As promised

Well, I promised some more pics. Here they are. Each photo will open in its own window or tab. I went this way so you wouldn't have to keep hitting the back button. I hope that's O.K. Well, I'm going to start with Miss Jodi, and go from there. I hope you enjoy!


This picture is of Miss Jodi. Miss Jodi, as you probably already know, is Jasmine's ballet teacher. She is incredibly gifted and patient. The children love the way she teaches. She makes learning fun, while making it interesting. Even after disciplining a couple of the girls, they still loved her and wanted to be in her class. She has been a godsend, just by making our princess feel so comfortable and energized about ballet. Every week, Jasmine looks forward to going to class, and talks about Miss Jodi and what she learned all week long. Thank you Miss Jodi!

Our little photographer!

Hubby did this photo for me to put on the blog. I just didn't get the chance. Sorry, everyone. And sorry to you, honey-ko.

Serious about her work

Well, it's been a week since Mother's Day, and what a busy week it's been.

I had to cook nearly a ton of pancit for the Asian Pacific heritage celebration. It took a couple days and a whole lot of effort, but the results paid off. Everyone who tried it loved it. I was really pleased with the results.

Hubby was able to attend Jasmine's ballet class, where he was impressed by her efforts. She's really learning the steps and movements. It's something she loves doing, especially when one of us is there to watch her perform. Her teacher, Miss Jodi, is really something. She knows how to make it fun, which makes them enjoy learning.

Today, I was at work. You know that means daddy daughter day. They stayed home most of the day. Hubby said Jasmine was being "testa durra" and refusing to listen. When she finally settled down, they went out to Subway and had a sandwich together. She's like her daddy that way. They both love a good sandwich. Jasmine likes the meatball and hubby eats the Italian.

Well, I'll post some more later. And don't worry; I'll be hitting everyone's blogs over the next 2 days. Don't forget, my other blog is still up. I just updated it, and it has some more details about my day. I've also taken a couple sponsored posts. Please don't let that dissuade you from visiting.

Thanks for visiting. God bless!
Ciao

To all my friends, online and offline, I heartily say “Good day!”

It’s been a while since my last update here. I’m sorry for taking so long; I got so busy here for the last few weeks. I started working my part time job during the week, and when I'm off I also take care of my friend’s son and my daughter starting last Tuesday. Between my daughter and her son, it takes time away from the pc usually. They are usually so hyperactive that I end up bringing them outside, maybe to the park, just to enjoy and had fun. That way they won’t make our house a disaster all the time. Golly, it’s amazing how they get so hyper.

Last Monday, April 28, my friends and I had a surprise baby shower for our friend Maria. She was so happy, she even almost cried. I’m glad that she loved the idea. As usual, there were tons of food; everyone brought their own favorite recipe. I myself cooked my favorite spaghetti, chicken BBQ, Leche flan, and cakes. They brought favorites like dinuguan (hubby says “Yuck! Just thinking about it, oohhh, yuck!”), lumpia, menudo, and pancit. It was an enjoyable time and one made memorable for our good friend Maria.

Tuesday was the first day of the second session for Jasmine’s ballet class with Miss Jodi. Jasmine was excited to go to ballet as usual. With us is my friend’s son Joel. We’re the only one who arrived early. There were some new girls attending. Jasmine smiled like a Cheshire cat, she was so happy. She loves to learn the steps, but seemed a little distracted by the new girls. Then after the class, Miss Jodi talked to me about putting Jasmine in the group of 4 year olds. That way the new girls won’t distract her, and she’ll learn quicker. It would also change ballet day to Thursday. And it would last two hours instead of the one hour she gets now. I am eager and excited for her to go to the new group. She’ll really learn more and her joy will be even more boundless. she did well on the class every time, and I am so proud of her. It helps that Miss Jodi is exceptionally good with the kids; she seems to have a gift for teaching the little ones to dance.

On Wednesday, we went to Jasmine's dermatologist appointment for her allergy test. It was confirmed that she is allergic to hazelnuts, peanuts, and Birch pollen. We’ll find out this week what kind of response needs to be taken for her exposure to nuts. I prayed that she is only mild in this allergy.

