She is a very pretty girl, with a happy heart just like me. But she has a problem with her eyes. Can you see what it is? Yes, she is a little cross-eyed and since she is still very young, her pediatrician said that this can still be corrected with eyeglasses. I am sure these &lt;a href="http://www.magicoptical.com/"&gt;kids glasses with plastic frames&lt;/a&gt; will be perfect for her. I should tell Tita Luisa about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.magicoptical.com/demo/magicoptical/images/img_p/GSKAC006/img_atfull_400_200.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 206px; height: 103px;" src="http://www.magicoptical.com/demo/magicoptical/images/img_p/GSKAC006/img_atfull_400_200.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Ehana has a very playful nature. She runs around a lot and has tons of energy to jump, bump, skip and hop. It is amazing really, I couldn't keep up with her. Of course, I was still too small then and could not walk yet. I just crawl after her. So maybe she could also use a pair of&lt;a href="http://www.magicoptical.com/"&gt; impact-resistant children glasses&lt;/a&gt; so that Tita Luisa won't have to buy her a pair often each time her eyeglasses break. Or Tita Luisa can also choose &lt;a href="http://www.magicoptical.com/"&gt;kids glasses with resin and PC lenses&lt;/a&gt;. They come in funky colors too. Just perfect for kids.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I think Ehana is three years old now and she must already be going to Kindergarten. I hope I can see her again, prettier than ever before because her vision has already been corrected. I wonder if she has already started her treatment and is now wearing eyeglasses... Hmmm... I should ask Tita Luisa to send me a photo of Ehana wearing her eyeglasses, then.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/358/1266BDD3E90389D3190F603C4238F59E.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4199449743497185287-4860210087732201006?l=syppera.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://syppera.blogspot.com/2009/11/ehanas-need-for-eyeglasses.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Samantha Ysabelle)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199449743497185287.post-6679999903331239095</guid><pubDate>Tue, 03 Nov 2009 06:41:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-11-03T08:13:35.242+01:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">friendship</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">baby photos</category><title>Praying with Friends</title><description>&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;Last Friday, I was astonished to find our house filled with our new friends. You should all note that I am not used to seeing many people in our house since there is only me and my Mommy during the day and only the three of us on weekends and evenings. So I was really surprised. I even hid in the kitchen for a while when they started showing up because I was shy. I am not so familiar with some of the faces though but when Nanay Cata showed up and then Tante Liza, I began to warm up and be my usual self. Unlike in the old days and in some conservative families in the Philippines when children were asked to stay and hide in their rooms when guests are around, the usual custom here in Germany is to introduce the children to the guests and are expected to also entertain them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs090.snc3/15768_164510940938_725965938_2879644_6337766_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs110.snc3/15768_164510900938_725965938_2879636_6624555_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 193px; height: 127px;" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs110.snc3/15768_164510900938_725965938_2879636_6624555_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs090.snc3/15768_164510870938_725965938_2879631_3519282_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 192px; height: 127px;" src="http://photos-a.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs090.snc3/15768_164510870938_725965938_2879631_3519282_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs090.snc3/15768_164510850938_725965938_2879627_5522833_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 178px;" src="http://photos-e.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs090.snc3/15768_164510850938_725965938_2879627_5522833_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs110.snc3/15768_164510890938_725965938_2879634_1117450_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 120px; height: 178px;" src="http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs110.snc3/15768_164510890938_725965938_2879634_1117450_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;My Mommy and Daddy were happy to see me mingling and charming our guests.

He says that they hurt especially his left eye because he works in front of the computer a lot. I wish I could give him something for Christmas like those &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php?cat=29"&gt;New Arrivals&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; eyeglasses so that his eyes won't hurt anymore. I like the &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Pure Titanium Full Rim Frame with Spring Hinge&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;. It is made of pure Titanium but is very light weight, my Daddy won't even notice he is wearing one.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://zennioptical.com/cart/d_11879.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 323px; height: 96px;" src="http://zennioptical.com/cart/d_11879.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Or I could find him a very affordable &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php?cat=20"&gt;$8 Prescription Zenni Glasses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;      since he won't be using it much anyway. I could also go for a more funky and Christmas feel by giving him one of those &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://zennioptical.com/cart/home.php?cat=31"&gt;Holiday Fun Eyeglasses&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt; but I think those are not his type. They are more to my taste but since I won't be needing them yet, the Titanium one will do. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I do hope Santa is reading this.

