Hi there everyone! It has been over two (2) years that I have been on blog hiatus.<br />Moving from my comfort zone to a whole new unit has not been that easy.<br />
In that two (2) years of hiatus, in my heart I know that I will always go back to my<br />
first love - WRITING.<br />
<br />
I cant leave a promise that I will be posting regularly due to my unpredictable<br />
work routine but for sure I shall go back and share some stories to everyone<br />
that you can relate with and learn from. I miss hearing from my readers too!<br />
<br />
I just have to prepare this page to become better and readable perhaps?<br />
Its nice to be in my second home - BLOGGING.<br />
<br />
God bless everyone!</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Since cooking has been one of my de-stressing activities, I did cook this very simple appetiser/pulutan recipe. So if you are a fan of hot and spicy food, you may continue reading this post. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Lumpia Wrapper</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Long Green Chillies</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Cheddar or Quick Melt Cheese</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Canola Oil or your own choice of cooking oil</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dip:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mayo</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ketchup</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Procedure:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1. Wash up the chillies then cut it lengthwise just enough to remove its seeds.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
2. Remove the seeds of chillies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3. Re-wash the chillies (you may omit this if you want it to be more spicy) then drain.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
4. Slice the cheese thinly so as to cover the entire space of the chillies.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5. Stuff the chillies with cheese.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
6. Wrap the cheese stuffed chillies with lumpia or milo wrapper.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
7. Fry then set aside.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
8. For the dip, combine mayo and ketchup then stir and get that soft consistency.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
9. Serve.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I just spent a Php 100.00 with this recipe so why don't you try it? Have a Spicy Sunday!!!</div>

For my last post, I have featured <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CafeAntix" target="_blank">CAFE ANTIX</a>. For this blog post, I am featuring <a href="https://www.facebook.com/AsaoGrillAndSteakHouse" target="_blank">ASAO Grill and Steak House</a>, which can also be found in Cavite City particularly at <a href="https://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&pc=FACEBK&mid=8100&rtp=adr.%7Epos.14.4889970378_120.895397438_Asao+Grill+and+Steak+House_897+P.+Burgos+Avenue%2C+San+Roque+Cavite+City%2C+Cavite+City&cp=14.4889970378%7E120.895397438&lvl=16&sty=r&rtop=0%7E0%7E0%7E&mode=D&FORM=FBKPL1&mkt=en-GB" style="text-align: left;">897 P. Burgos Avenue, San Roque Cavite City</a>. Its the same road en route to PN or Naval Base Pascual Ledesma. I actually had my lunch on said restaurant the day after I had my dinner at Cafe Antix.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Asao Grill and Steak House business hours is from 0900H - 2030H. Last call for orders is actually at 2000H. Just last September 3, it has already been featured at Mikael Daez' Midnight Express in GMA 7.</div>

One of my havens when I feel stressed out or simply finding a place where I can review, read and draft my articles/reports/blog posts or unwind include cafeterias. NCR is actually convoluted already with the different coffee and tea shops.<br>
<br>
Coffee shops located in McKinley, Resorts World area, BGC and Pasong Tamo area were already my <i>tambayan sites. </i>Aside from having a place where I can find a piece of serenity, it's also near my workplace so whenever my boss have an emergency call, as we always say, <i>isang tumbling lang.</i><br>
<br>
Come March 2014, my world became a total revamp. An order was given to me sending me to a schooling, which will later on change the course of my total being..as a naval officer, as a wife, as a daughter and most especially as a mother.<br>
<br>
From a totally enclosed, cool room in Fort Bonifacio, I was transferred to Cavite City. Being reassigned to another unit and transferring from one place to another is inevitable. Nevertheless, it must not be discounted that I had a bit of a problem on adjusting. I had a hard time looking for a new <i>tambayan. </i><br>
<i><br></i>
Three days prior leaving Cavite for my break before reporting to my ship, I successfully found the perfect place where I can stay once I get back to PhilFleet. <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CafeAntix" target="_blank">CAFE ANTIX</a>.<br>
<br>
<b><i>THE PLACE.</i></b><br>
<b><i><br></i></b>
Cafe Antix is located at <a href="https://www.bing.com/maps/default.aspx?v=2&pc=FACEBK&mid=8100&rtp=adr.%7Epos._Caf%C3%A9+Antix_5125+P.+Burgos+Ave.+Cor.+Cabuco+St.+Caridad%2C+Cavite+City&lvl=16&sty=r&rtop=0%7E0%7E0%7E&mode=D&FORM=FBKPL1&mkt=en-GB">5125 P. Burgos Ave. Cor. Cabuco St. Caridad, Cavite City</a> (right after Subi Monte). Its theme is actually antique inspired place. Here are some of the photos of the cafe:<br>

We were supposed to add up pasta in our orders. But since the pizza is already heavy (not expecting really that the pizza would really be good that I was even surprised by its affordable rate), we opted not to add up pasta dish. <b><i>THE MENU.</i></b><br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
If you noticed, I am more inclined to cooking main courses and or appetizers. Admittedly, desserts is not my forte. But I actually endeavor to learn more of making pastries. Hopefully when time permits, I will be able to have some training at TESDA or maybe a formal training perhaps at a culinary school.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cc1S5TtimfU/VAbWFQJrixI/AAAAAAAAGrM/wn2DkjnV7rs/s1600/float.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-Cc1S5TtimfU/VAbWFQJrixI/AAAAAAAAGrM/wn2DkjnV7rs/s1600/float.jpg" height="434" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
So here's my version of PEACH HALVES FROZEN CAKE:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EDcoN6LSN1k/VAaz-Wcry9I/AAAAAAAAGqc/xPiarsTgNW8/s1600/Peach%2BFloat-1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-EDcoN6LSN1k/VAaz-Wcry9I/AAAAAAAAGqc/xPiarsTgNW8/s1600/Peach%2BFloat-1.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ingredients:<br />
1 can broas<br />
1 can 400g peach halves<br />
2 cans Nestle Cream<br />
1 can Alaska Condensed Milk<br />
<br />
Procedure:<br />
<br />
1. Cut Peach Halves into thin pieces. Set aside.<br />
2. Mix Nestle Cream and Condensed Milk.<br />
3. Lay broad flat on your container then top it with the cream and milk mixture.<br />
4. Repeat procedure 2 till the layer almost reach the top.<br />
4. On the topmost layer, place the peaches. Pour the remaining cream and milk mixture.<br />
5. Chill it for about 2 hours.<br />
6. Serve cold.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
So far, my kids and my husband loved it better than when I used graham. Broas is already sweet so I did cut my condensed milk usage to one can instead of using 2.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Being in the military, mouthwash and breath spray has been part and parcel of my husband and I's toiletry set. When worst comes to worst like Field Training Exercises (FTX), emergency conferences and other surprise meetings, mouthwash and breath sprays are treated as quick fix to that after lunch or <i>merienda</i> smell.<br />
<br />
However, using mouthwash and breath spray is also like having a relationship: you find what brand is meant for you. Finding a brand not suitable for you is like having that love-hate relationship. I believe that some have the same horror story like mine: tongue/mouth burn that led to none working taste buds for almost 3 days! That was awful!<br />
<br />
Now, I am having, loving and embracing a new product brought to you by <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Unilab" target="_blank">UNILAB</a>!<br />
<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Aside from mouthwash, peppermint fresh<br />flavoured breath spray is also available!<br />Of course, its alcohol-free and sugar-free!</i></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
So what are the benefits of using SWISH from other brands? Well it promotes a person's wellness and hygienic through the following:<br />
1. It gives fresh breath at an instant without that burning sensation.<br />
2. It effectively cleans mouth and gums. (Admit it. Sometimes toothbrush is not enough).<br />
3. It is proven safe since it is alcohol and sugar free.<br />
<br />
So what are you waiting for? LET'S SWITCH TO SWISH!!!</div>