Thursday Jasmine stayed with my friend, Gerlie, playing with her two-year-old son. Anyway, soon Jasmine will be in CDC if a slot opens up. I finally decided to take a regular job in the bagger section to help hubby, plus I make decent money. But if it doesn’t work well, I can quit anytime I want to. After work, they picked me up and headed to the fest here in Hohenfels. Every year we have a German-American Volksfest. It’s an exciting event for the kids, and us older kids. Everyone gets to enjoy all the rides available. When we got there, we saw all our friends, so we sat at one table while having our favorite fest foods. We were just talking, taking pictures, and so on. It was great seeing everyone in the fest. We ended up going home late, even though I was tired. We were still happy that Jasmine had such a good time on all the rides. Gosh, she loves to ride! I even had to go on one; it’s like a rocket, which made me dizzy. I’m getting dizzy again just remembering it.

Friday, I worked again. It’s not so busy because everyone was at the fest. But I still did well on that day. Same routine, Dada and Jasmine pick me up and we went to the fest. We take all the time to enjoy and let Jasmine have fun riding on the horses, and her favorite rides. When the fest ends, it will be a year before they have another one.

Saturday Jasmine has to stay with Dada, and I had to work. That’s the reason I hardly had anytime to blog hop and update my blogs. Sorry for the neglect, my friends.

It doesn’t help that hubby has been playing “Medieval II: Total War.” He plays it a lot, which means I can’t get on the computer. He is such a big kid when it comes to this “Total War” series of games. He wants to beat the game and rule the world. He knows it’s not real, but just gets so into it. First, he played the main game and won as England, and then he moved on to the Crusades expansion. It’s crazy, if you ask me. Then he also spends a large amount of time editing all the photos we take. Sorry, enough of my silly digressing.

After work, I went home and took a break to spend time with my little princess. Then I took a shower and went to see the fireworks display at the fest. For the first time, Jasmine enjoyed the fireworks display. She was even clapping for joy and shouting for “More, higher up in the sky!!!” It was so cute hearing her say things like that. After the show, we finally bid goodbye to the fest and went home. Jasmine was happy to see the fireworks and talk about it on the way home.

Sunday, I woke up early to do an update here, before doing anything (like daddy) diverting me. Next, I’ll clean house and go to do some laundry. I’m hoping we can skip the fest today because hubby works early tomorrow, and we need some down time.

To everyone who visits my little site, thank you for your time and messages. They really brighten a busy day. Please keep it up. I’ll be hog-tying hubby to get the use of the computer if he keeps playing his game, so I will visit all of you in the next couple days. Happy Sunday and remember to have fun with your family and friends.

God Bless!
Ciao!

Tulips!

Hello Friends,

I felt like sharing some of my hubby's photos taken with his Canon EOS Camera. It’s amazing how my hubby loves taking pictures and learning every aspect of focus and light. He really enjoys the process of learning the digital world. So today, I felt like highlighting his talent in this blog post. The pics are below.

Anyway, here’s wishing everyone a great weekend, I hope you all enjoy and have a great time with your family and friends. And, of course, I would like to say thanks to everyone who passes by my place. I appreciate your visits and look forward to your comments. God bless!
Ciao!

Aloha!
Wishing everyone a great Friday! I’m sure everyone loves Friday just like me. :-) For me, Friday is one of the best days. I've been waiting for it to come, it means time out for me, and time for daddy daughter bonding. Of course, then we have Sunday, our family time together going places for sightseeing or simply staying at home watching movies and playing with our little girl.

Not much going on with us, except today I am sharing some delicious spaghetti I found on Babette's site. I miss Filipino spaghetti so much that I finally cooked up a batch. The only thing that was missing from the recipe is the cheese I used to use back in the P.I. it’s ok, it still tasted like spaghetti. Jasmine is not an avid fan of spaghetti and pancit, but at least she tried to eat some of mommy’s foods.

Tomorrow I will be busy once again. I am going to work, then after work, we are going to attend a birthday party of our friends’ one and only adorable son. Jasmine loves Stephen; she always gets excited seeing him. They get along well, playing all the time whenever we see them. Of course, no sightseeing this Sunday. Daddy has to work again. I’d like us all to go swimming, as Jasmine loves the pool. We’ll see what we’re going to do for our weekend fun and adventures when hubby’s off Monday.

So, here’s wishing everyone the best and enjoyable weekend. You all take care and thanks for passing by my place.

Ciao!
