So, finally after 2 and almost a half year I finally thought "yeah, i think i can do this marathon". I'm referring to my birth story, which I thought I don't really need to document, and I've read a lot about from other people, and that I thought it's fine, I will spare everyone the details of how I laboured for almost a day, and that my son does not need to know how I suffered happily (neck deep in sarcasm here) to get him out. Seriously, the only thought that comforted me that time was "it will all be over soon. it will not last forever." Funny. I am writing now because I am challenging myself to write about something concise. And that because I want my son to read about this when he's old enough (because he can read now, and it will only be a matter of months before he can read a story by himself. oh boy, can he read.), and maybe come back to it when he needs to be reminded and assured.

I know, it's not really an exciting item-- I think this is what getting to my 30s made me. A salad loving hippie.  2. I can touch my toes with the grace and flexibility of someone who stretches everyday. 3. I just learned my first uku

It's airline food, why are we even expecting a lot from it, right? Well, I believe that if you are riding on a 'premium' steed that been listed as among best in the industry, expecting them to provide good service (and food should be part of it) should never be understated. So far with my son, on the non-budget airline category (because we've already flown Cebu Pacific for Christmas Holidays when A was a year old) we have tried Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific Air and Emirates and here are a few notes on their selections. (to be constantly updated) - Singapore Airlines 1. SIN-MNL-SIN, Economy, 3+ hrs flight with a 6 month old infant Baby Meal: Is the usual bottled baby food, mostly flavored apple sauce and if you're lucky (like on A's first time), wider variations such as turkey with squash and corn, or pear. *Now the problem with that is--our son does not eat bottled baby food. Having said this, I think it is still our responsibility, as parents t
