Beauty Industry?

If you will ask me if we have plans of migrating to the US, my answer as of the moment is still No. I love the comfortable life that we live here now. My family just lives beside our house so we can count on them anytime for help. We have a nanny and house help who help us with all the things that we need at home so I can’t give up that life right now.

But I can’t help imagine what career Bela might choose if ever we decide to move to the US. I saw the website of Maryland Beauty School and I think that the fashion and beauty industry is one career path Bela can take.

Maryland Beauty School is among one of the 30 campuses of Regency Beauty Institute across nine states. They provide nothing but the best beauty training as their campuses are like high end salons so their students can be guaranteed effective hands-on experience. Their instructors are nothing but the best in the beauty industry so they can give their students the best training. Plus factor of Regency Beauty Institute is that they have placement connections so they can help their students get a job after finishing the course.

It is still a long way from now before Bela graduates from high school but all we can promise her is that we will support her in whatever career path she chose to take.

She Loves the Beach

Bela: “Mom, I did not go to the beach today.” (What she means is that she was not able to go to the beach this summer).

I actually am thinking if I can still manage to travel now that I am already 8th month pregnant so we can give Bela her wish to go to the beach. But I find it really difficult already as my tummy is getting heavy and I find it hard (and sometimes even painful) to walk or move or do anything.

So I just promised Bela that I will read lipofuze reviews as early as now so I will know what pills to take to help me loose weight fast so we can hit the beach soon after I give birth. She actually like the idea especially when I told her that it will be more fun since her baby brother will be with us for this trip and so she can build sand castles and enjoy the beach with her baby brother.

I actually am dreaming of going to Cebu or Bohol. I will start saving up for this trip as I really wanted to visit the beach when our baby boy is already big enough to travel. Hopefully by December of this year or January 2011.

7th Session with Aqualogic

Last Friday was Bela’s 7th session for her swimming class with Aqualogic. Teacher Ria, the head teacher, gave Bela a one-on-one session as she noticed that Bela already knows the basics and so she wants Bela to advance.

But Bela got really scared. Teacher Ria knows her capacity so she is really pushing Bela to try harder. But you know Bela, sometimes she can be really stubborn and the more you push her, the more she will not follow. And so she was just crying all the time Teacher Ria was coaching her and she was really resisting. When Teacher Ria asked her to swim on her own, Bela panicked and was asking Teacher Ria to help her. But Teacher Ria knows that Bela can make it on her own and so she did not helped Bela.

But Teacher Ria was really persistent and she did not really stopped until Bela listened to her. They even extended for like 30 minutes just to make Bela listen. And just like what Teacher Ria predicted, she was able to make Bela follow her and she was able to teach Bela the basic of breathing.

But when we went home, Bela was saying “Mom, I am tired swimming. No more swimming class for me.” LOL. I was actually planning to let her continue for another 8-12 sessions this coming June. She still has one more session left for this summer schedule. I will see then how she will react this coming Friday and will decide from there if we will enroll her for their June schedule or not.

Bela @ the ER Part 2

I was reading about car insurance reviews last night as I want to do my research as early as now for our car insurance when hubby called my attention and showed me the rashes on Bela’s arms and legs. As I posted here, we went to the Emergency Room last night as we know that if the allergy spread, there is a possibility that Bela might have difficulty breathing.

As much as possible, I hate bringing Bela to the Emergency Room as I know that it is their standard operating procedure to conduct all laboratory exams to rule out what is causing the problem. The last time we went to the ER was when Bela had a high grade fever and it was really a very traumatic experience for Bela. But look at Bela last night while she was at the Emergency Room:

One of the patients in the pediatric department was dancing and when Bela saw the boy, she asked me why he is dancing. This is our conversation:

Bela: “Mom, why is the boy dancing.”
Me: “Because he is happy because he will not be getting an injection from the doctors.”
Bela: “Oh, me too. So I will dance too.”

And so she started dancing.

When the doctor approached Bela:

Bela: “Doctor, no injection please. I am just here because I just want to ask you why I am turning red.”

I was really glad that the rashes subsided while we are at the Emergency Room and so the doctor just advised us to continue giving her anti-histamine for the allergy. I hope this is the last time that we will have a trip to the Emergency Room.

Enrolled: St. Scholastica It Is

Last May 17 was the enrollment for incoming Prep students at St. Scholastica. I was not able to file a leave from work so my mom was the one who enrolled Bela. I was actually planning to enroll Bela myself as I wanted to inquire in the admin office if they allow food franchise in their cafeteria as I read about best franchise opportunities and hubby and I are considering getting any of the food franchise that we think is suitable in a school environment.

My mom said that it was just a fast procedure as everything was organized. They were also able to buy for Bela’s school supplies already as it is available in the bookstore. My mom was hesitant to buy it there as she is thinking that it will be cheaper in National Bookstore but I told her that it is already crowded at National Bookstore and I don’t have time to go shopping already so it would be better if she buy all of Bela’s stuff there.

A seamstress is also present during the enrollment and they took Bela’s measurements already and we can get the uniform on June 2.

I can’t believe that my baby is now in Kinder already. I can’t help but feel scared for her as I know that big school is a different setup and I am really hoping that she can really cope up. Hope there are no bullies there who will bully by baby.

Bela is really excited as she likes the environment of St. Scholastica when we went there several times when we inquired and when she took the exam. I just really hope that we really made a good decision in choosing St. Scho for Bela’s school.
