My Kids

Hawt Summer Days (& Nights)

Summer came late for Ate. School finished May 20 for her so that left us with practically nothing in terms of a dream vacation. Tapos our passports expire in 6 months time so they are basically unusable. ๐Ÿ˜ My greatest dilemma was I only had a 2-week window between her end of school & my Lovey’s start of school 1st week of June. That, and a bunch of complications from my end in betweenย made life so very complicated for the GOppets! @_@

Hai School.. panira ka nang buhay! ๐Ÿ˜› **This is meant to be a JOKE. Please don’t take meย seriously.

I’m glad Ate has 2 months of sweet escape before delving into her senior year in College. My Lovey on the other hand, has been having the time of her life with her friends. A while back,ย she went to a Katy Perry concert at the new Philippine Arena in Bulacan..

The Philippine Arena is a multipurpose indoor arena at Ciudad de Victoria, a 140-hectare tourism enterprise zone in Bocaue and Santa Maria, Bulacan, Philippines. With a maximum capacity of 55,000 people,[1] it is the world’s largest indoor arena and the largest mixed-use indoor theatre. It is the centerpiece of the many centennial projects of the Iglesia Ni Cristo (INC) for their centennial celebration on July 27, 2014. The legal owner of the arena is the INC’s educational institution, New Era University.

Tickets ran out fast so I’m really thankful to my Baby Bear JENG for coming up with 3 extra tickets. What a mother would do to get hold of these precious concert seats! @_@ Thank you Jeng! :-*

The girls had an absolutely great time. To make sure of their safety though, I had them accompanied by a bodyguard (buti pa sya nakapag-Katy Perry diba). Ang layo ng Bulacan ha! At least I can somehow compensate their lack of summer ganaps, frills & thrills with concerts. Too bad the Sam Smith concert got cancelled. Boo! ๐Ÿ™

 

and a couple of weeks ago,ย she went to the Close Up Forever Summer with her Ate & her Ate‘s own set of friends. They rode together, the lil ones & the big ones, so mommy is panatag. I love that My Lovey & her Ate are close & that her Ate doesn’t mind that they are going together. And vice versa.

In between are birthday surprises, cool dips in the pool.. or the lake.. or the beach. I can’t be happier for my baby girl who had a relatively good summer in spite of no long trips in the horizon. </3

Thank goodness for water everywhere to quench this unbearable island heat! ๐Ÿ˜ And to keep the little girls occupied all break long.

I really really wanted a summer of fun for the GOppets but I have been recalled to the family business so what I had intended isn’t actually what is happening. Like they say though, when life gives you lemons. ๐Ÿ˜›

Yep, we are under siege. Nope, not the summer I was imagining. Boo.

I’m trying my best to have a positive outlook & hope that things will still work out for the best. But the days go by so fast I can hardly keep up. Do you feel the same way?

So. Now that it’s Lovey’s turn slaving in school, it’s back to you & me this 2nd batch ofย summer Ate. I hope you don’t get sick & tired of my fez. ๐Ÿ˜›

    Nakakatuwa naman po ang bonding ng mag-Ate… ๐Ÿ™‚ My sister and I are the same. Her friends are my friends too. Minsan nga isinasama pa nila ako sa gimmicks kaso now that I have a son nagpa-pass na ako. Hehehe…

    Anyway, I hope po makabawi kayo sa summer bonding nyo ni Jana… Don’t stress yourself too much po with work. But, as the Japanese says, “Gambatte, ne!” Or the Koreans will say, “Fighting!” Goodluck po sa business! ๐Ÿ™‚ God is good so everything will work out fine.

      Di bale Mich bawi nalang when you have daughters of your own. Iba talaga ang sister bond, I think ha. Kasi ako din brother lang haha. Hindi pinalad na magka-sister.
