My baby is now a lady

Growing up I always wanted to have someone I can share the same interest with.  Sharing clothes...talking about boys but that did not come true.  Yeah I have a younger sister but we are 11 years old apart.  By the time she's old enough I already moved out from my parents.  I got married and live too far away from her.  We only have the technology that keeping us to share some things but not all I ever dreamt of.  Thank God I am bless with 2 beautiful girls.

Having 2 girls is so exciting for me.  I know with them I can experience what I am missing  with my little sister.  It will come to the point I know they will be going on their own ways but I just hope we have a good mother and daughter relationship when that time comes.

As of today April 30th,2014 Leona officialy has her monthly visitor.  She had "Hoops for Heart" and when she came home went to the bathroom and called out for my help.  Right then I knew what it was all about.  I was so proud of her she handle it very well.  I guess it all started when she was at school.  She never panic.   She kept the school activity as there was nothing happened.

As Leona now officially a young lady, I have to be more protective on her.  I will not only be her mother I will be also her friend.  I hope she keep open to me, open on everything even about boys.

With all this said I am a happy mom having 2 beautiful girls. Looking forward to our family adventure.  Up and down we are always with each other.

Explosions at Boston Marathon

Today is April 15th, 2013, Massachusetts holiday; Patriot's Day (or Patriots' Day) commemorates the battles of Lexington and Concord, which were fought near Boston in 1775. Patriot's Day is annually held on the third Monday of April. It should not be confused with Patriot Day, held on September 11 to mark the anniversary of terrorist attacks in the USA in 2001. As to celebrate they always have marathon participated by different runners from all over the world.

Today was a very sad day.  Heartless people set up 6 different bombs around the area where the marathon was.  The 1st explosion  happen right the finished line. And the 2nd bomb explode 1 block away from the 1st one.  There was a 3rd bomd at JFK library.

There were 105 so far reported got insured and 2 got killed to which 0ne got killed is an 8 years old girl.  The youngest victim here is 3 years old.

President did not call it as terror attacks.  If it is not a terro act who did this one then.  I hope US government have to do something in this.

Prayer goes to the victims.  No words to explains thought s or feelings.

Roger in pain

It will be a week from tomorrow that Roger start having a back pain.  He was fine until for a sudden he said his mid left back hurt so bad that he coudn't find any comfortable spot specially at night. We all thought it just because he spent more time sitting infront of his computer.  I gave him a massage for a thought he move into a wrong direction and dislocate a bone.

Even he was hurting he still went to work.  He had been suffering but pain,  having sleepless night and but did not stop him from going to work.  This weekend we are hoping he will be fine but looks like his pain still the same so we decided he need to call hos doctor.  We are Hoping nothing major that we have to worry.

Calling the doctor probably the best decision we did.  Tomorrow Roger still be going work.  Praying ang hoping everything is fine.

Leona's 10 year Check Up

Last August 24th Leona had her regular yearly check up.  She weight 110 lbs thats 10 lbs more my weigjt when I got here in America.  This is not good for Leona she is 10 years old and weigh that high.  She is obese according to BMI.  But to think about she is a tall girl.   They did cholesterol check on her and found out her cholesterol was high 211.  Her pedia suggested to do fasting and have her blood work done to get more acurate result and he added to do blood work for her thyroid.

A week after result came and yeah her cholesterol is high 194 and showing a problem on her thyroid.  This is a wake up call for me and to everyone in the familyto be more cautious.  With regards to Leona she just need to do excercise in order to lose weight.  This will help her cholesterol go down.  In six months they will do more test to see where shes at that time.  

Leona's yearly check up gives us a lesson to be healthy and to lose weight...we all need to lose weight.  We'll see where we at after 6 months.
