Mouth Sore

Hi friends! Sorry for the lack of posts nowadays. You know, it's really difficult to blog using an iPad. Lappy is not working yet.. Hindi ko pa napapagawa talaga..

Anyway, to mommies out there, or to anyone who has experienced mouth sore, do you know how to cure it? Well, mouth sore is also known as singaw... Unfortunately, Johann has singaw. He has been cranky for the past 2 days already.. I tried putting Dequadin on his tongue. Nandun kasi yung singaw nya. Sobra siyang nasasaktan.. iyak ng iyak.. He has not been drinking milk din kasi siguro talagang masakit. I've been up all night for the past 2 days 'coz once in a while, he would wake up and cry. Again, siguro kasi masakit.

I don't know what to do. Nakakaawa din kasi ang baby ko.

Will go to the doctor pa tomorrow, Monday. If you know how to cure his mouth sore or atleast lessen his pain, just comment ha? I would really appreciate it! Thanks!

Hello!

I just want to make kwento to you guys about my son Johann. I have said it before in one of my previous post that Johann is a hand full. But it is okay. Lalaki kasi, napaka-likot. He usually plays with anything shiny or colorful. I am trying my best not to make him sanay with that habit. Pero minsan, di talaga masuway. He usually picks the stuff on the dresser. Either cologne, perfume bottles, etc. Tatakot kami na baka mabasag and ma-tibo (mapasukan ng bubog yung paa) si Johann. Plus most perfume we have are expensive. Wala kaming pera pambili ulit. Haha! 

I was cleaning the other day, and took a picture of the dresser. Well, we have the antique dresser with heart mirror. Medyo open talaga sya so easy access for my baby. As you can see also, medyo madami dami rin ang pwede nyang maabot or makuha jan. Just don't mind the messiness of the dresser. I was cleaning eh. Pinunasan ko sila isa isa.. Hehe.

Sorry for the kalat. Hehe.

The day after I cleaned the dresser, I tried checking for ideas online, that I can apply so that it won't be so makalat anymore and for Johann not to reach those stuff you saw above. I remembered that before, when we bought something in Ace Hardware, I saw this aisle where they have laminated wood planks. So, I checked the website. There were limited planks in their website eh, no prices too. I decided to call them nalang. The person who answered gave the phone to a guy who is assigned in that aisle. He was very helpful. He even provided me with better ideas and not to mention prices of each. Take note: sa phone lang yun ha. I asked his name and told him we'd drop by later that afternoon.

John and Johann accompanied me in going to Ace Hardware. I looked for the guy I talked to. He assisted us with all our needs. He was very informative too with the products we were looking for. From the plank, to the light bulb, to the telephone shower, to mirror brackets etc. I wonder if all the people in Ace Hardware are that helpful. May be because the last time I was there, I was assisted properly din naman. I am very thankful for that guy in AH. 

We installed the plank the following day. And look who helped us do so. We have a little handy helper at home. He even used his toy hammer. Hehe.

My little handy helper and my Handy Manny (Johnny) . Haha.

First try.

I finished installing the plank. John had to go to work na kasi. I can also be a carpenter you know. I placed hooks under the plank for the clothes and for my necklaces. I bought hooks that can be hammered on a concrete wall. I am so amazed 'coz it can hold up to 15kg. I was initially planning to buy hooks that can be placed on the wall using adhesive. It is not reliable pala for clothes. Good thing this guy from AH suggested we use the hooks for concrete. And viola!

Actual stuff we placed on the plank. Plus the hooks under the plank.

I was actually teasing Johann: "Haha, you can't reach them anymore, baby." Johann keeps on smiling lang, while trying to reach the top. Then after a while he said "Mama, di abot baby." Hehe..

Pero wag kayo! Kanina lang, I saw him dragging his chair, trying to reach the powder puff. Haha! Persistent! :)

Q: Any home improvements you know? Wanna share? :)

Electrolux HUSH Happier at Home

I am or was a happy-go-lucky person. I didn't even know how to wash the dishes, clean the house, do the laundry or even cook! But ever since I became a mom and wife, I try my best to make sure that my hubby and baby are well taken cared. So I learned everything from cleaning, washing, baking, preparing and cooking. It just came naturally. Ganon yata talaga kapag mommy na. 

