Celebrating My 1st Birthday

Today is my 1st Birthday, I am now a full pledge toddler (yippee!!). It's going to be a very exciting day for me and my parents. They were busy preparing for my birthday celebration, sleepless nights, calling one supplier after another, watching tens of videos of different party host, finding venue and all other stuff needed for my birthday. After two or three months of planning, all are set. (dad's note: LCD Projector, anyone???)

For now, I am still mastering the art of walking, I could make a step or two but still hesitating to make a few more step.

Thank you Lord for all the blessings. Thank you Lord for making me happy each day with my friends and family.

It's party!!! time.

Have a nice day to all,

Costume Fitting and More

Five more days to go before my 1st Birthday but there are more things to be done (dad's note: finally, everything is set after two grueling months, my back is aching so is my feet). I was so busy last weekend in preparation for my upcoming party.

We woke up as early as 5:30 to hear Mass at the Monasterio de Sta. Clara (see dad's blog site) in Katipunan where we also offer the traditional eggs for good weather (yellow cellophane). I wrote my own petition and thanksgiving. After hearing Mass, I practiced walking around the vicinity until my parents were tired.

Right after our short stay at Monasterio de Sta. Clara, we visited my grandmother and enjoyed our breakfast with them then we proceeded to our mananahi (tailor or fashion designer) (who incidentally made the gowns of my parents' secondary sponsor) to fit my costume. It is indeed beautiful! , I like it a lot (dad's note: you did a great job once again, manang).

After the costume fitting, we went home and slept for a while while my dad went to the market to buy for our food for this week (dad's note: after eating, I went to Divisoria* to buy more fancy hats and wigs). The moment dad arrived from Divisoria we tried all the fancy hats, wigs (see my photo below) and eyeglasses for a few minutes of fun and pictorials. We end the day by making the finishing touches on my party favors (No loot bags this time for kids but instead a usable item for them).

It was indeed a very tiring day for us and we only hope that all things will go smoothly as planned. Ahh!?, I can't wait to see my friends on Saturday.

*Divisoria-is the mecca of valued shopping and Manila's bargain haven.

Have a nice day to all,

Milk from Ninang Agirl (Zia's Mom)

I just want to thank Ninang Agirl for giving me some of her baby's (Zia's) milk supply. Actually, Zia wont need it since my Ninang Agirl is bless to have more than enough milk supply for her baby. Instead of throwing it they gave it to me as supplement to my milk supply (mom's milk is not enough to sustain my daily milk need).

Thanks for sharing your milk, Zia and thank you Ninong Joel and Ninang Agirl for bringing it at our house. Mwah!!!.. more milk...LOL

Eighteen (18) more days to go before my first birthday and the preparation is almost done. We're done with our caterer, photographer, face painter, food cart and souvenirs. There are two things we need to finalize, these are party host and my costume. Mom and dad is still searching for a good party host/magician/puppeter who is good and affordable. Distribution of Invitation is on going, we hope to finish everything next week.

Have a nice day to all,

We've been framed!!!
