First of May Rain

We felt happy and cooler yesterday because we had a First of May rain. The rains lasted for more than two hours, from 3pm till around 6pm. It was sufficient enough to cool the air and remove the humidity.

summer temperature

We have been complaining about the heat for several weeks now. Predictions range from 33 – 36 degrees but real feel is 40-42. Argh indeed, and it’s not surprising that misting fans, aircons, electric fans are turned on at an almost 24/7 basis. I don’t know how much some people pay for their electric bill, maybe enough for one of my kids’ tuition fee I guess.

As much as I want to complain about the heat, I think of all those people who are out there on the streets, in their work sites, exposed to the heat and the elements, working for their living. Here I am at home, pounding on the keyboards, working too. Do I have the right to complain that it’s hot out there?

Thank God for the brief relief from the heat yesterday. I hope the coming rainy season won’t be too intense like the summer heat.

The Best of Modern Motherhood: Expo Mom 2012

Expo Mom 2012

Expo Mom 2012 is on! Be there at the Rockwell Tent on May 5-6 Saturday and Sunday and experience what is Modern Motherhood.

Being a mom today is so different from what it was before. For starters, we have access to all this information. We now know that caring for our children starts from Day 1 of our pregnancy. We now know that the best way to take care of our family is to take care of ourselves first. We also know that technology, while allowing us to make full use of our time, is a double-edged sword as it has exposed our children to materials that they may not yet be ready to see,” observes Janice Villanueva-Crisostomo, founder of Mommy Mundo, a dynamic organization devoted to empowering and engaging mothers through unique concept events and publications. Mommy Mundo has been organizing Expo Mom since 2008.

She adds, “These are some of the issues that the modern mom faces every day. Expo Mom hopes to answer some of these concerns by showcasing the latest tools that can help us save time and make tasks easier, so that we can devote more of our efforts into becoming better moms.”

What kind of mom are you? Me, I am a Hands-On Mom. No live-in househelp for almost a decade makes me a hands-on mom, right?
