Chek's Graduation Day

After almost 3 weeks of practicing in school ( 2 weeks of which Chek missed due to fever). finally ....the big day !It's raining and Dad is not with us due to urgent call from office (Subic) We prepared early since we're going to commute. Start of program is 10 am but we were at CAP Development Center Lipa City at 9:30 am. It's so funny because the moment we step on the gates of CAP, three grown ups approached my chek (famous Joseph: the security guard, the School Engineer and the errand boy). It's nice to know that my boy is well loved. Because we were early, we still got the chance to take pictures.

I felt nervous for Chek. He's the first one who will go up in the stage to receive the diploma and I fear that he does not know his place because he did not attend the general rehearsal! It went well, with minor glitch only :)

Parents were not allowed to go near the stage  ...? but I sneak in to take a picture of Chek.

I love this picture! This is so Chek... so carefree. hehehe!
Below is his creative shot taken by official photographer (ART Studio). Nice..  Till now I'm wondering how they captured this shot. Total opposite of Chek's personality.

I love you Chek. Good luck. This is the start. Dad and Mom will always support, guide and love you. Congratulations!

Chek: First Love

Check at the age of five already have his girl preference which us grown ups labelled us crush or girlfriend. I remember when we transferred him to other school, he shed bucket of tears and said he will miss his friend. He does not want any other friend but her. When we went to Bicol to visit his Lola Deling, we have with us a map and he continuously ask the girl friends location! It came to a point when the girl's Lola and I decided that the 2 kids should meet and play....but this did not happen and eventually turned out better and healthier because Chek gotten new friends :)

A week after valentines day Chek showed me this drawing. Apparently it was given by a new girlfriend.

A day after, Ate Annie showed me two drawings. While waiting for their school service, Chek was not his usual makulet self. He was actually silent and he asked Ate Annie to safe keep his drawings.

Oh my,,,,love at is purest form.
I dread the time when I'm no longer his world. =(

Cheks' 1st Night Out

I don't think I can sleep well tonight for it is Cheks' 1st night out! I started preparing his stuff for the camp since last week and packed it all inside B's over night bag yesterday. He left home for BluRoze Farms at around 1 pm and tonight is the most awaited bonfire.

We missed it :( but got there just in time for hotdog roasting.

Initial plan was to to take a peek, check if my baby is doing fine, check sleeping conditions and should do that all in just 15 minutes because parents are advised not to visit (as much as possible). There was also a guard who made sure that we don't over stay.  Below is the dining area.

They stayed at Ifugao Hall, foam mattress were all over the floor and the air conditioning was really nice. For sure Check will sleep soundly tonight. I also met his teacher (Malou) on my way out.

  

Thank you teacher Malou and to all the other teachers who are really working hard  to make this camping a success! Just one look at Cheks' face and  I know he will treasure this moment forever.

As a working mom, I only have Sundays' to spend with my kids and  I want it to be extra special for them. Specially this Sunday because this is the day before Cheks' birthday. My initial plan for Chek's pre birthday party was the whole family will go to Fun Ranch-Tiendesitas, meet my college friends then go to Marikina to visit relatives.... but come Sunday morning, the whole family was too lazy to rise on the bed and prepare! I then settle on the idea to visit Lipa palengke (with the kids in tow)...=) Kids had a blast with the jeepney ride!

That was before we realized that is was the "Buling buling Day." Water was thrown on us. People were screaming, laughing and some are really mad for they are wet! Chey started crying. We hurriedly went inside the market and luckily the kids forgot the whole incident.

Next stop was SM Lipa. Chey started crying as soon as we boarded the jeepney. I called DAD  to fetch us in SM because Chey was crying so bad he was already shaking and wont let go of his Ate Jenny. When my kids are safe at home, I went out and took pictures of the "festivities".

To end this super unique Sunday, I cooked Chek's favorite sopas (chicken is not mixed with the soup but fried separately) and Dad's cupcake with icing on top (1st attempt).
