Mommy Moments: Special day

mommy moments

With all the work I am half-buried in, each moment I get to spend with my son alone is precious. Lola Philippines is keeping Cj's dedication pictures, (and dear me where could those files be?) so I'm posting shots of special days that are available.


There's no occasion when this picture was taken. Two background facts: Cj is a picky eater and he usually eats only when it's his yaya feeding him. God knows how many times I tried to coax him to eat. One afternoon still on workclothes I took him to the nearest McDonald. Health values aside, I ordered some crispy yummies. Maybe, just maybe he'd open his mouth. And voila! He ate! and I'm the one feeding him. It may sound silly but I was high all day.


A friend's wedding reception went on late thru the nite. Although I was all grins and a semi-chatterbox in the ballroom, my mind was actually home where my little guy was. I came home to find him awake so I swooped him up for a capture which completed my day. Nothing beats feeling a squirming infant on your chest after hours of adult fun. If it's not a special day, then I don't know what it is.

And this apparently the mom graduated, and the son attended. I know I demanded a bit of my kiddo's time, subjecting him to a crowded event whose lingo he does not understand. But I am so glad he carried on. The ceremony was something I was pleased to attend, but my son's presence in it made the day special.

Weekend Snapshot: The AIDS Temple (Lopburi I)

It is sometimes referred to as the AIDS Museum, I tend to call it AIDS Temple. Descriptively it is a buddhist hospice for AIDS patients, the largest one in Thailand. Three of us, a friend, my son and I paid Wat (temple) Phrabat Nampu in Lopburi a visit last weekend. As it is where people with AIDS go to to die, most of what we saw are not exactly the ones I'm in a hurry to show off. But if you are curious, you may want to click on a post I did days ago. Anyway, on with shots that I don't think will give anyone a coronary:

100 steps to the wat
After the climb this is where you arrive at

"View from the top" - those are bare cornfields visitors pass by on their way to the temple

Side view of the Life Museum which ironically displays mummies

A usual sight around Thai temples

Bone sculptures

The temple bell

Life is beautiful. Most of us would prefer that of course. AIDS is also real.

Rumford

The Rumford is a much more efficient way to heat a room than earlier fireplaces....(Wikipedia on Benjamin Thompson, Count Rumford, designer of tall, shallow fireplaces which are now known as the Rumford, was an Anglo-American physicist known for his investigations of heat)Living in the tropics, I have been in close proximity with only three fireplaces in my life. There was an unused one in the home of my college professor in the Philippines. The other one from which I could feel the heat and see the fire dancing was in a hotel lobby in the Yorkshire Moors. Picture taking was quick. Two old ladies were having tea by it, but that was my first ever real fireplace experience, and I loved it. The latest I have touched is the one in Jane Austen's imaginary Northanger Abbey.
The fireplace, where she had expected the ample width and ponderous carvings of former times, was contracted to a Rumford, with slabs of plain though handsome marbles, and ornament over it of the prettiest English ch…

Honor, Awards and a Game

Tuesday Couch Potatoes: Made of Honor
Awards and a Game/Meme follow. Please scroll down a bit.


My pick for this week's TCP theme (wedding movie) is Made of Honor. I like the humor in it. We've all been to several weddings but how many of us can say I've been to one in which the maid of honor was a he? The scene which particularly cracked me up is when the priest mistook the maid of honor for a gay man =) If you're familiar with some of my likes, you'd know why I also love the Scotland location of the wedding. For more of the synopsis click here; and here's the trailer:

My super duper bloggy friend Thom of Thom's Place for Well Whatever and fellow Mom Tetcha of Pensive Thoughts awarded me this Beautiful Blogger award. I have to list seven things about me so here they are:

1. I love wearing jeans more than skirts.
2. One of my favorite colors is purple.
3. I don't mind spending sunrise…
