Preparing for June Hector’s 3rd Birthday Party

Today was a very busy day! Let’s start from this …

I slept past 3 in the morning, and

Mother Dear: B-Girl Wake-up! You’re driving Hannah to school, it’s the first day of school and it is already 7:00am.

Jun Hannah: Mommy wake-up!

-Awake-

Jun Hannah: Mommy call Daddy.

-Dialed number and give phone to Hannah-

Father and Daughter conversing on the phone.

-Stood up, opened the door.-

Jun Hannah: Mommy, Daddy will talk to you.

Me: Hi, I just woke up and I need to change. Mom is already angry. I am driving Hannah to school.

Hannah’s Dad: Ok.

-Phone down, changed, drive- YES WALANG LIGO … eeeww

7:30 am to 1:00 pm = DRIVER, Yaya, Assistant, Delivery, etc

Upon arriving home, I started working on making props and costumes for June Hector’s 3rd Bday.

• Aang’s glider. Finished by 6 pm
• Toph’s headband. Finished by 8 pm
• June Hector’s 3rd cake design: Printed pictures to show to the cake-maker. Finished by 10 pm

It was already late so my kids was already asleep and I need to bring them in our room, but first I took a bath.

• Jun Hannah sleeping on sala floor. Picked her up, with all the strength left in me (38 kilos). Started climbing the stairs … 1, 2, 3 (PANTING) – Hannah woke up. “Oh, good baby could you climb the stair and go to our room?” Hannah started walking, went to the bed and continue to sleep.
• June Hector sleeping in the guest room. Picked him up and went upstairs into our room and put him in bed.
• Put diapers on both kids and let them drink their milk even while they were sleeping.

Now, 11 pm and I need to sleep for tomorrow will be another long day.

My Kids are my Lucky Charms

I thank God for my kids and for the fact He has given me a boy and a girl which is more than a person could ever ask. Some people say that my life is already complete having them, but I don’t feel the same way. Hey, I am only 28 years old and I have full life ahead of me and I feel that life would be better with a partner, not just friends but someone you could have and hold for a lifetime. Perhaps someone who could accept the whole of me and that of course includes my children. It is not hard to find that “someone” because I know a lot of people accept me for who I am because I don’t pretend to be someone I am not; as my friend would state it, I am the kind of person that is “what you see, is what you get.” Though longing for a partner, not having one is not a loss for me. I have my blogs, TV, movies, friends, family and most especially my kids to fill up my day to day life.

Recently, I have been busy planning for the 3rd Birthday of my son. I do it way ahead of time because for me it is the least I could do for them; to make them enjoy their birthday. It would be such a heartbreak if I can’t give them a party they wanted. They are my lucky charms, they win almost every contest they join and had opened me to some powerful connections (wink-wink).

For Jun Hannah, she won : iPod Touch at Toblerone’s contest and Php 5,000 Gift Certificate from SM for Bunny contest

For Jun Hector, he won: Php 3,000 Jollibee Gift Certificate for Jollibee Dinagyang contest and recently a Milkita Promo give-away for his birthday

They are my precious ones

Sibling Rivalry

I have a cousin whom my parents adopted, not legally, but they are the ones who took care of him since he was two months old. Also, I have a cousin whom I treated like my sister, but I never had a 100% sibling. With that said, I had no idea what sibling rivalry is. Yes, my cousins and I would have our fights, but everyone fights right?

I would like to share what happened yesterday and today.

Yesterday, as I arrived home from work, my son welcomed me with a hug (as usual) but then our helper approached me and said, “Hannah and Hector had a fight.” She then pointed to me the mark of their fight.

My poor little one. Then, I saw my daughter. She have some marks on her as well.

I know both of them fight, but this was the first time they have injuries because of it. I keep on telling Hannah (age 4) not to fight with her brother Hector (age 2) because she is the older one, I expect she follows my order. Hannah, had a hard time following instructions, in fact she does what she is told not to do.

I had my long sleep this morning, and when I woke up the afternoon, I was shocked to see the face of my son. New wound!

I immediately asked the helper what happened and she told me while she was preparing for the milk, Hannah got a hold of Hector and had an accident.

I do not know what to do with this. Either I believe it was an accident, or she intentionally got back on her brother because she had 2 scars on their previous fight and Hector only had 1.

However, I should tell you Hannah is always on her brothers side. Whenever my Mom would discipline Hector, Hannah would be in front of her and saying, “You’re bad Lola Mommy, why are you shouting at Hector,” and Hector does the same thing, or he would just cry when Hannah is being disciplined and crying. They love each other, want proof? Here are the pics I shot today, after seeing those fresh wound on Hector’s face.

Don’t you just love it when kids act like this?

First Sunday of November 2008

Sunday is always a family day for us. We go to church then to a mall for the kids to enjoy. My kids really love it when we travel or go to a mall.

Today, my mom was not able to accompany us because she prefers to play tong-its than to go to church.

Here are our pics at the mall.
