Mommy Diaries: March Madness With Celestine (A Photo Montage)

And so, on some days you'll be amazed at the shadow that She casts on the white sand.

Or that She plays catch with the waves.

You'll be content that She finds zen when She sits on the edge of the water.

Or you'll be reminded of a certain goddess who rose from, when She stands on the sea foams.

I have never used my own wit on waters that took away the sand castles that I build. She does so freely, and in abundance.

The beach is called Burobudyongan. Yes, that's the name of the place, not a tongue twister. It also goes by the name 'Spice of Life' or just 'Spice'. I'm debating whether I should say this is in Allen town or in Victoria town because it's somewhere in the middle. It's the favorite local watering hole, and understandably so. It's beautiful. It's basically free. There are no entrance fees. You only pay some when you rent a cottage or one of those overnight spots on the beach front. We are frequenters and usually do our stuff at 6:00 am when the air is fresh, the front is clean and the place isn't swarmed yet by the locals.

Meanwhile. Yes, Celestine's wearing a toga because on the 21st of March she moved up from Day Care Schmaycare and come June will enroll into Kindergarten Schmarten. Everyday I'm amazed at how close she to getting into college. It felt like only yesterday when I first saw that slimy head of hers. Ha ha. Anyway, I hope she learns to read soon so she will know all the wonderful stuff that I write about her in this blog. Every milestone is a milestone. ;)

The classic peace sign.

I know she looks kinda tall. Trust me, she just turned five.

The classic salakot. Literal na suru-salakot an kasayaw. Classic, kids.

...And the classic choral presentation that will have us laughing and tearing up when the time comes. They sang "It's A Beautiful Day", these little munchkins.
Proud parents are we now. Always, always. XO, Mummy Cassie
