola Nora.

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.....

Mama's birthDay

It was my MIL's birthday yesterday.

She had lunch with her apos at Jollibee and brought the kids at Kids Domain where they played for an hour. She also brought them to rides like carousel and crawling animals. Summer had lots of fun. She was even telling us 'horse' and 'jaja' over breakfast - attempting to tell us how her day with her lola went yesterday. For dinner, Mama Olive celebrated it with all her kids and wives and Tita Leslie. We had dinner at Tong Yang at Jupiter.

Happy Birthday Mama!

Mama Mary's Day too!

May, being the month of flowers and the month of Mama Mary, Summer was invited at the Fatima Park of 1618 to offer flowers to Mother Mary together with her cousins - Julian and Justine.

We attended the 6pm mass at the Fatima Park. Summer, being the smallest, was the first in line. She walked the aisle with her Ate Cory. We were seated at the back and heard a very loud cry - and I can recognise that it was my baby's cry. Found out that she got scared of the old lady helping the kids put the flowers at the vases prepared for Mama Mary.

I could recall my summer days when I was small when we would offer flowers too - and now it's my baby's turn.

Happy Mother's Day!

It was Sunday morning and Omar woke me up with a bouquet of fresh flowers.

How sweet!

Thank you Omar and Summer! Thank you Omar for giving me Summer. Thank you Summer for brightening up my days and because of you, I get to celebrate this very special day.

And because of you, I get to appreciate my mom more. Happy mother's day Mommy! Happy Mother's day Mama!

Happy Mother's Day to all the wonderful and beautiful mommies!
