Pictorials

Let me share to you our very first official pictorial with the professional photographer here are some of the pictures

It was a nice experience for the three of us, but I am not really sure about Levi, He is in a bad mood that time. Most of his picture shows his real "characteristic" as the lady on the camera say. There is no image of him smiling and it took us 30 minutes running singing just to make him smile but we didn't empower his "sumpong" he wont dress up, throw costumes and even threaten to jump out of the big flower pot hay...

Anyway I just want to thank Smart Parenting.com for the prize, this photoshoot is one of my winnings last December.

***The pictures are not of high quality, I just scanned the prints they won't let us have the efile, sadly.

My December 2009 Winnings

I am barely 2 months in blogging, I started out with my first blog My Simple Life, it was born out my non-stop surfing in the net trying to find those freebies and contest. Since most of the 2010 Planners, which I longed to have that time, are bloggers contest I decide I needed a blog to join them all and my freebie site was born.

From then I started collecting contest posting it on my site not just as my entry but more of to share on my ummm... 1 follower until they grew into.... 8 as of this moment, yes I already got the lucky 8! With my 8 co-contest junkies is my winning and freebies I got.

Last December I received my very first one The J&J lotions, those cute little bottle I actually using it right now as a hand moisturizer. Actually our family did'nt just got 1 of this we got 3 packages har har har! I joine my hubby & sister to this.

Then my 1 set of Garnier Product! I am so happy with it because I got the expensive eye roll on for free plus I have a christmas gift for my mommy.

Then after Christmas Christmas I received an email that I won a free Sesame Street DVD and a GC Photoshoot from PictureCompany sosyal di ba!  And so we had a pictorial.


That was not all I am still waiting for my...
P500 GC which I won from Living Life to the fullest last December 12, it got stuck on our very reliable Phillipine Post Office Hope it arrives soon so I can have my most wanted green bag.

I also got a lot this January I will post it some other day since those are too many to mention in one post :)

How Old I Am

It is friday morning already TGIF! Let us have a something to laugh about. Got this one from a friends forwarded email here it is...

Beware of older men - they only get wiser! 

A woman decides to have a facelift for her 50th birthday. 
She spends $15,000 and feels pretty good about the results.
On her way home, she stops at a newsstand to buy a newspaper.
Before leaving, she says to the clerk, 'I hope you don't mind my asking, but how old do you think I am
'About 32,' is the reply.'
'Nope! I'm exactly 50,' the woman says happily.

A little while later she goes into McDonald's and asks the counter girl the very same question.
The girl replies, 'I'd guess about 29.'
The woman replies with a big smile, 'Nope, I'm 50.'
Now she's feeling really good about herself.. She stops in a drug store on her way down the street.
She goes up to the counter to get some mints and asks the clerk this burning question.
The clerk responds, 'Oh, I'd say 30.'
Again she proudly responds, 'I'm 50, but thank you!'

While waiting for the bus to go home, she asks an old man waiting next to her the same question.
He replies, 'Lady, I'm 78 and my eyesight is going. Although, when I was young there was a sure-fire way to tell how old a woman was.  It sounds very forward, but it requires you to let me put my hands under your bra. Then, and only then can I tell you EXACTLY how old you are.'
 

They wait in silence on the empty street until her curiosity gets the best of her.
She finally blurts out, 'What the hell, go ahead.'

He slips both of his hands under her blouse and begins to feel around very slowly and carefully.
He bounces and weighs each breast and he gently pinches each nipple.
He pushes her breasts together and rubs them against each other.
After a couple of minutes of this, she says, 'Okay, okay....How old am I?' 
He completes one last squeeze of her breasts, removes his hands, and says, 'Madam, you are 50.'

Stunned and amazed, the woman says, 'That was incredible, how could you tell?'
The old man says, 'Promise you won't get mad?'
'I promise I won't' she says.
'I was behind you at McDonalds

Wiser at 78! har har har!

Mommy Moments: New Born Days

 

We are expected to hear his first cry last 2008 Christmas day but he seems to love the warmth of my loving protection that he stayed longer but we can no longer wait for him to come out in his free will.

January 03, 2009 at 2:21pm,  after 23 hours he finally had his first breath of earth, I never expect to hear him that early during the operation, doctors keep on telling me that they haven't started yet because they know I am nervous. The sweet sound of his cry and a kiss on his cheeks was the last memory I had inside the OR.

The next day I had a chance to hold and nourish him, I am still afraid to hold him that time, afraid that i might drop or crush him . Funny he is so strong evey yawn he will lose on those blue blankets that nurses keep on tucking him in. He is in between 2 girls in the nursery but the nurses tells me that he is the most "iyakin" among them, his eyes are always puffy every time I visit him for feeding. Until we came home he is like a bat sleep at day and crying actively at night.

Levi is such cry baby but mommy will always have the patience for this little guy, forget with how my eye bags will look, there are lots of concealers and eye roll-on in the market as long as my Levi is comfortable in my arms.

Ontogeny

Archiving and browsing through my 200 files, I view our photos and it's wonderful to see how Levi had grown and I love to to share it here

Levi's Advancing To Technology

Just a little to share, Sunday afternoon around siesta time I and Levi inside his playpen, I trying to catch some sleep while he throw his toys, tumbling and screaming around. For five minutes he just keeps on  doing that, until I notice that he stop and seems to concentrate on something. At last  he saw my laptop on top of the bed he was trying to reach it with all his might and so I get and place it down he hurriedly came to it, bang his hands and trying to open its lid . To give more I open it and to his delight he start pressing his hands to the keys as if imitating us typing, until accidentally it turned on and before he lock it ( password protected). I put it off and give it again to him just to keep him busy. I t happened twice after that, and it start to irritate me but  he acting kinda different, stare at the gadget intently as if trying to figure out something and I tell you that he do figured out something.

From Santino to Bad Boy Baby Ama

My Levi just had his first official hair cut last Saturday 9th of January 2010 at our friendly neighborhood Barbero. Actually this is already his third haircut, we had long been planning this one even before he turn 1 but due to his parents hectic schedules, we only manage to do it a week after his birthday.
And since all of us are very excited including Papu no one remember to bring a camera so the memories just keep in our minds.

My Dream Vacation for Summer 2010

I always love Summer, since childhood it always lighten me up thinking that holy week is coming equally means school is ending and I have all days of the coming three months doing nothing but splashing and relaxing around.

That childhood thoughts still remains in me, though some changes a little as the years past, I am now running away from work instead of school and I no longer have a quarter of a year to spent luxuriously lazying around. But I view it on the positive side, now I have my own money to spent and I no longer need a parent consent or a companion on everywhere I go, yahoo!

James Levi's Street Birthday Bash!
