Eraserheads Live, The Final Set Concert: Tickets are Now Available

Waaaaah, malapit na, wala pa akong budget, huhuhu! I've been excitedly waiting for this since nabitin kami last time. Ayaw na daw ni hubby since nakanood na daw kami. Birthday gift ko pa naman sa kanya. Hehehe, pero kung ayaw nya talaga, 'di ko sya pipilitin... basta ako manonood ako kahit magisa, harhar! Ang problema nga, eh, wala pa kong money. Ang mahal nang VIP tickets nila ngayon. Imagine 5K isa, eh 'di kung dalawa kami ni hubby, tumataginting na 10K na 'yun, hindi ko na afford, waaaah! Siguro dun na lang kami sa 1300 kung magkaka budget. Kung wala talaga, kahit 'yung 300 papatulan ko, makanood lang, hahaha (daming bayarin, tapos magbi-birthday pa si Masheng sa March kaya kailangan makapag budget mabuti)!

Adik ba, hehe, hindi naman. Mukha kasing last na talaga 'to so I couldn't miss this chance.

Haaay, kailangan talagang mag ipon para tuloy ang ligaya!

Masheng's 7th Magazine Appearance

Yey, ganda ng gising ko! We're at Moms Today again! This issue's theme is Bath Time! Thanks ulit Moms Today!

Masheng is a certified water baby! Kahit saan, basta may tubig, go sya! Mapa timba, palanggana, bath tub, inflatable pool, big pool, beah or kahit gripo lang, eh, siguradong mag eenjoy sya! That's why she had so many pictures taking a bath, swimming, splishing and splashing or just enjoying the water!

On her baby tub. She was just months old here.

Enjoy sa Palanggana!

Masheng Frequently Blinks Her Eyes

Haaay, I got so worried! We first noticed it last Thursday. Akala ng lahat nung una, nagpapa cute lang! Mahilig kasi syang mag "Beautiful Eyes". They were also saying na mannerism lang daw. 'Wag daw pansinin at mawawala rin. But of course as a mom, I know that it was something that shouldn't be ignored.

I tried researching about it first. I though that it was some kind of a static tic which is said to be common in kids (It's a repeated involuntary muscular movements, affecting either limb muscles, facial muscles... examples are grimacing or eyelid flicking or vocal muscles etc.). Well, I found out na normal lang daw 'yun and nawawala 'din daw in time. Pero nakakatakot pa din. Pano kung hindi na mawala? Kung anu ano tuloy ang naiisip ko. And pano rin kung hindi pala 'yun ang reason? I've also read about Tourett Syndrome (it's more serious than just having ordinary motor tics) and I was so scared by the thought of my baby having it!

Dahil nga sa hindi ako mapakali at sa kung anu ano ang naiisip ko, I told my hubby Joms to bring Masheng to the hospital yesterday. At least kung may problem nga eh, maagapan. Thank God, it was just a minor irritation according to the doctor! He just gave Masheng an ointment to be applied on her lids while she's asleep.

Haaay, sana mabilis siyang gumaling para mawala na totally ang worries ko! Hopefully, she'd be ok by Sunday. She'll be having a photoshoot kasi. Baka mamaya, puro kirat or nakapikit ang kalabasan ng mga pictures nya, hehehe! But of course, what's most important for me, eh, 'yung maalis ang discomfort nya.

Masheng's 6th Magazine Appearance

Yehey! What a very nice year starter!

It's our first time with Moms and Kids! At this time, hindi lang si Masheng ang kasali, pati kami! We had our very first appearance at MandK Family Moments.

Actually, matagal na 'to sa akala ko wala na... Thanks a lot Moms and Kids! Sa uulitin po, hihihi!

Masheng Got Sick :(

Yesterday was our first time to get really worried about Masheng. First time namin syang nakitang talagang hindi okey (although she was trying to show us that she was).

Actually, days before pa lang eh, on and off na ang fever nya due to cough and colds. Napa-check up na rin namin sya last Tuesday and she's been taking medications since then. Nag improve naman sya. Actually, masigla sya at 'di na nilagnat ulit the whole day. Until, 'nung gabi nga, ayun na, nataranta kaming lahat.

At first, akala namin giniginaw lang sya. So, binihisan ko ng sweater at pajama. Kanta kanta pa kami and I was even taking her video. Akala ko antok lang sya since her eyes were so drooppy and she looked sleepy tired. Later ko lang na-realize na parang iba 'yung complexion nya, (para bang maputla na medyo nangingitim) plus wala ring kulay ang hands at feet nya. I called hubby immediately at napansin 'din nya nga na parang may iba so he called my cousin Murrey (who's a nursing grad). Sugod naman silang lahat to see Masheng and 'yung nga, kahit sila napansin na something was wrong with her. Pero kahit ganun sya, pinipilit pa rin nyang kumanta at makipagkulitan sa kanila. We decided to bring her to the hospital right away. Actually, sumunod lang ako since working time ko nung nangyari 'yun at hindi ako pwedeng basta umalis dahil kailangang ko pang magpaalam. Pinilit kong 'wag maiyak kahit sa totoo lang, sobrang worried ako. I prayed to God and tried to relaxed while thinking that she'd be ok. Right after settling things, sumugod na rin ko sa hospital, Hindi na nga ako nagbihis kaya nakarating ako sa hospital nang naka tshirt at short na pambahay...

When I got there, andun sila sa reception area. Kumarga si Masheng sa akin and asked for water. Mainit na sya that time pero sabi nila, bumaba na daw ang lagnat. Imagine, her body temperature was 39.8! Hindi namin alam, kinu-kumbulsyon na pala ang anak ko! Nasa loob daw kasi ang lagnat nya nung una kaya hindi namin narealize agad. Nataranta na rin siguro kami kaya hindi na kami nakapag first aid sa house at dineretso na agad sya sa hospital. We stayed there for maybe more than an hour. Habang andun, inaaliw namin si Masheng kasi medyo cranky and sleepy na sya. Buti na lang at nakatulog din. She got ok afterwards so we decided not to have her admitted anymore. She had a blood and and a urine test. Wala namang nakita sa blood nya. Unfortunately, the doctor found out that she has UTI so kailangan syang resetahan ng panibagong antibiotic.

at the hospital... in mama's arms

Sleepy and tired.

She's quite ok now. Although there are moments na nagiging cranky pa din. Inoobserbahan pa rin namin sya kasi baka maulit 'yung nangyari kagabi. Haaay, nakaka paranoid. Parang gusto ko maya't maya syang dalhin sa hospital just to make sure that there's nothing wrong with her.
