Polka Tots Fashion Show @ Glorietta

Children's Ave models Polka Tots Clothes

Here are some of the pics from the Polka Tots Fashion Show held @ Glorietta Activity center last Oct. 31 @ 4:00pm. Everything went off smoothly and the kids same as the stagemoms and parents enjoyed and really had fun. The kids just have a quick practice just right before the show because mommy april was still rushing to finish the boy's clothes. The girls clothes are really gorgeous and the girls really love to wear them...very comfortable and ayaw na ngang hubarin ng iba yung clothes after the show...hehe!

was about to start

I just had some minor problem with the pics. The fashion show shots, as in the actual show on stage was a bit overexposed!...waaaah!...as in the brightness was ultra bright and all the stage pic were almost white in color! I forgot to adjust the setting of the cam to automatic mode rather than manual mode before giving it to my sister in law....waaaah!...my fault! Good thing that photoshop was able to fix it's colors.

of course a pic of my little model with her trademark pose..hehe

KidsTime Magazine Launch

The launch of KT yesterday was a success! Sam & I were able to join the celebration along with mommy Stef and kids...again!..haha and really had a great time. The venue was a bit small for the invited guests. Maybe because the the 1adult=1child policy was not push through at all. Thanks so much Mommy Mel for allotting us a place to seat. Anyways, the venue was fully decorated with colorful balloons, hanging flowers ang butterflies cookies, choco fountain, yummy kiddy food carts and beautiful centerpiece cakes! Sam can't get enough of looking @ the place...busog na busog ang mga mata ika nga!..hehe They really exerted an effort to make it like a wonderland as what they promised. Not to mention great food...as in food carts pa lang busog ka na. And most of all the place was flooded with cakes!...as in the edible one and not for deco purposes only. Sobra dami, ikaw ang mauumay!..lol

Sam with Banky, Keanna & ate Jhaz

I saw some familiar faces from showbizness and media who joined the celebration. It's nice to see again some of our very friendly online mommies there. You know who you are... di ko na mention, dami nyo eh..hehe! So sad nga lang because less photo ops and group pics for us...my cam suddenly got low in battery!...waaah! Anyways, the kids where the one who really enjoyed the celebration, which is my main purpose why I decided to attend anyway. I only wanted Sam to enjoy these kind of kiddie events. And thanks to Stef for joining us because she almost decided not to attend talaga. :p Sam really like the puppet and magic shows. They were also giving away very nice prizes for those who participated in the games. A raffle draw which I won a 2 GC from Jungle Joe. They also gave cellphones who can answer some trivia questions. The magazines were already distributed and they sell extra copies for those who wanted to purchase more. Hays, It's really a tiring but exciting and fun day for all of us especially for the kiddie models of KT and members of CA.

Congratulations MZ and DC for a very succesful launch! And thanks so much for the opportunity. God Bless and More Power! :p

Kids Time Magazine Cover

Santa Baby?

Just want to share these cute pics of Sam. Actually, it's just an experimental shots. I was just trying some of my satin curtains to use as backdrop sana then get some shots if it will look ok. All of a sudden, Sam thought that we'll going to have a shoot again. She immediately grab her santa headband...thinking that it's a christmas shoot maybe because of the red backdrop...then stood in front of me...btw, I still don't have the cam that time yet... then mega pose na sya...haha! She's really waiting for me to get the cam because she's really not moving and posing still...lol! I don't want naman to spoil her mood and she really looked pretty in her pose kaya I took some shots na din. Too bad because I wasn't able to get a good setting kaya yan..medyo blurry. Just wearing her usual pambahay...i didn't noticed that her pants was baligtad pala!..as you can see, nakalabas pa yung tag!..ayayay!...hahaha :p

my fave shot

Trinoma Snaps

This was the last time we went to attend a friend's birthday party. After Banky's party , we headed to Trinoma with mommy Stef together with the kids. I need to buy something for Sam and Stef will be having a medical checkup with her OB. We separated at the mall already. Sam saw the carousel at the 3rd floor and immediately requested to have a one round of joyful ride...hehe! She really loves the carousel and since it's still early, i granted her small wish. I forgot that it was Sunday pala because when we got to the 3rd floor, the Timezone was jam-packed with kids of all ages. My goodness... it's family day nga pala. We usually goes out kasi during the weekdeays only to avoid the mall crowd. The ticket booth has a long-line wait but still able to managed to get Sam her carousel ticket. She patiently waited for our turn. She's very happy when it's our turn already..haha! Hays, kaligayahan nga nman ng bata...it's super babaw! I'm happy that I made her happy again.

After our horsey ride, I decided to have a small shoot again with my little model. Grabbed the ops because the weather was good plus I have the camera. I seldomly bring it kasi whenever we go out. Good thing that Sam has still some enrgy to pose for mommy...hehe! I just treated her with some pieces of her favorite Krispy Kreme daughnut after. During our way home, she's already knock-down. What a tiring yet fun day again for both of us.

a tiring but exciting photoshoot day...

Finally, the most awaited day of the first day group photoshoot of Kidstime little models has been arrived. The photoshoot for the Stella's Clothing Line group went off smoothly. I think some of them didn't make it. As far as i know, the headcount should be 12 for the Stella's, but they were just 9 of them during the shoot. The girls wore these dolly-like satin colorful dress from the said clothing company for the formal wear shot. Sam really like the dress and refuses to remove it after the set...haha! Everybody poses their sweetest smile in front of the cam. Even the youngest in the group did very well. The studio was jam-packed with these kids and the ever excited stagemoms. You can really hear the woos and coos of the mommies even outside the studio!...haha...ang ingay! :p I hope that daddy Chris didn't get annoyed with us, the ever so ingay stagemoms..hehe After the shoot, we were asked to wait outside for the meantime to giveway for the Polka tot's group.

The 2nd set was a bit more casual. They still wore these clothes from Stella's. Sam's wearing a red soft pants matching her tops. The others wore a casual dress that really looks so comfortable. Everybody had a great time. Noisy mommies on the loose again!..haha

It was also nice to finally meet in flesh our ever dearest "Contest Queen", Mommy Ro!..haha Though Mommy Kat & I already bumped to each other once during the Trinoma exhibit...I'm really happy to meet you again and had this little chikahan. I also met some GT moms from the forum and group. Pardon me if I forgot the names...hehe! I'm not that active kasi sa forum. I usually visit the site just to get some news about the contests and mag winners...I'll try to be more active now to make connection with the other stagemoms.

And finally, a very big thanks to this mom behind all of these. Thank you so much mommy Zharina and to your ever loving and very supportive hubby, daddy Chris and to the rest of the staff of Kidstime and Children's Ave. It's really a great opportunity working with you guys and I'm looking forward for the success of your "Twins." After all your hardworking days and nights and the completion of your models, you made the first photoshoot a success. Though there are some misunderstanding about model categories, you were still able to work it out. I understand that sometimes you need to make a change and hope that some concerns have been fixed for the benefit of all. Good luck more sis for these coming two days of exciting photo shoots. More cutie kids, more crying..hehe...more noisy moms...and more precious moments to capture. :p
