Dear Elisha,
For my birthday letter for you, I want to share with you how you came into this world… Ooops, not really the details of HOW you were made, but just a background of the things that took place before, during and after your birth. So read on ok?
It was in the year [...]
It was a one truly fine day spent with both the Lo’s and the Boyero’s… It was Meimei’s birthday last April 16 but we had it celebrated at Palmas Del Mar today mainly because for my 2 kids (EJ and Meimei), swimming seem to be the love of their lives! Whenever they see a swimming [...]
Dear Elisha,
I am writing this letter with tears in my eyes because as I look at you while you’re sound asleep, I realize that you are still a “baby”, but sometimes, I forget that and expect you to act like an adult. You’re only 4 years old and 8 months to be exact and even if [...]
Dear Elisha,
I’ve been meaning to write you about your prayer times because there had been a lot of instances that you amazed me with your prayers, the ones that you say on your own… Here’s one that’s very fresh that you uttered before you slept this evening (Dec. 2, 2009):
Dear God our Father,
Thank you for blessing our friends and [...]
Dear Elisha,
I was browsing through some of our pictures in China when I saw our Christmas 2008 photos. OUR Christmas means including Meimei because she was already in my tummy. I bet she felt the joy and heard the laughter those evenings we had our Christmas parties with friends and with our OFW families in Jiaxing :) Not to [...]
Elisha, my first born, was almost 4 years old when his sister was born. At his age, he still needs a lot of attention because he is only a preschooler. He still needs to be taken cared of and he still wants to be taken cared of. Although he dislikes being called a baby, I still see him [...]
Dear Elisha,
It’s been 3 days since your accident – you hit your head on the edge of the of the bench while you were playing with your classmates which resulted to an injury on your left eyebrow and swelling on the left side of your face. I keep recallingthe scene where the lady guard (Manang Josie) was [...]
My husband and I agreed that from time to time, we will write letters to our children so that someday, they have something to guide and encourage them when they need it. We can’t and we won’t be with them all the time, but with these letters, it’s as if we’re beside them. From these letters [...]
SHE WRITES:
We’re still in the spirit of the gift giving season so this post is about memorable gifts…either gift that you have received or you have given to someone. It could be the most expensive or the cheapest – doesn’t matter, as long as when you think of gifts, you remember that particular thing.
For my [...]
SHE WRITES:As you know, we are here in China and this is not a Christian nation… But that won’t stop us from celebrating the season. Tonight we will have a gathering of all the Filipinos here in our place – probably just about 20 people – and we will have exchange gifts and singing since [...]
SHE WRITES:Waking up every December 25th was one of the most exciting days of my life when I was 9 years old and younger. I would run to my gifts and open them with big ahhhs and ooohs in disbelief that Santa passed by and gave me (and my siblings) those gifts! When I found [...]
SHE WRITES:Yes I do – I like all my names. My real name is Elizabeth Rose, my nickname is Maricar and my Chinese name is Meili. Different groups call me differently – my classmates call me by my real name; my family, relatives, church and workmates call me by my nickname; and in the blogging [...]
SHE WRITES:
I’ll go straight to the point, I dread winter =( It’s too cold for me. Taking a bath / shower is a struggle, really! And to think of the time we use putting on tons of lotion and moisturizers to keep our skin hydrated. The layers of clothes we have to consider putting on [...]
SHE WRITES:
I’ve read once in an article that most first borns have the looks of their father, but the brain of their mothers…hmm… But I don’t know if this is true or false. I’m not really sure if our eldest brother looks like our mom or dad. My son (Elisha Joey) looks more like [...]
