An open letter to my DAD for Father's Day

Dear Dad,

I want you to know that you've been such a blessing in my life. I believe in my heart of hearts that I am who I am because I've got half of you and half of mom and for that I'd like to thank you. Everyone who knows you says you're such a great person, but what they know is just the tip of the iceberg of what i know about you. I know that you love mom so well, your humor is endearing, you take pride in whatever you do, your faith is unwavering and your love for family is ever so sincere.

It's because of you dad, that I've always had an optimistic perspective in life because you have given kuya and I all that we ever need and want in life. I want to give you (and mom) credit, not just because it's your day, but because I can proudly say that kuya and I grew up to have happy hearts and good heads on our shoulders. Because of all these things, said and unsaid, I just want to say THANK YOU DAD and HAPPY FATHER'S DAY! I love you <3

Always your daughter,

Lady

Shoe-in, Baby!

I've always known that when I have a baby of my own, her shoe collection would rock, well, as of this writing, I can't say I'm not giving our little sweet pea a great head start --- or should I say, footstart. Haha. :) I know they say that babies feet grow super fast, so I bought sizes that could be used until 12 months. Hopefully our baby would share mommy's penchant for pretty shoes someday. Thanks to Brusselsprouts (http://www.brusselsprouts.multiply.com/) and Bebe Republic (http://www.beberepublic.multiply.com/) for baby's mini shoe collection.

But there's actually a bit of a history behind my love for shoes, you see I've always remembered having different pairs of shoes for every school day back when I was in nursery - my shoes always matched my uniform (which was a pajama style uniform that came in 5 different colors) because my mom loved buying me stuff. But more than just buying me lots of shoes, this is just one of the many mini stories in my life that show how my parents always made sure I had the best in life. So, thanks mom and dad. :) Will try our very best to give our baby what you've always given us - just the very best. :)
