Mommy Moments: Special day

With all the work I am half-buried in, each moment I get to spend with my son alone is precious. Lola Philippines is keeping Cj's dedication pictures, (and dear me where could those files be?) so I'm posting shots of special days that are available.

There's no occasion when this picture was taken. Two background facts: Cj is a picky eater and he usually eats only when it's his yaya feeding him. God knows how many times I tried to coax him to eat. One afternoon still on workclothes I took him to the nearest McDonald. Health values aside, I ordered some crispy yummies. Maybe, just maybe he'd open his mouth. And voila! He ate! and I'm the one feeding him. It may sound silly but I was high all day.

A friend's wedding reception went on late thru the nite. Although I was all grins and a semi-chatterbox in the ballroom, my mind was actually home where my little guy was. I came home to find him awake so I swooped him up for a capture which completed my day. Nothing beats feeling a squirming infant on your chest after hours of adult fun. If it's not a special day, then I don't know what it is.

And this apparently the mom graduated, and the son attended. I know I demanded a bit of my kiddo's time, subjecting him to a crowded event whose lingo he does not understand. But I am so glad he carried on. The ceremony was something I was pleased to attend, but my son's presence in it made the day special.

Sense and Sensibility: 200th anniversary

In 1811 Thomas Egerton of Whitehall, London published Sense and Sensibility . Quick math shows it has been two centuries since Jane Austen became a full-fledged author. Quite an anniversary, indeed. A celebration, I declare . Blogs regarding the publication anniversary of this romance novel picture Jane Austen 's engagements whilst making the final touches of her manuscript from Sloane Street. In letters to her sister Cassandra, Jane gave accounts of her shopping for muslin, the party that their brother Henry and SIL Eliza gave; mentioned several acquaintances, and referred to her book as S and S . As a fan I wonder which between sense and sensibility did JA deem more important since she portrayed both attributes equally well. I'm obliged to enthuse over my S & S reading experience. Alas, I only managed fourteen chapters before getting sidetracked by another novel, the very first that JA wrote. I will resume and complete my affair with the celebrant before 2011 end...

Hallelujah Chorus: stand or sit?

According to legend, King George II of England rose to his feet when the Hallelujah Chorus was sung. Following protocol his subjects rose up as well. Thus began the tradition of audiences around the world rising during the Hallelujah performace. There are many speculations as to why the king stood or if he even stood at all. The Bangkok Combined Choir is composed of volunteer singers of around twenty nationalities. Every year in December, the choir performs Handel's Messiah. I sang once. (pure luck: there was no audition in 2000) Rehearsals got me thinking of the tradition of standing when the Hallelujah Chorus is sang. I googled what people have to say and my today is a list of opinions about audience decorum during the chorus: 1. The Hallelujah Chorus is like an anthem for the church. Whenever you hear it you are supposed to stand up. 2. Standing for the Hallelujah Chorus just interrupts the performance. 3. People should not be taught that they need to stand up at a certain time ...
