Pouting face

There was a pouting hex on Cj's face during his McDonald birthday six weeks ago. I don't know what triggered it but as his guests started arriving he was no longer in the mood. Perfect timing. Nowhere in this entire blog can a post about his 5th birthday celebration be seen (nainis kasi ako). I speculate it was his cake. He didn't say so but he probably didn't like this girly cake. Well, excuse Mommy for not finding a Lion King or monster truck cake on time. This is not the Philippines, dude where elaborate Goldilocks abound.


Anyway, where were we? Ah...pouting. A signal that something is wrong. (I talk with Cj like always). Unfortunately this one escalated to a tantrum which went on for more than an hour into the party. I didn't have the patience of Job for such behavior. I got short-fused here and gave him a secret telling off. The guilt made me promise him Hongkong Disneyland for his next birthday. That if he behaved. Nevertheless I have just gotten myself into something I need to fulfil, oops. And I thought I was organized. Life. A mom learns everyday.

Cj doesn't really look like he's in the mood to celebrate his birthday. Anyways, his next birthday will definitely be a blast, so mommy, you better prepare for that.

Funny! thats the probs throwing party to the kids, kailangan ang bisita should be on time, at ang oras ay ayon sa time na maganda ang mood kasi pag humupas ang energy ahhh kainis na. Si mommy pala may kasalanan nag promise ng disney land hehehehe well, kiddo you have to work first para may pang disney land. lol.

Regency delight and love language

Friday's Fave Five: Regency Period Cake Please scroll down for Mommy Moments Ambience of Banana Leaf Restaurant dinners continue to be the trend for us this week. Rustic charm has always been a big hit to me and Banana Leaf's got it. Buckets of real wheat, garlic and pumpkin hang adorning the wall. Plus the sweet and sour fish and chicken with cashew nuts and mushroom are a real pleasure. J Lo Live This was a gift to me two years ago. Cj is too young to be choosy with scents. He smiles playfully when I spray it on him and I laugh inwardly thinking he is a boy wearing a girl's perfume. This week we both smell the same :) Cyberbanking I finally dragged documents and myself down K Bank to register for online financial transactions. Spending only what I earn suits me best as I avoid debts and the convenience of sorting expenses any time of day in familiar surrounding is always welcome.

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 ...
