Using Instagram

Been fond of using my iPhone lately in taking my pictures. Love the effects that these apps give particularly Instagram. It's just fun to use.

My little girl likes to pick her own outfits now- as in from head to toe. At less than three years of age, she's surprisingly pretty good with color coordination and style so we rarely fight about her attire unless she's not dressed well for the weather. She's been tired of wearing her bubble jacket and boots and if it's chilly and she's underdressed, that's when the fight starts.

I wonder if she would be in the media/entertainment/fashion industry because right now she's just really into photos, acting, and talking. She's really a good talker- she's like in the five year old level on that aspect.

Whatever she chooses, I'd be happy as long as she grows up with good attitude and values.

Never Give Up on Paris

I've been attending a French class for the past four weeks. It's fun and I really want to learn. However this class that I enrolled in is the second part of last semester's class. So it's basically not for beginners like me who really has never had any kind of background on the language. My classmates are so ahead of me but I know that I can catch up if I study the first 100 pages of the book. Unfortunately, I have not been blessed with the time to do so. Madi normally does not take naps anymore and if she does, it's only for just about an hour. 

Last week I came in without being able to do the homework and all the time that I was called to answer a question, I didn't make it. If I come today, it would definitely be the same scenario and I don't think I'd like that so I'm planning to skip today and just take the time to self-study while Jon takes care of our little girl (Tuesday is their bonding time). So that's the plan and hopefully I'll be able to come in next week with more knowledge. No, I'm not wasting my money and give up on this. I must learn a bit somehow so I can visit France after. Hehe... ;)

First Story Time of 2011

Posing outside a Pottery Barn store.


This is the first story time Madi has attended for the year. Since the past Thanksgiving and holidays that followed, we got so busy, the winter has been terrible, and Madi got sick... So finally, we got the chance to attend yesterday and hopefully we could continually do it- at least once a week.

Activity of the day: Make your own banner if you were to run for president.

Madi had a good time and so did I. She now interacts very well, raises her hand when the reader asks a question (when she knows the answer, of course), introduces herself to people... she's just really doing so good and I think almost ready for school (just a tiny bit of a problem and that is we're not potty trained yet). However, all in all, I'm a proud mom. My baby is developing good, and she's a happy and healthy kid.
