Laikka and the Snow!

2012-01-29T00:31:00.001Z

She was so happy that saturday when prior to that day, she just stayed home since she was sick with cough and colds. She already felt better the day before and I promised her that we will go out the next day so she can have fresh air! She was already so happy but the happiness got more because of the snow keep falling down! She can't wait to go out!

She tried to do a large snow ball but it was not easy. Finally, she was happy with her small snow man anyway. She really enjoyed that day, a day with the snow! Connecting this to Pink Friday!

My Swedish Girl!

2012-01-12T23:18:00.000Z

She looks really more swedish than asian even from birth. And I've heared much already and become used to it when people comments that she's so swedish. I'm a proud mom anyway.

Now as she grow older, though her hair became more darker than before, still she's my swedish girl. And perfectly enough when we recieved the swedish national costume and when she tried it on her, I was speechless! She's simply so cute and looks really pretty on it! It fits exactly on her now so by June on Swedish National Day, this dress would no longer fit her. So I'm planning to let my mother sew a little more bigger. Hopefully she can visit us here before summer!

Love you my child!

Kiddy make-up Kit!

2011-12-30T22:38:00.001Z

She likes to watch over me when I'm doing my face everytime we have parties and she really have a big interest on make up and other girly stuff like painting her nails or putting lipstick on her lips. Now ,it was her wish for christmas to have something like that. She recieved lipgloss of different colors, recieved a kit with kiddy lotion, perfume and such thing for girls. But the best of them all when she recieved this pink atache and its a kiddy make up kit! Everything was set aside and she keeps on opening it day and night..hehe.

She was so happy and feel like she's already a little woman;) Linking this to Pink Friday!

Have a Prosperous New Year Everyone! See you next year;)

Merry Christmas Everyone!

Thoughtful Girl!

2011-11-16T23:25:00.000Z

Angelikka lately since the weather became closer and closer to winter, and therefore cold and sometimes it just keeps on raining so she missed many things. She missed the summer and the people she had been mingling like her cousins and classmates and friends. She missed playing at the park and just being outside doing whatever there is!

Everyday, she'll ask me, "what we gonna do today mamma?" And it's so sad when my answer will be just home since the weather is not that good! But she'll always come up with an idea on what is fun to do while at home. She draw and write but then lately she's writing some letters. And on her letter she always said that "I'll come to visit you when the sun is there";) And then, 'I miss you'. Then she'll ask her pappa to send it. Oh, I think she's so sweet of doing that!

Then time came that I was four days away from her. Guess what when I came home? I was so touched because she handed me a box and she said it's a mailbox where her letter to me everyday are inside. And then she hugs me with the word I miss you so much! I was teary eyed because she's also sick (colds and now became cough).

***I love you so Angelikka, you are always in my mind and heart even if I'm far away maybe from you some of the time, but there's no minutes that I don't think about you!***

She takes care of her little sister!

2011-11-06T00:08:00.000Z

Laikka becomes more and more understanding now to her little sister though at times she get jealous of her. She's proud to teach Erika anything and since it's Erika's learning stage, she learns quickly and that makes Laikka so proud! She wants to be the one to bottle feed her sister and even wants to carry her. It's nice to see them and good to see that she wants to take care of her little sister. But the problem is , the little one gets easily irritated and wants to do alone too. They'll fight! I just let them at times and explaining the big sister about some situation!She's smart! and try to learn also about being a big sister!

There are times she act as a baby, well, I know it's normal and I just let her feel that she's always my baby and is equally loved and attended like her little sister. I am so proud about her! And I'm happy that she love her sister so dearly too!

Have a blessed sunday!

2011-10-25T23:57:00.000+01:00

Dentist Time!

2011-10-17T22:43:00.001+01:00

Last month we recieved a letter from the Dental Clinic for Angelikka's schedule for dental check up this year. But then the schedule they gave us fits on my birthday so we declined and asked another schedule. They gave us last week but then early on that day, the clinic cancelled our time because the dentist was sick. And so they rescheduled it today and finally its over!

She was already behave this time and no longer afraid not like the first time last year. And she was even became prouder when the doctor said she have very nice teeth and that everything looks as it should suppose to on her age. She have 20 healthy teeth and good in shape. She told the doctor that she brushed her teeth many times..hahahah! She recieved a gift! Good girl Laikka!

Inside Shoes!

2011-10-14T04:25:00.000+01:00

It's autumn now and it's getting colder and colder everyday! This is just a start of the coming long winter we will be having here in Sweden. So in preparation for winter time, I already take out winter clothes and stuff for the children for the school needs it!

Laikka found her pink shoes for inside house, like they need it in school, and now its already perfect for her. It was given last year but it was a little bigger for her and now it already fits well.

She got a real phone!

2011-10-09T14:38:00.000+01:00

Children here maybe are so spoiled of different gadgets! At the age of seven above, children here already have high tecnology toys or something to play on! But then my Angelikka is still four and running 5 thhis december and just got her iphone3. She is already good in playing phone games and always borrowed our iphones when she is bored and I want to work in my computer in focus. And also during our long travels by car, she will be busy playing games on iphones.

The grandmother noticed it! So, when she bought an iphone4 last week, she gave her iphone3 which she just bought last july this year. It's still so new and gave it to my Laikka. She was so happy and I just hope she already knows how to take care of it! Of course with my guidance! Grattis little girl and thanks to my mom-in-law for it!

Laikka and the pink flowers!

2011-09-30T23:58:00.000+01:00

In summer time, Laikka has been in many different kind of amusement center and this year she had already enjoyed places like these. I got this nice poses of her with her simple pink pair of clothes and with her hair in "jinkie".

What is that? That beautiful flower is as pretty as she is, trying to pose in drama!wink*

A pose at the pink flower and the bunny formed plant as her background! Connecting this to PInk Friday! have a great weekend everyone!

Cornflakes without Milk!

2011-09-27T22:52:00.000+01:00

Angelikka don't want the milk to be on her cornflakes that morning. She wanted it to be crispy when she eat it but she wants her milk in the other glass set aside so she can drink it from time to time! It's her style and its a fight if you'll correct her!

