Reasons to blog

The first time I created this blog I have no directions and purpose as to what I am going to write. But as I slowly move on, my reasons for blogging become clearer. Here are my reasons to blog:

1) It’s therapeutic to blog about what comes to mind as though what I felt is heard and acknowledged. Spiritually I am not a strong person. So if I get negative and I write positive thoughts, I become a better person.

2) Share with you my opinions and my rants in life. A space for me to generate more friends and I welcome comments from all of you.

3) Keep my mind occupied and evading my mind from drifting off to unnecessary thoughts.

4) To have my life documented and hope that one day I can share my blog with my children. As people say life is short, you never know what might happen along the journey. Have you read “The Last Lecture” written by Randy Pausch? It’s a wonderful book that makes you appreciate life more. Though he is no longer in this world but he documented a book about himself for his children; describing his childhood and his life so that his three lovely children are able to grow up knowing the kind of person their father was. If you want to know, he died of pancreatic cancer in 2008. A very touching story and Randy is entertaining too with his funny and positive attitude.

5) To strengthen my life purpose. I gain a lot by blogging and writing. Everyday I find a few pieces of me that are going to make a whole picture. :)

What diaper is my baby using?

I am sure a lot of people would have given good thumbs up for Mamypoko. It is the best diaper in terms of absorbency and it is friendly to baby butts. But it is way too pricey for me. If given a choice I would have use the normal cloth diaper because it is environment friendly but sad to say I don’t have a place to hang the cloth diapers to dry.

Anyway my baby is going to be 2 year old soon and as soon as we move, I can toilet train him. I have used Drypers, Mamypoko, Huggies and Petpet before; and I find that Petpet is the best in terms of price, absorbency and it is friendly to baby’s butt. Drypers has got a strong fastening tape but generally it is ok. Huggies cutting is not suitable for my baby and it is easily leaked.


Now, my baby can sleep all through the night with Petpet diaper because it can hold a lot of pee. Although it is not as soft as Mamypoko from the feel of my hands but it will do. So far my baby didn’t have any diaper rash. I change him 5 times a day and if he poo 2 times then an extra 2 diapers.

Recently Petpet has changed its outlook, I still prefer the old diaper because the material feels more solid but I was surprised that the new ones have the same absorbency effect. But there is no more aloe vera as an ingredient to prevent rash. The previous sticky tape fastening has been replaced with a velcro fastening.

I have used this new packaging for over a month now and it has still the same goodness. No more green colour as they printed them in purple instead and the price is cheap. My husband bought the L44 and it costs below RM 30.

Good Spirit

All of us need friends and family to encourage us to be a happy and a worthy living being. When friends are scarce like I do because of being a mom at home (attending to house and a child at home) I have hardly any time for friends outdoor. But thank god we are bless with so many social network system that allow us to keep a brief conversation with them.

And so I rely a lot on books and videos to raise my spirits up and everyday I change into a new person. Recently I discovered a video by Joel Osteen and all his speeches are both inspirational and incredible. Once again my life changes for the better because of him.
