The Aunt In Me

Undeniably, parents have the most unconditional love. They will give their last piece to their lovely daughter or to their caring son. I, too, can vouch on grandparents' astounding love to their grandchildren. I see this right into my eyes as to how my parents are taking the responsibility of my irresponsible sister. No, irresponsible is an understatement - my HEARTLESS sister. Let me save that story on my next blogs.

But there is something with aunts that makes us unique as the giver of love and affection to our nieces and nephews. It must be the motherly figure tied up with a sisterly friendship that bind us to the little ones. I grew up not so close to my aunts and uncles. But with my nieces and my newly born nephew, I am proud to boast that I am loving them at least at par of what a normal parent does to her children. It is the very reason why I choose to go home frequently so that I can at least fill up the absences of their heartless mother.

They are adorable. I can't be prouder as to how they are growing up to be smart and beautiful young girls!

I just need to slip on mommy's pumps and take a pose!

time for some horror pictorial!

The photos above are some of the normal bonding moments we have. I love how simple their happiness is - chocolates, make-ups, shoes, cuddles and hugs, etc. These are the moments which makes me think that airfare expenses are just worth it! And what could be a sweeter news? An addition to my growing stable of nieces and nephews - yes, a nephew!

 Please welcome the newest addition to our family!

Niece Tricks

Nieces are closest to your heart if you are still unmarried. I have two beautiful and smart little toddles now, and another niece-or-nephew is on the way! Yahoo!
Sace and Clesh have the same passion in life - and that is to emulate whatever I am doing. They want to fit my clothes, grab my shoes, and put on my make ups! Last weekend during my short visit to Bacolod, Clesh has been robbing my vanity kit whenever I got my eyes off my bag. After her rarest quite moments, she went out of my room and greeted me with her widest smile and... with my make ups all over her body and face!

she gave me her sweet innocent smile before I can scold her!

and she feels she has the best make up in the world!

and she poses like a ramp model!

I can't help but laugh as to how she was so happy to try out those powders and shades. And what made it funnier? She does not want anyone to hold her because her make up might be messed up!

These little angel has been a light in our lives. She's too playful that sometimes you want to throw your fists on her but she's also too sweet that your heart will easily melt when she throws her arms up in the air and tells you to carry her. Ah, sweet, sweet little devil!