I noticed she had the orange bowl and an orange flower design on her cup, so I took picture for times like this:) I mean Orange Tuesday time!

2011-09-20T21:15:00.000+01:00

Angelikka 2 summer ago had this orange summer clothes matched with my orange sunglasses looks pretty on her:) That pair of attire was given by my aunt as a present from Philippines. The color enhances her beauty I think:)

Well, she's always pretty in my eyes whatever she wears, but for this week's orange tuesdays, this will be perfect as my entry! Good day!

Juice in the Shoes!

2011-09-11T23:11:00.001+01:00

One of the restaurant we have been in one of our travels has gave Laikka a special treatment. She has been a little careless during those times so I told the waiter to give her a juice and if possible in a plastic glass or something for children! Her face lit with a big smile when the waiter was approaching to us because of something she saw and knew its for her.

Yes, her juice was in the shoe-glass:) She was so happy, who don't right? That is so cute for children! And another thing is, that glass is a plastic kind, hmm it really looks like made of glass but its not! I love this picture of her too:)

On Road Signs!

2011-09-02T22:40:00.000+01:00

Angelikka nowadays already learning many things outside school and home. And one usual for children are road signs. Of course she learned it from school but what I mean is she already applying it everytime we went out and go to the city. She knows that folk should cross the street only if the signal light turns green. And so when she saw somebody crossing even if its red she will be kind of angry and say...they're stupid! And also she thinks as if she know more than me :)

Roads also here has for everyone. For people, for bikes, and for cars. So, she's also meticulous on those signs.

Good its how arrange and well guided here. Thats why its hard for us when we visit my homeland where there's no detailed signs. Angelikka has many questions and really need to be watched out. She'll do things freely and will reason out if corrected. Like, "there's no sign"!!

Net10 Unlimited, Nationwide!

2011-08-29T15:01:00.001+01:00

This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Net10 for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine.

Living across the miles from your family and friends is not easy nor cheap. We are fortunate this time because we already have these fine technologies that keep us connected to our love ones and one primary way is phone calls. But the cost of it hinders the length of time we want to talk with them.

Well, not anymore with Net10 unlimited plan. Getting unlimited talk,text and data nationwide with only $50 a month I think is a great deal. No contracts, no surprise bills and no credit checks, how great is that. Our primary problem with long distance call is the reception right? That's the best thing here cause according to one Real NET10 customer , the coverage of its connection is simply excellent. Listen to What Rob has to say about all our worries in terms of connecting our love ones through phones. By the way Net10 uses only trusted phone manufacturers like LG,Motorola,Kyocera, Nokia and Samsung.

Now how is monthly plans useful not only for business but on our everyday life? Check out 10 Good Reasons which one of the best is the unlimited minutes of talking. And I'm lovin' on the fact that it suits our budget and its nationwide, long distance available to over 75 countries. And much more. Check out their Cute NET10 commercial and be informed aside from being entertained, surely you will See the Light like I did.

New Umbrella!

2011-08-27T00:38:00.000+01:00

Angelikka happened to break her princess umbrella for quite a time now. So when we were in that american store I was talking about during our visit in Germany, she also got her own shopping. She found a cute umbrella and she just put it in our cart and said; "I want that" period.

It was a great weather during our vacation there but then during our camping for a day at Europa Park after we bought it..it rains! And then she said..wow! good that I bought a new umbrella, I knew its gonna rain:)" Oh well, its friday my friends so gonna link this to 'pink friday' cause this is simply pink umbrella!again!

Feels like a princess!

2011-08-10T23:46:00.000+01:00

Angelikka was so excited when we were visiting the real castle. She was asking if she can see a real princess there. But as we know there's no real princess on the real castle now like at disney land. So, when we were inside the castle, fortunately there are paintings around and so I told her that those were the real princesses that lives here before. And because the pictures were two girls...her eyes glittered and said wow! its like me and Erika..all girls:) hehhe.

I can see she feels like a princess when we were there. She'd like me to take pictures with her and the castle:) She even wishes to marry a prince(laugh out loud). I told her she's always a princess to me and her father's.

I was happy she enjoyed the trip even if it was a little hard to get there..we had to walk because it's in the hill.

Lost in the city!

2011-07-30T00:29:00.000+01:00

Oh well, I was so worried this afternoon when we were in the city, Laikka was lost again! "Again" because she has been lost already in the store a month ago when me and Sarah went shopping on a quite big store here in our place. She has this style of hiding from me like playing while in the store then the next thing she know, she's already lost! She was found by a store worker and Sarah saw her first, when the personal asked if she's her mother she said 'no' and did not even say she's with us, she's mama's friend, hayyzz so the store personal did not gave her to Sarah. But thats a good thing that they would not give to anybody else.

And today again, still me and Sarah went shopping or window shopping. She's out of our sight again! This time it's the guard of the mall who found her! I was more worried this time because its already a mall..huhuh! She herself was so afraid also. I hope she'll learned this time, otherwise I will put a chain on her like a dog when we will go to the city..hehhe!(joke).
Have a great weekend everyone!

black attire!

2011-07-25T13:25:00.000+01:00

Angelikka been growing pretty fast this past days so there are many clothes that are already so small for her. So, we bought new clothes for her. The father just bought a hello kitty black and laikka love it so much. And yesterday, when we attended a kids party, she was wearing that said HK paired with another black skirt. She look chic!

So, I'm linking this to chic in black where it belongs;)

Wonderful Day!

2011-07-21T23:36:00.000+01:00

playing with the birds

She had asked me this question nowadays; " Mama, now that I'm already a big sister who decide now?" So I said, mama and papa and YOU can decide too on somethings like what you want to do and to be. "Aha!Thanks mama" she said it happily! When her father came she told him that she already can decide now what she wants and his father said..of course you can.

the little girl is in too

One day, she saw in television a family going picnic and I never thought she has to ask us that she wants us to eat outside, picnic at the lakeside which is just at the back of our apartment. And said, "I'll decide now, we will eat outside" huh, she was trying to use her new power in the house and since, it was not a bad idea anyway..we did eat outside and had picnic! She was so happy knowing she has already a voice in the house.

