A Wonderful Life

Sophia’s 1st Moving Up Day

March 26th, 2011 chris

Our eldest child Sophia just had her first moving up ceremony today held in the club house of Lexington Village. She just finished Nursery from HATCH Education. In attendance are Myluv, Mommy Imy, Calixto, and Tito Maning. The time of the event was from 10AM to 12NN but it went on till around 12:45PM.

In the ceremony, the children had some presentations and one of those presentations they acted like commercial models. Sophia received a medal for her “Busy Bee” Award. Sophia got the award because she was always busy during classes never having an idle second.

They celebrated in Jollibee after for a Jolli-lunch.

I missed the event due to work but glad to hear everything that happened today from my lovely wife.

Great Day!

Fun Shots Pictorial

August 23rd, 2008 chris

Myluv and our kids, sophia and calixto, were in Mirriam College this afternoon for Myluv’s graduation photo shootout. Myluv had been preparing for this day for two weeks now, planning how the Fun shots part of the pictorial will be taken. She has decided to include sophia and calixto for the fun shots and bought white dresses for them so they would look like little angels with their mom in the shoot. While myluv was getting her hair done by the hairdresser in Mirriam, the two little angels were manhandling their yaya who was outside the dressing room. This prompted myluv to call me for help. And I came to their rescue after 2 hours. By that time, calixto was already asleep and sophia was already tamed but not without tears in her eyes.

What a wonderful pictorial, sophia and calixto were wearing wings like their mom. They looked like a family of human white butterflies. Wishing they find a flower to park on. After the shootout and while preparing to go home, sophia wanted so badly to keep her wings. Luckily when they try to give back the wings to its owner, she happily offered to give it to sophia. Thanks a lot for making our little angel keep her wings. Now sophia can really fly high.

A Cinderella Evening

August 19th, 2008 chris

We have been waiting for this day, finally I will be again watching a live musical play since Alladin in Greenbelt 3 years ago. The day was perfect. Myluv doesn’t have a class today since it’s Quezon City Day. I’ll be coming home around 4pm and have 2 hours to get ready till we leave at 6pm to get to CCP before the 8pm show. Well, it turned out that we left the house at 7:30pm and arrived at CCP around 8:15pm. We almost didn’t get to see the first act because we were already late. Luckily we were still allowed to enter the Theater, a minute later then we would have not been that  lucky and the lady in uniform will be blocking the entrance door.

The performance was great. The cast was just around 20 people, majority are caucasians. Leah I think is just one of three or four asians in there. I liked seeing Leah better when she was wearing the normal clothes, like the clothes of a classic snow white, than the gown she wore dancing with Prince “Christopher + 10 other First names”.

Cameras were not allowed inside so we had to deposit it to the guard. We instead took pictures on the parking lot after the show.

One information I learned from this play on Cinderella’s story is that the mice were turned to horses and the rats were turned to men. I thought before, that there was another animal other than a rodent that was included in Cindy’s crew.

Another evening to remember with the company of myluv.

Myluv

August 2nd, 2008 chris

After my wife answered my question, she then suggested that we give each other a name which we can call each other instead of our normal given names. There was this list (or is there) of candidate names that we have come up. The following are just a partial listing:

  • Love
  • Sweet
  • Honey
  • Sugar
  • Honey Buns
  • Baby
  • Darling
  • Darlington
  • Burlington
  • Master
  • Slave

We finally chose the perfect one. Which is Myluv (pronounceed as “My love”).

4 years after answering a question

July 31st, 2008 chris

I brought out my wife to a date, to celebrate our 4 year anniversary since she finally answered my question - “What is your favorite color?” Red? Blue? Green? - It’s rainbow. Well, I found a pot of gold at the end of it and after 3 months we were married. We went to Pier 1 Restaurant in Ortigas. The food is okay.

We ordered

  • Inihaw na Pusit
  • Baked Oyster
  • Onion Rings
  • Plain Rice - 3 orders
  • Strawberry Shake
  • Ripe Mango Shake

We came there still early in the evening, around 7pm and left at around 8:11pm. We didn’t get to see the band that have a gig that night because the show starts around 9pm, which is already late for me because I still need to wake up at 1am, which is less than 5 hours when we left, to report to work.

The night went well, as we had a simple dinner, enjoying the time alone without the kids. Plus I had a surprise for my wife - Tickets to Cinderella featuring Lea Salonga on Aug 19, 2008 at CCP. Another Date to look forward on.
