I've been watching tagalog movies with Jens and he's catching the fever. There are times that instead of opting for The Wiggles, he'll tell me, let's watch "tagalop". Hahaha. He's really so cute when he says that.One time, he told Mcj, I'm a Filipino. Hahaha. Beat that.He can also say "maganda" in the song: Sampung mga daliri kamay at paa dalawang mata dalawang tainga ilong na maganda...Though we don't talk tagalog at home, I still want Jens to know a few words so he can talk to his cousins when we go back to the Philippines again....

We are Joyful
As if I got Linksys router at home so I can blog while I am watching TV or just lazying around in bed. You Are Very JoyfulYou may not be happy all of the time, but you experience frequent moments of joy in your life.There are moments so perfect that time has stood still and you wish you could freeze it forever.You are so joyful because you appreciate the small things in life. You know joy is more about who you are than what you have.You are thankful...

The Money Barrel
I bought this sometime in the early month of this year. Mcj asked me why did I choose the big one - so it will fill more? Hahaha. We don't religiously put money in it. Just when The Tatapilla remembers or when we want to distract him from something - it's a good distraction you know. It has about a fifth filled. A tad heavy for Jens to pick-up.We don't have plan what to buy for his savings - it's just the habit of putting money aside that we want...

My, Mine, Etc..
Jens is at that stage now – everything at home is his even if somebody is holding it. The biggest thing he owns so far is “my car”. I just find it amusing.The Wiggles is his favourite band – if you may call them that. He watch their DVD in the morning when he wakes up, before going to sleep during daytime on weekends and if I will let him, before going to sleep at night. And the funny thing is, not all their songs are loved by him. If I’m around to fiddle the remote, he would be screaming “no like it” 20 seconds after the start of every song....
Not a Little Boy Anymore
Just this week, The Tatapilla declared that he’s no longer a little boy. His words “no little boy, I a big guy”. My, my, my. Our little bundle of joy is growing up so fast we’re running out of breath to catch up. I’m at a loss of words to explain how I feel. Proud. Happy. Excited. Ecstatic. A bit sad – you know, I’m sure most mothers can empathise. His carer told us that Jens is quite good in his language and vocabulary. He is also doing well in puzzles especially shapes. He holds pens or pencils like a pro when writing. The carers...

Heart This
I'm addicted. Really. To this. How I love it.They are just so sweet and "kakakilig ha"! I can't wait to see their third movie. Hopefully, I could get a copy even if I'm here.Anyway, been online long enough. It's time to make tucker and maybe check a walk in tu...
Health Update
Jens is quite good now, since Friday afternoon actually. He got his appetite back - stuffing himself with anything. The non-stop eater is back. He is still coughing and very mucousy. But he hasn't had any fever since Friday night so that's a very good news. I hope whatever he has is not swine flu or if it is (I can't do anything about it), he is getting over it. He lost a bit of weight - I can see and feel it when I hold his bare arms but nothing to worry about. He was a bit beefed up before that he just used up his buffer. The Wiggles is...
On Toys
Jens' Nanna always say that we are buying toys way ahead of his age. Yes we do. But I think, we are just being smart and wise. Why would we buy toys or clothes for that matter for his age, when he'll just grow out of it in three months? We are also thinking ahead. We want toys that will last and he will enjoy longer. So far our big investments, yes I call it investments, are his push bike, his pedal bike and big black car. I know he likes...