I'd rather she leave it alone. But sometimes, I have to give in to her wishes just to make her happy.

Meet my friend Francisca or Franci (pronounced as &lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(102, 0, 204); font-weight: bold;"&gt;Fran-si&lt;/span&gt;). She is two years older than me but we are very close.

We only see each other once a week, every Friday during the Novena for Sto. Nino because we live far away from each other. When I am not around, she would ask, "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 51, 153); font-style: italic;"&gt;Wo ist Samantha&lt;/span&gt;?" (&lt;span style="font-style: italic; color: rgb(51, 51, 255);"&gt;Where is Samantha&lt;/span&gt;?) She used to call me Semanta when I was still new here but now she knows how to say my name correctly. How about that?&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here are our photos during the Rosary Fest last Saturday. She would always look after me and we would chase each other at the hall's corridor. When I was without a dancing partner, she would take my hand and dance with me. We really had a lot of fun!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs224.snc1/7118_155434695938_725965938_2791047_919354_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 176px;" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs224.snc1/7118_155434695938_725965938_2791047_919354_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs224.snc1/7118_155435435938_725965938_2791156_5722558_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 176px;" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs224.snc1/7118_155435435938_725965938_2791156_5722558_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center; font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs204.snc1/7118_155435270938_725965938_2791138_1571721_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 266px; height: 176px;" src="http://photos-c.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs204.snc1/7118_155435270938_725965938_2791138_1571721_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs224.snc1/7118_155435015938_725965938_2791100_2208723_n.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="cursor: pointer; width: 265px; height: 176px;" src="http://photos-d.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc1/hs224.snc1/7118_155435015938_725965938_2791100_2208723_n.jpg" alt="" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I did enjoy my day at the fest even though it was raining.

And with December comes the Christmas season, that special time of the year when everything is cheery, merry and bright. In my part of the world, it is also going to be a white Christmas, with the snow and all. And so it is time again to save up as early as now so that it will be a happy holiday.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;It is still October and yet our &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" href="http://financialplan.about.com/od/savingmoney/a/HeatingCosts.htm"&gt;heating&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; system is already working, that's how cold it is here. And it is going to be another additional expense. That's why we see to it that we use it only when we can't bear the cold anymore. We would wear our jackets inside the house to save on heating costs. We know this isn't the COLD that people are talking about. Brrrr.... will we be able to endure the winter season? I hope so.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;My mom is already making up her shopping list and trying to budget everything so that we will have a happy Christmas. She worries that we won't have enough money for Christmas and so she is being frugal about a lot of things lately and is also considering getting a &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" href="http://www.paydayone.com/"&gt;payday loan&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; should we go over budget. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I always hear her saying how important it is that we have available funds during the winter holidays so that we will enjoy it. I think she meant about the shopping and the Christmas and New Year's feast that is a Filipino tradition. It would be no fun to go to the Christmas market and just look, right? And Christmas Eve and New Year's Eve would not be complete without a banquet. Also, we are planning to spend it at my Dad's brother in London and that would mean we also need to save for our travel expenses. She says I have to be a good girl too so that Santa Claus will give me &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);" href="http://familyfun.go.com/arts-and-crafts/season/specialfeature/holiday_gifts_ms/"&gt;presents&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; this year. But I am a good girl. I wish this year will be as happy as last year. It need not be a grand celebration though. Being with my family and spending the holidays with them is more than enough.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/358/1266BDD3E90389D3190F603C4238F59E.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4199449743497185287-523873547582200746?l=syppera.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://syppera.blogspot.com/2009/10/christmas-and-me.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Samantha Ysabelle)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199449743497185287.post-2855575028128880589</guid><pubDate>Fri, 16 Oct 2009 07:03:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-10-16T09:20:18.918+02:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">playtime</category><title>Little Animals</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;I love my little animals toys.

