Sports Wear for my Baby Girl

Hubby is a sports fanatic, and he basically loves basketball and would always watch every game that is televised on the cable. Since its the month of April he's almost always glued to the TV for the NBA playoff. He also likes wearing some of his favorite teams jersey and even teams that are not his favorite. Sometime hubby and Keona would tussle for the remote control because Keona wants to watch Nickelodeon. In the end though Keona always win in this battle hahaha.

But now he has another sports that is beginning to catch his interest, and that is American football, I think he just got interested in this sport because he likes watching the anime series Eyeshield 21, and to top all of this, he found a shop online for baby that offers sports clothing. Just for the fun of it, he wants to buy Keona one and said she will be a Steelers Baby and bursts out in laughter. He may not be a steelers fan though, but he just like the color combination of the clothing. I think Keona would also like it, she also likes to wear different design of clothes, as long as shes comfortable with it, its fine with me.

I believe Keona would love to wear Steelers baby apparel because they are really nice apparels and their colors are brilliant. Colors like red, orange, and yellow would especially look good on her with her fair complexion.  My little girl is a big fan of fashion and she would surely love what hubby is planning to buy for her.

My Summer 2011 Retreat

As I have mentioned in my earlier post, I went to a spiritual retreat a week before the Holy Week.  It was a very fruitful retreat and I especially like the place because it is very serene and away from the crowd of city life.  It was indeed a retreat in every sense of the word.

The retreat was held in the Transfiguration Monastery of the Benedictine Monks who owned a 100-hectare farm land planted with rice, corn, peanuts and coffee.  They also owned several animals like cows goats roaming around in the sprawling 100-hectare land.  So we were really in commune with nature, so to speak.

I also love the food.  They prepared great yummy foods with really nice variations and the taste was perfect. I especially like their pork adobo and chicken tocino. 

The big transfiguration monastery church is gorgeously situated in an elevated area where you see the vast mountains and plains. The design is like a pyramid and flowers around are nicely arranged complimenting the beautiful church.

Sharing to you some photos:

Back from a 4-Day Retreat

I'm now back from my 4-day retreat in the beautiful and idyllic mountains of Bukidnon where the Monastery of Benidictine Monks hosted us.  We were facilitated by a very articulate and excellent retreat master, Fr. Elias Serra, a Benedictine Monk.

The 5-hour bus ride going to my place, Davao, really makes me tired.  So I have to relax and rejuvenate. I'll be sharing photos later.  Have a great start of the week friends. 

A Personalized Gift for Troy

My brother in law Troy will be celebrating his birthday in April 14 but the problem is, I can't attend his birthday since my company retreat is also at April 14. So I'm planning to buy him a gift and give it to him once my retreat is finished. I have tried searching at malls for a unique gift but can't find one. So the next best thing to do is go online, and boy I found a great site that I like, the site is Amsterdam Printing. They have some great items to choose from and the price is not that high. One item that I like is the personalized pencils, I think this would be a great gift for Troy since his a bank teller and this nice looking pencil is just a handy dandy for a teller.

By the way, I'm trying to learn about real estate marketing since I'm planning to put up a site on this niche.  It's a big challenge for me since it's really way out of my comfort zone.  Wish me luck on this endeavor friends:)

Holiday and a Bonding with Angels

Tomorrow is a national holiday in celebration for the "Araw ng Kagitingan".  As planned, we'll be going to one of our working student's house and we'll bond together there. We'll just cook our foods then we'll have fun chit-chatting and singing.

Hubby on the other hand will have his tooth extracted so he'll go to his dentist.  He will just wait for me in downtown area and we'll go back home together.  It's a nice weekend.  Have a great day friends:).

Feeling Sleepy

I believe I have not yet fully recovered my lack of sleep for three consecutive nights because there was no water.  I'm used to taking bath before going to bed so I have to wait until water gets back because we have no stored water in the pail or whatever container we have since we have not prepared with that water interruption..

I am able to sleep only during midnight or even past midnight. Today, I still feel very sleepy and I lack the energy to work on my tasks that's supposed to be done.  I need my vitality back:).  Anyways, have a great day friends:).

A Visit to Keona's Pediatric Nephrologist and Surgeon

Yesterday, we brought Keona to her pediatrician-nephrologist to have her rashes checked.  I have been self-medicating her with antihistamines for her rashes is back since she eat a lot of peanuts and chocolates.  Doctor Mike added  a medication that would heal her itchiness so she'll not scratch it often.  He also gave an ointment to apply on affected areas during the night.

The clinic of Keona's surgeon is located at the 9th floor of the medical tower building so we just check if he's around.  That visit should have been done last December but the surgeon was on vacation.  We have had several visits again but he was not around.  He is a super-duper busy pediatric surgeon.  Fortunately, he was around yesterday and I had with me the renal scan result of Keona.  He was happy with Keona's renal scan result.  It showed the physiological functions of her kidneys and everything's really good except that her left kidney functions a little faster than the right which doctor Mike said, will still improve because she's just a little child.

The visit was great because it was the first time that Keona did not cry.  We told her not to cry because the doctors will just check her rashes.  Hubby instructed her to say hi/hello and show her rashes.  She just did as instructed.  Upon seeing Doctor Mike, she said "hi" to which Doctor Mike replied "Hello" with a big smile.  She then move closer to Doctor Mike and showed her rashes on her shoulders.  She said " thank you" when Doctor Mike handed me the ointment.  All in all, it was a nice visit to the doctors:).  I just hope Keona's rashes will be gone soon.
