A Mom's Note

I almost forgot that it is already Friday. Whew! Time flies so quick. Next thing we know it's Christmas once again and I am looking forward for the incoming Holiday season. I don't keep up with the dates sometimes. Just glad I did drop EC tonight or else I won't be able to participate in "looking at the sky on Friday meme" again. Please click the badge above if you are interested in joining "Looking at the sky on Friday" meme. This is my entry for this Friday. I took this photo at around 7:30 this evening while standing by the front door. Aside from the sky, you are also seeing the neighbor's tree and roof (lol). No choice as I didn't go out for a ride today. Well, it came out pretty good though. The sky is pretty calm. Not so dark, not so bright. Enough sign that it ain't raining.

It's Tuesday once again and it's time for Heads or Tails meme. This week's theme is STEAM. I am hopeful that the 'lil girl will go to bed early tonight. Supposedly, I was going to steam iron our clothes last night but she slept so late at around 11:15 PM. Two loads of clothing are waiting for me in the laundry room. Just glad I have my steam iron. It does a great job -- fast and well-pressed. I do iron the 'lil girl's clothes as well as mine and some of hubby's regularly.

The hubby was listening to this song yesterday. It has become one of his favorites since the movie "Cars". This is one of the soundtracks of the movie. Upon hearing the song, I then fell inlove with it, too, just like the hubby. So here is James Taylor for Your Town... Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us.

Meet my bestfriends -- Roche, Victoria, Melinda (sitted) yours truly, Rachel and Luzzy . The photo was taken at Mitsubishi photo studio (2005). Just ended my conversation with Luzzy. YOu know what, since she doesn't have an idea that I blog, I might as well tell you about a little secret of hers. It ain't that much of a big deal if she bumps into this post though. Her name is actually Luzviminda. She hates her name and gets angry once teased. So instead of introducing herself as her real name, she says Luzzy. There is nothing wrong with her name, if I were to ask. Luz means light and that is a good definition. For real, she is a light to her family and friends. Such a very kind, disciplined, caring and funny lady. I met Luzzy through my friends in college. We didn't go to the same school but the bond was there. Every night after class, I and my other five friends namely Rachel, Melinda, Roche and Victoria were down the road just to meet Luzzy at her school's gate to...

Today's Head or tails theme is pale or pail . This reminds me of my childhood. When I was a kid, I used to sing the Jack n Jill song which goes... Jack n Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water Jack fell down and broke his crown... You still remember that song? Anyway, let's talk about "pale". One of my classmates in grade school reached me out through Friendster. She added me as one of her friends. Now I have accessed to view her photos. She looks so pale on some of her photos. I dunno if she is sick and I hate to ask her about it. If she really is, I hope she'll get well.

The 'lil one is saying goodbye to diaper rash. After trying several brand names, I am so glad that she is now comfortable and less cranky. It was just a little bitty red spots before but it gotten worse when I tried applying Desitin, Balmex and Aveeno on the affected area. Each medication were tried for at least three days and then followed by another when it didn't work. The hubby and I had to go back to the store to give Bourdreoux butt paste a try. I am glad we picked it up because it really does the job. It is more expensive though. After four days of religious application, the 'lil one's diaper rash is gone. Every now and then, before changing diaper, I make sure to wash and dry the area and then apply a small amount of Bourdreoux butt paste before putting her diaper on.

The first time I heard the voice of this young singer from my home country Philippines, I told myself that she is now my third favorite artist. Kyla has the voice quality that everyone wants to keep on hearing. She is so different when compared to other artists. She is a shy-type and soft spoken person as what I see on TV. Philippines R&B princess composed this song, Beautiful days, for her long-time boyfriend. Come join Music Monday and share your songs with us. One simple rule, leave ONLY the actual post link here.
