A Gentleman on the Bus


gentleman & mademoiselle

The other night, as I was trying to get home early, I took the first trip even if I have to stay half way through the trip. We were ushered at the back of the bus and I prepared myself and hang on the bar. Not sure if someone tapped my shoulder but I looked to my right. I didn't quite hear as I have my earphones on but it seemed to me the man was offering his seat to no other than.. moi.

I'm guessing from his attire, he's a yuppie on his home. I looked around for pregnant woman or an elderly whom I think deserves the seat more than me. I saw a man maybe on his late 40s but I think he might feel offended if I offered the seat to him instead. He's not yet the type worries about hair loss for men or stuffs like that.

And so I plump myself on the seat, after clearly thanking the guy for his kind gesture.

That is how the new doctor classified my little girl with her weight for her age. As expected, he doesn't recommend strict diet or try some best weight loss products but still suggested we do something for her to lose some weight. I think we can't do much about her food intake as she barely eats, obviously we can't cut her milk intake either. We'll just have to figure out how she can have more physical activities and burn all those fat. Anyway, we didn't go there for weight issues.

Hubby decided we ought to bring Dani to her pedia to have a look on the red bumps on her forearms and legs. It has been more than a week since it first appeared and we're thinking it's getting worst. Doc says it's nothing viral but simply an allergic reaction to something her skin must have had contact with (like grass or bed mites). He prescribed a non-drowsy anti-histamine to be taken for 5days and topical ointment to relieve the itchiness.

I learned a lot from the doctor today. As much as I want to believe that my little girl is strong and healthy, stuffs like these reminds me she's still vulnerable just the same.

The Cake


4th Birthday Party

I didn't really gave much thought on the party details to the point I even forgot about the cake. I figured I can stop by Goldilocks Bakeshop and buy a generic chocolate cake. But then, I thought we're supposed to have a Barbie Themed Party and since I was already in SM Dasma at the time, at least I can try to look what bakeshop carries the brand.

Anyways, upon finding this cute cake, I called hubby to confirm if ok to buy na. Unfortunately, their branch does not deliver and we'll have to pick it up as soon as the mall opens.

Friday came and dutifully hubby went to get the cake. The kids' faces lit up upon seeing the huge box that came with it.

4th Birthday Party

Cupcakes are perfect for extra giveaways or dessert for the party. I had to borrow a box cutter to get these babies out.
