Si AJ at ang Sitio Malabon




Last Wednesday, Nov 2,2016. We went to Sitio Malabon in Salawag, Dasmarinas Cavite to visit one of my Auntie. The rain and gloomy weather wasnt able to stop us .
Sitio Malabon is like a rural place in a city. No electricity,No Internet Connection,Muddy Road during rainy season ,tall grasses ,trees and fresh air.

Going to this place is like we are going to a mountain or deserted place. 
The rain and the muddy road  is really the hardest part.

Nakakahiya man aminin pero nadulas talaga ako at napaupo sa maputik na daan. Yung buong short ko,paa,legs and kamay halos puno ng putik.Masyadong maputik ang daan at wala ka makakapitan. 
Meron part matarik or pababa ang dadaanan which is napakadelikado kung wala ka mahahawakan. 





After 30-45 minutes walk nakarating din kami sa bahay ng tita ko. Puro putik ang damit ko and I have to change clothes kase basa din kami ng ulan.

After ko magpalit ng damit.I sat down sa upuan sa labas ng pintuan ng bahay. 
I saw one of my cousin na nag-iigib ng tubig at may dala-dalang container and  pinipilit I balance ang katawan para di madulas.

I was thinking ,pano ang mga batang estudyante na napasok sa paaralan. May iba ba silang dinadaanan? May baon ba silang damit pampalit ? Pano nila nakakaya lumakad at dumaan sa maputik na kalsada araw-araw?
All of these questions were answered when I saw AJ's photos

AJ is the eldest son of my cousin Len-Len. AJ is a grade 1 student. Talking to this 7 yrs.old kid ,he is like an adult kapag nagsasalita.He takes care of his younger siblings when her mother needs to go to work. Her mom works 2 days a week and whenever she got her pay,she make sure to budget it for the whole week.
Knowing that they only have their mom to support him and his 2 more sibling. He always make sure to help her mom with he household chores and taking care of his siblings.
AJ  wakes up  4 °clock in the morning to prepare for school, they need to go and start walking by 5°clock in the morning to make sure that they won't be late for school.

I can't imagine how they manage to do this everyday during the rainy season. The muddy and slippery road is very dangerous for their age but like her mother told me there's no other way or route to take going to school.

The muddy and slippery road in Sitio Malabon

This is where their clean their muddy feet 


Kung ako nga na malaki ang katawan,sobrang hirap dumaan ng Hindi nadudulas.Kahit among ingat ko ,talaga ng nadulas ako.May time pa nga na nag paa ako para lang bumilis ang lakad ko.
Kapag bumabagyo o maaakas ang ulan. Umaapaw ang ilog at wala silang choice kundi ang maghintay na bumaba ang tubig para makadaan sila pauwi ng bahay o palabas sa kanilang lugar.

Yung lagi akong nagrereklamo na nahihirapan ako every time na naulan at nabaha pano pa kaya itong mga bata na ito na halos araw-araw  30-45 minutes na  naglalakad sa maputik,mabato at delikadong daan para lang makapasok sa eskwelahan.

May mga batang di pumapasok ng eskwelahan dahil walang baon at tinatamad. Pero si AJ kumakain lang sya ng almusal sa bahay at kakain ng tanghalian pagkauwi nya sa bahay.Maswerte pa si AJ kung may mga biscuit or tinapay na naitabi ang nanay nya pero ma's madalas wala.
I'm proud at natutuwa akong tignan ang mga batang katulad ni AJ na nagtyatyaga pumasok sa eskwelahan at mag-aral sa kabila ng dinadanas nilang hirap nayon.

Si AJ at isa lamang sa mga kabataan estudyante na araw-araw dumadaan sa kalsada na iyon. Mga estudyanteng nagpipilit pumasok at makatapos ng pag-aaral.
Taas talaga ang 2 kamay ko para sa sipag at tyaga ng mga kabataan at musmos sanlugar ng Soto Malabon.

Will visit again AJ and his family soon.

Tigdas/Measles: Mga Sintomas, Pagkain at Lunas

Pagkatapos ng Dengvaxia incident maraming magulang ang natakot na pabakunahan ang mga anak ng libreng bakuna na inaalok ng DOH Health Centers. Yung iba sa atin hindi na pinabakunahan ang mga anak laban sa measles, tetanus, rubella at cervical cancer (HPV).

Nutri 10 Plus, Vitamins Perfect For Child's Growing Needs

Summer is already here. The temperature last week was 34°c and its getting hotter everyday. We have to open our windows to make sure that we won't get suffocated because of the heat. Summer is also the season of flu, bacteria that can cause cough and build up of phlegm. Kids should always be geared with proper protection. Their body needs protection from harmful diseases. That's why I was so thankful that I used Nutri 10 vitamins for my Chelsea. This is the kind of vitamins that she really need. For sure most of you know that Chelsea is a picky eater. She only eat if we have Sinigang or gravy that she put in her steamed rice. After taking Nutri 10 for almost a month now. I noticed some changes in her appetite and daily routine.  Before, Chelsea stays up until 2 am and wakes up around 11 am. Thankfully that routine changed and she also started to eat vegetables. As a mom I'm always worried because I know that she is not getting the right nutrients that her

A quick trip down holiday memory lane

  Can you feel it? The cold breeze, holiday songs, festive decorations, and colorful lights and lanterns… it’s Christmas season, everybody! Filipinos are known to celebrate Christmas the longest – it starts with the BER months and ends in January. Along with parties and get-togethers, we also have different traditions to celebrate the yuletide season. Since I was a kid, I associated grapes and round fruits with the holiday season. My grandma used to buy a lot of grapes during the BER months and placed them on our table along with other fruits. The grapes were also hung on windows and doors to help bring in good fortune for the coming year. I remember her asking me who was eating the grapes as she noticed that they were slowly “disappearing” and I said it must have been my aunties and our cat. But… It was silly me all along, of course! My aunties ended up buying more, much to my delight.   For Christmas eve, my aunties and grandma would make their delicious fruit salad – a huge can of f
