whenever there are things that mia does which we think is advanced for her age (like stacking blocks up to three levels when she was still 6 or 7 months old), i would usually say, dahil ba yan sa chocolait? (was that because of chocolait?)
i said that because when ipe and i were still living in Mandaluyong, almost everyday during my pregnancy, i would buy chocolait and fortune mocha mamon or ube ensaymada at mercury drug before i wait for a bus or a cab going to the office. i eat them while commuting to work or once when i’m at my work station.
i really like to drink chocolait even before i got pregnant, it’s one of my favorite drinks. remember when chocolait was still on bottles? shows how old i am noh and for those of you who don’t know me, i don’t drink milk i just dont like the taste or the smell? (my mom told me that i stopped drinking milk before i turned one year old) so this is also my excuse to just drink chocolait for me to get calcium that i’m supposed to get from milk. oops before you react, i also have my calcium supplement during pregnancy of course given by my ob :)
look at mia now, she’s beautiful and healthy not because she drinks chocolait now (but she’s had her taste of it already and liked it hehe) but because i drank chocolait when she was still on my tummy. good thing mia drinks milk unlike mommy. we had her try her milk in its chocolate flavor but she doesn’t like it, she’ll stick to the vanilla flavor for now.
