I watched ‘The Lovely Bones’ the other night with my husband. I like it a lot and as a parent of two young girls (if you watched the movie, you’d understand) I would rate it an 8.5 out of 10 . This movie made me think of so many things and I think it made me an overprotective parent. It is about a girl named Susie Salmon who was murdered at the age of 14 by her next-door neighbor. The murderer studied and watched her carefully everyday. Knowing every little things about her. The murderer even kept a diary containing info’s on how he would go about and commit the heinous crime. That’s pretty sounds scary to me. I know this is only a fiction story but it also happens in the real world. There are lots of sex offenders in this world especially here in the US. I found out about the information of these kind of people just recently. I mean, I’m aware that they exist but I never took it seriously until then. I was thinking that cases like this are rare, but I was wrong.
outtakes from yesterday's photoshoot with my kids. She's wearing a blue dress. Click image to enlarge if u like.
My husband got a part time job in the US Census and they’ve told them to watch out to these kind of people. They’ve taught them how to get information about Illinois sex offenders. I googled it myself a while ago and then I found 44 offenders living around our area. I was like WHAT?? Deep within me, I freaked out. I know I’m over reacting but considering that I have two daughters, why not? Imagine, there are 44 sex offenders in our neighborhood. Now I need 360 eyesight LOLZ. I’m thankful about this movie cos it gives me additional awareness of being not careless or neglectful to my kids. I’ll never know, it might happen to my own kids and of course I won’t let it. There’s no way I would let them go to school by themselves even if they’re grown ups. I won’t let it happen to them just like what happened to Susie in this movie. Susie went to school by herself everyday until that tremendous incident came. Her parents just went easy on her on whatever decisions she made. Just today, I kept repeating myself telling Yuna (my eldest) not to talk to strangers at all regardless of whatever circumstances. Even if they look kind and say nice things, still, never talk to strangers. I also told her, if someone talks to her after school, making up stories about how they’re the one whose supposed to pick her up cos her parents cant, she needs to ask the teacher to call us first and verify before she can go with whoever it is. Sorry that this entry is too “MOMMY”. Now I know how it feels… now I know why my mom scolded me before whenever I came home late and if I cant call when I’m late. Now I feel the need to say sorry to my mama for being so pigheaded back in the days. Sorry mama. I miss you 
I just found out that this entry is perfect for the next ‘Mommy Moments’ theme but I want to post this right now. I can’t help my emotion. I want to write it down the moment I feel it.
Sooo anyways, this is my entry for this week MM theme, Blue. Post a photo that has blue. I actually have a lots of blue in my daughters pictures I wish I can post them all here cos I’m just a proud mom like that 
but since I only have little space I’m just gonna pick my most fave

Playing with one of her toys, Catch the biggest fish.
My kids still wearing their winter jacket sometimes cos weather here in Chicago is crazy. It can be very cold even if we dont live in the mountain, even though it's almost summer. Yeah crazy like that.
Happy sharing mommies and TGIF!

Thanks for the info mommy… I have three girls and though they are still too young, I know I have to keep watch over threats such as the one you’ve discussed here. I will watch that movie too
Be safe there and happy mm

That’s quite scary. I hope that your kids are safe from those 44 offenders in your area. I’m scared now, but I wanna thank you for sharing this because it has awakened me. I need to take care of myself and be aware. I hope your kids will be in the right condition every day.
BTW, your kids are so pretty and adorable. <3
You’re so right.. bigla tuloy ako na-alarma. Thanks for reminding us.. nakakatakot kaya overprotective din ako kay azumi.. Mahirap na diba, mas marami na kasi may topak sa panahon na ito..
ANyway, as usual.. i love all the pics.. especially yung third.. pano mo sinet ang cam mo dun?
Happy weekend sis mwah
Hi sis, thanks for sharing this info. It’s heart wrenching but I’m still glad to have read it because I have heard a lot of Pedophiles these days (how on earth such people are being born in this world). It is not a waste of time to be overprotective with our children.
thanks for this info sis! I will share this link to my FB account if you don’t mind. Nice blue moments of your beautiful girls.
watched the Lovely Bones too! I liked it lalo yung effects but the story was bitin.
Pretty Yuna and Freya!
Aww Ate I understand! I have yet to watch that pa! Argh shurx talaga palagi walang time T_T It’s good to be protective of your young ones! Kahit saan talaga may pedos argh.
Ang lalaki talaga nila!!
yeah.. I heard about that pedophiles also sis.. we had a study on our Nursing Management class regarding those type of people. Sobrang nakakatakot nga sila.. kaya dapat magingat tayo at wag mag tiwala ng basta2x. hehehe..
anyways, you have cute photos sis… i love them all as usual! hehehehe.. 
buti may part-time job na is hubby mo….
ang ganda ni yuna sa photoshoot, dalagang-dalaga niya :4:
buti pa diyan medyo malamig konte, d2 super init to the max tapos bihira lang uulan
When I watched this a few months back, iyak ako ng iyak, kasi totoo eh. Minsan hindi na talaga nakikita ang katawan ng bata, kaya walang katahimikan, walang hustisya diba? Kami rin, hinanap namin kung sino mga sex offenders dito na malapit sa amin, yikes grabeh may kapitbahay kami dito lang sa complex namin may sex offender nakatira! Kaya ako rin, di ko papabayaan ang anak ko. Lam mo, wala nako pakialam sa gasolina, mahatid sundo ko lang mga anak ko hanggang high school sila, I don’t care kung over protective nako, pero mas mabuti kung I have my eyes on them palagi. Ang di ko maintindihan may mga sex offenders pa rin sa mga school zones mismo, eh bawal yun eh. Ang alam ko once nargister ka na as a sex offender you are not allowed to live within a certain miles from a school zone. kaya bantayan natin mga anak natin as much as we can.
Ako rin noon, high school na ako, nalate lang ako konti nakatikim nako ng sigaw ng nanay ko. Ngayon I know how it feels, mahirap maging isang ina kasi lagi ka nag aalala sa kapakanan ng anak mo diba? Basta doble ingat lang, at pangaralan mabuti mga anak natin about strangers.
Ang cute cute palagi ng mga kuha mo sa kiddos mo, palibhasa mga babae kaya sarap kuhanan hehehe.
