When KIKO turned 2, he developed an overwhelming interest in colors.  He was able to recognize primary colors: red, yellow and blue as well as secondary: orange, green and violet ( purple as he calls it ) through watching BabyTV , channel 48 on Destiny Cable TV .  He also knew most of the alphabet. Now, he's almost 3 and because of his intense curiosity and fondness over the colors' visual characteristics, he finds a way to express that inherent learning instinct through scribbling on the floor, doodles on the door, and even if I put those permanent markers out of his reach... he still looks for means to get them.  Sometimes, we argue about it and he will start to cry. I was doing some chores when Beth, our house help suddenly uttered in shock: "Oh my God!" I hurriedly approached them and saw these scripts on the puzzle mat: Beth tried to erase the marks using a wet rag with bleach. All efforts have exerted but to no avail. The damage has been do

  I don't remember exactly when was the first time my youngest KIKO laid eyes on  Mr. Bean .  He's turning 3 years old this coming June and so far, he's growing up so fast like other normal kids do.  I have witnessed every developmental milestone he's gone through and I know he has so much more to learn about things around him and how will he react on certain situation. Somehow, I enjoy watching Mr. Bean and his crazy old comic acts and funny dancing moves.  I noticed that Kiko also finds pleasure in watching either the animated program or the TV series starring Rowan Atkinson as the famous Mr. Bean whose whole life is one funny situation after another. The truth is, I don't find any negative effect on my Kiko's attitude or the way he interacts. He never imitate Mr. Bean's weird actions and funny facial expressions. I think I have nothing to worry about his overwhelming interest in the hilarious man.What I have to do as a mom is to guide him, c

Speculation or truth? I'm amazed and quite eager to know if  there's a strong basis to an intriguing issue that Jose Riza l, our national hero was believed to be the father of Adolf Hitler , founder and leader of the Nazi Party .  Because of  my intense desire to know the details behind this matter, I read some articles about it and learned some theories that may lead to any conclusion to this long-time controversial rumor. These are the pictures of Rizal and Hitler at age 35 To make the subject easy to comprehend, let's consider these facts opposite the unverified information . Dr. Jose Rizal was known to be a romantic lover with a bunch of women on his list and some others like the supposed mother of Hitler named Klara Polzl. (When he was in Europe, it was noted out that he found this pretty European girlfriend somewhere in the border of Germany and Austria. In Berlin he finished Noli Me Tangere. One of the book's characters is named Maria Clara.)

Humans as well as animals need enough sleep aside from good nutrition and exercise to sustain healthy living. Sleeping is an essential part of our daily life. It restores and refreshes our body and mind. Without proper sleep, we cannot work efficiently and think effectively. According to HELPGUIDE.org , "The quality of your sleep directly affects the quality of your waking life, including your mental sharpness, productivity, emotional balance, creativity, physical vitality, and even your weight. No other activity delivers so many benefits with so little effort!  Sleep is not merely a time when your body and brain shut off. While you rest, your brain stays busy, overseeing a wide variety of biological maintenance tasks that keep you running in top condition and prepare you for the day ahead. Without enough hours of restorative sleep, you’re like a car in need of an oil change. You won’t be able to work, learn, create, and communicate at a level even close to your true pote

Why do people dream? Can these dreams affect our being? Do these dreams come to reality? If you happen to have a nightmare, do you want to fall asleep again?

After more than 2 1/2 decades, Freddy Krueger struck again in the remake of this timeless horror film entitled "Nightmare on Elm Street " 1984 version OVERVIEW by Wikipedia: A Nightmare on Elm Street is a 1984 American slasher film directed and written by Wes Craven, and the first film of the Nightmare on Elm St reet franchise.

This is how we looked together when my AYA was only 3 years old. Her facial expression resembled mine but actually she's prettier than me. And this is how we are now. She's a lot more beautiful and lovely. She has grown to be a fine young lady though sometimes we have different points of view and disagree to some issues concerning school and other teenage activities. In this modern fast-paced environment, the things which were considered luxuries before are regarded as needs of today's generation. Children of this digital age are learning and adopting quicker than the elders adjusting to the present society. The new trends like mobile phones, music players, computer and other gadgets are affecting my concern to understand the young people's mind like my AYA. I keep comparing myself from her especially when I was her age. I'm the eldest daughter and she is my firstborn so, I seem to expect too much from her but I guess it's not right to p

My eyesight has never been that good. I remember during my primary school years, I used to occupy the front seat because I could hardly read the lessons written on the blackboard. At first, I was reluctant to have my eyes checked and I just felt uncomfortable wearing eyeglasses. I never realized that it would lead to a more serious condition. From then on, I had no other choice but to use corrective glasses and contact lenses. I was hopeful that my vision would get better, but the worst happened and now that I'm on my early 40's, I'm even more afraid to lose my sight. Based on my earlier diagnosis and eye exams, I have a left lazy eye and my right eye suffers from high myopia and high astigmatism . I have visited several eye specialists and they have the same findings. One ophthalmologis t even told me that my eyes easily age and that the cause of this condition maybe congenital in nature. I had that scar in my retina upon birth. There is a possibilit
