That Damn Pacifier

I chanced upon this video and I was quite irritated with the parents of this child. Watch this video of a child named Ava saying goodbye to her pacifier, crying her heart out and totally heartbroken.

Come to think of it, none of my kids ever had pacifiers and they survived. I don't see the reason why pacifiers are made, seriously. And for the sake of discussion, if my kids have had pacifiers, I will not tell them stupid things like paci-heaven because there is no such thing as paci-heaven. If I want my child to give up the pacifier, I will tell him/her that he's/she's growing up so she doesn't need the pacifier anymore. Maybe I could tease her a little that he/she is a big boy/girl and he/she still uses the pacifier.

When my kids were almost 2 years old, I told them to stop drinking milk from the bottle and start to drink milk from the glass. I tried different approaches and when one worked with the other twin, I tried on another approach to the other. Letting go is never easy to adults, what more to the kids? When my child said that she's ready to give up her milk bottle, I told her to throw the bottle in the garbage can herself and when she did, she realized that there will be no turning back.

I am not an all-knowing type of parent and I try not to be, but I feel that the kids deserve more than this BS, they deserve to know the truth. And by knowing the truth, they will be more knowledgeable about reality and facts. Eventually, they will learn that the paci heaven story is all BS and the parents will save money from buying that balloon. And for what it's worth, labeling that video in the comedy section is stupid.

Or maybe it's just me, but that's  the way I see it.

The Fool

Everyday.

Every day, you put me on a high. Just looking at that avatar makes me cringe and flutter. And when I’m feeling lucky, I get my good morning message from you (sometimes a goodnight message). Cheap thrills, I know. It’s actually fun. Being able to admire once again and feeling young. That’s splendid.

But I rather wake up from this aberration. I don’t think I can handle this.

Time To Avenge

Yey! I'm back! And I would like to thank my loyal EC droppers for continuing to drop even if I wasn't able to drop back. Mwah! Thanks!

So I will be turning 25 in 22 days, I don't have plans yet (as if I ever had plans) and my mom will be out of town by then so I think I will be celebrating with my kids or with my you my co-bloggers. Either way, I still wish for good health and an all year cheer.

I gained weight during my 2 day stay at my aunt's house in Koronadal City and I desperately need to trim down. I'm seriously considering on taking diet pills, I'm that serious, so that I will go back to my fighting form. Not that I had ever been skinny, I've always been rotund but now I'm obese and it's not funny anymore. I will be working on my diet as soon as possible -and take those diet pills!

Christmas Day is fast approaching and my aunt and I had a conversation about spending our Christmas in Cagayan de Oro City to be with their youngest sibling and my cousins too. If plans will push through, it will be a vacation to remember. I am also planning to go to Iligan City before Christmas to attend my friend's wedding. But I'm not sure about this yet, I am still contacting our other friends so that we can arrange our reunion there. I have told about this plan to a man from the past and he is quite thrilled about the idea that he agreed to pay for my fare. Hahaha. I miss Iligan City so much, I really wanted to go back there and see again the people I have left behind. So I'm saving up for this trip, and I hope my friends there will be delighted to see me again too.

Meanwhile, let me share you this video and I hope you will all be touched as I was myself. We all can make a difference and let us start now by giving a random act of kindness to anyone. :)
