A Sagala in August

Last August 24, Gabby joined a sagala here in the new Barangay that we moved into. I just uploaded some of the pictures I have taken that day in my Photobucket account and I thought it would be nice to make a photo essay about it. 

Gabby wasn't smiling at the start of the parade.

 She wanted a very thick makeup and I was against it. I won.

They started the parade together but Kim (the girl who's not my daughter) 

got pulled in front of Gabby by the organizer. It was a very disorganized parade, 

but the kids didn't mind. The parents did.

See why I don't want her to be a very thick makeup? Not good in daylight. 

And this is Jenny, another neighborhood friend of hers.

After the parade, all the girls headed to the church for snacks and more picture taking

Hopefully, she gets to participate in a better sagala next year.  This one was just organized for the neighborhood kids so they'd have  an opportunity to dress up and be little princesses for a day.

When I Was a Lil'L Angel

I was looking at my Friendster account when I saw these pictures of Gabby. I suppose these were taken when she was a year old, but I really don't remember. What I do remember is that all she had colds when these were taken in the studio.

I was teaching her to fly...... I ended up asking just pushing her up....



I never get tired seeing this picture. I remember that the necklace she was wearing was a part of a silver jewelry set that her Ninong Gab gave to her.




She really looks like an Angel on this one. Time indeed do fly fast.. Now she's little devil.

Look at Me!

My daughter's a certified poser. In the most recent dress-up, she had her Tita Monet do her face and me her wardrobe. Looking at the first picture, she decided that the make up was too light and asked her Tita to put some more so that it will reflect in the picture.

This velvet black dress was given to gabby late last year by my lola. The ribbon is a sash for a satin blouse.



The haughty look.




This is actually a not flattering picture. I just liked the way she draped the scarf, which she actually uses as a pony tail or head band.



I bought the skirt for Php 25 and the blazer for 20 bucks.



She hasn't quite perfected this pose. In time she will.

An Ordinary Day

Gabby loves to dress up and model. A day wouldn't pass that she won't be asking me to take her picture. Whether were just in the room bonding together, or at the mall doing some shopping, Gabby's every waking moment is a photo opportunity. Photos below were taken after we went to the mall.

Up close and personal




I love this wall!




What a pose! So cute!





She thought of this pose all by herself. A natural model!





That's my girl pose!

Dressing Up With Gabby

My daughter loves to play dress up. Curtains and blankets become gowns on her, tied together by curtain sashes, belts, and ribbons. After we celebrated her 5th Bday last November 8, she and her cousins took turns wearing the gowns we rented for the party.

We rented this new gown for 600 bucks. Might as well make the most out of it before returning it.

The peticot becomes a gown for these two!

Who would have thought this Tinkerbell costume would ever fit gabby and Jerry? They did fit, without unzipping.
