so goes my week…

our week was off to a bad start since jared caught the cold saturday of last week. it really annoyed him when he’s got colds: he becomes irritable + cries a lot, he hates taking medicine + it almost always lands on the floor (or in most cases, his clothes, his crib + our bed!)  in a pool of vomit + that adds up to the frustration (well not that i can blame him, i wouldn’t give him any if there is a better way to cure his colds!) imagine seeing your son struggling and freeing his tiny body away from you forcing him to take meds! he was crying + his nose is running, really not a pretty site + heartbreaking at the most + if only i can help it, i’d rather skip on the colds episodes instantly. 

on a lighter note, it was a moment of celebration for this blogger since i got my first moolahs via paid-posting, so i was $20 richer courtesy of this article, i had problems with technicalities on this post (remember i won a .info domain + had to transfer it to wp after using it in this blog for a while?) am only glad i had it rectified just in time for payday!yay!
i also got the book i requested from navpress, becoming a woman of influence by carol kent + will be reading it + posting a review after, soon as my schedules allows me to.
i’ve also got the tommy hilfiger loud perfume, my freebies from nuffnang (made a separate post on this one too)
on saturday, jared (who’s doing a little better now, thank god!) + i went to trinoma for the obm baby blast 2 event. jared had a great time playing at the play area + i enjoyed browsing around shops (there are just a few + i haven’t found a toy booth which is one of the reasons why i came in the first place) + listening to celebrity mummies (like patricia hizon, nikki valdez + gladys reyes) talk about tips and stuffs on all things baby, experts giving lectures on children’s care + nutrition, plus speakers from toddlers + playschools on benefits of enrolling babies with them + of early learning.
