This Two-Hour Rotational Brownout

Is it inconvenient? For a mom who has a three year old lil guy in the house, it can be somehow especially when it gets hot and you have to constantly and manually fan the lil one so he won’t sweat so much. For today, we are now experiencing it and waiting for one hour more to go.

I just thought awhile ago, that to make it easy for me, I’ll just think this is our version of Earth Hour happening everyday two one-hours in a row. Earth Hour is only for an hour. This brownout is for two hours now since the late afternoon Thursday announcement from the local electric company. Let’s think we are doing this for mother earth. Actually we can do more. Save energy consumption every day though we cannot do away with that with the A/C for the lil boy and it is summer already and has become so hot lately. Hubby would say we have to make it comfortable for the lil guy in the house.

Don’t forget friends the real Earth Hour 2010 event on March 27, 2010 Saturday from 8:30PM to 9:30PM. Switch off your lights for one hour for mother earth… for the Earth Hour. Your little contribution is significant. If everyone in the country participate sin this, it will still make a significant difference. If you could do it everyday, why not? There need not be an event for us to do something for mother nature.

Architectural Style

While waiting for the lil boy to finish eating and watching TV, I decided to browse through for those pine shutters I saw at a coffee shop we passed through last week. It looks something like this one on the photo.

It gives the place a nice architectural style that I wish we can have as part of the design in our dream home. I used to browse through this custom shutter company site which has pine shutters that are hand crafted and  custom built made of high quality material and guaranteed superior craftsmanship. It both has durability and good design of shutters that adds style to one’s dream home.

Tata Benito’s Coffee Mug

Tata Benito’s a whole latte love coffee mug which I was still trying to decide to buy or not yesterday when we were at their coffee shop in Robinson’s Cybergate. I’ll try to buy this next time with the set that costs P350. I’d like to add this to my collection of coffee mugs from different coffee shops we’ve been to. Or if someone will give it to me as a birthday gift then I’ll be very happy to accept it, right dad? LOL!

Good Night

Good night friends! It has been a long, long day. Fortunate to have a break earlier having dinner with the boys out before we went to the grocery to buy some stuff for th lil boy’s needs. Then hubby and I were able to have a little break for our selves by dropping by the coffee shop and haing some time to relax while the lil boy sleeps. Then off we went to the grocery and back home in no time. Thank you lord for the blessings and for this poductive day.

Ouch

“Ouch” I could hear our neighbor in the house next to the apartment shout in pain. It made me wonder if she was okay so when I had a chance to go out yesterday afternoon on our way to church, I asked one of her house maids who was then cleaning outside about what happened to her. She said that their maam’s mother is suffering from severe joint pain for a few days already and then grandchild was trying to tug at his grandma to play with him but the child tried to let her stand. Of course she could not walk that easily anymore due to the pain that’s why the grandma shouted. Even if I were in her shoes I would feel the pain too. It might be frustrating for both of them coz those two used to play a lot outside the house when we first arrived here last year. They were close and the child must be wondering why he can’t play with her anymore now.

Protecting My Skin

My sister who is into the beauty business so to speak, told me protecting my skin should be something I should not neglect even if I am a busy stay-and-work at home mom. I am usually just a soap and water kind of person and not much into those beauty stuff. But for the past month or so I have started using to cleanse my face a foaming cleanser of a rather popular brand. My sis on the other hand suggested I use facial creams and moisturizers. I told her her I’ll think about it and somehow I have started my own kind of research for the best day cream and night cream, as well as moisturizer for my skin type. It ain’t easy coz am not much into this kind of stuff. I have yet to ask perosnally my friends around who uses them for suggestions and recommendation. though I have started browsing through review sites of such products to give me some idea on those products. It would also help to ask for advice from the professional and experts on this stuff. But for now, I think protecting my skin from too much sun exposure would be a good start then also like getting a good night sleep and the rest will follow.

Well Child Visit

How much I would wish this would be another “well child visit” to be noted by our lil boy’s pedia later but as it is the lil one has cough and started to have a slight fever since late yesterday afternoon. But he remains lively, playful and cheerful as ever. So moms and moms-to-be out there should very well know the importance of taking care of their babies even from the start of pregnancy by taking prescribed prenatal vitamin by the OB-gyn that will help babies develop  well, and as for up to now with vitamin supplements recommended by your child’s pedia to help them become stronger and more resistant to illness and diseases in addition to the scheduled vaccinations given.

May the Lord heal me and my boys especially the lil boy. Let this be a well child visit indeed and may he need not take antibiotics.  We are so thankful to my mommy and daddy as well as my family for their prayers and support always for me and the boys. My own family never rejected or neglected our call for help.