And we had a wonderful day!

Laikka one night!

2011-07-14T23:54:00.000+01:00

I just found this pics tágged to me in facebook by my husband's cousin. I can't remember when this was at first but when I looked closely, the background is my MIL's camping place. Then I remember, that this was a time when she wanted to sleep over there with her grandmother, the first time suppose she's away from us but then in the middle of the night or about 2pm she cried and want to go home. So, grandma called us and my husband drived right away to fetch his 'unica ija'.

She had no sleeping pajamas that time for it was not planned, so she got this big shirt from her grandma;) This was last year! Have a great weekend!

She's into Modeling:)

2011-07-04T23:48:00.001+01:00

Angelikka nowadays are fun of posing like a model. Maybe because of what she saw in the television which is my favorite to watch..top model. If I asked her to pose for a picture, she would pose and asked if I want a model pose..hahha! Here are some of her cuteness!

It's hard now to choreograph her because she already has her own decision and what she think she will looks beautiful and nice!

I find her over acting sometimes but I would rather appreciate her so she will feel better and she's anyway cute what ever she'll do on her face or acting:) Oh, I can't imagine I already have a grown up child. Feels good!Mwaah my girl!

Laikka's summer fun:)

2011-07-01T10:44:00.000+01:00

Angelikka nowadays have been interested interacting with the nature. She has plenty of imagination like what she wanted to do like fishing. She loves going to the lakes feeding birds, and running after them like want to play with them. She wants to go to the forest, picking berries or flowers. I can sometimes hear her speaking to them or to herself:)

She enjoys feeding the birds and talking to them like..'hey my friends, here's food for you all':)

She has a toy fishing thing and she tried it on the lake near her grandma's summer housevan as in she's fishing for real:) Well, things like these are her activities this summer during weekends which she enjoys doing even if alone!
Have a great weekend everyone!!

Closing Program!

2011-06-05T10:05:00.002+01:00

School closing programs here are way different from what I've been experienced back in PI and even from other places like US. Angelikka just had their school closing programfor this semester. She will be transferred to the next level next term after summer vacation. And I'm so glad about it. The school handed us a folder containing their series of work at school.

It started with a contest, a walk to the forest and answering questions hanging on the tree and it ends up to their room. In their room they show us exibits done by the students and really glad seeing my girl's work there. Then, we were asked to assemble outside for a snack with coffee and hotdog bread and there we were given time to talk with co-parents, socializing.

trying to answer and win the contest..hehe

learning different shapes

shapes lesson

snack time

Then after a couple of minutes, school personals gather the children in front the parents and rendered a song and a closing song:) Then, distribute candies to children and the folders to parents then finished.

We went home satisfied anyway and wishing everyone a great summer vacation! Congratulations Angelikka! Link this to :

2011-05-28T09:18:00.000+01:00

Green water team!

2011-05-23T09:43:00.000+01:00

Monday again and hoping we will have a great week ahead! How's your weekend? For us we had a blast! We attended a party of Angelikka's cousin and we also watched a great event here in Gothenburg called 'göteborgsvarvet'. It's an annual half marathon running competition in Gothenburg, Sweden. It is the largest annual running competition in Sweden, with about 40,000 participants each year. This year we have 59thousand plus participants. Most of the participants are not running for the prize but to reach the goal and to challenge themselves that they can. Yes for health reason also and really great to be a part. I wish I could run next year:)

We were there to cheer the runners and we standby in line with the water team who's uniforms are green fortelling life..hehe. So this gonna be my entry for GREEN MONDAY with laikka there as the model..hehe! Have a great week everyone!

Mother's Day 2001 in Mommy Moments!

2011-05-20T22:52:00.000+01:00

I can't say anything yet what it's gonna be this Mother's Day 2001 since our celebration here in Sweden will be in the last sunday of this month, so it will be this 29th. I am excited though cause this time my girl, the big sister can already paint or draw and even write. She already did many stuff during birthdays of somebody we attended to.

Anyway, as I have shared at my other blog Basic Highlights, that I recieved already an advanced mother's day gift from my mother in law. A beautiful 18k gold bracelet, from a mother's heart to a mother:) And from my husband, he will surely treat me in a restaurant I bet..heh with the whole family. We will see! So, Happy Mommy Moments to all mothers out there;) see yah!

Her wish finally given!

2011-05-19T00:10:00.000+01:00

She's been asking for a Hello Kitty kiddy computer even before her birthday last december but because we thought she's still too young for it, we didn't give. Her grandma tried to look after it during her birthday but unfortunately she haven't find it on any store here. Every now and then, she's reminding us about it and we just told her to be a good girl at school and at home and help mamma taking care her little sister.

Last saturday we attended a 4 year old birthday party. One of the gift the child recieved is a HK computer, she just watch and the party continues. But then in the car, when we were going home, she said to her father that she remember now what she's wishing and dreaming all the time. What? her father asked; she said a HK puter just like the girl has:)

We think its time really to give what she's wishing for because she's been doing great this past days. One best thing is that its been 2 weeks successive now that she already sleeping on her own room:) So, today she was so glad when her papa came home from work with the said computer. Grattis my dear angel..you deserve it! mwaah!

Articulate Laikka!

2011-05-17T18:29:00.001+01:00

She talks so much these past days that sometimes I become irritated but proud. She's learning so much actually pertaining language and her speaking ability. Some funny happenings I want to share:
1.) Rraining!
One day while we were going home from her school. She told me; "mama, listen! rrraining!" ha? no its not raining, yeah but listen to me; rrraining! aha, obviously I didn't get it! Then she said with her hands actioning; have you not noticed? I already can say 'raining' instead of 'yeaning'.lol! ALAS! she already can pronouce R, thats what she's saying.

2.) Ama han!
At the dining table we were eating, the father was feeding the baby with a smash potatoes but he was standing because Laikka pull off her father's chair. So I said to her in my vernacular; " ihatag na sa imong amahan ang banko Angelikka!"(give the chair to your father) Then she reacted right away, ama han? no, you are wrong again mama.."inte ama han, ama..hon" . ('ama' in swedish means breastfeeding, han- is him, hon is her) hehe, I am wrong because Erika is a girl shoud be hon not han:). 'kafaet'.

