This is Efren, the most beautiful queen in the world. Everytime I go to see a beautician, I always ask him to do the job for me. Way back in 1989, Chana, the fairy godmother, would always cut my hair. Then one day he cut my hair really short, and I was very disappointed. He told me he didn’t hear me good, when I told him how I wanted my hair to be styled; so I got disappointed, and I never asked for his services again. He-he…chika…. Maria and Bianca had their first haircut in a beauty parlor, while we were in the Philippines. I didn’t think to consider their first professional haircut ...

This is a past due update of my daughter’s birthday. Lately, I was very active on Facebook, but without thinking I have left behind my blog. It is convenient for me to update and post pictures there, because most of my families are in my circle. The only thing that I keep coming back blogging about is my children. Without them, I don’t have a reason to brag and blog about them. Somehow, some day, my children will appreciate it when they read their milestones. Maria had turned 6th years old last May. We are far from our families, but we celebrated her birthday with just my husband, Bianca ...

Dentophobia or fear of the dentist is very common among children. Even I am still scared about going to the dentist, because when I was young I had a horrible experience. During a time I had a procedure for teeth extraction, and it was unbearable for me too. Growing up we sometimes waited until the teeth became loose. Well, it was a good thing that we had a dentist in my family; he was none other than my father. No he was not a professional dentist, but he would extract our teeth when it needed to be done. He had extracted some of my teeth with the use of thread. Whew! That was very painful, a...

My husband and I had a busy day today. He is off from work, so he helped me with my errands. Today is my daughter’s 4th birthday. First thing in the morning, we dropped off Maria and Bianca at their schools. Then we went to pick up the cake, and we bought a present for Bianca. She had a simple birthday celebration at her school. I brought a sort-of-cake made of cup cakes and juices only for her classmates. Bianca’s birthday cake theme was the Yo Gabba Gabba. She is a huge fan of this hilarious television show. She watches it all, over and over, on netflix. She was with me when I ordered he...

It’s another milestone for my 6 year old daughter Maria. Today, her first permanent tooth came out. It all did happened so fast! As I remember, I checked her teeth about two weeks ago, but there was no new tooth. Today, it’s already there, at her lower incisors, behind her temporary teeth. I didn’t expect her tooth would come out like that, especially since her teeth are not loose yet. So that means it could happen without waiting for loose teeth. My husband arranged for a dental appointment for her tomorrow. So let us see how it goes. Maria told me this morning that she is going to di...
