Valentines is in the air


Ahhh.. love... Young love, first love, greatest love, last love, tragic love. Whatever it is, it can get pretty contagious and messy at times. But when you're swept up in all its glory... Hayayay!

During my childish and fantasy filled days, romantic days like this should be on a deserted beach, walking by sunset. Flowers filling a room. Carriage rides. Fireworks. All the components to a very cheesy Hollywood movie.

But we eat it all up like chocolate. But we have to grow up and smell reality at some point. Yes, for some, we may get just that, but the question is, is it genuine? Is it really from the heart?

I used to be such an Anti-Valentines person. Purposely so. I was single for most of the Valentines Days of my life. I finally had my best Valentines Day last year, when Bryan proposed, minus the fireworks, the candles and whatever. But I wouldn't have changed it for anything else in the world.

Happy Valentines Day, everybody.

Giving my baby a plus

Its amazing how technology has come into play even during the earliest stages of our lives. It was an amazing breakthrough back then when we were told that talking or singing or playing classical music to the child while it was still in the womb would help significantly in its development during its life outside the womb.

Now, we have Baby plus. Strangely, its just a series of beating sounds that goes on for about an hour. But its supposed to do so much for the child.

For those curious moms-to-be out there, the site is http://www.babyplus.com/

Special thanks goes to Margaret for lending me her unit. Now I just have to find time every 1 and 9pm to do this and it takes an hour per session.

The little one has been kicking up a storm these past few days. Thank God for this miracle.
