This is it, Joel. It’s going to be gone soon.
I know.
What do we do?
Enjoy it.
Short is fun and flirty
I believe summer is declared over in our lovely tropical country, especially after typhoons kept coming. According to reports today, the entire week will be gloomy and rainy because of the southwest winds building up. Or something like that. It’s hard to process weather news at 5 in the morning.
What I will miss about summer is the fact that this is the fifth (?) year that I did not miss the beach. Hahahaha. But seriously, we will have to bid adieu to short skirts as they were never really friendly with strong wind and rain.
I like short skirts in general and I think it’s mainly because I cannot wear them to work. My company is quite conservative about hemlines and let’s just say I’ve crossed the line way too many times (and I can only cross it so much). So there. I browsed around my favorite fashion community Chictopia for lovely lasses with their fun and flirty skirts.
Oh what I would give to be fun and flirty in the office too. :)
Awwww. Now, I miss skirt weather! Then again, I can always wear longer ones to accommodate the wind. :) Have a great week, everyone. :)
Wave goodbye, Kai.
When Kimi mentioned that Kai needs a far cooler weather than Manila weather, I thought she’s investing in air-conditioning. Hahahaha. I totally completely blacked out the fact that she can raise Kai in the summer capital of the country.
It’s sad that I was not able to visit as often as I should have. This kid is going to be Chuchi’s best friend, in spite of the distance. So in order to strengthen that bond, we squeezed them both in Kai’s crib.
I have to say it is the funnest photo op I’ve had. Hahahaha.
Chuchi: "Let's hold hands for the photo." Kai: "WHYYYYYY?"
Chuchi: "Smile for the photo." Kai: "I am smiling."
Kai: "You did NOT smile." Chuchi: "I'm smiling NOW."
Chuchi: "There's something on your nail." Kai: "I'm doing VOGUE."
Chuchi: "Let's share a secret." Kai: "I loooooooove secrets."
Chuchi: "I loooove hair." Kai: "I know. I can feel it."
I am sooooo going to miss this pairing. :)
Wave goodbye, Kai! We are now looking for an excuse to file an emergency LOA to get to Baguio and ride horses with you and pick strawberries and go ukay. :)
Bianca’s second recital with Maylene the dalaga
The title is supposed to be something far wittier than that, but I couldn’t think of anything else! I see these little girls almost every other weekend but it wasn’t until I saw these photos did I realize how much they’ve grown.
Bianca is enrolled at Lyric Music Studio and she studies the piano. If I’m not mistaken, this is her second recital. It was held at the Filipinas Heritage Library along Makati Avenue. So right after the long workweek, I walked my ass over there to at least catch the tail end of it.
When I got there, Bianca and Maylene were already doing the art that Marga and I hav perfected: camwhoring. Hahahahaha.
I caught her in the middle of a serious instruction: "Ate May take my photo with the guitar! Dali!" Hahahaha. I love my cousins and their jologs moments. :)
The venue was quite cramped to be honest, especially with all the instruments in it (read: grand piano in baby library).
Bianca with her most loyal fans. I believe Lola Mommy is about to spearhead a nationwide fan club for her.
Can you believe how fast time flies?!
Of course, the pro had to show how bathroom photos are taken. Just forgot to wipe the mirror though, so I had an accidental mole on the cheek. Hahahaha.
Filipinas Heritage Library is hidden behind this fantastic landscape. So yes, another photo there too.
Good job, Bianca on your recital! I am looking forward to hearing your version of Canon in D. :)
Early morning surprise
I came home pretty late last night (more on why later). I think I came through the door at exactly 12:42 AM today, and it was nice to come in not alone. Dylan took me home. I was half-expecting him to spend the night, but he can’t really leave his ladies in QC now can he? :)
So I was hurrying because he had to leave soon. QC is a long commute from Las Pinas. I got him his water while he freshened up in the bathroom, and I quickly went in my room to take off my shoes, grab my slippers and tie my hair in a bun. The house was surprisingly warm in spite of the time. I noticed this little orange package in the corner, but did not mind it until Dylan left.
I became quite giddy when I took out that package.
When I opened it, I was squealing a little.
By now, I’ve already started my boogie dance.
I know right! I was just complaining how I never get to run anymore and now, my mother just gave me another reason to! Apart from health reasons of course. ;p
We gotta break this baby in!!!!
Fantastic way to start a Friday! After my dose of Chuchi, I am definitely hitting the pavement with these. :)
