Hello dear blog friends! I decided to make a photo journal today, because I have tons of photos of my activities and whatnots that I would like to share with you, but don't think I can make long stories of, all the time. So Mom suggested I make photo journals instead with short captions. Maybe by doing this, I can update my blog more often despite my busy schedule.

I know it's been a long while, but are you all ready for the next issue? Well here it is! Okay, it happened one very sunny morning last August when Mom and I went to Landmark and Greenbelt. I felt it took a very long time for us to reach our destination so I took a little nap on the seat, while Mom comforted me and I waited until we were there. And then finally, we hopped off the car excitedly as we first went to Greenbelt!

We looked at the stores, mini shops, the food court, and the rest, then we went to POWERBOOKS! We bought me a notebook to put my recipes in, and a Rotten School book by R.L. Stine. Then we went to some other stores, took a stroll around the mall, and ate at WORLD OF CHICKEN. I ordered grilled chicken with BBQ ranch sauce, fettuccine with white sauce, and mashed potatoes with gravy, while Mom ordered grilled chicken with teriyaki sauce and macaroni salad. We ate heartily and the expression on our faces are incredible!!! I loved my food and it's now officially one of my favorite restaurants. I also discovered that it was Mom and Dad's favorite restaurant too in Glorietta 4.

My World of Chicken Plate: Grilled Chicken with Ranch Barbecue sauce 

+ Fettuccine + Mashed Potato with gravy = HEAVEN!!!

After our lunch, we went to Landmark. Then I saw things that I wanted, am addicted, and are my favorites: FOOD ERASERS!!! There were so many erasers but I finally picked two packs for me and one pack each for my cousins, Raffaello and Gia. We also looked at some stuff like bags, dresses, shoes, and mom bought me a cute, organizer for my make-up kit. We passed over some more food erasers which I do not have and I pleaded mom to buy me some, but she said to me that it was enough.

We went to Powerbooks again, but this time, the one in Glorietta where I was able to read some books. There I spotted a shiny, silver old style alarm clock that I wanted for so long, which Mom bought along with some more books for me. She bought a lot of books too on sale which some are for gifts, and some for her collection. After that, we each had a huge McDonalds vanilla ice cream cone before we finally went home.

What an exciting day!!! I finally went to bed and smiled to myself and recalled the memory of our fulfilling trip. Below are some of the photos of that special day. Thanks for reading my adventure, dear blog followers!!! I LOVE YOU ALL!!!

Accessories: Bracelet with strings of colorful wooden beads, Pink stone vintage ring, Blue star headband  

  

My first meal at World of Chicken and I fell in love with it!

Isn't this the biggest limited edition Swatch ever, or what? Of course, 

Mom insisted I pose beside the giant Ninoy and Cory watch  :)

Photo Frame Model Me

When Mom and I went with my grandparents for their check up at a mall clinic sometime in August last year, Mom saw this:

Yes, that's 5 photos of ME (except for the baby in the middle)! So Mom, who brings the camera all the time, took this shot as a remembrance of my stint as a photo frame model:

Feeling celebrity :)

I had my photos taken a month before in this studio. We didn't know they printed extra to use for their frames. Mom even joked they should pay me for this. Hahaha. The frame was already sold the last time we checked. :)

I Love Wantame (The New Game in Town)!

Wantame ~ The new game in town!

Last week, when Mom and I went to play in my favorite Power Station in Power Plant Mall, I was sad to see only 2 Love and Berry game machines and they were already occupied with a long line of girls waiting for their turn. They used to have 7 of them, that's why I was really surprised to see the rest of the stations unplugged and kept in one corner. I thought maybe they ran out of cards, which happens most of the time. So we went around to check out other games, when I discovered something new-- WANTAME!

Wantame game (Won! Tertainment Music Channel developed by Capcom) is pretty much like the Love and Berry Dress Up and Dance game, but they have kitties and other animals ready for dressing up, singing, dancing and even cooking! It's an interactive screen touch game, where players need to touch the screen directly by finger for selecting icons, rhythm games, miracle chances and other fun activities.

The machine gives out the following cards: Kitten Cards, Miracle Power Cards (all 5 types), Fashion Cards: Clothes (all 32 types), Fashion Cards: Accessories (all 24 types) that can be used for different settings, themes and backgrounds. By the way, the cards are a little smaller than the Love and Berry cards. Maybe I need a new album for this?

This is what I played and I lost! Hahaha!