Green cake for a green b-day girl!

2011-05-15T22:38:00.000+01:00

It's green time once again! and today's entry are the green cake and Laikka's dress during her birthday celebration here is Sweden last December.

Have a great week ahead everyone!!!

MM: Here SHE comes!

2011-05-14T23:18:00.000+01:00

Mommy Moments topic for this week is about when our dear child came to our lives. Their birth! Well, during my first child..it was heaven. I tried it normal delivery for 12 long hours but still ends up with c-section. The pain, well, double pains whatever was it, I can't remember anymore. Everything washed out when I saw my baby. She was the prettiest and the loveliest of all, an angel! hehe.

On my second baby, it was already plan ceasarian because of my history on first. But then she still came out earlier than the plan date. My water broke 10days before the time, so I was operated yeah still on C-section. I can't explain the feelings, it was like my first time. As if I forgot I have done this before and still with watery eyed, the happiness was unexplainable!

My two precious girls completes us when they came. It was a fantastic experienced and a time of our lives which I am always thankful for! When they come, its always an amazing moments of every mommies!

Still late!

2011-05-10T22:40:00.000+01:00

If during summer time we always been late because of the snow and ice, this time it's because of the flowers. This yellow flowers are so captivating for children during spring since it's all over the ground.

And Laikka is no excuse. She always run to the place where she saw flowers and yes she enjoyed picking it up. And when I told her we already are late to her school, and saw me already pissed off, she'll just say; "Don't you think they are beautiful?" then handed me all she picked up, "this is for you mamma:)
Hehe, maybe she knows how to calm me down. Her sweetness is her greatest weapon that works on me. Spring time is here really while summer is coming next two weeks:) How great is that! Have a nice day!

GM- Laikka's GREEN room!

2011-05-09T10:52:00.000+01:00

Monday meme for green today is none other than the big sister's room and the owner of this blogsite Lara Angelikka. I did it green instead of pink because as I've said, pink already been so much in my sight.lol!

Have a great week ahead everyone!! Think life as beautiful..think green!!! Godbless!

Preggy tales in 'Mommy Moments'

2011-05-06T17:56:00.000+01:00

I will be sharing about my second pregnancy this time and third since I already shared my first time before here at Mommy Moments.

Well, it was a sad experienced about my second pregnanacy because I had a miscarriage. Horrible to think about what happened but I was so lucky because I get pregnant again after 2months. It was planned to have our second and last baby when Angelikka becomes 3years old so we were so thankful that it goes everything goes with the plan.

I was so healthy and vigorous during my pregnancy. We went out a lot and travel a lot since it was summer time. Picture above was taken during our clean and green walk at the forest here in gothenburg. I can remember they always told me I was a sexy pregnant..hahhah.

We also travel Paris and visited Disney land when I was 7months pregnant. Take note, we travel land trip! I was so proud of my self having big tummy and still managed to travel by car in couple of hours! And as you can see in the picture, I don't look uncomfortable..hahha! Still trying to be with the chaotic world of catching those famous characters.

I even saved the Eiffel tower from falling! waaaahhh. Double force you know:) Oh that was a great experienced! Happy Mother's day Everyone!

Gumamela and ME:)

2011-05-05T12:37:00.000+01:00

She's amazing even when she was one year old. I mean to pose in the camera. And with gumamela flower? she's just wonderful to see on that! I took this picture when we visited Philippines the first time! She was just one year old!

Then after almost 3years, we visited Philippines again, and when she saw the gumamela plants, she ask me to take a picture. Hahah! And look, how she tried to copy the first one! She's already 4years old with her camera friend, the gumamela.

Just found it so cute and I want to share it with you all:) Have a great day, weekend soon to come! Godbless!

Happy Mommy Moments to all mommies out there!

She is Clever!

2011-04-18T13:08:00.002+01:00

Wow! been a while since my last post. Well, I'm not really feeling good. I'm into many things. Thinking so much made me sick. As I've said at 'My Mestizas' blog, we were examined, the whole family in relation with my little one's sickness so quite hard in my part as a mother.

There was just a situation that made me laugh about the big girl Liakka when we were visiting the doctor. Everytime we're on elevator she should be the one to click the button where we're going. Since she already knows numbers 1-10 at least so just say it and she'll do the rest. When we're going down she was instructed to push the E- Entrance and its a green button.

Take note: (swedish lesson for a moment:) )
Entrance in swedish is *Entre
One is *en two is två three is 'tre. 'en' also means 'a' or 'an'

She ask where we're going now papa? What number I'm going to push? Her father said " push entre" which he means the entrance button, and she right away and happily push the number 3 button..because she understand it as ' a number three'. We laugh at her and said no,no, the green button the entrance button. And she was mad at us, why we laugh, we were wrong she's right because she's asking what number hehhe..get it??
Haay for everything we've been through that day at least she gave me a good laugh and showed us how clever she is.

MM: Birthday Photos

2011-04-15T12:43:00.001+01:00

Birthday photos in 'Mommy Moments' this week. I will just share Laikka's 4rth birthday photos because she had celebrated it twice. Here in Sweden and in Philippines:)

celebration in Sweden

here cake in pinas

her big tarpuline:)-pinas

We were about to have our vacation to Philippines when Angelikka celebrated her 4rth birthday here in Sweden since her birthday falls December 3 and we had our trip December 1. So we had an advance party with her family (my husbands side) here. While my family in pinas already prepared everything, from the balloons, cake, clowns and tarpuline because we arrived 2 then in the next day became her big day. It was memorable because we can have all these fun things affordable:) Here is so expensive:)

Happy Mommy Moments to all mommies!

Love the New Look!

2011-04-12T09:44:00.000+01:00

Finally I found the nice and perferct design for my daughter's blog Lara Angelikka. So far, I so love, love it!
It's fuchia pink, has flowers which I love;), perfect size-not so wide header and over all I don't like it but love it!

