Hello?

Before I punched out of the office and I headed for the grocery, I rang home using my teammate's phone access to ask m niece what she wants from the store. My office line was not working the whole day.

My  niece picked up the line at home and said "hello?", then I said, Hello sweet!, she said Hello? so I said Hello? We kept the cycle for about 30 seconds then she passed the phone to Manang. I asked Manang if I could talk again to my niece, then she passed back the phone to her. this is when I asked, why did you pass the phone? She said, well you just keep on saying hello!

Hahaha. I thought she was not hearing me, it turned out that she was just pissed that I was not saying anything apart from hello. My bad, i thought the line was bad that she cannot hear me.

My Little Princess and her fashion emergency

I am ecstatic.

My niece won the first prize in Best in Costume category in ther pre-school's Linggo ng Wika (I don't know how to translate it in English but literally it Language Week - Oh crap, don't shoot me for murdering the transalation!)

Anyhoo, it was a short notice (again) from my sister (love yah sis). Since my niece is kinda big for her age (she's six btw), I asked my petit officemate who rocked a Filipiniana costume in the office a few years ago, if she could lend me the costume. She said  she only got the top.

So I went bargain hunting and my feet brought me to this ukay-ukay (hand-me-down shop) in Cubao. I found a skirt that I think could pass for a native costume.

I whipped out the stylist in me and voila! I was able to  make my niece rock a Filipiniana ensemble with a twist.

I am yet to post some proof.

Haha!
