Siblings

This was taken yesterday. I love taking pictures of the kids when they are together. I simply love them both! Little boy has was trying to sit on his own here while his sister holds him. Well, she loves him so much that she doesn't want him to fall, hehe! Typical of a loving sister. I just hope that they will both grow up caring and loving each other.

School for Future Beauty Experts

B Street design claims to be one of the most dynamic cosmetology schools in Wichita, Kansas City. It says that they can make your dreams come true. If you want to engage in this business, its reality can be within your grasp. This school expertly trains beauticians who will be experts and professionals in the future. This is a very good principle and mission to do. You don’t have to selfishly make business and just serve your own interest. Real success is measured by making others happy and likewise successful. That is altruism. Let’s just hope that these cosmetology schools will really “walk their talk”.

MANILA, Philippines - Malacañang sees no need to remind government officials to avoid placing the name and image either of President Benigno Aquino III or themselves on promotional materials for public projects.

Presidential spokesman Edwin Lacierda compared the move to the Aquino administration's "no wang-wang" policy, or government vehicles' non-use of sirens.

He said government officials should follow the president's example.

"Parang wang-wang yan e. Di mo na kailangan sabihin. Itong ginawang ehemplo ng Pangulo, siguro marunong na rin kayong sumunod kahit na walang utos sa inyo. You should get the drift already," Lacierda stressed.

Echoing the Palace's stand on the issue, Sen. Francis Escudero has filed Senate Bill 2187 that seeks to ban the naming of government projects after politicians or other people.

It has been common practice for national and local government officials to claim credit for infrastructure projects built during their tenure.

The bill proposes to punish violators with 1-year imprisonment and a fine ranging from P100,000 to P1 million.

This is good. I do hope that government officials will strictly follow. Finally, someone raised this concern and hopefully will be able to materialized.

Anevay's Birthday

Last July 24, we attended Anevay's 4th birthday (Blogger friend Milet's daughter). My daughter loves attending birthday parties so she's so excited. And of course she's a big fan of Jollibee so upon knowing that the party will at Jollibee, that made her even more excited. After we had our lunch we went to SM Marikina to buy a gift for the celebrant and she personally picked the gift. She even said that Anevay will surely liked it, lol!

I told my helper to come with us so that Johan will be able to attend to. It's my son's first time to attend a birthday party so I'm not surprised to see his reactions when we entered the place. He seems to be excited upon seeing a lot of kids and colorful balloons. He likes to touch the balloon that his sister was holding and his eyes are following it everywhere it goes, see the pic? LOL!

She didn't want to join the games so she just watched the kids as they play.

But of course, my daughter's party experience won't be complete if she won't be able to have a picture with the big orange bug! When Jollibee entered the room, her eyes twinkled. She's kept on asking me that she want's a picture with Jollibee.

My daughter really had fun. Jollibee made her day. Thanks Mommy Milet for inviting us :)
