I'm still yayaless as of the moment (read here) so I still can't stay in front of the pc for more than an hour. Whenever I have the chance to sneak in a few posts, it has to be my expiring tasks you know ;p
Anyway, to make the most of my time, I bought Jon's laptop this morning. I was at Starbucks while waiting for Sophia's class to finish and I was able to write a couple of posts which were all expiring today. Hay, buti na lang :)
Tomorrow at 9am, Jon and I are off to Rosemont for our interview. You see, parents are to be interviewed first even before the kids get to have their turn. I wonder what it'll be all about. Jon canceled an important meeting for it, you know. Our motto has always been "family first" daw, yeah right! I hope it goes well :) Wish us luck!

MOMMY YAYA
That’s how Sophia calls me now. Her yaya left yesterday and I’m solely taking care of her now. The replacement yaya (her previous yaya who recenlty just gave birth) is coming not until Saturday so it’s all me and the little girl until then. My pc time now is very short - two hours a day the most so pardon me for not getting back on your tags, comments and whatevers. Regular programming will probably resume Sunday, LOL! I’ll just try to sneak in a few posts here and there as I have 20 pending tasks!!! Ridiculous, isn’t it? Super bad timing.
Anyway, have a nice day everyoneThursday, January 10, 2008
school hunting ends
For some background, read this first.
I took Sophia to Rosemont (Woodrose Preparatory School) in Alabang this morning to see what she has to say about the school and to be able to personally inquire too. She's turning three this coming March making her eligible to join the Nursery Class of Rosemont. On our way there, Sophia kept on asking a lot of questions like why do we need to check out a new school, if Rosemont's going to be her new school etc. I told her to look around and tell me if she wants the "new" school.
Once we got there, I was greeted by the school director as I had made prior appointment. Too bad we were not able to observe classes though as kids were busy practicing for a certain school program that I failed to take note of. Mrs. Del Rosario showed me the classrooms though while Sophia explored the play area. Classrooms were neat, not exactly new but was within my expectations. The kids looked very well behaved as I noticed. They showed me the Nursery Classes and I must say, they all look big kids to me. I wonder if it's with the uniform or something. The nursery class is for the 3-4 year olds by the way. It's a big question on my mind now if Sophia will be as behaved as them by the time she joins the class.
Overall, I must say I'm pretty much satisfied with what I saw and is most likely (unless I find a better alternative within Alabang too) to enroll Sophia there by June. The little girl loved it too and didn't want to leave, haha. She loved saying "hi" to the kids and playing in the playground. I got some application papers already and is about to complete the requirements before scheduling an interview. The parents are to be interviewed first before the kid gets assessed. Oh diba?
Are we really saying goodbye to Toddlers Unlimited already? I guess, yes.

year 2007
One reason why I tried blogging and soon fell in love with it is because I get to document every little or big thing that happens to me and my family. My blogs serve as my online diary for a while before I was able to earn from them through paid blogging. To this date though, they still serve the same purpose nonetheless. They just gave me added perks like earning a little on the side :)
Anyway, this was how my 2007 went with this blog as my witness ...
January - As I reread my previous posts, I lost my two helpers on the Eve of New Year. Did the cooking all by myself and with the maid I borrowed from my MIL. My in-laws were in the US that time so we spent the New Year with a friend here at home. Around this time, I was also preschool hunting for Sophia.
February - I had an anonymous reader who left a very judgmental comment on my cbox. This time of the month, I was busy preparing for Sophia's 2nd birthday.
March - Sophia's 2nd Birthday Party here at home. We flew to Bangkok the next day after her birthday party too.
April - Enrolled Sophia at the summer program of Toddlers Unlimited. My ssiter graduated from college too and our friends, JR and Mimi got married.
May - Went to HK Disneyland the second time around with my family and some relatives.
June - Singapore trip with Jon's family. Shopping at its best as it was The Great Singapore Sale. Sophia, at this month, officially became a preschooler too. Enrolled her full time at Toddlers Unlimited in Alabang. June was also my birth month by the way.
July - Our 3rd year wedding anniversary. Had the best and so far the wildest despedida party for our good friend, Xandra.
August - Sophia is officially potty trained. She went to school without any nappy on.
September - I gave in and ventured into paid blogging like everyone else.
October - Australia Trip! Our best trip so far :)
November - Sophia's Halloween Party. She came to school as a bumblebee to everyone's delight. Got compliments from fellow mommies with her costume.
December - Christmas 2007. Sophia's best Christmas so far as she's old enough to understand and appreciate what Christmas has to offer :)
I wouldn't have remembered all these without the help of blogging so I am loving blogging more and more. It helps me remember things and gives me moohlah! Who wouldn't love it then?!

