SIBLING: let me define it with Danie and Maikee's today heated conversation......

they were both arguing about Math (Maikee is a Math whiz if you ask me. he's just got Math logic and i don't). Danie wanted to make her point clear to Mike and she went adamantly like this:
" i know these things, Mike. do you why i'm in 7th grade?!?!?! do you why i'm in 7th grade!?!?"
then Maikee answered his Ate confidently:
"i know why! that's because i was last! figure that part out, duh!!!!"

now, that's Math.

kids.


today, Maikee had to see his dentist again. but the staff are always happy to see him. that's because he doesn't fly off the handle or scream at the top of his lungs as if he's being slaughtered without anesthesia or novocain.


and check him out. he doesn't look too cheerful> that's for sure. but i tell you, he was brave! he keep telling us that this is him preparing himself for the army. he can't wait until he's 12 because he can join the young army program. thanks to Uncle Marshal



RANDOM:

right on our neighborhood. how amazing is that?


Jana and her hunter family. she shot this gigantor dude on her birthday> nov. 24. 05


what a shot, Jan!


Gabby was also doing Math. i just hope she's not left handed. this is so her> you can always spot her like this in the house, if not holding a pen, you'll see her reading/learning, doing exhibitions> Gabby style!

Maikee turned 8> eight!!! of course we celebrated. it was a day of celebration. i prepared his favorite> fondue and got some Gigantor Crab. had 2 cakes. one we had at the church then one here at home. sad but i didn't bake his cakes. this year, he's a little grown up...
not much on gifts but he wanted>>> he calls it "credit card"> in other words: gifts cards, so we got him 2







and went shopping. and boy did he had fun! can you guess what he spent his money on? Ding-ding-dinggg! you guessed it right! camouflage stuff!!!! he's not over that stage yet, i can say it from my heart.




anyhow, Eye Candy is up, you imaginary people! and please check the gallery. i had fun> total fun> i had an easy time this time> i had notions from left to right. The Boss: Jennifer. her altered stuff>>> amazing. she's been into that lately and she's got it> she's natural. and boy was i excited when i found out that Maria Grace Abuzman was our flavor of the month. her work always amazes me. how does she do it? she just came back from the Philippines and taught classes. looks like the Filipino are going with the flow with this new and improved hobby. well not so new... but definitely improved.

so Philippines, please welcome to the world of scrapbooking where once you start, there is no turning back!!!!

Easter today and it is just like Christmas here in the house. i was feeling domestic and wanted to make some cupcakes but i couldn't find the jumbo size cups for cupcakes. i'm so bummed out about that! ugh!!!

we decorated eggs> no we're not pagans. we're just a family which consisted with bunch of artists who loves to have fun .... this time with eggs> making it all interesting and cute... also who loves to eat eggs after we had hid and hunted them.

yes, i do celebrate the fact that Christ died for us. it's the main deal why we have easter in the calendar> not for the bunny.... but the fact that Christ did not remain dead in the tomb but He arisen and brought life to all who believes in Him. i have nothing against multi color decorated eggs> it's just another way or form of celebration. and why not?

now in to the sharing part:

{the captured blue purple speckled egg.}


{Maikee wanted green but for some reason i emerged Mike's boiled egg in blue dye> nahhh.. it's stilll an egg.}

{before leaving for church this morning. as always , i make sure i get a good shot of these two while they're still in the good mood> before they're both camera sick. though already Maikee looked very cheerful>>> i'm being sarcastic.}

{we mothers do this every year: every holiday if possible>needless to say this was the best pose ever yet! may not be perfect but it was the best- bar none, dude! i truly miss the other tikes who aren't in the picture now.}


{Tim and Danie> these two were the originals> check these teen and soon to be pre-teen> boy have they grown?! trust me, they both didn't want to do this. BUT what can i say, i was the control freak bad bunny.}




















{Kuya Steve as they know him. Steve is the kid's proclaimed Uncle. he's the closest Uncle they can have here in the States. drop dead gorgeous Abby. always been and she certainly make those reading glasses looks appealing: un-nerdy.}











{ha! something i don't see often > MOI in the picture!
i cherish this so much. looking at this picture truly makes my heart stop. these guys have amazingly brought joy to me> daily}










{seriously, would you really want to crunch these away? these are way too cute}
