Trumpette Baby Collection

These are some of the items in my wish list, Trumpette Socks but it is available only in the US, Paris, London etc. and not available here in the Philippines. I've been looking for it in Rustan's, Podium and other baby shops but can't find it anywhere.
Do you know anyone coming home from the States? Haay.

They look like shoes but actually they are socks, I've seen this in one of the mommy blog and she has a converse-looking socks and I'm obsessed by it since then.

I wonder if I can have them before I give birth.

If He Really Knew Me and Think of Me by David Archuleta

I just watched American Idol's theme of Broadway and so I thought of one of my favorite songs from Broadway and this is the first song that comes to my mind.
Other favorites are Phantom of the Opera, Evita, the song "Tell me On a Sunday", and some popular songs of Andrew Lloyd Webber. I love the guy, I'm so happy he is still alive!

If He Really Knew Me
SONIA
If he really knew me
If he really truly knew me
Maybe he would see the other side of me I seldom see

If there were no music
If the melodies stopped playing
Would he be the kind of man
I’d want to see tonight

Does the man make the music
Or does the music make this man
And is he everything I thought he’d be

If he really knew me
If he’d take the time to understand
Maybe he could find me
The part I left behind me
Maybe he’d remind me
Of who I am

VERNON
If there were no music
If my melodies stopped plain’
Would I be the kind of man she’d want to se tonight
What the hell
It’s just a dinner
If this doesn’t work, that’s it
And can I really be so hungry for a hit

If she really knew me
If she’d take the time to understand
Maybe she could find me
The part I left behind me
Maybe she’d remind me
Of who I am




Speaking of American Idol here is David's rendition of Think of Me from musical "The Phantom of the Opera." I like the way he tries to sing it differently to match his style, voice and pitch. Think of Me has a high pitch and voice and he was able to give a fresh sound to the song.

Kimono Ken, Kaya and Jugo Juice

Kaya Restuaurant at Megamall

They have a value meal of P111.00 with soup and 6 oz iced tea. Their value meal is the rice toppings. We ordered Spicy Pork with rice, a dash of Kimchi, egg and dried shrimp. Their rice is ok but it is nothing compared to the taste of Kimono Ken's rice toppings.
We also ordered their special noodles Jap Chim that costs 136.00 they also have that at Chosun in Shangrila Mall but though I didn't tasted the one at Shangrila, I think it tastes better at Shangrila. The noodle is cooked right and it is a little sweet. I like it though, might as well try the one in Shangrila.




Jugo Juice at The Podium

We tried the Jugo Juice at the Podium, the place looks cozy that's why we went inside. It is located at the ground floor beside Cheesecake etc. I have to take a seat because I am tired of walking we've seen a very nice chair inside so we went in.
Jugo Juice is similar to the concept of Fusion located at the 5F of Podium but the juices or smoothies at Fusion tastes better because I think their smoothies has a lot of ice and less fruit. In Fusion, they froze their fruits so they need less ice and it is more flavorful. The price is almost the same. Irwin ordered the Watermelon Wiggle with watermelon, strawberry and cranberry? I ordered the fresh juice, Mega Veg that has cucumber, celery, carrots etc. Blech! Do not order this, I ordered it because I know it is good for the health, it detoxifies. But I will never order it again.






Kimono Ken at Food Court Shangrila

Wow! This is going to be one of my favorite Japanese restaurant, I like their rice toppings and Kani Salad. We tried the Kani Salad at Teriyaki Boy but this one tastes better. Mom and Tina also has a Kani Salad but the cucumber is not grated!

Their rice toppings tastes like heaven, I was able to eat it in 15 minutes, the rice that they used is excellent and the sauce is different. The difference lies in the sauce. I ordered pork and Irwin ordered chicken and I was able to distinguish the taste of the sauces. Yummy!

Atopic Dermatitis

This is my nephew Arren Mikel, we call him Miko and he is only 7 weeks old. At a very young age his asthma appears in the form of Atopic Dermatitis. Asthma run's in my husband's family so I will not be surprised if my daughter will have asthma too.

Miko's asthma started as a form of rashes on his face and eventually into his scalp.
When they brought him to a pediatrician, the doctor automatically asked if anyone in the family has asthma. The doctor said it is atopic dermatitis and this is hereditary.

The pediatrician asked my sis-in-law to change the baby wash that she is using and used cetaphil instead. If the rashes persist, they will have to change the milk again.

So what is this Atopic Dermatitis? According to medicinenet.com

Atopic dermatitis is a chronic (long-lasting) disease that affects the skin. The word "dermatitis" means inflammation of the skin. "Atopic" refers to diseases that are hereditary, tend to run in families, and often occur together. These diseases include asthma, hay fever, and atopic dermatitis.

In atopic dermatitis, the skin becomes extremely itchy and inflamed, causing redness, swelling, cracking, weeping, crusting, and scaling.

Atopic dermatitis most often affects infants and young children, but it can continue into adulthood or first show up later in life. In most cases, there are periods of time when the disease is worse, called exacerbations or flares, which are followed by periods when the skin improves or clears up entirely, called remissions. Many children with atopic dermatitis enter into a permanent remission of the disease when they get older, although their skin often remains dry and easily irritated.

Environmental factors can activate symptoms of atopic dermatitis at any time in the lives of individuals who have inherited the atopic disease trait.

Baby Shower Invites

We are going to have a Baby Shower in Two weeks! Check out my online invites.
Got the design from www.fineststationery.com
and after using the Adobe Photoshop I was able to change the pictures of the parent into our own pictures.

We haven't buy anything yet for the baby except for the Avent bottles, the baby rompers and the pampers diaper for newborn. After the shower we will purchase additional things for the baby.

I hope we will have an advance gifts from everybody. Hehehehe! Para konti na lang ang bibilhin.

How do Kids Learn That?

This is my nephew Ralf Benedick, the first son of my eldest brother. He is already 15 months old. He is 11 months old in this picture when we went to Palawan.
Now my brother was telling me that RB is very naughty.

How?

He would imitate his uncle, Ate Luz's brother, snore loudly.
Then he would laugh.

Then he would do it again.
And laugh..

I haven't seen him do it but it would have been hilarious.
Now I wonder, where did he learn that?

I know mommies out there has a lot to tell about their kids
that surprises them.

I can't wait for my own story.
