Thank Yous

Keanna was given the chance to be part of KIDSTIME Magazine's maiden issue. It may not yet be out in the market but we're all excited about it. We all know that she was a little sick that day of the photoshoot but she was professional enough to show up and followed the instructions given to their batch. It was indeed a successful shoot and their batch finished in no time. Now, KIDSTIME have just uploaded a video composed of pictures of their young talents and Keanna is so happy to see her face in it! Haha! Talk about "child at heart"! She was as excited as Mommy and Mama (Lola). Here's her photo that got included in the video (c/o Camera Shake's photographer)...

To watch the full video, you can visit the multiply site of KIDSTIME. Enjoy watching and congrats to all our friends too.

We would like to thank KIDSTIME of course for allowing our daughter Keanna to be part of their upcoming issue, maiden issue to be exact. It is our pleasure to see that she has been included in the roster of cute kids and talents. Keep it up guys! Good luck !

We're hoping for more opportunities like this to come. Keanna is all better now and that's another blessing we'd like to be thankful for. We are sending our Thank Yous up above. HE indeed is great!

KEANNA is ALL OK now

I felt relief, whew! I'll be so confused and will definitely blame myself if she's still not better. She had the strange "sinat" last Friday and was even asked by her Teacher to go home instead but she declined. Then she was okay until Saturday dawn. Then, since it was the photoshoot day, I talked to her. A stagemom and a frustrated model myself, I am honestly excited for my daughter. I'd love to drag her and attend the photoshoot. But, it isn't me, and she's not in the pinkest of health. We had a talk. I explained to her the pros and cons. I saw how she has anticipated this day. I've seen the eagerness in her to feel better and show up at the Camera Shake studio. She finally decided to go for the shoot but of course since there's this "sinat", medicine was given. Off to the shoot we go and she was a little less hyper than the kids there but she did good.



In fact, their batch was done in less than 20 mins if I'm not mistaken. I'm proud of my daughter's accomplishment and so gave in to her request.



She had the train and another ride on solo!



I was to bring her to her Pedia after the shoot but...toinks! "Mommy, it's a Saturday today!" OMG! We fetched her cousin Kate after the shoot. Sunday wad Banky's party, the two girls had been anticipating this event too. It was so sweet of Ate Kate to have prayed for Keanna's fast recovery. We've met Mommy Vanj and Sam in front of the church and headed to Shakey's in T.Morato Ave. The kids had a real blast. Keanna politely joined the first few games but stayed beside me for the rest of the party. She smiled, laughed and giggled and played for few minutes then rested again beside Mommy.



We're off to her Pedia after the party then to my OB, in the same clinic. She was given antibiotics and Salbutamol instead of Carboceistine. Her cough is more on asthma since there's no phlegm. No phlegm means hard coughing. And she was feeling the chest pain. It was hard to see her in a state like that. Monday, she asked me to send and fetch her from school. I agreed but her temp got high and I decided to let her skip class since there's not much to do. A mass was held that day and the regular review classes for this week's Unit Test. We reviewed at home instead. I am glad that even if she was not feeling well, she was still very cooperative. Tuesday was a little hard. I have a commitment to attend to and Mama is not feeling well. Keanna still has slight fever but she eats, she talks, she even sang a Backyardigan song. I decided to tag her along then headed to her Pedia again. It was explained to me that since we only started the antibiotics Sunday night, it will only show its effect Wednesday morning at least. I have to monitor her BT and make sure that the medicines are given in the right dose and at the right time. I was absent, asked for an emergency leave. That cost me 1 VL credit but it is alright, just as long as I am sure that Keanna will get well and that I am close by her side. I am thankful that this early morning (3am), there's no more fever. Coughing is no longer that hard. I was only able to sleep 330am and woke up again at 6am. I still had her skip school, 3rd day it is. She missed 2 days of Unit Test now. A special test will be given, of course. Who knows, she might be able to take all four tests she skipped Tues and Wed.



Tomorrow will be another day and I am glad that she's already jolly right this minute. Thank GOD for making her feel all better. Recovery from weight loss will be a little hard, I know but we'll deal with that...together.

Keanna made Mommy cry

I've been seeing this commercial for a while and I am very pleased with it. I love the music and the lovely kids as well.

It was my off, I was in front of the computer yet the TV was on for Keanna's PDA kids when this TVC aired. I stopped (stoned, honestly) and was shocked when I heard Keanna singing it. She knows the lyrics! She perfected the lyrics on this one, to my surprise! She faced me afterwards and again sang. She said: "this is for you Mommy"



I am so stressed with a LOT of things but this video, Keanna's song and her kiss (after singing it) made my day so special, pawi lahat ng stress..

Keanna =stresstabs

She made me cry...

And in return, since I know she loves to sing..I looked for her new fave "Big Girls Don't cry" and for this video too.

I love you anak...kisses from me.

Mommy
