Nutrition Month Celebration

My kid’s school held a parade earlier, one of the activities for their Nutrition Month Celebration. I really enjoyed it though the pre schoolers did not join the parade. I had fun taking photos of the kids and their small band. I had fun looking for the most veggie decorated kid..LOL After the parade, there was a program and the pre schoolers grace the audience with their Lady Gaga’s Poker Face. My kids did not join the intermission number, I wished they had.

Mico was a bit clingy during the ceremony. He was not like that when I am not with him. I guess he is still a baby after all. I wish he can be as sociable as me. I am trying my hard to show him that his mom is not the shy type and he should not be too. Maybe in time..

As for Kayil, he is more confident now, socializing and being on his own. It was such an achievement for me and I am very proud of him. I actually asked him to look after his younger brother so I can take some pics and he willingly obliged. My baby boy is not so baby anymore.

What’s with us parents? When our baby is clingy, we hope they are not but when they become independent we become sentimental on how big or mature they have grown. Being a mom is not an easy task. You always have to balance between babying too much or expecting too much from your kids.. but at least we can have all the hugs and kisses to fend off our worries. Don’t you just love being a mom?

the boy with the veggies is not mine.. just so you know.. although I would have decorated them with the prettiest veggie I can find or even a strawberry or pumpkin costume.. I was not prepared.. we were not advised to dress the kid up.. and as for my kids, it was a good thing.. haha

Mommy Moments- Look At That Mess!

I thought I would not find an entry for this week’s theme, look at that mess! The messiest I have seen so far was posted last week for my Mommy Moments entry ( first of everything.. first time to eat alone). By now, you are all aware that I am suffering from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder.. and not the cute OC OC thingy about girls), and so being obsessed with order and cleanliness, mess is not a common sight here at home. Good thing while I was browsing my pictures folder, saw this pic. This was last Tuesday, after the pictorial I had with my sister and soon to be brother in law. They treated us with ice cream, spaghetti, chicken and a lot more. Supposed to be her “payment” for my effort.. but still, I was the one who cooked the stuffs.. Here are the three oldest of our boys eating ice cream as if there is no tomorrow.

I told them they can eat ice cream o their own granted they eat it outside..can’t stand the drips on the floor….

Precious Than Watch: Seiko

When I say Seiko, you say watch.. get it? uh well.. that was before I met Seiko.. not the watch you silly, but yeah when I hear the word Seiko, the first that comes into my mind is the brand of watches (and/or jewelries). Then I met the real Seiko.. more precious than any watch I have seen. The mommy behind Seiko’s Diary.

It was her name that caught my eye. It was her witty remarks on my entries that made me want to know her more. It was my envy (in a good way) to her five amazingly pretty girls that made me want to be her friend. At first I thought she was a native of Japan. Her name sounds like Japanese to me. I found out she was actually a Filipina married to a Japanese. Since I discovered her blog it has been my wiki (almost) of Japanese culture. She tells it all with much gusto and enthusiasm. She gives her readers the chance to know more about the culture there.

Entries by entries, my interest on her grows bigger. I feel like she is a mature version (I don’t want to use the term older hihi) of me. She is adventurous and have a strong beliefs on life and marriage. I envision myself doing the things she do when I am older.She is a loving mom too and very fun to be with. I give high regards to her (and an ASTIG remarks) on how cool she can be with her daughters . She let them fly on motorcycles. Isn’t that super duper cool??????

Aside form coolness, she is also a loving daughter to her mom. It melts my heart to read her entries about her mom and what more, her mom reads her blog! Now I know where she got her coolness. It’s in the genes. And her relationship with her Mother in law is great too.

Who would not want to be Seiko’s friend? And so when she asked me if we can be kumares, I was more than pleased and honored. It was a great feeling that amidst our geographical differences, our friendship blossoms. It was a very nice feeling knowing a person as sweet and friendly as Seiko. It was such an honor, calling her my kumare.

It would be fun to think that my Sati will be benefiting a lot from her five pretty ladies.. LOL
