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 2

By esa
DAY 2 To start off the day, the little monkey woke up early to run around the grounds of St. Patrick Village. He had just finished his oatmeal breakfast, which I was able to cook at the comfort of the house we rented.  This is the house we stayed in. Pathway leading to the exit A modern day Romeo and Juliet scene with the aunt Just as we were headed up to get ready for another exciting day, the little monkey's ears perked up when he heard a "Ta-hooooo!!!!" entering the village grounds. And boy, was I excited to find out that they offered another unique flavor - ube taho! What a way to start the day! :)  Kuya Willie arrived a few minutes past 9am, and off we went to Baguio Botanical Garden. *Baguio Van Rentals provided their drivers with their own lodging, so Kuya Willie didn't stay with us (even though there was more than enough room; they have a driver's quarters just beside the garage).  Family picture! The garden w...

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 (...

Youji & Me Clearance Sale

By esa
While browsing Facebook, I chanced upon Youji & Me having a clearance sale ! :)  I love clearance or warehouse sales. They mean 50% off the original price, or sometimes even more. :) It's too bad the company didn't give a clearance sale before MBS was born. If they did, it would've saved us a lot of money.  The crib and playpen MBS uses now were both bought from Youji & Me by MBS's grandparents.  From what i've gathered, it's part of Chinese tradition that the mom-side grandparents of the baby have to buy the crib. It's also tradition not to assemble the crib before the baby arrives. In our case though, we had the crib assembled when it was delivered to our place. We didn't put on the sheets yet though. We waited for MBS to come out before doing that.  The initial plan was to put the crib at our place and the playpen at MBS's grandparents' place. However, both crib and playpen were put to use at our place. So, MH and I decided to bu...