christmas day and beyond
Last Christmas we trooped from South to North all day. We started the day and left the house at around 10am to dash to a sumptuous lunch at Ama’s house (Jon’s lola, father side) in Sta. Mesa. We stayed there for an hour and a half and left for San Luis, Pampanga (after eating so much lechon de leche!) where my family and relatives from my mom’s side are waiting. We arrived at around 2:30pm and stayed there until about 4pm. It was nice seeing my relatives - cousins, titos, titas and their kids again. Sophia was all over the place as usual. She was saying hi to everyone and wanted to play all the time. Too bad I don’t have pics of the little girl with her cousins though. They were in my sister’s digital camera so I’m just leaving you with these pictures taken with my in-laws in Sta. Mesa. Don’t she look just like every inch of lady already with her outfit?!?! I think so! And so does everybody who saw her that day 
munching on grapes at her tayma’s house

daddy’s girl, definitely!

By 5pm, we were in my mom’s house in San Fernando where we stayed for two nights. Would you believe then that by this time, I found out that I left my BIG BAG of clothes at home?!?! Yes, Jon and my clothes! Ayayay!!!!!
I borrowed house clothes from my mom while Jon borrowed from my brothers for the two nights that we stayed in my mom’s house. The thing is, we were to attend a Christmas Party with my high school friends at Fontana the night of the 26th with red and white as theme so imagine how pissed I am of not having the clothes I prepared for us to wear. Nevertheless, we still attended of course as a friend of mine, Yvette, was going to kill me if we didn’t. It has been ages since we had a get together so I needed to go. This explains these photos:
I was wearing my mom’s blouse
That night was definitely one night I won’t forget - ever. One for the books. No, I’m not sharing why but goodness, I swear, I never felt as nervous in my entire life. It was ONE HELL OF A NIGHT. Looking back now, we can’t help but laugh at the whole incident. But we all got the scare of our lives that night, that one’s for sure.
Hint: BOYS WILL BE BOYS!!!!!! HAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
***We took Sophia home at around 8pm while Jon and I got back to the villa and went home 6am the next day.

Sophia's first ever school program is done yesterday. Toddlers Unlimited had their "Teenie Halooweenies" Program yesterday and here's the link to the very SHORT video I took from my digital camera. I was the photographer while Jon was the videographer, doting parents I may say :)

when sophia met cinderella
Sophia, together with the kids and teachers of Toddlers Unlimited Alabang went to watch the Musical Play Cinderella for Kids at the “on-stage” in Greenbelt last Friday. Jon dropped me, Sophia and yaya while he went somewhere to meet a friend. We left the house at 9am and we arrived in Greenbelt after 30 minutes. The show will not start until 10:30am pa. We were an hour early so we ate at Jollibee first and there were sure a lot of kids with their mommies and yayas waiting for the show just like us. We went in around 10:15am and the show started on time. We had good seats; we were on the third row from the stage. Tickets, by the way, were super cheap lang :)
My little girl was such a darling the entire show. She was just sitting on her own seat as she gets wide-eyed with almost every scene (with a little comments here and there like “why is Cinderella not wearing slippers, mommy?”, “where is Cinderella?”, “bad bad bad sisters!”). The show was really nice. I didn’t expect to enjoy it as much as I did. I love how they incorporated audience participation during the show itself like when “Prince Charming” went around having kids try on Cinderella’s glass slipper. Oh, the kids had a blast. Take your little girls to the show if you have time and I’m sure they’ll enjoy it (that is if they are fond of Cinderella or are familiar with her story at least).
Here are Sophia’s pictures with the cast ….
