Frequency of Stranger Anxiety ~ Less stranger anxiety when - They are in familiar settings - When infants feel secure - Less fearful child strangers than adult strangers - Less fearful of friendly, outgoing, smiling strangers than of passive, unsmiling strangers
- Separation Protest - Crying when the caregiver leaves - Social referencing - reading emotional cues in others to help determine how to act in a particular situation -Helps infants to interpret ambiguous situations more accurately -By the end of the first year, a parent's facial expression influences exploration of an unfamiliar environment -Social referencing improves in the second year of life

Independence ~ Erikson(1968) stressed that independence in an important issue in the second year of life -Erikson's second stage of development is identified as "autonomy versus shame and doubt" -autonomy builds as the infant's mental and motor abilities to develop -when caregivers are impatient and do for toddlers what they capable of doing themselves, shame and doubt develop

I love him. Anniversery is great. Wrote my baby a letter!
Hey, baby.
I just wanted to write you a letter telling you how much I love you and how much I love being with you.
Let me just start off by saying that I love you with all my heart, baby. I could never stop loving you. Ever. You’re gonna call me a liar, but I fell in love with you in middle school and I never stopped thinking “what if” at Sobrato. So, when I moved back here and you asked me out, it was a dream come true. That’s why I tell you that I’m so lucky to be with you. I mean, really, what were the odds? It’s fate.
Here are some of the reasons why I love you. I started a list, I’m not done yet.
LOVES ME
nice
sexy
cute
good kisser
sensitive to the touch
would make a good father
wants to marry me
has potential
good leadership skills
smart
GOOD IN BED
computer savvy
musically talented
athletic
conservative
caring
funny
loves animals (ok.. cats)
enjoys eating
very manly
very muscular
TURNS ME ON
has faith in our relationship
puts up with my insanity
still with me even though I'm crazy
loves Lilly
knows me and what it takes to make me smile
Baby, I want the “American Dream” with you. I want to have the big white house with the picket fence. With a swing set, sand box, and a slide in the back yard. I want to build a tree house together so our kids would have a place to hang out. I want to have Lilly, Jack, Ashley, and Nathan with you. Not because you’re one sexy guy who will make our kids beautiful, but because I love you and cherish you. I love you so much that I want to have your babies. I know that you will be a perfect husband and father.
Remember the image of Lilly? She’s gonna be a cute little toddler in a sundress wearing a bonnet. She’s going to be holding a little sippy cup with both hands and drinking out of it. She won’t know how to walk properly, so she’s going to waddle around like a penguin. She’s going to be our little princess. She’s going to be just like her daddy- a good leader, good looking, intelligent, clever, diligent, trustworthy. All that and more. Lil’ Lilly is going to be lucky to have you for a daddy.
Baby, baby, baby, BABY! I want us to move in together. I want us to build a future together. I know that we would be incredibly happy together, baby. I can’t imagine living my life without you. You are my rock. You are the yin to my yang. You are the cheese to my macaroni. You are the air that I breathe. I can’t live without you.
I promise you that I will do whatever it takes to make you happy. I promise that I will change all the things that you hate about me, because I don’t want my baby to hate me. I want you to think “I get to come home to my awesome wife” everyday when you get off of work. I want to be the perfect wife who makes her husband dinner every night. I want to be the wife who’s able to take care of the kids while doing all the housework. I want to be the wife who can still pleasure her husband. Most importantly, I want to be your wife.
Baby, I think it’s time to start our lives together. Open a joint bank account, start saving for our own place, saving for our wedding, planning our wedding. I know that we will be together forever. I never want to lose you. Baby, I’m ready to say our wedding vows. I’m ready to say ‘til death do us part. I love you, baby. I love you! I love you! I love you! I love you! I will never stop loving you.
Tong Hua English Translated Lyrics
I've forgotten how long it has been since I've never again... listened to you telling your beloved fairytale I've thought for a long time I start to panic have I done something wrong?
You said to me with full of tears Inside the fairytale are all lies I can't possibly be your prince Maybe you can ever understand You said I love you ever after The stars in my sky has lightened up
I'm willing to be that angel you love inside the fairytale Spread up my hands become the wings to protect you You must believe believe that we can be like that in the fairytale prosperity and happiness is the ending
You said to me with full of tears Inside the fairytale are all lies I can't possibly be your prince Maybe you can ever understand You said I love you ever after The stars in my sky has lightened up
I'm willing to be that angel you love inside the fairytale Spread up my hands become the wings to protect you You must believe believe that we can be like that in the fairytale prosperity and happiness is the ending
I want to be that angel you love inside the fairytale Spread up my hands become the wings to protect you You must believe believe that we can be like that in the fairytale prosperity and happiness is the ending
I will be that angel you love inside the fairytale Spread up my hands become the wings to protect you You must believe believe that we can be like that in the fairytale prosperity and happiness is the ending
Too lazy to format everything.. So just gonna state random things that happened so far..
I need to finish my piano research project..darn.. And I need to type up my personal statement.. but I don't have ink.. T_T'...
I finally found my camera and recorded some more songs.. the ones I got were : Alumina, Tong Hua, and Reila.. I'm going to learn Hikari next and record that... I really wanted to learn Take You There by Sean Kingston for my baby.. but I couldn't find the sheets.. =(
Thursday.. I hung out with Janet...I loved it all.. Hm.. she took me to Morgan Hill and showed me some things.. After that we had nothing else to do so we just ended up parking someone and stayed in her car for a few hours holding each other..she likes to fall asleep on me.... ^_^
Saturday.. Moose Soccer for JROTC was held... There were only 8 seniors that showed up.. It was mostly lower classmen.. It was fun... and very challenging.. I mean yeah...There are 70 people on one field trying to make goals with 3 soccer balls all going at the same time.. There were too many injuries and stuff..I'm glad I played it my last year..
That night..I wanted to fall asleep.. But instead me and Janet went out again....
....We shared our feelings with each other.. We are both really happy... We spent the whole night together... It was really romantic.. ...We made love that night... <3 I learned a lot about my baby.. We're going to stay together...for a long time.. We really love each other... She really is what I'm looking for.. I hope she knows that..
I can't think of anything else to write.. more later I guess...

The thing is..well it was a gay wedding..I have nothing against them..I'm really happy for them..Hehe I actually had to bring a really professional camera and video tape the whole thing..I believe we captured about 6 hours... I was so close to the actual ceremony..Like literally, right behind them when they talked and gave the rings and such..Over all, it was nice..It was a Filipino themed wedding thingie.. We had filipino music and food.. the Hiyas people even came and did some performances.. Aiya..Haha I forgot to mention.. It was all the way in Oakland..it was very.. VERY cold..and we were way up in the mountains...It was nice looking down at all the lights when it got dark though... I don't know what else to say about this..
And this passed Sunday.. I had to go to the storage, where we kept all of our belongings..like clothes, games, pictures, memoriables, furninture..old stuff like that that I can recognize ever since I was little..we had to go through ever box..and sort things out..we need to throw the things we didn't need anymore.. It's sad..I feel like we're throwing away years of memories that we'll never get back.. but we are moving soon and we need to clear everything..

T_T' Hm...I need to work on being more interesting..talking more...stopping with the jealously..I just really REALLY don't like it when she brings up other guys around me..she's lucky she doesn't care if I talk to other girls..I don't really know what to say about that.. =( she ignores me sometimes..which really frustrates me..but I try not to show it..bleh..
