Migie's Toys ....

One lazy Saturday morning in Stanley, where we usually go when I'm too lazy to cook even for breakfast. We often have brunch, stay for some outdoor activities, grocery shopping and just enjoying the south side. After all it's always sunny in the south side :-) 
When we arrive, Jony, Migie's classmate is already rocking the place with his naughty ways in scooter. I approached her mum and she informed us that Lamborghini is celebrating their 50th anniversary and there's going to be a parade of cars later that day. Migie was ecstatic and told us that we definitely have to stay longer. Soon we left to find a restaurant to accomplish our first goal - brunch. We settled down, ordered food and then Jony came w/ a plastic bottle that contains a muddy water with some worm creature inside.
Daddy, got agitated and send Jony away. So Jony, joined his Dad who was busy arguing with the organizers as they are not allowing anybody from taking a photo of the Lambo collections that are on display. Apparently, he even went back home to get his heavy munitions (camera), because he himself is a lover of this car. Well, who wouldn't get excited?
After the brunch, we brought them to the playground as usual. I was walking around checking out stuff when I noticed a commotion at the back of the museum. I went to take a peek and right there and then Lamborghini cars started to arrive, passing by to park into position. I phoned Migie's Dad and in a few seconds Migie came running towards the Lambo. We we're shooed away and they started putting warning tapes so to prevent the public from approaching the cars. We're lucky to be upfront, in a position where we can view every single car that arrives. Migie's heart beats faster, every time a new one arrives.
I told him I should take a photo of him while the cars are still visible...but when he turn around he's got a long face ....

And when I asked him why does he look so sad. He said "How come we don't have a car like that?. Mommy, can you find a better job than Daddy so you can buy one?" My poor child, he doesn't have the slightest idea that only the rich can afford them. I calmed him down, saying that we are not in need of a luxury car. I said that if he finds himself a better paying job maybe he can afford to buy a sports car. That all he needs to do is to study well, work hard and save money. So we continue watching until all the cars are in position and then we're allowed to get closer and take pictures.

Two hours later ( yes that's how long we stared at these cars), Daddy wanted to go home. He told us to use the toilet first before getting in the car. Inside the toilet, I noticed that Migie's face is red and and he was saying something  while washing his hands. When I got closer, I overheard him saying " I need to study, I need to work hard ...I really need to buy that car". Hahahahahah! And it didn't stop there. In the car, he demands to have an allowance since he's 7 years old and so he can start saving for his sports car! OMG!

Now a young lady ....

She's turning 16 this year, still a baby in so many ways. She doesn't like dressing up, not loving colors in her wardrobe but black. Pixel's dance night is fast approaching. I've been constantly reminding her about the preparation that she needs to do before the big night. Always brushing it off until she realized it's the end of the week, and she only have 5 days to prepare. So she and her friends went on a dress hunt and luckily they found one on the same day. Now, it's my turn to help her w/ the shoes and accessories that will complete her choice of dress. Hours have passed, blisters in my feet, hungry, exhausted, 10 shops later and we still haven't found the perfect shoes for her dress. Not to mention, she changes her mind few times on what color to choose. Then finally we found a pair just before the sun set on the horizon...whew! The next day we took care of her reading glasses, she change her style from a dorky wide black frames to a simple light colored one. She even agreed to get some disposable lenses, so she can wear nice make up and look good during the dance night. 
Few days passed and finally the big night.We started with her face, put a little boosting cream to leave on for few hours before we apply her make up. Then we moved to her hair, shampooed it, conditioned then drying out. Followed by curling iron, spray and styling. Next is the make up, base, powder, shadows, highlights, blush and finally the lipstick ... I was her personal beautician ;-)

 The Year 11 Dance Night is suppose to be a masquerade, so she and her friends recycled their old  Halloween costume.
