Her First "Star"

Due to her eagerness to go to school, we decided to enroll her in the Nursery class. And yesterday, her second day in school, Thea received her very first star.

As I arrive home, she immediately show me her notebook with a star stamped on her first activity. As you can see, it is a picture of a girl with some text that goes something like this: "I am Thea. I am a girl. I am 3 years old". Pupils were asked to color them, and that' what she did.

I sent an SMS to Hubby telling him of little one's first achievement. :) As a reward, he promised to buy her a Vtech Educational laptop. She'll have to wait for few more months though. I, on the other hand, made her happy through her favorite adobo I cooked for dinner, haha.

Congrats anak, Papa and Mama are so proud of you!

More Photos...

As promised here are additional photos taken last June 12.

The Little Lady in Dazzling Yellow Gown

This is one of the reasons that the mommy here has been so busy during the past couple of weeks. Thea was one of the flower girls during France and Cristy’s wedding last June 12. Btw, Cristy is Hubby’s niece. Perhaps, the newly-weds decided to get married on a holiday (Philippine Independence Day) for us to have ample time to travel all the way up North.

It was such an exciting event especially for the little one. Look at her in these photos. Isn’t she stunning in that yellow gown? haha. She really loved that gown; she even kept on saying that she look like Taylor Swift in her “Love Story” music video (laughs).

I’ll post more photos once I copied those from my SIL’s digicam.

Birthdays = Fun

This photo was taken last Saturday, during my supervisor’s son 7th Birthday Party. I helped her turn the plastic cups up - one of the mechanics of game. She joined almost all of the kiddie games. She did enjoyed the party, and the french fries too. lolz

Unhappy Customer

I left the office at exactly 5pm yesterday to get some groceries at the nearby supermarket. I opted to visit the newly-opened supermarket near our place. Unfortunately, my excitement was replaced by disappointment due to their poor customer service. And this is what happened:

On our way to the cashier, my daughter picked up 3 packs of Gummy Candies at the Snacks Section. Guess how much these candies cost me? Php130 each!!! I discovered the amount while reviewing the receipt at home, for I was a bit doubtful of the total cost of the 3 bags of groceries I bought. So, I hurriedly went back to the supermarket to complain about their mistake. They said that the item is being sold per box of 20’s. How come they have displayed said items by single pack??? They declared that a box might be mistakenly opened by a customer. I want those items replaced by other useful ones instead of a letting my child consume 3 boxes of candies, my goodness! Since, my daughter already consumed one of those candies; it was good as sold, the supervisor said. Good thing I was able to hold my temper and agreed to them to finish the argument. At the end of our conversation, they returned the total amount Php260 to be converted into other items in their supermarket. I bought 2pcs of light bulbs that I could use at home. Most probably, I’ll remember this terrible grocery shopping experience as long as those bulbs are functioning.

The moral of the story: Always check the prices of each item you purchase and don’t be afraid to complain.

My message to the supermarket operators: Train your staff well, especially the cashiers!

Flower Girl

One month from now, my Hubby's niece will be walking down the aisle as she get married to the love of her life. The wedding ceremonies as well as the reception will take place in Cabanatuan City on June 12.

And what does the title of this post implies? Yeah, you're right! My daughter Thea is part of the entourage - as one of the flower girls. I already texted her measurement for the gown to my SIL. We all wish that she would not get cranky, sleepy or whateever during the wedding. Well, I don't think so. She's so excited on being a flower girl for the very first time teehee. In fact, she's practicing how to walk almost everyday since the day we told her that she's part of the entourage.

I will be celebrating my birthday on the 24th of this month. I'll just prepare something for the folks at home and might take Thea to the mall, and that's it... another year older...I wish for good health for my family and loved ones, and hope to survive the graduate school challenges all the way to earning Master in Technology Management (MTM) degree :D

The'a 3rd Birthday

The little one celebrated her 3rd birthday last Saturday. Few of her playmates came as well as some of my officemates… I prepared plain spaghetti with meat balls, chicken lollipop, spring rolls, hotdog on stick and fruit salad. The birthday girl was really excited about her Backyardigans-inspired party. She entertained her guests by non-stop giggling, dancing, and saying thank-you’s every time a guest handed a present for her.

Even though Papa is not present during this once in a lifetime occasion, the two talked for several minutes over the phone, few hours before the party.

Here are some of the photos during the simple get-together…
