Shoes
Hmmm....this topic made me think of cleaning up my shoe cabinet again to give out those pairs I seldom use.
My Little Helper
I was laughing while reviewing the pics and vid. And here's her finished product:
Helpful and industrious noh? Di nga lang pulido ang trabaho, hehehe :D
Student Driver: Day Two
I feel accomplished as I've learned backing, crossing on intersections, changing lanes, and turning to left and right.
Whew! I can't believe I'm really driving!
I'm not nervous now...can't wait for tomorrow's session.

Jaden Updates
Here are some updates on her that I want to chronicle.
- Her prayers already have content. She has a different prayer when we go to bed and before meal time. It will be a roll call of names before going to sleep. Before meal time naman, she’ll thank the Lord for the rice and “ulam”.
- She will ask her nanny to call me in the office when she wants to talk to me. Minsan I will be surprised when my phone rings at sya yung nasa kabilang linya. She’ll tell me what she’s doing, that she’s eating already or has taken her bath.
- She knows it when it’s her daddy that I’m talking to on the phone. She’ll sit besides me and listen and will ask me to give the phone to her. She’ll tell me “U-ap daddy, mommy…”
- She knows how to open the ref to get her chuckie. If she want another bottle of milk, she’ll tell me by saying, “One more dede, mommy”
- She knows how to say “No” and “ayaw” when she doesn’t want something.
- She knows that I am going somewhere when she sees me changing clothes. And she’ll ask this question: “Mommy, ayish na tayo? Come on mommy, ayish na tayo” kala niya kasama siya lagi. :D
- She’ll drag me to the dinner table when she sees her yaya setting the table. Kahit di pa tapos mag prepare si yaya, she’ll drag me and will say, “Eat na tayo...”
- She interchanges “Ako”and “ikaw”. Sometimes, she’ll say ikaw but really she’s referring to her self.
- She can easily answer with “opo” on her statements.
- She knows it when I’m angry. She knows how to say “sorry po mommy” or “sorry po yaya”. She also always say "Thank you" when she is given something. And she know how to say "excuse me po".
- She will say I love you to me with hugs and kisses pa.
- She’s trying to be independent. Sometimes, she doesn’t want me to hold her when going down the chair or climbing up (she can climb up the table or chair on her own). She also doesn’t want her yaya to hold her when she’s trying to go up on stairs
- She can sing Bahay Kubo, Ako ay May Lobo, Tong Tong Pakitong-kitong, Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Tomorrow, Pen pen De Sarapen in complete lyrics (bulol nga lang). She loves singing and she sings to her daddy over the phone. She also sings to some of her favorite commercials on TV. She loves the commercial of Knorr’s “Makulay ang Buhay”I think she'll be like her mom.
- She’s becoming pickier with the food she eats. If she don’t want the food she’ll put it in her mouth but she’ll spew it out after a while. Napa face the wall ko siya one time because of this. I know children couldn’t stand long hours standing, facing a wall. Pero yun kasi ang madaling way to discipline. But the mother in me, di ko rin pinatagal. I couldn’t stand seeing her looking at me na nagpapaawa. I talked to her and told her that what she did was not good. She said sorry and embraced me so tight. Napagalitan pa ako ng husband ko dahil dun. Di ko daw dapat pinarurusahan ang bata. But this is one thing I know na di naman mabigat na way to discipline di ba? After I did that to her, natakot na siya gawin ulit ^_^.

Million Dollar Friend
Mhay, we share a lot of common things together since her daughter and mine have the same age. Also we are struggling to keep our lives normal inspite the fact that our husbands are far away from home.
Kitts - we also have things in common. I love reading her blog on how she raises her daughter as well. I learn some things just by reading her blog.
Lilet - She's an officemate and a friend. We seem to be at the same "wavelength".
Vannie - I learn a lot just by reading her blogs. I consider and treasure her as one of my blog friends.
Toni - She's also an officemate and friend to me. I was able to learn about w@w and n@w and BUB and how to make money blogging through her :D.
Talking about home
I was checking a home furniture site recently. Their sample designs were amazing and enticing. With the things I saw, it made me think about the picture of our would-be house. It’s really good to imagine. The paints, the designs, those things…I’m already excited.
If everything went well with our HDMF application, we’ll have the house by March next year. I will then have the opportunity to decorate and design it according to my taste. It’s pretty small (maybe there's no need for a home theater lighting) but at least it will be a house we can call our own.
In "other" Words: A Noble Task
How sad that others got married without the desire to become parents. It’s also breaks my heart to hear stories of women longing to have a child of their own but not fortunate to have one. As for me, I’m thankful that God blessed me with a daughter. I know that she is a responsibility but I see it a wondrous taks and I humbly and gladly taking it for I know that God will be there. He will be my constant companion in raising my daughter to what God wants her to be.
“Dear Lord,
I do not ask that Thou shouldst give me
some high work of thine,
some noble calling
or some wondrous task.
Give me a little hand to hold in mine.”

Manic Monday #13
If you could take more control of one aspect of your life, what would it be?
If you were to name the difference between the male soul and the female soul, what would it be?
Hmmm..questions are getting tougher?!?maybe female: aims for security, male: aims for control? I don't really know :D
If you had to admit the most selfish thing you do on a regular basis, what would you say it is?
Blogging time? :D

Student Driver: Day One
So, I arrived at the driving school on time. My instructor was already there. After filling and signing up some documents my instructor ushered me to the car (whew!). I felt a little bit nervous. It will be my second time to sit on the driver’s seat. The last time was 10 years ago and I cannot remember driving since then. He did a pre-driving orientation first, medyo nakakalito and I felt conscious kasi si Mr. Instructor e nagpapa-cute pa (shucks and kaasar) tumigil lang when I told him that I’m married.

Thankful and Planning
- I'm thankful that finally I already recieved my refund from my previous developer. I didn't expect that the amount is higher that what I'm thinking, and I am so thankful...really.
- Hubby's papers after 2 weeks of waiting finally came. These are the things I need so I can start processing his PoP membership from HDMF. I was worried that It won't reach me since I don't really trust snailmail that much, coz the last time I sent him a letter it didn't reach him. I thankful that God protected the mail.
- I'm thankful for the joy my daughter brings everyday....I have been so busy last week but she keeps me sane and happy :)
- I'm thankful for all the blessings I've recieved. I was thankful also for guiding me during a challenging experienced I had last Monday. ;)
*******
Monday is a holiday so that means bonding time with my toddler. I'm also planning to visit a nearby driving school to inquire about a class. Finally, I'm enrolling...my student permit is expiring next month, so I really have to enroll now.

Here's my answer:
Eversince we're young, my mom taught us household chores so I know that I can live even without a nanny or helper. I've started doing the laundry when I was in grade 5 (handwashing lang kami before because we don't have machine)...and that's one thing I don't like doing plus ironing clothes. Paglutuin mo na lng ako :D hehe
