Happy, Happy Birthday again and again to my li’l S! She just turned 11…and whadayaknow! Summer vacation officially ended yesterday.
I don’t really have a very decent photo entry for this week’s theme, so pardon this mobile shot taken a few hours ago. My daughter, S and her friend on their way to their new school. This marks a great milestone for her since she goes up to Middle school too!
As always, mas excited at mas kinakabahan pa ang mommy kaysa sa mga anak! haha! and i can’t wait until i get to pick them up in a couple more hours!

…na may temang, LANSANGAN.¬† Hindi nga ba’t masusuwerte pa rin tayong maituturing because we have the opportunity to send our kids to school?…at hindi sila matatagpuan na naglipana lamang sa lansangan?
…again, this was made by my daughter, S. out of the box, yes. but she prepared them on her own! not steamed as how we usually make PUTO [rice cakes], but i helped her stash ‘em in the oven. quick, easy..instant craving satiated!
…di pa siya nakuntento…nilagyan pa ng kaunting red food color ang 2nd batch!:) and of course i’ve had a too much of ‘em, so much so that i just might need some diet pills after! yikes!

na may temang…MERIENDA.
S’s very first attempt on baking all on her own! it may be out of the box, but now i know somebody has followed our footsteps! at least gastronomically speaking…she did everything by herself! from opening the box to using the mixer and frosting [not in photo], even to washing the baking tools that she used!
sinigurado ko na maging ang paghuhugas ay dapat nyang matutunan at gawin para malaman nya ang lahat ng steps na nakapalibot sa pagluluto o pag-b-bake.
it all came out as a success! from the super moist and soft cupcake to the washed utensils/tools! big girl. mah girl.:)
ang aking almusal the very next day…paired with a cup of coffee! delicious!:)

at first glance…
iisipin mo na ito ay hindi inuming pangbata…more specifically parang BEER hindi ba?
…paano kung nakita mong ang umiinom nito ay isang paslit? tulad ng aking bunso…NAKAKAKILABOT hindi ba?
ok, ok…hindi rin! haha! i tried! pagpasensyahan na po ninyo..this is the best i can come up with:) btw…this is just rootbeer soda!:)

…today marks the first day of their summer vacation! yippeeee!!! and my little girl is soon off to Middle School! we definitely slept it in until about 9 or 10. blame it on those chirping birds on this lazy overcast day! add to that the fact that my little man is all snuggled and all over me! i specifically asked them to sleep with me last night since i don’t want to wake up all by myself in bed on this first day of the summer break.
last night though, i caught my daughter doing some school work! the first batch of the math packet that she has to do the whole summer due for submission as she enters 6th grade! i guess she’s already missing school eh?

my daughter is now a certified cheerleader! yay! this is her very first ever cheerleading stint and so i am glad that she is truly enjoying the new activity. it’ll also be something to help her get busy during the upcoming summer months together with their karate classes. something to keep me busy too, i should say…playing chauffer, that is!:)
she has a lot to learn, i know. still a little awkward and shy during the tryouts and practices…but with her natural flexibility and interest in dancing, i am positive she’ll get the hang of it soon.
these are some on the side shots. with C and his old and new pals.

…that while i was sleeping [sort of] nursing a flu, ‘wine’ flu [that is according to my neighbor Stel]…my daughter S was concocting this facial mask.
at alam nyo rin ba na ito ay gawa sa kalahating avocado…the other half, kinain ko hehe!
at isang carrot.
a little bit of EVOO, honey and cream… and voila! instant @ home pampering by-from-with my dear sweet dalaginding…

Ingredients for a great facial are no further away than your own refrigerator. Avocado and carrots may sound like something healthy to eat, but then when blended together, they make a wonderful facial for dry or mature skin. The vitamin E in the avocado, combined with the antioxidants and beta-carotene in the carrot, will improve your skin’s texture and tone and fade age spots.

Last Tuesday we went to our very first fly-up day to one of the 2 Middle Schools that my daughter is choosing or rather waiting for confirmation where she will be moving up to 6th grade. The first one, Atlantic Middle School is supposedly our second choice, both mine and my daughter’s. This is so because of influences from other parents alike and even classmates, and that’s it. Never giving the school a chance to know more about it and after that day, I was particularly in the middle of changing my mind. Seeing the school for the first time, huge and clean with huge classrooms, clean lunch room, although not so much stuff in the media room, and quite a number of clean and colorful lockers.
Now in my kid’s current school, this isn’t the case. A school locker for me is supposed to be personal, right? They shouldn’t be shared with anybody else. I understand, due to financial reasons sometimes this isn’t possible. But look at what happened to my daughter. She lost her phone that was left inside her locker that she shares with 2 other classmates. I also think that these school lockers should be kept safe with individual and personalized locks to avoid these sad cases of theft.
More than that, I prefer colorful metal lockers over wood lockers. It’s more modern and safety-wise..it is more favorable too. This is something that I should share with the school of my kids especially now that they have a current promotion on high quality lockers for sale at very low prices to help them decide in a more educated manner, when it comes to these things, that is.
…what better way to be a part of this week’s theme at Thematic Photographic but with my most favorite subjects in the whole wide world…my kids! taken during the Mother’s day weekend at the nearby park. simple. fun. family time.
…we covered almost everything that needed to be done including a hair cut for the boys, some summer camp registrations and even gardening and gathered auto insurance recommendations.
This week’s theme…HUMAN. check out Carmi’s page for more details.
A couple or so more months from now and summer is here once again. Last year was spent mostly for my family’s visit. Trips here and there and shopping everywhere! There wasn’t really an opportunity for the kids to attend those much anticipated summer camps. It would be nice if they can get a taste of different activities, particularly physical and recreational activities. Imagine a summer of bugs, tag, water sports or even skiing! A full 10 or even 20 or so days of discovery and training is something that they need at this point instead of sitting in front of the television or the computer the whole day every single day again.
