Father's Day -Lolos Version :)

My Mom always tells everyone that I am such a Lolo's girl. I think it's not surprising as my Lolos have have similar amazing qualities. Take note, they're very much alike. Topping the list, 

1. they're both very goodlooking, 

2. both are silent (to compliment my noisiness) , 

3. sweet (like me) , 

4. intelligent (ahemm), 

5. prudent

6. good cooks (which I will be when I grow up), 

7. kind-hearted,

8.  disciplined,

9.green thumbed,

10. animal lovers

11. very hardworking (like my parents--wink at Mom & Dad) ....

most importantly...

12.  THEY ARE BOTH GREAT DADS!

I could go on forever mentioning their good qualities but  you got the message.  °wink. I often hear my parents talking about the sacrifices they had to make to give them good lives. I believe so, as I see this in my parents. In fact, Dad always says he wants to be like Lolo. Tough act to follow, Dad! :)  If you want to compliment my Daddy, just tell him he is like my Lolo Mario. It never fails to give him a big smile.

Mom always mentions that she is lucky to have found a husband just like Papa Wie. There's a saying that women marry men who are like their fathers. Now I know why Mom married Dad. :) When we came home last Christmas, my Dad realized that he is somewhat like my Papa Wie. I wonder what that is. :)

It's a great feeling to know that I have great men in my life. My best time so far with my Lolo Mario & Papa Wie was last Christmas. I hope I could get more bonding moments with them that is why I am looking forward to seeing them this year.

To my Papa Wie & Lolo Mario, HAPPY, HAPPY FATHER's DAY! The same goes to all my other Lolos, Titos (esp to Uncle JB) and Ninong-Daddies. This is your day! I love you all!

Ps: Special greetings to my Lolo Daddy Proz. Happy Father's Day! Love u!

Last PS: We're still on cupcake mode...so to celebrate Father's Day -the LOLOs special version, Mom and Dad prepared these yummies....

My Bon Voyage Cupcake Party

  I will be visiting Mama Gie & Papa Wie in KSA soon, so I am a week early to go on vacance (vacation). Unlike my classmates who will stay until next week, today is my last day in school. so  Mom prepared some treats for my classmates and teachers. It's our simple way of saying thanks for their kindness, especially my Madame Nadia and her assistant Madame Jasmine. I will surely miss our class-Les bisounours, most especially my BFFs Ind and Amai. 

Here are some photos of the yummy cupcakes Mom made last night.

I gotta' admit I'm a class favorite. I wonder why? :) Could be because I'm cute? What do you think? :)

My bestfriend Ind

I will miss her--big time!

It's like my birthday no? There's my other friend- Amai( the one wearing a cute black turban)

Look how excited they are to eat my sweet treats!

I felt like I'm a birthday celebrator. Thanks Mom & Dad  ( & tita F) for letting me experience a simple celebration in school.

Mom's turn to have a souvenir shot with the nicest teacher in Saint Ursule--My Madame Nadia.

‪Goodbye 1st Meternelle! 

I will surely miss everything about Saint Ursule. You gave mme my first taste of formal education. It's been a happy schoolyear. Looking forward to 2de Kleuterklas this September!

Independence Day 2011

June 12.

It was a fun-filled afternoon with my Dad and some Pinoy friends. It was work for Mom but for me and Dad- it was a great venue to pig out on Pinoy goodies! We got to eat Lechon for free...how cool is that? I came home with a box of puto pao and cupcakes courtesy of tita Raqy, mom's friend. I love Independence Day! I love freebies! heehee

My Dad's Day

Here in Belgium, they celebrate Father's Day during the second Sunday of June. Since we have a big activity last Sunday-June 12 (story on that on a separate post), we had to celebrate Dad's Day one day in advance. What is a greater way to honor the number one guy in my life than to spend an entire day with him? So the whole Saturday was all about Dad. 

The number 1 man in my life--my Dad!

 

I know I tell you this everyday but know that I will never get tired saying this: "You're the best Dad in the whole world."

Dad couldn't resist Thai Cuisine. It's one of his faves. 

If you want to see a big smile on his face, take him to a Chinese or Thai Restaurant.

the CDs he bought using the MM gift card we gave him last Friday night

 

2 new CDs to add to your collection Dad. :)

That's not all...Shhhh.

Mom got  a little upset (Read: 1 minute-anger-kind-of thing) last Friday because I gave away our surprise. I couldn't help it! The excitement was killing me. I knew the words will just come out automatically the moment I see Dad enter the room. Believe me Mom, I tried controlling the urge to reveal our surprise...oh well, at least I tried. So you see, Dad got his gift the night before . Mom told me several times to bite my tongue but being the babblemouth that I am (sometimes lang naman,hehe) the surprise kinda' slipped out. Peace out Mom! Good thing Mom is  gift savvy, so coming up with another 'something' for the next day was just a breeze for her.

Dad had  a scheduled dinner party with his colleagues last Friday so I knew he'd arrive  past my bed time.  I just had to wait for him to come home so I just  lied on the bed pretending to be asleep.The moment I heard his voice, I ran to greet him. Dad always say that they're lucky to have a sweet daughter. To him daw, it's Father's Day everyday coz I spoil him with daily dose of i-love-u hugs and kisses. Maybe it's true that I'm sweet but it's because Dad deserves all the sweetness a lucky three year old daughter can give him. You see, Dad isn't a typical Dad. He is warm and  affectionate. He's very generous in giving praises and in saying 'i love you'.  I am not sure if I am allowed to say this but I am not the only hugger in the house. My Dad is a big fan of bear hugs and butterfly kisses. I am proud to have a Dad who wears his endearments on his sleeve. He is never good at hiding his feelings. (it could be good or bad, i know heehee)  But Mom and I think THAT is what makes him a great Dad. :)

Proud to be my Daddy's Girl

(I'm never good at waiting..tsk, tsk) 

I told you about the 'something' Mom has to come up with ...just so Dad could open something on the eve of Father's Day?

Here it is. I was already sleeping when she gave him this. Probably to make sure, I won't spoil another surprise, heehee.

You hear this from us everyday so maybe this won't sound extraordinary anymore... 

WE LOVE YOU DAD! 

 Mom and I are truly lucky to have you in our lives.  I know we have told you ' i love you' like a zillion times so allow me to be a little unique this time...

ASpecial  Note to a One Special Dad:

Thank you Dad for always making us feel loved and special.  I know that in life, you only get to have one special hero. Like how you are Mom's Knight in Shining Armor. Mom already gave you that title so I'll try to be a little different. Hmmm, how about  'My Superman'? Your supernatural ability to make everything okay makes you deserving of such title. When you are around, we feel secure. We know you will always be there for us. If by any chance things get awry , we know we can always count on you to cushion the blow. So before I get affected with the 'teenage angst/rebellion syndrome'...i ask your forgiveness and understanding in advance.  Rest assured, I WILL FOREVER BE YOUR LITTLE GIRL. I know I will always look up to you. . We are so proud of you and we love you to bits!

I love you Daddy.

We love you...always have & always will.
