Since I am a full time mommy I need to take good care of my family.  There are lots of things to do inside the house but it is rewarding, especially if you will see your kids smiling back at you. 

School days have started already, my first kid is  a grown up already, I couldn't believe that my Maki is already in Grade 1 now.  So I need to monitor all his things, his assignments and most important his food. I need to prepare food religiously, from breakfast, baon, and his lunch.  Lunch time is the end of his school time everyday.

I just want to share the food that I usually prepare, the bread. I am not that artistic, my husband is the artistic one, but I try my best to show some good art in preparing the food.  I put 3 breads on my son's lunch box and put the "I Love You" message on it using the Magnolia Cheezee Squeezee, isn't amazing?  I am proud because Maki love it and he immediately whispered to me “thank you mommy”.  Well that's a very rewarding experience.

Hope next time I will do it again with some more artistic effort to make my kids really appreciate the food and for him to enjoy going to school.

Bonding session with my Kiddos is usual in our house, because I am a full time Mommy we have a lot of time together to do everything we want, like playing, eating, watching dvd and many more.

With my eldest son Maki, we always have a lot of time doing his assignment and his artworks but with my youngest it's always giggling and reading.  In case of Maki there's one problem whenever we're making his assignment like the artwork, well I'm not artistically inclined.  Hahaha!  Since I was I child I am not good in artwork, I don't know how to draw or to paint, I only can do is the stick drawing.


So, since the event of HP is about Artwork, I am glad that my Husband is with us. This will be a bonding session, although my youngest son Gelo stayed in the house with his grandmother, he is too young for this and beside he just got out of the hospital so bringing him along would only strain him.  But of course we are already starting to teach and expose him on arts and other things by allowing him to play with his big brother Maki.


















The Bonding Session Through Colors is an activity initiated by HP or Hewlett-Packard.  They wanted to provide good bonding moments within the family through their affordable and new line of printers.  That what my hubby and Maki loves to do and they enjoyed participating in the event during the artwork session.  They really put their focus in it together . Of course, yours truly is their photographer.  I want to capture every moment of it and that's what HP aims to have a memorable bonding moments for the family and of the artworks and picture printed with HP printers.


Here's something about HP and the printers.

Life is full of surprises...gladly, that surprises makes our life meaningful and ease the hardship that we always encounter in our life. Blessings pour at all times.

Though we experienced lots of sufferings and challenges, this time we embraced the happiness because of the achievements of my eldest son, Maki.


It's a very happy moment, these are the ribbons that Maki got from the recognition, most kind, most punctual, most responsible, most honest and most industrious. Well, some of the ribbons that he got, I also received it when I was on my elementary days.


Aside from those ribbons he was also chosen as Best in English.

The finale will be on Monday, March 26, 2012, during the commencement day he will receive the medal for being the 1st honor of the nursery class.

What's in store on this? Well, at his young age he was able to make us proud even more, his achievement give us so much happiness and makes our expenses lesser. Yes, he is now a scholar of their school, with 100% no tuition fee for this coming school year.

Blessing is just around the corner, and hope it will continue. Thanks God!!! and congratulation to my eldest son Maki.

It's been 4 years since I gave birth to my eldest son. Now, I can't imagine that we are celebrating his 4th birthday. Oh...my eldest is growing up...and soon his going to be a teenager. Well, it would still take a decade before maki become a teenager.

This birthday celebration was just simple, unlike before, we have huge celebration. One was his 1st birthday which we celebrated at Shakeys, his second birthday was in our house and his 3rd birthday was at Jollibee. Now, on his 4th birthday was just simple and only immediate family was there.

Since we have experienced emergency CS with our baby who was a premature, financial crisis hit us. So in order to make my son feel the celebration of his birthday we had everything simple. But before Maki's birthday I talked to him and asked him what he wants on his birthday party, take note "party". Maki told me, "mommy i want cake, i want party hats, i want candies and i want chicken"...oh so many request should I complain? Ah ah! I should not because in the first place I asked him what he wants.

So the mommy is on the mode of preparing all the stuff..

October 24, 2011, I went to the mall and bought a cake, and then party hats, and also giveaways. Since the guest of my son is just 5 kids I made the giveaways that I bought personalized. His guests are my brother and sister with their families, my sister-in-law with her husband and son and also Maki's grandmothers and grandfathers.

Well, I prepared fried chicken, pansit, rice, softdrinks and cake, surprisingly, my sister-in-law make a palitaw (a dessert out of sticky rice), my mother-in-law make a rice cake (also another dessert out of sticky rice) and my brother joseph bought a cassava cake. Now, Maki's food is ready and I'm so very thankful to my families on my husband side and on my side...

We started the party with a prayer and then a game...Shierleen, my sister-in-law brought a piñata, usher pull the thread (tie) and all the candies and chocolates scattered on the ground so all the kids got busy picking up those candies, and then finally we eat.

It's just a simple celebration and yet everybody are happy because we celebrated it with my whole family. So financial problem is not a hindrance to make you happy.

Next stop...Gelo's christening.....Gelo's 1st birthday celebration...very very soon...

All parents feel delighted if you see your kids doing well in school. One of the proofs that will mark that your child is doing well in the school is the exam.

The A in my life. A stands for Anarc Makisig Demo, my eldest son. My precious son, it took 2 years of waiting before our precious one (my eldest son) arrived. We encountered lots of struggle before he came to us. There are times that we were questioned why I can’t bear a child because of that we consulted an OB-gyne just to know the reason why. God really made us went to the OB-gyne for us to know that I had a small cyst on my right ovary and the other reason why I can bear a child at that moment is because the other ovary is a polycystic ovary, it means that egg cells cannot easily fertilized. After months of medication, our greatest wish was granted! I’m pregnant! Really I am! In a bible verse: "there’s a proper time for everything."

As the years passed our precious one had grown and is now going to celebrate his 4th birthday this coming October 2011. We are so blessed to have our son. I’m enjoying more this days because he is now attending school. He is a nursery student in a school near our place. I and my husband are alternately teaching our son every night on his lessons in school and his assignments. Since we miss going to school, teaching our son somewhat compensate the feeling of going to school again.
Our precious one is so very happy with his baby brother now…My G in my life…soon…
