Even if you’re feeling safe wearing your Schuberth S2 helmets , you can’t really have a child ride with you who is below 10 years old. Admittedly I still see them unfortunately. Maybe for lack of time or the option of other modes of transportation but well you could actually get imprisoned for this according to the law. Now if you have an 11 year old with you, they would have to wear a helmet too.  Let’s just be safe and keep the little ones safer.

Went to Daddy’s Office and the little cupcake had the time of her life.  She got to enjoy some nail art, Make up and hairstyle pampering, glitter tattoo, face painting and cupcake decorating.

I was watching TV this morning and saw this viral photo of the Ridiculously good looking surgery baby. I would put this photo if I could on a multiple monitor stand and just marvel at life’s miracle. This photo at dailymail.co.uk is among other cute photos of Joey Powling Jr. 3 months young who underwent a heart surgery. His dad on the interview said he was worried post operation but he saw his little boy smiling like nothing went on. With that gorgeous smile, that 4 inch scar seemed somewhat life’s wonderful art.

 Before I head out to the salon and get the stylist busy with his shear holster , I just want to say I love Ascof Lagundi. My daughter’s classmate’s mom says it works well for her son. Post Pneumonia, still troubled with coughing it did help my little one to recover. She’s not totally without cough but she’s active and eats well and that’s just two days of taking it. It sometimes takes a week of antibiotics or cough syrup before I actually notice any improvement and now I found the solution. If I had known about Ascof Lagundi before I would have given it to her sooner. I heard about it and all that but never truly recommended to have worked wonders by someone I know.

Ascof’s 100% natural Lagundi leaves are nurtured organically in a quality-certified farm untainted by synthetic chemical fertilizers and pesticides.

Extensive Research
More than two decades of research and analysis by top institutions (NIRPROMP, UP-PGH) and top scientists (Dra. Nelia Maramba).

Clinical Studies
It has been clinically-proven to be an effective and safe anti-cough medication in pediatric and adult patients based on the numerous Randomized Double Blind Controlled Clinical Trials conducted at the PGH, UST and other major institutions.

ASCOF provides a 3-Way action in relieving cough:
1.) Relaxes air passageway (brochodilating activity)
2.) Melts phlegm (mucolytic activity)
3.) Relieves cough and asthma
 (cough relief/ anti-histaminic activity) – ascof.com.ph

 

When I bid my singlehood farewell, I wish I knew that being a mom was going to be a cross between sheer happiness and never ending worry. I also wish I had rechargable batteries so when I got tired I just remove the batteries like the Stepford wife that I am, recharge and go again.

The physical exhaustion is nothing compared to the emotional distress you could get when your baby gets sick. I had to deal with Pneumonia when she was 2 months old.

Pneumonia is an inflammatory condition of the lung—especially affecting the microscopic air sacs (alveoli)—associated with fever, chest symptoms, and a lack of air space  on a chest X-ray.Pneumonia is typically caused by an infection but there are a number of other causes like Infectious agents include: bacteria, viruses, fungi, and parasites.

 I heard my baby coughing and later on she was too hot to touch so we rushed her to the hospital. Xrays taken , pneumonia declared and she had to be admitted. I had to watch her crying while the nurse tried to find the tiniest vein so they could get those meds in. It was a nightmare. It took 7 days of antibiotics, cranky crazy baby howling nights. I thank God I had a spectacular though not very bright nanny then but she did care for my baby, bless her soul and a hubby who although somewhat fresh from being a bachelor was lost in space but managed to get his act together in the end.

 Pneumonia is the leading cause of death in children worldwide.
Pneumonia kills an estimated 1.4 million children under the age of five years every year – more than AIDS, malaria and tuberculosis combined – WHO

So vaccines and vaccines later ( I was hoping those very expensive vaccines would last longer but noooo) , I was faced with the same nightmare. Now she’s still my baby but older, much older. A long time without much hitches healthwise, she went to school and bham! A couple of months after I had to deal with looking and hearing at my kid with incessant coughing again, fever that reached 41 degrees, chills that sent my heart beating outside of my chest.Nine days of being cooped up in the hospital I thank GOD she did not overdose on Sanpime , Dextrose and motherly worry. I thank everyone who prayed, who visited, who sent a message of concern. Times were tough. I wish I never had to go through that again. I hope and pray she will never go through those again.

She still has some difficulty breathing but eating more nutritiously, more active but somehow prone to viral infections. Pineapple is recommended by my doctor. A friend vouch for Malunggay. New sets of vaccine to be administered the coming months. Dose of sunshine required as Pneumonia can return.

Keeping our fingers crossed. Whispers of fervent prayer.

When founder Toru Kumon developed the Kumon worksheets, all he had in mind was the improvement of his son Takeshi.

But as soon as he saw his son developing advanced academic skills enabling him to tackle even calculus with ease even though he was just in Grade 6, Mr. Toru Kumon realized how effective the worksheets were. And he thought “It would be a sheer waste if only Takeshi benefitted from this.”

Thus, he launched the kindness movement—a movement that aimed to spread Kumon all over the world; a movement that has brought Kumon to your area now.

As Kumon Philippines launches its 2-Week Free Trial Campaign, now would be the perfect time to  join Mr. Toru Kumon’s kindness movement. From September 17 to 29, Free Trial participants will go through the same learning routine as regular Kumon students.

In those two weeks they will:
• Attend four class days
• Get Kumon worksheets daily
• Receive a study assessment from the Instructor
• Have an individualized study plan

Come and join Kumon Philippines’ 2-Week Free Trial Campaign! Registration is ongoing! Slots may vary per Center. Call or visit the Kumon Center near you. You may also call the Kumon Head Office at (02) 885 0226 or 1-800-1-888-0231 (toll-free outside Metro Manila) and the Cebu Branch Office at (032) 236-1307 for inquiries about the Free Trial Campaign.
