His the Baby sitter:-)

After my husband ate his lunch I asked him to baby sit our little boy so I can finish doing my stuff online and i'm glad he didn't say no, right now his playing with is baby and singing his abc songs. its really cute seeing them playing together even if the baby is still a month old. but he is so funny though because when the baby poop, he'll call me and asked me to clean him, he doesn't like cleaning our baby's poop! it sokay for him to clean if its only pee..funny husband..

We had a Blast!

Last Saturday afternoon I invited my filipina friends for a small birthday party of mine. I was busy cooking all the foods and slept for only few hours but then everything's worth! We had a blast in my small simple party. I was really happy seeing them all and so thankful for all the gifts they gave me. We talked a lot while eating and enjoying singing in magic sing! I am happy too that my in-laws was here too. They were able to met all my friends and having fun talking with them as well. I am so blessed to have a friends like them..

We usually went to bed before 9 but for the past few days we sleep very late already including my baby. I have to get up every 2 hours to feed my little one so that added to my sleepless night hehehehe. But anyway thats life of being a mom and I don't have any problem with that in fact I still have time to do stuff online hehehehe.

Hate Letter: An Insult To All Filipinos

Hate Letter: An Insult To All Filipinos
TO ALL FILIPINOS: READ THE WHOLE E-MAIL AND POST THIS TO YOUR BLOGS:
Subject: HATE LETTER
This is a very disturbing open E-mail letter to all Filipinos aroundthe world; specially here in North America!, from a man who has the power to reach million of people. (he’s a radio talk host)Please read on…………..
This is an open letter email by Art Bell, a radio talk show host in Nevada(more info in the email itself). Here is yet another person who has taken advantage of his power and priv ilege to use hateful words and racial stereotypes that breed further ignorance and intolerance in our society.Art Bell is a talk radio host who has two shows that he broadcasts from his home in Nevada, that is rebroadcast by 400 stations across the country.He’s written 2 books. He lived in Okinawa, Japan for some years and had a radio program on the English station here. And, though it’s hard to believe after reading the following letter from him, he actually has been to the Philippines (he’s traveled fairly extensively around the world).Check out his website listed at the end to get a who’s spreading this hateful ignorance. And letter is so degrading, I think it’s really important that everybody read this and not attack him, but respond to him in a civilized manner because otherwise his thoughts will be reaffirmed. Understand that not everyone has a viewpoint like we do, and that this is an opinion of someone who hopefully can be changed only by civil actions.