Spaghetti has been one of the staple foods in various kiddie parties. In our home, it is my husband's favourite pasta, which eventually became E's favorite as well. What is the difference of this one to other spaghetti? Well, I did not use any meat. Here's how:<br />
<br />
Ingredients:<br />
<br />
(For the Sauce)<br />
<br />
1 kilo spaghetti sweet style sauce (this is loved by kids)<br />
Tomato paste (the amount will actually depend on you. This helps the sauce to be a little thick and creamy)<br />
5 tbsp olive oil<br />
1/2 cup butter<br />
1 whole garlic minced<br />
2 onions minced<br />
1 large size of carrot cut into small cubes<br />
1 large size red bell pepper cut into small cubes<br />
1 tbsp dried basil leaves<br />
1 270g mushrooms thinly cut<br />
pepper<br />
1 small can condensed milk<br />
<br />
(For the pasta)<br />
<br />
Spahetti or angel hair pasta (I used 450-500g)<br />
3 tbsp cooking oil<br />
1 tbsp rock salt<br />
<br />
Procedure:<br />
<br />
1. For the pasta, cook it according to its instructions located on its back label.<br />
2. For the sauce:<br />
a. Saute' garlic (until brown) and onions (till caramelized) with olive oil and butter.<br />
b. Place the mushrooms and leave it for about 3 minutes.<br />
c. Place carrots and leave for 3 minutes.<br />
d. Place spaghetti sauce and stir. Let it simmer for about 5 to 10 minutes.<br />
e. Place red bell pepper, basil leaves and black pepper. Mix in tomato paste and condensed milk. Let it simmer again for about 10-15 minutes. Stir the sauce mixture once in a while for it to avoid sticking with the cooking pan.<br />
<br />
Pour the sauce on the pasta. Serve warm. Top it with grated cheese.<br />
HAPPY EATING!<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a woman like me, our hair serves as our "crowning glory." We are often more concerned of how does our hair look like than our skin (well at least for me since I find my skin to be more manageable than my hair). This also holds true to my husband who for about 2 years now has been having a problem with hair loss. Prior reviewing the gift of Novu Hair, we must first answer some questions about hair loss.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b>Hair Loss Facts</b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><u>Types of Hair Loss</u></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><u><a href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/understanding-hair-loss-basics" target="_blank">Involutional Alopecia</a></u> - a natural condition in which hair gradually thins when we come of age.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/understanding-hair-loss-basics" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Androgenic Alopecia</a> - this can be possibly experience by both male and female. Men may begin experiencing this in their teens while for us women; we may being experiencing this in our 40s.</span></li>
<li><a href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/understanding-hair-loss-basics" style="font-family: inherit; text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Alopecia Areata</a><span style="font-family: inherit;"> - this is a patchy hair loss among young and adults that could even result to </span>tap<span style="font-family: inherit;"> hair loss. On the other hand, about 90 percent of these cases return to normal hair condition after a few years.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/understanding-hair-loss-basics" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Alopecia Universalis</a> - hair all over the body falls out (yes everything!).</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/understanding-hair-loss-basics" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Trichotillomania</a> - psychological order where one person pulls out his/her own hair and is mostly seen in children.</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: inherit;"><a href="http://www.webmd.com/skin-problems-and-treatments/guide/understanding-hair-loss-basics" style="text-decoration: underline;" target="_blank">Telogen Effluvium</a> - temporary hair thinning over the scalp.</span></li>
</ul>
In addition to this, hair loss may be hereditary, genetics, severe stress, illness, result of over-all ageing process, hormonal changes (especially for women who just gave birth or are still pregnant) and nutritional changes.<br />

NOVUHAIR is a product that boasts of its natural herbs, essential oils and nutrients that naturally treat hair problems the safest and effective way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My husband started using these two main NOVUHAIR products last May 5, 2014. As I have sighted above, he has been suffering for a kind of alopecia for I guess 6 months now aside from the fact that baldness is somehow hereditary in his father side. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a month now, 2 patches of hair loss are still present though we noticed thin brownish hair follicles that are already starting to grow. The product promises that a greater result can be seen after the first set of package is used. My husband is actually on his halfway using the product and currently we both are satisfied with result we are seeing.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On the other hand, it must be noted that CONSISTENCY in using the product is needed. Likewise, your job type is also a factor. My husband is now in his staff position and stress is actually inevitable. So at the end of the usage of the product, this also affects its effectiveness. Nevertheless, we firmly believed that we already found the product meant for my husband's hair loss treatment needs. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
HAPPY NOVUHAIR DAY everyone!!!</div>

<br />
<b>Procedure:</b><br />
<b><br /></b>
1. Sautee garlic and onions with the butter and olive oil oil until golden brown.<br />
2. For this purpose I used our leftover (grilled chicken) as ingredient as well. So mix in the meat.<br />
3. Pour in water (it actually depends on you on how much water will you pour in, I often use a pitcher for the 450 grams elbow macaroni). The tendency with small amount of water is that the soup doesn't look like soup anymore. It actually looks like macaroni casserole already. Drop the chicken cubes as well. You may use pork cubes if you choose to use pork meat. Let it simmer.<br />
4. Once it simmers, place the pasta then wait for it to be half-cooked.<br />
5. When the pasta is now half cooked, place the carrots and the evaporated milk. Wait for it to simmer again.<br />
6. Place the red bell pepper and the cabbage. Once it simmer, put the salt.<br />
7. Once the pasta is almost well done, place the parsley or dried basil leaves, and black pepper.<br />
8. After the soup is cooked, you may also put onion leaves.<br />
<br />

