Mia and Me

I discovered this picture.

This was taken when I was two years old together with my aunt, Tita Mia.

Ang ganda namin, di ba?

Blowing Out The Candle

Since I could not reach the candle for me to blow it out, Daddy lifted me.

See how heavy I am now?

Mommy anxiously looked at me as I blew out the candle.

I did it!

Look At My Red Dress

This picture was taken during my 3rd birthday party on August 18, 2007 at Great Vision, Bgry. Bolilao, Mandurriao, Iloilo City.

I love that red dress of mine.

But that clown destroyed my day.

My Daddy carried me because I was afraid of the clown.

Beside me is my Mommy.

See my Mommy gifted me a red spaghetti dress.

This is still part of my 3rd birthday party at Great Vision.

I have a two-layered cake with some other foods prepared for me by my Mommy and Daddy and Nanay Bing.

The Best Shot

Here is one of the best shots we had during my 3rd birthday.

The scare on the clown is still printed in my face

Pabitin

One of the games we had was a pabitin.

Here the children were very happy getting something from the bitin gifts.

My 3rd Birthday Celebration

Yesterday afternoon, I celebrated my 3rd birthday at one of the rooms of the Great Vision here in Bolilao, Mandurriao, Iloilo City. More than fifty people attended the affair. It was a success as everybody was happy in the games, and in eating the foods prepared by my Mommy and Daddy, Nanay Bing, and Tito Popy.

Although I invited all my classmates, only three of them came. Aside from my classmates, the friends of my Mommy and Daddy came, so were some of our neighbors.

Before the clown came, I was happy playing with my friends. I was roaming around the area.

But when the clown came, I got scared. I cried. I held my Mommy tightly. I did not want to walk around. My Daddy came to me and tried to come me down, but I was just so scared of the clown. I lost my interest.

To calm me down, my Daddy advised the clown to leave for a while while we were having our group pciture. I even waved to him as he went out of the room.

But then after fifteen minutes, he came again. And I ran again to my Daddy.

The clown sung together with his puppet, but I just could not enjoy.

Concerned about my enjoyment, my Daddy again requested the clown to go out.

He went back after ten minutes. This time, he was in his normal dress. Although he was still had his puppet.

While the clown was out, my Tito Popoy and Sharon, our neighbor served as emcees. But still I did not join the games like Give Me What I Want, Pabitin, and Statue Dance. although, I was held by my Mommy so that I would be the first to get a hanging gift from the Babitin.

Anyway, all my wellwishers went home happy.

I appreciated all the gifts I received. But one of the best gifts I received was a writing pad with abacus.

And of course the ecard from Tita Edna.

My Other Picture

Here is my other picture--this time with my Mommy and my Daddy.

See, I love picture taking.

Isa pa nga!

My 3rd Birthday

I really enjoyed my 3rd birthday yesterday.

My Mommy bought me a cake. My Nanay prepared Sutanghon, chicken sticks. At iba pa.

I had a lot of pictures taken by my Daddy.

Then we ate our supper when everybody was in.

I was the last to leave our table--I had a good appetite despite my cold.

My daddy and my Tito Eugene brought me to a Manghihilot yesterday morning. May kibit daw ako--dalawa. Aywan ko nga ba kung saan ko nakuha yon.

I missed my class.

This morning, it is raining. I might not be able to go to school again.

Today Is My 3rd Birthday

Today is my 3rd birthday.
My Nanay Bing and my Mommy and Daddy went to SM City last night for our little handaan tonight..
Little because my birthday party will be held on Saturday.
Sayang, I cannot eat ice cream.
My Tita Edna in America sent me an ecard with a lovely dog. It's nice because I can command the dog on what to do. If I say jump, it jumps. When I say Kiss, it brings out its long tongue.
I will have to be happy today despite my running nose.
I am glad my Mommy is always prepared. She has a stock of my medicine.

Here It Is

This is my souvenir.

Tito Poypoy told me not to run,but I did not listen to him. So here is the result.

We were on our way to Nanay Bing's Office from my class. Since I was excited to see her, I ran. But then I stumbled.

I cried--just a little. Just a little.

Nanay Bing carried me on our way to the taxi.

The Venue of My Birthday Party

My Daddy and my Mommy went to check the venue where we will hold my birthday party. Here it is.

Madali na lang, 3rd birthday ko na.

But I will be celebrating my party on the 18th of August because August 15 happens to be a school and work day.

This picture was taken inside our classroom in UP in the Visayas. I am with my classmate, Inday-Inday.

My Ninang Rose

I have two ninangs.

One of them is Ninang Rose, an architect.

She is a close friend of Tito Gigi. And she is always in our house, especially when Tito Gigi is around.

Here she is in one of her happy moments.

Pen Pen De Sarapin

My Uncle Popoy and I have been playing Pen Pen de Sarapin.

This is actually a folksong.

It rans like this:

Pen Pen de Sarapin

De kutsilyo de almasin

How, how the carabao batutin.

Sayang pula, tatlong pera

Sayang puti, tatlong salapi

Tikbak, buang, binuno aswang.

To play this, we put our hands on a table or on a mat, with spread fingers. Then we sing, pen pen de sarapin. As we sing, for every note, we point a finger between two fingers. We continue this until the end of the song. Whereever the song ends, the fingers where the song ends, these two fingers will be "removed" by hinding them under the palm. The singing will be continued until only two fingers are left.. Whoever will have his/her fingers left, is declared the winner.

Here is my other new picture. In my school uniform.

My Uncle Popoy

My Uncle Popoy is the yonger brother of my mother.

He has been accompanying me to school.

Uncle Popoy is a good ballet dancer.

He teaches me how to dance ballet.

Here is my Uncle Popoy

My New Picture With My Mommy

My Mommy has been taking me new pictures, which I love too.

Here is my new picture with my Mommy.

My Forthcoming 3rd Birthday

On August 15, I will be celebrating my 3rd birthday.

My Mommy is so excited about the event.

She brought a new dress which I will wear on that birthday party.

But I will hold my birthday party on Saturday, August 18 because my birthday happens to be a Wednesday. So Mommy decided to hold my birthday party on Saturday.

But we will have a small preparation on my birthday.

Here is my other new picture.

My New Table

My Tatay and my Nanay brought me a new table where I can study.

In this table, there is a complete alphabet, and numbers from 1 to ten.

Last Monday, after leaving my class, I run towards the office of Nanay.

My Uncle Popoy who brings me to school told me not to ran. But I did not listen to him.

Then suddently I stumbled.

Results: bruises on both of my knees.

When i reached home, I could not play well because of the pain on my knees..

But I am OK now.

Here is one of my new pictures.
