My thoughts on parenthood, and what it's like to be a mom in the Philippines.

Graduation Jitters

Graduation Day is on March 27. My first born son will be graduating from preparatory school. He will be on Grade this coming school year! Yay! I am having some jitters haha. Tomorrow there will be a deliberation regarding honor rolls. Whatever it is, I don’t want to come. LOL Although no one will believe it but I’m a cry baby when it comes to my kids. I cry when I feel proud of them. Last Saturday was their field demo and seeing them dance in the middle of the crowd was heartwarming that I choked while trying to steal a shot. I almost cried! Dammit! I am like this whenever they perform on stage..waaaah.. so what more come graduation day or even the deliberation day. Just thinking about it now, I am about to burst. darn.

I talked to my hubby and told him I will not attend my son’s graduation. Erase that. I told him I will attend the graduation but he should not laugh when I started to cry. darn (every time i say that word it means I am sniffing here). I cannot bear to see my first born graduating from pre school. Can someone volunteer to be out photographer that day?

Mommy Moments: Cars And Kids

Dear Marce Chris,I am really sorry I wasn’t around for the last couples of Mommy Moments.. was busy preparing for a lot of things (contest and Mico’s birthday). Aside from that, our Sati is being more playful. She can roll over with ease and demands attention. She hates it when I stay long on the computer. And oh, I just discovered, she is teething now! Our little angel is growing very fast!

So forgive me and I hope my entry for this week’s theme will do. Cars. Cars. Cars.

That’s me and Chico horsing inside the car when we stopped for gas. This was when we met Marce Niko for the ticket winners and for the “Max’s baptismal party” *wink

That’s Chico, again, with his CAT car. He was being chased by the BRIEF boys.. wahaha.. and look at Sati, eager to join in the fun.

Love,
Marce Pehpot

Oh No!

I never thought that my boys would question my overspending on Sati’s wardrobe. My eldest asked why is it that Sati have more clothes than them. Uh oh, now I feel guilty of not buying clothes for them. I thought they would not like clothes and would appreciate toys more. Oh boy, I was wrong. If only finding clothes for boys is as easy as finding Philadelphia jobs, I wouldn’t have a problem. The thing is, clothes for boys are more expensive than clothes for girl. And I have three boys! Just imagine how much I need just to buy clothes for my boys.

some of their clothes, their closet was divided into 2, the upper part is for my 1st and 2nd boys. The lower part is for the 2 youngest (the pink hanger)

So I guess, I have to troop down the nearest mall and look for affordable boys clothes. Or maybe just search on local online shops. I do hope they accept paypal as a form of payment.
