Hoedown Throwdown

I wanna share with you the video that my mom took (from her low-tech digicam, hehe) while my classmates, cousins and I danced Hoedown Throwdown. The video-cam version has a better and clearer result but my dad has no time to convert it, so, bear with this and enjoy the show ;-)

I want to take this opportunity also to thank Tita Amy who sent me 'something' on my birthday. Thank you very much, Tita Ams, for being so loving, thoughtful and most of all, generous ;-)

Thanking also my funny and pretty Tita Net for her thoughtfulness and kindness. She made a very unique gift for me... see my picture below. She spent a lot of her time just to do this and I'm loving the result!

My 6th Birthday

Hello! Just wanna share with you some of the pictures taken on my 6th Birthday. I enjoyed the party and I really had fun. My relatives, my teachers and few classmates attended my party. I donned the Tinker Bell costume and other kids came with their fantastic outfits, too.

I had Hello Kitty as my mascot (she's 1 of my favorite characters). I danced Hannah Montana's Hoedown Throwdown with my classmates and cousins, recited a poem (All Thing's Bright and Beautiful) and sang Connie Talbot's Somewhere over the Rainbow and Miley Cyrus' The Climb and played lots of games! :D

I was really happy on my birthday & totally had a blast! hehe.. 6 years old is sure lotsa fun!

COLLAGE

I Love My Mama Bie!

To me you are a
Priceless commodity
A wealth of wisdom
You've been to me

If I have thoughts
I need to share
Always I know
That you will care

I always enjoy the things
We do together
When done with you
They’re always better

You always have
An open mind
A better grandma
I could never find

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MAMA BIE!

I Love Birthdays!

Chloe's been attending kiddie parties of her cousins and friends lately but I was not able to blog about it here. Anyways, I'm going to post all of the pictures today :)

Here's a video of Chloe, singing a birthday song to her mommy Cookie :) She turned the lights off and I took a video of her. And even though I had a headache, she sure brightened my day. I love you forever, my little one!

She wrote a Happy Anniversary message to her mom and dad, too!



And a cake from Chloe (but my mom actually bought it for us, haha)

Your Daddy Glenn and Mommy Cookie will always love you, Chloe Alexandra!

Chloe's 5th Birthday (My Little Singer 2)

Chloe Alexandra celebrated her 5th Birthday last July 18, 2008 at her school. For the past 5 years, I've always planned ahead on what to do on Chloe's birthday. And everything was personalized. Lootbags, prizes, giveaways, etc, were done by yours truly. And she always had a party held in a hotel. But this year, i let the McDonald's crew do the stuff for me. Since Chloe wanted to be like Princess Belle on her birthday, she had a Disney Princess-themed party with her teachers and classmates, after which we had a small party in the evening held at home with just a few friends and relatives. But what made it special was that she showed her talent at school. Never a shy one, she always volunteer to sing in front of her classmates. I'm hoping to hone her talent more because, well, who knows?...This may end up as her career in the future, hehehe. Anyways, here's another video of Chloe where she sings Reflection ala Cristina Aguilera. You can see the other video in my other blog entry (My Little Singer).

My Little Singer

I love to talk about my little kid. Everyday, she amazes me. When she was less than a year old, I could tell she loves to sing. When I hummed a song for her, she would hum, too. She loves to listen to music, especially classical & religious music. She would fall asleep by listening Psalty’s Kid’s Praise & Worship songs; Don Moen’s songs were her favorite during naptime. Less than 2 years old, she could sing a few lyrics, although some words were not clear to hear, but you could tell she was singing to that song. She could easily follow a melody; she’s not deaf-toned. At 3 years old, she knew how to sing already but she could not finish the whole lyrics. She was already musically-inclined. When she almost turned 4 years old, she knew how to sing the Tagalog song titled “Torete”. She even sang that song during her 4th party birthday where she entertained her guests, also Britney Spears’ “Lucky”. At 4 1/2, she mastered plenty of songs. I’m proud to say that a ‘Star is Born’ in our family :). She learned and memorized Cristina Aguilera’s Reflection, Jessica Simpson’s version of Part of That World, Alladin’s A Whole New World and the song from Beauty and the Beast. She learned these songs barely a month of practicing and her voice quality is improving a lot. Her memory is sharp. I love to sing but I could not easily recall the lyrics like Chloe. I love to sing but my voice range is limited. I could say that I’m a desperate singer but I guess it’s my little Chloe who will continue to shine in this aspect and I’m very glad and proud to pass it on to her. May she continue to develop this talent of hers, and who knows?… At school, her teacher always asked her to sing on the stage or sing front of her classmates or sing during school programs. I was glad to know that she did not inherit my being 'mahiyain'. She just turned 5 last July 18, 2008 and she had a party at school where she sang her favorite Disney songs. You can view her video right here…

I couldn't be more proud of my little Chloe!

* I'll write more about Chloe's birthday on my next blog. I'm kind of busy these days. I will post more entries next time :)
