Mia’s last quarter Firsts!

January 4th, 2010 | 2 Comments | Posted in All about Mia

Mia had a lot going in 2009. growing up to be even more beautiful and smarter is one; getting some of her firsts is another:

her first photo with Jollibee!

(well, technically because during the first Jollibee birthday party she attended we only got a video of Mia dancing somewhere in the corner of it, nearly getting sideswiped by the large bug).

Jollibee and Mia at Rinnah's birthday

this was at Rinnah’s first birthday. i don’t know why, but it seems monumental for a kid to have a memory of Jollibee etched somewhere in the form of a photograph. or else. i didn’t get to have one myself, so there goes my frustration #1 passed on.

her first Barbie doll!

from me, of course =) i regret decapitating, hairstyling, and “couture-” designing my first Barbie dolls. mia hasn’t started that phase yet, but she’s already lost the only pair of Princess Jasmine-something-or-other’s high heeled shoes, so…

and her first flower girl stint :)

my little flower girl

i couldn’t have been a prouder stage mom. she walked down (or up the bridge and down again) the aisle with no problem at all. except that before that she was running all around the venue with her 2nd cousins, her hairdo was nearly falling apart just before she was to march, and that i was running after her for fear of having a soaking, dripping flower girl walk the aisle.

my cousin’s wedding was at The Butterfly Farm; go figure why.

come to think of it, Mia’s firsts were mine too. thank goodness for digital cameras too. hehe.

how about it, what were your favorite firsts (either as a mom or your own when you were a kid)?

Butterfly Haven

April 15th, 2008 | 14 Comments | Posted in Photoblogging, Ready jetset go!

I think I’ve developed a new kind of phobia — being scared that summer will soon be over and I have not made the most out of it. So being the proactive person that I am, I have taken advantage of free and/or long weekends to soak in as much sun and swim in as much water. And I think I’ve been imposing myself on Mia too.

Just about an hour and thirty minutes away from Manila, a butterfly haven is nestled in the heart of Pulilan, Bulacan in an unassuming old house. The place doubles as a wedding reception site, a resort, a tourist spot, and even movie/TV locations. More »

Splash!

Mia and I enjoyed a bit of summer fun at the Pulilan Butterfly Farm in Bulacan. Three swimming pools, nice landscaping, good company, and lots of food. Good times.

And yeah, they breed butterflies for use in weddings and events.

Glass Tomb

Too bad, I wasn’t able to take a photo of a live butterfly. Am too scared. Seriously.

More photos on my next travel post. :)
