Kiara's sporting a new look. A look that suits who she really is. Geek slash Nerd.
Kiara: Would anyone believe that these are prescription glasses?
Janiz: With the geek and the nerd that you are, you can probably pull it off.
Kiara: Really? *bright smile*
Janiz: What are you thinking? What's going on in that web-like brain of yours?
Kiara: Oh, nothing much. I'm planning to be wearing this look for a while.
Janiz: *phew* I was expecting something more, but I'm fine with that. *wink*
Because of me and my daughter's love for anything Japanese, one of her friends is also Japanese! She studies here but every so often, when school's out, she'd be back to Japan. Kiara loves to hear all her stories about her home town in Osaka.
Kiara: You know mom, Hikaru's family is close friends with the owner of Meiji.
Janiz: THE Meiji?!
Kiara: Yes! Meiji, the makers of Hello Panda, Choco Baby and all the other stuffs we usually buy from the grocery.
Janiz: Really? Small world.
Kiara: Yeah, small world AND we'll be having a small box-full of Meiji products!
Janiz: Great! Tell Hikaru thanks in advance.
And so we did recieve the package which we devoured in a week's time!
Every now and then my daughter would try to reinvent her wardrobe. I would love to dress her up, but these days I don't really have much to say on what she wants to wear. She basically does the choosing, I just do the critiquing.
Janiz: Why don't you wear these?
Kiara: *frown*
Janiz: What's wrong with these clothes?
Kiara: One word: Boring!
Janiz: So what do you want to wear?
Kiara: How about these?
Janiz: *sigh* In the end, it's still your choice that gets the pick.
Since most of my sister-in-laws migrated to the US and Canada, Kiara is left with her "Samku". It's not that she's complaining, she would have loved to have all of them home but now she has her Samku to her heart's content. They basically have their own moments, Kiara would hang with her Samku the whole day and she wouldn't even mind that I leave her home.
I would have to give credit to my sister-in-law for my daughter's fondness in cooking. I've long known that my daughter is domesticated, when she was 3 she would always offer a hand in every house chores, that's why it's not that surprising that she'd grow a liking in cooking.
Kiara: Samku, what will we cook for dinner?
Samku: Grilled pork-chops?
Kiara: Yey! You're grilled pork-chops are the best!
Like I've said, I'm trying so hard to do turbo-blogging. But my internet connection seemed to be intermittent these days. I'm so bad, this post is long overdue. I deserve some spanking.
Before we left for Manila we had dinner at The Promenade.
I was basically force feeding that night since I'm so stressed out with all the packing for the following day.
Kiara was of course delighted when food was served. I love the look in her eyes at the sight of food.
Janiz: Don't make it too obvious that you're "matakaw".
Kiara: I'm SO not. I'm really just hungry. I've prepared my stomach to a full dinner, so I don't want to leave disappointed.
Janiz: So I expect you to finish your food on your own.
Kiara: Of course mom. It's been years since I asked you to finish my food for me -- not unless I don't like how it taste.
Janiz: I hope you'll like your dinner then.
The Promenade
Days Hotel, 4th Floor, The Atrium, Iloilo City
Lately I'm in for comfort dressing, it's just Kiara who's into fashion nowadays. She does make her own fashion statement. Here's my hoax biker girl.
Kiara: Mom is it ok if I wear this fingerless gloves with my outfit?
Janiz: Yeah, it's ok. If anyone would give you a weird stare, don't mind them.
Kiara: I mean if it's in Manila it's ok, but if I'm in Iloilo I'm all too concious.
Janiz: Don't mind them, wear what you love.
Kiara: Thanks mom! *hugs*
