Measles Vaccine

I did take a halfday leave of absence today to bring Maegan to our health center for her Measles vaccine shot. I was very reluctant at first since she feels hot earlier today, however the health worker told me to just go there and personally ask the nurse.

So of course I went there, backed with all the necessary baby things and my superficial courage to be the one to hold her while they are injecting on her. She was quite a good girl today, she slept while waiting in line for almost 2 hours. When we were about to be called coincidentally that was also the time she woke up. Sorry Maegan, but we really have to have this vaccine. According to the nurse, the vaccine wont cause fever to children. I warned her that I am afraid of needles and that I close my eyes while holding my baby, another health worker helped me along. Huh! what an experience, it seems like the first time every time. Meagan cried just when the nurse pulled out the needle. Yepey! my daughter was braver than me. I hold my breath the whole time. Haha.

I went home and Maegan was already playing with her older sister Maggie. I worked in the afternoon. Before going home, Mawe and I dropped by at Pacific Mall to buy my children needs. Pampers Comfort, Cerelac and the likes. Now my loved children and husband are already sleeping. I will also sleep a bit.

Day 4: Life Lessons

Since yesterday I was quite amused with my encounter with my High School Batch. I got my self into reflection when one of my batch mates told me that I just kept on frowning way back then. That got a sigh from; way back then, I have this feeling that when I'm happy I would surely pay later on and I will be facing a bigger problem. That thought stop me to enjoy life, enjoy my youth. Now that I am older, learned how to face life, I come to pity my self. What a pity I got my self into. . So sad.

I made a decision to double the hardwork in making my own family have understanding. We may not have everything but we have everyone....

Day 2: What is Stick Rite

I am in the middle of preparing for an activity which will be happening tomorrow. Part of my preparation is to make sure we would recognize everyone. I went to the mall and started looking for sticker for names with the name "Stick Rite". By the time I approached the saleslady, she asked me what exactly is Stick Rite.

I told her, "Stick Rite" is a brand of a sticker to be used for labeling. It usually comes in different sizes and designs. The color is usually in the shade of white.

Then finally, she guided me along rows of tiny boxes. There! was so relieved. I realized though that I am still weak at creatively describing something. Improving though.

Word for the Day is Significance.

The word means the importance that can be found in events and or something that will be presented to people. The answer to the question "Is it worthy of my attention". Significance is something that I should bear in mind every time we face customers for them to be satisfied.

Day 1: What is Expatriate

My co worker asked me yesterday afternoon while she was doing a telephone survey; "What is expat". I was so happy to hear such question, you might be wondering why. Why? It's because, I said to myself "I'm not alone", when I first encountered such word I was bewildered.

Expats or Expatriate, I told her, they are the foreigners working here in the Philippines. I originally confined this definition to high ranking foreigners working here in our Country. I later realized that the word pertains to any foreigners irregardless of position they are holding, they might even be here for training. Expats are usually assigned here in the Philippines from their Mother Company; from what I noticed there are plenty of them in an Economic Zones wherein there are Manufacturing firms. As I browsed Merriam Webster now, the adjective definition of Expatriate is living in a foreign land. This would also mean that those who are here for schooling are also expat.

I really love my day one for my goal Learning at 30.

Learning at 30

I just got back from my self imposed leave from writing.

With this comeback, I have decided to start Learning at 30.
Here are my list for this decision;
1) Start Reading Dictionary and commit to memorize 1 word a day
    (Spelling, meaning and pronounciation)
2) Creatively define something; 1 thing in a day.

You might start wondering why I came to this point. Well, now that I am
30 I felt like I am lost in my own world. Work, kids, husband and home;
These are the things that I only know, and I felt like lost in this fast
changing world. I would also want to teach my children things which a
mother should do.

I will start today and now.

From this day on, www.merriam-webster.com will be very helpful
in my learning process.
