Talking the Toddler-ease way to Princess is very applicable whenever she is in her tantrumland.

And if she’s in her calm self you can talk to her the normal way, but if she’s having some bad day (which only occur if she lacks sleep, deprived of some chocolates and sweets—coz we don’t want her to be addicted to sweets, or if momsy or dada do not want to give in to what she wants, yes…she’s a demanding toddler!) the following course of action should take place: a.) Talk to her in short phrases b.) Talk to her in a low tone c.)Repeat what she wants to convey in that way she’s assured that you really listened and understand her d.)Use a facial expression and body language that shows that you care and respect her.

Shouting back at her would do no good and bears only more defiance in her part. She’s a tough kiddo and it will only make her tougher.

3 more weeks na lang at lalabas na si Sean Linus, pray ko lang na sana maging safe ang panganganak ko at healthy sya. di na ako masyadong nakakatulog sa gabi at palagi ng sumasakit ang likod ko. sana di ako mahirapan this time unlike with my daughter sobrang tagal akong naglabor at sobra akong nahirapan.

halos okay na ang lahat ng mga gamit nya, yong mga lampin na lang at ibang receiving blankets ang kinakailangang plantsahin. nabili na rin namin sya ng mga bottles nya just in case kailangan.

be a good boy our li’l angel. mommy, daddy and ate Andrea love you very much!!!

Naku. magdadalawang buwan na hindi pa rin dumadating ang katulong namin, sabi with in ten days maaayos ang visa nya pero hanggang sa ngayon wala pa rin. Naka-ilang biyernes na rin ang lumipas pagtinatanong namin, ang sasabihin darating na ngayong friday pero ala pa rin.

Una nagkaproblema sa maid’s visa nya kasi wrong spelling ang surname nya.

At last, 2 days more to go andito na ang kapatid ko, sa dinami-dami ng mga nangyari sa kanya bago matapos lahat ng mga kailangan nyang lakarin sa Pinas para makarating sya dito sa amin, natapos din. napakadali dito mag-apply ng kahit na anong visa wag lang ang visiting visa for brothers kasi bawal yan ngayon pero ang problema naman ay sa Pinas.
“Welcome to Doha unkyel Nonoy” sabi ni Princess:)

We went to City Center to catch up with some friends and it’s the birthday of Princess godfather; had a dinner at Applebee’s and headed to the movie theater to watch War of the Worlds…Yes! for the first time we let our 21 months old daughter to watch a movie, yon nga lang sci-fi pa at hindi cartoons. Buti na lang hindi sya umiyak and she let daddy Nath to carry and hug her and sometimes sat beside ate jelay or transfer to me again. Natapos din namin yong movie pero parang bitin yong ending and how come that Tom Cruise was able to use a car while yong other cars di umaandar? Parang may kulang but the effects were great. In a scale of 10, i’ll rate it with 8.

Sa wakas natapos ko na rin ang pag-oorganize ng mga gamit ni Sean Linus (ang magiging bago naming angel baby sa bahay). Dati tinago ko na lahat sa maleta ang mga baby clothes at mga iba pa nyang gagamitin kaso hindi pa rin naman pala kami makakalipat ng bahay kaya balik sa closet na naman lahat ng mga gamit. At least marami syang mga gamit mga pinaglumaan ni ate nya kasi halos lahat ng pinamili ko noon sa panganay namin ay pang-unisex kaya okay lang.

Sana maging maayos at madali ang panganganak ko ngayon unlike sa panganay namin na masyado akong pinahirapan, maglabor ba naman ako ng 14 hours! At isa pa ang mga nakabantay na mga Indianang nurse ay walang paki-alam kundi nakikipag tsismisan lang sa ibang nurse na dumadaan. nakatatlong shift ako ng mga nurses at halos silang lahat ay walang silbi. Ang hirap talaga dito sa bansang ito, hindi pwede ang asawa o kahit na sinong kapamilyang babae na magbantay sa’yo habang nanganganak ka.

Okay naman ang mga gamit nila dito sa hospital yon nga lang kasi Arab country kaya hindi pwedeng nasa tabi mo ang yong hubby habang ume-ere ka. Di rin pwedeng magrequest na mag pa caesarean ka not unless na kailangan talaga.

On the positive side, walang bayad ang manganak dito kahit pa caesarian, wag ka lang papalagay sa private room after delivery. On our first born, private room yong kinuha ni Nath kaya ayon anlaki ng binayaran namin, parang nagpa-caesarian na sa Pinas. Pero okay na lang kasi sulit naman kasi alaga ka talaga pati ang baby and most of the nurses Pinay pa kaya okay lang.

Pray ko lang talaga na mas madali at walang anumang komplekasyon ang panganganak ko at safe and healthy ang baby namin…

HIndi lahat ng gusto natin ay nangyayari ayon sa kagustuhan natin. Hanggang ngayon inaantay namin ang kinuha naming maid and until now hindi pa rin lumalabas ang visa nya. Malay ba namin na may problema palang haharapin.

Noong unang lumabas yong visa nya mali naman ang spelling ng apelyido nya but worst nong binalik na sa immigration ang papeles nya na cancel pala sya kaya she has to do some errands in the Pinas para maayos ang gusot.

It’s nearing its second month mula ng i-process ang pagkuha sa kanya at hanggang ngayon wala pa rin. Kung hindi lang nakaka-awa naman sa part nya i would rather get another maid na lang kaso nagkagastos na rin sya kasi lumuwas na sya ng Manila.

Sana pagdating naman nya dito maayos sya para worthy naman ang effort pati ang perang ginastos sa kanya.