<br />
This recipe is good for 8-10 people. I also spent about Php 200.00. This is more healthy for the kids than those instant noodles.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
As our folks always say, you are not a certified Ilocano if you do not know how to cook our famous delicacy: Pinakbet or Pakbet. So here is my share, which I cooked last Good Friday.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6z7kam1bOOs/U1szrMHxUZI/AAAAAAAACNo/5qPfo9XzBII/s1600/pakbet3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-6z7kam1bOOs/U1szrMHxUZI/AAAAAAAACNo/5qPfo9XzBII/s1600/pakbet3.jpg" height="286" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ingredients:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mnwtg3mqfaE/U1sxo1Y8dLI/AAAAAAAACNU/sHhpQ1aXdtQ/s1600/pakbet1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Mnwtg3mqfaE/U1sxo1Y8dLI/AAAAAAAACNU/sHhpQ1aXdtQ/s1600/pakbet1.jpg" height="278" width="400" /></a></div>
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
15 pieces native eggplant </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
15 pieces okra</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
a cup of winged bean (sigarilyas)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3 medium sized ripe tomatoes (cut into 4)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
5-8 pieces native bitter melon (native bitter melon are round in shape) (cut into two)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3 native onions (cut into two)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
3-4 finger chilis (siling mahaba)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
half a bowl of fermented fish (bagoong isda: preferably Lingayen fermented fish)</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Procedure:<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CARVOSz-FTo/U1szBQvnMqI/AAAAAAAACNg/LmxL6BSF8dg/s1600/pakbet2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-CARVOSz-FTo/U1szBQvnMqI/AAAAAAAACNg/LmxL6BSF8dg/s1600/pakbet2.jpg" height="223" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
1. Place all the vegetable ingredients in the cooking pan.<br />
2. Mix about a cup of water with the half bowl of bagoong isda then pour it in (except for the fish itself) the cooking pan with all the ingredients. Do this twice with the same set of bagoong isda used. The first mixture is more concentrated than the second one. The second mixture will prevent the vegetable and the recipe itself to become too much salty.<br />
3. Light up the stove then let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes. You may add up grilled fish on top of the vegetables once it is half-cooked already then it is ready to serve.<br />
<br />
The catch in Pinakbet Ilocano is that you just place all the ingredients and let it cooked by itself. Maybe you will see some sautéing the vegetable first but in a typical and native Ilocano way, we just do the above-mentioned procedure, which is actually more healthy since no cooking oil is needed.<br />
<br />
This recipe I made is good for 3-4 persons. It also costs roughly Php 50-60 only.<br />

Yesterday, 231300H April 2014, the Philippine Navy hosted by the Philippine Fleet conducted the 4th Leg Philippine Navy Governence Forum Series 2014 entitled "Ethics in the Military Service." </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The speaker was no less than Honorable Antonio Trillanes F Trillanes IV, Senator of the Republic of the Philippines. The forum was held at the Fleet Training Center where men and women in the Philippine Navy were all enjoined to listen. The forum even reached the several Naval Forces via Video Tele-Conferencing.</div>

Senator Trillanes may be remembered as the brains behind the Oakwood Mutiny. But since 2007, he started serving the country as a legislator. And since he began his fight against corruption, as part of his advocacy, he gave us a <u><b>mini lecture of what he has supposedly researched before as a young naval officer in connection with the alleged corrupt practices prior the Oakwood Mutiny transpired</b></u>. His topic was subdivided into three:</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Types of Corruption</b> </li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to Sen Trillanes, corruption in the Navy is divided into two: first, is the <u>shore-based corruption</u>, which includes conversions, commission on infrastructure projects, over declaration of soldiers and ghost payroll. Meanwhile, the second type is the ship-based corruption such as pilferage, repairing of ships that doesn't need the same to gain savings, extortion, smuggling, protection "rakets", and "placement fee" for those who would like to go aboard ship the easier way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<ul>
<li><b>Motivations for Corruption</b></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">As per stated by Sen Trillanes, there are several reasons behind why corruption is being committed (at least according to what he have researched as </span>emphasized):</div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Vices.</li>
<li>Low Salary.</li>
<li>It is easy to do.</li>
<li>The Commanding Officer is part of it or he allows it.</li>
<li>Nobody checks.</li>
<li>Nobody gets caught.</li>
</ol>
<ul style="text-align: left;">
<li><b>Policy Proposal </b></li>
</ul>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Senator Trillanes as a former part of the Philippine Navy, understands clearly what the sailors and marines and the whole AFP personnel for that matter really needs in order to stop and alleviate the root causes of why corruption exist/ed. Hereunder are the initiatives and updates of the policies proposed for the benefit of the men in uniform.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<ol>
<li><i><u>Increase salary and benefits.</u></i> The Senator reiterated the update on <b>Subsistence Allowance </b>which will be implemented by the end of the year. All members of the AFP will be able to receive subsistence allowance of Php 150/day. In connection with this, an increase in quarters allowance is also to be implemented, which will be rank-based. Better <b>Medical Benefits </b>are also on its way for passing. This is very important for us soldiers since being in the military equates to having our one foot automatically buried in the ground. Salaries later on will also be <b>positional-based. </b>Lastly, (according to my notes) a <b>representation and service allowance </b>proposal is also proposed. </li>
<li><i><u>Inspector General to be transferred under the supervision of the Office of the President.</u></i></li>
<li><i><u>Mandatory regular drug testing.</u></i></li>
<li><i><u>Prohibit gambling.</u></i></li>
<li><i><u>Fixed term in positions.</u></i></li>
<li><i><u>Pick a Flag-Officer-In-Command who is NOT CORRUPT.</u></i></li>
<li>Once the allowances proposal will be fully implemented, <i><u>APPLYING FOR LOAN WILL BE DISCHARGEABLE.</u></i></li>
</ol>
At the end of the lecture, a forum was conducted. Due to time constraint, only two questions were entertained which were answered in details by the Senator. The Commander, Philippine Fleet on the other hand gave his Closing Remarks emphasizing that <i>THE CURRENT NAVY IS DOING ITS BEST TO PREVENT THE CONDUCT OF CORRUPT DEEDS through the efforts of the Flag Officer In Command, Philippine Navy. </i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i><br /></i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Looking forward for the next PN Governance Forum. I hope that this post has given you a handful of information. For further questions, you may email me or send a pm in my FB and Twitter Account. I've be more than willing to answer in all my capacity in connection with Senator Trillanes' talk.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Every woman's dream is to bear and have a child. But sometimes, we are so overwhelmed with the fact of the giving birth process itself. July 2011, my friend <a href="http://www.moomymusings.com/" target="_blank">Moomy Musings</a> and I became walking mates at the <a href="http://www.afpmedicalcenter.com/" target="_blank">AFP Medical Center</a>, preparing for the day we both will give birth to now brat mates Echo and Noa. Compared to Mommy G, I will assess that I was really more patient in walking (our friend and attending OB <a href="https://www.facebook.com/adette.binalay?fref=ts" target="_blank">Cpt Adesita Binalay</a>-Sagario ordered us maximize walking for us not to have a difficulty in giving birth). Mommy G gave birth via normal delivery last July 4, 2011. Four days after, I also gave birth...guess what...via <a href="http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/cesareansection.html" target="_blank">CAESARIAN SECTION</a>.</span> </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Eight months later, I got pregnant with my little girl Alfa/Army and gave birth last January 2013...again via CAESARIAN SECTION. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">On The First</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><br /></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_1kq_W2sDYY/U1ciz_rPvpI/AAAAAAAACL0/BUbqxc6-rl8/s1600/echo.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_1kq_W2sDYY/U1ciz_rPvpI/AAAAAAAACL0/BUbqxc6-rl8/s1600/echo.jpg" height="400" width="283" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
If i were to choose, I would prefer giving birth via normal delivery. But in Echo's case whose from cephalic became footling breech on the 38th week, this is quite impossible. Besides, I guess the procedure is secondary only to the safety of your child, don't you agree?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When Cpt Sagario conducted IE in the morning of July 8, 2011, she felt something different saying: <i>Sis, we will have an ultrasound ok? I just have to check on something." </i>And so I followed. Her team then saw that my little acrobat inside my tummy then turned around and from cephalic position, he became footling breech. They then decided to conduct C-section in the afternoon. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At exactly 1930H (7 P.M.) that night, I heard Echo's first cry. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Though the after operation was painful that I even caught fever, it was all worth it knowing that Echo was delivered safely.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Maybe you will ask, second baby? Why so soon knowing that as OB suggests, a two to three year gap is the best time to have a second child especially when the mother have undergone C-section. Well, a baby is a blessing whether it is by surprise. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Unlike with Echo, my pregnancy with Army came more smooth-sailing. I was a happy feet going here and there. Come last quarter while our family was having a vacation in Davao, the dilemma came: <a href="http://www.babycenter.com/0_placenta-previa_830.bc" target="_blank">Placenta Previa</a>. (For further information you may review my post entitled "<a href="http://veemar78.blogspot.com/2013/03/placenta-previa-alfaarmys-early-arrival.html" target="_blank">Placenta Previa: Alfa/Army's Early Arrival</a>").</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Endpoint: Pre-mature delivery via C-Section at the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/University-of-Pangasinan-Medical-Center/393461304101592" target="_blank">Pangasinan Medical Center</a>.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;">Whatever type of child-giving birth delivery you will undergo, only one thing is common: the pain is immaterial for as long as your child and your health as a mother is ensured.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Likewise, be sure to always have a good professional relationship with your doctor. Always be informed. Have a happy pregnancy and childbirth experience mommies...</span><br />

