Justine loves playing with his building blocks toy. He created anything he just imagines without anyone teaching him how to make it. He used to imitate the examples in the manual that comes with the toy but since he lost that manual a few months ago he started forming what he imagine on his own. And then after he comes up with an art he will ask me to take photos of it.


Justine and I bought a cake and ice cream on my Mama's birthday. That was actually the first cake I bought for my Mama on her birthday because we actually don't celebrate our birthday's.
I just love Justine's taste! When we bought the cake at Red Ribbon he eagerly picked the White Forest Cake which turns out to be a delicious cake ever. It has white chocolate coating and white chiffon on the inside with cherry cream in between.


Just recently I have heard the news from ABC 5 that there are already 117 students died in Dengue. Students are already advised to wear long pants and jackets in school to avoid mosquito bites which maybe carrying a dengue virus.

As a mom I also protect Justine even if his not going to school. I bought an insect repellent lotion for kids which I apply after he takes a bath. Justine like it since it has a fresh fragrance.

I used to despise Justine's taste of fashion because he likes to wear jackets and pajamas even if the sun is up. Now I don't have to worry about mosquitoes even if his playing outside eh kasi naman balot na balot xa. hehehe The downside of this nga lang is that madalas magpalit ng damit si Justine because of sweat so maraming labahan. :D


August 27, 2010 It was Justine's 5th birthday. I only plan for a small preparation good for our family and Justine's closest playmates in the neighborhood. I've been promising to buy him a big character cake a few months before his birthday so its one thing I did not forgot. As I book for the reservation of the cake they offer me balloons at a cheap price and so I included it. I also prepare loot bags that Justine will be giving to his friends.
On the day of his birthday my mom and a neighbor friend help each other prepare the food. At the afternoon I took Justine to the church to attend a mass. I ask my cousin to pick-up the cake and balloon so that Justine will be surprise. When we arrived at the house he was indeed surprised because he has 2 cakes! And oh me too was surprised. My former boss ask my colleagues to buy a birthday cake for Justine without me knowing and they delivered it at the house since 1 of them know my house address already. I was really surprised and thankful specially seeing Justine happy face feasting at his cakes. Later on, Justine also had fun playing with his friends and giving them his birthday loot bags and balloons...

Look what Justine's did today!


Nobody teaches him how to fix his clothes but he do see us fixing his clothes. And there are times like this that he is in the mood to fixing all his riot clothes in his drawer. After doing it Justine felt very accomplished and reward me with a hug and a kiss. hehehe... Yeah, no kidding its me who received a reward after!

My little Justine is currently addicted to Hi 5! It keeps him entertain all the time. He loves the show so much that he watch the videos I've downloaded all the time. Hi-5 is an educational show provides learning and exercising through play, music and dance for kids.

Last Sunday I spent my time shopping and strolling with mama and Justine at Limketkai. It was actually the first time I get to bring mama at the mall since she doesn't like going to Malls. We had a great time that day specially me. I was so happy seeing both mama and Justine having fun at the Toy Kingdom rides, buying dresses, t-shirts, toys and food trip. Although nakakainis lang minsan kasi ang kulit-kulit ni Justine takbo ng takbo kung saan marami pa namang tao sa mall.


Our last stop was Missy Bon Bon. I treat mom and Justine since I often take home cakes from Missy Bon Bon and his loving it, now I wanna let them the Gelato which I cant take home since it melts fast. Mom was having hard time picking what bread to eat since according to her "all are delicious!" until she choose the Sliced Orange Cake. While Justine run immediately to the cakes section and pick the Caramel Cheese Cake. As for me I tried the drink that is new to my eyes - the Ice Coffee drink, I love it! Another additional favorite that will let me come again in Missy Bon Bon. And ofcourse we ordered Gelato in which Justine cried out for Blueberry Cheese Gelato, mom had the Mango flavor and I had Tiramisu.


While my buddy (Prixie and Machingan as I call them, hehehe) will help me a lot with my work. Justine's will also help him a lot in his learning. Just recently I found this perfect buddy for Justine. He has been enjoying it very much as well as very happy playing with it. I was glad to found this new buddy for Justine because it would really help me a lot. Not only in entertaining him so that he wont bother me while I'm working but also it help me teach Justine some basic learning. The features of Justine's buddy is that it helps him learn the numbers, alphabets, children songs, spelling of the word, pronunciation of the word, matching the words and it also has a game that will let him look for the number and alphabet (Its actually like a quiz that will ask him; Where is the letter J?). And to think, I just bought it for Php 120 ($3 in USD)! I would encourage other moms to buy it too because it so perfect for learning kiddos. I also bought Justine a new notebook where it really matches his buddy since he learn to draw the letters in it. Now I don't have much problem keeping Justine busy. Although there are times when he still disturbs me when he wants me to guide him in playing with his buddy or when I want silence and his buddy is so noisy dictating alphabets, numbers and words.
