What a Journey "1" has been...

By esa
A list of things that MBS can do
Just a few days before she turns 2 
A list of memories that I will cherish forever
And an unconditional love that is beyond measure.


MBS never fails to amaze me with what she can do at her age. There are tons of moments I forget that she's a little girl and just about to turn 2. 

We can hold conversations with her already. And her being able to understand us and respond in complete sentences, at her age, is something I am really proud of. The best part is that MBS is able to help us with mini-chores around the house. 
"Please put this in the hamper." and "Please throw this in the trash can." are regulars for her and she repeats these sentences to us at times.


MBS walked in on me while I was inflating her floaters/beach ball for swimming.
"Mommy, Haley naman."
I gave her the inflator and left the room to get something. When I entered the room again,
"Mommy, wait for (a) minute."
"Okay. Do you want Mommy to go out first?"
"Yes." 
-------------------------------

During her Bert Lozada swimming classes:
"Mommy, it's hard."
-------------------------------

MBS knows how to use the plural form as well.
Me: "This is called saba."
MBS: "Saaa-baaa."
I pointed to a bunch of saba on the table and asked, "What is this?"
MBS: "Saa-baa. So many saabaas."

Another instance was when MBS saw a group of construction workers:
MBS: So many mamas.
--------------------------------

She knows how to be polite as well.
"Excuse me." 
"Thank you."
"Please."
--------------------------------

MBS can count to twenty.
She knows colors, shapes, and the alphabet. 
--------------------------------

She recently just discovered the musician in her. Her versions are a tad different though.
"Baa Baa Byack Sheep. Have you wool? Yes, yes, three bags full. One for master. One for dame. One for boy lane."
L,M,N,O,P becomes Eyemen P
"McDonald farm. Chick. Chick chick here. Chick chick there." Then she stops, thinks, and says, "Mommy, horse pala." 
--------------------------------

 One of my ecstatic moments was during our Bohol trip.
We had just visited the Tarsier Sanctuary and my sister bought a tarsier keychain. 
My sister asked MBS what the animal on the keychain was. It was the first time I heard her say," Tar-sier."
Bohol trip = totally worth it.
---------------------------------

MBS is starting to have her own personality. And it excites me and scares me to realize that my daughter is starting to actually grow up. 

 She's a toddler who has her own thoughts and who isn't afraid to explore her surroundings. 
She's a toddler who is getting to know herself, and surprises herself with her discoveries.
She's a toddler who loves the Tickle Monster and hogs the TV to watch her DVDs.
She's a toddler who is starting to explore the world, and a curious one at that!

A list of things MBS will be able to do
Just a few months after she turns 2
A list of discoveries to look forward to
Terrible Two, we are ready for you!

Baguio City 2017 - Day 3

By esa
DAY 3 Here's a glimpse (with pictures) of what the inside of our rented house at St. Patrick looks like. The house can be rented for Php 18,000 a night. It was pricey for our small group, but would have been worth it for a bigger group.  Room# 1 at Lower Ground CR inside Room # 1 Stairs going to the main floor Living room (Main door is on the right) Dining room just across the living room Kitchen (Pots and pans, knives, chopping board, plates, utensils, rice cooker, water dispenser with 5 Gal water, water kettle are all provided.) Room # 2 at Main floor CR just outside Room # 2 Stairs leading to 2nd Floor Room# 3: Master's Bedroom (there's a CR inside) Room # 4 across the Master's Bedroom (CR located beside the room) Stairs going to Attic St. Patrick Village was nice enough to hold my downpayment for 1 year. We were supposed to go last year, but we had a family emergency.  I was really charmed by this place (...

NAIA 2 and its Infant Feeding Station

By esa
A few weeks ago, I had to travel to Canada without MBS.  With the long haul flight and being outside my own comfort zone, I realized I was going to have a hard time with pumping and breast milk handling. Thoughts of where I was going to pump, how I was going to pump (in public areas) worried me.  So, I'd have to say that I was immensely happy when I saw the Infant Feeding Station at the Ninoy Aquino International Airport (NAIA) Terminal 2. The station is located at the left end of the waiting area after you pass the carry-on luggage X-ray and metal detector.  The sign of the station was a bit hard (for me) to see because firstly, I have blurry vision and secondly, the sign was way smaller than the MASSAGE sign beside it.  But the station was truly a welcome sight, esp. since it's air-conditioned inside. I got a chance to beat the warm temperature in the waiting area for a while. :) Hopefully someday, all airports will soon be equipped with their o...

Hong Kong Disneyland (June 2018)

By
Since MBS kept true to her goal of getting a gold merit award on the 4th grading of her K1 journey (Yay!), I had to keep my word of granting her wish - a trip to Hong Kong Disneyland. We arrived at HKIA around 5:30pm and had our dinner first before heading to the happiest place in the world. I loved that they cut the noodles for the kids so they won't have a hard time eating! MBS LM After filling our tummies, we headed off to the taxi area. HK taxis are set into three categories or colors, depending on the area: red for urban/city areas, blue for Lantau island, and green for New Territories. All three colors can bring us HK Disneyland. However, the red one is a bit more expensive than the green and blue ones. We took the green taxi. The ride to the Disneyland Explorer's Lodge cost us 147 HKD. Finally, we checked into HK Disneyland's Explorer Lodge! Hong Kong Disneyland offers three hotel choices: Disneyland Hotel, Hollywood Hotel, a...
