Toddler Drawing

Last Saturday, I wanted to catch up on my sleep debt since we’re not scheduled to visit my family in Las Pinas. Staying in QC on weekends means more sleeping for me.

Hubby had to leave Ayex and me early because he has his me-time somewhere else. Our family time was scheduled later that day with my girlfriends so there’s no need to wake up early.

I was fortunate enough that Ayex slept with me until 9AM. But when she woke up, she started bugging me to go out with her and play. I know. It was weekend and I’m suppose to dedicate my whole time and energy to her. But a couple more hours of sleep won’t hurt right?

I told her to go outside already and play and that I’ll get up in a bit. Every fifteen minutes or so, she would come back to our room and tell me Mommy lika na! Wake up na! She did this for more than 5 times, I think. Yeah, I’m that sleepy and my hurting back makes me want to lie flat on the bed more! Ayex probably got tired of urging me to stand up and play with her. So she went outside and when she came back, she already has her notebook and crayon with her.

She sat beside me and started pouring out the contents of her bag, mostly crayons. She lied on her chest and started doodling. Here is her drawing.


I asked what it is and she said in a soft voice Banana. I looked at the picture again and indeed, it has a shape similar to a banana only that it is in blue and is inverted! I took a picture of it right away and sent it to hubby!

I’m really hoping that Ayex will grow as a creative person like her Titas.

Words of a Two Year Old

This was supposed to be posted yesterday…

The past weekend went well. We had to go back in LP again after July 18 visit because we’re celebrating our Nanay Isay’s 85th birthday.

The birthday celebration was a blast! I met a cousin whom I last saw when he was just about 5 years old and I was… never mind. free image hosting We were both part of our Tito Noel’s and Tita Chique’s bridal entourage.

Apart from Herbert, I also met my Kuyas, who both now have their own families! Quota na sila! Both of them have 2 kids already – a boy and a girl. Ours, it’s part of the roadmap. free image hosting

We were in LP at around 1PM and the celebration officially started at around 7PM and ended at midnight. It was tiring but fun.

On our way to my mom’s place, I vowed that we’ll just sleep the whole Sunday morning. I know, I thought of that already. It has been two weeks since I last heard the Sunday mass. Bad. So we slept the whole morning. I woke up at 10AM because I had to go to the bathroom but I intend to go back to sleep. Unfortunately, both hubby and Ayex were already awake when I returned to our room.

Both hubby and I are still lying on the bed while Ayex sat beside hubby. We are still very lazy. After a while Ayex bluntly said Asan na yung bag ko?! (Where is my bag?). Tuwid na tuwid yung pagkasabi niya na talagang natawa kami! (She said it very clearly that we laughed out of amusement). She is referring to my used-to-be lunch bag/milk bag, which she now use as her toy storage. Ayex is really growing too fast that she has new words to say everyday.

Sunday went by. We killed the time by watching local channels as we don’t have cable TV in LP. Gab and I were supposed to go to the salon for some treatment but it started raining. Soon it was time to go home.

Good thing we left LP earlier than usual. By the time we reached Trinoma, it was raining very hard and traffic is jammed! We reached home safe. After dinner, we didn’t bother to watch TV anymore. Mon, Ayex and I lie on our bed while playing. Ayex was moving from side to side while saying random words. I can’t understand most of them as her voice is low. Then she said this loud and clear: Mahal ko si Mommy Nicquee (I love Mommy Nicquee). My heart melted. I asked what was that and she happily said it again.

Home Investments

Nope, we haven’t invested for our own house if that’s what you are thinking. We don’t have sufficient funds yet but it’s in the works. On the contrary, I’m pertaining to home furniture, if these are classified as such. Hehehe.

These have been sitting in my photo album for more than a week now due to laziness. These are the latest addition to our home stuff – most of which came as wedding presents. I’m just glad I looked into those electric roisterer, we were introduced to a bargain deal – a real bargain deal!

This is the main reason why we went to the mall despite of the A H1N1 scare. We badly need to replace the old stove because its burner already cracked and might pose danger if we continue using it. The brand is HYUNDAI and the stove looks like and industrial stove. Pretty neat-looking, too!

This is an LG 21L microwave oven. I was looking at an electric roisterer when hubby asked me if I’m still interested in other items. I said no. He then asked if I want to check on their microwave ovens. The saleslady, after hearing that said that they have a current promo. From PhP4500, the microwave is down to PhP2000. That is more than 50% off the tag! If not for that, I wouldn’t have convinced myself to get one. Now, reheating food at home is breeze.

Next investment, probably a new sala set. We need to replace the current one soon!

Hi there! I'm Nicquee and this is my little space in this world wide web. I'm a mom of two and is happily married. I started this blog as literally my online journal where I dump my emotions. Over the years, I realized that there is more to write about. Feel free to browse through and I hope you find a thing or two that is relatable to you. If that happens, give me a shout-out!
