My Awards

My mommy Cookie and I would like to thank Tita Amy for thinking of us always. She never fails to include us in her tags. We thank you for your patience because we (actually, it's mostly my mom) forgot to post it on time but well, better late than never. Ok, it's like this, my mom sleeps very early these days especially on weekdays and she's always tired - but she do read your blogs out there, you know. She just don't have much time to blog even on weekends, well, just to let you know...

KAWAII Award

Anyway, we love the Kawaii Blog award. Kawaii (pronounced as kawa-yeeh) is a Japanese word, that we always hear at anime shows, that means cute. Thank you, Tita Ams, for this very cute award, too, just like you and me, hehe.
Best Blogger Award

Thank you for considering my blog as one of the Best Bloggers. I felt so honored. You deserve this award, too, Tita Ams, because it's very informative and entertaining.
Passing these awards to all my Titas and all listed in my bloglist. Go grab it!

Chloe the Artist 4

I guess I have not posted some of Chloe's sketches lately. She drew a lot of things/objects everyday. But since she's using her Magic board, it's very easy for her to erase it. Sometimes, I was too late to take a picture of her sketches. I sometimes prefer that she use the paper to draw so that I can scan her drawings later but she really preferred her Megasketcher... oh, well.

These were the things that Chloe saw when she was hospitalized. There was a plaster, cotton balls, tube for the dextrose, needle, small needle to prick her finger, there's a big syringe/needle and a tourniquet.

She loves to watch Disney's Magic English. One episode talked about Time/Clock.

She loves to watch Dora, too. Guess this episode talked about Music or the Piano

Sorry, this is quite dark to see. Well, obviously this is a horse that's galloping. Whew, I, myself really don't know how to draw a horse~

This is her own version of Bathroom. This amazed me...this would have been perfect except that the shower was too small/low, hehe.

Hair ala Suri Cruise ;)

After Chloe was discharged from the hospital last week, I decided to have her hair trimmed. She did not agree at first because she doesn't like to have a short hair. I explained to her that it's summer and that she needs a hair cut because it's very long already and it gets messy most of the time. And besides, it will grow again. She has inherited my very thick hair, too, you know. I also told her that she will have the same hair like her favorite Cartoon character, Dora (hehehe). She agreed - reluctantly.

So, I brought her to a beauty parlor and had her hair trimmed. But when she saw that her hair has slowly been cut shorter, she avoided to look at the mirror. After it was finished, she said she was not beautiful anymore because her hair was already short. She said only girls with long hair were beautiful. But I told her whether her hair is long or short, she will always be beautiful. I was a little sad of her reaction but well, as I've said, it will grow again.

I tried to cheer her up again with her hair. I told her that she didn't look like Dora at all but she looks like Suri Cruise. Well, she knew about this famous little celebrity (I have a magazine where Suri's been featured) and Chloe gave me a big smile after that. She said Suri is beautiful - and that Suri is her friend, haha. So, I just went on with her conversation, agreeing with her and after that, she gave me her beautiful and sweetest smile.

Congratulations, Chloe Alexandra!

Last Thursday, March 19, 2009, I attended Chloe's Recognition Day. I was glad I was given a day off at the hospital and they granted my request to fall it on my daughter's most memorable event. My husband, who was sick, forced himself to show up because he missed Chloe's presentation last December due to sprained ankle.

Proud Daddy & Proud Mommy

Anyway, we are very happy that Chloe received Academic Excellence again. We are so proud of your achievements, sweetheart! How time flies so fast! I can't believe you will be in K2 level this coming June.

Sweet moments with Teacher Karen and Mommy Cookie

Below are some pictures for you to see. There's a video for you to view, too. She sang a song titled A Parent's Prayer (originally titled, A Mother's Prayer by Celine Dion - you can listen this song by clicking the imeem music at the left side corner on this blog).

Happy Mermaid

I mentioned at Cookie's Corner that my daughter, Chloe, was featured at Disney's Princess magazine for March-April 2009 issue. I'm reposting in here her original picture for you to see :)

I actually sent them 3 pictures. The other 2, I think Chloe was wearing her Belle and Fairy costumes which I featured in here months ago. But they decided to post her mermaid picture.

(By the way, Julie, the one who took Chloe's pictures is a friend of my mine and is now a photographer in Manila. She made Chloe her 1st kiddie model last year when she was still new in photography).

Anyways, it's best if you can buy this magazine, too! Your kids (especially the girls) will surely love it and so are you, mommies!

Just Having Fun

When I had mumps the other week, my daughter Chloe stayed at her Grandma's house together with her Tito Pet and Tita Bogie. I think she really enjoyed her stay in there that she told me over the phone that she would go home by March 25 or maybe April. Duh!... as if I'm going to allow it, hehe. You can tell that she really had a grand time in there just by looking at the pictures below. She put on jewelries, fake colored nails, borrowed her Tita's blouse and readied herself to strike a pose for the camera... And then she told me over the phone that she looks like Britney Spears - well, I thought she looks like a Persian princess, hehehe...

I Look Like Mom, I Look Like Dad

I thought of sharing these pictures of ours when we were all babies. I am fully aware about the people's comments that Chloe looks more like her dad. However, my mom would insist that Chloe resembled like me when I was still a baby, hehe. I do look very different now compared to my babyhood days. I cannot even find any traces of me except maybe for my eyes (?- duh) :p

Now, for fun of it, I would like to hear from you just by looking at these pictures (especially our dilapidated pics, hehe). Don't worry about what you're going to say in here coz I'm used to hearing it that she looks like her dad. But I am so used to hearing from Chloe, too, that she looks very much like me, hahaha :D

Happy Valentines, Chloe!

Yesterday, after Chloe went to school, I sent her directly to her grandma's house because I got sick and got contracted with mumps. I think it's best that she's there for the meantime while my illness is still contagious and besides, I can't take care of her at home.

Well, I just found out later that Chloe made a Valentine message at school for us. I just missed her terribly and even now while I'm typing this blog, I am very much teary-eyed. She's a very sweet little girl, you know. Oh-oh, I can't help but my tears starts to fall now. I was hoping that we could spend Valentine's Day together but I ended up not seeing her.

Anyway, I just want you to know, sweetheart, that Mommy and Daddy loves you very much. We will always love you unconditionally and until my last breath, I will forever protect and shield you from any harm. Mommy may be hard on you at times but my heart always ached everytime I scolded you. With that, I am very sorry.

I pray that you'll grow up to be a fine young lady and always be guided to the right path. And no matter what happens, we will always be there for you. Happy Valentine's day to you, Chloe Alexandra.

My Cuddly Cousin

Last weekend, my mom and I went to visit my baby cousin Clark. Oh, he is so cuddly and cute. I kept imitating baby Clark's mommy (Tita Anna) on how to take care of the baby. And since I don't have a real baby sister or brother yet - or even a baby toy doll! - I carried chicky the stuff toy like a baby and sang a song for him, too! I really had a great time that I wish to visit again tomorrow :)

Animals and Instruments

HERE'S CHLOE'S LATEST DRAWINGS:

According to Chloe, this is Donald Duck's cow. The name is Clementine...
Geez, I don't know that, huh..She dictated to me the name while I am
typing the description on this cow.

Fur, Feather, Shell. That's what Chloe wanted me to type right now. Fur is for the sheep, Feather is for the Peacock and Shell is for the Turtle...and then there's a flower of course :)

Musical Instruments: Violin, Drum, Trumpet, Flute, Caracas, Piano, Guitar, Harp, Xylophone. My daughter really loves music that she could distinguish the instruments. I hope to enroll her to a violin or piano lesson this summer.