Thanks to my friend JennyH for sharing and helping me where to find free layouts and easy to put html's. Good day to all though it's rainy here:I That's spring anyway! Godbless!

Exploring the Forest!

2011-04-10T02:02:00.001+01:00

the bikers

We as a family took a walk around because of the best weather so far this season:) And as usual Angelikka brought her hello kitty scooter because she thought we just go on fine roads around. But then, it was quite many people outside today, some with their moped and some with strollers like us and bikes . So we decided to get in to the forest. There are many who run and jog anyway so not so scary:)

on the go

Angelikka was thinking if she can still ride her scooter since its not cemented in the forest. But then as you can see in the picture, she was enjoying anyway! And it was safer for her there to bike than outside:) It was fun for her to explore inside the forest with her bike anyway! Good training!

MM: Summer plans!

2011-04-07T23:53:00.002+01:00

We have many plans on summer and obviously we are so excited what ever comes into reality:) Well, this weeks topic here in Mommy Moments is about our summer plans.

collecting stones at the beach:)

We had a blasts last summer as in we tour many places in europe:) and since we have a new member of the family this coming summer, we are planning to visit places which are baby friendly:) Here are some of the plans:

= Enroll Laikka on swimming lesson.

= Swimming at nearby swimming pools and beaches

= Visit grandma's house wagon at nearby camping

= Visit amusement park and gardens

= Going out with new mommies with our strollers -picnics on parks

= Road trip again to our friend in Germany then Italy:)

So exciting! And my girl always asking when it will be, she mean when will summer comes:) I hope we will have a blast too this summer!

Postcards and Stickers!

2011-04-06T13:52:00.001+01:00

Angelikka loves stickers. During her birthday celebration in Philippines, there was a game for children which many stuff like toys, candies, and more stuffs hanging and all children must get one in contest from each other who can pick the best. But before hand, the birthday celebrator must first pick one for her own, and guess what my girl picked even there are more nice things there?? yes, the stickers:) Maybe the colors, designs and styles on it captivate her attention and entertained by it. I think, children in general is like that so it is important to maker or seller that those things are attactive to children.

The same way with cards and postcards. It should be attractive to the eyes not only to children but of course to adults. And not only nice and glittery but also, it must tell something informative and will make feelings happy and loved. Like it is usually when people have vacations to other places, they needs postcards about that place, views and historical places on the place where they are in to send to their family and friends back home. Thats what we do when we are traveling to places not ours. And in the same way yes, we recieved different postcards too from our friends and its so good to feel and even make us interested on that place! And even want to go and explore to the said place.

Want something more about postcards, stickers, calendars, and the like? Visit this online marketing which I think they have the best when it comes to these stuff. They have a lot more that can help you in terms of exciting colorful and costumized postcards and more!

She needs new shoes!

2011-04-05T09:56:00.000+01:00

Angelikka's winter warm boots is already a little small on her, it still fits but no longer that comfortable. She's growing fast now, normal on her age. She's already complaining to me about it but since summer is near, and they will not use it anyway so soon. They have to change into summer foot wear. And so, I promised her to buy a new one when summer comes. And she understand about it.

Lately, since we already have warmer weather, some of the children in school wears already their summer school shoes specially when its new. So my little girl now bagging me about her new shoes and that she needs it already and she don't want her warm shoes:) Well, got no problem about it cause I found this site thats perfect for girls like mine. I am saying about her being so demanding nowadays, she already knows what she wants. So she must be the one to choose what she likes otherwise, trouble!

This site has different kinds of chilren foot wear like girls shoes, girls sandals, canvas shoes and more! The good thing is Angelikka can just point out and choose what she want just right there on the screen at home. She had fun looking and maybe got a hard time choosing because every one are pretty sandals, pretty shoes and really girly. She wants me to buy everything..hehe. Anyway, she had chose a nice one which I agree that its pretty for her too. Check it out mommies and I'm sure you will be delighted to see their products!

Check this informative video! I commented as tejan35.

Yummy Sunday!- PIZZA Laikka!

2011-04-04T05:59:00.001+01:00

It was my little girl Erika's 6months old yesterday and we did a little celebration at home so I was not able to do my 'yummy sunday' . But it's better late than never:) I decided to put this entry here since Angelikka love this Pizza, as in extra large pizza:) This was last sunday after church, we decided to have dinner..yeah you heard it right, pizza is already a hard meal for the swedish people:) . We were hungry so we dropped by at our favorite pizza house to have dinner there.

That pizza is only good for one for swedish people but for us, it can handle 12person as snacks..and if its a meal can be three person..it's really big and infairness..yummy!

Have a great week ahead!

With the cousins!

2011-03-30T12:17:00.000+01:00

Angelikka really had fun when we were in Philippines specially time together with her cousins. She don't feel strange or different at all when she was with them. They speaks whatever, english, visaya,swedish and yet they understand anyway. The funny thing was, while laikka learning visaya from them, her cousins learned fast more from Laikka, I mean swedish. I was amazed hearing them speaking some swedish word and even a short sentence.

Oh how I miss them. Laikka still remember them and their names now. I just always show her their pictures. And sometimes they say 'hi' 'hellos' at the internet. She ask me when she can meet them again:)???

Out with her summer thing!

2011-03-28T00:10:00.000+01:00

She thought and insisted that its already summer and so she must take out here bike and have a joy riding around..but then she was disappointed and I felt so sorry for her.

happy

flat tire

I even took the bike from a hard and tapsy garage and she kindly watch the baby outside, the father still at work but I can see her energy of wanting to roam around her bike cause it was wonderful weather we had last friday so I tried to get her bike though. But then when she's already excited to ramble, we found out that her bike has flat tire:( Huh, it seems her excitement fell so down..disappointed! Haayyy..but she understand so I just let her pose and have pictures just outside our apartment and we went home!

Still looking for a pump..we were busy on the weekend:) Have a great week ahead everyone!

WHITE in Mommy Moments!

