Twinkle’s Pet Sisiw Named OJE (Orange)

November 9, 2018 / Filed Under: All Saint's Day, Twinkle

Whenever it’s November 1 and it’s All Saint’s Day, it has been a tradition on peanutbutter’s side of the family to visit their departed loved ones in the cemetery. This doubles as a pre-family reunion to Christmas.

My MIL and her siblings, their sons and daughters (peanutbutter♥‘s cousins), and their kids also come to visit and pray.

This year, I think everyone was present. Twinkle even got to play with her cousins who were the same age as her. They bonded over pizza and dirty ice cream. Each one even got one of those colored sisiw’s (chicks) from their Lola Lucy.

Of course, Twinkle brought home her orange sisiw and named him “OJE”. It’s actually “Orange” but she’s bulol, so that’s how she calls him. To keep “Oje” healthy, alive, and happy, daddy made him a makeshift “home” out of an ice box, Ykaie’s Hello Kitty light, and some soil from his plants….

I remember one of Ykaie’s pet — a hermit crab named Sweet Chili and of course, our dear old JayR because we’re starting to keep pets again.

Oje is now 9 days old and Twinkle is very happy taking care of him.

Twinkle’s First Week At Angel Beats Play and Development Center

September 10, 2018 / Filed Under: education, school, Twinkle

School girl na rin si Twinkle! Last week was Twinkle’s first week of school…

Can you believe that? It was like it was just yesterday when Twinkle was born and now she is going to school. Well, not to big school. We enrolled her at Angel Beats Play and Development Center, a prime play school here in Caloocan that offers multiple services specifically for child development. It’s near ate Ykaie’s school and I happen to see it one morning after taking Ykaie to school. A first, I thought it was just a play center but upon closer look, I found out that they offer different kinds of services such as Play and Learn for toddlers, School Readiness for pre-schoolers (ages 3-5), Focus Modules (skillset trainings), Communication Therapy, and Occupational Therapy.

Twinkle still has a long way to go when it comes to speech and we thought that going to class, socializing, and playing with kids her age will do her a lot of good. Talking to the teachers and admins at Angel Beats Play and Development Center and having them assess her before starting class really helped us gauge how Twinkle is. So far, she is doing well. Everything that she knows and what she can do is what every 3 year old does but she needs to develop her speech more. I think I may be a little guilty why she’s late in terms of communication — it’s because I let her play on our celphones.

First Day of School must-have: Absolute Distilled Drinking Water

Anyway, she goes to class every other day on a T-TH-S schedule. She loves it there!

Here’s a peek of what’s inside…(Thanks teachers for letting me take pictures, pwede more pa next time?) See? what kid wouldn’t want to stay in a place that looks fun? The teachers are super bait, super patient and super knowledgeable about kids! Twinkle stays there for two hours and it seemed like it’s not enough. There are 10 kids in every class and three teachers who handles them. Teacher to kids ratio is 1:3 which means natututukan talaga sila. The teachers even update the parents on what their child did that day every time they fetch them. So I know twinkle listens to her teacher. (Thanks Teacher Jove♥!)

When she got home the first day, she was so happy she got stars and she immediately showed it to her ate Ykaie.

She also showed what activity she did and her homework….

And her nanay Pinky? She also go so excited, she bough Twinkle a lot of clothes for OOTD every school day….

So here she is on Day 2….

and mala-Cinderella oufit on Day 3.

Tomorrow is gonna be a PINK day for her…

Twinkle is Three! + Birthday Celebration at The Alley

August 20, 2018 / Filed Under: birthdays, peanutbutter♥, Twinkle

So August is ending and it’s just now that I’m sharing what we did to celebrate Twinkle and her daddy’s birthday.

Yep. Our Twinkle turned three on the last week of June…. She and her daddy celebrated their birthday together by treating the fam at The Alley in U.P. Town Center.

Our original plan to celebrate her birthday was a Pineapple Themed party somewhere in Pangasinan. Syempre, swimming party ulit just like what we did on her 2nd birthday which was a Mermaid Themed Party. Kaya lang nanay got sick last May and got bedridden so we had to cancel all Summer plans.

So what we did was just a birthday salubong with cake and her favorite Elsa costume on the day of her birthday.

And because she loved blowing the candles on her cake, she got another cake the next day…

Birthday Celebration at The Alley

Since Twinkle and peanutbutter♥‘s birthday is just one week apart, we had one celebration that weekend at The Alley in U.P. Town Center.

The Alley is Viking’s new take on the eat-all-you-can experience which is inspired by an international street food hall. So para syang Food Park serving international dishes. You can to order from 15 different food stations. Everything from fish and chips to tusok-tusok the fish balls are available.

So, there I was at the Just Steak A Minute ordering my small serving of steak and of course, fish balls…..

and I caught Ykaie at Hunneycomb having dessert in between of her meals! Of course, she needed some rest from the savories… I perfectly understand..LOL!

Rome was at Buono, checking out pizzas and pastas. That truffle cheese pasta prepared on a cheese wheel was just divine!I wonder how much a cheese wheel costs?? Mag-ganun kaya ako sa bahay?…. LOL

Papa Sony is such a fan of Chinese dishes that his first stop was Hao Chi… I found him with fried rice, sio mai, hakaw, and chicken feet.

Another pizza and pasta fan is my peanutbutter♥. Pagbigyan na nain sya with the carbloading because it’s his birthday celebration after all.

Pagkaganda namang magtataho nito… syempre sabi ko — kapatid ko yan eh.. hahaha (peace, ate)

This is Nords Coffee Bar on one side where you can order your favorite coffee and Kegz on he other where you can order beer and he drink of the day, which turned out to be a Margarita, when we were there….

And so here we are, seated on separate tables.

The Birthday Girl

Happy Birthday to two of my favorite people in the world!
