Kakai's 2nd Birthday Party

after more than half a year

So, yeah, yours truly had a haircut! It isn't really much of a change, just had the ends and bangs chopped.  What excites me is my new hair color! It isn't really that obvious in pictures, but I dyed my hair beige. I actually did it myself (I used Prettia Bubble Dye in Creamy Beige), then had my stylist add brown highlights. :) Can...

Guilty

My very lovely and beautiful daughter might have delayed language disorder (DLD), or worse, autism spectrum disorder (ASD). I was ready for my daughter to have delayed speech, since I've read a lot of articles stating that bilingual kids (and an only child) often have delayed speech. But after my research, I am concluding that it is not just a normal delay in speech, and it might be DLD. My daughter is sweet, she loves to play, and laughs a lot....

My daily makeup

You see here in Japan, putting on makeup to work is manners. Being presentable is very important and leaving the house without makeup is considered lack of common sense. Seriously, you wouldn't see any Japanese peeps on the streets without their makeup on specially in the middle of the city! (some might cover their faces with sunglasses when buying something just from the convenience store in the neighborhood. lol) Well, I wouldn't want to be seen...

crossroads

I was in a state of confusion and anxiety for a while (or maybe I still am). One way or another, I'm sure all of you have been in my shoe and could very well relate... Have I chosen the right paths in my life? Not that I am regretting any decisions I've made, but I'm starting to wonder if I have decided for the better. An incident just recently made me think If I should go and carry on living together with my whole family. -The answer I gave myself...

What's your Enneagram type?

I am not done reading the whole blog posts (it was too long! hehe), but I thought I might share it here too. There are apparently 9 types of personalities, each defined by a certain ego fixation. The 9 types are: Type 1: The Reformer - To be good, to have integrity, to be balanced. Type 2: The Helper - To feel loved. Type 3: The Achiever...

I am a Mother. Enough said.

I have been very proud of my daughter (and myself) because she hasn't had a major sickness and fever (just a few hours of runny nose during winter). But after a year and half, the daughter had roseola and now she has low grade fever and cough.. :( Whenever there's something that bothers me, etc., or whenever she's sick, there's this site that I find very helpful for a first time mommy like me. It's : babycenter.com It's really helpful to check...