Because I am such a very good girl!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;We went to my pediatrician (&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic; font-family: trebuchet ms; color: rgb(153, 51, 153);"&gt;Kinderartz&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;) today for my vaccination. The sky was dark and it threatened of a heavy rain that Mommy was praying loudly that it won't rain. Perhaps she was also secretly dancing the SUN-DANCE while she was taking a bath this morning just so it won't pour! Hihihi!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Anyway, we came it at 10:30AM and we were promptly ushered into the examining room. My doctor asked a few standard questions that doctors normally ask before having a vaccination. Like if I was sick, do I have a temperature, stuff like that. Then he checked my lungs and heart and breathing with his stethoscope, which I am already accustomed to because Mommy and I play doctor-patient sometimes. Then he checked my ears and then my mouth. Everything was okay and normal.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Then came the vaccination. Mommy held me in her lap and the doctor pricked my left arm with the injection needle. And I never cried nor wailed. I flinched a bit from the pain when the vaccine was injected but that was all. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;My doctor was surprised too because I was very quiet. Most little children like me normally would wail and throw a fit! &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: trebuchet ms;"&gt;Then Mommy hugged me tight, gave me a gentle pat and said, "&lt;span style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(51, 102, 102);"&gt;Very good girl!&lt;/span&gt;" I guess I made her really proud!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: trebuchet ms;" href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/358/1266BDD3E90389D3190F603C4238F59E.png" style="border: 0pt none  ! important; background: transparent none repeat scroll 0% 0%; -moz-background-clip: border; -moz-background-origin: padding; -moz-background-inline-policy: continuous;" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4199449743497185287-574472991217749587?l=syppera.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://syppera.blogspot.com/2009/09/i-made-my-mommy-proud-today.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Samantha Ysabelle)</author><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">6</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199449743497185287.post-4579583598558143604</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Sep 2009 09:04:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-09-14T11:20:39.026+02:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">baby photos</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">antics</category><title>Why Am I Wearing Mommy's Shoes?</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Hello everyone!

But it has more to it than that. Balaclavas are worn to keep away the chilling cold, and is used also by racing drivers as added protection and so that sweat won't make their helmets smelly.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.mylivesignature.com/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: 0px; BORDER-TOP: 0px; BACKGROUND: none transparent scroll repeat 0% 0%; BORDER-LEFT: 0px; BORDER-BOTTOM: 0px" src="http://signatures.mylivesignature.com/54486/358/1266BDD3E90389D3190F603C4238F59E.png" /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4199449743497185287-6708306563587857784?l=syppera.blogspot.com'/&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</description><link>http://syppera.blogspot.com/2009/09/wheres-helmet.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Samantha Ysabelle)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_NkkkhX1Vhbo/Squph78NVLI/AAAAAAAANms/FDl_BXHMeO8/s72-c/DSC_0008.JPG" height="72" width="72" /><thr:total xmlns:thr="http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0">1</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4199449743497185287.post-1061601388931380620</guid><pubDate>Wed, 26 Aug 2009 23:57:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2009-08-27T08:48:56.562+02:00</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">toddler years</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">baby photos</category><title>Hair Clips</title><description>&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;Don't I look cute and girly in my hair clips?

Mommy and Daddy brought me in for my immunization. I was playing while we were waiting for my Daddy. My ever forgetful Mommy forgot to bring with us my blue book, which records all my immunizations and medical check-ups. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;I had two shots that day. One for Hepatitis and the other for Polio. The next one will be on September 15th. It was pretty quick and I was surprised that I only cried after all the shots were given. And I cried only for a while. I can easily be consoled with words, unlike some children who take some time before they calm down. I didn't get any rashes nor had any fever too! I guess my parents are lucky because of that.
