My daughter Kyla is so lazy and keeps on lying on our sofa while watching TV. It is her daily routine huh..so better bye bye for now because I will cook for our lunch. Then after that I will go to SM to buy gifts for my godchildren. I hope I can find an affordable stuff for them. 
Gosh! December 25 is coming. I still have no gifts for my godchild. I better look some toys, clothes and etc for them. I’ll be out of my desk today because I’ll pay our water bill then I will go to shopping malls to find some stuff for my godchild. I hope I can find big discounts. LOL! I have additional godchild this coming December 28. I will also add it on my list. For sure there are so many pretty dresses at SM or NCCC mall. Bye for now guys!
My daughter Kyla loves to watch “DYOSA” every night after TV Patrol.
Dyosa (Goddess) is a fantasy series (fantaserye) currently being aired by Philippines broadcaster ABS-CBN and starring Anne Curtis, Sam Milby, Zanjoe Marudo and Luis Manzano.
Josephine discovers she has the power of the earth, wind & water to harness these powers; she takes the form of a centaur, a mermaid, & a siren. But, in order to fulfill her destiny, the goddess must balance out the forces between the Kabanwas & the Kasamyans. Dyosa must do battle against the Kasamyans. Will she be able to save humankind from the evil that sets out to destroy her & the entire world? Will Dyosa finally find her true love? Find out who will eventually win her heart in Dyosa.
Kyla memorizes these three persona appeals of Josephine.
• Josephine transforms into Dyosa Cielo: she flies high up in the sky using her powerful wings, to create hurricanes. (Siren)
• Josephine transforms into Dyosa Tierra: a centaur guarding the forest, using strength to fight. (Centauride)
• Josephine transforms into Dyosa Agua: a dazzling mermaid swimming gracefully under the sea, forming whirlpools to attack. (Mermaid)
This photo was during Kyla’s last year birthday held at Forest Hill. She is with her Tita Lianne. They are close with each other. Well, Kyla is the favorite niece of all. She is smart and talkative. Kyla is the first grandchild of both sides. She is very much loved by everybody. That is why she is spoiled to them.
Why does babies cry?I surf on the net because I want to know the reasons. Sometimes I'm afraid and think that she has heart disease that's why the baby cry. I found that there are 7 Reasons babies cry at BabyCenter.com.
1. I need food
Hunger is the most common reason a new baby will cry.
2. I need to be comfortable
Babies will very sensibly protest if their clothes are too tight or if a soiled nappy is bothering them.
3. I need to be warm - and not too hot or too cold
Some newborns hate having their nappy changed or being bathed.
4. I need to be held
Some babies need a great deal of cuddling and reassurance
5. I need a rest
It is easy to assume that babies will fall asleep whenever they need to, wherever they are, simply because so many of them do.
6. I need something to make me feel better
If you've fed your baby and checked that she's comfortable, but she's still continuing to cry, you may wonder if she is ill or in pain.
7. I need something ... but I don't know what
Sometimes you might not be able to figure out what's wrong when your baby cries.

I found this article at Baby Center and now I know why the babies cry. Before, I am so confused and worried when I hear my baby cries. I don't know what she wants or what she wants to say to me. What I always do is try different things to catch her attention and until I found something to let her stop from crying. But now, I know how to handle things like this. For mom's out there take time to remember those things listed above.
My hubby's made a live audio streaming on his blog. He stream's local radio station here in Davao city so that the Davaoeños around the world can now listen on their favorite local radio station in they hometown. He has also a playlist of his own music. Most of the time he plays his playlist at night. Listeners can request music and send greetings as what radio station does normally. just visit www.micromediadv.com and click on ON AIR! button on his menu. Happy listening! 
Once you have a list of possible babysitters, you can begin the screening process:
Check references carefully. Contact previous employers, teachers, neighbors, and relatives and ask them about the candidate’s qualifications as a baby sitter.
Interview potential sitters. Look for candidates that are responsible, honest, patient, positive, competent and caring. Here are some questions you may want to ask:
• How long have you been baby sitting?
• What age groups have you worked with?
• Do you know cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) and the Heimlich maneuver?
• Have you taken any baby sitting training or first aid courses?
• What days and hours are you available to sit?
Also remember to ask the candidate how he or she would handle a difficult situation, an emergency, an illness, or poor behavior from your child (look for ideas that are positive and helpful), and allow the candidate time to ask you questions.
Observe sitters. You want a sitter with whom you and your children will be comfortable. You should observe their interactions with you and your children. Here are some tips:
• Choose a sitter with whom you can relate — someone who shares your ideas about taking care of children and with whom you can be frank.
• Choose a sitter who loves children and relates well to them. The sitter should:
° Give children plenty of attention and enjoy playing with them
° Use a gentle tone of voice
° Smile and laugh with children
° Use positive ways to help children behave (not hitting, slapping, shouting at or scaring them)
° Keep the child comfortable and clean
Your child will enjoy brushing teeth if it is fun. The following are some ways you can make it fun :
- Let your child brush your teeth. You should laugh a lot and make it a fun activity. Then have her "brush" her own teeth. Finish off by brushing your child's teeth.
