DAY 259: October 22, 2010; FRIDAY

270 (and then some)
Days of "Strawberry Jam" without "J"


Dear Jam,

Look! You are so good at posing and only a person who is familiar with the teachings of Tyra Bank's way of modeling can tell so. This is the technique so as not to lose the neck, it's pulling the neck up and tauting the neck muscles a little bit to portray a bit of movement. This was taken on our trisikad ride where I asked you to "pose" and here's how you did it. The America's Next Top Model marathon while I was pregnant with you may have just paid off, my only concern is that's it's a bit too early. Oh well, Jeniffer Lopez's babies with husband Mark Anthony just debuted modeling for a cover of a magazine today at the early age of three years old. Why can't you, right? Your mom's a celebrity anyway. Hahah!

Today is a bit busy. I had to drop you off at Carmen before proceeding to the cafe, as usual. Now, owing to things being hectic, we forgot to bring your Meemeen. You didn't complain when I asked you if we could substitute it with your jacket. You grabbed it to your embrace after saying "Tacket" like it was any of your stuffed animals. I think coping is quite easy for you. It's like Daddy never left, or we didn't forget your cat. As for me, coping is a little harder than I could manage inwardly that I just have all these sudden cravings - to shop, to stroll, to just go away, or at least just to have a Venti Strawberry Frapp from Starbucks! Oh yes! Just a couple of days more and it will be open! I can't wait to take you there!

Coffee though has something to do with your early

antic at the cafe before we left for Nohnong's watch. You saw what I had hoped to hide in a row of used bottles and mugs, the empty can of my canned coffee. I didn't know this until I heard a sipping sound and then your voice saying "kapee". You wouldn't let go of it so I gave you my spare peanut butter sandwich and told you it goes perfectly well toegther. You tried to convince Nahnang that such was so and offered her a bite from the sandwich.

Where we did successfully take you though was NIGHT CAFE, with Mamilou and Nahnang. It's been a while since our visit there last May and the feeling of being squeezed in a crowd of busy bodies, eager to look for a bargain or two, took the feeling of depression for a while. It had a wonderful effect on you too, being locked up in the house for too long. As soon as you saw the rows of shoe displays, you clapped your hands, said "Wow! Shoes!" and looked up at every light you saw, naming them, "Yayt!" You had a great time there, you insisted to walk along side Mamilouand wanted nothing more than one hand to guide you. You had your first ever encounter with fluffy bunnies, got two new pairs of Korean sandals, had dinner at Jollibee for your first taste of Jolli Hotdog. And wherever else, you were posing, dancing, charming everyone. When running was the only other thing you were about to do, we decided to buy you a rubber squid, which upon shaking makes up all the noisome red lights. This was the distraction to pull you into the taxi and then home! Haha! It was an adventure, I tell you!

We went home with all your new stuff and new
DVD titles of "Cats and Dogs: The Revenge of Kitty Galore", "Step Up 3D" and "Toy Story 3". We watched Cats and Dogs, what could be more obvious a title of choice, as soon we got home. Nahnang was all for the dogs while you were for the cats. It's a good thing that the two species were in alliance in the movie. What really made us hyper excited and overjoyed was the guest appearance of Meemeen, the very face of your own stuffed striped orange Calico cat!

Daddy just left for Singapore at 1850Hrs, from there, they will move on to Amsterdam. This is it Kitten! Nine months and then some, just you and me...So what did Nahnang and I talk about to keep me sane and cheered? Nothing much. End of the world, Holocaust, 2012, Hunger Games! As if I don't have enough on my plate, right? Hahah!

JAMantic of the Day:
It would be the "kapee" incident and I need not reiterate that, do I? ;)

Your MAYmah,
