Working It

Give my girl five unattended minutes in the family room and here’s what you’re sure to get.

Surprise! The cleaning lady’s (that would be me) nightmare.

I’ve already set aside our sunroom as her playroom, hoping to isolate the mess over to that one corner. Alas, no.

Can you imagine how a wisp of a girl can turn this:

Into this?

Que horror!

However, I don’t stress about the mess too much. I usually just let her have her way with her toys, remind her every so often to put away those that she doesn’t want to play with anymore, and then we would just clean up the mess together right before dinner. (All while crossing my fingers that no one should unexpectedly feel the need to drop by our home, hehe.)

Moms with more than one kid, how do you do it???

~~~

This was our messy, carefree, weekend at home.

And Thess, passed this badge on.

Thanks ladies! :)

And here are my featured friends:

2. So when Weng makes her featured friends for the week, she has to include my name and she should pick 4 or 5 more from her own list of friends.
3. She has to inform ALL her featured friends to keep the ball rolling. If you use Blogger, you can add your featured friends using the new page element ‘Link List’.

And here are my other Featured Friends: Toni, Mel, and Maan. And of course, Haze and Thess. :)

You can read everything about how this Featured Friend started by reading here and here. So keep it rolling.

For my featured friends here’s my badge for you. :)

Raise your hand!

Because I kind of realized that I have probably maxed-out the “tag-able” friends that I have in my blogroll, hehe. :)

Eversince I started this meme-blog, I’ve always tried to pass on the memes to the people whom I felt wanted, needed, or appreciated the memes I steamrolled handed over to them. As much as possible, I matched the tags to the recipients, depending on their needs or interests.

However, since I answer a minimum of one meme per day, I realized that I couldn’t very well tag the people I normally tag each and every time. Aside from the fact that I think I’m the only one in the blogosphere who probably has a high tolerance for tags, I don’t want to overly burden my recipients with more memes than they can handle. I’m trying to make friends here, not become an allergen to the blogging world or something. Besides, tags and memes only work if they are passed on. That’s the spirit of it. Seriously, I like memes and I want to answer as many memes as I humanly can. As I said, its a great way to pass the time, as well as to excercise my lethargic brain cells. However, I have found that I am limited by who I can actually tag or not. Thus, my dilemma.

And thus, this patalastas.

Friends, Romans, Tag-buddies, lend me your ears. From this day forward, I plan to make a separate blogroll for people who will agree to be recipients of my tags. If you want to be a willing victim participant, please leave your name and link in the comments section and I’ll add you. You may also indicate if you want to receive only certain types of tags (photo memes, essay memes, q&a memes, linky loves, virals, anything except virals, etc.) or all of them (if you are as game as me) so I’ll know which ones I can pass on to you. I’m sure there are some working girls out there like me who might find linky loves beneficial, and I understand that. This is a win-win thing - I help you, you help me, haha!

So please, if you want to be tagged (or not), don’t be shy to tell me. Even if I don’t know you personally, I’ll still add you and then tag you. And, of course, you can tag me. :)

Game?

Monaco tagged me about Entrecard’s User ID Number.

The rule is simple. Go to your Entrecard and click the Get Code tab. In the widget code there’s the user_id=710, as in my case. Or you can access your Entrecard widget in your sidebar and look for your user id. After that, add your user ID number below.

Example: if your Entrecard user id is 1234, then place your number and blog (and also the link) above my entry.

334 = joanjoyce
500 = My Consoling Asylum
7570 = Working It
3089 = CODPG
710 = read my mind
3283 = Blogger-Aid

I am tagging the following entrecard users: weng, thess, & ris.

Last weekend, we attended the wedding of our friends, Ella and Sherwin. It was very memorable for us because my Ninna was one of the flower girls. It was her first time to do this and I was very proud that she did her part wonderfully. :)

Totally prim and proper. For the first two minutes of the wedding, that is.

Here she is with her friend Catie, tiptoeing away from the ceremony and towards their own little princess world.

Runaway flower girls.

Finally, some down time. Bubbles for the bubbly.

Congratulations and best wishes, Sherwin and Ella! :)

Our weekend at The Ascencion Church, Boca Raton, FL.

I was tagged by Vannie, Haze, Mich, and Toni to do this meme which was started by Mitch of When Silence Speaks.

Here are the Rules:

If you still keep your baby’s first 3 days photos, We would love to see them. Label them as 1st, 2nd or 3rd day (as shown below). After that, please post the most recent one, one photo will do. You can post as much as you want though. I’m sure you will realize and tell yourself “seems like yesterday”.

Sadly, I don’t have photos of Ninna’s first three days with me right now. Pero, first three weeks meron, hehe. So that’s what I’m going to post.

This was my Ninna then…

Week 1. Day one, actually. Fresh from the oven (so to speak).

Week 2. Contentedly sunbathing by the window, trying to catch some Vitamin Ds.

Week 3. My little datu puti.

This is my Ninna now…

A whole body shot. My tall, payat, little lakwatsera.

A half body shot. Four years old going on forty.

A close-up shot. This is how we see her - lovely, precious, and perfect.

And a bonus pic…

A self-portrait. This is how she sees herself - our “not-so-little-anymore” datu puti.

For this meme, I would like to tag my fellow stage mommies Weng, Christine, Dang, Quel, Dyes, & Juliet.
