Cut-Out/Balloon Surprise

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2007-01-11T15:35:52Z

Roan got up extra early to prepare a surprise for me -- a simple but touching display of love in the form of cut-outs and a balloon which he pasted on his bedroom wall.

New Guestbook

Got tired of all the spam in our Guestbook section, so I wiped out the old database and started from scratch.

This version's got more security than the old one to prevent those nasty little spam bots from posting.

Knock yourself out, leave your footprints behind in our Guestbook.

Subways

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2007-01-02T15:00:38Z

Being in New York again, I felt its resounding vibrancy and freedom. The beauty of it being a true melting pot of the world, and the ability to just go wherever and whenever your feet (and subways) will take you.

Lyle: "When will the train get here? When? When? When?"

New York's subway system gives anyone the freedom to get from point A to B to C, and back and around again very quickly and economically, without the hassle of traffic or trying to find parking. New Yorkers use the subways to go to work, visit friends and relatives, go to movies, restaurants, malls -- anything, anyplace you can think of.

"Papa Lolo, you mean I can't jump off this platform?"

Lyle loved the subway system, riding in a train underground, and even underwater (beneath the Hudson river from Queens to Manhattan).

"I love these trains!"

Dunkin Donuts

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2007-01-02T14:46:06Z

Having grown up in the East Coast, I sorely miss the familiar Dunkin Donuts sign when I moved out West. When Lyle & I hit the streets of New York, I was thrilled that my little man enjoyed the place as much as I did as a kid. He kept saying he wanted Dunkin Donuts - for breakfast, lunch, dinner.

Here's a shot of Lyle having his first NY breakfast at Dunkin Donuts:

"I'm grumpy without Dunkin Donuts!"

"Ahh, yes I can smile now that I've had a bite of this yummy strawerry-frosted donut"

Queens, New York Condo

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2006-12-30T21:05:35Z

My dad bought a condominium in the Elmhurst, Queens, New York area which I thought was just lovely. It's in a very prime location, just behind St. John's hospital, near the Queens mall, close to everything, and near the Woodhaven & Grand Avenue train stops. Close to half a million worth of real estate.

between the living room and the computer area

It's a spacious place, spacious New York-wise anyway, about 1600 square feet, 3 bedroom, 2 bath, with a shared basement with the 3 other condos in his building, and even enclosed garage (and for New Yorkers, this is really a godsend since parking is quite difficult to find). Papa is on the management board of his condo association, which is quite an honor.

"Butt Buddies" pose in front of the Christmas Tree

He had a nicely-decorated tall, slender Christmas tree in the living room, which Lyle was excited about. "I hope it fits Santa's presents," Lyle said, as he gave a butt swing while I took a picture of him in front of the Christmas tree.

Can we take this TV home?

Papa's New York condo had a very modern feel to it. He spent a quite a bit for the renovation to make it look as awesome as it does now. Hardwood floors (they tore out the carpet). Black, leather couches. Dark mahogony wood. Abstract art. Steel appliances. Big screen TV. Cool wine rack. Lush, vibrant plants everywhere. Very trendy.

Aunt Juliet

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2006-12-30T20:54:42Z

My aunt Juliet will be flying in from New York tomorrow morning to greet the New year with us. Aunt Juliet is my mom's elder sister and works at the Merill Lynch, NYC. She is a respected and very active member of the Filipino-American community in New York. Below is a photo of myself, Lyle, and Aunt Juliet clowning around in her Queens apartment when Lyle & I were in New York.

Aunt Juliet took care of me when I was younger and became like a second mother to me. Even now that I'm all grown up, she still putters around me like a true mother, and has become one of my very good friends. Lyle thinks she's cool and calls her "Aunt Lola", being that she's his grand-aunt. You'd never know though because my aunt is still very much "hip" and in touch with the younger generation.

Lyle's Christmas Party 2006

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2006-12-29T13:24:32Z

Lyle's class had a pajama party as their Christmas celebration last December 15, the last day of class before Winter break. They were treated to a movie (The Polar Express) with hot cocoa and buttered popcorn (they even had their own popcorn making machine!).

He was super-excited and surprised to see me, as I told him I wasn't sure if I could make it to his party as a visitor/volunteer because I had stuff to finish up at work. Imagine his big grin and excited jumps when he saw me come just in time!

How Can I Tell You

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2006-12-19T10:33:43Z

That Kay's commercial on TV, now I can't get the song out of my head. Originally composed by Cat Stevens, it's been sung by various artists, but the one on the commercial was by "Cat Power".

