One of our pretend plays at home is as if we're members of a band. Normally, my daughter will be playing the keyboards, my husband the drums, me on guitars and our son, surprisingly a trumpet. :D He mention one time that he wants to know how to play the trumpet because it looks cool and funny. He wishes though that there are cool 1d mouthpiece so that when he plays and blows the trumpet, he will look cool and funny. :D I don't know where he got those ideas but I'm just glad that both of them show love for music. Hopefully, both will learn how to play at least one instrument. J
Daughter's Wish
Whenever we go to church, my daughter tells me that she wants to learn how to play the piano. She loves to sing and maybe she looks at the choir and sees one of the members play the piano. My husband and I were thinking of enrolling her so she can learn how to play, and at the same time we're looking for affordable pianos so we can have one at home. We saw great electric pianos williams allegro online but we don't know yet how much it costs. Hopefully, we can afford it so we can buy it in time for Christmas. J
Printers
I have a friend who have been
looking for wholesale
trade printers for quite some time already for his new business. He wants to advertise his creations and was
thinking of creating a catalog for a start.
He already started making an online catalogue and now he wants a printed
catalog too for those who don’t have access online. Hopefully he’ll find one soon so he can start
advertising his business. I wish him all
the luck!
Christmas Wish
Since it’s only a month from now before it’s Christmas again, I am thinking of what to give myself for Christmas. I made a list already for my godchildren, my friends and of course for my family and now I’m thinking of what I want for Christmas. I want so many things but I don’t think I can afford them right now lol! One of the things in my list that I think is possible is an apple macbook pro. But just in case I won’t be able to buy it, I hope my dear husband gets to read this post. Wink wink!
Kirsten's 7th Birthday!
Last month, we attended Kirsten’s Royal 7th
Birthday Ball at Valle Verde 5 Clubhouse.
Kids are encouraged to wear gown and thankfully I was able to find one
for Hannah. Her cousin Margo left some
of her gowns that she used when she was a flower girl and we just had it
repaired. For Lance, we bought long
sleeves for him and they just lend us a vest so he’ll look more formal. :)
Kaekae was so cute wearing her gown and her siblings
look great also. It was also great that most of her guests followed the theme
that they came in their gowns or looks kingly.
The party was a success and the kids had so much fun! Happy 7th
birthday again Kaekae.
Christmas Gift
I’m trying to make a Christmas list now so that by the time I’ll have money; I know what to buy for my godchildren and for my friends and my family. One of my godson is a teenager and I’m thinking of giving him a G-shock watch. I’ve been having a hard time looking for gifts for teenagers because I don’t know what they want anymore. I hope my budget will fit the price of the watch so we’ll see.
PTC in Hannah's School
Last Saturday, Paul and I
went to Hannah’s school for the PTC. We
are really looking forward to that because we would like to know how Hannah is
doing in school. We can see that she can
read already though sometimes she gets confused with b and d. She gets confused with some of the numbers
and we would like to know how we can help her to improve. Also, we want to ask her teacher on how we
can better discipline her because both Paul and I are sometimes having a hard
time with her attitude.
Anyway, Teacher Jojie
showed us the results of the mock exam and on which part Hannah needs to
improve. She said Hannah is doing well
and she will just give worksheets so she can practice during sem break. About the behavior, we asked her some tips on
how to discipline her more and she gave us good advice. Thankfully, Hannah behaves well in school; I
just hope she’ll behave the same when she’s at home.
Hopefully we will be able
to apply to Hannah the tips Teacher Jojie told us to discipline her but more
importantly, we will practice Hannah with the worksheets given to prepare her
also with the big school. Teacher Jojie
said she’s ready and we just have to practice her. J
Meeting Vek
During our trip to
Singapore, I didn’t make plans to meet any of my friends since the trip is
really for the kids and I just want to make sure that before I meet a friend,
we’re done with our activity for the kids.
Thankfully, my grade school friend saw my post in Instagram and arranged
for us to meet. We decided to meet after
our trip to Malaysia.
We met her at the Marina Bay
Sands and it was good to see her again.
