My Socially Constructed Reality

My baby is approximately 28 weeks on my tummy. My expected delivery date is on the end of December. Having a 28-week-old baby in my womb makes everything a lot different. My baby's constant movements deprive me of a good night sleep. I have to wake up and go to the CR several times at night so in the morning, I still feel like not waking up at all. It also has become difficult to find the perfect position for sleeping, and the endless movements on my tummy just wake me up in the middle of the night. Actually, the third trimester of pregnancy gives me ambivalent feelings. First, I feel like I want this term to end-- I could not wait for the 9th month because of so many discomforts. At the same time, I feel like I don't want the 9th month to come because I am so afraid of labor pains. Really. For me, nothing could be more painful than the labor pains which last for several hours. pix courtesy of WebMD Inc. Check out its site.

It's not easy to find TRUE LOVE. And it's not always easy to be someone like your TRUE LOVE. An amulet became a way for NITA and KENAI to realize that they are meant for each other. Of course, Koda also realized how much Kenai learned to love him as a little brother -- Check out reviews and photos at this site .

My kids love playing video games. Charles plays Need for Speed Underground, Spider-man 2, and other games available at nickjr.com or cartoonnetwork.com. Stef plays SIMS 2 and other online games (Total Girl, Power Puff girls, etc). I never deprive them of the chance to have fun in front of the PC but I make sure that I limit their computer use. An hour (a day) for each of them is enough, usually. You may read selected articles about video game addiction at this site . By the way, it is also interesting to note that children also learn through video game playing.

Typhoon MILENYO batters Metro Manila and other parts of the country but we still managed to spend the day at SM Clark. Classes were suspended due to strong winds and heavy rains brought about by Milenyo.

1. My four-year-old son got 100% in all his 8 subjects in school. HURRAY!!! It's fun being in Kindergarten! Charles is enjoying school a lot. 2. Stef is also active in extra-curricular activities. She's joining a verse choir and she'll be GOLDIE in the story Goldilocks and the 3 bears. So now, she is asking me to look for her costume... 3. Charles loves his mini-computer which his Tita Vivien gave two years ago. Charles excels in Math, and his mini-pc helps him love Math more! 4. Lately, Stef loves reading dictionaries. I don't know why. She even told me that her teacher was wrong when he said that gospel means good news from God. Well, when my daughter looked for the meaning of gospel in the dictionary, she said the meaning was "a short passage or story found in the bible." She didn't realize the teacher was not speaking to them literally :-) 5. Charles didn't want to be absent even if he is slightly sick... He's just like Stef... They just love s
