>Health Update

>We are still here in Unciano Medical Hospital and Gareth is still under observation. He started to eat and his poop is not quite normal yet so we need to stay until tomorrow and hopefully he will be okay. He hates everytime the nurses check on him. His IV was removed because the fluids can’t flow so he has to take more fluids tonight.

I continue working while we are here in the hospital. I am using my phone as a modem because I know I can’t stop working because I need to meet deadlines. I am also thankful that my husband is helping me taking care of Gareth.

’til on my next post everyone….

>Quick Post

>We are in the hospital now…

Gareth is vomiting and loose bowel movement. He has slight fever and cannot take solid food. I was so worried this afternoon and decided to bring him to the hospital because I don’t want to risk the health of my baby. I hope he will get well soon… I miss his smiles and super hyper moves.

Pray for us…

>Enchanted Kingdom

>

We decided to celebrate Gareth Birthday at Enchanted Kingdom. It was my siblings first time to visit EK and everytime I saw them smiling and laughing I am so happy. Those are priceless moments.

Gareth was sleeping the whole afternoon, maybe he likes the atmosphere. It was a cold afternoon and had rain showers but it didn’t stop us going to different rides.

My nephew Clint was lost. While we were busy discussing of something we just found out that we lost him. We panic and my sister went to guard immediately. It is my first time to experience to lost a kid in a middle of a big place with thousands of people around us. There were so many things coming to my head that time.. what if we can’t found him and I don’t want to end our happy celebration with a disaster one.

When my sister came back she was already carrying Clint. The guard saw Clint at the Bump Car area. Clint wanted to ride but since he is just 3yrs. old he is not allowed, so the guard bring him to their office. We are so thankful because my nephew is safe. It is a lesson for us to place a name and telephone number of a child in their pocket everytime we will go out. Clint is super hyper, he likes to run everywhere and we really need to be more active next time to follow him wherever he will go.

On the lighter side we saw GMA7 celebrities and as a Kapuso follower I am happy to meet some of them. We had pictures and some chats..

Here are some of our pics:

>Happy 2nd Birthday Gareth

>Last night we waited for 12am to start greeting Gareth. He was awake the whole night or we let him stay awake until 12a.m.

I ordered a strawberry shortcake from Mrs. Yulo. My husband pick up the cake at Forbes and it is the best cake I ever tasted. I even forgot that I am on diet.

Here are some pics of Gareth simple event last night.

While waiting.. we are watching TV to keep him awake.

Strawberry Shortcake.. I love it..

Happy Birthday Gareth!! I am so happy to have you. WE LOVE You!

>All About Omega 3

>Yesterday I bought Omega 3 supplement because I just think that I need it. Here are some facts about Omega 3:

Omega-3 fats help you burn fat by helping your body respond better to a hormone called Leptin (Leptin is the Greek word for thin) and…

  • Leptin tells your body (your brain) to suppress your appetite making you eat less so you can maintain or lose weight and…
  • Leptin increases your metabolism by increasing your thyroid output (your thyroid regulates your metabolism) and on top of all that…
  • Leptin also causes your body to burn fat for energy so…

If your body isn’t responding well to Leptin then the reverse happens – You’ll be hungrier, and you’ll store more fat so… You can take Omega-3 fats to help your body respond much better to Leptin so you can increase your fat-burning metabolism

The best sources of Omega-3 fats are Omega-3 supplements or… You can also eat Salmon, tuna, herring, sardines, flaxseed, pecans, walnuts, hazelnut, butternut, mackerel, anchovies to get your Omega-3 fats and…

Here’s 3 more ways Omega-3 fats control your weight

  1. Omega-3 fats help you control your hunger by stabilizing your blood sugar levels and…
  2. An Australian study showed that when people took Omega-3 fats while on an exercise program burned more fat than people who Only Exercised (without taking Omega-3 fats) and people who exercised & took other types of fat and…
  3. Studies done in Japan & The Czech republic suggest that Omega-3 fats prevent the creation of ugly body fat and these same studies suggested Omega-3 fats promote more fat burning.

>Wet Day

>Its raining the whole day and without noticing it I sleep for almost 10 hours, too bad… it is cold and I am so lazy to wake up.

Gareth is lying beside me and he was also sleeping the whole afternoon. Since it seems a lazy day for me I start exercising and took a shower and now I am ready to work. Work until the sun rises tomorrow.

I pray and hope that the weather this coming Saturday is good for my weekend plan.

>I’m Still a Housewife….

>I slow down in working today because I think I need time to rest and think of some other things. Gareth birthday will be this coming Friday and we already had a plan and hopefully it will be perfect. I am also making my christmas list and hopefully I will find time to complete it.

List:

1. New Curtains
2. Dining Set
3. Inaanak Gifts
4. Siblings Gifts
5. Mama gift
6. Add Christmas Decor (balls and lights)

It is hard to become a housewife because you have to decide everything. You have to check if everything are in order. Since I am the only lady in the house I have to instruct my husband and my brother on how to clean and keep things in order. I am happy that they are following me. I don’t nag at them I am just blackmailing them. Like for my brother, if he will not follow my instructions I have to cut his allowance and it really works.

Well, my husband decided yesterday to start decorating. Our Christmas tree is now at our living area but he just assembled the tree and placed the decors but not in a proper format the way i wanted it to be. So tomorrow I will rearrange it and hopefully it will look nice.

Gareth is so amazed about the christmas tree and he keep on pulling the balls and ribbons. I know he don’t understand it yet but I wanted to make it as our tradition to place the tree before his birthday.

This is my life for today… not really a rest day but a housewife day…

>Remembering My Father

>

Since I was a kid I always love Gary V. music as influenced by my Tito Rey. When I found out about this video I am so eager to listen and it made me realize that I had the best father. I am so thankful to have him and I really miss him. Thanks Gary V. for this wonderful music…

>First Time

>

Today is Gareth first time to watch movie. We watch Madagascar 2 at SM Megamall. He loves cartoons and when we found out that it is already showing we immediately plan this event. He was laughing all the time and I was surprise because he don’t have tantrums inside the movie house. As a mom I am happy that my son appreciates it.

Toy Kingdom at SM Megamall offers 70% sales to some items and we can’t help but bought some toys.

When I offer something to Gareth he was not interested but when I gave Piglet to him, he immediately hug it and never put it down.

We also bought some Christmas presents for my siblings.

Christmas is stressful yet a very happy season and my favorite season of the year.

>The Kiss

>
I’ve been teaching Gareth on how to kiss. He knows how to kiss his teady bears so I started teaching him to kiss us but it seems that he was not yet ready. Until today while I am working he surprised me… he kiss me and it melts my heart. I wish I can capture it and post the actual picture.

I feel so lucky to be with him everyday because I can witness his developments. I am so proud of him and excited to witness more…
