Days of "Strawberry Jam" without "J"
Dear Jam,This is how our day started. Relaxed. Laid-back. We woke up to Daddy's call at nine in the morning. After which, we went through your favorite Touch-and-Feel FARM ANIMALS Book where you placed Crookshanks's white fluffy foot under the hole where the chick's fur is supposed to come out. Other than your fickle speech, you were quite behaved yourself, like the good grown up girl that you are now. At bath time, I let you go ahead of me in the bathroom as I was preoccupied with other things to do. Inside, you were eager to get bathed so you called me "Mommy! Mommy! Shyd! Ut-shyd! Mommy shyd!" and with your hand gesturing me to come in, I easily realized that you meant me to be inside than outside. :D Then when I was fixing you after bath, you enumerated "desh" for dress, "at" for hat and some other things, which words you've already pronounced long before. More of your speech when Mamilou and Nahnang arrived - you said "Yayay sha" when Nahnang hurt herself. Well, she didn't really hurt herself but she pretended to cry for having hit herself somewhere, a pain she can practically bear for all we know. Tuh! I wouldn't wonder where you'd get the whole "drama-rama".
So, yes. Mamilou and Nahnang came by after lunch, brought lechon manok and ice cream to your delight. I left you in their care for a couple of minutes so I can buy the props for the scheduled photoshoot with your Tita Laurice, Tito Geronimo's sister. I have this whole concept of N.Y.M.PHS or Not Your (Ordinary) Mother Photo shoot, where there would be four mothers to portray the four 
elements; Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. Tita Laurice played the Earth Mother. So for her attire, I bought two meters of white "Gina Earth" (what's the spelling, I don't know) cloth, which I tore at and tattered to get the raw and primeval effect. Incorporating that with Tita Laurice's skinny genes, brings out the concept of "Nymphs" in the modern world. Just the idea. I'm so G&G (glad-and-grateful) that Tita Laurice had her game on, she was ready and adventurous, I didn't have problems shooting her. What's so cute is that you were everywhere; you joined her at make-up, asked her to play with you, and then joined her at the set. I would have loved to add you into the frame but I just had to edit you out to keep with the theme. This should lead to the folder that contains my prelimenary editing attempts. This will help me how far I should go in terms of editing and shoot set up for the real photoshoot involving all the elements.http://www.facebook.com/album.php?aid=256347&id=821192206
Despite the tantrums to insist what you want, you were assuaged. You were becalmed by the new wall clock I bought for cheaps at Php50, by the ice cream if that didn't hop you up, by the animation in Tita Laurice's phone and by either Mamilou or Nahnang. Whichever distracted you, I was thankful for awhile.
After the shoot,we went with Mamilou and Nahnang to Kauswagan where I could edit the N.Y.M.PHS photos. We dropped by Limketkai to buy dog food from Handyman, where we were met with the worse weather this month. There was minimal drizzle, it was cloudy, the wind wasn't as threatening but my, was the thunderstorm! All my life, I have never heard a thunderstorm as bad as the one we had today, they were so loud and successive that the car alarms went off every time a thunder roared. Someone form D'Crammerz reported that a house had caught fire in Baloy when hit by a lighting, taking one human life with it. Inside the Mall, the damage to electricity was readily obvious with how the lights went on and off every after 20 seconds. I am just G&G that though as you were wont to quail at thunder and lightning, the drowse that was coying with you helped to divert your attention away from fear.The storm doesn't faze me. You are here with me, with us. You are healthy and though you prove to be quite a brat sometimes, it only goes to show that you are intelligent. That is enough to get me through storms like these. And Daddy's love. I was so filled with it today when we had a call marathon until we hit the sack. He said, he also went through our pictures in Facebook and left some comments there. Ooh! Exciting! :D
JAMantic of the Day:At Kauswagan, where the storm had subsided, we enjoyed playtime with Nahnang, Lolo, Mamilou, the dogs and the rest of the inanimate gang of stuffed animals on Mamilou's bed. You were playing even with - an imaginary lizard? I am not sure if you really saw one for when I turned to you, you were looking at the bottom of the headboard saying "Yayay eezard". Hahah! Poor lizard! Had there been one! Then when we were turning for bed, you were wedged between the bookworms, Nanhnang and I; she was reading Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows to prep before the premier of the movie this coming 19th and I was glued with the intriguing recount of Clotilde Bersona's experience with the Masons and Illuminati. Seeing as our attention wasn't yours, you insisted to read the book that I was holding. Thankfully, there weren't any graphic pictures of the rather horrific autobiography. You went through the pages and mumbled as if you were reading and comprehending any of it. When you were exhausted of the picture-less tome, you shoved it to Nahnang's stuffed frog Herby and said "Err-bee weed!" Hahah!
Your Mommy,
(Because you have started to prefer Mommy over Maymah/Mama and Daddy over Djaydah/Dada)
