 Initially, the idea of creating my own blog actually originated from my husband who suggested to post all my HIV/AIDS-related stories on the Internet as a reference material. He said maybe you can make good use of those information by posting them in a blog. I've been writing about local AIDS story for several years until my self-imposed retirement in 2007. Its like a personal cause that I'm pursuing since I wrote my first exclusive story in 2002. But now, my site is not only for a certain cause but an avenue for everything and anything that inspires me or caught my interest and I want to keep it that way. For my stories on HIV/AIDS, I will surely publish them on my other blog, yamtorrecampo.blogspot.com.
 I want to share this award with. . .

Adorable baby beddings

My good friend Pehpot just delivered her fourth bundle of joy yesterday. She needs all the rest and sleep she can get to build up her strength so she could take care of her cute baby Sati. Godmothers, bloggers all, are excited to take a glimpse of the popular baby in the blogosphere at the moment. For the meantime, we will let the sweet child sleep. This is the stage when babies sleep most of the time. And to make her sleeping environment secure and comfortable I will recommend to her godmothers to buy Sati this adorable 12 piece Baby Bedding set. Imagine this top seller Designer Lady Bug crib and bedding is on sale at $79.98 when the competitor costs $250.00, that’s an amazing discount. Imagine for less than a hundred bucks you can get a 100 percent cotton baby crib quilt (1); 4 pieces baby crib bumber; 1 baby crib fitted sheet; 1 baby crib skirt; 2 extra wide window valances; 1 diaper stacker; 1 toy organizer; 1 decorative pillow (shaped like a lady bug); and a bonus gift (free matching high quality hand made zipper bag with handle.) Mommy Pehpot will be glad to know that the bedding is handmade and ensures the protection of the baby's sensitive skin. So that's a baby-friendly and environmentally safe product in one.

Be happy and healthy this Christmas

I've got some health tips for you my dear friends just before you get really busy preparing for Christmas. Read on.

1. Eat moderately

 We have the tendency to binge and blame the occasion as an excuse. Admit it girls. Just remember that calories you need to burn from eating calorie you need to burn to maintain you activities everyday. It's easy to gain than lose those excess pounds. I should know. ;)

2. Drink moderately

Drink socially and moderately. You should know how much you can tolerate. And just remember the golden rule:  'Do not drink and drive to avoid accidents.'

3. Buy safe toys

 I know many of you are beginning to hoard er buy toys as gift for your kids, relatives' kids, friends' kids and godchildren but make sure that these toys are children-friendly. Do not buy toys with sharp objects in it and toys that are too small that they can be swallowed.

4. Prepare healthy meals

 Experts recommend to include vegetables and fruits in the dinner table with the traditional 'hamon' and 'queso-de-bola.' Now you have well-balanced 'Noche buena' and 'Media Noche'.

5. Display Environment-Friendly Christmas Decors

 I know many of you are using an old Christmas tree and decor this year. That's good news because we are doing the environment a big favor by recycling decors.

6. No fireworks please

 I know this sounds boring to you, but hey it can save limbs and lives. We can always make some noise to celebrate Christmas and welcome the New Year except the noise produced by firecracker explosion. And please dear readers, spread the word...don't fire a gun.  

7. Plan ahead

 You don't want to be stressed out this Christmas so plan your activities for your family and for yourself.

8. Don't shop till you drop

 I know some of you are in this mode already. Just a word of advice, avoid shopping rush and do not overshop. Avail of the Christmas bargain sale. You can save not only your money but also your precious energy.

9.  Healthy gift-giving

 Buy gifts that you feel would be appreciated and useful to your recipients. And don't forget to buy something for yourself - a reward for working so hard. You deserve it.

10. Take it easy

 I like this one a lot. Pace yourself and take time out to have a quiet time to reflect on your blessings and on the goodness and beauty of life.

Merry Christmas everyone!
