Halloween 2012

Since Trick or Treat was no longer in our list, the Halloween Party at the DancePull Studio was our only halloween activity this year.

Mabe finally gave in to do the scary make-up. She's a vampire. (ruffled white polo shirt and black tiered skirt:thrifted hehehe)

A late Happy Halloween greetings to everyone!

Adieu Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat no more for my girl. 

She just said no and that's it. 

I know this moment will come. The time your child drops everything that is kiddie. ugh.

It has been four years of fun and memorable trick or treating with you Mabe. I enjoyed it as much as you do :)

Adieu Trick or Treat!

Ballet experience with Victor Ursabia

Last weekend has been a good experience and a busy one for Mabe. She finished the 3-day workshop with ballet master, Victor Ursabia. The workshop was held at the DancePull studio and ended with a short culmination program and photo exhibit opening at the Negros Museum.

the fans of...

Mabe and her classmates this morning. All cheering for Misaki. 

School activities and stuff until tomorrow, which means...NO CLASS. Yey!

Korean Thursday

Yesterday we tried some korean treats.

Mabe asked me in between bites of her ice cream sandwich, 'ma, how come you know where to eat?'. 

It's good to know she liked simple and less chaotic food places like me...and she wants to come back for the noodles :)

Have a great weekend everyone!

Today

Finally. Performance Day. 

What's keeping me the last couple of days...

All the time for my kiddo.

Last Sunday

So much drama. sigh.

Here comes June...here comes RAIN!

Here comes June, welcomed by a heavy pouring rain this morning. I've been sleeping like a log lately and with this kind of weather, bed is my bestfriend.

I saw Mabe enjoying the rain outside so I grabbed my camera and capture the moment, then all of a sudden, rain stopped. It's an off and on kind of heavy rains. The weather update says the whole weekend will be like this. 

How I wish the weather on wednesday gets better. I don't want a bumpy plane ride with Mabe but I don't mind a rainy and wet vacation in Baguio. I love Baguio more when its raining, it reminds me of my stay there in mid-90s, studying for a semester.

Outside, the skies above is still heavy and gloomy, some parts of the country is under signal number 1. Tropical Storm Ambo, now looming around the country is estimated to leave on the 4th of June. 

Okay, now I want to go back in bed!

A bedweather evening everyone :)

Flores de Mayo: Santacruzan

Held in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary, Flores de Mayo is a one month festival that ends with a Santacruzan. A religio-historical beauty pageant held in many cities, towns, and even in small communities throughout the Philippines during the month of May. One of the most colourful aspects of this festival, the pageant depicts the finding of the Holy Cross by Queen Helena, mother of Constantine the Great.

My daughter for the first time, experienced and saw what Santacruzan was all about here in our small community.

What a wonderful experience for Mabe and I, and that ends the month of May for us.