<i style="font-family: inherit; font-weight: bold;">Allergic rhinitis </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">according to MedScape and Medline Plus is an inflammation of the nasal membranes that is </span>characterized by sneezing, nasal congestion, nasal itching, and <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rhinorrhea" target="_blank">rhinorrhea</a>, or in any combination. These symptoms usually occur when one person inflicted with allergic rhinitis breathe in dust, animal dundee, pollen or even eat food that he/she may be allergic too as well. Apparently, while allergic rhinitis itself is non-life threatening, morbidity from the condition is significant. It is important to note that for some instances it may be accompanied with severe asthma or <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anaphylaxis" target="_blank">anaphylaxis</a>.</div>

<br />
It helps add moisture inside the nose to dissolve and soften thick or crusty mucus and provide relief for dry, crusted, irritated and inflamed nasal membranes.<br />
<br />
Unlike other nasal spray, Nasoclear maybe used for infants and young children who cannot blow their noses. Moreover, it doesn't need any prescription and can be bought over-the-counter (OTC).<br />

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b>PERSONAL NOTE</b></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Being born in the highlands of Baguio City, allergic rhinitis has been part of my growing up years. Even when I became a cadet, it has always been my agony. I have tried the old ways of </span><i style="font-family: inherit;">"pausok"</i><span style="font-family: inherit;"> and even the extreme thing: </span><i><span style="font-family: inherit;">eating cat meat (u</span>lk!)</i>. I have also tried about two (2) kinds of nasal spray (which I prefer not to expose what brand) but still a failure. Since then, I became reluctant in trying other nasal spray because it was already instilled in my mind that all nasal sprays are just the same.<br />

Until I met Nasoclear. This product was so timely I was able to use it already! With the cold drinks and a lot of ice cream I had last Friday (04 April) since it was my dear friend's birthday, I did catch A.R. once again. So there goes my clogged nose again. As per given in its dosage administration, I applied 2-4 sprays. Unlike other nasal spray, I did not feel any pain nor uncomfortable feeling. Surprisingly, I was able to sleep soundly during that night.<br />
<br />

</h2>
<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">OF BIDDING FAREWELL AND SURPRISES</span></b><br />
<b><br /></b>
It's an ordinary day when I arrived at my office last 25 March 2014. I sat on my table and began finishing the pile of work which I do not want to be stocked up once I leave for a new schooling..for a new assignment. Precipitously, my admin assistant Jam asked me about different buffet restaurants which I can recommend for her mother-in-law's birthday. So I gave her a list of my recommended buffet restaurants. At the end of the discussion, we both agreed to have the said supposed celebration at <a href="https://www.facebook.com/pages/Choice-Buffet/104361989650096" target="_blank">Choice Buffet</a> at Macapagal Avenue.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
At about 1100H same day, my boss texted me asking my whereabouts (I was roaming around the headquarters letting my clearance paper be signed by concerned offices). So I came back at the office. He asked me out for lunch together with his close mistah, who is actually our unit mate as well... So ok since its almost lunchtime I said yes. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Apparently, we were the first customers who arrived while the restaurant was not even fully prepared yet. Then suddenly the staff at the counter asked <span style="font-family: Courier New, Courier, monospace; font-style: italic;">"Ma'am, kayo po ba si Jaime, young nagpareserved for 13 people?" </span><span style="font-family: inherit;">I was quite astound and later on </span>realised, yeah, it was the same resturant Jam and I were talking a while ago and now there is a sudden reservation? Weird. But after a few minutes, I realized that it was a surprise lunch intended for me...</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few minutes later, everyone in the office arrived. A short talk was delivered by my boss while everyone was gladly smiling back at me..it was really hard to hold back my tears but I was known at my office as taut and stringent when it comes to work so <i style="font-family: 'Courier New', Courier, monospace;">pinanindigan ko na. </i><span style="font-family: inherit;">Afterwards, I did also give my message. It was really overwhelming I could cry... So here are some of the photos I took during the farewell lunch..</span><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Once again, to my bosses </span>and<span style="font-family: inherit;"> my researcher/analysts, thank you very much for all the memories, for being supportive and being patient with me.