This is a beautiful song, one that I can relate to, because oftentimes and most especially with people I love, I can't always find the right words to say to tell them that I love them, and miss them. Dearly.

Commercial Sound Clip (Press Play to Hear It):

HOW CAN I TELL YOU

How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
But I cant think of right words to say
I long to tell you that Im always thinking of you
Im always thinking of you, but my words
Just blow away, just blow away
It always ends up to one thing, honey
And I cant think of right words to say
Wherever I am girl, Im always walking with you
Im always walking with you, but I look and youre not there
Whoever Im with, Im always, always talking to you
Im always talking to you, and Im sad that
You cant hear, sad that you cant hear
It always ends up to one thing, honey,
When I look and you're not there
I need to know you, need to feel my arms around you
Feel my arms around you, like a sea around a shore
And -- each night and day I pray, in hope
That I might find you, in hope that I might
Find you, because hearts can do no more
It always ends up to one thing honey, still I kneel upon the floor
How can I tell you that I love you, I love you
But I cant think of right words to say
I long to tell you that Im always thinking of you
Im always thinking of you....
It always ends up to one thing honey
And I cant think of right words to say

New York, Baby

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2006-12-16T23:50:31Z

Lyle and I will be in New York Dec 21-26, and I've been searching the Net for places for him to see/visit while we're there. So far, I came up with:

1. American Museum of Natural History
2. Bronx Zoo/Wildlife Conservation Park
3. Radio City Music Hall "The Christmas Spectacular"
4. Sony Wonder Technology Lab
5. The Brooklyn Children's Museum
6. Metropolitan Museum of Art

He's been to New York twice before since he was born, but he was less than 3 years old then. I think now's a good age for him to go places and gain lots of rich, learning experience.

His touring buddy will most likely be his grandfather, my dad, since I'd like to spend time with my grandmother.

The Citizenship Award

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2006-12-15T14:15:21Z

Lyle was presented the Citizenship Award once again this year at his school's morning assembly. It's Pajama Day at school, so he looked adorable -- oh sorry, he told me not to use this word -- I meant, cool. He looked cool in his Disney jammies when he went up to receive his award.

I received the letter last week from the school's principal:

"Dear Parent,

We are pleased to announce that your child Lyle will be recognized for outstanding achievement earned in citizenship and work habits during the month. We invite you to a special Citizenship Assembly on Friday at approximately 8:55 on the back playground.

Your child will be presented with a special certificate.

Congratulations to your child for achieving a high standard of performance. We hope you can join us for your child's award presentation."

YOUR LOVE......

mr.cornbip@yahoo.com (RoaN Sia) — 2006-12-14T09:59:22Z

MAH,

i am all alone without you(from the song YOUR LOVE)....as i'm

listening to the music video that you made, tears unexplainably rolls

down from my eyes. as soon as the "intro" crashes the sound of silence i

can't hardly explain the feelings. i can feel every single strand of my hair

rising....indeed your "the one that never let me sleep, to my mind down

to my soul you touch my lips, your the one that i can't wait to see" so

many frustrations, all my life until this very end it keeps haunting me

down. "ang hirap we're in the 3rd year of this wonderful relationship but

yet it's been bordered with unending miles of seas and towering

mountains....how i wish you are here by my side so i'm in ecstasy, but I

AM ALL ALONE WITH OUT YOU. ang dami sa atin may mga kahilingan

tuwing sasapit ang pasko, merong gusto ng bagong cellphone, damit at

sapatos. ni hindi pumasok sa isipan ko ang mga bagay na yan dahil ikaw

lang sapat na sa araw ng pasko, boung akala ko tulad ng nakaraang

taon muli kung mahahagkan mga kamay mo.....doesnt matter mah sapat

na yung malaman ko at madama ko na kahit anong layo mo eh nandiyan

ako sa puso mo, YOUR LOVE IS LIKE A SUN THAT LIGHTS UP MY WHOLE

WORLD. sorry kung nagkakaroon tayo ng away at tampuhan, i know in a

way nahihirapan ka din. but i promise you as long as na nararamdaman

ko yung pagmamahal mo, i won't leave you no matter what. i know

somehow someway the sun will shine on us.......i love you mahal.

Lyle Receives First Place Ribbon In Chess Tournament

webmistress@cornbip.com (SuGaR) — 2006-12-14T00:47:42Z

Lyle's Schoolhouse Chess Club held its tournament last Friday, December 8, 2006. This little First Grader received a First Place ribbon, a chess comic book, and a magnetic chess set. I'm not sure who was more proud, Lyle of himself, or me, teary-eyed mom.
