DD at Margaret Stohl's Book Signing Event

Fangirling is in the house for our Dancing Queen! New York Times Bestselling co-author of the Beautiful Creatures Series and ICONS author, MARGARET STOHL --- is in Manila for a much-awaited book-signing event!   The look on our DD's face is enough reward for hours of registering, and waiting for this day itself!  :)  

 

“When I first met you, that's what I remember.

I looked up at the sky and thought,

I'm going to love this person

because even the sky looks different.”

Margaret Stohl, Beautiful Chaos  

 

 

DD's Dream Comes True

After good RAD results, and being promoted to Grade 5, Dancing Queen is now on Pointes! Her dream becomes a reality...  

  But together with this new phase in her dancing career, comes the "challenge" that goes with it --- feet blisters. But of course, for DD, the show must go on...  :)  

  ...and since that is part and parcel of a dancer's life, this, for now, is Dancing Queen's best buddy while on Pointes ---  

 

There are short-cuts to happiness, and dancing is one of them.  Vicki Baum

Dancing Queen's RAD Results

Praise God for favorable results!  Dancing Queen's pictures say it all :)  

 

 

To dance is to be out of yourself.

Dancing Queen's Dance Concert

What a way to cap the summer --- DD's dance concert at the Cultural Center of the Philippines was a blast, praise God!  She danced three dances, two in classical ballet, and one in jazz (my bad, I failed to take photos of Dancing Queen wearing her other two costumes), and wowed the family, who we invited to watch along with us.  It was a good, 3-hour show, but all worth it for a great performance from all the students of STEPS Dance Studio.   Here are some photos...

Dancing Queen's Package

Our DD is very excited!  Her little package from her English friend, Megan has arrived!   

   I admire these two girls for writing and sending out letters to each other...  In this day of techie gadgets, social networking,  and computer stuff, they managed to do it the "old but charming way!"   

  There are big ships and small ships.  But the best ship of all is friendship.  Author Unknown

Being a full-time mother is one of the highest salaried jobs...

since the payment is pure love.
