T.G.I.F

Thank God it's friday.

Yesterday's weather was great. We took our usual walking routine, suddenly rode a bus. It was Anzu's first time to ride a bus and she never gave me a hard time. She's behave and looking around the other passenger, even smiling at them. The bus driver was so nice, he carried Anzu's stroller inside and even put a belt in it for security.

SO there, we stopped at a station and had my late lunch... SO yummy and cheap. I spent ￥１０００　($10) for a cake, pasta, and drink.

After a yummy meal, time for a leisure walk. We window shopped and saw a big sale for halloween costumes. SO glad there was still available size.

That's how we spent our friday afternoon.

Happy Halloween

I really want to thank you for visiting my precious baby blog. Most of you have inspired me in different aspects. Your warm messages and comments always bring a positive outlook throughout the day and it inspires me to write more lol. I really wasn't into writing and sharing my life publicly, I guess my baby changed me so much, not only my lifestyle but also my hobbies and one of those is blogging.. I never thought that I could also learn so much from others by reading their blogs.

My baby in tantrum

Tantrums tantrums.. Our lil girl is just like the other kids. She's so full of personality which also means she's got CRazy moods. SHe has great moods most of the time, but there are times she suddenly become a downright diva moody lil girl. But me? I'm her mom that's why I love them all... well perhaps most of the time if not all the time lol

Occassionally, she acts like this when she's cranky, tired, sleepy, hungry, bored or whatever.. there are actually times that I don't really understand. But I guess that's just normal for growing babies.

But I'm just thankful (or lucky) because for most part, Our lil girl is just fun to be around. Maybe its because we trained her to be like that.. --not actually "train"-- hmm can't think of the right term at the moment, basta sinanay lang siguro namin sya tumatawa.

When she cries hard, we hug her and let her calm first before we try to talk and entertain her. Eversince her teeth erupted, there were nights na she wakes up crying. Is it really because of the teething or just a bad dream?

It really doesn't matter. Tantrums is perfectly normal for any kids. Instead of stressing myself, I should be glad for it lol. Just think about it like this. Too much of good things do not give you a clear outlook of how the way life really works. WHen my baby is in bad mood, it makes me appreciate those tender and fun moments much more. It also reminds me that Balance makes everything better.

Share yours too...

Undokai

Last Saturday, our lil girl was invited to watch Undokai (or sports day as we may call it in english) at my mom's MIL's school which is just a block away from our home.

In Japan it seems as if there's a big event for every occasion, and the idea of encouraging a sports-minded culture is not outside the realm of reasons to celebrate. If you're following KIZUNA (my good ol friend ate clang) and Seiko's Diary, you may already have known what Undokai is all about. It's a sports festival which is one of the highlights of the year for many young Japanese students. An all day affair which is attended not only the family members but also oftentimes the extended family and close friends.

Parents also get to participate in the games. My gosh, I feel pressured just thinking about it. I should ready myself in the coming years when my baby will finally be attending her kindergarten. Usually Moms rise early in the morning to prepare obento (lunchboxes) which really add more appeal to that event. Some kids may even show off their Obento with their classmates. Have you seen Ate Clang's Obentos?

ANyway showing off my lil dolly Anzu again. As usual, my camera was with me because it was her first time to watch an UNDOKAI. Of course, I wouldn't want to missed to capture her one of HER First FIRSTS...

We were told to watch from the 2nd floor instead beacause it was crowded on the ground.
Feeling VIP lol..

Anzu kept on cheering the kids by waving and clapping with enthusiasm in her face.. Can't help but to catch some attention because we were the only one watching upstairs that's why I decided to go on the ground and be with the crowd lol It's more fun..
