The Pursuit of Happyness

Last Monday, my sister and I watched The Pursuit of Happyness at Rockwell. It’s a little dragging but I find it very nice and very touching. It shows the love and care of a father to his son and what he does to provide for the family. It also showed all the trials, sacrifices and hard work the father endured just to earn for a living. Eventually, all those hard work paid off when he got the position as a broker in one of the prestigious stock brokerage firm. Hope you’ll find time to watch it! :)

Side note: Thanks honey for the greeting! And thank you for the sacrifices and love you give for the family. Luv you! Mwah!

Update on Lance

We visited Lance’s pedia last Feb 24 for his monthly well-baby check up. He now weighs 8.3 kgs (so heavy!!), head circumference of 42.5cms and his length is 70cm. He’s only 5 months old and the doctor said that his weight is for 7-8month old babies. The doctor did not advise us to put him on diet. She said that Lance is ok naman. She just advised us to give him more water. Lance was also given 2nd dose of rotarix and for next month he’ll be having his 3rd round of 6-in-1.

Lance has more funny antics now, is becoming talkative (even if he can’t talk yet hehe!). He just loves making sounds and sometimes even fond of shouting. There are times also that I am still sleeping and he’s awake na, he’ll just make sounds if he can’t sleep anymore. He also enjoys strolling in the neighborhood and that whenever he’s crying and I put him in his stroller, he’ll stop crying na. Feeling ko in his mind sabi niya “yehey! broom! broom na!”

I could just go on and on with the things my son has been doing and I’m so thankful with all his developments. I just hope and pray that he’ll continue to grow and be healthy. :)
Belat! (pink bedsheet ko! lol!)
hello there!
i'm happy!
i love my toy!

Music and Lyrics


Paul, my sister and I watched Music and Lyrics last Feb. 20 at gateway mall. I just love Drew Barrymore and Hugh Grant. They have good chemistry and the movie is nice too. It’s a feel good movie and just right for Valentines Day. I won’t be giving the plot anymore for I think most of you have seen it already and this is a delayed post na. hehe!

I like the song they composed Way Back Into Love and Don’t Write Me Off but what I like most is the song Pop Goes My Heart. Not because of the lyrics or the melody but because of Hugh Grant’s dance steps. Hehe! Paul tried imitating the moves and he’s really funny! Paul is not a good dancer but with this move, you can see his hips moving. Love it! Hehe!

For those of you who haven’t seen it yet and wanted to see a feel good movie, this is a must see! :)

Would You Be A Cool Parent?

You Will Be a Cool Parent

You seem to naturally know a lot about parenting, and you know what kids need.
You can tell when it's time to let kids off the hook, and when it's time to lay down the law.
While your parenting is modern and hip, it's not over the top.
You know that there's nothing cool about a parent who acts like a teenager... or a drill sergeant!
