I think my daughter Kyla has a stye.
What is a Stye?
A stye, or hordeolum, is a small bump that can appear on the outside or inside of the eyelid.
A stye develops from an eyelash follicle or an eyelid oil gland that becomes clogged from excess oil, debris or bacteria. Styes seem to be brought on by increased stress, but can also be a complication of another condition, called blepharitis.
Symptoms of a Stye:
Patients with styes often complain of watery eyes, pain, tenderness, itching, or redness around the stye. Styes usually appear as a reddish bump on the eyelid. When a stye first develops, the eye may feel bruised and may feel sensitive to light.
In severe styes, a yellow spot may develop in the center, similar to a pimple. Known as an internal hordeolum, it develops as pus builds up inside the stye. Pain usually subsides if the stye ruptures and pus is drained. Some styes never form this pimple-like head, and the pus continues to accumulate. Some large styes can interfere with vision.
I hope and pray that the ointment that my cousin gave to me can heal her stye. It always appears on her eyes. I’m worried. 
Cherifier Growth SupplementCherifer, a very popular food supplement in the Philippines that helps aid in increasing one’s height. Now if this were only available during my youth, instead of looking eye to eye with most people, I would be towering over them.
A lot had been invested by my father in medicines that he hoped would increase his boy’s heights. The most that I could remember was growth stimulants that had to be delivered via a sharp prick in one’s gluteus maximus. Sadly none of them ever got us over 6 ft. The only one in our family who nearly touched 6 ft was the eldest, missed it by an inch or so.
MANILA, Philippines — + Citing the risk to their safety, the Iloilo City council has banned children below four years old from riding motorcycles, motorized scooters and bicycles.
A report on online news site The News Today (www.thenewstoday.info) said the city council passed Ordinance 2008-394, which also requires drivers and passengers to wear standard helmets.
"Minors are much exposed to risk of injuries and death while riding motorcycles due to their tender age," said Councilor Nielex Tupas, author of the ordinance.
The ordinance penalizes drivers for driving without a helmet, driving with unstrapped helmet, allowing a passenger to ride without helmet and allowing a minor below five years old to ride even if the child is wearing a helmet.
For practical reasons, the ordinance will allow minors five years old and above to ride the vehicles provided that they will use standard helmets, he said.
Violators will be fined P500 for the first offense, P1,000 for the second offense and P2,000 for the third offense.
Traffic Management and Engineering Unit (TMEU) data showed some 15,336 registered motorcycles are operating in the city but only 10,726 are for personal use. The rest are tricycles.
In 2007, some 628 motorcycles were recorded to be involved in accidents. "This means that an average of 40 to 50 accidents occur monthly," Tupas said.
Only last month, a city hall employee, together with his wife and daughter, were killed when they met an accident while riding a motorcycle.
They were not wearing helmets when the accident occurred.
1. Be sure to select the correct size to allow your youngster freedom of movement, and avoid tripping over a too-long boat. If you do purchase a larger size for your child to grow into, make sure it's not so big that it hampers his mobility.
2. Avoid drawstrings that pose a chocking hazard.
3. Be sure your child is able to put on and remove his own raincoat to avoid overheating. Select simple closures.
4. Help your child choose his own raincoat. If they choose it they will want to wear it!
You can help him tactfully to accomplish the jobs that are possible. If he feels you are with him and not against him, he will be much more cooperative. It takes patience. Here are a few suggestions:
Another source of conflict is who is going to choose the child's outfit. Some parents never allow a child to decide what he wants to wear. For some it is a daily struggle. One solution is to agree on who decides clothing for different kinds of activity. For example, your child might decide party shoes are fine to wear to the supermarket but not at the beach, whereas you decide what's to be worn for holidays or a wedding. For a young child, the choices should be simple: a child may be able to comfortably pick one of two shirts, but he might feel overwhelmed if confronted with four or five.