Filipinos…..*make me puke* (Art Bell)As we’ve all come to notice, in the past few decades, Filipinos have begun to infest the United States like some sort of disease. Their extensive involvement in the U.S. Armed Forces is proof of the trashy kind of qualities all Filipinos tend to exhibit on a regular basis. You can see this clearly by studying the attitudes and cultural Icons of most Filipino Americans.Origins of Pinoys/Pinays:Are they really Asian? Well we’ve come to accept the fact the Filipinos come from a part of the world known as South East Asia. But the term ‘Asia’ is used in the wrong way. You may notice that contemporary Filipino Americans try very hard to associ ate themselves with groups that we know as Asian. I cannot count the number of times I have seen a ‘Third World’ Filipino try to connect themselves to the Chinese or Japanese people. There is no connection and here’s why. The Philippines is a Third World country. Nothing respectable has EVER been created by Filipino people during our entire human history. Young Filipino men in America have become obsessed with ‘import racing’. They have an enormously perverted affection for Japanese cars. It’s a common phenomenon. In their minds, these Filipinos somehow believe that they are Asian and that it somehow connects them to Japanese people and Japanese cars. They often take credit for the ingenuity of Japanese people and say how it’s an ‘Asian thing’. This term…’Asian thing’ derived directly from African American slang ‘blackthang’. ‘It’s a black thang.’ ‘It’s an asian thang.’ You can see the connection. It’s even funnier that, in Japan, Filipinos are heavily discriminated against. The only filipinos that can live successfully in Japan are the filipino prostitutes. But that’s the case for most Filipino people no matter where they live in the world. Now we’ve come down to this fact…and it is a fact.Nothing in Filipino Culture can be seen as Asian. They have no architectural, artistic, or cultural influence which is in ANY way, asian. Thinking of the great countries in Asia such as Japan, Korea, and China there is no way you can possibly connect the Philippine Islands. This assault by filipino americans to connect themselves with the great peoples of North East Asia is foul and disgusting. Try visiting a young filipino’s web site too. You’ll see something called the ‘Asian IRC Ring’. It has to do with the chatrooms. The most horrible thing about this is that these TRASHY people are trying to associate themselves with Asia again!! People in Asia don’t act like, this at all. What we are seeing here is the natural Filipino in it’s element with full access to technology and this is how they act! You will consistently see this behavior over and over again.Another interesting thing is that these ‘thirdworld’ people also frequent RC chatrooms such as #chinese #japan and #asian. They must believe that they are some how related racially or culturally to North Asians. But it’s completely WRONG! There might have been some distant contact With China and even less with Japan during World War II, but these people are actually more closely related to african americans and Mexican americans.Do the parents of these young filipinos know what’s going on? Would they accept this? I believe that they would and do.
This is the natural ‘Trash’ element in filipinos manifesting itself. Nothing good has ever come from Philippines and I don’t believe anything good ever will.Recognizing your Roots (A Message to Filipinos)To all filipino people:Please recognize your ROOTS! You come from the Third World! You country is a disgusting and filthy place. Most people there live in poverty! Your culture has MUCH MORE SPANISH influence than chinese, and absolutely no JAPANESE influence whatsoever. People in Japan and China, do not act like you. They do not constantly talk about sex and they have a MUCH HIGHER level of RESPECT for each other. There is NO WAY that you can connect yourself to Asia other than location. Your culture and technological advancement does not even come CLOSE to What Chinese, people have done in the past and what Japanese and Korean people are doing now! Everything you do is distinctly filipino. You cannot take credit for Japanese cars, video games, or Hentai! It’s not an ‘asian thing’ it’s, an ‘American thing’. You have no concept of culture…no concept of asian ideas or asian philosophy! Can you demonstrate how you use Confucianism or Taoism in you everyday life?? You can’t. And you will NEVER be able to. I understand that you are trying to create an identity for yourselves as young people… but it is NOT related to Asia.Your Identity is Filipino. That’s all you are. Just Filipino. Think about what that means….
Sincerely,Art——————————————
I find this funny, he is right in some ways where we, as Filipinos dont actually have an ‘Identity’. I think this is due to the confusion of our mixed races from Hispanic, Chinese, American and Malay origins. I see it in malls, imagine young generations wearing ski caps and ski goggles in a tropical country, baggy low rise pants like that of African Americans living in th e Bronx of New York, not to mention endless whitening products being sold at department stores and drug stores. But his ignorance also blinds him from the other truth. That while we may glorify Anime shows and Japanese Internet gaming, he is not aware that a nameless Filipino may be responsible for some technical aspects of some Japanese software. He is not aware of our contribution to the the society in general .Technological advancements that may have aided post war navigations and landing on the moon. That the antibiotic Erythromycin was discovered by Dr. Abelardo Aguilar from Iloilo creating the brand ‘Ilosone’. Thomas Edison may have discovered the electric light bulb and the fluorescent lighting was thought up by Nikola Tesla. But the fluorescent lamp we use today was invented by Agapito Flores (a Cebuano named Benigno Flores of Bantayan Island, according to the Philippine Daily inquirer), a Filipino scientist. Americans helped then-Philippine leader Ramon Magsaysay to develo p it for worldwide commerce.That the personal physician of former U.S. Pres. Bill Clinton is Eleanor ‘Connie’ Concepcion Mariano, a Filipina doctor who was the youngest captain in the US Navy. A Filipino writer Jose Rizal could read and write at age 2, and grew up to speak more than 20 languages, including Latin, Greek, German, French and Chinese. Or that a Filipino genius was responsible for the near hiatus in the PENTAGON and White HOuse nearly infiltrating their closely guarded secrets with the ‘ILOVEYOU’ bug. Nuisance maybe, but still one heck of a ‘beautiful mind’…not to be underestimated.The list goes on and on, but who cares right? Certainly not Mr. Art Bell…Boy, I’m not surprised. Perhaps Art Bell does not know that although we consider ourselves ASIAN because we are strategically located in the Southeast asian region of which our nearest neighbors are Malays, ASIA does not mean only Chinese and Japanese race of people. Then maybe it is his connotation that ‘Asia’ meant only our economically successful, paler brothers and he considers Malays such as Thais, Malaysians, Indonesians, and ourselves as a ‘Third World’ race. Then it is ‘his’ ignonimity that would make a civilized person of whatever race puke. Imagine literally connecting Chinese, Koreans and Japanese to the Philippine Islands which is archipelagos away from the countries he has mentioned. I also wonder where he got the impression that we aspire to be Japanese(???) Hispanics maybe but not the Japanese. But even Hispanics today do not mind sharing their ’surnames’ to their Asian brothers who they have colonized for 3 centuries.Another sad reality that although most Filipinos working overseas are domestic helpers and prostitutes, who does he think educates the toddlers of Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan and Tokyo? Parents of these countries rarely have time spent with their children, leaving them to their Filipino nannies. And with regards to prostitution. Filipinos are not the only ones working as one. I HARDLY SEE FILIPINOS STARRING IN PORN MOVIES. THERE MIGHT BE A FEW FILIPINOS WE HAVEN’T SEEN , BUT MOST ARE FROM MR. ART BELL’S RACE.He also mentioned that we have no concept of culture..no concept of asian ideas or asian philosophy. How can we demonstrate Confucianism or Taoism in a Christian nation? IS HE INFORMED THAT THE PHILIPPINES IS THE ONLY PREDOMINANTLY CHRISTIAN/CATHOLIC NATION IN ASIA?! YOU HAVE TO USE COMMON SENSE IN A LOT OF THINGS SOMETIMES…We do not need to create an identity for ourselves. We are who we are. Our identity stems from the anonymity we live in this world. How we contribute silent ly towards the progress of the world and not just one country. Although the Filipino blood may be tainted with malice, corruption, poverty and prostitution, it is not a perfect race… But so are the others. Maybe Mr. Art Bell needs to think about this. WE MAY NOT BE PERFECT MR. BELL BUT AT LEAST WE STILL HAVE VALUES. FOR ONE THING WE DONT PUT OUR AGING PARENTS IN NURSING HOMES BECAUSE ‘THEY’RE SIMPLY OLD AND WORTHLESS’. WE DONT HAVE AS MUCH NUMBERS OF SINGLE MOTHERS WHO GET PREGNANT IN THEIR VERY EARLY TEENS AND EVENTUALLY BECOME PARASITES OF THE GOVERNMENT FOR YEARS AND YEARS. YES…WE CAME TO YOUR COUNTRY TO WORK, TO EARN DECENT MONEY (HALF OF WHICH BY THE WAY GOES TO TAXES BECAUSE THERE’S SO MANY SOCIAL PARASITES FROM YOUR RACE).AND BY THE WAY, MOST EDUCATED PEOPLE THAT I WORK WITH DONT COME FROM YOUR RACE… THEY’RE ACTUALLY IMMIGRANTS TOO. AND THOSE EDUCATED ONES DO NOT ACT LIKE YOU DO, PERHAPS BECAUSE THEY’VE REALLY BEEN WELL EDUCATED..AFTER ALL THAT’S SAID… WHO IS THE IGNORANT ONCE AGAIN?!

