MQW8 - Things You Love the Most

{START COPY}

The Rules:

The aim of these questions is to share opinions and experiences among moms (or dads) in the blogosphere.

Each week a new question will be posted and I’m inviting mom and dads to answer and share their thoughts about it.

If you are participating, leave your links in the comments section.
Link back momma stuff inviting other parents to join the fun.
Try to visit the other participants…you will love their answers, that’s for sure.

This week’s question is : What are the things you love the most about your kids?

{END COPY}

First I love her sweetness. She'll just kiss me and say I love you and hug me even out of the blue. She's also polite. She always ends her answers to me with "opo". She shares her food with others even to her yaya. She's thoughtful. She remembers to pray for her cousins and aunts and uncles and grandparents. She looks for me or her nanny when she don't see anyone of us.

She always says sorry and embraces me when she knows that I'm angry or when she knows that she've hurt me physically or emotionally.

She's my little helper. She helps me in her own little way. I can always tell her to clean her clutter or throw something to the garbage. She responds to my simple instructions.

And lastly, I love everything about her because she's our bundle of joy. She's God's gift and a testimony of God's goodness and faithfulness to us. We have gone through a difficult situation when she's still 3months old, but God revealed His provision and faithfullness.



TGIF

Busy busy busy....

But I'm thankful that it's Friday again...that means, weekend is coming. I'm just glad that finally, I'll have a break. It's been over a month now that I'm always in our church center for practice every Thursday and Friday and during our Wednesday-Midweek, then sing every Sunday. I know this is for the Lord but at times, I feel dog-tired...worn out...coming to practice after office hours then going home late. Whew! Thankful that finaly, this week I'm not singing.

Tomorrow, I'll have a two hour driving lesson {excited! :)}

Maybe go to the mall after that...and cuddle my little lady while watching PDA :)

Sunday, I'll spent some of my time with my blogs and hopefully get some opps.

I hope next week will be great as this week has been stressful :D

What’s your kids fear food factor?



Nowadays my daughter turns to be a picky eater. She doesn't eat a lot and it worries me. But when in the mood, she loves eating chicken, broccoli, sayote and fried fish. What excites her is whenever I come and she'll get something inside my bag. I always brings her "pasalubong" kasi. On this picture, she was excited as she opened the hamburger I brought home for her. Takaw-tingin lang naman, she never finished eating that.

What's in a "Bangs"?

When I was young I used to wear full bangs. My father was our "hair stylist" and he used to cut our hair short. He termed it as an "apple cut". I always had a bangs... as if we had no choice but to wear our hair like that. When I got older that's when I started deciding for my own hairstyle. I got rid of bangs. But now, it's back and seems to be a fabulous fad.

I saw Reese's (Witherspoon) latest Avon commercial and I just love her hair.

But where and what is really the origin of "Bangs"?

Well, I got an answer here:

According to etymology scholar Robert Barnhart, the term is strictly American in origin. In Britain they call it "fringe".

"The origin of bangs (the word is occasionally found in the singular bang), referring to a fringe of hair falling over the forehead (especially if cut square), is uncertain.

A common explanation, and the most likely one, is that bang(s) is short for bangtail. A bangtail is a horse's tail trimmed horizontally, so that the tail has a flat, even end, and hence a horse having such a tail. (By the early twentieth century, bangtail was used generically for 'a racehorse'.)

This leaves the question of the origin of bangtail. The word bang 'to strike violently' or 'a sudden striking blow or sound' has an adverbial sense 'suddenly; abruptly; completely; directly', as in "he walked bang up to me," "a slam-bang effort," or, closer for our purposes, "to cut (something) bang off." Our bangs is probably from this adverbial use, one way or another: either it comes directly from this adverb, or bangtail itself is from this adverb and bang(s) is short for bangtail.

The adverbial bang is recorded in the late eighteenth or early nineteenth century, depending on how you interpret the evidence. Bangtailed '(of a horse) having a bangtail' is found in the early 1860s, and bang 'fringe of hair' is first found in the late 1870s in America."

As of this moment, I had just a portion of my hair for my bangs. I'm still hesitant to had it cut in full. I hope I can get enough courage though...like that of Reese or Anne Curtis (in Dyosa) I wonder How will I look.

To answer Nice's question of the week...

Jaden eat almost everything I served. I'm just having a hard time kasi now she's not eating a lot. But if she's in the mood here are the food she loves.

1. Pancit. I just break the noodles into pieces so she can eat without choking her self. She also calls it pancit even if it's sopas :D

2. Tinola. Specially the "gulay" from it. She loves the soup, chicken and sayote.

3. Chicken with Pineapple (Pininyahang Manok). she loves the sabaw cause it's sweet.

3. Fried Chicken. She just love it. I think every kids do.

4. Fish. Wag lang those na malansa. Cause she tends to throw up.

5. Egg. She prefers it either boiled or scrambled.

6. For snacks she loves stuffed cakes (Inipit or Lemon square cakes), Chuckie (choco drink), Yakult, and Pretzels dipped in cream cheese spread.

So basically, she loves soup and sweet dishes.She prefers chicken and fish over pork or beef mas tender kasi ang meat. Not like other kids, she doesn't like hotdogs that much.

Brother 4-in-1

I'm planning to buy a printer for my pc. But what I have in mind is a three-in-one type (scanner, copier, printer all in one!)

And then I saw this yesterday sold at 0% interest payable n 6 months....


It's a Brother 4-in-1 inkjet printer sold at only Php 3,950.00! That is about $90. I never thought I could find a 4-in-1 type at an affordable price. I am not just sure of the quality of prints but I hope this one is a good buy. I'm thinking of getting one.
