My Pride and Joy

Today is my daughter's 13th birthday. Wow, huh? I have a teenager! Has it been already 13 years since I first held my little precious princess in my arms? Last month I accompanied her to Chat Peypoch for her graduation pic shoot (see pic below). I was such a stage mom! While all the other mother's entrusted their daughter's total look to the in-house make-up and hair stylist, I, of course, wanted to do all that for Mikah. I did so little because she has such beautiful olive, even-toned skin that I did was just put some light powder on her, comber her eyebrows, put a little blush and clear lip gloss. For hair hair, I just had to blow dry it since she already has gloriously straight jet black hair that would give any Sunsilk model a run for her money. Haha! She's also a very beautiful person inside. Case in point, for her 13th birthday celebration, she wanted a party with the orphans at White Cross. Ain't she something else? Take a good look at her. My heart-stoppingly beautiful 13 year old "dalaga". My pride and Joy. My daughter. Happy Birthday, Mikah! You'll always be my little babygirl.
