movie date

sheloy — Sat, 19 Jun 2010 09:20:55 +0000

Being able to watch movies at the cinema is rare these days since S was born. Today, I had a movie date with E to watch Toy Story 3. They had an advance screening for the movie for visa cardholders and with Ichi on baby duty, E & I were off to the movies. I really loved the movie and so did E. When asked which of the three Toy Story movie he liked the most, his answer was ALL! haha!

Here is a link to slashfilm’s article (http://www.slashfilm.com/2010/06/18/toy-story-3-easter-eggs/)on easter eggs in the movie, if you haven’t watched it then some of the stills might be considered spoilers but the site says that most of the photos pictured are already on the internet or those that were used in the movies promos.

kindy bbq

Last Sunday we went to the kindy BBQ over at E’s school. It was organised by the school parents for all the kindy and new families this school year. In an effort to make the families at least be “familiar” with each other, after all we will be going through the same journey for the next7 years. The RSVP was due a little more than a week before the BBQ with the class parents also organising an order for the BBQ lunch. A few days before the event though, we got a note back saying that with the number of RSVPs that was received it would now be a BYO picnic and they returned the monies for the BBQ order. As it turns out only 11 out of the 80 kindy families expressed interest in coming to the get together. I mean, how low a turn out is that?! Most of the families that went were those of E’s class (KR) and KP (kindy purple). There were a few from the other class too. It was good though, we got to meet some of the other parents of E’s classmates and got to chat. It is just sad that not a lot really took the time for it. Granted that it was a Sunday but still. Anyways, it was a good afternoon.

sibling love

One thing that is really lovely to see is the love between the kiddies. I know Sab is just a few months old but it is pretty evident. She just adores her ahia and I think as early as now she’s pretty attached to him. He is the only one that can make her really laugh out loud, without even trying hard and with just all sorts of silly things. These are pictures taken about a couple weeks after Sab was born.

A dear friend is celebrating her birthday today and what a wonderful day for her as she just gave birth a few weeks ago to a beautiful baby girl – baby Mya. Really just in time to make Mother’s day and her birthday wonderful.

Happy birthday Marie! Enjoy your special day. We love you!

right to suffrage

sheloy — Mon, 10 May 2010 23:50:43 +0000

Yesterday, millions of Filipinos trooped to the polling places to exercise their right to suffrage. With us presently being in a another country, sadly we were not able to do so. A lot has been written about this particular election from the different candidates to it being the first automated polls of the country. But one thing is for sure, we need change. Our generation may not feel the change now but if there really is, our kids and their kids would be the recipients so I really hope it’s a positive one. And that the country doesn’t go from worse to really worse. Ooh, one good thing about this election is that we’ve heard and read lots of news that even though there were kinks in the automated polling process with some machines bogged down very early in the morning, you can see the people’s desire for the change, they waited in looong queues for hours just to be able to vote. Mabuhay!

Ok, back to regular programming now …

one more day

sheloy — Sun, 18 Apr 2010 09:02:57 +0000

Just one more day and E will start term 2. It will be a bit of a challenge as we try to nail down a routine with me having to bring sab along whenever I drop or pick up E from school. The entire first term, I didn’t have to do that as my parents-in-law were visiting so it was just easy to leave sab at home with them. Now though, I wonder how I’ll fare with the whole thing, well it is just an adjustment and I’m sure (and I hope real quick) it will feel and be a normal thing to do as the days pass.

our silly boy

sheloy — Tue, 10 Nov 2009 14:11:07 +0000

While waiting for baby girl to come out, I decided to make a layout for these set of pictures. Took some time to come up with one though, between being busy with preparations for baby girl and being really tired and lazy most of the time (haha!) during this pregnancy.

These pics were taken one August afternoon. E was in a good mood that Ichi got him to pose for the pics real easy.
