LP: Lila (Violet/Purple)

Ito ang unang "lila" na pumasok sa isip ko nung malaman ko ang tema para sa linggong ito.

Si Barney... ang kasalukuyang kinahuhumalingan ng aking 2 chikiting. Kuha ito noong nagkaron ng palabas si Barney sa SM Malls noong Nobyembre at Disyembre.

Maligayang LP! Bisitahin ang iba pang lahok dito.

Di ba't napakagandang pagmasdan ang paglubog ng araw?

"Mommy, where's his Daddy?"

To unwind from a busy day at work, I usually watch a couple of 'teleseryes' when I get home while I let my 2 very active 'bulilits' play.

Last night was no exception. I watched my nightly dose of teleseryes. I didn't notice that my little girl stopped playing and was actually watching with me. So imagine my surprise when she suddenly asked me, "Mommy, where is his Daddy?" (The teleserye was about 2 boys with the same father but 1 of them never knew who his father was).

Anyway, since I was caught unaware by little girl's question, I didn't know what to tell her or how to explain. I just told her that the boy has a father but he just doesn't know who. Then I continued to tell her that there are kids who just do not have daddies. And that she's lucky she has both a mommy and a daddy.

I really found it hard to explain to her in a way she'd understand so I left it at that. Luckily, she didn't ask more questions.

Part of me considers this a proud mommy moment. It showed that my little girl is paying more attention to things other than the usual ones that she's interested in. But part of me is worried that I will not be able to keep up with her questions.

I guess I'd better be prepared... what if she asks me "where she came from" next?

Ito ang aking lahok para sa linggong ito...


Kuha ito sa isang beach sa Florida, USA; isang malamig na araw ng Nobyembre. Di ko na matandaan ang pangalan ng beach na ito. Pero napakaganda nung araw na iyon. Napakaaliwalas. Kaya't naisipan naming mamasyal kahit kami ay nanginginig sa ginaw.

Maligayang LP!

It's Party Planning Time Again!

This time, for Sean's 1st birthday.

I still remember when we planned for Caitlin's 1st birthday party. We crammed with the preparations. This time, it's no different. We're still cramming! Hahaha! We barely have 2 months to prepare.

Anyway, here's what we've done so far:

1) Theme - this is a non-negotiable. Can you guess what it is? It's something hubby is a big fan of. If you guessed "Formula 1", you're right!

2) Venue - we've already booked the Big Red Barn at Fun Ranch Pasig for the party.

3) Invitations - courtesy of my cousin B and her hubby.

4) Photo - my brothers N and J, and cousin B (again!)

5) Food/Food carts - we just have to finalize the menu since this comes with the venue.

6) Entertainment - booked with the venue, too

7) Decors - we need to finalize this with the venue, too

8) Cake - we've found a supplier that does an F1 themed cake and cupcakes. We just haven't booked their services yet.

9) Lootbag/Souvenirs/Giveaways - all we have are ideas for these. We still haven't decided and we're still open to suggestions. So if you have ideas, let me know! :)

10) Birthday attire - we're still looking for an affordable race car outfit for the birthday boy.

11) Video - no supplier yet.

I guess that's it. I hope we make it in time :)

LP: Pula (Red)

Una sa lahat, nais kong humingi ng paumanhin para sa mga linggong ako ay hindi nakalahok sa LP. Naging sadyang 'busy' lamang ako nung mga huling buwan ng nakaraang taon. At dahil bagong taon na, pipilitin kong makalahok sa LP linggo-linggo.

Ito ang aking lahok sa para sa linggong ito -- litrato ng aming bunso kasama ang "Ferrari Hotwheels Collection" ng aking asawa.



Hindi pa naman ganon karami ang mga munting sasakyan na ito. Pero unti-unting nadadagdagan tuwing kami ay mapapadaan sa tindahan ng mga laruan. Di magtatagal, kakailanganin na naming bumili ng cabinet para lamang sa koleksyong ito ng aking asawa.

Maligayang LP sa lahat! :)
