Happy 3rd Bday, Kenzo

January 10, 2009


To my favorate Son (cos Arisha is my favorate daughter naman :-)), I am super happy, super fulfilled, super proud that you are my son. I super love you and I just can't think of living my life not having you. You (and Arisha) made my life complete. Being a mom to you and Arisha is the best thing that ever happened in my life. I vow to stay beside you, nurture you and dedicate my time to your growing years. Papa and I will stick with you through thick and thin. Walang iwanan. We will go anywhere together, we will never leave one behind.

Trick or Treat '08

Last Friday, had my kids Kenzo and Reese parade in their halloween costumes at SM Megamall. We just walked through the mall and did not actually get to stop by the shops to ask for treats. My kids were happy and content just walking around and enjoying the crowd.

A day before Halloween celebration, I was already getting excited to dress up Reese as "Tinker Bell" but when I was trying the purple gown on her, she's been crying her lungs out not to. I wonder why she didn't like it when I thought she will really look good in it. Isn't she girly by nature? or could it just be that the gown is not appealing to her at all. When I tried on the Little Devil costume of Kenzo last year, she was too excited and happy to try it. So there, my Tinker Bell ended up being the Li'l Devil. Not bad anyway cos she really looked good in it after all.

As for Kenzo, I really have been getting tired of looking the perfect costume for him days before. The "kuripot" that I am now did not want to spend a thousand bucks for an outfit that will last for only an hour on him (That's if I am too lucky pa) but goodness gracious saved me from buying when I found the leopard overall I've been keeping for a year now. So lucky me it still fits him well and he likes it and enjoys it.

And with all those savings I have, I am happy to say they still look this adorable

Tears in Heaven

When papa passed away 5 years ago, I always had this song playing in my mind everytime I think of him.

Now that "All Soul's Day" is nearing and our family couldn't go home to visit him in the "park", this song keeps on playing everywhere I go.

Is it just pure coincidence?
Or is he reminding me that it is I who have forgotten him?

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Would you hold my hand
If I saw you in heaven?
Would you help me stand
If I saw you in heaven?

I'll find my way
Through night and day,
'Cause I know I just can't stay
Here in heaven.

Time can bring you down,
Time can bend your knees.
Time can break your heart,
Have you begging please, begging please.

Beyond the door,
There's peace I'm sure,
And I know there'll be no more
Tears in heaven.

Would you know my name
If I saw you in heaven?
Would it be the same
If I saw you in heaven?

I must be strong
And carry on,
'Cause I know I don't belong
Here in heaven.

Take it Easy

Life is difficult these days. Good thing I have my kids and my super loving hubby to remind me how easy it can be with them in my life.

Hay, I'm pagod yet happy!

It's nicely

When he isn't in the mood, he'd really be hot headed.

Kenzo: Arisha, stay away from the TV. I am watching. I said, I am watching. Stay away now!

Mama: Sshh Kenzo, that's not the way to talk to your sister. Say it nicely.

Kenzo: It's nicely Arisha. I am saying it.

But he really cares too.

Mama: Kenzo, I am tired.

Kenzo: Just sit down, ok? and don't go outside, ok? because it's a sunny day and it's really hot out there, ok?

another caring incident with Papa

Kenzo: Don't disturb papa, Arisha. He needs to work on the computer, ok? come here and just sit down here and play with my toys, ok?

He uses the word "ok" many many times.

Mom's 55th Bday

My mom celebrates her 55th birthday today. I just wished her a happy day today. I'll save whatever plans I have when she visits us this weekend.

5 Years Today

Just couldn't forget the day you left us.

I miss you, Dad.....

And I'll take care of Mom, I promise you that.
