ParenTINtv Talk Series 3

Last Saturday, Sept 11, ParenTIN tv held it’s third talk, Guide To Investing Your Child’s Future. The talk was held in Henry Sy Auditorium at St Luke’s Fort Bonifacio. This is my first time to be here and I can say that the hotel er the hospital is so elegant.. yeah much like a hotel (forgot to take a photo of the lobby). The hospital’s facility were shown in a slide show.. but I wish, they had toured us around the hospital instead..

As mentioned above, the talk was about investment for our kids. There was a talk about bank savings and insurance. I was tempted to ask about car insurance rates but there was a sign in their booth that says, life insurance, so I guess, they would only discuss about life insurance. Yes, there’s a lot of booths.

Let me enumerate:

Au Lait Maternity and Nursing a one stop boutique for pregnant and breastfeeding mom. They carry the the brand Mothers En Vogue- Singapore’s leading breastfeeding fashion brand.

ProudMama is the store that introduced me to FUNKY FEET (not quite shoes). The store carries other products like nursing covers, Funkytubes Playsleeves, Tee Hee Playshirts (I’ll buy one for Sati as soon as one fits her), Bra Extenders and even crayon rolls (an apron designed to hold crayons and other arts and crafts stuff)

Mamaway’s Nursing Wear aims to help breastfeeding moms to look beautiful, confident and being comfortable at the same time. They offer a wide variety of stylish and fashionable nursing tops. They also offer maternity clothes that will make any pregnant mommy feels super sexy.

Triple PLus A, a store that offers chich and cute clothes for your toddlers.

Precious Herbal Pillow. A store that offers organic pillows that revolutionize the use of pillow and microwave. OK to give you a hint, the pillow is made of 100% natural grain, aromatic herbs and essential oils. Heat it in the microwave and use it to soothe an aching muscle.. I tried it and I can tell that it really does soothe.. and the smell of the pillows are very soothing too.

Bag Hooks And Clip Organizers. Along with the pillow, are bag hooks and clip organizers. Will post more about this on my fashion blog.

Other booths outside the audiroium are:

PS Bank booth where they offer free photos for every people who fill up their form.
Pru Life of UK where they offer pick a prize in exchange for the participant’s info.
Dona Maria premium quality brown rice where they gave free rice.
Off Lotion was also there to give some sample.

Inside the auditorium, we were welcomed by:

Galileo Enrichment Program. Their space where occupied by kids as expected as they offer a lot of activities for kids such as coloring.

Baby Magazine, a magazine that talks, what else, but babies.

Ainon Baby Products and yes the twin entertained us once again.. something that Sati found so amusing.

Baby Co. was there too and they give away a 15k worth of nursery stuffs like stroller, diapers..

Sulit Pinoy StreetBalls was the negosyo start up package that was given to the most numbered of referred attendees.

Ten Months Of Happiness

Can you imagine that? It has been ten months since I gave birth to her (OK ten months last Sept 8). The point is, time flies so fast, more than a year ago, I was this very pregnant mom who cried her heart out in SM Megamall’s bathroom upon knowing that it is indeed a girl. And now, this little girl is forever making us happy, her antics, her smile.. everything about her, we love so much.

At ten months, she can now stand alone for awhile (about a minute), she can clap her hands, blow a flying kiss. She also knows how to kiss mommy or her brothers or even Daddy. And she sure do knows how to wake us up by slapping our face. She waves bye bye whenever she see people leaving but hates it when his dad is in his Polo shirt. She’s ten months and she’s more adorable than ever. Oh, she got 4 teeth now!

Bye bye

flying kiss!

And who says she can’t eat ice cream on her day?

see how big her play pen is, even her brothers and their play mates can join her…

One morning, I woke up and she was not on my side. It’s a good thing that we only sleep on mattress, if not she would have fall on our bed. Oh there she was on my laptop table, pretending to be like Mommy. Maybe it a few more years, she will be taking over most of my blogs, or create one for herself.

She’s really getting bigger everyday..

I Suck On Contest But Lucky On FRIENDS

That was my Facebook status. That’s because I suck on contests. And though Red’s journey as a blogger involves a lot of winnings, mine does not. I don’t believe in luck, I believe in hard working, so for some contests that I have won, there’s effort on it and not luck.

But that is not the point.

The point is, my most memorable experience as blogger, an official entry to Red’s Blogversary Contest.

Events? The allure of going out, attending like a press and being treated like a press? And bringing home a lot of freebies?

nah.

Earnings? as in $$$$$

quite.

The most memorable experience I had is the time I opened my life to the blogniverse. That was when I poured my emotions on how happy I was to have a baby girl finally. Here’s some part of that article:

During the time that the OB was explaining and checking the baby, counting the fingers, heart rate, diameter etc, the more important things, my mind is winning (it says it’s a boy dammit! Stop hoping!). And so when she finally says let’s take a look on the sex and we can’t find any balls, I was ecstatic, I was happy; I was everything words cannot explain. It was more than having a Page Rank of 10, more than having an Alexa ranking of 1, it was more than having 100 comments a day. The feeling was more than I could imagine, more that I have ever felt in my whole life. Oh shit just right now while writing this, I am crying. I cried a little, was embarrassed to do a cry a river scene there. I kept my composure but my whole body is aching, there is so much happiness in me that I need to let out. As soon as I got the results I went to the nearest bathroom and poured my emotions there. I guess I convinced myself too much that it was a boy. I really did not expect it to be a girl. I know now how it feels when you want something so bad but gave up on it already.

It was my most memorable experience as 11 people shared the same happiness to me and dream with me, pray with me and wait with me..

FRIENDSHIP.

more than that. the most apt is HOME.

I found a home in the blogniverse, in the arms of this ladies who haven’t even met me yet. These are the ladies that made me whole, made me feel loved and gave me the reason to believe on magic. I have never felt this good to other people. I just cannot explain the closeness and the bond that we all share. That is the best thing that ever happened to me as a blogger. Finding my marces, finding my sisters.

And as the day goes by and as I meet more and more people, I still cannot imagine how lucky I am for these ladies. There is no one that can come close to what I had found in my marces and for that I am forever thankful to discovering blog.. if not for that, I wouldn’t have the courage to open my life to them. And I wouldn’t have the chance to be part of their lives too.

I love you guys!
