When it rains..

...PICTURES pour!

All these pictures you are about to see are the result of that typhoon ondoy. Luckily, we were trapped on our flood less home and what we 'worked' on during those nonstop rains were our dripping kitchen and drenched windows.

While watching dvds Yena get my digicam cami and wanted some photos, so here are the rains of photo of my husband and daughter..
Am glad, i had one pose with her. She smiles sweetly everytime her dad is capturing her.. hmmmm i can smell some favoritism already! LOL

Kulitan!

Mommy Moments - My Favorites

For this week's theme of mommy moments as my daughter's favorites i chose this three pics that show her three fave things from among her many favorite things..

I guess she loves all her stuff toys equally but what stands out is her liking to this yellow pillow with a spongebob print. That is her favorite pillow of all! The pillow should be with her before sleeping time or you will hear her endless chit chats of 'abab' 'abab' or spongebob :)
From among her favorite to play with is my wallet. She always gets it at my bag and continuously point at one picture to another saying: daddy, mommy, yeng yeng and so on and so forth :)
Her favorite past time includes watching her barney cd and reading her books. When she feels like reading before going to bed she would get any of her books and say 'mommy read book' and point at every pictures in the book..
Her favorite snacks includes yakult, moo or chuckie chocolait and lychee jelly ace. She knocks the refrigerator and says what she wants.. Her favorite food is rice with any soup. Her favorite expression as of the moment is AYAW (no). AYAW for her is a joke just to tease anybody that's talking to her. Ask her anything and she quickly replies with AYAW, AYAW, AYAW. Which sometimes disappoints me especially if i am asking for a kiss :(

Look who's keeping me company

Yena memorizes all her stuff toys names and almost all of them were gifts for her. She has Chubby the brown bear, Kristine the pink rabbit, Mr Cow the yellow big cow, Dora, Barney and Jollibee. She can name them all now one by one :)
So when my husband and I are at work, we know she has lots of company at home aside from her cousins who live beside us..

Wishing while hugging the violet dinosaur, Barney!

Dora looks very heavy here!

And the mini jollibees that wake her up on saturday mornings!

Big Dora and Barney stuff toys are gifts fromYena's Ninang Liz. Husband and i got the two mini jollibee toys after our jogging time at the market for only $1 each :)

Mommy Moments - Most Treasured Pictures

This is my share on today's theme at Mommy Moments as most treasured pictures. It's hard to choose whose the most treasured from among the many pictures of my daughter, and because i feel like running out of time here's my top 3 picks.. :)

Yena with her favorite playmate on earth- her DADDY!

The woman who loves yena unconditionally til the end.. ;)

Yena's most recent picture with her night time playmate Dora :) I love her mischievous smile in here.. The usual teasing-mommy-look was clearly captured! Belat :D

Package from Japan!

Surprises, i love them! :) So last night when my mother told me i got a package, i almost breakdown (alright, that's exaggeration LOL) but my mind was thinking wild on where and who on earth would surprise me two months before my birthday! :)

So it came from JAPAN! From my very good friend Clarissa of Kizuna. I received her email this morning informing me of this surprise and if only i can transport right away to Japan to give her my hugs and kisses i would! She did great in surprising me by the way.. Thank you so much Clang!

Half undressed and very very excited, i opened the package and there's a loud shout of WOOOOOOOOW from my two audiences. My husband and my daughter Yena shouted in joyful glee upon seeing this... Pretty dress, cutey havaianas slippers, letters and pictures of Clang and her daughters Wakaba and Haruka and an envelope (what's inside it i am not allowed to disclose, love u clang!) She wore the pretty little dress and pose with her stuff toy Dora.. very very happy!

I kept on telling her if i can borrow her havaianas slippers to which she would quickly say AYAW..

My Girls Talk meme is getting a lot of support from girl bloggers, my $3 for Daniel Project has a lot of generous donors from all over the world PLUS this surprise gift from a very dear friend.. Oh my, I am really really blessed! Thank you Lord..

$3 for Daniel

George Daniel Arevalo Samson, 5 months old son of my high school friend Clarissa has biliary atresia with cirrhosis and is in immediate need of liver transplant. The operation has never been done in the Philippines and the doctor’s advice is to go to Taiwan for the cheapest operation of which will cost roughly 3 Million Pesos ($60,000).

Now, no matter how much I feel ashamed for asking help again, there is a must in my heart that says I have to do it for the sake of the child and their family. I am now on my knees, with tears in my eyes knocking on each of your hearts for $3 to help save Daniel’s life...

I know God moves in mysterious ways and I have faith that the Lord will grant us our fervent wish if we ask in group. I am asking for prayer power and blog power, if you have a blog please spread about this $3 for Daniel Project.

