Team Angelica

angelica panganiban and phil younghusband fans Phil Younghusband made it to the showbiz news again last night. The gossip says he is in a relationship with Denisse Oca, daughter of actress Melissa Mendez. Somehow I want to believe Angelica’s point. Maybe aside from football, he wants to be an actor too. If you have been watching the news recently, you should know that there was an issue between Angelica Panganiban and the fans of Azkals football player Phil Younghusband. It started when Angelica commented about Phil’s involvement in an indie film.

Showbiz in our country is very hyped. In whatever field, people tend to put some showbiz touch on it, just like politics. It is irritating already because I kept hearing Phil’s name in the showbiz news even when he is not part of that industry. He is an athlete for goodness’ sake! This may be a publicity for him but I wonder what the Azkals coach and other members of the team say.

We should be proud that there is another positive avenue where our country can be known instead of just the negative aspects like corruption and other crimes. So please, can stop talking about Phil and the Azkals for now? Let them focus on their practices so they can win the game against Mongolia.

On Children Portraying Serious Adult Roles

Goin’ Bulilit is one of the staple TV shows that we watch on weekends. It is a gag show featuring children covering adult roles in various comedic situations. One episode really makes us laugh. Even Ayex finds it pretty interesting. Last night, their episode is quite different. Unlike the usual one that has full of jokes, last night’s was quite dramatic and evolved on a love story.

I think children portraying an adult role in a comedic manner is ok. Their sarcasm make us laugh and sometimes, we learn from them. But when these children act on serious adult roles like husband and wife complete with a wedding is kind of awkward for me. I mean, Nash is probably only 12-years-old to be a groom and his partner is too young to wear a wedding gown!

I may be over-reacting or being my conservative self but definitely, I do not want to watch Goin’ Bulilit episodes like last night’s. I want the good-old jokes kids perform. Besides, these kids are too young to portray real-life drama.

Baby Teething Remedies

As previously mentioned, our little Maxyn is teething again. She’s been really fuzzy since weekend. She refuses to be put down and wants to be carried most of the time. When you put her down, she will play with her toys for a while. I think she remembers that her gums are aching because after that short time, she would start crying and even shouting. She has two pearls that are just peeking at the same time so I am assuming that she is really having a hard time. She is not the only person having difficulty, we do too. Here are the things we do to keep all of us sane.

  • When baby has low-grade fever, we give her pedia-recommended paracetamol. The dose is according to the baby’s age.
  • To sooth the pain of teething, we give our baby frozen items like spoon or teething rings.
  • Giving the baby some teething biscuits also works for us.
  • Sometimes, we apply Xylogel to the baby’s gums to also relieve the pain.
  • Most importantly, when the baby is teething, we show her more love and patience.

I really hope her two teeth come our fully soon because she keeps on biting me when I breastfeed her.