Shame on Art Bell, I HEAR you May! :)
Talking about filipinos working abroad, do watch Sharon Cuneta's New Movie "CareGiver" :)

We finally had him..

Last April 26 at 5:35 in the afternoon I delivered our healthy baby boy. We went to the hospital Friday evening since my contraction is 3 minutes apart. We spend the night at the hospital but been awake almost for the whole night since the nurse asked me to walk around the hospital as my exercise. Saturday morning at 8 o’clock they hooked me up with an IV to induce me again since my cervix is only 2 cm open. And finally at 12 noon, my water breaks and just after 10 minutes my cervix is 9 cm open already which is too late to put me into painless medication. I don’t have any choice but to deliver my baby normal. To deliver a 8.4 lbs and 21 inches long baby without using any painless medication is indeed a tough one! I thought I’m gonna die on that day..it took me 3 hours before the baby comes out. I have been begging to the doctor to do CS since I can’t bare the pain anymore. But right after I asked my mother in-law to offer a prayer, the baby finally came out! The doctor said “ The prayer is so powerful”. She said, if I still don’t have my baby after 15 minutes she’s gonna do CS but luckily I’m a strong woman and didn’t give up. According from her, my baby is not for my size, the reason why my baby got a cone in his head. Good thing the cone disappeared after 24 hours. I am so blessed and happy that I was able to survive the pain, It’s hard to believed to have my baby without using any painless medication. I am also thankful to my husband and to my in-laws who never left me from the time I arrived in the hospital, they’re always there comforting and praying for me. And of course I thank God that our baby is healthy. Thank you friends for all you prayers too. I may not be able to have my baby without your prayers. Below is some of his photos.






I'm hungry

I've been laying with my baby right now here in our bedroom, he is sleeping really good and I have been staring at him for almost an hour now, trying to wake him up :-) he is really a cute baby and funny, he makes all kinds of funny faces when I tried to wakes him up..his smiled sometimes which makes me really laughed even if I'm alone hehehehe. I have gone through with lots of pain when I delivered him but everything is worth..he is a good baby, he only cries when he peed, poo or hungry other than that, he sleeps all the time. I am so blessed to have a baby like him..he is so adorable.

Chilly!

This year is really tough! The temperature is still freezing unlike last year. At this time I can already hang around outside our house wearing a sleeveless or a shirt. But now, I'm still wearing thick clothes inside our house and can't go outside without wearing sweat shirt or coat..I wonder why the temperature is still freezing..its cloudy outside and seems like it will rain soon! Now im stuck inside our house and can't go anywhere plus of course I have my baby boy already which also keeping me inside hehehehe.