2011-03-24T22:24:00.000Z

This weeks Mommy Moments is color 'white'. I don't like white clothings because of its fragility..hehe. Its easy to get dirty and therefore we must have extra care if we have white on us. Yes specially to children, they don't care:) But then, in what reason I have so many whites I realized. I don't know how it happened:) Anyway, for my entry today, here I'll share some:)

angelikka white cape

I like this white blazer or cape on her. She recieved it during her one year old birthday but it was little big for her that time:) It still fit her until now.

This is my favorite white spring jacket. It fits me well and elegant. So comfortable. This was given during my__ birthday.:) wink*

Happy Mommy Moments Every one!

the cross-eyed bear:)

2011-03-24T00:40:00.000Z

Angelikka been so sweet naughty this days. She already have many things learned for fun. She always made me laugh everyday by playing anything funny and even sometimes sarcastic story and funny faces. But making her eyes cross each other is the one I don't like and it triggers her more to do it knowing I don't like it! huh! her father has taught her how to do it and it irritates me.

And the white thing under her lips is a cream she'd put to make it like a beard or a mustache. I don't know what she eat.hahha! But she think its funny!:)

Sleeping on the Floor!

2011-03-21T14:23:00.000Z

The first day we arrive at our house in Philippines, Angelikka was so tired that she right away lied on the floor until she fall asleep. It was so hot that time when we were there thats why we became tired so easy plus the long travel, no wonder Angelikka became so exhausted. Good thing my parents changed already our flooring into something cooler, it was the classic Hardwood Floor before. It was perfect timing for my little girl. I remember she slept so long even of some disturbance from cousins:)

I just find this picture so cute of her lying there and I know she don't understand yet what happen and who are these people around her:) As I was checking our pictures from Philippines this makes me smile and missing again PI. Oh please! Anyway, Another week I know it won't be long and it will be summer time again so, start planning for summer activities now and feel the warm once again. Exciting!

Weekend Activities!

2011-03-21T11:37:00.000Z

Hello everyone! How was your weekend? Hope everyone got a good one. In our part, the whole family did a general cleaning in our simple home. We thought the summer or spring already coming so soon, so we better fix a little beautifying our crib.

My husband doing the hard, heavy and difficult part like wiping the glass windows while me was doing the extras that i think only women can have the patience doing, I mean the details. And the girl in the house and thats Angelikka at first just watching us, observing, I know she wanted to help but how. Yes, she did!!! While we're on break, I sneakout to my computer as well as my husband, you know doing shout out on facebook and checking of course some newsfeeds, doing ppc management on my blogs. Well, it took us maybe half an hour break and we didn't realized what our little girl was doing during those time. Guess what? she took over her father's work:) Yes she took the mop and continue mopping the floor and as we noticed she was enjoying it.

She looks like she had fun anyway. I hope it will make her understand that we do need sometimes to do cleaning and its a fun instead of a hard work:) Have a wonderful week everyone! Be happy always! Godbless!

Her PR3 is back!

2011-03-17T10:12:00.001Z

Everytime I heared from bloggers that there's something going on on google's PR, I always become nervous and excited and hoping. Nervous that my PR4 'Insights' will drop and excited that Laikka's and my other PR0 will get a PR somehow.

And then yesterday, as I checked again, was so happy when I found out Angelikka's PR3 is finally back. After a month of working it out, visiting and linking back, so happy to get it back! Thanks Mr.G. and thank you guys for the visits and comments.

HAPPY BLOGGING EVERYONE!

More Blessings for Laikka!

2011-03-14T15:31:00.000Z

Another season is coming! Laikka is growing up. I noticed lately while I'm dressing up my school girl everyday that her clothes are getting shorter:) So I said, hmm its time to change her closet. And again its gonna be expensive.

I tried to segregate the clothes by its kind..hahah!

Wow! God is good all the time because He's been using people to bless us with everything we need. Number one giver to us as I always been mentioning here is my husband's sister Mia. Last weekend Angelikka recieves a bundle or a bags of clothing which really fits for this time of season. So today I just finished changing her closet!

Wow! GREEN is actually the color I like next to ORANGE but why, oh why, its hard for me to find green things or whatsoever green..huhuhu. But anyhow, I still found some but not that easy..heheh!

Since, green is the color of the week here in Mommy Moments, I would like to share that its my mothers very favorite color. It means LIFE for her since almost all living plants is green. Green also is very helpful for the eyes to rest when its so drained.

picking up snowballs

Yesterday when i drop Angelikka to school, the weather was not that good as few days ago. Well, already couple of weeks we experienced better weather. The sun shines and the ice already melted and I thought the spring already is in the air and summer coming soon. So when it was a little gloomy yesterday morning, I just thought also that the sun will shine later. But then when I picked up Angelikka in the afternoon...the road already so white and its snowing! We, Erika's stroller and my jacket were sooo wet. And when Laikka already with us walking and snowdrops falling on us..She was enjoying it..hehe running ang picking up snow in the streets form into a ball and throw it. Haha!

And today, when we woke up and peep out the window checking the weather, usschhh as in still snowing:) "we will not go to school, hehhe"! Its so hard for me and the tendency for us, specially the children to be sick is so big. Better to be home while we can and do some fun instead.

Smart Girl for a smart girl!

2011-03-07T12:44:00.000Z

Since I just got a new baby, It's hard now to go out and visit malls for my shopping spree:) Well, yes I love shopping for me and for my girl Laikka. Shopping is my way of releasing some stress. Specially when 'REA' is present. It's a swedish word for SALE. Here in sweden, when its sale its really sale. And when I see on reklam that there's sale, my shopping hormones really moves..hehe. No wonder that my girl has a semblance of me. She love dresses and thinks nice dresses and some fashion jewelries can made her beatiful. And yes she wants to go with me shopping.

But now I got another girl and still few months old. Its hard to go out and window shop to the mall when you have a 4 year old girl and a little baby with you. I'm so happy to find this online shopping store at http://www.smartgirl.se/. Wow, perfect for my vanities because they have lots of girl's wear that are affordable and uniquely nice shop for us women and a large of varieties we really can enjoy shopping. Perfect for my situation because I can just sit in my computer and shop online. They have a very good services with a fast and safe deliveries.

