My Super Daughter

The best part of my life is my daughter. She gives me strength and motivates me to do better everyday. She wakes me up every morning with her amazing smile that gives me the courage to face the challenges of life everyday. She makes me a better person and pushes me to be a better mother and a better individual altogether.

I have never known I could care about anyone or anything in this world more than I care about myself. She is the super girl in my life because her smile can melt my heart and I never want to see her in pain, and that gives me the feeling that I need to be a Super person so I can protect her and give her everything that she needs.

Whenever I am crying and she sees me crying, she tells me “Its ok mommy, don’t cry”. She kisses me in the sweetest way that makes me feel like she’s kissing all my troubles away. She is everything in my life, and everything in my life is happening because of her. She is my super hero, as much of a cliche as that may sound, but she is. I know tomorrow everything will be ok, because she’s here.

I would like to think that I am the one teaching her about life, but she has taught me about life and unconditional love more than anyone has ever taught me, and that makes her the most important part of my life.

This is her, my super girl.



And this is me and My Super Daughter just enjoying an afternoon together



Make your Super One Popular by Entering the Super One Contest Courtesy of Globe - Super One Feature

Taking Action - WD

Western Digital Philippines - Facebook Fan Page

I am a firm believer of the idea that IF YOU WANT SOMETHING TO HAPPEN, YOU HAVE TO MAKE IT HAPPEN. This goes to the thought that if you want to see results you have to look for ways to get the results.

I have been a little bothered by the Western Digital Philippines - Facebook Fan Page, because the administrators seem to have vanished into thin air. They do not update the page anymore, they do not answer inquiries, and they left a contest hanging without any winner announcements.

All of its fans have been patient with waiting for the result which should have been announced on July 15, 2010 or even before that, we have patiently inquired and re-inquired about the winners but no one seems to be reading our messages because no one is answering. I am concerned NOT because I think I won, but because they made a commitment to their fans that they will give away prizes to a contest that they held, and we as the contestants trusted that they will deliver. But until today, No response.

So I took my own actions, I did not know what else to do:

I hope this will be able to help all of us who have been waiting to get the results we wanted from Western Digital Philippines Facebook Fan Page.

I am ANDROID

Besides WANTING and LOVING the Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica Android Phone because of its 3.2 Inch Screen that has a Resolution of 320 x 480 Pixels, its 180 MB internal Storage which can be expanded to 32 GB, its WiFi Capability and its 3.15 Megapixel with Autofocus Camera, I deserve the Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica Android Phone because I need it, I haven’t had a decently working gorgeous phone since year 2006 and my husband and I have reserved all our funds to give a healthy and fun life to our daughter.

Here are the Pictures of the Phone I am currently using which doesn’t even have a working camera anymore because when I had it repaired when it was bricked, the man who repaired my phone took the device that makes the camera work :( They also lost the joystick button of the phone. It now takes 5 minutes to boot and too often the screen would go haywire and I won’t be able to use it unless i turn it off for 30 minutes, and the memory card slot is broken, no more memory card and can never have a new one. This phone is really dead!



Winning the Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica Android Phone will satisfy my craving for new technology gadgets for years and years to come and I would not rest until I get my hands on this 3.5G smartphone that offers a QUAD-BAND GSM which will be so handy during the times that my daughter and I will be able to visit my husband in Singapore, so that we can stay connected to the people we love in the Philippines no matter where we go.

And oh the touchscreen capability of this Android phone is to die for, its making me drool just reading about it, imagine what it would do to me if I get it, and the Camera is such an added bonus because I love taking pictures of my daughter, whatever the season, whatever the reason, and having such a technologically advanced phone with a built in 3.15 Megapixel Camera with Autofocus will just make life so much easier for me as a mom who brings tons of things for her daughter and barely has enough room for my own stuff in my bag. Having this handy Android Phone will surely make my life so much easier and will keep me connected and in touch wherever I go.

Where can I win this marvelous phone you ask? here is where: http://www.jehzlau-concepts.com/2010/05/im-giving-away-an-android-phone.html

Here is a picture of my daughter begging for the Samsung i5700 Galaxy Spica Android phone to give to her mommy as a gift for all her hard work and great job in raising such a marvelous little girl:



Please take pity on a woman who can’t afford to buy a gorgeous and perfectly working phone because of wanting to provide food, shelter and the most expensive commodity of all — electricity to her daughter?

A Better Mother

Ever since my husband, Noel, left to work in Singapore, I have changed. I used to be very attached to my daughter, Nike, and I was very playful. But after Noel left, I have been depressed for a while, I was not able to take very good care of Nike.