She treated us for dinner and we waited for the show at the MBS. We just talked about how things are with her
in SG and how it is here in the Philippines.
We also talked about our batch mates and also our friends.
I was really glad she took
time to see us, it’s been 5 years since we last saw each other and I’m glad we
were able to catch up. I hope it won’t
take another 5 years for us to see each other again. Thanks again Vek for dinner and hope to see
you again J
Weddings
That’s one of the
events that I really love to go. I love
it when you feel the love and care of the couple who’s getting married and I
feel honored that you’re invited to witness a very special event in their
lives. At the same time, it also feels
good to see friends and relatives whom you haven’t seen in a long time.
My favorite part
during a wedding is when the bride walks down the aisle to meet his husband to
be. There are even times that I cry
especially when the bride or the groom is crying too! Yes, that’s how emotional I am! Actually, I think I cry in almost all the
weddings I attended lol!
Anyway, about
wedding preparations, of course one focus of the bride is her gown and how it
will look on her. I’m sure most brides
check out different magazines or websites such as DressFirst to serve as guide
on the different designs of wedding gowns and at the same time see what the
latest material to be used is.
I remember the time
when I was preparing for my wedding, I really have no idea what type of gown
I’d like to wear. I don’t know what
style looks good on me or how long my trail should be. Thankfully my cousin helped me and introduced
me to her couturier. At that time, I
just let the couturier sketch and suggest the style that’s good on me. If I had known back then about DressFirst, it
would have been easier since there are a lot of designs to choose from, and
they also have different accessories, veils, headpieces, even shoes, and
whatever it is you need on your big day. Look at the pictures below which I grabbed
from their site, those are just two of the styles you can choose from and they
have a lot! Nice wedding dresses right? :)
It is really a very
helpful site and brides today are lucky that there are sites like those that
can help you with just a click of your finger.
Anyway, it’s been
awhile since I last attended a wedding and I am looking forward to going to one
again. We will see who and when will it
be. :)
Happy BIrthday Caeylla
We went to Cavite yesterday to attend
Caeylla’s 1st Birthday Party.
She is the lovely daughter of Paul’s officemate. We first had a hard time looking for the
place due to it’s small signage but thankfully we were early so we had time to
look for it.
Anyway, as always, the kids had fun at the
party. It was not the usual party that
we go to but nonetheless it’s fun. The
kids brought home prizes and candies and said they had fun. Happy 1st birthday again Caeylla!
Musicians
One of my frustrations is to become a musician. I can play the keyboards but I can’t sing well, oh and I can’t play the keyboards well too, I just know how hehe! Anyway, I really pray that my kids will learn to love music and play at least one instrument. Even the schlagwerk unique hand drums is ok for me. At least it’s one of a kind and I’m sure it’s really cool. But just in case they won’t like it, I’m hoping that my daughter will learn how to play the guitar or the piano and my son the guitar or the drums. They are both showing their interest already and I’m just trying to get funds to send them to a music school. Wish me luck! :)
Typhoon Maring
Once again, a very strong typhoon hit our
country and a lot of people are affected by it.
Thankfully, our area now was not affected and there was no flood in the
street. The drainage that the government
worked on our area a few months back worked because if it hasn’t I’m sure we
should have evacuated already because of the amount of rainfall experienced for
the past few days.
Anyway, I’m really glad we surpassed this
typhoon but I pity those whose houses were submerged in the flood. I do hope this time; some government
officials will use their pork barrel for the benefit of their constituents. Some areas are still flooded and some don’t
have a house to live in anymore. L
The only good thing that the typhoon
brought to us is that we were able to bond with the kids for 5 days. We get to play together, be silly together,
eat a lot together and sometimes just do nothing at all. We were also able to rest for a few days
while we monitor the weather.
Now that the typhoon is gone, we hope that
government officials will do their best to assist those who were affected and
for us who weren’t affected, let us also do our share in helping them by
volunteering or by giving some relief goods.
There are a lot of evacuation centers asking for help and I’m sure any
help we can give will be very much appreciated.