One thing I love doing is baking/cooking and preparing food and drinks. Ako pa man din yung tipong first try, almost perfect na! Kaya I am loving it more. The only thing that is preventing me to do so (always) is the lack of good kitchen appliances. I believe kasi na the food will be better if cooked the right way in the right kind of utensil or appliance. In example, when I was in college, I baked a cupcake using a Turbo machine. Imagine? Haha! Cupcake was delicious but it appeared not to be. Gets? It's not presentable but tastes good. Kasi, it was not baked properly in the right kind of oven. It'll be better sana if baked sa oven talaga. Diba?

So anyway, every time I prepare a meal or merienda, hubby always wants to have either juice, shake/smoothie or soda. But we are now trying to cut it off, I mean the soda, 'coz nawiwili masyado si baby. So NO to soda for now. Hubby's favorites are Country Time Pink Lemonade and the Kool Aid Strawberry. Minsan I would make them not as juice but shake. The thing is, I really seldom make them as shake 'coz little Johann doesn't like the noise. It's too loud that it scares him. Always yan! He would cry and run to his dad. I don't know nga eh, even the hand mixer nga takot 'cya. Oh well.

I have a recent discovery though. I present to you, The Electrolux Powermix Silent Blender. I researched and read most reviews regarding this amazing blender. IT DOES NOT SCARE BABIES OR TODDLERS! Why so? Well, as the name goes, "Silent Blender". 

Sooo Stylish!

Yezzz! We may have one those conventional blenders at home but the Powermix Silent Blender is really waaaaay better! It is 10x quieter than the average blender that we have. Powerful but Quiet, not to mention Neat and Stylish. What more can we ask for?

Things to love:
1. Easy to clean because Electrolux made the jug's inside smooth. Blades are removable too! So no left overs in the blades of the blender. (Ganyan yung luma naming blender! Magkakasugat ka muna bago mo malinis yung ilalim nung blade. Di kasi natatanggal. Hehe.)

Removable!

2. Any food that we blend will be pulled down to the blades since it has a triangular jug design. It creates a vortex effect that pulls it to the blades. We don't really have to worry with chunk of food stuck on the walls of our blender.

See the vortex? 

3. It's not only a blender but a mini chopper. It has an additional accessory to chop/grind. Plus, a fruit filter, so it would automatically separate the fresh fruit juice from it's seeds, pits or pulp. 

Fruit Filter

4. As mentioned, it is Quiet. It features a Sound Reduction System, a unique combination of reduced vibrations and airflow. Sound level - 80 dB (parang sound ng phone dial tone). It's that quiet! (Source)

5. And lastly, easy to use! You don't have to make pili of what button to press 'coz the only thing you need to control is the speed dial. From 0 - Pulse - Min - Max. 

Easy right? 

Is there anything we should/would hate? None! Besides, it is from a trusted brand, Electrolux.

Baby-Compatible.
Conversation-Compatible.

I am sure, weekends won't be the same again. It would be more fun, quieter and more relaxing having cool drinks and merienda or meals, hassle-free and scare-free, especially to my baby! Ooh! Did I also mention? Hubby is a bartender. Once in awhile, during Sundays, he would mix some drinks for us. It us our ultimate bonding session, alcohol/cocktail drinking. He would sometimes use our noisy blender in making mojito. It would be awesome if he'd do it noise-free!

Have a happy weekend everyone! :)

Great Finds 1!

I am a sucker for home organizing stuff. Post its, notepads, utility boxes, boxes with dividers, baskets etc. Since our house is so cluttered, I really need those! Hehe. And did I mention, my mind is cluttered too? Haha! That's why may post its and notepads.. I love to list my thoughts! :D

Believe it or not, I can be soooo organized at times, pero pag nagmamadali, I tend to put things anywhere nalang. However, may cycle cya, once I notice that it is so messy already, back to linis, ligpit and organize na.

So anyway, I passed by Daiso Japan Home Center in ATC last Monday. Here are the things I bought:

Toothbrush holder with cup

see? mga pang organize ng kung anik-anik.

May, my bestfriend, bought this liquid soap. I got inggit, I bought two, to try. Hehe.
Mabango cya infairness and soft sa skin.

Handy Medicine Organizer for me. John already has his, ako naman.

Rack with stand. 

Basket for whatevers

Those are really cheap! Great finds too! 

Q: What are your recent loots/finds?

     Would you prefer the cheap ones or the expensive ones?
