His Cough Runneth Over

Cough and colds it is. Lance has cough and colds for 3 days already and I am worried. As much as I don't want him to take some medicines (because I am aware that giving him medications could have adverse effects and its a pain administering medicines to him) I had no choice when it worsened last night. He didn't sleep well. He wakes me up from time to time telling me his nose is stuffy. I obliged him to wake me up when he feels his nose is stuffy already. I gave him medicines for cough and colds this morning and asked the yaya to monitor within the day if he is feeling better.

I hope he gets better or else we'll have to bring him to his pedia tomorrow for a check up and I'm pretty sure for the next 3-5 days we will have to force him to drink his medicines. We are really having a hard time on this part - even for the vitamins. We have been pretty creative and we were successful for the last months in letting him take his vitamins. But honestly effort talaga!

Now I understand why my mother was in a bad mood when we get sick. She would always tell us "if you get sick bring yourself to the hospital I won't take care of you" whenever she sees us being careless with our health. No she's not cold hearted its just her way of telling us be careful and perhaps her way of saying "darn you kids I am a medical practioner and there you are getting sick"

But even if she gets bad trip she makes sure we are taken cared of. And most often than not I see her praying. So I guess other than taking care of my son and giving him medicines the rest if up to Him - I just have to kneel down and talk to him.

Scars

Hayden Kho's documentary of his sexcapades has been out for sometime now. Katrina has gone to the senate and now she has asked the authorities to cancel Vicky's license. But this post wont be about Katrina. She has had a lot of publicity already so I wont waste time on her.

I have been thinking of blogging about the other girl in the video, Maricar. I have to say that I admire her. She kept mum about the scandal and last Sunday she held her head up high during the Star Magic anniversary. I have to admit that everytime the camera would focus on her I felt sad for her. But the sadness is just fleeting after all as a woman I am proud of her for handling this kind of storm in her life with grace. She could have fight this scandal but she chose not to because she knew better. She knew that reacting to it would only make things worse than it already is and can continue to do more damage. Maybe this is her way of doing damage control.

Its just right for her not to hide after all she has done nothing wrong. Her only mistake was to love a pig disguised as a good looking doctor. There is nothing wrong with loving someone. She just loved the wrong guy. I guess right now she is just waiting for this scandal to die (although it may take a while) and for the scars to heal.

Better Father

I am well known for wearing my heart on my sleeve. Oh yes! That's true and I will never regret each day that I do. Since today is father's day allow me to be me after all I will be talking about my great loves - the men in my life.

My Tatay

I should have known better. I should have believed that father knows best. There were a lot of times in the past that I have not heeded to his advises and believed that I knew better. It was only these recent years that I said to myself " I should have listened to Tatay" . Saying that does not mean that I regret the decisions that I've made on my own. Saying those words was confirming that he only wanted the best for me and that he believed in me. Its my way of saying that "Yes Tatay you were right. Things could have been better if I listened"

He never reprimanded me for the wrong decisions. He never tried to control me. He was just trying to be a better father.

My Husband

He is trying hard to become a better father. Although to me he is a perfect dad already. But I guess its up to our children to say what kind of father he is.

And you know what he is 80% like my father. Just the way I wanted. Just the one I prayed for.

To my Tatay and Hubby, Happy Father's Day!
