The Little Chick.

Such was his excitement when hubby brought home a little chick. He placed it on his head.

Even between his lower limbs when watching tv. You should see the look on my face seeing it on my bed.

Of course it's fun seeing a kid take care of a pet but the idea of him holding and playing with it in his tender age is rather unfavorable.  This opted me to put little chickee away from him but making sure I fed it few times a day. 

Had it not been for my protective nature for this kid, the little chick wouldn't live up to 9 days.

In time, he will have the opportunity to take care of a pet when he is old enough.  

That's a promise.

Halloween 2013.

Once again we gathered for another fun-filled occasion-- to get together, celebrate birthdays for the month and Halloween, as well. With a few responsibles planning and organizing, What else could go wrong?

People from different cultures, beliefs and walks in life may have varied views on Halloween.  Some folks from religious sects remain conservative and continues to claim of Halloween as satanic.

It is NOT our purpose to celebrate the dark side nor embrace satanism.

Morning Walk At The Park.

I may have missed last week's fun run but I am getting ready for the next one. I felt I was not ready yet having missed out on my usual day-to-day date with T.J. Storm (Cardio Kungfu), Shaun T (Hip-hop Abs Workout) and the twice a week Zumba sessions at the mall.

With my friends in the 5K run, it would be so embarassing if I fail their expectations.

So, I have resolved to bring physical fitness back into my life!

In days I couldn't go out even for a walk because of bad weather, or simply because there's no one else to watch for baby yo, then I find myself choosing from my variety of dance workout DVDs.

Thanks a lot to technology!

Even a visit to my father's grave makes me feel like taking a walk or do a light run in the vast memorial park.

And finding wonderful friends with same interests is an added bonus.

Whenever a digi-cam is ready, along comes a photo shoot!  :)

PINK FOR OCTOBER

Being Breast Cancer Awareness month for 2013, some programs are supported by various organizations, government and non-government as well.

Finding people who help fund institutions supporting men and women with breast cancer is remarkable.

Below are some paintings on exhibit at SM-Cagayan de Oro for the benefit of THRIVE CDO BREAST CANCER ADVOCACY GROUP.

The Fall.

I did had time with friends and joined a despedida dinner at TGI Fridays. But it gave me something to remember.

A SORED KNEE. 

Actually both knees feels terrible even when I'm seated like this. Perhaps, the fact that I am left-handed,  it's my left knee that did most in saving my whole weight. 

Imagine me, trying to finish a drink--I had to do it straight as hubby had a series of calls already, waiting for me in a bookstore in the same mall. Alright, I had said my goodbyes to almost everyone when I reached the uneven flooring near the door that I lost my balance. It was something I never expected. Although I managed to immediately get-up and leave the restaurant, it was only when I was far enough for them to see was I able to run my hands on my aching knees.

Ouch, ouch...OUCH!

Baby Yo at 41 months

Behold, children are a gift of the Lord, The fruit of the womb is a reward. Like arrows in the hand of a warrior, so are the children of one's youth. How blessed is the man whose quiver is full of them; They will not be ashamed when they speak with their enemies at the gate. Ps 127:3-5 

I consider him as God's gift to us. Watching him grow up into what he is today brings me so much joy.

Thank you Baby Yo for teaching everyone in the family how to give more love. The value of self-sacrifice, discipline, self-control, gentleness and patience.

And for every little learning we both have as days go by.

I love you.