One reason parents get so upset about clothes is that they feel they'll be judged by their child's appearance. So it may help to remember that, in the long run, a child who has learned to make his own choices is more likely to feel comfortable and confident – outcomes that are much more important than just looking well-dressed.“My daughter is 3 years old and now she knows how to wear her underwear, pants, short pants and pajama. She even practices wearing her socks by herself. I let her do that so that she will know how to fit her clothes. But I sometimes help her and teach her some easy way to wear it. She is learning and applying it though it takes time for her to fit it. It does not matter as long as she knows how to wear her clothes on her own.”
Yummy Primasilog! Let's eat! 
It is estimated that 20-30% of the children suffer from common sleep problems in the first 3 years of life.
A non-prevalent event but a very prevalent concern of parents during the first year of the baby's life is the Sudden Infant Death Syndrome which relates to the occurrence of infant death during sleep without any explainable cause.

My daughter still experience night wakings even at her age right now. maybe because of her activities during that day. I've noticed whenever she plays a lot on that day, at the middle of her sleep she'll cry without any reason or laugh loud sometime even with her eyes closed. She loves to sleep. She sometimes sleep early 8pm at night depending on her if she is tired on that day. Toddlers are curious and energetic, which makes them run around and want to explore. Sitting down for any length of time is an effort for a young child. Some toddlers do most of their eating on the run, refusing to sit down at the table at all.
Apart from being antisocial, eating while running around increases the risk of choking. Suggestions to get your child to sit down at mealtimes include:
** That is true that some toddlers are hard to sit when they eat. They sometimes run and you will chase them outside just to let them eat their meal. I thanked for my Kyla for she is will just sit down when its meal time. She will sit on the dining set with us and I let her eat. I have no difficulties in meal time because she eats well. **
I saw this photo in my file. I miss Max’s Chicken because there is no branch her in Davao. The taste of their chicken is different from other chicken house. I want to go there again and eat their chicken. Gosh! When will it happen? I hope soon. LOL!
From the komiks pages to the movies, Pieta comes to television as an afternoon teleserye that promises to touch the heart of every mother and son. Based on the creation of Carlo J. Caparas, Pieta tells the story of Amanda (Cherie Gil) and her son Rigor (Ryan Agoncillo). Once she discovers that she is pregnant, Amanda struggles to build a better future for her child.
When her son Rigor commits a crime at a young age, Amanda decides to protect him by taking the fall. While she spends many years in prison, Rigor is slowly dragged into a life of violence. Amanda returns home after being released only to see her son turn into her worst nightmare. Can love save Amanda and Rigor from the world of injustice and misfortune?
1. Observe your child to learn when she is really tired. It is important that you help your child get to bed when she is tired, rather than too early or too late. 2.Make a plan. Talk through the bedtime routine before you are in the middle of it. Since everyone is tired by the time bedtime rolls around, it is easier to decide on a plan earlier in the day. Talk together with your spouse to come up with a time, a routine and a way to set limits, if necessary.
3. Create a routine which fits everyone's needs. Bedtime routines can include: bathing, teeth brushing, stories (books and story-telling), songs, cuddling, massage, listening to music, recalling events from the day, talking about feelings, laying down together until the child falls asleep, saying prayers, saying "good-nights" to people present and not present, talking about the next day, meditating, visualization or thinking about up-coming dreams.
Ideally, these activities should be enjoyable for both parents and children. For many children, having a predictable, consistent routine helps them by giving them a familiar sequence they can begin to relax too. Once you have decided on your routine, you can tell your daughter what will be happening: "Tonight at bedtime, after you brush your teeth, you can choose a story to read and then I will rub your feet while I sing you a song. After that, it will be time for you to rest. Mommy and I will kiss you good-night and leave so you can go to sleep. Do you want your door open or closed?"
4. Help your daughter make a plan for what she can do. You can talk to your daughter ahead of time about how she can help herself fall asleep. "If you are still awake after we leave the room, you could help yourself go to sleep by thinking of your favorite friend, or by holding your bear, or by singing yourself a song." If you think your daughter is experiencing separation anxiety, you can offer to put pictures of you around her bed or let her listen to a tape of you singing or telling her stories.