<b><span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">SHORT RESTAURANT REVIEW</span></b><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b><br /></b></span>
Choice Buffet is located at Macapagal Avenue. It mainly caters Korean dishes. It is quite the same with Yaki Mix but with a little twist since it also offers shabu-shabu. Their current buffet rate is Php 499.00 during lunch and Php 550.00 for weekdays and Php 600.00 for weekends.<br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">It has been months since I haven't posted anything from this blog...since I hosted my last give away...since I signified to write a review for a brand of vitamins for babies. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">With that, I would like to sincerely apologize first to my <i>mommy friends</i> from <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheMommyAvenue" target="_blank">AMO</a> for being an absconder for months; second, to my <i>readers</i> for being absent for quite a while (which actually felt like years for me); third, to <i>Miss Mariz Lee-Ong</i> of <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Babypalooza.com.ph" target="_blank">Babypalooza Bazaar</a> for not following up my last give-away hosting; third to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/CeelinPH" target="_blank">Ceelin Plus</a> specifically to <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Unilab" target="_blank">Unilab Philippines</a> for not being able to release a review of the product last year; fourth, to <i>myself</i>, for becoming stagnant and unproductive. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q7yf76tP5v0/UykzX-Dy5cI/AAAAAAAACI8/Kk4M8xIm8HQ/s1600/109861544.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><span style="font-family: inherit;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-q7yf76tP5v0/UykzX-Dy5cI/AAAAAAAACI8/Kk4M8xIm8HQ/s1600/109861544.jpg" height="409" width="640" /></span></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/photo/sorry-office-desk-high-res-stock-photography/109861544#" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Photo Source</span></a></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">In as much as I would like to elucidate what happened behind my absence, I just can't. And again, I am sorry... But for those months I wasn't blogging were the months that I felt like a total bum and more stressed. Gradually I shall be posting again...as soon as I move to a new "home". </span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I simply missed everyone.</span></div>

Accordingly, </span>dying<span style="font-family: inherit;"> the 90s, Toyang was one of the songs that defined our generation. Its lyrics speak of simplicity of life, playfulness and young love. After more that a decade, the generation that identified Toyang are now parents wishing to give the best for their young ones. With toys that encourage interaction between parent and child, it is ensured that baby does not just play, but also get to spend quality time with their parents. With ToYoung, generations come together to enjoy what makes them happy the most - playing with family time.</span></div>

Tiger and Jack is from Habi ng Buhay Marketing. Accordingly, last August 1, 2009, the first "apo" (grandchild) in the owner's family was born, the owner's first niece. It was also the day President Corazon Aquino died. It was a day of profound joy and deepest sadness. Tiger and Jacks' proprietor created and printed on yellow shirts given to family and friends, the word "LABAN" (fight) using petals - Pres. Cory loved to paint flowers. It was a tribute to the beloved President of her generation, a reminder to continue her fight for our country's redemption and for the future.<br>
<br>
Meanwhile, the LABAN shirt started a patriotic teen shirt collection that gave birth to Journey as a company. Journey started supplying casual wear for kids under a department store's label, and in 2011 - the year the second "apo", (the owner's first nephew) was born - they debuted their own line of kids' clothing. In 2013, Journey launched Tiger & Jack offering 4-10- year-old boys' and girls' clothes that are stylish, functional but easy on mommies' budget.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have been a fan of baby bazaars since day one that I conceived my firstborn E. One of the youngest bazaar that I have been a fan of is the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Babypalooza.com.ph" target="_blank">Babypalooza Bazaar</a>. I remember vividly how I did spend my day at the very first Babypalooza Bazaar last 2012 (you may check out my post about it: <a href="http://veemar78.blogspot.com/2012/12/babypalooza-bazaar-2012.html" target="_blank">Babypalooza Bazaar 2012</a>). Too bad I was not able to attend the second one, which was held last February of this year, because I was still recuperating from my CS and still maximising my time staying in the province with my then newborn A. Oh well, I did not miss the 3rd one! Here is my share of story for the 3rd Babypalooza Bazaar:</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
The month of October has been well known as <a href="http://www.icanservefoundation.org/" target="_blank">Breast Cancer Awareness</a> month. For many years now, <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breast_cancer" target="_blank">Breast Cancer</a> has been alleviated, prevented and treated at early detection because of several Breast Cancer advocacies. Nonetheless, another advocacy for the month of October has not yet been that known in the country, which is the <a href="http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/sudden-infant-death-syndrome/DS00145" target="_blank">Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS)</a> Awareness Month. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As a woman, I have never been aware to this kind of advocacy not until I became a mother. I heard and have read stories of babies sleeping and never waking up, which made me more wary when my firstborn E arrived. Thanks to my mommy friends from the <a href="https://www.facebook.com/TheMommyAvenue" target="_blank">The Mommy Avenue</a> who have been my online advisers and to <a href="http://www.halophilippines.com/" target="_blank">Halo Philippines</a> for advocating <a href="http://www.caringforkids.cps.ca/handouts/safe_sleep_for_babies" target="_blank">safe sleep for babies</a> and extending such here in the Philippines.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>What is SIDS?</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to the <a href="http://www.cdc.gov/" target="_blank">Centers for Disease Control and Prevention</a>, Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS) is defined as the sudden death of an infant less than one year of age that cannot be explained. Accordingly, it is the leading cause of death among infants ages 1-12 months. SIDS is a type of Sudden Unexpected Infant Death: suffocation, asphyxia, entrapment, infection, ingestions, metabolic diseases, cardiac arrhythmia, traumas (accidental or non-accidental) or SIDS. In the Philippines alone, there were recorded 172,483 extrapolated incidents of SIDS, making us second in the Southeast Asia Region being next to Indonesia as per <a href="http://www.rightdiagnosis.com/s/sids/stats-country.htm#extrapwarning" target="_blank">The Right Diagnosis</a> have monitored. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u>Possible Causes</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><u><br></u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
According to studies of the <a href="http://www.healthcommunities.com/sudden-infant-death-syndrome/children/causes-of-sids.shtml" target="_blank">Remedy's Health Communities</a>, SIDS risk factors include:<br>
<br>
<ul>
<li><i><u>Stomach or side sleeping</u></i> - SIDS occur more on babies who do sleep on their stomachs. Likewise, because babies can roll over to their stomachs, babies put down on their sides also are at higher risk. Because of this, doctors place an important emphasis on back sleeping.</li>
<li><u style="font-style: italic;">Soft sleep surfaces and loose bedding</u> - water bed, sofas, pillows, plush toys and blankets are at higher risk for SIDS and infant suffocation. <a href="http://kidshealth.org/parent/general/sleep/cosleeping.html" target="_blank">Co-sleeping</a> is a related risk factor.</li>
<li><i><u>Excessive warmth</u></i> - babies who sleep with many layers of clothing and those who sleep in overheated rooms are also at higher risk for SIDS.</li>
<li><u style="font-style: italic;">Smoking during pregnancy and secondhand smoke</u> - Infants whose mothers smoke during their pregnancy are three times more likely to experience SIDS. </li>
<li><u style="font-style: italic;">Alcohol and drug use</u> - Similar to smoking, these activities also make the baby susceptible to SIDS.</li>
<li><u style="font-style: italic;">Teenage Births</u> - SIDS often occur in babies born to teenage mothers than in babies born to older women. </li></ul></div></div><a href="http://veemar78.blogspot.com/2013/10/product-review-halo-sleepsack-wearable.html#more">Read more »</a>Anonymoushttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03131524523615862328noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4230582373339985768.post-34207630417896018042013-10-23T15:28:00.002+08:002013-10-23T15:28:16.733+08:00Eulogy for Daddy Sophie...From Mommy Sophie...<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

