Weely Roundup – 4th Week of August

August almost come to an end, how crazy is that?

I haven’t been online much since last week thanks to the nasty cold Lil’ A is having that caused a scary spiking fever for two days in a row. Not only that I think the darn cold made a hit on me too. With a sick toddler and a pounding headache, staying unplugged was the way to go.

Anyway here are some updates of our lives besides the darn cold.

    • If you happen to be at one of the 5 stars hotels in Jakarta – you might be seeing this picture. Yep, that’s Lil’ A picture on a banner. His uncle who has been abusing his nephew’s pictures ‘borrowed’ some for his hotel’s birthday package promotion. The original picture was taken by me on Lil’ A’s second birthday party back in Florida.
    • Lil’ A’s pictures also made a cameo appearance on Time Out Jakarta magazine for their August edition. No, he’s not doing professional modeling or some sorts. They just got interested in using his pictures.
    • My father is recovering greatly after they did some laser on his eye. If you remember, he had some problems with one of the blood vessel on his right eye and the doctor suggested laser treatment. He’s still in Johannesburg right now but recovering really well. Thank you for all your supports and prayers.
    • Last week I had my first guest post over at Our Mommyhood. Do check it out, it’s my first guest post on an English based site so I was pretty nervous about it.
    • My photos for The Holiday Inn Photo Competition are still up for voting on Facebook until September 12. We’ve been getting pretty good votes in, so if you had vote thank you very much and if you care to vote please follow this link and here’s a screen shot on how to find the tiny vote button. This mama can use some getaway to Bali! ;)

  • From the toddlerhood phase: The boy has been saying that one magic line “I don’t like…“(fill the dots accordingly). Usually it will come out during meal times. “I don’t like veggies!” followed by mouth shut. Can someone tell me that this too shall pass?

How was your week? Did you guys do anything fun on your weekend?

    Congrats on Our Mommyhood post! I’ll be right over.

    I’m not surprised you are there, and I know many more would be interested in you as guest posting, b/c you bring such a different perspective to life.

    Your little guy is JUST PERFECTLY BEAUTIFUL.

    How exciting to see his picture up. I adore his hair.

    Greetings from Bilbao, Spain!
    You would love that city. It’s clean, easy to get around, people are really nice and helpful, and the best – Bilbao is full of art!

    Your pictures are great…and you must be proud mother of a star… :)

    I hope you both feel better already.
    We both are still coughing. It’s going to take 1-2 weeks until this is over.
    But the zombie feeling has not come back…

    Have a good week!

      Hahaha he’s not, but he’s a celebrity for his Grandma and uncles who spoil him rotten – no wonder he have the I’m-a-rock-star-attitude sometimes LOL. Thanks girl! Really appreciate it.

    Your kid is just going to be a heartbreaker. There’s no doubt in my mind. Where does he get the curly locks?

    Hope everyone is back on the mend. I’m trying to make quick rounds on many folks’ blogs just to pop in from my “break” last week!
