What did you do for Mother Nature the other day? If I have netbooks powered on, I would have unplugged it the whole day if only I remembered it was Earth Day harhar

Heard Starbucks took P40 off on your beverage if you brought a cup with you :D Saving the Earth is such a big deal but nobody seems to care that much. Tragic.

Swimming Classes


Swimming Classes
Originally uploaded by kitakitts

This was taken during her 2nd class, Apr16. Today was her 4th day and she was having a blast as usual. Unfortunately, it rained and since dani recently developed a fear of thunderstorm or heavy rains, fun was cut short and she begged we go home immediately.

I'm currently struggling as how I can address her new fear. Specially now that rainy season is threatening to come soon and end the summer earlier.

Anyways, I'm happy to report that with the help of her floaters, she can swim on her own regardless of how deep the water is. Her yabang moment is when she floats on her back with such ease :D Her overconfidence in the water is the main reason I wanted her to learn how to swim. Baka kasi malunod pag akala nya kaya na nya.

If I'm not mistaken, we still have 8 more sessions to go. We'll see what new tricks she'll learn by then.

Do you think we'll ever get to swim in San Diego hotel's pool? :D

Summer Outing

Despite dani's persistent cough, we joined our company's summer outing at Wild Orchid Resort in Olongapo. We left cavite around 430am, off from makati by 545am. We made two stops and arrived at around 10am. Snacks were served and the games started. Was not able to participate, we decided to stroll by the beach (not much like Outer Banks) and see if Dani will like it. She cried when her dress was caught by the waves and got wet :p

The heat was getting to dani's nerves (and she in mine) as she's whining already an hour after. By 1130am, we headed to the pool, which tasted a bit salty btw, and dani's mood dramatically improved the moment she touched the water :D She didn't want to leave the pool come lunch time so I proceeded to take a bite by myself and left them at the pool. Minutes later, ate glen and dani are headed towards me. Hinahanap daw ako as usual, so eat muna kami and then balik din agad sa pool after.

We took a shower by 330pm and pig ourselves with the afternoon snacks. Quick awarding ceremonies while dani bonked out for almost an hour. We left the resort by 5pm and window shopped at a duty free store. We were off to manila by 7pm, slept the whole time and arrive almost 10pm already. Hubby was patiently waiting for us and finally headed home :D

In retro, this was the first time I spent a long bus drive with my daughter. Ok naman, as I've said, natulog lang din kaming parehas :) I didn't give her the ipod to watch dora until later na nung nasa resort na kami (during the games).

Kikay


If I were to literally translate this as my daughter's future career, obviously you'll find her in some pink nail salon, doing french tip and maybe selling some term insurance on the side ;) I've no problem with that, so long as she's happy :D Talk about great expectations, ey?!

I bought this Disney Kikay Set at SM Dasma for less than P80, goes with a nail polish, lip gloss and eyeshadow :) I thought she'd forgotten about it but suddenly remembered it after playing some time in Barbie's website :D

Bought it from one of the stores in Subic. Sabi ng asawa ko puros chichiria lang naman daw ang nauwi ko :p Well apart from some toiletries, medyo totoo nga hehe
Taking one of those diet pills might not work for me as long as I do binge eating. Oh well, lets pray I do more swimming and pump my heart a little :D At least I can say I'm doing something than nothing at all ;)

I am home with my Dani :D Today's her third swimming lesson. Not quite sure if I'll take a dip myself considering I'm already couple of tones darker. It's been raining a lot lately but we have plenty of sunshine this morning.

Maybe we can get Pablo on of those pet beds? Nah, I think he'll just tear or chew it into pieces :p

Preschool Hunt

Was on leave today, supposed to accompany dani in her first day of swimming lessons. She has cough, so we'll attend the thursday class instead. Doubt if she's all better tomorrow but hoping we'll make it on thursday.

Together with Leal and his parents, dani and I went preschool hunting this afternoon. We went to three preschool, inquired about tuition and stuffs and saw their classroom and facilities (no LCD mount and tv in their classrooms). One of which is offering a 15day summer class for P3.8k. I've yet to discuss this with hubby later.

Will have Dani be scheduled for assessment by next week to see if she qualifies for nursery. Time to look at their leaflets closely for their list of requirements.

Dr. Chase has been keeping me busy most of my nights. In preparation for the long vacation, hubby bought me several deebeedees which remains untouched as I write. I'm on my second season, still have three more seasons to catch up so while I'm off doing differential diagnosis with the team, wearing sexy mini dress under my white coat, you may find latest pics and some kwentos in Flickr :D

Unconventional Stroller for Dani

Cool, huh?! :D Unlike Bob stroller or any stroller I've seen before this one is definitely one of a kind :D In one of our horse backriding sessions, one of the caretaker told us we can buy a horse for P15K-20K. Even if our homeowners association will allow us to keep one for ourselves, she might have not enough room in our house anyway.

Happy Easter

Not that I want to steal the show from Bro, it just seems a good time to relive this blog, dont you think? :D

I'm scared to go to work tomorrow. Problems always jump at me after long vacations, as if welcoming me back to work.

I'm green with envy after seeing my sister's new toy but I'll just have to make do with mine as I am only starting to know how to play with it seriously (if there's such a thing as serious playing hehe) pray i'll be able to resist when it's on sale ;)