It's a lot of fun to play! But the thing is, the game doesn't have English instructions so I had to guess what to do next. Words are ALL in Japanese characters. Ughhh. =( Anyways, do check it out and try playing this new kind of screen touch rhythm game and tell me what you think!

Happy Mother's Day!

In Red

Happy Mother's Day to my Mom and all the wonderful mothers in the world! I hope you all have a great day with your families. Today is Mom's birthday too! Happy birthday, Mom! I love you!!!

P.S. Wonder why our photo is red? I accidentally placed my hand on the flash and that's what we got! Cool, huh? :)

I Got LOVE!

Want some LoVe?

Remember how excited I was about the arcade game Love and Berry but don't have a trading card album? Well my super Mom was able to find an album for my collection last year which was really great, because it's not that expensive! We put my personalized Love and Berry photo at the front, see? And what makes it even more exciting is that my godmother Auntie Gayle, gave me "Love". Yes, that small pink doll is Love who came all the way from Japan! (I wonder when Berry is coming over to follow, Auntie Gayle?)

My album and Love

Mom took lots of pictures of me as always, while playing my favorite game and took shots of my cards too. She put them all in one photo. I have gowns, shoes, hairstyles and other beautiful dresses!

Me and my collection

After my final exams we're going back here! I still have to study hard to get high grades in school, but I'm already excited to collect more cards when vacation comes. Before I go, let me show you Love, Berry and Chestene's pose! So cool!!!

Do you Love and Berry too? :)

In pink and yellow!

My Idea of a Fun Day

Another Fun Day

I always treasure my fun days with Mom. It's like having a whole new adventure every time, even if we're going to the same old places. There will always be something new and exciting!

These photos were taken at a mall we went to after our Family Fun Day in school. Come take a peek!

Don't you think this pink shawl is lovely?

After a little shopping, I needed to get some food!
So off to the hotdog stand we went.
Oops! Sorry, Mom forgot to take photos of the pizza after this one.


Yumm! I also had to get some strawberry-filled egg puffs
for my hungry tummy!

Time to take it down with my favorite mix of
Mango and Kiwi fruit shake at Juice Avenue!


Now, I can finally enjoy my most valued purchase of the day -
a silver ring with white sparkling gem for less than $0.50 cents!

Dear Diary...

Nov. 2, 2008

*Pretending to be like my Diary (to be transferred tomorrow in my real diary)

Dear Diary,

I had a fun day today. But I watched TV first then I took a bath, then I dressed up. My mom has the best clothes for me then I dressed up like this (drawing here) skirt (arrow) blouse (arrow) sandals (arrow). Then I officially accepted these clothes. They were very beautiful. I so much loved these clothes. Then after I and mom are ready we went to church. And after church we went to GREENWICH my favorite place ever where my favorite pizza smoked bacon (is) um yummy. Then after a minute we went home. We had a fantastic day ever.

Love,

Chestene Ysadel

Loving Love and Berry

Do you know Love and Berry? It's my all time favorite game!

It's a super cool dress-up game wherein for every game, the Love and Berry machine will give you a fashion card so you can create outfits to mix, match and collect for Love or Berry. Once you've chosen your level and show, you have to tap the buttons while Love and Berry sing and dance to the music. Be sure to tap to the beat or you will lose points!

I already collected 24 cards but Mommy can't find a trading card album for it, so she bought a small transparent album to be my Love and Berry album in the meantime.

What's cool is that she made me a personalized front cover for it and another one with song lyrics of the game! I love it!

Love, Berry and Me!

So here's how my album looks like now. Not bad, huh?


Do you play Love and Berry? How many cards did you collect? I'd love to know!

My Idea of a Fun Day

When Mommy says, "Tomorrow, we're going to have a fun day!" I'm always very excited because I know we're going to my favorite mall and do fun stuff.

This usually happens when I have an exam coming up, after my exam week, or any day that Mommy is in a good mood and feels like I deserve a treat.

So what is our typical fun day? Let me show you...

She lets me play games and have some rides...

We go around the mall and check out some neat stuff like this one. She said I'll take this art class next summer!

We go for some pizza and pasta lovin' at my favorite pizza restaurant, Sbarro...

We do a little shopping! I wanted to buy this but she won't let me. I wonder why? It fits me so well!

We also do other stuff like watch movies, eat ice cream and buy my favorite magazines. I'll post more pictures next time. I always have loads of fun! I wish we get to do this everyday!

So what's your fun day like?
