Hot Sunday.

Omar brought Winter to the office after having our late breakfast. It was so hot, Winter welcomed with too much enthusiasm the ice cream Mom gave him. My Winter is no longer a baby, he so looks like a little boy here.

A round of ice cream was not enough. He has to have his second round with a drumstick this time from his cousins.
There, he's still a baby. He still cannot handle eating ice cream the neat way. I'm happy.

It's official.

Summer is an Assumptionista na.

Omar and I enrolled her for Prep Level for SY 2010-2011. I still have to bring her certificates of attendance for her junior and toddlers level from Playschool International and her medical records to be filled up by her pedia.

I ordered for her school uniforms and had her listed for the school bus temporarily since we do not know yet if she'll be in the morning or afternoon class. I am praying for a morning session.

This is it! I have a school girl.

Kanin Club

Kuya Rey invited us for dinner. He stays with his Tita at BF Homes. He's the balikbayan but he was the one who treated us for dinner at the Kanin Club.

We had the mango thai salad for starters and I had bottomless green iced tea. Kuya Rey ordered sinigang na salmon belly, bagoong fried rice and sinigang fried rice, crispy pata, crispy dinuguan, and crispy tenga. I was a bit sad learning that he ordered turon for dessert. I was craving for Thai food for the longest time and I wanted sticky rice sana or leche flan. But when we got the turon, it was just so good! It was like halohalo with ube, macapuno, and monggo. Something papa oka got to try hehehe.
We were happy eaters once again, thanks Tito Rey. Another place to treat soon to arrive balikbayans.

Hang-over weekend

The holy week weekend was bitin so the Reantasos spent the weekend at Bulacan again. Plus, last Sunday, Winter wanted to go with Lola Olive, refusing to go with his Ate Cory and when Summer woke up and talked to her Lola Olive, she asked her Lola to go back simply because Lola did not wake her up when they left for Manila.

It was a feast. For overnight stay, Mama brought so much food!

They played poker and sang the night away.

Come lunch time, we had lunch the boodle fight way. We had too much inihaw na liempo and baked tahong.

The kids were roasted too, not just the food.

Will we see you again at Bulacan next week?

Happy Birthday Mommy!

Mommy prepared a buffet lunch for everybody at the resort. She didn't know that Daddy ordered lechon for her.

Mommy prepared kare-kare, honey chicken and spaghetti.
While we surprised her by inviting her sisters. Her brothers were invited too but they weren't able to make it.
Happy birthday Mommy! We wish you more healthy and happy years.

Prep Girl

I am so excited on posting Summer's progress for her basic education but I wanted to confirm everything first.

August 29 last year when I submitted Summer's applications for K2 Level.

She had her entrance exam on September 3.

She had her interview.

Results were released a week earlier on December 9 and she passed.

Omar and I attended the parents' partnership session on February 20. I was surprised to see that they still have Prep after K2. That must be the reason why her age is qualified under K2 when compared to other schools, she is only qualified for K1. I submitted a letter a week after requesting for re-assesment for Prep even if she's underaged. Playschool has been preparing them for Prep Level already and I do not want her to get bored with singing and playing again for K2, she might carry on the habit or the impression for big schools through out her education years.

I received a call on March 24 for Summer's schedule for her re-assessment test on the morning of March 30. We even saw her classmate from Playschool applying for Prep Level too. Summer had fever that time but we were able to push through with the test.

I was just so happy getting the call this afternoon that Summer will be accepted for Prep Level. Ang galing ng anak ko! Added bonus was a year skipped, feels like winning a free school year tuition fee. Summer will be attending Prep Level at Assumption College at Makati and she will be 5years and 3months on June.

Meeting Lauren and Lily

We met for the first time Omar's cousins - Brian and Tracy and their kids Lauren and Lily and Meimei. They're US based and every time they go home in the Philippines, Omar and I were Canada-bound.

It's nice to see girls of the same age.

And Lily was fond of Winter and vice versa.
It was just sad that we met them when they're home bound to the US. We weren't able to join them at Tagaytay and during their last dinner at Rockwell. Looking forward for more reunions with the Tsai kids. Summer and Winter had fun playing with them.
