Music Monday #11: Circle of Life

Lion King is one of my favourite Disney cartoon and this is my favourite song from Lion King. I love the story between Simba and his father Mustafa. It was really real and touching! Sometimes, we need to be stern in educating our child, or else he/ she would ended up a spoilt brat. But yet at the same time, we need to build a loving relationship with our child. This is not an easy task, especially when your child is still young. He/ she wouldn't understand about 'saying no for their own good'. ><

And this reminds me of my experience with a flasher when I was 12 yr-old. I wanted to go to 7-eleven which is nearby my school with my friend. A day before that, I asked my mom for permission but she said no. I was really angry. I ignored her command and went to 7-eleven with my friend after school the next day. On the way, we met with a flasher. It was horrid! I've never seen "guy's thing' before that and seeing it, it was like seeing a monster. I was traumatized. For weeks, I couldn't sleep. Poor me! And I regretted ignoring my mom's command. Sorry, ma!

Family Planning

Last Thursday, M & I attended a 3 hours talk on Family Planning at Assunta Hospital. This was part of our CMPC. I had to say this was the most interesting talk i've ever attended. Even though we were both feeling a little fatigue that night but the speaker had our full attention during that 3 hours.

We were taught of the male & female reproductive system, latest contraceptive methods available and latest way of abortion - in which the church is strongly against abortion, before being introduced to the main topic: Billings Ovulation Method (BOM), an effective natural method of planning your family. It is based on the correlation of physiological events of the female reproductive cycle with observations made at the vulva. This method is being used in China and is said to be 90% accurate.

Interesting facts I've learn:
1) The life span of sperm is 1 day in dry place, and 3-5 days in wet place.
2) A male is fertile all his life long since the day he reached puberty.
3) The testicle is the ideal organ to store & produce sperm because of the temperature. That is why, male are advisable not to wear tight underwear/ pants to allow some room for breathing.
4) A male produces 1000 sperms every second.
5) Not all sperms being produced are healthy. There will be some with big head, some with crooked tail, etc. Only the healthy one will be able to swim to the egg and fertilized.

Interesting facts I've learn:
1) The life span of ovum is 1 day.
2) A female is generally most fertile a few days before, during, and after ovulation.
3) Most female ovulate on day 14th from the first day of her menses.

In BOM, we especially the females were taught to recognise the presence of musuc by the wet/ slippery/ lubricatuve sensation & visual observation, and to relate it to her level of fertility and to apply certain rules.

Homework: We were given a charting book to keep record of our observations made at the vulva. The next follow up would be three weeks later. They will then explain your charting.



p/s: I wish i could explain more in details to you guys but I have limited knowledge on BOM and it is hard to explain here. If you are interested, you can contact them yourselves.

Mono Friday #1: Kids

These two precious angels are my nieces, Sweetheart Chloe & Honey Jia May. The elder one, Chloe is 2 yrs and 5 mths old, while the younger one, Jia May is 6 mths old.

M & I, both of us love kids. We've talked about how ownderful it will be of having our own children. The ideal number of children we'll like to have are 2 or 3. This is what we wanted but the real thing is really up to God. May His will be done on earth as in heaven. :)

Happy Friday, everyone! Enjoy your weekend! :)
