I admit, when it comes to my daughter’s stuff, I don’t think twice. I am definitely an impulsive buyer. And realization comes last as always. When the time comes that it doesn’t fit her anymore, I start regretting for buying such expensive and not so needed things.

Just a month ago, I saw this Barbie backpack @ Php750. Liked the colors so much. When I asked my lil girl, she said she wanted it as well. We ended up buying it without even bargaining and looking at some other shops who might be selling it cheaper.

Yesterday, I went to my fave Hello Kitty shop and suddenly remembered that I ordered something for my lil one, a Hello Kitty backpack which is much cheaper than the Barbie one. Got it for Php500. I know there’s no reason to whine, coz anyway she’d be using it in the next two months regularly. But don’t you think a person like me needs a little help? LOL! Mentally not of course! I meant budget planning or say some help from parents in finding the right product for their children.

My daughter does not go to school yet but soon she will be. I have already made inquiries and set my mind to where she’d go to.  With this, I have also gathered info like How to cope with preschool illnesses. I know the feeling when someone falls sick especially if it’s your child that is involved.

I remember one incident when my daughter went through bad skin rashes. We really thought it was because of some food allergies. But we did all what we could do only to find out that it wasn’t. The doctor said that there are instances that when someone is sick, instead of getting the same illness, the skin reacts so badly. Too bad that it happened to my daughter. I’m afraid it’ll happen to her again when she goes to school.

That’s why at this early, I’m already taking the precautions and I hope it works. I’m a first time mom and hardly know what to do. So I guess reading and gathering info like these would help a lot. If I could only wrap her up in a cotton wool, or put her in a safety container so she won’t get sick, I would. But there’s no other way to get rid of these illnesses other than taking early precautions.

These days, my daughter wants everything that she sees on TV ads. And right now, she’s very much engrossed watching the new TV ad of Selecta family pack endorsed by Carmina and family, where a part where the little girl said at the end of the ad “Sarap ng weekend!”

The other day, while I was checking my mails, my daughter came running to me and said:

Deye : Mama, I want weekend!

Me : Huh??? What’s that?

Deye : In the TV, she said… she said…. “Sayap ng weekend”, I want weekend Mama, masayap!

Me : LOL! She thought weekend is something edible kasi masarap hahaha!

My eyeglasses. Yup, I’ve been continuously wearing eyeglasses since high school. Oh no wait! I didn’t… there was a pause in between when I worn contacts for like 3 years. I didn’t like it. Well, it’s nice coz people won’t make out that you no longer have a normal vision, but the convenience, it’s just not for me. I don’t have the patience in maintaining even a pair at all. Plus the fact that you have to spend money for boiling and buying the solution. Unlike when you wear an eyeglass, all you have to do is wipe it whenever the lens get blurry. I might grab one though so I can sport my RL shades once in a while. The problem with wearing eyeglasses, if I wear sunglasses, can’t see anything clear hehe!

The one I currently have is just turning a year old this coming September but I am thinking of getting a new pair. I used to wear the same style, the rimless ones. So for a change I chose a little different last year, it’s half rimless LOL!

I noticed that Postal ID is now being honored in almost all the important transactions here so I went this morning to apply for one. I actually went to inquire and applied for the same around 3 months ago but my photos were rejected coz I was wearing my eyeglasses. Yesterday, I got the chance to take a new one minus the eyeglasses and made enough copies in different sizes for future use. When I reached the Post Office counter, no one seemed to notice that there’s a customer waiting for their assistance until I said “Excuse me, I would like to apply for a Postal ID”, to think they were just plainly chatting about w-h-a-t-e-v-e-r! Then only she paid attention and handed me the form.
