Kikay Amber

I am loving the age Amber is in now!

Before, it took us so much effort to take a picture of her. She usually doesn't look at the camera and if she does, she’ll just flash her grouchy face.

I used to think that she will always be a grumpy child. Ewan ko ba, I kept a cheerful state naman when I was pregnant with her.

But wait!

When she learned and begun interacting with people, that’s when I learned that she is just as a happy bee as me! Nailabas din nya ang itinatagong kabungis-ngisan. She squeals immediately at little things.

When it’s picture-taking time, it’s so easy to make her smile and pose at the camera. And she sometimes asks for her picture to be taken pa talaga!

Kagaya nito... wala shang pakialam kahit mga plato and baso ang background basta may camera. Haha!

Weekend Movies: The Avengers & The Vow

The last time I went to a movie theater was to watch Captain America. I had no plans of seeing The Avengers in the theater as I am living up to my being a pirata. Hehe! But after hearing so many good feedback about the movie, I decided to agree with the Hubby to watch the much awaited film and not to wait for torrents anymore.

Since I’ve taken a silent oath not to give any spoilers anymore, although it’s pointless since I’m sure almost everyone has already watched it, I’ll just comment on how my experience having a date with Nick Fury, the Hulk, Captain America, Iron Man, Thor, Black Widow, Hawkeye and Loki went. ^_^

It was FUN! It’s totally hilarious!

I now have a soft spot for the Hulk after seeing this movie. For a big fellow that he is, he is such a darling!

It reminded us to watch Thor’s movie, which never appealed to us, but we thought of seeing because we honestly don’t know much about him and his brother, Loki.

By the way, if you have watched each of the Avengers characters' movie, you will see bits and pieces of the other characters in their individual films, like how Capt. America’s shield was used by Tony Stark in Iron Man 2. etc, etc... Just an observation. ;-\

Thumbs up to The Avengers! I really enjoyed it!

**************

Come Sunday evening, I felt like watching a movie but the Hubby was so busy tinkering the sound system of his car so I decided to watch The Vow alone since he isn’t really into romantic movies anyways.

So kaka! It was a wrong idea to watch it at night. Gumising ako kanina na maga ang mata! I’ve shed too many tears for that movie! The Hubby was laughing at me. Hmpft! Di na nga ko sinamahan manood, pinagtawanan pa yung maga kong mata. Waaah! Lalo akong sumingkit!

It was easy to fall in love with Leo (Channing Tatum). Yeah, I think I’m crushing on Channing. Haha! Feeling teener lang.

But I could really feel the pain in Leo as he tries to win back his wife’s love after losing her memory, of ever meeting him, in a car accident.

There were too many inspiring and touching scenes and lines.

What I cried most about is when Leo decided to give up and told Paige that it hurts him to see Paige looking at her ex-boyfriend, Jeremy that way. It pains him to know that Paige still thought she is still in-love with Jeremy, he can say so the way she looks at Jeremy because she used to look at Leo that way. Ay grabe! I thought my heart will be torn into pieces. I wanted to reach out to Leo and claim him. Hahaha! Harot!

Back to Square One!

My creative juice is running dry!

I can’t think of ways how to make Amber drink her vitamins. She needs to take it 3-months continuously pa naman as advised by her Pedia.

Last week, she didn’t drink the “juice” I prepared for her. We can’t give it to her directly because she’ll only throw it up so I tried to camouflage it with juice drinks. I have tried several juice flavors but now, she won’t take any of it. She preferred drinking water than juice. She would do everything just to avoid drinking juice.

I wouldn’t risk mixing it with her milk because I’m 100% sure she’ll get to taste the vitamins and will refuse to drink it. Baka mamaya, madamay pa ang milk sa mga ayaw na nya inumin.

She hasn’t taken her vits for a week now. I’m so worried.

The first few weeks she drank her “juice”, we have noticed the improvement in her appetite, as in she’d always ask for something to eat. Now, her appetite is dwindling again.

Voicing Amber's latest favorite phrase, “What to do?!? What to do?!”.

Ang hirap!

One-Two-Tie My Shoe

Amber’s version of the famous Mother Goose’s counting rhyme (she recites this complete with hand action). Feel free to sing along with Amber. :)

1, 2... pah-pah shoo;

3, 4... shop-pah door;

5, 6... pick ah stick;

7, 8... lay them stray;

9, 10... a big fak hen!

^_^

Blast From The Past

Here's a picture of me and Nanay ‘SOME’ years ago. 

When I asked Amber who are in the picture, without a doubt she said, “Mommy and Nanay!”.

When I asked her naman who this girl is in this picture of mine when I was 3 years old, she said, “Amber!”.

Sorry about the grid lines, I tried to make an enlarge drawing of this picture when I was still feeling artsy-artsy a few years back.

Even she sees that we look alike! Hahaha!
