{giggle, giggle, giggle all the way}

I {heart} Grey's

Seriously,

I was able to catch a few episodes of the reruns of Grey's Anatomy season 1. It's already on the part when Addison accepted the offer to stay at Seattle Grace. It was the part when Derek is torn between trying to make his marriage work and his feelings for Meredith but he chooses the relationship that was tested by time. Although I know what happens after that, I still cannot help but cry when I get to think that I am feeling what Mer is feeling {I didn't mean I can relate - I am just a cry baby ;) }. It sucks to be the abandoned one.

Mer was narrating and at the end of the episode, she asked how much is too much. I like the way Grey's episode are started and ended with one of the characters narrating. A common sentiment that most characters share. Mer was pertaining to her love for Derek. It also applies to Izzie's growing fondness for Alex and Burck's attraction to Cristina Yang.

Hopefully, I'll get to start watchin the 4th Season soon. I still have Heroes, Desperate Housewives and CSI waiting in line. And from the 2 episodes I saw of Private Practive, I am so very interested in the nice Addison character. {Oh, time. So much to do, so little time}.

our pride and joy

i simply am a quiet person. and i am so shy in letting other people know how i feel. as a mom, sometimes, the happiness you feel about your child's achievements is so intense that you just want to share it to the world.

a few weeks ago, i have finished a minibook about our son's first year in school. you can say that it was a months-in-the-making project because i really do not know how to document his first time school experiences. glad that i found the solution in a mini. will have to post the pictures of the album at a later time when i have printed the journaling (i still cannot love my own handwriting {sigh}).

meantime, while i am into the proud-of-his-achievements mode...i decided to use his kindergarten recognition pictures for the kaya challenge.

Journaling: it was your first experience of school...no daycare...no summer classes...we only had blue's clues, Dora and little Einstein for your training but you sailed through kindergarten with flying colors...top of your class...amazing for a first timer...and you made us very proud...

ICE - 'In Case of Emergency'

Read this at Aidisan's and wanted to share it so you can pass it along.

Apparently this is a standard procedure all paramedics follow at the scene of an accident when they come across your cell phone.

We all carry our mobile phones with names & numbers stored in its memory but nobody, other than ourselves, knows which of these numbers belong to our closest family or friends.

If we were to be involved in an accident or were taken ill, the people attending us would have our mobile phone but wouldn't know who to call. Yes, there are hundreds of numbers stored but which one is the contact person in case of an emergency? Hence this 'ICE' (In Case of Emergency) Campaign.

The concept of 'ICE' is catching on quickly. It is a method of contact during emergency situations. As cell(mobile) phones are carried by the majority of the population, all you need to do is store the number of a contact person or persons who should be contacted during emergency under the name 'ICE' ( In Case Of Emergency).

The idea was thought up by a paramedic who found that when he went to the scenes of accidents, there were always mobile phones with patients, but they didn't know which number to call. He therefore thought that it would be a good idea if there was a nationally recognized name for this purpose. In an emergency situation, Emergency Service personnel and hospital Staff would be able to quickly contact the right person by simply dialing the number you have stored as 'ICE'.

For more than one contact name simply enter ICE1, ICE2 and ICE3 etc. A great idea that will make a difference!

Let's spread the concept of ICE by storing an ICE number in our mobile phones today! It really could save your life, or put a loved one's mind at rest. ICE will speak for you when you are not able to.

this cutie is sick

found this photo of JP. he was barely a year old here. he used to be so skinny. i am thankful that he gained weight when he grew older. whenever he is sick, he has enough kilos to sustain the weight loss. he's been sick for just 5 days but i already noticed his smaller belly. i can slip his shorts effortlessly when we went to the doctor. i used to have a hard time with it.

it's pretty hard for parents when kids are sick. i almost cried this morning when we had his blood tested for infection. although i was able to persuade him to had the test done, we was crying the whole time. thank goodness the technologist was very patient.

hopefully, in a few days he'll be well enough to go to school. well enough to play outside again. well enough for us to finish the half gallon of ice cream [just kidding] that has been sitting in the freezer. i just missed eating ice cream with my baby. it is our bonding time. {actually, our kitchen is our bonding place}. can't wait for you to be well, kiddo. mom and dad are also sick {maybe not literally but it feels like it} when you are.
