Happy Birthday Maki-Boy!

Five years old na si Maki nung August 14. Last month pa excited na sya sa birthday nya. Hindi na nya malaman kung anong gift ang gusto nya pero nuon pa alam na nya na ang theme ng party nya dapat SpongeBob. So nag party kami sa school. Super favorite nya talaga si Spongebob. Kaya naman ginawa ko sya ng cake na Spongebob. Grabe ah, kalahating araw kong dinecorate yang cake na yan. So proud sya nung binuksan ko na yung box ng cake nya at pinagkaguluhan ng mga bata na nung una eh ayaw nyang pahawakan sa mga kids. Katuwa talaga si Maki.
Happy birthday Maki, I love you!

Ito nga pala si Isabel, favorite classmate nya. According to Maki, "Isabel is nice Mom because she copies our lessons in the blackboard for me when i'm tired na of writing." Parang may secretary ang dating nya. Medyo mabagal pa kasi syang magsulat, eh pag Prep na kasi ang dami ng kinokopya sa blackboard. Buti na lang may mga batang katulad ni Isabel.

I'm back!!! As usual busy

I'm back!!! As usual busy sa kung ano anong mga activities. Exam week na ng mga bata kaya medyo hectic. Halos inagiw na itong blog ko sa tagal ng di ko pagbisita...anyways...share ko na lang sa inyo itong mga words of wisdom ng mga kids.

Pancho says...

(minsan isang gabi, natahimik sya sabay tanong nya sa akin...)
Mom, when i'm thinking about you in my brain can you feel it?

(minsan naman pag nasa drama mode sya)
Buti na lang I have a mom like you....because you're better than all the moms in the world and i like you better than any mom because you're prettier than all of the moms.

Maki says...

(habang kamot ng kamot at nangungunsumi)
Mom the ants keep on biting me, they think I'm their food...because they like to eat me and myself...

(excited na nanonood ng TV, sa sobrang excitement di nya ma organize ang thoughts nya)
MOM! The other one has a new weapon...that's on uhmm Power Rangers..uhmmm Wildforce..uhmmm ...the national premiere...uhmmm...i dunno yet eh..what should i do?

(nung isang gabi nag brownout ng pagkatagal tagal, habang nag rereklamo ako sa brownout kalmado syang nagsasalita..)
I prayed to God already so that there will be electricity, but it's still brownout maybe God is still talking to somebody else.

Basic Photography 101

My brother have been asking me to take up photography lessons with him since he got his new digital SLR camera. So being the "mother hen" that I am, we attended the workshop on basic photography last weekend.I have always been engrossed on taking pictures especially when I had my kids but not to the extent of taking up lessons. It was a big leap for me because the main requirement for the workshop was a 35mm SLR camera or its equivalent. Good for Mox because he just got his digital SLR. But for me it was like going back in time because I have to use a 35mm with manual controls and I've been using a digital camera for more than 2 yrs already (courtesy of ate sienna). But thanks to Renz, Nonong and Melo, our facilitators for the workshop, they opened up a whole new perspective on taking pictures for me.
By the way, at the end of the session we had our mini photo contest wherein we had to submit 2 of our photos. Mox won the first and second place.

Here are the pictures from my first attempt in serious photography.