Or you might want to click my paypal donate button at my personal blog's sidebar right away, surely your $3 will bring little Daniel to TAIWAN the soonest possible time!

Thank you very much! God bless your heart!

PS;
Sorry if all my 5 blogs and my husband's blog have the same post for today. There is an urgent NEED for this very worthy cause, time might be running out and we need to send Daniel to Taiwan the soonest possible time. Ty

20 Joyful Months

Our boss of the house is 20 months old today. Last night, she showed all over again her very mischievous side while I was folding our laundry clothes. She kept on saying TUPI (fold) while creating a mess of our clothes. After disturbing my folding time, she started harassing her daddy who was then busy watching DVD. She rest her back on her daddy’s back and make face at me. She spent the night teasing me. That’s what she does best aside from pouting!

She would place her hand on my tummy and endlessly say BABY, BABY. Don’t fret I am not pregnant yet, she does that to everybody and even to herself. She thought every tummy has a baby inside it. So funny because when asked how many baby brother she likes she would show her both hands and show 6 little fingers. :D

She clearly speaks OO (yes) with a very SHARP tongue which is very shameful for a Filipino household. Husband and I would follow up for an OPO (respectful yes in Filipino)which she will follow with a POPO. She now sings bahay kubo and can count from one to ten! She can sing lots of Barney songs and can speak red, orange and yellow and ends it with her famous pout!

I can say having our boss at home for 20 months has been the happiest and I am looking forward to more memorable months with her..

Mommy Moments - Hat Day

For this friday theme, i hunt from old photos of my daughter coz i don't remember her wearing hat. :) I can't be any happier when i found a few ihhhhh :)

One thing that my daughter hates are those things i put on her head, and that includes HAT. She only wears them when i tell her we are going out, she loves hearing LET's GO so she would wear them for a few moment :)

This is my 7 months old Yena with her cousin Kathy.

Proud at 10 months old, cousin Patchik was the one holding her here.

13 months old and excited to go out and play..

Does this hood counts? This is her photo on husband's first father's day. Isn't that the sweetest smile for her daddy? She is just 5 months here..

There are a lot of proud moms already at Mommy Moments, and we are waiting for you! Join the fun now :)

Look who's wearing orange!

Doesn't she looks like a PONKAN?

Brushing my Teeth

I introduced brushing to Yena when she was 15 months old, i guess that's a little bit late but that's when she showed real interest on brushing. I showed her her toothbrush way before her first birthday, but she kept on brushing things, the poor toothbrush accumulates dirt :D

At 18 months, she would ask for her toothbrush when she saw me or husband brushing our teeth. She would say tuu brush (tooth brush) and tuu pays (tooth paste) over and over again until you give her what she wants. Here's her picture one night when she tried to brush her teeth.and here's what i like listening over and over again,

Barney's Brushing my Teeth lyrics :)

Oh I'm brushing my teeth on top,
it's so much fun I hate to stop,
but while I'm brushing my teeth and having so much fun,
I never let the water run. No I never let the water run.

Oh, I'm brushing my teeth on the bottom,
cuz I wouldn't wanna say that I forgot em',
but while I'm brushing my teeth and having so much fun,
I never let the water run. No, I never let the water run.

Oh I'm brushing my teeth in back,
gotta get rid of all the plaque,
but while I'm brushing my teeth and having so much fun
I never let the water run. No I never let the water run.

Oh I'm brushing my teeth all around,
cuz I like to hear the squishing sound,
but while I'm brushing my teeth and having so much,
I never let the water run. Oh never let the water run.

Scared of Rides?

That's yena crying!

She likes riding them when it isn't working but it will be another story when it started it's up and down motion. She doesn't like them. She is very very nervous :D

Arcade Day!

Last saturday we had our fill of excitement and thrill at Puregold's arcade. Yena had a grand time!

It's fun to see her play bowling..

And endless pressing of the machines, which includes this one..

She wants to drive too! She doesn't like me to touch the steering wheel!

And a pose after losing the basketball with her cousins Eya and Yael!

Here's my share for this week's theme :) I was 33 weeks pregnant with Yena on this picture. Taken on our company christmas party for year 2007.

They WERE our Shoes

but not anymore!

That's my husband's rubber shoes and my violet doll shoes..

Our daughter loves messing around the house. She gets them from the shoe rack and wears them. When asked 'Who owns that shoes' she would reply - AKEN! (mine)

So don't be surprise to see me and my husband walking bare footed soon!

Jump for Joy!

Yena loves being thrown up and away! But only her daddy can do such, i cannot carry her longer because of her weight. She is really getting heavier each day.

If only i can capture her endless giggles after each jump. She has such a lovely laugh.. And she talks so much nowadays. Talking to her is pure joy!
