Goin' Gaga over Baby Gaga

Motherhood is universal.

And forums only prove that moms the world over undergo the same joys and trials in parenting.

One of the best parenting forums on Mommy & Baby issues I've come across is Baby Gaga



Seek mommy advice, share your experience, and help out other preggy moms-to-be. Read about issues on developmental milestones, infant care, toddler behavior and even weight loss tactics by global moms.

Babygaga threads are well-organized and personally, I like the wonderful, scrapbook-like layout.


The title just spells it out B-A-B-Y-G-A-G-A, now who doesn't really go crazy over kids!?

The Devil in the Details: President Arroyo's Coffin on Manila Bulletin

In today's dailies, it seems they got their femme presidents mixed up! I guess tomorrow's headlines would be "Noli De Castro Sworn In as President" or "Manila Bulletin Proofreader found Dead".

Though much of the respect and tears go out for our beloved Tita Cory, young boys of this generation have found new Kuyas (Elder brothers) to look up to during this national televised event. Much of the attention has been given to the honor guards who stood firm and in seemingly in a trance for 8 hours throughout the funeral, much of it under pouring rain.

To the Honor guards of sheer stamina- Pfc. Antonio Cadiente, Airman 2nd Class Gener Laguindam, Petty Officer 3 Edgardo Rodriguez and Police Officer 1 Danilo Maalab. You do your country proud and Tita Cory too (God bless her soul)

And a Giant Pink Bunny fell unto Earth

Looks like Easter came crashing early for the Italians!

A Google Satellite image


Geitlin, the Vienna group responsible for the bunny created the 200 feet monstrosity of cuteness on the mountain Colletto Fava. The magnificent wool installation is called "Hase" which translates as "Hare" is to remain on its spot till 2025. Enough time for us to invade Europe and take a peek at it.


Geitlin further explains their reason for the rabbit as "the things one finds wandering in a landscape, familiar things and utterly unknown." Like in Gulliver's Travels, we Lilliputians are expected to climb, explore and party on the pink bunny.


Ironically, the pink bunny has its entrails out in the open, perhaps it really did have a bad fall.

Hands down, this is the most engaging art installation I've ever heard of- besides the upside down house in Germany, of course!



But this giant pink bunny, based on my son's very excited reaction is definitely tops! He thinks its made from marshmallows from outer space.

A Colombian Armada in Manila Bay

On the Philippine Daily Inquirer today, a very grand and regal ship called the Armada de Republica de Colombia Gloria, Colombia’s only naval training ship now docked at the South Harbor of Port Area, Manila.

See those amazing cadets sitting on the spars of its mast?

Wow! I would love to take my son out at the bay today just to see this beauty.

Corazon Cojuangco Aquino Died Today

Oh and Tita Cory died btw.

Tita Cory rockin' in red better than Imelda Marcos. Bless you dear lady and may you rest in Peace!

Sadly, I'm sure by this time everyone knows she passed away this morning. She bravely battled colon cancer and according to Noynoy Aquino she was too weak to continue her chemo.



As the whole country mourns of Tita Cory's passing, the current femme president Gloria Arroyo is getting her elbow tapped by President Barack Obama. Kilig naman ang bruja!

Small Toy Accident: A Mom's Nightmare

Accidents do happen, as if we're not neurotic and overprotective enough of our kids, when these things suddenly occur, most parents go through a quick rush of guilt, fear and sheer terror.

My sister Jenny was making breakfast when her daughter Sasha told her she just jammed a toy ball pen up her nose. To her horror, a plastic toy bead was left inside lodged up her left nostril. Fortunately, my younger sis Cookie who is a nurse calmed the child down and took them to the ER. There was no way to get to the bead without some really long metal tongs to take it out.




After much crying and nosebleeds at the ER, Sasha emerged fine.
I guess we just have to be extra vigilant about toys with small parts, keeping our homes child safe through many ways. My sis Jenny is just thankful that it wasn't much worse and that her daughter wasn't afraid to tell her what happened.

Oh my! House Pets for the Birthday Boy!

Happy Birthday Cowcow! I love you so much! Mahal ka ng Inay mo sobra!


My son just turned 5! I never thought he would be this big and bibo, imagine that? and now he wants Pets in our a very small apartment! not One! But a menagerie, he wants a puppy, cat, whale, turtle and fish!

I told him,
"I'll buy you Tilapia for a pet, you play with it all day then when you're hungry I'll cook it for dinner!"

He started laughing, he told me, "You're so silly mommy, Tilapia is not a Pet fish, its a Food fish."

Hahaha!
