When peanutbutter came home last month, he brought this toy that my SIL bought for Ykaie. It’s a Totally Me! Airbrush Tattoo set for kids.

The kit comes with 24 stencils, 10 markers, air sprayer, and easel.

Daddy helped Ykaie with her first airbrush tattoo which was supposed to be in the shape of a dragon fly.

I think the marker’s ink doesn’t stick that much to the skin. It spreads and gives a fan out look to what was supposed to be a nice shape.

After Ykaie, her cousin Cyra came next and chose a musical note shape. The result was the same, the ink spread on her skin.

But eventhough, this doesn’t give out a really nice, firm tattoo result, Ykaie loved it. She played with it until she’s used and re-used all the stencils {it was only made with stickers}. Only when the markers ran out of ink  was this toy able to rest. Then she resumed playing with the games in her tablet. Good thing she has one of those headphones that is similar to the Pioneer Headphones at guitar center, the noise from her games was kept to a minimum.

I enrolled Ykaie for the McDonald’s Kiddie Crew Workshop because I want her to experience what if feels like to be in a workshop and in a business and customer oriented environment. No, I don’t think it’s such too young an age for her to be experiencing such. I think her age is just right because not only will it open her eyes, it will also teach her to be more friendly and to be open to new experiences.

The McDonald’s Kiddie Crew Workshop is a 5-day summer program specially designed for kids ages 6-12 years old. During each workshop day, Kiddie Crew members will get to experience on-floor training like greeting customers and assisting the crew at the drive-thru and front counters; showcase their skills through creative art workshops; and learn the importance of hard work, discipline and teamwork, through values formation lessons.

FIRST DAY

Luckily, she already knew someone in class — my friend Rizza’s son, Mark Jeffrey who also took the workshop with his cousin.

Ykaie’s schedule is 1pm-3pm everyday.

Orientation was scheduled on their first day. Their batch was toured around the store and each station was explained to them.

It was dated May 8, 2011.

I found this post in the Note section of my Facebook Page. Apparently, it is a post I dedicated to all moms out there on the day meant only for us mommies….

Saludo talaga ako sa mga nanay dahil yan ang pinaka-mahirap na trabaho sa buong mundo..

Ang nanay ang may pinakamahirap na trabaho sa balat ng lupa. 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. Matindi pa sa doktor dahil walang day-off at 24 hours on call. Parang endorser ng Vitamins, “bawal magkasakit”. Parang OFW na minaltrato- walang sweldo, walang bakasyon, walang leave, bawal umabsent. Walang benepisyo. Walang medical, dental o kahit na ano pa mang insurance. Walang holi-holiday. Di pwedeng mag-reimburse ng expenses. Walang promotion at di pwedeng mag-reklamo. All-around din ang trabaho na ito: Nurse, sekretarya, organizer, planner, taga-kumpuni ng sirang-laruan, mananhi ng sirang damit, taga-tikim ng pagkain, taga-buhat, at higit sa lahat, janitor. Kaya dapat dito ga-kalabaw ang lakas mo…at ang trabahong ito ay panghabang-buhay.

Take Note: Wala na ngang sweldo ikaw pa ang magpapa-sweldo. Magbibigay ng baon, pambili ng chichirya, laruan, incentives, tuition fee at iba pa. And when you die? you have to give whatever is left.

The oddest thing about everything is that you actually enjoy them. Kung pwede lang na doblehin mo pa yung mga ibinibigay mo, dodoblehin mo. Masarap kasi yung feeling.

I felt closer to my mom when I became a mother. You won’t understand how a mother feels until you become one. It’s a sacrifice, it’s a blessing, it’s contentment, it’s BLISS….

And I wouldn’t have it any other way….

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms out there who has to miss a school play, a graduation, or her child’s first communion because they had to go to work…

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms out there who needs to stay awake all through the night to take calls from irate callers…

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms out there who encounters the rush hour daily, sits in traffic, and fights for her place at the bus, the train, the LRT or the MRT.

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms out there who stays at home, day in and day out, to take care of her baby…

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms out there who works during the day and goes to school at night and still finds time to take care and be with their kids.

Happy Mother’s Day to the moms out there who are expecting. Is it a girl or a boy? Do you already know?

Happy Mother’s day to the  Stage Moms out there!

Happy Mother’s Day to the mother’s who stay with their kids 24/7, makes sure they eat vegetables and  sleeps at noon.

Happy Mother’s Day to all the Grandmoms and Mother-In-Laws!

Happy Mother’s Day to the WAHMS who is almost awake the whole day, orders take out or delivery because they have no time to cook, and has the most messy house ever.

Happy Mother’s to the single moms who try to raise their kids alone.

Happy Mother’s Day to the Sporty Mom’s out there who plays badminton, tennis, and every other sport I could think of and don’t know how to play.

Happy Mother’s Day to each mom who drops by my blog every single day, whether you drop by regularly or you just happen to be here….

Enjoy your day!

Caught In Between a Rock & a Hard Place?…. Lean on The Rock

May 7, 2013

There isn’t a single outing or microvacation that I didn’t feel guilty about. I guess that’s one of the things I signed up for when I allowed my husband to go away and work overseas. Since he is away, he isn’t be able to go with us on outings/swimmings/ malling 90% of the time. And [...]
