I love that Martha’s imagination is wild and creative enough for her to build toy houses from scratch. She even built a doctor’s clinic for her guests (the animals) because the animals got sick after eating at her party daw (food poisoning?) – teehee.
She does this every single night when her big brother is sleeping. She lets all h*ll break loose and can you imagine picking them all up every single night afterwards in addition to household chores, cooking and still needing to work prior to having house help? Just thinking about it stresses me out already – I would need anti wrinkle face cream early.
Lately, she is obsessed with PlayDoh, clay as she calls it. She makes spaghetti and eggs and serves them to her party animals (literally) who are mainstays in her house (she prefers those she sees in Disney movies – see Manny and Sid (Ice Age), lion (Lion King) and cow (Barnyard))
And here is her clinic – she made the arrangements herself. Those are stuff we got from the market for only 50 bucks
These were taken after Martha’s entrance exam in Matthew’s school. Matthew, for merienda, ate 1 pc of chicken + rice, a Twister Toasted and mashed potatoes. Martha ate one bucket of fries and finished her potatoes as well. While she was eating she mustve been really hungry as she told me, “Ma, ang sarap talaga!” I could have laughed so loud!
And chicken trivia for you: Matthew loves chicken skin while Martha only eats the chicken white meat. She doesnt like how the skin tastes in her mouth.
My kids are really easy to please, really. They don’t have the notion on what are nice restaurants and rarely demand toys they want (They are more of I see it I want it, but if I dont see it, I forget about it). So whenever they request things, we try to give it to them. Take note my gauge of giving is them asking for it non stop for 6 months or more That’s my way of knowing if they realllllllly want it. Case in point: Matthew’s PSP and the kids’ new puppy.
Back to how they eat, whenever we go out, we only go to tried and tested restaurants: Jollibee, McDo, Pizza Hut or KFC. Matthew loves rice (like his Dad) that you wont make him happy if I take him to Pancake House or Cafe Breton (which I always want to go to). I see him getting the same risks his Dad and my father-in-law will have, too much cholesterol. This boy can eat two packs of Lapids chicharon in one sitting, same as the princess. They will need medicines to reduce cholesterol when they get older. (At least they are young now).
Oh well, I just hope my kids don’t have diabetic tendencies like me. Judging from their body structure and their eating preferences, I think they go more after their father’s.
The Lolow, Lola, Daed and Mom have this in their wallets. Lolow has Matthew’s pictures from 1-5 years old in his wallet too.
Edil commented how Martha is beginning to look like me (like when did she ever look like her Dad?!). I honestly don’t mind if she got her looks from her father’s side of the family as they are a beautiful lot but I pray that she inherits my good skin or else I would need to invest on a good acne scar removal. I also am going to be having a lot of problems with pimples since I have never encountered that kind of problem when I was a teenager. (Being fat yes, but no pimples!)
Right now:
I gave up Facebook and Twitter for Lent. That is the hardest thing for me to do, but two weeks from quitting, I am more productive and have more time in my hands. I am thinking I might need to do this all the way.
I now have an iPhone – which to this day I have not fully used yet. I am too busy and swamped with work to set aside time to play with it.
We now have househelp. And everyday I send a prayer of gratitude for her.
I also have a printer, which I got for free. This makes me absurdly happy.
Work has been so rewarding the past months. Plus I haven’t shopped online since 2010. Savings have started to become more real, and for once, Im not having tension headaches because of the upcoming enrollments of my kids. Thank You Looooorrrd!
Here is a little bit of trivia for you: We don’t subscribe to newspapers at home. We also do not watch the news. It’s always cartoons for us 24 hours, almost seven days a week. I keep abreast with everything through the Internet, and I rarely read new sites not unless there is an international tragedy like earthquakes and tsunamis. I do, however, keep abreast with all things about celebrities and their latest everything – clothes, shoes, bags, latest splits, latest movies, latest hook-ups and what nots. You can say I live and breathe hollywood news. It is my way to relax and unwind after a stressful day at work. I also use it to take a breather writing articles almost eight hours a day.
So you can assume I have read about the latest reviews on the upcoming movies before they are show out in the market, know what albums the current singers are recording and most of all, are familiar with what celebrities wore to the Emmy’s and Oscar’s and the bags they use on a daily basis based on the pictures of paparazzis.
So I am fed up with Lindsay Lohan and her never ending split and getting back together with Sam Ronson. I swear this girl is heading the way of Britney Spears, before she made a smashing comeback. I am always amazed how Victoria Beckham always has the BIGGEST sunglasses and that she wears 4 inch heels and a stifling outfit when riding on a plan! I love reading and looking at the celebrity kids though. It makes the celebrities more human for me – how Jennifer Garner always picks up Violet in her preschool and how Katie Holmes Cruise tags Suri along everywhere. (Don’t you agree Suri is such a little lady? This girl has fashion sense!)
That would not be us!
Most kids in school are now officially on summer vacation. Mine still has a week to go (up to Thursday actually) before he can finally call it vacation. It will end with their Recognition Day – hoping my son is included!) Most of my friends have already booked their family trip to the beach. I am still holding out on this as we need to prioritize the kids’ enrollment and summer classes (more on that later). We have temporary plans to go on Martha’s 4th birthday but nothing is written in stone yet. Truth be told, I am terrified of the beach! I always fear something bad will happen like a tsunami or a drowning accident. Give me a pool anytime.
It won’t stop me from dreaming on someday being able to go and experience an all inclusive Caribbean resort. The Caribbean is famous for it all inclusive beach resorts, like Breezes Resorts, which has beautiful resorts in Bahamas, Jamaica, Curacao and Brazil. You may not catch me swimming in the beach but I would definitely be enjoying the shore and discovering the world-class amenities these resorts has to offer. When you talk about all inclusive caribbean vacations , you immediately think rest and recreation. I think spa and tan lines!
That is what Hedonism Resort is – melting pot and meeting point for looking for fun single adults. Situated in Negril and Runaway Bay, Jamaica, it is the most preferred resort for adult vacations. Where else can you do what you want whenever you like? You can stay up late, sleep all day, not sleep at all – drink all you want, drink while the sun is out, go skinny dipping (Yes, there is a nudist resort!). It is perfect place to have the time of your life for a singles vacation! You can avail of their day or night passes.
