My Birthday Party Invitation
We’ll have a strawberry shortcake themed party tomorrow. It’s not a grand birthday bash but I have cake, ice cream and goodies for those who will drop by to greet 
I’ll also excited to wear my beautiful dainty dress!
Hello My Little one,
Earlier this afternoon, I dressed you up in a red jumper skirt with a flowery shirt under it. You were jumpy and giddy… so excited to go out with me. Just when you discovered how pretty your dress was, you said something really amusing… tapping your chest, you said.. “Ea, girl”. Although to everyone listening it sounded like “Eeayah, grerl”. Ahaha it’s amusing because no one taught you that. But there was one time I showed you a picture of a little girl wearing a similar dress, but that was only once. I just feel warm inside knowing that you my little one are starting to have a sense of identity young as you are. I”ll be here to watch you grow and help you see what beauty God has created in you. I’m excited to see the woman you will become. I love you for always.
Just a little list to account all of what I missed writing here:
- I took my 5th airplane ride last May 6th. We were off to Davao for a family gathering and to attend Auntie Belle’s wedding. We stayed there for two fun weeks Jet and I had heaps of fun playing and learning with our cousins. I was the only girl most of the time there… Ate Kareze visited and played with me occasionally but my boy cousins – Kuya Koy, Oshie, Gabbie and Jarred were there at Lola’s house the whole time, they were my resident playmates. We went to Samal beach and to People’s Park. Of things we missed bringing – Camera! so sorry, no documents to prove the grand vacation.
- It’s fun to count 1 through 10! Mom taught me 1 to 3. Auntie Grace taught me how to put it together with 4 and 5.. until 10. To my mom’s ears, here’s how I sound: Huwaaan..chooo…fweee…fo…fai…tis…eben…et…nay…teh!
- A – /Ey!/ the name I call all letters with after Auntie Grace showed starfall.com. I can’t read words yet but I am good with pictures! Try me…
- It’s fun having a playmate and a brother in one. Jet and I enjoy a lot chasing each other and just laughing. I’ll show some videos soon
Jethro's First Birthday
After a long time of waiting, my little brother finally turned one last 21st of March. We celebrated it by the pool in Country Village Hotel, Cagayan de Oro City.
It was an Jet Plane themed party. The cake looked like an airport with a Jet taking off and car cup cakes around it. The games were Jet powered too! I’ll share the games on my next posts so that mums who would like to do the same theme for parties will have an idea. First birthdays should be a blast than other birthdays, don’t you think?
This site was attacked by some malicious hacker yesterday. My mom was about to delete the whole site and start all over again just to get rid of that ugly hacker face. Thankfully, after a few look ups and check ups, mama was able to figure it out all by herself and restored the site back on. Whew! Goodbye pretty pink-purple butterfly theme.. Now I have to live with the default until we can make a new, clean one.
peanut butter yum!
Active toddlers like me can pick up chewing gum from under a table, from the trash bin or steal it from someone else’ mouth. The soft gummy texture is just so wonderful to the feel that I might not be able to to help but stick it on my lovely locks. If that ever happens to your little one, removing chewing gum by trimming of the hair should be the last resort. But how not to panic? By knowing what to do of course. Here’s how: Get a jar of peanut butter. Rub heaps of it around the gum, mash and mash some more. Then, using a wide-tooth comb, gently comb the gum out. Finish with the baby’s favorite shampoo.
Why this works? Because the sugar and the oil from the peanut butter breaks the gum’s cohesiveness off. It’s chemistry I suppose.
After two years and two months, I finally got my first hair cut My mama has been contemplating on this crime for weeks and weeks but was putting it off thinking she should get a good pair of hair scissors first. She kept on forgetting to buy one so she used the one for paper sheets. Mama kept a bunch of strands for her baby scrapbook.
I’ll post a photo of it in a little while. I think my hair is lovely
Don't taste the puddle Ea!!!
Yesterday was a looooooong day. Although I did not go out until it was 3PM, it felt like I’ve been gone for a long while already because I’ve seen so much of the outside world. I’ve been a bit grumpy lately for always staying inside the house and not being able to see much open spaces. Early yesterday morning, mum said she’d bring me with her as she will run errands, pay bills and all other grown up stuff I don’t know much about yet. It was raining but she still kept her promise.
So off we go. First stop: Bayantel Customer Service center. Not very exciting but I’m glad the queue was not long. While mum was on the service line, I stood by the security guard counting every people passing by. mffwon. mmfftwo. mmfftweee.. then back to mmffwon. mmfftwo..mmfftwee.
After that, I felt a little hungry and thirsty so I tugged mum for a num-yum. We sat at a corner of the restaurant and stayed until I had my fill. When I was ready, we went to the pet shop. We counted the shif.. I mean fish – mffwon.mmfftwo..mmfftwee. There are so many of them. I also saw a gray see snake, teddy hamsters, smelly white mice, little puppies and a little bird.

Love is expressed in many forms, shapes and colors. I know because I get to receive loads of it in multiple folds and running over. Thank you to all my families and friends who remembered my special day and expressed love through prayers and gifts.
I am now an official member of the “Terrible Two’s”. Beware!
I’m joking but there is a hint of truth in there. My party was intimate and fun. My house is quite small so everyone was so close to each other, literally. I wondered how some 30 grown ups and 8 kids fit inside. For a second I thought our house is going to explode!
My mum prepared the goodies the night before the event. She had to prepare everything earlier because there is a wedding she had to go to on the very same day as my birthday.
My birthday cake is very pretty. This is beautiful because mom placed the decorations herself. She knew I love colorful flowers and butterflies. I’d like a cake that’s bursting with wonderful colors
