Girls' Day Out

A close friend of mine called me up last week to know if I am okay and what keeps me busy nowadays after Christmas and New Year. We decided to meet and have our lunch together at The Mall Ramkamhaeng this morning.

I got super excited because it has been a long time since our last meeting. I woke up at 7:45 am today and went to the meeting place an hour earlier. Good thing, we met there earlier than our expected meeting time. We ate lunch at the mall, and then we decided to go to Emporium Mall after our terrific lunch date. I told her that I would like to take pictures of me and us so I could document the event here on my blog. I gave her my Christmas present and she liked it.

When we we’re there at the entrance of the mall, she told me to pose near the snowmen and the Christmas tree. It was really exciting. She could really see the nice spot and shots. She has “eyes” for photography. And I love taking pictures so we make a good pair.



After our photo shots outside and inside the mall, she suggested to watch a movie with me because she would like to see “Couples Retreat” or “Did you hear about the Morgans?” I recommended that she must see Couples Retreat because it is really awesome movie and I’ve already watched it with my sweetheart (of course). I was willing to watch it again but unfortunately, it was not available anymore. That was shown on November last year. I told her to just grab a DVD copy of it. We both agreed to watch the other one and she did not want me to pay for my movie ticket (her treat). I was craving for caramel flavored pop corn and I bought for two (she liked plain).

After the movie, I offered her to eat sundae ice cream at Swenssen’s (my treat) before we go home. We both loved the taste of sundae. I ordered the nutty sundae with strawberry and blue berry cheese flavor. I just loved the taste and would like to come back soon.



I told her that I want to buy stuff for making a baby scrap book. She accompanied me to the stationery shop and I bought four kinds of pink paper with pretty designs, a set of acetate film and a cozy art paper cover. I still need more items to buy but I’d like to go home before the sun sets. I can buy those at the nearest stationery shops in our place. We went to the BTS station after my shopping spree and we parted at past 5:00pm. I really had fun with her.

My First Daughter's Birthday

My first daughter was born on January 2, 2000. I will never forget the day she was born; because she is my first child (I guess any mom would feel the same way on me because I am, too). She is celebrating her ten years. I can’t believe she’s growing up so fast. She is my little angel. Next school year, she will be in fifth grade. I remember her happy, smiling face :). I love her so much.

I remember when I took her in Boracay beach (in the Philippines) last August of 2007, she was so happy to be with me. It was her first experience to ride an airplane and to travel a little far from Manila. She used to go to some provinces in Luzon.

I used to take her many times at work and when I had travels for official business. She enjoyed traveling with me so much. She’s more of a mommy’s girl and she is really sweet like me. I guess she resembles most of my personality.

I hope she can be with me this year in Bangkok to meet her baby sister. My sweetheart told me if I wanted my daughter or my mom to come for a visit this summer vacation on May. I said, I would definitely love to see them. I miss and love them both.

If only I could take her with me here in Bangkok so she could live here. The problem is, the education system here is not good and yet so expensive. I am only concern about her studies as I would like her to learn English very well. If she’s going to study here, she’ll be required to study Thai language.

We are living here in Bangkok, for the mean time but not for good. It is because my sweetheart’s work is here and we have to stay here. The least that we can do is just invite her to visit us during summer vacation so we could be together somehow.

I called her up today to greet her a happy birthday and just to hear her sweet, lovely voice would be enough to make me happy. To know that she’s happy, safe and healthy. My sweetheart and I bought her a Christmas and birthday present last December. She already has got them a week after I sent them via EMS courier. We are happy to know she liked our gifts for her. I’ve been praying for her everyday.

I promised to call her again, next month. I am so grateful that she’s in good hands living with my paternal aunt and grandmother. I would like her to grow up responsible, independent, loving, God fearing, obedient and patient. She may not be the most intelligent student in class, it doesn’t matter. I know she’s an average like me. I would love her to learn good and positive values, especially to have more of spiritual values. As I don’t want her to repeat the same mistakes I had in the past. I love her so much.

Happy Birthday, Nikx!!! Mommy loves and misses you very much.
