happy third birthday, Lucy!






Dear Lucy,
I love taking your pictures. You are like wonderman. Hands-on-the-hips pose is a must for you! You are also the master of looking away from the camera. Could you please teach me how to do it naturally?

Funny how these pictures here have your hair up. Because 97.23489345% of the time you have your hair down and in front of your face. Not that your dada and I are not fixing your hair. But because you like taking off the hair ties. We lose a hair tie a day. Where do you put them? In the trash can? Underneath couch cushions? Those things are not free, sweetheart.

You still love carrying your pillow for comfort. It all started back in the Philippines last year. It has to be that Hello Kitty pillow as well!  This letter reminds me to throw it in the wash asap. It is quite... filthy and stinky.

The things I love about you~
You are so spunky! You make sure you are heard.
The way you call  me "mom". It gives me chills because it's like a teen-you is calling me.
You wait until everybody is asleep and then you hang out with me late in the night. It's just you and me in a quiet house.


Here are my requests this year:
Let's be a team and work on this potty-training thing. Are you on-board?
If you do shift your sleeping times and not wake up at 9a, then I will be able to sign you up for preschool. Won't that be fun? I see you playing with other children your age at church gatherings. You enjoy it. I am not rushing you at all though. You will be in school soon enough. I am just enjoying slow mornings with you when your older sibs are in school.
Just keep being you! I love your hugs, kisses and giggles!

Praying for a wonderful year for you. Happy third birthday!

Love,
Mom

seven quick takes




// silver d'orsay pumps below //








I am linking up with Kelly for seven quick takes.

1. recap of our week
Baseball is over. Lil D had his last game Monday.   They were down 0-9 but only lost 11-12. I am sad I was not there to cheer him on. The other three had swim lessons and we already missed one  class a week before because of baseball.


2. Lucy is getting more and more comfortable with the  water. She still won't float on her back or relax fully but at least she does not cry and fuss about getting in the pool. Baby steps... we are slowly getting there.

The other three are loving the water. Lucas wants to jump in the water with his sibs. We did not sign him up since a parent has to be in the water with the babies.


3. I wore this outfit for a photo shoot for work. My theories for getting selected:
- I am a female physician.
- I am Asian.
- I am short.
I have to represent the minority.

Black and blue are power colors. I love pink but I chose not to wear pink.  Instead I went with my second favorite color - Colts blue.

I did not wear these heels for the photo shoot! I went with my trusty Mary Jane clogs. They gave me height but they are more "believable" for a female physician. Although I have been known to  wear heels in clinic.

ten bags i've sold and why

1. Chanel small double flap bag



What I loved about this bag~
It is a pre-2008 Chanel bag which means the  chain is 24K gold-plated.

Why I sold it~
It was tiny. The small flap bag is tiny to begin with then the double flap made it even harder to close when I filled it to its capacity.
It is lambskin. When I sold it, I was still unsure about lambskin. I was so afraid to use it because I might scratch it even more.

Will I buy it again~
Probably not. The size is too small for me.


2. Celine mini luggage




What I loved about this bag~
It's Celine! It is structured. I love the suede interior.


Why I sold it~
I got this preloved so I was not the first owner. There were no stains or marks but the leather already softened. The bag lost its structure that I really like. When placed down, the bag slouches. 
It is heavy! I do not have anything inside and the bag already weighs at least 3 lbs.

Will I buy it again~
Yes! In fact, that's why I sold this red one to put the money to a "newer" preloved Celine luggage. I got this one and the structure is intact!


3. Louis Vuitton Brea in epi leather



What I loved about this bag~
It was my first epi leather from Louis Vuitton.
It is a doctor bag inspired silhouette.


Why I sold it~
I found myself not reaching for it as much as my other bags. I kept it for about a year since I had the idea of selling it. When the idea won't go away and I found other bags on my wishlist, I finally sold it.  So it's just really a preference. There's nothing wrong with the bag. It's functional - both hand carry and shoulder bag option.

Will I buy it again~
Probably not.

get ready to wear your stars and stripes


These are the items I got for the family! Can't beat the $5 tee-shirt price and flip flops for less than $5. We will be showcasing these items way, way before 4th of July.  Stay tuned for a cheesy, matchy-matchy family photo soon.