Being in the military and being a military wife in one equates to a tedious and adventurous life. But this also equates to sleepless nights once our respective husbands go on deployment...Here was the last message my dear friend Mommy Sophie (LTJG Aemy Leslie Campos-Damian) read, the night before Daddy Sophie (1LT FRANCIS DAMIAN PA) was buried... </div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<i>Note: This letter/message was posted with permission...</i></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
"I am amazed with how my husband has touched many lives while
he was still alive. Pero mas nakakataba ng puso na higit na maraming na-inspire
kahit sa kanyang pagkawala.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
”Dadi,
nasa frontpage tayo.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
· Nais ko pong
kunin ang pagkakataong ito upang sabihin ang matagal na dapat naming sinabi ni
Chikko.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
To Mommy Sol and Daddy Bing, Mama and Papa, SORRY.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Chikko and
I are sincerely sorry for not being able to begin our journey with you. We
stepped on to another significant path without your knowledge and consent. We
know we caught you by surprise and we could not be more grateful for the
unconditional love you’ve given us. Without ifs and buts, you accepted and
understood our decisions. You showed us the kind of parenting we wish to pass
on to our dear Cheeky - the kind that is patient, just, keeps no record of
wrongs, always protects, trusts, hopes, and perseveres. You taught us that love
prospers when one forgives.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
· Dear
friends, Chikko and Chick… our not-so-ordinary love story is a tale to be told…
a story that in time, Cheeky will come to understand. Our love story will make you laugh; it will
make you cry. It will make you believe that no matter how you run away, the
Lord will always lead you to the one He has prepared for you. With the
incomparable happiness Chikko has given me, our love will always be worth all
the pain.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
· Much has
been said about the heroism of Chikko and of how amazing he is as a brave
warrior for the country. But to me and Cheeky, he will always be “Dadi Sophie.”
I have realized that more than the grief of losing him, there is also the
searing pain brought by the tug of familiarity and the what-could’ve-beens.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mamimiss
ko ‘yung morning messages niya na: “How is my Momi and Cheeky?” Pag low morale
ako, may mga hirit siyang “Okay lang ‘yan Momi, basta may pumapasok pa sa ATM”
o ‘yung “Life is already hard, Momi, why make it harder.” Francis was like
that… alam niya kung paano kami patatawanin at patatahanin. Nung binyag ni
Sophie, he surprised us when he arrived a day earlier than his supposed flight.
When I opened the door, andun na siya sa labas ng bahay with his usual charming
smoulder.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Mabibilang
man sa mga daliri ko ang mga pagkakataong nagkasama sila ni Sophie, Chikko made
sure every moment was memorable. Bago pa man siya makagraduate sa Airborne
Course niya, gustong-gusto na niya magpadeploy sa Zamboanga. At isa sa mga
dahilan ay kami ni Sophie. Higit sa pagtupad ng kanyang tungkulin bilang kawal
ng bayan, pinanindigan niya ang pagiging Dadi kay Sophie. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Upon
landing in EAAB, he said, “Momi, san kayo? Makita ko man lang sandali ang Momi
ko at ang Baby Girl ko. Diyan na lang sa NavForWem, before ako pumunta sa TCP
ng LRB. Wag sa bahay kasi nakafull battle gear na ako. Pwede dalhin mo lang
sandali ang baby girl, Momi? Kung hindi, kahit ikaw na lang momi ang makita ko
bago madeploy. Naks, parang pelikula lang.”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
· I knew in my
heart that Chikko would have been the best father. He would’ve introduced our
God to her, carried Sophie around whenever he had the chance, taken photos of
her as she grows, given her the world, taught her how to play a sport or a
musical instrument, accompanied her on her first day of class and picked her up
from school every day; napahirapan pa sana niya ang mga magtatangkang manligaw
sa baby girl namin; he would’ve come up the stage every graduation day. Chikko
would’ve walked her down the aisle, kissed her cheeks, and gave her his blessing;
he would’ve watched our grandchildren grow up to be as beautiful as her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
· When his
battle bag was handed over to me, I could not stop myself from crying. I saw
three (3) precious items in it:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- First, his
phone, ang wallpaper ay kami ni Cheeky. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- Second,
Sophie’s bib na ninakaw niya. Hindi ko napansing kinuha niya pala ‘yun during
our visit to Cheeky’s pedia for her vaccination. Walang laba yung bib puno pa
ng suka ni Cheeky, yun ang inaamoy nya to remind him of our little girl and he
carries it everwhere he goes.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
- Lastly, I
found a book about being a “Father to a Daughter,” life lessons on raising a
girl. I could imagine my husband reading through the book during his free time,
understanding every advice there was in it, longing for a chance to apply every
single piece that it said.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I turned to a page which stated that the five (5) keys to
raising a girl are:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
1. Always be
involved in her life.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
2. Respect and
honor her mom.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
3. Treasure every moment
with her.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
4. Pray for her
everyday.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
In the
span of time that he was with us, Chikko did all of the above. The last one
struck me the most… it said:<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
5. Be her hero.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Francis
may not be physically present anymore to defend and protect our baby girl; to
give her a comforting hug or kiss whenever she’s afraid; and to sing her a
lullaby until she falls asleep. But I am confident that he will always be there
for our baby, guiding her from above.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He is not just
the country’s hero… he is our daughter’s hero; he is and will always be my
hero.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
· I have to
admit. I am overwhelmed by this challenge. Ang huling for compliance ko lang
kasi kay Chikko ay mejas na Biofresh o Burlington, tapos foot powder at
Fungisol. Ngayon, I am not just Momi Sophie, I have to be Dadi Sophie as well.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Pero
pangako ko sa’yo dadi, I will raise Sophie the way we wanted her to be. I will
make sure that your dream for our baby Sophie will be fulfilled. I promise that
she will know you better day by day. When the time comes, she will proudly tell
the world that she is our daughter and that 1LT. FRANCIS G. DAMIAN of the
Philippine Army, a hero of the Filipino nation, is her father.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
· I would like
to take this chance to thank everyone who condoled with us in this moment of
grief. Thank you for all your concern and sympathies. The coming days will be
