the year in review

happy christmas

happy christmas!

océane opened this first gift which is from my cousin jojo and her family. her first time to have a light blue jacket and told us that it is her new favorite colour. she's so happy with her new princess jacket plus with many hair-clips and other pretty hair accessories. there are two purple ribbons for hair that she said she will not use on her hair because she prefer to use them as her bracelet. merci, tata jojo & tonton jerome!

desperas ng pasko

oh yes, today is "desperas ng pasko". we went for a walk... bought a new boots for me and dvd to watch tonight and until tomorrow not unless we'll do the marathon:-) then just a look at disney store to satisfy océane's eyes. she said that we only go to stores for parents and we should try to go to store for children:-)

anyway, we went back home with a very famished girl. the first time she tried the royale cheese or better known as quarter-pounder with cheese. she's so happy and told me that now she prefer that than the happey meal with cheeseburger. hahahaha bernard suggested that next time.. it will be one royale cheese and happy meal with nuggets for océane. when i thought that she was full from royale cheese, i was wrong... she asked for creme dessert. a real good appetite for a 6 year old.

it is a cold thursday and i'm having a headache. i can't even finish today's prompt with shimelle. i can't think or even if i try... just comes out empty for today's journal. heck, i hardly updated this blog. hahaha

journal your christmas 2007 - countdown

day 05


it is about the christmas countdown. i did something about the advent calendar. posted a picture of océane's starbucks advent calendar.

back in the philippines, we don't have the advent calendar. actually, i only discovered about it when i moved in here in paris. in the philippines, the catholics have the "misa de gallo" which starts on the 16th of december until december 25. thus, this advent calendar is something new and we make sure that year after year, we have one for océane.
