Our Superstar

January 13, 2010

Look at how Keng has grown so much. Though she is only 2, the dress I bought her for Christmas was already for 4-year-olds!

 

 

 

 

Unlike last year, she likes running around so much. We all get tired of chasing her, but we are all competing for her attention!! She is the first grandchild (and first niece!) on both sides, so she’s just soooo lucky; we are all at her mercy! hahaha. Added to the fact that she stays here only for a month in a year, we all want to maximize time with her (never mind her parents =p). Her parents are working abroad to give her a nice education and a stable life (and maybe an online life insurance for all of them). I am wishing though that she studies here. Para makasama ko siya mas madalas. hehe.

Below are two pictures taken from a studio. Next time, I’ll post pictures from my camera, capturing all facets of Keng. Yeah, she really is our superstar. We take photos of her as much as we can—all angles and all her moods. And yeah, it’s kinda hard taking pictures of her… she doesn’t wanna pose in front of cameras! (I wonder how the photographer in the studio did it.) She’s soooooooooo adorable! I’m her no. 1 fan!

 

  

 

 

 

The First Day After Holiday

Probably one of the hardest days in a year is the first day after Christmas vacation. You know you’d had to wait more or less 360 days again for Christmas to come. You still have hangover from reunions with families and friends. And when you live in the province, you still can’t get enough of the slow-paced life. Because of bargain hunting for the Best Buy, going out at nights to catch up with old friends, and waking early in day to maximize time with the little kids who already want to start the day playing or watching DVDs, you feel you hadn’t had enough rest, and yet the busy life is knocking again.

And the hardest part of all, your “normal” life isn’t giving you a transition period. You really have to start the year already. Your stress level zooms up, you become homesick, and you feel tired already—all on the first day.
