Dear Sweetheart,
I know how much you want to join that singing contest. I've seen it in your eyes.
Forgive me if I didn't do anything about it.
You just don't know how painful it was for me.
But I want you to learn your lesson, and I pray that someday you'll understand.
My sweet Cinderella...
You know mommy is always here for you. But I want you to see that when you want something, you just can't decide to get it whenever you want to. You have to prepare yourself and try to give the best that you have. There are things in life that you have to be worthy of.
If only you've said it earlier, you know I wont let you down. I will give you everything I have, to give you the best chance to succeed. But just out of of the blue, you said you just want it--on the spot! I dont want you to feel humiliated because of lack of preparation compared to other participants. So I hope baby you understand, why I didn't let you to...
Remember this baby, I love you so much.
I am staring here for like um... 15 minutes and I don't know what to write.
Odd, only last night, my head is full of ideas and everything.
Today is supposed to be a very relaxing day for me, because no rush works to do, no tons of writing assignments, and I had a long peaceful sleep last night.
But I dont know, I am feeling low and my spirit is somewhere in between my pillow and bed. I'm not in the mood to write, to think, and even to take a bath. Argh!
And I don't understand why I dont have money right now. Lol!
Oh, maybe that's the reason.
I don't have money!
Oh, but before I forget, I have to remind myself that I'll be doing Wordless Wednesday later. Have to force myself to, or else, this blog wont be updated for the next 2 months. Lol!

This post is looooooong over due. I bought my Saya last January 2011, when Baby Snow White was barely 3 months old.
Ok, don't give me that look. I admit that was 7 months ago. On the brighter side, because of that loooong gap, I'll be able to give you a decent, and more precise user review about Saya since I've been using it for months now.
I am a busy mom of three girls. We have a small store where I spend most of my time during the day while I'm working for some of my online jobs. At night, I simultaneously switch from being a worker to my boss, to a nanny to Baby Snow White, and a tutor to Pretty Ariel and Sweet Cinderella. Not to mention, all the touch and go trips with the Frog Prince to fix some errands and buying stuffs.
But ever since I bought my saya carrier, I can't live without it, esp during day out with the kids. Baby Snow White can sleep inside the Saya carrier for 4 hours straight. I don't know, but maybe she got the feeling of being carried by a hammock, whenever she's in my SaYa.
Here is our happy baby with the SaYa:
Also, I find it easier to carry her that way. No backache and shoulder pain at all. The fabric is soft but firm, enough to make Baby Snow White comfortable without sacrificing security. I don't have problem nursing her, because I can easily make use of saya as nursing cover whenever I need to. And whenever its cold, I use it to keep her warm. And now that she's older, I can carry her in different ways using my SaYa.
Here are some ways you can make use of your SaYa:
Duyan - cradle/hammock carry
Sakay - hip/side carry
Yakap - hug carry
Lakbay - back carry
Tangan - Buddha/Kangaroo Carry
Takip - as a nursing cover
(Grabbed from Mama.Baby.Love Site)
And believe me, I've tried them all. And they worked on different situations. :)
So if you are interested in buying your own SaYa, you can visit here.

I am now starting to look for a promo airfare for our vacation next year. I am booking this early, because when it comes to finding the best deal from airlines, the earlier the better. But since our last vacation, I have promised to myself that we will only fly with highly reputable and professional airlines-- Cebu Pacific and Philippine Airlines. The reason for this, I had a very bad experience with the staff of Zest Airlines.
Last May, we had the chance to avail of their midnight flight on our way back here in Aklan. I was carrying a paminta (pepper) plants which I got from Cavite. I called their customer hotline inquiring about the permit that I need so that I can take it with me. The customer assistant told me that the plants need to be quarantine and everything will be done in the airport. I made it clear that we were travelling at midnight and asked if the quarantine office is still open during that time, and she said yes. I was a happy bee, happy and relieved.
So on the night of our flight, I was very confident that there won't be any problems. But as I reached the Old NAIA, during the first x-ray, they informed me that I can't bring my plants because the quarantine office was closed already. I explained to them that I already called the customer support of Zest, blah, blah blah! They allowed me to bring my plants inside but instructed me to put it inside the bag. So, I did.
During the second and final x-ray, they stopped us and told us that if we don't have the quarantine permit, we have no choice but to leave it there. I approached the Zest staff, where we got our ticket and boarding pass and explained to her what happened. I was shocked because the only thing she said was I can't take it with me if I don't have the quarantine permit.
I agree that we have to abide by the rules. But since their "customer agent" was the one who got me into trouble, I was expecting that they will assist me in dealing with the situation. I can't just leave it there as if it was just a bottled drink! Even their manager during that time just passed by without paying attention to me. She just instructed her staff that I can't take it with me.
So, the good news, one of the airport staff had the heart and helped me. He removed the soil, packed the plants with a tape, and carefully placed it in my hand carry bag. Good thing is that he knows that it was really a paminta plant.
Note To ZEST OFFICIALS:
Can you please train your employees how to professionally deal with your customers and at least inform them when the operating hours of the quarantine office so they will know what to answer to their callers!
By the way, here is our pic at the airport after the disappointing encounter with the ZEST staff.
