SM Arena Ticketnet -- When You Lose Your Tickets

Image
I just wanted to share a great experience I had with SM Tickets / SM Arena. As I had mentioned in my previous pos t, I was not looking forward to celebrating my 30th Birthday. J, with much struggle , tried to find me other gifts, but I persuaded him to just get me the cheapest Aerosmith tickets available. I mean, what were the chances that Aerosmith was coming the eve of my birthday? They MUST be meant for me! The cheapest tickets were quite expensive at P2,600 each, considering they were GA, and he offered to buy more expensive ones. I didn't think it was practical though, since we had just paid a lot of money for tuitions in Woodrose and Zobel.  So he bought the GA tickets at Southmall, handed them over to me, and that was that. And then, I lost the tickets. That night, I was using a Cambridge satchel bag. I placed the tickets on the front pocket as soon as J handed it over to me. By the next day, the tickets had gone missing. Everything was inside the bag -- except the ...

A Child Of Mine by Edgar Albert Guest

Image
Transferred from Tumblr. — A few days after we buried Kat, I learned of a family who lost their 7 year old son to dengue. I added the father, Julian, in facebook, and he shared a poem that a friend shared to him. When I lose a little faith, I read the poem, and somehow I feel better, and accept God’s plan for our family. The original version was prepared for a male child, this was edited for those who lost their daughters.  A Child Of Mine by Edgar Albert Guest This poem partially inspired my daughter's marker. I will lend you, for a little time, A child of mine, He said. For you to love the while she lives, And mourn for when she’s dead. It may be six or seven years, Or twenty-two or three. But will you, till I call her back, Take care of her for Me? She’ll bring her charms to gladden you, And should her stay be brief. You’ll have her lovely memories, As solace for your grief. I cannot promise she will stay, Since all from earth return. But there are lessons taught ...

Calcium Supplements for Breastfeeding Moms

Image
Often times breastfeeding moms forget to take the necessary vitamins since they're so tired or distracted.  However, taking of calcium is so so important. Your body depletes your calcium stores during pregnancy, and  some more during breastfeeding. I personally take Calcium Carbonate (Calci-Aid) by Bayer because I prefer gel capsules over tablets. The recommended dose is 1000mg, but if you're a young mom (14-18 years old) the recommended dose is 1,300 since you are also still building your bones. Calci-Aid is 500mg per capsule, so I take two a day. You can get calcium from a well-rounded diet, but I don't take chances since with out schedule, I don't get to monitor my vitamin intake. Since I don't drink cow's milk (since some of the babies I donate to are allergic to the protein of cow's milk), taking calcium supplements are important everyday. I've heard of some moms who suddenly feel weak, like their bones hurt, and their doctors tell them it's...
