Dolphin Encounter @ Ocean Adventure February 10, 2009

Up Close and Personal with a Dolphin

 

ON THE OCCASION of their 8th wedding anniversary in December 2008, my mom and dad treated us to an out-of-town adventure in Subic, Zambales.

 

Destination:  Ocean Adventure

Move over, Hannah Montana! December 16, 2008

These photos of mine are almost one year old already.  It was the New Year’s day of 2008 and my mom and dad bought a drum set for me and my cool brother Johan.  We had so much fun with the drums and for a while I felt like I was a real rock star. 

  

The drum set is long gone though.  When I grow up my mom will enroll me in a music school where I will learn to play real drums for a rock band.  For now I am learning the basics of playing musical instruments through a Piano lesson I am attending in school.

Singing Along with Diego and the Iguanas December 15, 2008

HI!  About three weeks ago my mommy and daddy brought me and my cool brother Johan to Glorietta to watch Diego and the singing Iguanas.

Here are some of my photos (with my Ate Baby, of course) together with Diego and the cast of the show.

My brother has his own photos and you may see them in his blog.

 

My Bean Bag Adventure and our Royal Family Portrait December 4, 2006

Once upon a time, not so long ago (i.e. last week), Daddy and Mommy brought me and my brother Johan to a cool place called a photo studio. There were toys all over. There were costumes, too.

And there was this really large blue bean bag. Johan and I took turns playing on it while a nice lady was taking some photos of us.

I had lots of fun with the bean bag.

And quite a number of really great photos, too.

The nice lady put a tiara on my head.

I looked and felt like a real princess.

My Daddy said I am, in fact, a real princess. I am his Princess Marielle. Then my brother Johan must be a prince, too.

If I am a real Princess, and Johan is a real Prince, then my Daddy must be a real King and my Mommy a real Queen. It makes perfect sense, don’t you agree?

And here is our Royal Family portrait. We look great and so happy together. We really are!

The Making of A Star November 24, 2006

When I was just about 2 years old my Mom and Dad brought me with them at Shopwise – Libis for our monthly household supplies.

While my Mom and Dad were busy filling our grocery cart I was roaming around with my Yaya, Ate Baby (pronounced Bi-be). It was then that I noticed a mini-stage setup somewhere in the food section. A grown up man was calling kids to gather ’round him in front of the stage.

And then some grown up boys and girls wearing colorful costumes went on stage and started dancing to the beat of a fun-filled music.

The people on the stage seemed to be having lots of fun so I decided to join them. It seemed like my Dad was calling me from behind, telling me not to go to the stage. But why shouldn’t I? I knew I could dance as well as those grown up boys and girls, probably even better.

The many people in the audience seemed to be enjoying my song-and-dance performance for they were all smiles and they were clapping their hands all the time. And mind you, the loudest claps came from my Dad. He must be very proud.

Eventually my Mom* joined me on stage together with other kids and their respective moms and we played a game. I don’t remember anymore which game it was but I sure had lots of fun.

* My Mom is the one at the center of the photo right behind me, wearing maroon blouse and red shorts. She was carrying my soon-to-be born brother, Johan, in her tummy at the time.