So what are you waiting mommies like me? If you have no time to go into a chaos world of malls and you want a calm and time saver shopping? Smart girl online shopping is for you!

She's with me in the church today!

2011-03-06T22:46:00.001Z

before the service start

Angelikka now that she's older already find it interesting to go to church because she already can attend sunday school together with other children. But today she's just with me inside the church. She told me, she just want to sit beside me and will not go to SS. When I ask her why she just said she's tired..hahhah! But infairness, she didn't sleep. We had a special speaker today from Potters House, Texas. He's so lively that even a child can hang out listening to him. I'll talk about him more at my Insights Blog.

outside the church -infront

I'm so happy that my girl already adjusts how to behave when we are inside the church. I can't force her and I did not do it. I always asks her if she want to go with me or not but if she do, I'm so thankful and glad!All I can do is uphold my children in my prayers. I always beleive that there is no hopeless case for a praying mother!

I hope everyone had a blessed sunday today and I wish you all a great week ahead! Godbless!

Angelikka also loves water. Bath thub, swimming pool, beaches, lakes, seas, oceans..hahah as long as she can swim. She loves it even before when she was still a baby. She's getting more and more interested on swimming specially when she already can do anything as long as she have the support on her.

So,her Dad love it and so happy and proud about it. Her Dad loves diving too and loves to snork the bottom seas. So, he want to enroll Laikka in swimming lesson instead into dancing class. So, Laikka traded him that she will go to swimming lesson as long as she will also be in a dance class.

2011-03-01T11:41:00.004Z

Angelikka has a 10year old cousin who really can dance so lovely and already attending different contests and even won first prize. Everytime we have a family get together her cousin will present a dance and she's willing to teach the younger cousins and show them how to dance gracefully and lovely. Laikka is one of them and she's really interested and I can see she love to dance also. And Issabel her cousin became her idol.From the time she was 3years old she already told us she wants to go to dance school but we told her she's still too small for it..wait until you'll be 5years old. But these days, she again bagging us to go to dance school even she's only 4. She said so she'll be already good when she's 5 like ate Issa..hahha!

Dear Daddy on Mommy Moments!

2011-02-27T07:39:00.005Z

This week's topic on Mommy Moments is "Dear Daddy". Something tributed to the man in the house:) As mommies, the dad took a very important part of the life of our children. Me, myself can't make it through with out him.I always noticed, my Laikka always do drawings and paintings and even write something at home and give it to her dad everytime he comes home from work. She'll explain whatsoever on it and make a lovely story. Her first word was 'pappa' and her first sentence was "where is pappa?" She's a 'papa's girl' and the day will not end without her playing with her dad.

Yes, as mommy it feels so good when my children shows respect and love to their dad and somehow feel and shows their gratitude towards him. When they play and have time, precious time together? its my sweetest moment watching them.

Dear Pappa,

Mamma; Thank you hun for being the best dad to our children. They are so lucky having you as their father . I am so proud and so lucky as well that you are the father of my children.

Angelikka; I love you pappa, this much (with an action of her hands wide open), and all the time! (hugs and kisses)

Erika; pappapa, pappa, pappa... hmm means a lot!

Happy MM mommies!!!

Nice sleeping position?

2011-02-24T00:35:00.004Z

While I was bloghopping, visiting friend's sites my husband came up to me and show me this picture from his iphone. So I decided to post it now before I go to bed.

Angelikka sleeps on our sofa nowadays, its already late here but I can just sit on my computer when the girls sleeps. But tonight my big girl found sleeping upside down.hehe! What happened? Is she dreaming, or what! Poor little one..maybe so tired and need a big space? What a sleeping position! Good night!

Becomes a help anyway!

2011-02-22T21:16:00.001Z

After Angelikka got a little sister and my attention sometimes already been into the new one, she become a pain on my head and make my voice loud of shouting at her because she already do many naughty things to catch my attention. She messes a lot at home and she cannot stay and behave even just a minute!

But then when we got our iphone, it helps me a lot now! I can already work freely without any disturbance. Why? because the interrupter can already sit down and play using my phone or her dads since there are so many games on it that interest children, even the whole time until the battery will be empty..hehe. And I can even blackmail her that if she don't behave and listen to me, she can no longer borrow my phone.

Hmm... atleast right???

MY TWO JEWELS!

2011-02-20T19:05:00.002Z

I got couple of expensive things these past few days and I am so happy about them. I am so thankful that I am one of the luckiest to have a chance to enjoy these kind of things. Many wish for it, many wanted it and yet many can't have it. BUT all these things are just vanity. The gladness that we can feel are temporary. And that's what I felt. There's none of these things beats the joy and the pride I felt for having my two real jewels..nothing!

I consider my family and my two precious girls as my treasures. They are the only love of my life here on earth. Those things? are just lust that fills in the decietful heart of mine. Yet, they are not the one who can give me complete happiness but my two jewels...my two little girl who promised that we love each other till the end... My Laras.

MM: Valentines!

2011-02-18T18:08:00.001Z

Thank God its friday and its Mommy Moments time! The topic is Valentines Day but I already posted what we did on valentines.

So today as my entry is the heart shape thing recieved by Angelikka as present for heart day- swedish called it that way, a day of all hearts:) She's been longing for this and I thought it would be good to give him now that its heart day.

And I would also love to share the new girl in the house that made me mommy also who recieves a clothes full of hearts:) Every day valentines on Mommy Monents! Good day every one!

While at Home!

2011-02-17T14:18:00.000Z

Since my big girl stays at home for this whole week. I just play as her teacher this time. I help how to write her name since I can since that her locomotor is already ready. She writes letters in whatsoever. So I think , her name would be easy now for her to remember and I was right. She easily get it!

Also, I draw her something that she can color on since children easily get tired of doing one thing. And she's doing good, she did not just color it but also copy my drawing..hehe. She always said she can what I can:) I do draw the simplest which I know children can copy. Yeah the way I use to do:)

Well, I think she have fun anyway with me and the little girl. At the end of the day she'll say, Mamma, I love you and I will always will all my life. hehe, thats the sweetest I want to hear from my children. Good day!

