Ishi's Birthday Dress

It was hard to decide for my Little Princess, she wants a Cinderella dress but she chose to have a POOL party, now I am confused. I told her that she can't have a Cinderella Costume coz her theme is ARIEL. Actually I have no plan of buying her a dress because I want her to wear a special swimsuit but since the theme is not in season there were only few options to choose from. I have no choice but to buy a simple swim suit and a dress. She's gonna use the dress while having the program and change to swim wear after.
While kids are getting bigger, clothes are becoming issue already. They already know how to choose, they have their own preferences and tastes. My daughter Ishi is fond of wearing dress which is good but what I don't like about it is that she is so "makulit" at "magulo" so her dress is so messy after she wears it.
I guess a simple pink dress from Osh Kosh is fair enough for her to wear on her very special day. :)

Few Months to Go...

Time really flies so fast, it's been four months now and it feels like only yesterday when husband left fo US. Good heavens He gave us strength while being away from each other. My kids are getting used to it already.
Husband left last JUNE and he gonna be 5 months there already on 19th of November. It's sad in the few days and weeks but now is different, I feel so excited to know that we will soon be there with him! We processed our VISA already and we're already approved, next step is just wait until school year ends and until husband earned more savings us. Husband needs to look for an apartment first before he book us a flight. I am so excited to finally have our own house, and excited to decorate our own room, put on rustic bedroom furniture or any kind of bed. I am also excited to cook for my family even though I am not good at cooking. There are so many things to be excited about but first I have to focus on my daughter Ishi's birthday celebration this coming 14th of November. Then christmas and New year, etc. After those, I can't wait to fly to US so soon...just have to wait few months to go!

Ishi's Invites

I finally made my daughter's invitation at ARTSCOW yesterday but I'm afraid it will take weeks to deliver....hopefully it will arrive at least two weeks before her birthday (hopeful) ;)

It takes me too long to order it because I have to reserve the venue first and I forgot that artscow delivery is almost a month. I really hope it will arrive earlier than expected.

Ishi's Birthday Venue

This is the POOL where we are planning to set Ishi's 5th Birthday...
There are two pools here, one for adults that is 4-7ft deep, and 1 for kids that is 2-4ft deep =)

Husband and I decided to invite only the closest friends and cousins of Ishi, that includes her classmates and teachers.

I am so excited to decor it with my balloons =)

Here's how the venue looks --->

This is Angel Ann's Wonderful located in Tanza, Navotas. It's a one ride trip from our village, 30-40 pesos fare in tricycle.
This is Php7,000 for 50 pax, if ever you exceed in guests, an additional 100 pesos per head. Not bad. =)

It has a slide but kids that doesn't know how to swim can't use this unless they have floaters or company that knows how to swim like my daughter used to do here....she's using floater here and with company either her dad or tito =)

This is the view...I love it!

You can also rent the videoke or if you feel like you're not gonna consume it all, you can just drop 5 peso coin for every song =)


So there....I hope my daughter would enjoy the party soon!

Ishi's Upcoming 5th Birthday

Ishi's turning 5 this coming 14th of November and I only have 1 month to organize it plus I am so preoccupied with so many different things right now.
I am not expecting she'll be celebrating her birthday here, coz what I am expecting is that we will be in US that time with their daddy. Sad coz Ishi's wish is to be with her daddy on her birthday but we still can't. Truthfully I am not excited to plan her birthday not unlike her past birthday. It's so sad. What I am just hoping is that ISHI will enjoy her birthday even without her dad.
So, there, I asked Ishi what she wants for her birthday except for flying to US coz we really can't go yet, she said she wanted to have games, and she will be giving away prizes, so that means we can't celebrate in school coz they don't allow party, only foods are allowed. I asked her if she wants to dance with Jollibee or have a Magician? She picked MAGICIAN over Jollibee.
I guess we have to celebrate it somewhere where we can have our own party host and magician. Daddy suggested MAX, that's cool to me coz there's Max near our place. I am targeting a venue that is near so Ishi's classmate would come. But if no choice, and since 14th is Sunday, I would definitely choose other venue. =)
Hays, I feel like my power is fading! Hahaha Where did my talent in organizing party go? I can't think right now. All I know is that I have to make Ishi's party memorable.

Happy BIrthday Princess Ishi

Happy Birthday ISHI!!!!
Ishi was so happy this morning. She just celebrated her 4th Birthday in school. Just a simple celebration yet ISHI and US enjoyed it very much. Ishi enjoyed it starting with giving her invitations up to giving her giveaways. Yes it's just a simple celebration coz Montessori doesn't allowe party during school days. We just ordered Jollibee foods for the kids, teachers, mommies and some nannies, made some giveaways and her special cake - CUPCAKE tower I ordered from a friend. Kids enjoyed the cupcakes, Ishi enjoyed blowing her candles. Classmates enjoyed the giveaways while Ishi enjoyed giving them away by herself. This is really fun! How I wish we could do it every year. When we celebrated Ishi's first birthday I said to myself that we will only celebrate 3rd, 7th and 18th birthday, but look at me now celebrated her 4th birthday. Parents are really more excited than their kids. I myself is really excited! I love seeing her happy. I love seeing her enjoy her childhood. She really had a great time today so am I coz I can rest for a while now. Next assignment, Ethan's 3rd birthday. But before that I still have to shop for christmas gifts. I wanted to try gift items like terry bath robe, bath wrap or waffle bath robe but still has to consider budgets. Oh well....I'll just figure out it next time. I have to rest for a while coz my mind is really tired of thinking now. Just wanna say again HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my princess ISHI!
