Not all our vacation was spent on shopping, complaining about airline policy and the sweltering summer heat. To get them off my back, I agreed to my wife’s suggestion to enroll our daughter on a ballet class. I’m not expecting she’ll dance like Lisa Macuja. But it’s a good way to spend her extra energy. Besides, I don’t like my wife and daughter bothering me while I attend on some matters regarding my parents’ estate.
As usual, my wife took photos. She wants to document every stage of my daughter’s formative years.
The class includes callisthenic and stretching exercises. But being over-weight, her teachers have to assist her in some of their work-outs.
To escape the summer heat, I made it a point to go somewhere during weekends to cool-off. Our usual destinations are the beach and swimming pools.
Before we returned back, we went to Tagaytay with some friends from Riyadh.
Well, so much for my vacation. Back to reality and will resume regular programming on my next post.
That vacation will be very memorable for Bea, especially the ballet class and first horse ride. =) Dapat yata mag ballet class ako to trim down. Hahaha.
ReplyDeleteNasabi ko na rin sa sarili ko noon na iisa lang ang tanawin sa Tagaytay; pero ayos naman kasi nakita ko sa travel book (can't recall the name of the author), 'Taal volcano and the lake' is one of the "1001 places to see before you die!" o",)
ReplyDeleteSa tingin ko po dapat may follow-up ang dancing ni Bea dyan sa KSA. At next time siguro dapat video na ang makikita namin dito.
losing two pounds in three weeks is a lot already.
ReplyDeleteSeryoso siya sa pagballet ha? Yung pose niya with her skirt, cute, palakihan mo yan, i kuadro pa!
bah, effort yan!
hey, you're in Manila. Welcome back. Enjoy your vacation. Ballet is a very good way to keep your daughter pre occupied.
ReplyDeletewelcome back to the Philippines!
ReplyDeletethat is so cool - to have your daughter enroll in a ballet class. daughter Kay when she was younger likes boy than girl games. buti na nga lang at di natransform ha ha but seriously, i'd like to suggest to bring your daughter to art classes. i think it would be an enjoyable experience for her, too. :-)
BlogusVox, I disappeared from reading and writing blog. I sam grateful mto have rejoined the blogosphere. I hope the vacation was fun
ReplyDeleteWow, ang daming napuntahan, i am sure your daughter loved it very much! So now, you're back to work right? Balik init sa Riyadh?
ReplyDeleteNice to see you and your family Blogusvox.. Cute naman ng baby ballerina mo. Thanks for showing us the beauty of our homeland.. Awesome family you got there.
ReplyDeleteMs.Jo, I think aerobics class is good enough if you only want to trim down.
ReplyDeleteRJ, hamo, pag merong school program and I'm available, I'll video some scene.
Francesca, meron syang similar pose wearing a tutu. Yan ata ang ekwa-kwadro ni mrs.
ReplyDeleteKa Rolly, yan talaga ang purpose kaya I agree. Palagi kasing naka dikit sa akin ang anak ko.
bing, that's what I'm going to do next time at tsaka swimming lesson too.
ReplyDeleteKeith, how are you? Long time no see ah. Nice to know your back to blogging again.
sheng, oo, back to reality na ulit. Kayod na naman sa lupang buhangin.
ReplyDeleteMs.Loida, thank you. kelan ba bakasyon nyo sa Pinas?
huwaw! ang cute cute... ha ha ha.. tambochok! galing mag alaga ni mrs. blogusvox..
ReplyDeletegreat to be home isn't it ? nice know you had lots of fun with the family on your much needed vacation :)
ReplyDeleteever, ay nagagalit ang chikiting ko pag sinasabi syang tamobchok! Sexy daw sya. : D
ReplyDeletebw, you're right bro. but like any vacation, it was too short.
isa sa mga hinahangaan ko ang pag-alaga sa mga bata.. mahusay din kasi sa pagpapa-alala si mr. blogusvox.. ito ang tatak ng pinoy!
ReplyDeleteay nga pala- sorry pala kay tambochok! este kay sexy..ha ha ha.
ReplyDeleteever, salamat. alam mo nag-iisa lang kasi yan, kaya napapansin namin ng husto.
ReplyDeleteWow, I think ballet is doing your daughter good, and she seems to like it.
ReplyDeleteHow was Tagaytay weather? How I long to go somewhere really cool. I was there last February with my family and went horseback riding for the first time too. (haha, at the age of 24)
Vacations always end too soon....
Kat, true, basta bakasyon parang saglit lang. Tagaytay was also hot, but not as hot as manila.
ReplyDeleteohooy eto yung sinabi kong nagliliyad si bea hahahahaha sagwa ng term ko parang salitang kalye hahaha.
ReplyDeleteeto ang aking pinakamalaking frustration sa buhay,na magkaanak ng babae, having kids is really a blessings either boy or girl pero mas prefer ko sana baby girl? why? wala lang basta lang hahaha, lets face it, boy will grow up and will be a head of the family and much focused on his family and lesser to the parents but
the girl will get married, will become a mother at mas nakakarelate na sya sa pagiging mother
at kahit anu pang busy nya sa family nya e di nya nalilimutang dalawin yung mga olds.
its true na its our obligation to raise our children and its not their obligation to take care of us pero syempre pag matanda na tayo nagiging ksp narin at maghahanap narin ng pansin nila, hayz,pero ok alng,ang mahalaga maganda maging buhay nila at maging successful,yun lang e mapapanatag natayo (para yatang bila akong naging dramatic hahaha).
adorable, inggit ako sa inyo, buo pamilya nyo hahaha.

Lee naman. ang pangarap ng magulang ko mabibiyayaan sana kahit isang lalake. Kasi "dying" ang family name namin. Katulad mo hindi rin ako uma-asang aalagaan ng anak ko pagtanda.
ReplyDeleteay nakuh nagiisa nga pala yan at wala kang baby boy, bata pa naman kayo pwede pa,ako dina malapit na magmenopows hahaha.
ReplyDeletekami isa din lang yung kapatid naming lalaki na nagdala ng name pero my 2 boys naman sya kaya buhay parin ang lahi,pahabol
pa kayo ng isa kasi hirap din ng iisa anak,parang kulang talaga pag isa lang.
