Good Read 2: 15 things all dads with daughters should know

Hello!

 It's nice to be back from being silent for a while, I just needed the time to think (lol), I just wasn't  in the mood to write (you know, lazy problems).

So now that I'm back, I am going to share with you some of the things that I've been doing while I was out of reach, haha!

I am going to share with you about my mag-ama, but before that let me show you their photos together.

Aren't they adorable? hehe, of course I adore them, hello? But seriously, their father and daughter relationship is kinda funny. They may get along well but most of the time , it's full of drama and argument.

And then I've come to read this article here which made me realize on a lot of things.

The title of the article is 15 Things All Dads with Daughters Should Know by Justin Ricklefs. Dads should read this, its really enlightening.

I will definitely print this one so that Papay can read and eventually learn from this. One point that really interest me is You have an influence on her future partner, hmm..so you better do good Pay if you want our daughter to marry a good man, be a good man, in short set the standard for your daughter, I always tell him that. 

I've always read that daughters tend to be more close to their father than to their mother, but in our case it's not all true all the time because our daughter is becoming more like me, lol! She's just five years old but she acts maturely for her age. We find it funny but it really isn't. This is a usual scenario in our house..

Papay: I'll just go to a friend for a while, I'll be back before you know I was even gone.
Mit2: You always say that! You even said you'll just be in the CR but then you never came back until morning! (with the tone and the face, take note)

 It makes me smile because let's face it, we find it cute that babies act like us adults, but when I come to think of it, it really scares me. It made me question, did I raise her well? Will she grow up to be respectful to elders especially to us parents? I've shared so much already, I think our parenting issue deserves another blog entry, agree?

The bottom line here is that, (read the article, it's the title of this blog entry anyway. haha!) us mothers should encourage our husbands to be present to our daughters' needs, may it be advice, companion or someone to listen to their unending stories (you know how girls can be). A father is a significant person to our daughter and whoever she will become and whatever she become, You as a father has a big part of it.


Thanks, till then!

Day 1 of 365

On the first day of 2018, it was raining the whole day because of TD Agaton. Yes, Agaton started the new year. We all did not invite him but still, he came and even left some areas flooded. But, nonetheless, we had fun celebrating the first day of the new year 2018 and at the same time the birthday of our youngest bro, Emman. Although, most of the time we were sleeping or lying down, we enjoyed new year. The pics tell it all. Happy New Year! Mamay :-)

Day 2 of 365

Second day of 2018 was a working day for me. I had to endure holiday blues and get myself to the office and spent 8 hours in front of my computer looking at pictures from the previous holidays and did not even touched anything that has something to do with work. Hahaha. Lucky for me I don't have that much to do these days so I had the luxury of time to splurge on unnecessary things. By the way, I took my daughter with me to work since I really don't have anything to do at the office. We went to buy the toy that she wanted for the money that she earned (partly). It was expensive! I never would have splurged my money on that toy if it was my money, but it's partly hers, so let it be. She was happy though with that toy and that was enough for a mom like me. That was how my 2nd day of 2018 went. Mamay

Unplanned trips are the Best!

 Last July 1, since it was a holiday in Tagbilaran City in commemoration of its Charter Day, we have no work or shall I say I have no work- Papay decided to take the day off as well. Out of the blue, he jokingly said that we'll go to Strawberry farm in Mayana, Jagna and I took his words - so off we go! That trip was long-overdue anyway, we have been talking of going but it never pushed through. It is true that it's better not to plan things and just go with the flow, no disappointments.  It was a long drive, we had several stop overs because reality, our body can't keep up with our minds. My legs and back were aching but because I did not want to be called "KJ" as what they often call me.. so I braved all that. We stopped first in Lila for a photo op because Papay wanted to show to his friend whose from Lila but now in abroad, you know, to make him feel more home-sick. Haha! Our second stop-over was in Garcia Hernandez, this time it was a long stop. Papay ate his ...
