It's the time of the year when the weather gets extremely crazy and my body gives up to sickness. Yes, I've been down with the flu last week and still recuperating. Presently, I'm coughing like there's no tomorrow and my ribs ache when I cough argh! My throat also aches though I kindly love how sexy my husky voice is, hahaha!

Wearing a face mask in the car and other closed spaces is a must!

Oh gee, how fast time flies. Ralph is finally done with the First Quarter of his Grade 7 studies in Philippine Science High School. He just had his first-ever "perio" (how the Pisay kids address the periodical exams) in the first week of August and, so far, the results are good. His score in Math, the subject he's worried the most, is alright. In fact, he received 2.25 which is a notch higher than the passing grade.

Yes, Rap had trouble with Math in Pisay. It is in this subject that he experienced his first failing mark in a quiz which explains why he was so anxious of getting a failing grade.

Getting everything ready for a new baby is no small task. The job is made even tougher if it is your first baby. You have no idea what to expect and what you might need. Most baby books will give you an idea of what you need to pack in your hospital bag, and safety tips on how to make your home ready for your new arrival, but there is limited information on what you actually need once you get your little bundle home. Retailers are the first to cash in on your inexperience as parents, and you name it, there is a product for it.

Speak to friends and relatives that have already had babies for advice on what is actually necessary. The more recently they have become parents the better, as older family members will likely be unaware of new products that could make your life much easier as you adapt to life with your new addition. There are some great items on the market that combine to do the job of more than one. For example a high chair that converts into a small table and chair for toddlers, or a cot that turns into a small single bed. These items will save you money in the long run as you will not have to replace them after the first year.
