diaper booboo…

i have been an EQ Dry  user since jared was 4 months, a good mummy friend of mine, who also happens to be jared’s godmother, jannai, gave me a  pack as a baptismal gift so i can try it.  her baby jolo is also using the same brand. it was the best for my baby (hiyang in our vernacular), gone are the dappy leak so i’m sure that my son is getting enough sleep every night, and the nasty rash that he got from other nappies we’ve tried. happy baby equals happy mummy and everything seems rosy!

in may am only too glad when i found out that they are having  the EQ Dry Baby’s 1st Chair and Desk promo.  i’ll be hitting two birds with one stone you see.  my problem on how to dispose of the diaper packagings is solved plus i can get a premium item in return. it’s all good!i only need to collect 42 points worth of diaper packaging and am all set. a fellow SP mommy, Irish, even gave me 10-point worth of packs and am very greatful.

i sent the parcel thru jrs express last july 30, just in time for the promo’s deadline, bearing in mind that i will only have to wait a month for my premium items to arrive, i’m delighted that the parcel will arrive just in time for jared’s 1st birthday, it couldn’t get any better than that, right?

so i waited, one, two, three days passed, and what do you know a month passed and no sign of my parcel from the postman…i’ve waited two months or so after i finally resigned and convinced my self that probably my parcel got lost in transit! then i checked the SP Forum and found out i wasn’t the only one. in fact, a lot of mummies were wondering where have all our premium items gone! one even checked with jsunitrade but was greeted by a non-enthusiastic personnel. how sad and irresponsible is that?!

then the other day, i was facebooking (yes, i think this is an actual word) and saw a widget of eq diapers on my sidebars and it piqued my interest so i hurry on to the page. it turned out EQ Diapers has just recently joined Facebook and they have also recently came out with a website of their own, EQ Diapers.

i posted a comment on their wall asking about my premium items and they quickly get back to me saying they will send a message to address the concern.  and after a while they posted this on their wall :

Thank You for joining EQ Dry Baby’s 1st chair and Desk redemption promo. We are sorry for the delay of the delivery of your premium item/s. Rest assured that all your entries are being processed. Please expect the delivery of you premium item/s between 1st to 3rd week of December 2010.

now at least we still have reason enough to wait and not harass the postman suspecting he decided to bring home our parcel and we can now sit back thinking that the precious time and effort we give to the promo will not go to waste. so sit back mummies and let’s wait some more..

Plus, in celebration of their newly established website, EQ Diaper invites you to become a member of  EQ Club. i’ve attached the registration form here. the first 100 members win special gift packs plus your baby get to have the EQ club card, so sign up now and let us see how they fair on this one…

Baby Jayjay – Support my Spine

Aldred Josh Lorenzo was born on August 04,2010
 
My sister, Cecille was browsing through the net late last night when she came across the facebook page of her college classmate Jennifer Lorenzo.  We saw the pictures of her very cute baby Jayjay and we where grief-stricken to find out about his condition.
 
Jay-jay is suffering from Meningocele. A developmental birth defect caused by the incomplete closure of the spinal cord.  This is a life threatening condition. He suffers from the incomplete growth of his spine and a cyst formed in his lower back. He could not totally moved his lower limbs (but hopefully he can walk if a surgery will be done). His head is under observation if it would not enlarge, if so, a tube will be placed underneath his skull to avoid the enlargement and infections.

Jay-jay needs to undergo a series of hospitalization, medications and surgery. The cyst and the situation of his spine could worsen if not treated early. The surgery itself would cost Php250, 000.00  (medications and hospital bills not yet included). The family’s financial situation could not afford any of it but they will do anything to fight for their baby’s life.


Tears just welled out of my eyes when i saw this photo of Baby Jayjay and i can only imagine the magnitude of his mother’s suffering but more so, the magnitude of her love for her baby, and i know she will do anything in her power to fight for his baby’s life.
Am trying to help the best that i know how, by spreading the words about Baby Jayjay and hopefully finding good samaritans like you to help his family in this time of need. An organization, SPINE, has been established to raise funds for Baby Jayjay and here are a few simple ways we can do to help extend this little angels life..
