Clary Diary

Sm Muntinlupa is the nearest mall from our place. We are living in San Pedro, Laguna and it’s just a few minutes away from Tunasan, Muntinlupa City where the Sm Muntinlupa is located. I used to go there with my kids to do the grocery shopping because they love to spend the whole afternoon playing arcade games at Tom’s World. It’s a bit hard to carry the things that I bought in paper bags with no handles at all but then again, I got used to it and managed to bring my own reusable eco-friendly bag every time I’ll do the grocery. I love the idea because we really have to do something to take care and preserve our Mother Nature for the benefit of the next generations. I just hope that may the entire city in the Philippines as well as the whole world will do the same.

Kids are naturally playful at all times especially our toddlers. Most of them see things as toys. Even in mealtime, there are a lot of destructions that’s why many of them end up leaving the table running back to their toys. We should not let them practice such things everyday because it will be hard for us to change every bad habit that they get used to when they got older. There is no particular age of a child that a mother should start teaching them self discipline. Even babies can develop a bad habit if we let them do that. It is just a matter of dealing with our own child and knowing how to raise them in the most proper way possible.

As a mom, we want to make sure that everything our kids need is always at hand.  Whether at home or if we are somewhere else, we want to make it a point that whatever it is that they might need is always there especially when we’re travelling. Me and my youngest son Joaqui is travelling from Laguna to Manila every Thursday morning. My son is a special child, which has a condition of Global Developmental Delay Syndrome.

My eldest son, Ken, is already 7 years old when I got pregnant again with JOAQUI. It was a high risk and difficult pregnancy for me. I experience bleeding on my first trimester up to the eight month before I gave birth. I was always in the hospital due to occasional cramps that I am going through.  My OB-Gynecologist advised me to have a bed rest for a couple of months or until my condition gets really well. My loving husband took care of me while he’s at home before going to work, as well as my mom but she doesn’t live in our house, she just visits me from time to time and relatives who live nearby. They made sure that everything I need is not just a step away, but exactly beside my bed. But of course, I can’t avoid the situation that I had to get up because I have a 7-year old son who’s going to school every morning. Of course I am a mom and I can’t just be lying in bed while my son needs me to button down his school uniform and prepare his cereal in the morning. It’s not a he...

When I was just a little girl, I'm fond of collecting stationeries. Different colors, styles and preferably scented. I’m saving up my allowance so that I can buy another set when I get back to school next morning. I also love making my own slam book out of recycled notebooks from the last school year. I’m the one who is responsible for the designs, styles and even my personalized questions are there. I just don’t like the typical slam books that can be bought in bookstores because I don’t like the common questions and the generic format of them.

     If I’m not mistaken, this is my 4 th blog site already. Every blog I made has just one or two posts only because I’m running out of ideas or maybe I’m just being lazy.  There are times that I feel like I really like to write something. But most of the time, I ended up on facebook playing City Ville. I admit, I was once hooked-up with that fb application up to the point that I’m sleeping at 4 o’clock in the morning and wake up at 9am catching myself playing again.  Thank God I began to realize that I’m not getting anything from that aside from just a complete waste of time. Then, here I am again. Found myself making another blog site, and hopefully maintain and earn from this one. (wink! ) -_^
