Aqua Dots...

-
That's the first one in our daughter's Christmas list which she made in September/October, way before the toy was put on the recall list. I was kinda sad but not surprised that a lot of the toys that a lot kids like are on the list. One place that list toys that are on recall is WATCH - Watch Against Toys Causing Harm, Inc. What do you know, AQUA DOTS is right on top. Now if there is an organization which job is to warn us of dangerous toys, it can only mean that there's probably a lot of toys that they needed to put an organization as watchers. I tried to explain to our little one why aqua dots should be crossed out and of course she's not too happy about it. So now she can only think of the Aqua Dots...why? Because she can't have it...argghh.

Anyway, if you're a Mom or an Aunt or a Friend who is thinking of getting toys for your young loved ones, check WATCH first before you buy any toy. You just might not know that the innocent looking toy you're eyeing for them may be one of the toys in the recall list.

8 Years....

...since my Tatang passed. Just like my Nanay who 'left' 4 months ahead of him, I miss him so much. I was, am, and will always be his little girl. My throat hurts at this moment while typing because I'm trying not to cry as the little one is here beside me. So who is this man we fondly call 'Tatang'? He's a very hardworking man who spent his entire life trying to make a living to support everyone in his family, some siblings and his mother included. He never finished school because at the age of 16, he was already working full time to help augment his family's income. He got married a bit late [at 29] because of this "responsibility". He and my mother didn't start a family of their own right away because he wanted to help his family a little more I guess. We didn't have a lot of material things growing up but he made it a point to be there all the time. I remember not having a television set for the first 12 years of my life but

The little one's video is far from perfect but I'm a proud Mama. She recorded this all on her own so pardon the little 'booboos/mistakes' she made while recording/singing. Enjoy! If you're not familiar with the song, here's the link to the official video .
