A Stay-At-Home Mum’s Tale of Husay At Malasakit

Husay at malasakit {excellence and compassion} are hallmarks of the Filipino people, and wherever we may be, whatever affiliations or groups we might have, we strive to share our husay at malasakit to our families, communities, and to the rest of the world.

As a stay-at-home mum, I demonstrate my husay at malasakit by making sure I give my 100% to my child every single time. I ensure that I provide him with a clean and loving home where he can relax, learn, feel nurtured and loved. I also make sure I give enough time to help him review for his exams and prepare his homework, so he can perform well in school and more importantly, enjoy his learning experience. Even when I am a struggling cook, I make sure I cook nutritious and healthy meals everyday to ensure that he will be well-fed and well-nourished. Of course, on top of all the service of love I do for my little man on a daily basis, I also show my malasakit by giving him something extra, like those cute stuff I put into his snacks everyday, or that extra hug and kiss when he is feeling anxious or being extra well-behaved, or allowing him extra hours on his tablet during weekend, which I am sure he enjoys the most! 🙂

As a mum blogger, I illustrate my husay at malasakit by regularly updating my blog with articles which I know will inform, educate, and hopefully, inspire other mums out there. I post about interesting products and services for children that might also be interesting to other mums. From time to time, I also share relevant news and current events to help otherwise busy and preoccupied mums drowning in heaps of home chores and worries keep abreast with what is happening around us. I am also thankful that I am able to tap into my various social media pages to get these articles out to more people in the worldwideweb.

Your Baby’s Precious CORD Blood Can Save His Precious Life

health, children health, health products, parenting 101, lifestyle, pr

As mothers, you will do anything for your child.  Even way before they are brought into this world, your instincts kick in and you tirelessly worry about your baby.  You want to learn everything there is to learn and more importantly, you want to protect them from anything and everything that can harm them be it the common cold or a fever; and if you had your way, you would gladly get sick for your child.  And your anxiety is not without reason, since there are many childhood diseases that can be harmful or even fatal to children.

Leukemia is perhaps the most common type of cancer compromising 47.8% of all childhood cancers1.  Hodgkin’s Disease1 or non-Hodgkin Lymphoma is the third childhood cancer comprising 9% of childhood cancer.  Aside from these types of cancers, certain brain disorders are also common in children. These include cerebral palsy and neuroblastoma.  Cerebral palsy severely impairs the development of the motor functions and afflicts 1-2 percent of the Philippine population2.  Neuroblastoma, on the other hand, causes the sufferer to lose the ability to empty the bladder, experience paralysis of the hips, feet, legs and uncontrolled movement.

Research into the use of cord blood and cord lining stem cells have been ongoing since the 1980s and has shown promise of saving lives and treating life-threatening diseases.  More than 30,000 cord blood stem cell transplants3 have already been performed since 1988.
