I had had a conversation with Katie last night. At her age she seems to know what she wants. This summer, she wants to learn how to swim. Next year, ice skating. Year after that, singing lesson.
Remember ok!!

I want to be a Rock Star
Too much Nickelodeon. Katie wants to be a rock star because of the Naked Brothers Band.
And she still wants to be a doctor.
Picture was taken on Oct 16, 2007 when she received the guitar gift from Lolo Luther and Mommy lola.

I wanna be a doctor!
Katie, what do you want to be when you grow up?
I want to be a doctor. Doctor of babies and kids. I don't want to be a doctor of old people or animals.
I think she likes her pedia a lot.
This picture was taken on Oct 16, 2007, career day in Playschool International.

Will Katie be on TV?
We spend our Saturday mornings in Serendra to have our nails done and have lunch. Katie ;ppks forward to this since she is also included in the kikay ritual. Right after this, we take her to Martha's cake and buy her a cookie decorating kit.
On March 29, there was a shoot because this shop is being featured in Unang Hirit. Ella, GMA's talent was there part of the feature. Since Katie was the only other kid at that time in the shop, a GMA's staff asked Arnold's permission if she could also be videoed. Of course he said yes. Katie was so biba and gave a big smile and waved on the camera. She also had a nice shot with Ella.I just hope she wont be edited out.
The feature will be shown on TV next week and I hope we'll get a copy of the video.
Incidentally, Arnold was on TV before when RC was featured on ABS. The title of the show slipped my mind as of the moment.
Edit - Hay.... we missed the show. Hope we can pull strings to get a copy of the video.
AJ 5 mos 3 weeks
AJ is such a happy baby. He smiles every time he catches my eyes looking at him even when he is half asleep.
It is so easy to take care of him. He loves eating his first solid food. He never fuzzes very long, only when he is sleepy. He loves to watch his Daddy makes a sound from smacking his lips.
For the past week he seems to be trying to crawl . He can now lift his whole body and he is on his all fours.
Everytime AJ cries, he makes a mum mum mama sound. I wonder if he is already calling me to comfort him or if he is just mumbling. Every mom wishes her child to be a gifted one, so I would like to think he is calling me though I know otherwise.
I won!
I've been an avid fan of the Dessert Comes First blog site ever since the author's Dad recommended/plugged this to me. This was back in 2005.
I was just a silent reader and had never commented on any of the posts. I enjoy every review. I look forward to visiting almost all of the restaurants which had good review. I was also wishing that I'll be featured on her blog someday.
When Lori posted her mini event on her blog, I made sure that I set my cellphone alarm on the said date and time. I was determined to win something. I wished to get the certificate for Myron since I was salivating on the steak she posted on the blog. Or the Peninsula Manila's chocolates which I have not received from my husband since Valentines 2002.
Though I did not get the food I like, I'm still lucky I won something. The best thing I won from a raffle before this was a bag of Gardenia products in the 2007 Ministop Franchisee's convention.
I really enjoyed listening to the broadcast, DJ Marco was a great and gracious host. Wish this will be a regular thing.

Leche Flan
I love leche flan, this is my favorite Filipino dessert. I like it creamy and without any bubbles.
I never fail to buy 3 Llanera from SM Makati's tiange whenever we do our groceries there. It's 3 for P100. Another good quality leche flan is from Conti's. Surprisingly this is very cheap. P95 per 6" diameter.
When i was younger, my Tita Lita and I used to cook this every Christmas or whenever we have family get together. We already forgot the recipe so we now had to find a good recipe for our Cafe.
While I was on maternity leave, Cafe staff tried it twice. They used the reliable Nora Daza's recipe. First try, the flan was ok but the caramel was pale. Second try, the caramel was ok but the texture was not nice. It looked like a taho. Which was really embarrassing.
How hard can is it to look for the perfect flan recipe...
Well, this afternoon, we tried the recipe of our new kitchen staff. And instead of steaming, we baked it via baine marie. I waited for the flan to be baked before i went home. It was worth the wait, flan was creamy, without bubbles, sugar was burned to a perfect caramel.
Hurray!!!
PS. Hay, life seemed simpler now than when i was working in IBM. I get pleasure in finding the perfect recipe and raving about it.

AJ's progress update
Originally posted on Jan 4, 2008
I've decided to start a journal/ blog of my kids. Wouldn't it be nice if they can read this years from now. i still dont have a format in mind and im not really comfortable in writing long paragraph so let's see how this goes na lang.
2 months 3 weeks
AJ smiles when we talk to him and responds with ah ah.
He is relatively calm this week, cries only when he is sleepy.
He can now turn his body to his side.
AJ was good to me this week. he lets me sleep through the night. wakes me up only when he needs feeding.
He has a lot of clothes now from christmas and from Mommy lola, he wears porma clothes everyday. sayang naman if he'll rarely use his nice clothes.
on his dec 21 visit to his doctor, Dra Vienne said that he has advanced vision as he can already see the toys hanged over the examination table. She also noticed that AJ has good back and neck muscles as he can support his head for a long time.

Home sweet Home
It was love at first sight. Wish I could say this is about my husband.
On our way to my sister-in-law's house, we passed by a townhouse under construction being sold. My hubby and I decided to check it out to get some idea for the our supposedly new home.
Upon entering the house, we saw it had indoor garden and loft which brought back memories of the vacation house in Puerto Azul which we had frequently visited when I was younger. I also loved the size of the kitchen, it was very spacious and had a lot of counter space.
Master's bedroom, bathroom is also really spacious. I guess the designer of the house targeted to sell the house to a woman. My father told me before that buying a house is an emotional decision. It should come from the heart. So when I had the love at first sight feeling, I moved heavens and earth to buy the house.
My eldest daughter would loved to have the room with a loft, but we decided to give it to my younger daughter since she can accommodate house guests. Also the loft will be her playroom.
Windows are huge, ceilings at high. A vast vacant lot is also behind our house that's why we enjoy the fresh air and cool breeze from the bay even during summer.
Slowly we are now replacing the old furnitures we had from our old house and the last to be bought is the dining set.
I'm really proud that at my age we have a great house of our own.
