My Bean Bag Adventure and our Royal Family Portrait

2006-12-04T02:59:00.000-08:00

Once upon a time, not so long ago (i.e. last week), Daddy and Mommy brought me and my brother Johan to a cool place called a photo studio. There were toys all over. There were costumes, too.

And there was this really large blue bean bag. Johan and I took turns playing on it while a nice lady was taking some photos of us.

I had lots of fun with the bean bag.

And quite a number of really great photos, too.

The nice lady put a tiara on my head.

I looked and felt like a real princess.

My Daddy said I am, in fact, a real princess. I am his Princess Marielle. Then my brother Johan must be a prince, too.

If I am a real Princess, and Johan is a real Prince, then my Daddy must be a real King and my Mommy a real Queen. It makes perfect sense, don't you agree?

And here is our Royal Family portrait. We look great and so happy together. We really are!

Faces of Marielle

Different people describe me in different ways. Most say I took to my Mom's looks (to the obvious delight of my mom). Some risk saying that my looks came from my Dad, to my Mom's chagrin. My Mom has to agree though that I got my Dad's sense of humor and charming smile.

Strangers often mistake me for a Chinese or a Korean -- a very pretty Chinese or Korean girl, that is. I don't mind the descriptions. Everybody seems to agree that I look pleasing anyway.
Thanks to my Mom's penchant for buying me really nice clothes (and bling-blings) and my Ate Baby's hairdressing skills, I manage to project different looks on different occasions.

Marielle's 1st Day in School

2006-12-01T02:07:00.000-08:00

I started schooling in June 2006. I am currently enlisted in the Pre-Nursery class.

I was so thrilled to meet new friends. My best friends are Yen-yen and Trish. but Yen-yen had to go to the States after a few weeks in school. But that's okay. I have since made several other friends. There's Ronalyn, AJ, Timothy, Carlos, Sinica, Rolly, and many more.

I love to play in the playground with my friends after class.

The Making of A Star

2006-11-24T00:06:00.000-08:00

When I was just about 2 years old my Mom and Dad brought me with them at Shopwise - Libis for our monthly household supplies.

While my Mom and Dad were busy filling our grocery cart I was roaming around with my Yaya, Ate Baby (pronounced Bi-be). It was then that I noticed a mini-stage setup somewhere in the food section. A grown up man was calling kids to gather 'round him in front of the stage.

And then some grown up boys and girls wearing colorful costumes went on stage and started dancing to the beat of a fun-filled music.

The people on the stage seemed to be having lots of fun so I decided to join them. It seemed like my Dad was calling me from behind, telling me not to go to the stage. But why shouldn't I? I knew I could dance as well as those grown up boys and girls, probably even better.

The many people in the audience seemed to be enjoying my song-and-dance performance for they were all smiles and they were clapping their hands all the time. And mind you, the loudest claps came from my Dad. He must be very proud.

Eventually my Mom* joined me on stage together with other kids and their respective moms and we played a game. I don't remember anymore which game it was but I sure had lots of fun.

* My Mom is the one at the center of the phot right behind me, wearing maroon blouse and red shorts. She was carrying my soon-to-be born brother, Johan, in her tummy at the time.

Introducing Lara Marielle

Hi. I am Lara Marielle. You may call me Marielle for short.

I am currently about 3 years and 5 months old as this blogsite goes online. My Daddy, Bong, is posting my blogs in my behalf. He gets lots of help from my Mommy, Marie, too.

I have a younger brother, Johan (pronounced Yo-han). He is about 1 year and 9 months old right now. He bears an uncanny resemblance of me, which tells you that he is also very cute. But hey, this is my blogsite so you will find materials mostly about me. Johan will have his own blogsite when he turns 3, I think.

I hope you enjoy getting to know me. I look forward to getting to know all of you, too.