hard. While Chikko victoriously won in his fight, it is now our time to face
another battle - that of letting go and beginning a new journey. Armed with
faith and prayers, we will get by.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
· As I end
this, allow me to share with you a few lines from the last song dadi Sophie
sang to me…<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
“I am all
alone without you. My days are dark without the glimpse of you. But now that
you came into my life, I feel complete. The flowers bloom, my morning shines,
and I can see…”<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
He may not
be here anymore, but his reassuring voice will always be in my mind. He will
always complete the song of my heart.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I love you
dadi, I will always do… till we meet again."<o:p></o:p></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
When I was still a cadet, one of our perks is being able to travel around the country and if lucky enough, to travel abroad. This never changed when I already joined the officer corps. Some of the places I've been aside from my home province <u><a href="http://www.pangasinan.org/" target="_blank">Pangasinan</a></u> and other areas in Luzon include <a href="http://www.davaocity.gov.ph/" target="_blank">Davao City</a>, <a href="http://www.ecomval.gov.ph/comvalg/index.php" target="_blank">Compostela Valley</a>, <a href="http://www.cebucity.gov.ph/" target="_blank">Cebu</a>, <a href="http://www.zamboanga.gov.ph/" target="_blank">Zamboanga</a>, <a href="http://www.bukidnon.gov.ph/home/index.php" target="_blank">Bukidnon</a>, <a href="http://bicol.da.gov.ph/Statistics/regional_profile.html" target="_blank">Bicol Region</a>, <a href="http://www.palawan.com/" target="_blank">Palawan</a> and <a href="http://www.cagayandeoro.gov.ph/" target="_blank">Cagayan De Oro</a>. More so, having a husband who loves to travel, I also found myself loving to be always on the go. Of course aside from having a happy feet and interest in knowing more of the different scenic views in our country, I believe all of you would agree that traveling outside the Philippines is also included in your bucket list. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>Travel List</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For a mother like me, I would love to bring my children to the famous <a href="http://park.hongkongdisneyland.com/hkdl/en_US/home/home?name=HomePage" target="_blank">HK Disneyland</a>, <a href="http://www.legoland.com.my/" target="_blank">Malaysia Legoland</a> and <a href="http://www.petronastwintowers.com.my/" target="_blank">KL Petronas Towers</a>, spending the day with the elephants of <a href="http://www.visitkanchanaburi.com/" target="_blank">Kachanaburi</a> in Thailand, visiting various parks and rich culture of Bali, Indonesia and <a href="http://www.rwsentosa.com/Homepage/ThingsToDo/UniversalStudiosSingapore" target="_blank">Singapore's Universal Studios</a>. I've listed down Asian countries first; visa-free countries. Hopefully, this list will be accomplished and be able to share it with you. But for the meantime, I would like to share to you my 2 days 2 nights stay in HK.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br>
<b><i>Pre-Departure</i></b><br>
<b><i><br></i></b>
Of course before leaving, you must have a quick check list. So here was mine:<br>
- Passport (This must be updated of course. Mall annexes are already provided for new passport applicants.)<br>
- Visa (If and only if you will be visiting a visa country i.e. US, Australia, Japan.)<br>
- Plane Tickets (Of course for obvious reasons.)<br>
- Identification Cards (Aside from passport, it's better to bring some of your IDs i.e. driver's license, postal ID.)<br>
- Traveling Bag (The weight/size depends on how many days will you be staying in the area.)<br>
- Wardrobe (Check first what's the season of the country you are visiting. You can't wear summer dresses in a cold weather can you?)<br>
- Toiletries (I know women can't live without their <i>kikay </i>kit.)<br>
- Small Blanket (You will need this while on the plane.)<br>
- Medicines (If you have maintenance, be sure to bring it.)<br>
- Of course, POCKET MONEY or your CARD. You should also find out the currency exchange.<br>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i>HK Day 1</i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<b><i><br></i></b></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This was an unplanned short vacation and unwinding/bonding session with my two favorite aunts (my mother's sisters). So here was our itinerary for day 1:<br>
<br>
0700H - Our departure from the Philippines.<br>
<br>
0915H - We arrived at HK Airport. Luckily I chose the right airlines (<a href="https://www.tigerair.com/ph/en/" target="_blank">Tiger Airways</a>) so no delays occurred to and from Clark Airport. Piece of advice, if you will be travelling from Manila, you may choose Manila based airports. If you will be coming from Northern Luzon or Central Luzon area, Clark airport is nearer.<br>
<br>
<i>(Note: Prepare Php1620.00 worth of travel tax per person.)</i><br>
<i><br></i>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b8-KgNEtCWc/UlS9xC4NqOI/AAAAAAAAB-k/SpD6cE_UIq4/s1600/hk1.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="473" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-b8-KgNEtCWc/UlS9xC4NqOI/AAAAAAAAB-k/SpD6cE_UIq4/s640/hk1.png" width="640"></a></div>
<br>
Upon arriving at the airport, we bought a 3-day tourist pass. We chose the Airport Express Travel Pass worth HK$300 (includes HK$50 refundable deposit). It is a less hassle type of pass which allowed us to enjoy unlimited travel on MTR, Light Rail and MTR Bus. The good thing is, you get to pay just what you have spent during your stay in HK. At the end of your trip, you return your tourist pass and are able to refund the deposit and the remaining balance of your card. <i>Sulit </i>right?<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N8-vYb7qWwU/UmNScGH53zI/AAAAAAAACDs/IiXCQU5KUeI/s1600/hk6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="258" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-N8-vYb7qWwU/UmNScGH53zI/AAAAAAAACDs/IiXCQU5KUeI/s400/hk6.jpg" width="400"></a></div>
<br>
We then rode the train and travelled from the Airport Station to Kowloon. From Kowloon Station, we took a cab <i>(from Kowloon Station to Argylle Street, it costed us HK$45) </i>to enroute to our hotel at Mongkok.<br>
<br></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
1000H - I was able to finally locate our hotel in Mongkok. We particularly stayed at <a href="http://www.hkbudgethostel.com/eng-index.htm" target="_blank">Hongkong Budget Hostel</a>, a budget hostel for travellers. We paid HK$430 per day. We stayed for 2 days and 2 nights so that makes HK$860 in all. Take note, the room we got was good for three people with personal bathroom.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lsUca3BRN4I/UmKT0jdA2kI/AAAAAAAAB_k/D1ZyBiIr0oU/s1600/room.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-lsUca3BRN4I/UmKT0jdA2kI/AAAAAAAAB_k/D1ZyBiIr0oU/s320/room.jpg" width="320"></a></div>
<br>
After settling our things, we then had our brunch then went back to the hotel to rest.<br>
<br>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br>
1300H - We went to <a href="http://www.avenueofstars.com.hk/eng/home.asp" target="_blank">Avenue of the Stars</a> and had a non-stop walking in the area. Using MTR cards we bought, we rode a train from Mongkok to MTR East Tsim Sha Tsui and walk through Exit J.<br>
<br>

