Haiku For Dao

For our dear daughter
Mommy and daddy love you!
Happy birthday Dao!

The Golf Car

My boss smilingly gave Frances the car key when she asked  to borrow the golf car for us to drive her around the school park. She always do this when  Daddy  comes to visit us. Although I find time to drive her around, she is just excited to have Daddy bring us to the park.

One hot Saturday morning

Happy, yippee!!!

Frances' Handwriting

When Frances was 2.5 years old, she could identify  the 26 letters of the alphabet. Her favourite was the letter "Q". Now that she's 4 years old, she can write dictated- simple words like common names. She really likes to write our names continuously in one line :)

Frances' 6th Travel To Thailand with Grandma and Auntie

Frances "Dao" has traveled more than her Dad and me did. Her intermittent short stays  in the Philippines made us realize that she should enjoy more what Thailand has to offer her here than spending her childhood life in my country.

My hubby and I went to fetch them at Suvarnabhumi Airport (pronounced as "Swannapoom"- I'm just wondering why the wrong transliteration is left uncorrected until now the fact that the sound "V" is non-existent in Thailand -which confuses foreigners who read it as SUVARNABAHUMI......).

Anyway, I am posting here our photos taken at the airport.

Frances seems to be enjoying the cart ride her Dad is offering....

Until here... I'l be posting again some photos of her in our place in Wangnamyen District.

Thanks for viewing.

Frances in Baiyoke, Bangkok

I am posting our pictures here taken during my hubby's graduation at Baiyoke Hotel, Bangkok on May 22, 2011.

This third photo is very special because it was taken by Frances when I requested her to be our photographer. Everybody was surprised to see a 3 years-10 months old taking pictures during the graduation program. Although it took her about a minute to have this photo taken, the people on stage were just kind enough to let her take the time. Thank you, Frances..

....more to come in my next blog updates.

I'm sorry I haven't   been reading your posts and updating  my  site for a while because of my work schedules. Anyway, I'd just like to apologize to my friends and readers here. 

I Miss Frances

It's good that my brother-in-law always keeps us updated about Frances- her activities and funny makings at home with her grandma.

Whatever happened to the piano? We can see its strings exposed. Or you might be better at playing it like  the harp ::arpegio?? hehe

Inspired To write A Haiku 7

My cute smart daughter

Frances is her name!

Frances Has Got A Polka Dot Dress!

The good thing with Frances is that she appreciates simple things whatever mommy,daddy or granny has given her.Her sweet little voice,"Thank you, mommy","Thank you ,Daddy"  mean a lot to us.We missed that much.

A week after she had her Teddy skirt was her Polka Dot dress. She was so thankful to have her polka dot dress. I knew she loved to  have a memory of those with her note ,"Mommy, picture...picture".After her pictorial  she went out with  mom's high heeled shoes and knocked at the doors to announce ,"Look what mommy made for me. "  Ha ha! The Thai neighbors  would always say " Suwai jang Leuy"(It's so beautiful) then  gave her sweets.Frances ended up wearing her dress the whole day.Wow, Frances has got many treasures!

It's show time!!

Frances Has Got A New Skirt

“Wow ! Suwai  Jang Luey!”, said Frances in Thai ( Wow. It’s so beautiful.)upon looking at her hand sewn skirt by mommy. It was her  inexplicable day! Frances has got a new Teddy skirt. Frances was so happy to pair it with her yellow shirt. She went out to show off to the neighborhood. Actually, Frances loves everything that has teddy bear  and teddy designs so its no wonder she liked the skirt made from my curtain’s remaining piece.