Weather blues!

2011-02-16T08:48:00.003Z

Angelikka has been home 3days now because of cough and colds. It's not allowed in school if children have it, since children are so sensitive. She don't feel good also and the weather outside became so cold this week, no more snow but ice:) And the wind is so freezing! She's better now but better to stay one more day to be more sure. I hope she'll be okey tomorrow because she's been longing for school already, maybe because she has no playmates here.

Hmm..good day everyone!

The LOVE of my life:)

2011-02-14T23:34:00.003Z

Sorry just log in here blogging but I should suppose to have a post for this special day before february 14 ends..hehe! Better late than never. We've been out all day and went home late thats why. We had really a valentine day having a time expressing our love as a family:) We went out and had dinner. Here's a picture of my lovely family taken today!

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY EVERYONE in GOD'S LOVE!

Save by the Curls!

2011-02-12T09:32:00.001Z

One of the reason why we went home to our homeland was the wedding of my brother and as I've said, Laikka was one of the flower girl! While looking forward to that day,I was already imagining how beautiful she will be on that isle with her long curly hair.

But then one day 2months before our trip to PI she went out from her room and she looked strange! Something with her aura seemed wrong. She didn't tell anything what she did inside her room. Until I noticed her hair bangs no more and at the left side hair so short! Oh no! 'SHE CUT HER HAIR' in curiousity. I really cried cause I know 2 months is not enough for it to grow on that short. Then she cried also when she came to realize what she did was so stupid.

Well, almost all children experienced like this. No need to cry over spilled milk. It will still grow anyway. She was still look pretty anyway during the wedding. People didn't notriced it because her hair is curly, it was save by the curls:)

MM: "A letter to my two lovely girls"

2011-02-11T10:04:00.003Z

There's no sweetest moment on every mommy than the day they were born. Even if they're growing everyday to the next level in their lives but we always feel they're our forever 'baby'.

Laikka at one day old. Lerra at one day old:)

My dearest Laikka and Lerra,

I'm so thankful God trusted your lives to me and your father. The day you were born were the sweetest thing that happened to my life. Heaven sent His two adorable angels for us to be completely happy and become meaningful. You are my life, without you I am nothing. Its our goal that you two will feel and know in your heart how much we love you and how much you mean to us! I understand the true meaning of LOVE when you came into our lives. You are two little babies, two little one, too weak and dependent but then you are the reason why we became strong as a family. You made us stronger everyday.

I love you, Your father loves you...and thats for always and for sure!!! mamma.

A SWEET MOMMY MOMENTS TO ALL MOMMY OUT THERE!!!

Celebrated her b-day in PI!

2011-02-09T19:25:00.014Z

A dream come true for me to celebrate Laikka's birthday in Philippines where many children can attend and enjoy. Its more funny with lots of things we can do. Like big balloons, clowns, games for children and foods:), pretty cakes,tarpulines etc. It's just affordable there to have all these things.

The cake and the tarpuline:)

Last december 3 was her 4rth birthday and we just arrived in PI a day before. So the preparations were so short but with the help of my siblings, it was succesful and so much fun! many children were happy and blessed with foods and give aways! Angelikka also though confused but she was happy in the end!:)

Visiting her so called FRIENDS!

2011-02-07T21:49:00.001Z

I can say my daughter is so lucky. Almost everything she wants and needs she can get. She has the character like mine which is so open to say what she want no matter if its possible or not. But the difference is it took me so long before I got what I want while almost all she wanted she right away get it.

She's a fan of watching cartoons, the club house, she knows mickey mouse, minnie, tiger, and other friends and one day she told me, you know mama, I want to go to the place where mickey mouse and friends lives. And that will be soon. I just smile and agreed with her as to support her being so positive and trustful.

And then just maybe a couple of months after, we decided to go to disney land Paris. There she had the opportunity to see those cartoon character personally. She was so happy and had fun roaming around that huge area with lots lots lots of entertainment. We even had fun catching them up everytime they'll go public to shake hands to every one. I was so pregnat and Laikka was not big enough and the crowds was so huge. But then we were able to touch them too and say hello. I can see that Laikka was so proud and excited inspite of the chaos:)

Oh! what a fantastic day that was!

My Song for my girls!!!

2011-02-05T10:53:00.004Z

This week's topic on Mommy Moments is about our love song to our children. 'Jesus loves me this I know' is my favorite song to sing for them before going to bed and infact Laikka already know how to sing it and now that she has little sister she also love to sing this song to Erika.

Another song that for me describes my feelings and love to them is the A-youre adorable song! To tell them what they mean to me. Happy Mommy Moments everyone!

Little sister is 4 mos. old today!

2011-02-03T11:28:00.002Z

It's been four months already Angelikka became big sister and yes many changes in her life and many strange things happened:) Today Erika is already four months old and she's been so healthy so far. She grows beautifully and so adorable:) Oh how I love her and feel every moment of her babiness. hehe!

Angelikka in the other hand become more adjusted now. she just want to do and to act as a big sister but she still too young for some. That made her angry why she still can't what she already wanted to do like changing diaphers and holding the baby up.

She's funny, they're funny together and I love them so dearly! mwaah! Grattis Erika, so proud of you!

The fantastic trip that was!!!

2011-02-02T18:57:00.006Z

Remembering our fantastic road trip last summer, I'm really proud of my darling daughter who adjusts so well on the situation.

Everynight we slept in different places and different kinds of resting rooms to spend the night. There were nights we slept on tent, and most of the time in a hotel but different hotel every night from place to place. We also happened to stay in a house of a friend and also in a summer house and even we experienced sleeping in car!

Our hotel in Paris..She loves it because she has his own place at the top deck!

At our friend's house in Germany..so kind that they lend their room to us:)

One of the hotel we sleep over on our way to Paris... the nicest hotel for the price.

Laikka really understood the situation so well and even loved the fact that we had different places to stay every night:) She found it interesting and no problem of sleeping at all.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY PAPPA!!

2011-01-31T07:35:00.001Z