When Noel was still in the Philippines with me and Nike, she was used to receiving tons of attention from me and her dad, we’d go out for a short walk everyday and take pictures while we were out, it didn’t matter if there weren’t any occasion, I’d take tons of pictures of her and admire her. We would schedule a weekend play time for Nike either in Alabang Town Center or in Active Fun and I would be so excited to spend hours and hours of playtime with her and not get tired of her laughter. As hard as it is to admit, since Noel left, I have been absent, I no longer take Nike to a daily stroll or bike ride outside, I rarely take pictures of her, and I barely take notice of her even when she is just sitting beside me at home, not only did she lose the presence of her dad, but she also lost the attention of her mom. I drowned myself in the depressing thought that my husband isn’t here and that I am not happy. I forgot that my daughter is probably also very sad that her daddy is not here. Now when I look at her I realize my mistakes. The six months that it took me to realize what my depression is doing to may daughter, made her a completely different child. She is now more selfish and would not share her toys to anyone, I would often catch her picking a fight with her cousin Kian trying to take Kian’s toys from him and would cry so loud and hysterically when she does not get her way. She has also become hard headed and would not listen to anything I say, but the most difficult thing for me to realize is how much self confidence she lost in that six months. And I have no one else to blame but myself and my emotional absence.

Since I started to realize the emotional stress that I am causing my daughter, I slowly started trying to regain my emotional presence in her life. When I am working on my computer and she approaches me, I try make sure to take a time off to talk to her, hold her in my arms and ask her if she needs anything. I also re-started to teach her to recognize the alphabet and numbers. I have also started reading to her again every night. We are having slow progress as of the moment, but I am already seeing a huge difference in her, she is now a little more giving and instead of picking fights with her cousin, would just kiss him instead. We are still having a bit of trouble with her obedience, but we are definitely making progress. I have also seen a lot of changes in myself too, although they are bits of progress, I am less depressed now and more appreciative of her. I think I have also started to fall in love with her more again. I am committed to making this change in my life for the sake of my daughter, and I am hoping that this commitment will help me succeed in making myself and my daughter a better person in the months and even years to come.

on winning and losing

I just won another facebook contest today. The first contest I won was via Johnson’s Body Care Ph that gave me PhP500 Gift Certificate from Bayo. Today I got news from workabroad.ph that I won PhP500 Gift Certificate from National bookstore from workabroads facebook contest, and the feeling is just exhilarating. Even if it was just a small amount, the feeling of winning gives us a high that makes our day. Winning things makes you more confident, gives you the hope that you can win more and more and more.

The other day I was not chosen from Cebu Pacifics Photo Contest, that was the first of five winners chosen, I decided I do not want to keep trying, I entered the contest when it was still very new and only a few people submitted their photos, I believe I was one of the first 200 people to submit the photos, but when I wasn’t chosen the first week, I thought, what are the odds that I will be chosen the next. When we lose we get this feeling of hopelessness and defeat, and we tend to just give up.

These are normal emotions to experience during these times, when you win, you celebrate and you want to win some more, when you lose, you feel hopeless and want to crawl to a corner and never try again. But I’m glad I didn’t hide away and mope when I didn’t get chosen for the Cebu Pacific contest, I encouraged myself to win other things so that the loss of one thing would become so petty its laughable.

The same should be the attitude towards life, when you lose a battle, we should learn to fight more, fight harder and fight smarter. That way the lost battle will not just be a lost battle but a lesson learned.

Why Elianto: For beautifully protected skin

I am a Face Powder, Blush and Lip Gloss kind of girl, and I find it really hard to find a make-up that will suit my taste and will be suitable for my skin color, and discoloration for that matter.

I have had problems with my face color since I can remember, and don’t get me talking about the rest of my body. It is embarrassingly uneven in tone, there are patches of dark brown and light brown all over my body and it is also evident in some parts of my face.



When I saw the Elianto Brightening touch in the Elianto online Catalogue, I have been intrigued and excited to try it. The Brightening touch tube is a liquid cream that covers uneven spots on your face, including those dark eyebags, and the brightening touch will make your face look evenly bright and fabulous.

The next time I go to the mall, I will make sure to buy one of these lovely products because not only will it come in handy it comes with a color that I love for my skinEven though people say I have fair skin, I am most comfortable with dark colored make-ups and foundations and I’m happy to see that Elianto Brightening touch has a darker cream that is suitable for my liking.

And one more product that I would love to try is the Elianto Oil Free Liquid Foundation with SPF 15. Don’t get me started on why. Well I will tell you even if you don’t ask, First, OIL FREE - I have always had problems with having an oily face, do you know those oil films that you buy to get the oil out of your face, I can make 2 of those strips transparent in one sitting, so having an oil free foundation will be most helpful in keeping my face looking fresh. Second, LIQUID - I hate powder foundations, it seems to me that they cover your clothes even before they cover your face, its messy and spreads unevenly. Having a liquid foundation will do wonders when you are wearing that all white dress for a very special date. And last but not the least SPF 15 - The sun is the number one enemy of our skin, and having a make up that will not just make us feel pretty but protect our skin is a big plus. And one foundation that has all three is certainly a must buy.

So the next time you head out to the mall, look for Elianto, I sure will.