<br>
1600H - We left Boulevard of the Stars and went back to Mongkok. We went back to the hostel to rest and freshen up.<br>
<br>
1700H - My aunts and I went down the hostel and had our dinner at a nearby noodle house. Technically speaking, the whole day was a noodle day. The serving was really big that two persons could share a bowl of noodles. Surprisingly, as I have observed the people, even the ladies, they really can consume the whole of it!<br>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>Aside from numerous noodle houses, what I also loved was their "street foods." Comparably, our street foods here in the Philippines are literally mobile and are located in the streets. What I liked about HK street foods is that they do have their own stall and you really have a lot of choices. You also get to see how the dimsum are made. This actually became our favorite merienda during our stay in HK. And..it was just below our hostel!</i></td></tr>

1900H - Aunt Sally, Aunt Fe and I went directly to <a href="http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/recon" target="_blank">recon</a> the <a href="http://www.ladies-market.hk/" target="_blank">Ladies Market</a>. For shopping aficionados, which is closely similar to our very own <a href="http://fil.wikipilipinas.org/index.php?title=Divisoria" target="_blank">Divisoria</a>, where a lot of items can be found particularly a la mode clothing, bags, shoes, accessories etc. It was a long street market place where different races and culture meet: Filipinos, Chinese, Koreans, Americans, English, name it!<br>
<br>
My aunts decided to shop that night so our second and last night in HK will be allotted for another walking escapade in the other shopping areas of Mongkok. We were able to purchase a lot of souvenir items for <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pasalubong" target="_blank">pasalubong</a>: </i>t-shirts, polo, shoes, skirts, display items, wallet, bags, and of course, food stuff! I loved HK <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hong_Kong-style_milk_tea" target="_blank">naicha</a>! I am not a tea connoisseur but I can attest that HK naicha is the best! With this, I ended up buying BOXES of milk tea. Aside from milk tea, my little prince E loved HK <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misua" target="_blank">misua</a> so I also bought a lot of it.<br>
<br>
At about 2200H, we went back to our place and rested.<br>
<br>
<b><i><br></i></b>
<b><i>HK Day 2</i></b><br>
<b><i><br></i></b>
0800H - We went to breakfast bakery and had our breakfast. We bought a lot of bread that day. we were also able to eat rice for breakfast (can't stay away with our staple food) and of course, 2 cups of hot naicha.<br>
<br>
0900H - We went back to the hostel to freshen up then left to continue our second day of tour. Our mission: To be able to visit Disneyland, to take a cable ride to one of the highest peak in HK and to see the largest sitting Buddha.<br>
<br>
<u>First Stop: <b>DISNEYLAND</b></u><br>
<u><br></u>
We rode a train from Mongkok to Lai King Station. The second day was a lot of rides. We then transferred to Tung Chung Line still at Lai King Station. From Lai King Station Tung Chung Line, we reached Sunny Bay Station then once again transferred to (finally) Disneyland Resort Line (you will be able to clearly differentiate Disneyland Train because of its peculiar appearance).<br>

<u><br></u>From Disneyland, take the MTR Disneyland back to Sunny Bay Station. In Sunny Bay Station, transfer back to Tung Chung Line then unload at Tung Chung Station.

There are three types of cabin you can choose from: Standard, Crystal and Private Cabins. All cabins look similar with small different features. For standard (costs HK$135 per head), you get to have 360 degrees view; for crystal clear cabin (costs HK$213 per head) you get to see even the view below the cabin, which is not really advisable for those who has fear of heights like me; and, the private cabin on the other hand comes with a package (the prices I posted are for adults).<br>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Years back when I was still a cadet, I wrote an article bearing the same title as this blog post :"<b><i>One Minute Prayer</i></b>." The content behind that article was my late mistah, <a href="http://www.inquirer.net/specialreports/mindandbody/healthbeat/view.php?db=1&article=20071112-100337&pageID=4" target="_blank">Cadet First Class Reenan Ferrer</a>. It was a post written out of sadness and feeling of loss of a good friend and brother. Reenan suffered from Meningitis which eventually led to respiratory infection.<br />

Last week, September 19, was another heartbraking day for our Class. Another life turned to dust as my mistah, 1LT Kristopher John Rama PA died defending peace in Zamboanga City. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<b>Proud.</b><br />
<br />
It makes me swollen with pride to hear success stories of my classmates who are deployed in far flung areas in the country combating insurgency and contributing to the peace of our motherland. It also makes me proud how the Filipino people are now being enlightened to the current situation in the country and not easily being affected by the various propaganda. The Filipinos now are wiser.<br />
<br />
<b>Sad.</b><br />
<br />
"It is not everyday that we are snappy." That is my motto when I became an active officer of the AFP. Not all ideas may be accepted but keep sharing; not all operations will easily be won but keep going; and, the saddest part, not all soldiers (officers and enlisted personnel) that will be sent to battle will come back alive but for the ones left, keep on fighting.<br />
<br />
Mistah, bok...you will be remembered.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
To all my fallen mistahs who have sacrificed their lives for the Filipinos to be safe, 2LT Domingo PA, 2LT Quibuyen, 2LT Tutanes and now 1LT Rama, may your souls find happiness.</div>
