Happy Feet

I had a check-up with my ob-gyne today, a month and a week after I gave birth. Before we went to the doctor, we dropped by my mom’s place at Las Pinas first since it’s been a month ago since we saw each other. Since we’re already in the area, Gabby and I took the opportunity to have a little pampering and I’m glad we did.

We planned to have manicure-pedicure but we ran out of time becaue when we came to the salon, our manicurist still have a client so we had to wait. The wait was worth it even if we didn’t get to have our manicure. I now have pretty feet!

Pardon the picture. I’m afraid to wear other colors specially red so my usual color is platinum because it compliments my feet complexion the best. But today, I deviated from platinum because it bores me already and tried this red Bobbie polish. And voila, I can’t believe how good it looks on my feet!

Mr. Sun

Did you notice the circle? Almost perfect right? Ayex used one of her DVDs to draw it by herself according to her Lolo. I am amazed! Looks like she’s picking a lot from Playhouse Disney’s Art Time!

Meet and Greet the Sesame Street Characters

It took me a while before I signed up for Facebook. Everyone is already crazy about it and its various games but I continue to ignore the invitations I get. Why? Because I didn’t like to have another account to maintain. However, various friends finally convinced me when they introduced me to contests that you can find in Facebook only. So I signed up.

Most of the contests in Facebook are based on popularity. The entry that gets the most number of Likes wins. Being someone who is online due to work, I wasn’t able to focus on such contest, reducing my chances of winning to the tiniest. I’m glad though that I’ve discovered various promotions by smartparenting.com.ph over Facebook.

One of the promotions smartparenting.com.ph had was about Sesame Street. All you have to do is tell them your child’s best Sesame Street story and they will choose who will win. I like contests like this because no voting is involved. I made sure to join because Ayex loves Elmo so much that she watches her DVD almost the whole day! Below is the entry that gave us two tickets to the Sesame Street Summer Fiesta last April 17 at the Mall of Asia.

Since I had work, I asked my sister, Gabby, to pick up our ticket on my behalf. Good thing her shift starts in the afternoon.

When I got home, I showed Ayex our tickets and asked her who are the characters she sees. She was very excited to answer and got more excted when I told her we’re seeing them in person!

I was wrong though. We didn’t see Elmo and Cookie Monster. Instead, we met with Ernie and Bert. I was a bit frustrated and Ayex kept asking where is Elmo. In the end, she still enjoyed the whole thing and even kissed Ernie and Bert. Up to now, when she remembers the event, she tells us the story but still asks where is Elmo. I hope one day, she’ll really get to greet Elmo live.
