The Little Popstar in Adventure Time

I don't exactly know all the names of the show's characters but I'm very familiar with Princess Bubblegum, because she's pink and a princess. I was shocked to hear my very own bubblegum singing Island Song, the music at the CBB of Adventure Time.


♫ Come along with me
And the butterflies and bees
We can wander through the forest
And do so as we please ♪

Come along with me
♪ To a cliff under a tree
Where we'll gaze upon the water
As an everlasting dream ♫

The Little Bugger: Where Little Divas Belong

Yo, all the mommas with little girls, put your hands up!


When I knew I was pregnant with LB, I actually felt since day 1 that it's going to be a girl. And it thrilled my inner senses that I would have like a real life-sized doll that I can prep up for any occasion. My guts didn't fail me. On my 5th month of infanticipation, an ultrasound confirmed my baby's gender. I started to hoard pretty things for her --- Hello Kitty, pink stuff and everything for my little diva. I never thought that my diva treatment to her will make her such though. Haha! Now, let us not be mistaken that I am totally raising a spoiled brat here. Say, diva in a 19th century definition but with a modern twist. Something like a princess of the new millennium. Alright?

Something like Shiela Baluyot aimed to have when she opened The Little Bugger.

Crybaby + Courage

I just had a terrible night (as of this writing, that night was like 5 hours earlier). 

But before the terrible night happened, LB and I went to SM Marikina to meet my  friend who came home from British Columbia for some vacay. C gave LB Hello Kitty plate, bowl, spoon & fork and a large Ziploc of assorted chocolates and candies. We had some pizza and pasta, and a lot of catching up. LB had pink macarons. My eyes welled with tears while sharing a heartbreak. She didn't give any advice or opinions, but she listened. And I super appreciate that. We parted ways as she still needs to go out with her family. LB and I looked for our blue shirts for their Family Day/Sports Fest in school this Friday. Then we bought food. Then we rolled home.


When I reached our gate, I didn't feel anything bad, except that it's too dark. When I opened the door, switched on the light, WALEY. No electricity! I panicked kasi may kuryente sa kapitbahay. I knocked (ng OA sa lakas) at the landlady's house and asked why. She said may gumawa daw sa post kasi nga it was fluctuating na for like 1 week already. At ako, nagalit. Kasi sabi ko ginawa na eh ba't wala pa ding kuryente. Baka daw sa fuse, sa circuit breaker. Eh leche, kung electrician ako, magtatanong ba ako? I know nothing about what they were saying. I know they were just concerned. But I f*ckin' need electricity for a light and a fan so we could peacefully sleep. Nagalit ako kasi natakot ako for me and LB; kami lang sa house eh.

The Little Popstar Sings for the King

It's Rhambo's 28th birthday tomorrow. And we're not sure yet if we can spend it together as a family. So to make LB aware of her Tatay's special day, I asked her to sing for him before going to sleep the other night, thus this video. Lo and behold, we both got into the mood of making chika. Howmaygad --- I was so loka-loka laughing at her for revealing that I'm not a good mom --- always on my computer! Yuhh. I was crazy like that. Well, she loves me so much she said Rhambo's in the camp in front of his laptop, even before revealing mine! Hahaha! :p


Happy birthday to our king, Tatay Rhambo!

The Little Popstar as the Little Mermaid

This video was taken exactly on LB's birthday last year. So we were still in our pink-gray-black room in MIL's house. Part of Your World is her ultimate favorite song. I guess she started singing it when she was around 2 1/2 years old; the times when it's part of a "medley" that I sing to her whenever I lull her to sleep. I hope when she reaches her tweens/teens, she'd be able to sing this in a musical play. Kahit yung sa school lang. I'd be the proudest, for sure. ❤ 


What do you think of her performance?

Nanaygosyante of 2013: February

Somebody asked me why I feature entrepreneurs and online stores in this blog as much as I share my life as a mom. Simple: to inspire. I believe that in order for you to be the person you want to be, you have to surround yourself with positive influence. And what's more positive than featuring them here, right? I do not have entrepreneur-friends so nobody could nudge me into going and taking a risk to open up my own biz. Yes momma, one of my many goals is to be a full-fledged mompreneur. I want to manage my own time so I could still be a wife and mom; but also earn money for our small family. My husband's salary could be enough, but it's always better to have extra. I would really be so happy to be the woman mentioned in Proverbs 31:16.

What I Think About Primemont Science School


My husband and I decided to transfer our daughter to another school. So everything I wrote here before does not matter (at least to us) anymore. Please CLICK HERE and HERE if you want to know the reasons why. Thank you.
