Eto na lang sana ang rule,  pag may issue ng rape,  pag hindi ikaw ang nangrape, at hindi ikaw ang narape huwag ka nang magcomment kung hindi ka naman wiwitness sa korte. #kainisnajoke

Di ba nagpromise ka na maging gender sensitive sa rape? You have no right to go near that issue, more so joke around about it #cheaplaughs #dontgothere #dapatsiguronagsuesijessica

Basta ako sa babae ako sa usapin ng rape,  syensya na sa mga bros na falsely accused, konti lang naman kayo e.  #statisticshows   #nainislangsahindinakakatawangpaulitulitnajoke

Sorry na talaga sa falsely accused basta sa korte na lang ang comments, huwag na sa social media #parawalangargabyado #paraisangbesesnalangathindinapaulitulitangrapesapagkatao

Pag ang lalaki falsely accused ng rape, kulong lang ang worst scenario,  ang babae pagnarape arawaraw na humahalik sa kaniya ang bangungot tapos sisintensiyahan mo pa siya bilang haliparot #lakasngtawamohindimonarinigangpipingiyakngbabaengnarapenakatabimolangtumahimikdahilbakaisisimosasuotnilangpalda

Lakas ng tawa mo hindi mo narinig ang piping iyak ng babaeng na rape na baka katabi mo lang at tumahimik dahil baka isisi mo sa suot nilang palda ang sinapit #huwagnalangkumampi #huwagnalangpaalala #dibamaysintensiyanaperiodna #nakakapantingnapaanopakayasamaypinagdadaanan

Sa totoo natatakot akong ipost dahil ayaw kong macyberbully nila #maliitnaissueangtakotkovspinagdadaanansarape #girlhugs

Ako nga nahipuan lang naiiyak pa rin ako pag naalala ko.  #nakaminivsmaniac #aysorryitsnotaboutme #paanopakayasila

the gas blog

Baby tummy was too hard, she cries on regular intervals. Poor BBB, i can hear her discomfort from her mouth and butt. Burps and farts. In times like these, we need a juicy :)

1. Induce burps every 5 minutes, even if its in between feedings.
2. Head should be higher than tummy to avoid reflux.
3. Massage the tummy.. I do this while humming a tune for timing. Gently massage from ribcage to tummy to diaper using alternate hands. Then move the knees to touch the tummy/ chest with the same tune. Massage again the tummy in a circular clockwise motion. And another session of knees to tummy/ chest.
4. let her rest on her left slide.. remember our pregnant days, this is the best position even for baby. It assist gravit to keep the liquids down.
5. Supervised tummy time, i have a 1 month old child who still does not have much neck control. She sometimes get too comfortable with her tummy pressed while her mouth and butt that airflow becomes easier.
Just a caveat, stomach sleeping can increase the possibility of SIDS on infants, the Amercan AAP recommends back sleeping.
6. And the manzanilla, tried it once, scared actually of possible skin irritation for baby so I used it super thinly on her tummy and applied more of it on the back of my elbow so if the chamomile properties really calm, she'll get aromatherapy.

she's 1 month today

I have read her first book HOP ON POP*

"since you are 1 month old today
i will read 1 book per day
is it ok?"

*I've read yesterday from a homeschool blog that a mom read to her baby daily since week 2 and regretted not to have started from day 1 since her baby was on NICU. I didn't have much access on 0 year baby books but I have my collection of Dr. Seuss.

Hooray! BBB and I would enjoy Theo together. :)

google parenting

My hubby and I are both youngest in the family, never had a chance to experience newborns in the house so we are totally clueless with a lot of baby facts. I have been looking for the "what to expect" book version of the first year since this book has been my companion during my expectant months. My hubby got me another first year book but it still is not the same. I haven't seen one yet so the net has been my primary resource.

earlier i was doing a bit of refreshing my baby, dabbed a moist washcloth over his head and got some 5 hair strands.. hair fall?? wahhh

two days ago, baby had a bout of gas, was thinking can i allow her to stomach sleep? manzanilla, what are the myths and facts?

my baby had major muta manisfestation on one eye. what to do?

now, i am so interested in 0-6mos home school curriculum..

I am offered some confident parenting solutions through forums and articles.. or else I'll be txting, calling, chatting my mom and siblings about their opinion. yey technology.

post - whine

after all the pinching, and the self convincing, and while i stare at my baby..
i am all good.

:)

rooming in

I have met her already day 1, when I was in twilight after delivery was the first time and I missed it, good thing the hospital allows baby viewing for mothers anytime in the guise of breastfeeding.. I let myself wheeled(chair) in 2 times. The next day they roomed us together. Meet my room mate.

being uber busy the past few weeks disn't allow me to step back, relax, calm down and silently bond with bbb..

morse code conversation.. i love you baby.

starting the 60 days

on my 39th week and this is the first time i'll blog about my pregnancy. yes! we are pregnant. i have officially declared my pregnancy leave and awaiting the coming of bbb, my first. scared and excited.

yesterday, as a last day of my being a working pregnant mom i had one eventful day.. rainy and stressful travel to work, a major presentation to our malaysian principals and a long day that extended to dinner.

at the end of it all i had a good talk with my bosses. its a good feeling for a working lady to be assured that 60 days of absence will not affect "job performance" it's a basic benefit to any employee but surely it's additional stress on a woman in workforce to double time efforts prior to the leave and overextend when she comes back to compensate the absence. cherry to the cake, i got my baby a gift :)
