Please help. If you have a four year old kid, share your story with me here.

My daughter, Hana, has 20 teeth now (10 up, 10 down). But, last night she got a fever. And, I had this suspicion that the cause was another tooth that would be coming out anytime soon.

I touched her gum and it seemed to be different. As if a tooth is trying hard to show up.

Today, her temperature was getting normal. But, it seems like it's getting up again.

It's 9 PM here, and she's still awake. She insisted that she wasn't sleepy yet.

So, kindly share what you know to this panic Mama. Thanks!

What is more frustrating for a mom than her baby being ill?

Last week, it was a hard week for me. First, she got some light fever. Then, she got hives. And, last, I found out that she got an infection.

My husband and I brought her to the pediatrician last Saturday. Then, we went for some pizza at Izzi Pizza. She loves Pizza so much, I don't know whether it was the medicines or the pizza that made her get well.

About the infection, I have to admit...it's my fault. Previously, I was so busy with deadlines and I let the maid took care of her. And, it seemed that the maid doesn't really care about health and hygiene.

So, now, everything about my baby is under my control. She's my everything and I hate it when she's not feeling well.

Know what, one of those nights, I didn't sleep until 2.30 am, watching her breathing like a paranoid! I bet I'm not the only one doing that, am I?

No, the above title doesn't mean that I regret what has been destined to me. I live the days with thankfulness and try to make each a beautiful one--whether the effort is big or small.

But, there are times when I wonder how things would turn up to be should they be different. I imagined it, and know what...I came to a conclusion that how different my life were, it still would not be problem-free. No one has no problem. So, I tend to make more effort to make the days I live as happy as they could be.

Now, I'm having this bad headache of which cause I don't know. Well, I can guess, it could be out of my lack of sleep or the problem with my teeth. I am supposed to go to the dentist but, to be honest, I'm afraid of what will come. It would be ok if I get only some dental filling but what if the dentist thinks that the teeth must be taken out! OMG, I had three taken out before and I don't want that to happen anymore.

Yeah, I know, I have teeth health issue. My parents said it was because I consumed antibiotic a lot when I was little. I don't know if the medicine really affect my teeth or they just try to make me feel better for not really taking care of my teeth--but I actually did!

How I was sad reading this news. I cannot imagine how the husband felt when he saw his wife he has just married to only hours before passed away in his arms out of heart disease.

Marriage is supposed to be full of laughs and fun. But, when Kim Sjostrom breathed her last breath--right after her wedding dance, the happiness definitely disappeared and turned into sadness and tears.

However, the husband, Teddy Efkarpides, has given her the most wonderful moment right before she was gone for good.

It broke my heart knowing that he tried to console himself a list of "101 Reasons Why I Love You" that she gave him on their first Christmas together. Because, when he gets to #98, I bet he would shade a tear.

It says, "You're the one I want to grow old with."

Yes, I have made a commitment to lose a few a lot of weight fat.

Why should I?

Well, frankly speaking, I think there are at least 20 pounds that I have to get rid of. I have gained 20 pounds after I got married. Guess what, I even weigh the same as when I was pregnant! Isn't it a disaster?

So, here I am, on the second day of this wonderful-promising year...wishing that I ate less. I wish I had more awareness on my body - mind - spirit. Those three are the most important aspect to maximize anyone's personal development, including being successful in dieting.

Once you hit the goal, you will feel this self-improvement.

How do I know that?

Well, I was kinda chubby before I got married. So, I was somehow being successful in dieting, once. So, I know how it feels.

Not only will it make you healthier and look good, but it will also make you be a better person.

It's not that when you're chubby you become a bad person. No. You are good. Yet, you will feel better about yourself when you manage to lose some weight, even just a little bit.

You will appreciate yourself for being successful.

From some sources I've read, they say that as we age, we are less capable to produce enzymes. And, why am I concerned about it?

Because, it might cause RAPID AGING! OMG!

Not that I wish to look like 17 while I'm 50. No. It's just, I wish to look at my age. Not looking like 50 while I'm 30.

BTW, I'll be 30 next year. And, most people over 30 years of age are enzyme deficient.

So, I think I have to be well prepared. Don't you think?

My friend told me that one of the ways to avoid enzyme deficiency is by detoxifying your body with herbal or organic enzyme. That sounds like a great idea, doesn't it?

She said she tried to detoxify her body with Enzymecorrect. Enzymecorrect caused her no side effect. And, it helped her with the digestive problem she used to have. The best thing is that, it worked very very quickly!

Well, it must be good. I mean, a recommendation from a friend. Would you try it?

I think I would. Come on now, detoxify your body with Enzymecorrect.

Yes, I decided that it's time for me to exercise regularly. This decision is not related my wishing to lose weight. Not at all!

It's more related to my wishing to be healthy.

I love jogging. It's just it's gonna be more like walking after I pass one block or two. I get tired easily.

I tried fitness once. I liked it. It's just, sometimes, the place is so full of people that it makes me uncomfortable.

Well, know what I love most? Dance.

Yes, dance is a great way to exercise. Sometimes I combine it with a little aerobic that I once learned in the gym or from some DVDs. Not only it's fun, since I do it at home by myself, I don't have to worry that other see me making silly moves.

Hahaha...yes, I do make silly moves, most of the time. But, I believe they help me burn calories.

Once I did it in front of my hubby. He did laugh. I was kinda embarrassed. But...who cares!!! I was enjoying my self and making my self healthier. So...a hubby who laughed out loud didn't stop me from doing what I think was right.

But I wasn't angry at him. I simply came to him and gave him a loving kiss on his forehead and asked him to get out of the room.

And, of course, he refused.

;P
