ABC Wednesday Challenge: K

It's summertime once again, and that means my KIDS will hang out in the house most of the time. I am in deep thought on what summer activities would Keep these Kids busy the entire summer. Maybe I should ask hubby to teach them how to make Kites and fly them.

 Or maybe it's time to teach them how to do Kitchen chores like cooking. But then again, I would have to convince my eldest on being near the cooking stove. He met an accident last month that gave him burnt scars on the body.

this is Jet's burnt skin

 I guess I should start listing the activities that my Kids can do this summer before I start turning into a monster mom.LOL.

biking is one my kids' favorite activities

Mommy Moments: White

"Though your sins are like scarlet, I will make them as white as snow. 

Though they are red like crimson, I will make them as white as wool." - Isaiah 1:18

This Bible verse never cease to amaze me on how forgiving our Lord God is. White is always associated with purity and cleanliness. For this week's Mommy Moments, I am very glad to share with you photos of my kids looking so good and angelic in white.

Next Friday is the start of Summer vacation, there are more Mommy Moments to capture and share. Until then, I hope you'll enjoy your weekend with your family.

ABC Wednesday: "J"

My family is rich is letter J; all of my boys' name start with it. Did I do it on purpose? Maybe in a way, because I like to scribble the letter "J". The cursive letter "J" fascinates me for some reason unknown to me. Anyways, let's start with DadEngr.; his name is JOEY

Then my 'tween and eldest son's name is JUAN RAPHAEL we also call him JET

My middle child's name is JUSTIN GABRIEL, that is Gab for us but Justin to his friends.

My youngest and the preschooler's name is JEON AENIED, and everyone calls him JEE.

I think these four J's are enough for the ABC Wednesday entry for now.

Blue Monday: My First Entry

This is my first entry for Blue Monday since I feel so down today because of the fever,cough and cold; I opted to look for pictures that would make me feel high. And I mean literally high, here are some of the photos taken on the 16th Hotair Balloon Festival last February.

Mommy Momments: Purple

Purple is associated with nobility and spirituality. It is also considered as the color of royalty. But for my little boy Jeon, he opted to have a purple shirt because his favorite Yum (one of the Jollitown characters) is wearing a purple shirt too.

This is Yum

That's Yum and Jeon

I have my share of purple too! I just bought purple clothes hangers this morning (not on purpose though). I also have a photo of me wearing purple during my cousin's baby shower.

With my cousins (Asha and Pong)

Just a few MommyLESsons about purple, lighter shade of purple suggests romance and the darker ones suggests riches. If you want to cool down, it is always nice to wear purple in bluer shades. See more of the purple shade on other Mommy Moments entries.

TCP Entry: Nell

In 1994, the movie "Nell" won the Best Actress award for Jodi Foster. In this week's TCP theme, it is all about movies which won Best Actress award. I remember watching this film in the movie house with my cousins. I think this movie came after another very good movie Schindler's List. 

Here is the plot of the movie based on Wikipedia:

"When stroke victim Violet Kellty dies in her home in the North Carolina forest, the town doctor, Jerry Lovell (Liam Neeson), finds a terrified young woman hiding in the rafters of the house. She speaks angrily and rapidly, but seems to have a language of her own. Looking at Violet's Bible, he finds a note asking whoever finds it to look after her daughter, Nell. The sheriff shows him a news clipping from which he surmises that Nell (Jodie Foster) is the dead woman’s daughter, conceived by a rapist.

Jerry seeks the help of Dr. Paula Olsen (Natasha Richardson), a researcher working with autistic children. Almost immediately Paula discovers that Nell's language is English, based partly on her mother's aphasic speech after a stroke. Jerry and Paula begin a grudging friendship, although he detests her coldly clinical, analytical tactics."

This is a must see movie and I suggest if you can find a copy of this film take time to watch it  and you will definitely be moved by the excellent acting prowess of Jodi Foster. There is no doubt she truly deserved the Best Actress award.
