Belle s birthday party is tomorrow... Aunty Elaine showed me the gift she would be getting for her bellybutton (her endearment term for Belle)... We would probably need a box cutter to open up the gift she s getting for Belle... Will post pics next week... … View Post »

Ariel s Journey : A book of friendship, sisterhood andwith a dash ofkick-ass girl power spirit... I have always been a fan of tween adventure books... I have an almost full collection of the Famous Five, a few series of the Secret Seven and Nancy Drew.Ariel s Journey is just like anytween adventure story but with a little twist a cocktail of time travel,magical horses andlife discovery... With the help of the magical Icelandic horses the five young women were given a goldenopportunity to bond as sisters and became (do mind my language) kick ass fighting machines.I find my heart palpitating at the battle scene and with the good triumph over the evil, the ending of the story could not be any better... … View Post »

I wrote a long post but didn t get to save it in time... Spent half day getting poked for blood test, gave urine sample and ended up having IV & antibiotic drips to help subside my raging fever of 103F... For my case, it is rare since I have been successfully breastfeeding Cassie for almost 9 months... My body is achy and I m in no mood to blog... … View Post »

I was reading some news and this article chance upon me: Sex Education at Kindergarten... Apparently the British (government) thinks 5 year olds are ready fora little education aboutthe birds and bees... My daughter is turning 3 and I could not fathom the thought of having this talk in another 2 years...

The school principle made an announcement over the the loud speaker, asking all the girls to file in lines and adjourn to the dining hall... … View Post »

Belle still wears a diaper before she naps or sleeps... She has no problem saying Thank You and simply loves to say the word Please especially when she wants something... *sigh* Lately her little friend Ian has been teaching the kids new words and phrases... I spoke with her teacher about her bringing home new words and Tina said all the parents told her the same thing... … View Post »

I am seriously thinking about starting a business of my own but I m stuck at what should I do part... Every now and then Jon will send me links of small business for sale but nothing seems to interest me... Maybe I m just not ready to take the risk... I remember the day she told me about her online store... … View Post »

We managed to find a spot at the side of the road that is close to Guadalupe Park... It was a nice but windy day... We didn t check the price cos we didn t need any pumpkin... Both Jon and I would look like mad parents yelling at them to look at the camera... The organizers were smart to designate one structure for kids under the age of 4... After that we went to Tung Kee Noodle House, near San Jose State Uni,for a late lunch... On the way home I gave Belle some snacks (that we got for free from the event)... She was happily chomping on the snack, singing and talking, and then the car grew silent... … View Post »