- Allow your child to brush her favorite doll's teeth. Then get her to brush her own teeth and follow up by you brushing her teeth correctly.
- Let your child observe you brushing your teeth. Make it fun so that your child will want to join in as well. When your child sees you brushing your teeth and displaying good dental hygiene, they will follow.

..so busy with our church anniversary yesterday. I have no time to post in here because last Friday I and my daughter went to shopping malls to buy some stuff we needed in our church anniversary, in short “mga kakiyan”. LOL! 
Then we headed to our church in Bangkal for the final practice of our presentation. We went home about 10 in the evening. Whew!..so tired and sleepy. I have no time to be online.
Indeed, it was successful by God’s grace. Now, I’m back to blogosphere.
The year is about to end. Being a mom is a fulfillment. I know I have done my best to be the best mom for my daughter Kyla. Kyla is so sweet because every time I am sick. She will take care of me like what I did to her when she is sick. Sometimes I bully her that I will leave her because I’ll be working abroad. She will cry and then she will say “Sama ako sayo, Mama”. I will just laugh and hug her, kiss her. I can’t leave her, no way! I love her so much. She is a gift from God to us.
Christmas is for giving, we all know it. In our church, every Christmas we always have an outreach program. For me, the most memorable outreach that we had is last Christmas 2006 where we went to a remote village in the Island of Samal. It was a small village with just 23 families living on that place. Most of the people or If not all were poor. But despite of their living conditions, they were surrounded by some luscious hot and cold springs, and very abundant rain forest. Upon arriving at the place, little boys and girls got my attention immediately because of their dresses that can be compared to a rag. I want to think that it was a co-incidence that most of the gifts that we brought were clothes, but we also had grocery items for them. They were so happy when we announced that we have with us some gifts for them. We left the people so happy, they can now celebrate Christmas with their table loaded with sumptuous foods and new clothes.
This coming December 24, Christmas Eve I am having my own outreach at the Home for the Aged here in our city and distribute quality eyeglasses to the grandma’s and grandpa’s there. I ordered some stylish glasses at ZenniOptical.com. With there wide array of glasses, I didn’t had a hard time in choosing which one to buy. My orders will arrive next week and I am very excited in my Christmas Eve activity. It’s my way of sharing my blessings to other less fortunate ones. Merry Christmas to all!!!
This Christmas we asked our daughter Kyla what she wants to have for this season of the year.
I like this DORA watch for my daughter Kyla. I hope I can find like this at SM. I hope it is affordable and durable as well. I will look for this maybe this coming week so that she will use it this coming Sunday. I bought her last year a Barbie digital watch and now it needs a battery replacement. I will buy a battery for it, she can still use it anyway.
Last Saturday my daughter and I went to SM to look for her new sandal that she will be wearing next Sunday in our church anniversary. I brought her so that she can fit the sandal I want for her and I will not be returning the item because it is too big or too small for her.
Before we looked for her new sandal, we first headed to BDO to deposit her money from her Barbie bank. Gosh! The line is too long but we have no choice but to fall in that too long line than coming back another day. I’m so happy because Kyla’s money in the bank is surely enough for her schooling next year. After that, we eat our snack at Jollibee because Kyla is hungry. Then we went inside the department store and it took so long for us to find a sandal for her because almost of it is big. But still we find one for her which really fits to her dress. After that we went to Wonderland a play house because she wants to play there but we agreed that she will play for 30 minutes only because it’s too late. We need to go home because hubby is calling.
What a tiring day it was with my daughter Kyla.
The following are some tips on healthy eating for kid :
* Lead by example. In order to train a child in healthy eating, the parent or guardian must also have good eating habits. Don't expect a child to love vegetables when the parent doesn't even touch them.
* Don’t keep lots of crisps, sweets, biscuits and fizzy drinks in the house. Ration them, or keep them in a cupboard to which only you have access. Some children will graze on high-fat, high-salt snacks almost continually if left to their own devices, leaving them too full to eat a proper meal.
* Breakfast is the most important meal for children. Ensure that children do not skip this meal. Try a high-fibre, low-sugar cereal, a boiled egg with wholemeal toast, or porridge with milk and fresh orange juice to drink.
* Introduce new foods regularly. Your children are never going to eat mussels in a restaurant if they’ve never tried them at home. Let children help you cook – it may be messy and take longer, but it’ll make them interested in what they are eating.
* If your children are aged 10 or above, let them choose and cook a meal themselves sometimes. They can shop for it too, and they’ll love it!
* When you eat out, there’s no reason why it has to be McDonald’s. Take them to a local restaurant.
* Try different foods on holiday. Don’t just go for chips ‘n’ sausages.
* When you are weaning babies, try to make time to purée what you are eating, without salt. They will grow to love vegetables from an early age.
* Encourage children to exercise outside. Tired children are hungry children, and they’ll wolf down whatever’s on the plate.
Healthy eating for kid are important for a child's well being, both mentally and physically. I do hope that all parents and guardians will put in the extra effort to ensure that their child eats a healthy diet from a young age.
Papa's girl talaga!
