SADAKO IS NOW INTERESTED IN SHOPPING FOR CLOTHES

-

Most kids don’t care about clothes and fashion – kids only care about toys, right? – but there are those (girls in particular) who do display an interest in clothes and fashion and shopping and dressing up at a young age.

Sadako is kind of like that. She was a big fan of Beyonce and Lady Gaga and Erykah Badu when she was younger so she loved dressing up like them whenever she’d copy their performances.

But that was it.

Lately, however, she’s started to show a lot of interest in clothes – you know , like dresses.


It all started when she visited H&M for the first time and I bought her some dresses. How could I not when they’re so affordable yet so pretty? They have a lot of gorgeous pieces but my favorite is a line of sleeveless printed dresses worth P350 each. I bought Sadako a couple and showed her the girls modelling the same dresses in the H&M website. That led her to asking for an impromptu photo shoot so she could compare her photos and poses with those of the girls.’

She loved the two dresses so much that she wanted to wear them all the time. Before long, we needed to buy her some more new dresses.

In a recent trip to the mall, she instantly directed us to go the H&M since it’s near the entrance. She also knew how to get to the Kids department, in fairness. It was fun to see her check out stuff and look at herself in the mirror. I also enjoyed how decisive she was when it came to choosing dresses she wanted.


For the ultimate shopping experience, I gave her the huge shopping bag, but that proved to be tricky. It was huge and Sadako got the impression that she could get anything she wanted and that she needed to fill the big bag up with stuff!


It was so cute seeing Sadako lining up to pay for her dresses, handing out the bills at the counter, and getting her shopping bag after.


My little girl is growing up so fast!

TOMS OPENS FLAGSHIP STORE IN SM MEGAMALL’S MEGA FASHION HALL

Congratulations to shoe brand TOMS, which now has their flagship store at the Mega Fashion Hall of SM Megamall! I have to admit I’ve never owned a pair of TOMS so when I got to the store, I took my time and looked at EVERYTHING, from the men’s shoes to the even the women’s, plus those for kids, too. Now this has got to be my favorite and I have already promised my feet that I shall buy a beautiful polk-a-dotted pair once I get my 13 th month pay. Lakas maka-hot dad, noh? This looks pretty cool, too. Not-your-usual, but not too in-your-face. This blue-and-white striped one is also something I would go for, although I’d love to use a pair for summer just so I can go for a nautical look. Imagine a crisp white tee, a navy pair of shorts, and these. Perfect. Before I headed out, I was able to score a pair of this Chocolate Canvas under Original Classics. I am in love with these basic ones I want a pair in all colors! For moms out there, there i

I AUDITIONED FOR SMOKEY MOUNTAIN

I loved singing and performing for relatives and guests at home when I was young. One time, when I was about four years old, my mother asked me to sing Tomorrow for our relatives who were visiting. I instantly burst into song. However, after singing the first line with so much passion, I decided to stop and asked to be excused. I went inside my room, did a proper entrance, and then whipped out my milk bottle, which I used as a microphone. I sang “The sun will come out tomorrow” again and finished the song. No doubt about it: even when I was just a kid, I already knew I wanted to sing and perform for others. Fast forward to my high school years. One day, I read in the papers that Ryan Cayabyab was forming an all-male version of Smokey Mountain. Of course, I just had to try out. I didn’t tell my parents about it. My friends and I decided to try our luck. For those who have no idea what I’m talking about, Smokey Mountain was a vocal group composed

MY 3-YEAR-OLD IS ALREADY WEARING A BRA

And it’s Beyonce’s fault. See, Sadako has a thing for playing dress-up. She asks for a bandana or a scarf or any piece of cloth to be wrapped around her head whenever she wants to sing along to her favorite Erykah Badu song, “Bag Lady.” She makes sure she’s wearing her kitten heels whenever she performs Tamar Braxton’s “Love and War.” She grabs this piece of white piece of lacy fabric and puts it around her shoulders whenever she’s copying Christina Aguilera in her American Music Awards performance, where she sang a medley of tracks from her “Lotus” album, starting with “Lotus (Intro).” So going back to Beyonce, my little one discovered the talented star just recently when I popped in a DVD copy of her 2006 concert. It didn’t take long for Sadako to copy the star’s birits, moves, and get-ups. So one night I get home and see my three-year old daughter wearing her mother’s bra.  This morning, I woke up to Sadako singing along to Beyonce’s “Green