5. Decide on a plan for follow-through or limit-setting if necessary. Once you have completed your sweet little routine, you daughter will, no doubt, call for you, cry or get up out of bed. At that point, you need to be clear about how you are going to respond. If you really want your daughter to go to sleep by herself, your actions need to convey this to her. When she calls you or cries, you can peek your head in once and remind her that it is bedtime and that she can help herself go to sleep.
You can tell her that if she needs to keep calling or crying, she can, but you won’t be coming in any more. If she gets out of bed, you can gently, firmly and without anger, talking or fanfare, put her back in bed. You may need to do this many times before she gets the message that you are clear that she needs to stay in bed.
If you understand that she needs to test you many times in order to learn you are serious, it may prevent you from feeling angry. It is more effective if you stay calm, clear, gentle and quiet. If you keep talking to her, lecturing her, bribing her or getting angry, she may feel compelled to continue the interaction longer.
6. Tell your daughter the plan. "Once we leave the room, it will be your job to stay in bed and help yourself fall asleep. You can cry or call if you need to. If you get out of bed, we will put you back in bed, because it is your bedtime."
7. Give your daughter information about the importance of sleep. "Your body needs sleep so you can have energy to play tomorrow. Sleep helps you feel better, grow and be strong."
8. Make time to connect with your daughter during the day and/or early evening hours. If you feel like you have had enough time with your daughter, it will be easier to be clear about her bedtime and to give her consistent messages that it is time for her to rest.

** To all moms out there better read this article because it is very helpful to you. We should make a plan to stop our child in having bedtime battles. We must let them understand the importance of sleep. Just like my daughter because she is hard headed, so hard to make her sleep. I talk to her calmly so that she will understand what I am talking about. I’m glad she understands. **
Our Church Anniversary is fast approaching. My daughter and her classmates are always practicing their two songs to be sung in our Church Anniversary. One of their song entitled “This Little Light of Mine”. I’m proud of Kyla because she can sing knows the action of it. I google in the net to look for that song so that she can still practice even she is at home.
Gee! I’m so excited to open my daughter’s Barbie bank this coming December. I will deposit it in her bank account for her education. She will be schooling next year in a private school in our village. It’s only a walk going to her school. I know she is ready to go to school. Kyla can identify the letters of alphabet and numbers plus can trace the letters. We are so proud of her.
Who among you are from

My daughter Kyla is so excited to see the new puppy of my brother named “SCRAPPY”. I like the name huh.. It has breeding, I don’t know what. It’s white and thick hair. Kyla is an animal lover not like me. I hate them because I’m lazy taking care of it though Kyla wants it. I’ll buy one if she is ready to take care a puppy because now she is still 3 years. I am afraid that she will be bitten.
I’ll post a photo of “SCRAPPY” here next time.
The Hyper Dictionary gives the meaning of "discipline":
My daughter Kyla likes DORA stuff. I saw this sandal in the internet. I like the design because it is like the CROC shoes. Well, I can’t afford to buy such expensive stuff and I think you are only buying its brand name. I hope I can find this sandal at SM because I know Kyla will surely like it. As a mom, I support her favorite cartoon character and I have fun collecting it.

My daughter Kyla did this. Hubby taught her to type at Microsoft word. Kyla knows how to type the letters of alphabet. She knows how to spell her nickname “Kyla”. Kyla knows how to highlight those letters and put some text color to it. She is amazing! I observed that she wants to know everything.
Today is Sister Ella’s birthday. Her husband was the godfather of my daughter. When Kyla was dedicated he was not there because it is working days. I understand because he can’t absent to his work. They have one baby boy and one girl. I envy with them because they have a boy and a girl. I hope and pray that my second child soon will be a boy. I missed my two baby twins, John and Joseph. They died six months on my tummy. But they are with the Lord in heaven. We will meet again there.
LOL!
