Little Princess and the Prince

-
I woke up early in the morning, 5:30, cooked rice, did some chores, cleaned the house, and grabbed a chance to sit down and do my sideline jobs. By 6:15, my daughter , 2 yrs and 7 months old Tabebs, came out of the room, crying. At this point in time, she seems to anchor unto me like I wouldn't come back when I leave her. She is like that for the moment. I understand this is the time when kids her age need lots of confidence and only mothers can give their children that kind of comfort and security they need.


Mommy and Tabebs




I always love to hug and kiss her, but at times when she seems to be so unruly, I hate it. I love the times when she kisses me, but when she has tantrums and she doesn't give me a peck, I ignore her. I guess that's the way kids are, very unpredictable.


Raine Cassandra, or Tabebs is a very dependent girl. She chooses her own dresses to wear, brushes her teeth alone, and shampoos her hair alone. I only give her assistance when she needs it or when she asks for it. There are times when she does not like to be pampered, there are times when all she wants is for you to carry her.


Ric Christian, or Biboy, my 7 year old son, is different. He wakes up at 6, asks for my presence and when he senses me around, asks for milk, wants me to serve his rice, and wants me to attend to his needs in going to school, things which I also enjoy doing but I am hoping he will change his ways and learn things alone. At Grade 2, I am just proud he has brought home 2 medals, and 9 ribbons of excellence. And yes, he has a perfect score in their First Semi-Periodical Exam held last Friday. And that goes for Filipino and Arts, 3 more to go for today.


Daady and Kuya Biboy




I love to share my kids with you. I hope you enjoy them too.

I am waiting for the time my daughter and her husband have children. Until then I love sharing other people's children. I enjoyed the photos and your children are adorable. You sound like such a good Mom. When I do have grandchildren I will be taking care of them so my daughter can keep her job. I can't wait. I love taking care of children.

My daughter is already 7 years old but still clings to me as if there were no other people in the world. She gets angry when she wakes up and I'm not in my bed (we sleep in the same room), unless she knows I have work...when I'm out with my friends, she calls me every now and then (asking why I'm not home yet)...and when I say I'd be home by this time, I'd better be there because I will get "spanked"! Not that I'm complaining though. I'm savoring that "godly" treatment because I know time will come when she'd rather be with her friends than me. :)
It's nice to read about similarities about our kids ano?

@kenjebshiela: thanks for the visit. There are many more i would really want to share but some people and visitors dont really know me that well, so I guess it's better sharing myself first than others I must blog about.

@joanharvest: Yes, kids are really great. My mother-in-law takes care of the children since we both have work, she does not want babysitters around so she is really hands-on with the kids. I am lucky she is!

@kumareng grace:Pareho tayo ng experience about our kids, hay naku, minsan nakakainis, pero I have to be patient with them. Mabilis silang lumaki, I might not notice them but soon enough they will be binata at dalaga na. Thanks for the visit.

Hello Shengmarie! I'm sorry I was not around when you first commented on my blog so I am a little late coming here. But I am finally here and I do love the photos of your children. They are adorable. I like that you seem to appreciate the small things in life. I think that is one secret to being truly happy. Thanks for visiting my blog and commenting. Let's continue to visit each other! :)

Warning! Allergic Reactions Appear

And what would that be? You would surely ask that. Last week, I found myself scratching my legs because they are so itchy. There's this blotches in it wherein the skin looks like it has been stung by a bee, or a mosquito bite. I scratched it and whoa, it became wider. It was all over my legs, mostly near below the knee part. I was aghast at what has become of my legs, and thinking it was allergy from something, I bought myself Celestamine for the allergy. Celestamine is an anti-allergic medicine. However, this med will surely keep you drowsy. A few hours after I had the pill, the itch and the blotches were gone, leaving my legs some map-kind of red leftover from my scratches. And so i was happy. The following day, I had been watching my diet and the foods I eat, thinking the allergy came from the santol I had(though I ate none of it again), the blotches were again visible in my legs. This time, it spread through my arms, and my hands. I felt very itchy that I could only cry my e...

Famous Cultural Landmark in Surallah, South Cotabato

We went to Lake Sebu last Saturday to celebrate my brother's 16th birthday, and while on our way to witness the majestic falls, we were already planning to drop by Surallah to check out their most famous cultural landmark, the round ball. I do not really know how it was named the Round Ball since it seems so redundant to be called as such but to question it, honestly, won't give you much intelligent answer as we also have round balls in Koronadal City and General Gantos City. Actually a rotunda, but ever since has been called the Round Ball. Unveiled last March 15, 2011, it’s towering, obelisk-like central piece of a 2-string lute points straight to heaven , silhouetted by the blue sky at more than 60 feet above the ground. Called he’galong by indigenous T’bolis, the slim lute seemingly grows from the core of a huge, endemic , bulb plant bohong, the elongated leaves of which spread out in radial fashion . ( via ) I have heard about this new landmark that Surallah boasts o...

The First Ever Traditional B'laan Wedding Ritual I Witnessed

Image
It was a beautiful Saturday morning when we visited Kinilis, in Polomolok. I was with Nanards and two visiting friends from Davao City, Emi, and her American husband, Joshua. They wanted to go see the kafe balos because it has been very famous now, and they wanted to invest into the business. Sir Fred mentioned there was a tribal wedding that very day so it was a fortunate day for us to witness something different, a customary tribal wedding rite. We went inside the house for they explained to us that the traditional B'laan wedding is being held inside the house of the bride where the couple has to sit on a mat and surrounded by relatives and witnesses. The bride was very beautiful that day, she was adorned with T'nalak inspired accessories, and her hair was placed with a beautiful headdress made of brass. Her hips was surrounded by a brass belt where hundreds of small bells were making noise each time she moves. And she was fully clothed in a colorful B'laan attire, and s...
