kids fear / food factor

Don't we just love it that our kids eat more healthy food than junk and sweets? Well, that isn't the case always. While some mothers do not even try harder to feed their kids simply for the reason that their kids are food lovers, others have been very stressed in getting their kids to eat.

But this meme is different. We will name weird and strange food liking of our kids.

~~~Start Copy~~~

1.) Name something strange that your kids love to eat. Doesn't matter how many.
2.) Post an image of him or her enjoying 'the' strange food liking. If none, just a photo of him having a feast.
3.) Add your kids name in the linky love with the blog where you posted this meme.
4.) Get back to Living the Healthy Life Blog by leaving a comment so your kids' name be added to the master list.
5.) Tag as many of your friends with kids.

Kids who joined the fear food factor: ETHAN / MARTHA / JJ / Ozzy / GABBY and NICCO / ESTONG / Kuya and Kowi/ Big Brother AL-kiddo of Mommy Yen / LIZZIE / HALIGILET / DIMPLE / Ethan - kiddo of Mommy Butchay / EU-LEH "Kulit" - Little One of C.A. "tque" / Margaux and Bianca / Mikee / Munchkin Mommy’s ABBY / Alex / Cheska / Joaquin / Bela / YOUR KID's NAME with your Blog's URL

~~~End Copy ~~~


Bela is a very picky eater. It is very difficult to feed her as she only eats rice with no viand. Even if I finely chopped the viand, she will spit it out once she has a feel of it in her mouth. But my Bela just loves to eat pancit, pasta and noodles. Even if she is full, if she sees pancit, I won’t even have a hard time in trying to make her eat. She even loves the spicy one like the Penang Char from Banana Leaf and the Charlie Chan Pasta of Yellow Cab and the spicy pasta that we always order at CPK.

What's your kids fear food factor?

Kid’s question meme

tag from Em.

Copy here:
1. Answer the Kid’s Question by Gregory Stock, PH.D. Remember: Don’t respond as you think others want you to. Respond the way you actually feel!
2. Add your name (linked to your blog)
3. Tag everybody else!


Kid’s Question #1
If you were the ruler of the world and you could have anything you wanted as well as have people do anything you wanted, do you think you would get greedy and mean or would you be a good and fair ruler?

>>> I think I would be a good ruler but someone who is a disciplinarian. I want everything in order and I want everybody to follow the rules (rules that are set for the good of everybody.) Greedy? I don’t think so. I hate greedy people and I would definitely hate myself if I turned up to be one.

I am the type of person who wants to help the needy so if I became a ruler I would definitely put the less fortunate in my priority list.

♥ THEN & NOW ♥

I was tagged by Eds. Thanks for this tag sis.

Anyways, here’s the drill started by Mitch of When Silence Speaks:

If you still keep your baby’s first 3 days photos, We would love to see them. Label them as 1st, 2nd or 3rd day (as shown below). After that, please post the most recent one, one photo will do. You can post as much as you want though. I’m sure you will realize and tell yourself “seems like yesterday“.

.: BELA THEN :.

.: 1st day :..: 2nd day :..: 3rd day :.

.: BELA NOW :.

You are right Eds, time flies talaga. I can’t believe that this precious little baby of ours is now 2.3 yrs old and would soon be a preschooler. If I can just hold on to her forever. Ayan senti na ako.

And so I’m passing this tag to aggie, apols, apple, jacqui, jane, jody, joy, kelly, mich, peachy, thea, nice, kitts, mec, yvelle, pheng, farah, ems, kathy

8 Random Things About Bela

I've been tagged by Ems and Jane. Thanks a lot mga sis. Super enjoyed doing it.

8 Random Things About Bela:

.: this is my first digital LO for Bela :.

1) Bela was born on November 16, 2005, 3 PM at Chinese general Hospital via Caesarian Section. Her birth weight was 6 lbs.

2) She is the first grand daughter and first niece in my family. One reason why she is really spoiled as she has a lot of “abogado” in the family.

3) She was born with a congenital heart disease called VSD (Ventricular Septal Defect) which means that she has a hole in heart. That’s why I think she is so spoiled today as her lolos and lolas always give in to her whims and tantrums as they don’t want to upset her or make her cry even for just one second because of her heart condition. But God is really good as the hole in heart is now close.

4) She is really one active and agile baby. Even when she was just one month old, we don’t need to change the position of her head when she is sleeping as she can already move her head and change its position.

5) She would prefer to play with balls and cars instead of her dolls.

6) At 1.5 years old, she already knows her shapes and colors, the different parts of her body, and almost all the letters of the alphabet.

7) She loves to sing and dance.

8) She loves the camera. At 1.7 years old, we can easily ask her to pose like a model. And every time she sees someone taking a picture, she would say “picture, picture” and would start posing.

I am tagging Apols, Thea, Jacqui, Jody, Joy, Kelly, Mich, Peachy, Kathy, Kitts, Mec, Nice, Pheng, Toni, Yvelle, and Eds.

Post a Smile

I got this tag from Eds. It's all about posting the cutest smile of your child. Thanks for this tag sis. I enjoyed browsing Bela’s albums in search for her picture with the cutest smile. Actually I had a hard time choosing the picture that I will post as Bela is smiling in almost all of her pictures, so I’m posting a number of Bela’s picture here:

This picture was taken when Bela was only 2 months old on her second month birthday.

This picture was taken when I bought her a new dress when she was 7 months old.

This picture was taken at La Luz Beach resort – Bela’s first time at the beach, when she was 1 year and 4 months old.

This was taken at HK Disneyland with lola.


This was taken at Boracay last October, 2007.

And this last picture was taken at home when we had her pictorial for her second birthday invitation and tarpaulin.

I would like to tag Apols, Jacqui, Jane, Jody, Kelly, Peachy, Nice, Kitts, Ems, & Toni

5 Things I Want My Kids To Know Before They Grow Up

I was tagged by Nice to write down 5 things that I want my kids to know before they grow up. Here it goes:

(1) They should always put God as the center of their lives because with God, nothing can go wrong.
(2) Education is the greatest gift that we can ever give them and so they should learn how to value education.
(3) That we discipline them, not because we want to punish them, but because we love and care for them.
(4) That we love them 101% and nothing can be more important to us than them.
(5) Nothing in this world is free and so they should learn to work hard to attain whatever goals they have and that we will always be there for them in every step of the way.
