Parent's day celebration...

Celebrated Parent's Day at Xia's school a few weeks ago.  Kids prepared surprises for us and that included personal notes. They read their notes aloud in class and what Xia wrote for me and to the 3 parents I personally know are the things we consistently do for them...

Xia knows me and appreciates me as her tutor because no matter how difficult it is for me as a busy working mom, I take time to provide guidance on her studies.  I am a cheerer, supporter and her #1 fan too...  Of course she remembers our reward system (she works hard for every toy she gets)! ;)

Thank you, Xia!  This means a lot to me...  I will always cheer you up and cheer you on!!! 😘❤👄😘

best travel buddy

I can't wait for another travel adventure with Xia!  It's going to be soon, yahoo!!!

Xia is the coolest travel buddy.  She loves the airplane rides, the sightseeing, learning the culture of other people...  I wish she would love the food, too - but being the picky eater that she is, that's the least that she finds pleasure in.  I am sure she will get there in no time :)  Mamamana din nya for sure ang katakawan ko hehehe...

Here's reminiscing some of our travels together that didn't make it into this blog because I was too lazy...  Still hoping I can document the details here soon when I go into my sabbatical from work.

So fun to travel with my little miss!  She's no-fuss, always-on-the-go, can-walk-miles kind of a companion, really awesome!!! 

We are off again in two weeks to bond more and collect precious memories (and great pictures) again!!!  

Another GOLD!!!

My heart is full.  Thank you Lord for the blessings!  Xia made it again as Gold Eagle awardee for Grade 2 1st term.

The struggle is real but the hardwork and exhaustion paid off!!!

 

Thank you for always making us proud, Xia!!!

xia: my everything!

Xia has grown up so fast!  I can't really stop the time no matter how much I want to.  I just enjoy every moment with her...

We call each other BFFs (yes, best friends forever!).  At this early, I am already telling her that we will not keep secrets to each other and we will trust each other no matter what - because that's what bestfriends do...  😊😊😊

I am always looking forward to our time together.  I have given up my own social life because time with her is more precious.  When she's grown up and would prefer her friend's company, then maybe I can go back to having social life haha!

So happy for long weekends and beach trips which we both really liked.  And I enjoy the trips without a yaya because I can be what I really want to be:  a mom!

Xia has got it all!!!

I can't stop thanking God for blessing me with Xia - the ever smart, talented and pretty kid!!!

Today, she received her Gold Eagle award at the Final Honors awarding ceremony!

Unfortunately, the official pictures from the awarding will not be available until a month after.  So will post the behind the scenes for the meantime...

I am soooo happy that our hardwork last schoolyear paid off!  It was a lot of hardwork really!!!  Success is way too sweet now :)

Aside from getting her Gold Eagle award, Xia showcased her dancing diva skills when her class performed a dance number during the ceremony.  Not being biased about it, but Xia was the best dancer among all of them.  This video will certainly prove my claim!
