From Being Brain Smart To Being People Smart (+Twitter Promo!)

I mentioned not that just once.. in fact I always mention this when I talk about my kids. My third son is the shyest of them all.

See what I mean.. masyado akong nag wo worry no? Hindi naman, he really is very shy.. but iyun nga, so many things happened to him. I think it all started when he was awarded Best In Math during their moving up ceremony. Na boost ang kanyang self confidence.. then came his award as top 6 last grading period.

But then last week, he surprised us with this…

Imagine, children’s party, a room full of adults and people he does not know.. and yet he participated and even went up stage to be the magician’s assistant.. kung hindi lang blue leaf ang venue (syalen to the highest level venue!) baka ngumawa ako ng iyak because of this achievement. Imagine, my shyest among the shyest baby boy is now starting to be people smart!!!! Ayayay! Nakakaiyak mga inay.. sobraaa!

Pero may mas bongga pa diyan.. report card came in a few days ago… and guess??? HE WAS TOP 3!!!!

Eto na po, hindi ko na napigilan ang luha ko.. jusmeeeee award nights ang drama ko!! Overwhelming!

And he said he’s ready to face anything, even sing in front of many people.

DIY Halloween Costumes From Mommy Bloggers

I asked some of my mommy blogger friends to share their DIY Halloween Costumes! Check it out their Do it yourself Halloween costumes:

Superman Clark Kent Costume for Halloween

Mommy Levy dressed her son as Superman’s alter ego, Clark Kent. Check out her blog post on how to DIY a Clark Kent costume> How to do a Clark Kent Costume

Jhanis of Vanilla Housewife said they made the PVZ zombie head using a box. tissue paper, poster paint and lots of glue and masking tape. The eyes are styro balls.

Mommy Badet is now officially my DIY 1st princess LOL (joke lang Badet! haha) She made Gwen a DIY India costume and DIY Dora The Explorer costume:

Mommy Serene of Nurse’s Diary took inspiration from the movie The Croods with their Halloween costume last year:

And here’s my fair share of DIY Halloween costumes:

Out of the 5 costumes I made for Sati this October (I did that? what?!?) this DIY angel costume was the easiest. The wings, I was planning to DIY it too but Mommy Chai just lend a pair of wings to me.

Her top is an undershirt, a few sizes bigger than her. I sewed frosted illusion tule for the sleeves. I also use the same fabric for the tutu. As usual, the tutu was a no sew one. How to make no sew tutu? Check out my blog post>>> How to make a no sew tutu for little girls.

This is the costume that won her the best costume from the Shakey’s Party we attended a few weeks ago. And this is the hardest I made! Everything was hand sewn on that costume!!!

This Elsa costume needs more polishing..but it’s really easy to make as long as you got the right fabric. I bought mine from Taytay, Rizal.

This is the costume she wore during the Mommy Bloggers Philippines Halloween Party. I enjoyed making this costume because I made it in less than an hour! And the shoes! It’s so tink!!

The last but not the least, this is the costume she wore for United Nations Parade:

From Elsa costume onwards, I already got a small sewing machine that helped me in making the costumes.

As you can see , I really enjoy making costumes!

Are you ready for the Halloween? What will be your kids’ costume this Halloween?

United Nations Costumes

A few more years from now, I will open a costume shop. I will sell United Nations costumes, Halloween costume or any costume one could think of.. I can even offer United Nations Costumes for rent, Halloween costumes for rent or even gowns for rent.

I am serious with that! With my DIY talent, why not di ba?

Last year , I made 4 United Nations costume. China Boy costume, Sweden boy costume, Miss China costume and Miss Germany costume.

This year, with United Nations parade getting closer (Friday na!!! waah), I am getting inspiration from these United Nations costumes from my mommy blogger friends:

Saudi Arabia costume from Mommy Levy. According to Mommy Levy, you can find National Costumes in Baclaran (usually at the back of Baclaran church, under the LRT rail).

United Nations Egypt Costume Boy and Japan Boy Costume from Mommy Jem of Experience of a Super Mommy. According to Mommy Jem, if you are looking for affordable United Nations costume, Quiapo is the place to go.

United Nations Costume stores in Quiapo is located at Palanca Street, near New Sin Kian Heng (where you can buy Kitchen Aide Artisan for 18,000 PhP). Stores selling United Nations costume is near Mayer Photo (where you can find the cheapest camera).

Mommy Michelle of Michi Photostory said, Argentina costume was easy but they had a hard time looking for hat. Argentinian hats are big right? Mahirap nga humanap ng ganun!

Mommy Ria of My Green Living Ideas got her daughter a Korean costume for Unitedn Nations.. waah I want one din for Sati!

Actually, Sati will be wearing Brazil, while Chico will be United Kingdom.. my older boys should wear an Asian country.. still thinking what..I need inspiration for their costume design and float design. Any ideas?
