HAPPY 5TH BIRTHDAY ELISHA JOEY

Posted on July 23, 2010 by MeiliLo

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 2002 when in my prayer time a little voice whispered to me that my first born will be a boy and that his name shall be ELISHA JOEY. Elisha is a prophet in the Old Testament and his name also signifies double portion anointing. Joey is obviously from your papa’s name. So in short, your name means double portion of your papa, but of course, with a touch of me When your pa and I got married in 2003, we decided to have a baby after we have taken some time to enjoy our being couple … Continue reading →

PLEASE Pray for Baby Je-An

Posted on April 2, 2010 by MeiliLo

This afternoon, my friend Ruby and I with my kids went to baby Je-An’s house to say goodbye and bless him before he leaves for Manila tomorrow night. Je-An and his mom, lolo and lola will travel to Manila by boat because his pedia cardiologist (Dr. Franco) won’t give him clearance to ride the airplane as it is too dangerous for his condition. They will leave Bacolod around 9pm tomorrow night and will be arriving Manila about 10pm Sunday night. Analyn, Je-An’s mom, has an uncle who drives a taxi will pick them up and bring them somewhere (they still don’t know where they can spend the night). Monday morning they’re hoping to be admitted in the Philippine Heart Center. Initial estimates of Je-An’s expenses will reach at least P200,000 ( approx. $ 4,200) which covers for Pulmonary Artery Catether and Pulmonary Artery Banding. The family will leave Bacolod with … Continue reading →

AWARD WINNING KID

Posted on March 26, 2010 by MeiliLo

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 at  times you DO talk like a grown  up, you’re still just a little boy who wants to run and play… Today you received several awards namely: GOLD in Chinese with Best in Math, Best in Language, Best in Social Studies and Best in Bible. SILVER in English with Best in English award. In the past, it was your A-ma who gave you your Chinese ribbons and I gave your English ribbons. But today it was I and Angkong who were there…  As I looked at you on stage, I saw not really much of the … Continue reading →

A 4 Year Old’s Prayer

Posted on December 3, 2009 by MeiliLo

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 family. Thank you for our ROCKING CHAIR. Thank you that tomorrow I can go to school and make my… (you paused and asked me – Mama, what will we make tomorrow in my science class, I forgot – so I had to remind you that you’ll make a clay dough) … my clay dough. Thank you for blessing others. In Jesus name, Amen. I won’t and can’t enumerate everything but just to give you an idea of what you prayed for as a 4 year old boy, read on  :) … for Jose Rizal … Continue reading →

Dating My Prince

Posted on October 25, 2009 by MeiliLo

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 as one So since the day I knew I was pregnant, I have thought of creative ideas how not to make him feel jealous and to assure him that he is still loved. Before Meimei (his sister) came out, I already asked family members not to tease EJ that he’s not loved anymore because a new baby is coming knowing that that kind of joke (bad joke actually) will open the door to jealousy or worse, will cause EJ to hate her sister. I have always been careful not to make him feel rejected and not … Continue reading →

DOES THE FIRST BORN LOOK LIKE MOM OR DAD?

Posted on November 16, 2008 by MeiliLo

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 his dad as what most people say. As to the brain, my son is very smart so I can accept that his brain is more like mine (just don’t tell his dad ok? hihi). My brother in law looks more like my mother in law’s dad. My sister in law looks like her dad. This leaves me wondering if first borns around the globe look more like mom or dad. =) How about in your family? Does the first born look like mom or dad? Wheter single or married, I believe there’s a first born … Continue reading →
