MUCH ADO ABOUT SUMMER

I have a confession to make. This may disappoint most of you but Tina and I are not fond of going to the beach during Summer. We prefer to soak under cold shower (together? that’s another story that may not deserve a blog post! LOL!)  rather than bathe and immerse on water under the scorching...

My Six-Year-Old Blogger and Our Surreal Day

So, I finally gave in. After over a year of begging and heavy hinting, I officially introduced my six-year-old son to the world of blogging today. Sound the trumpets! Ring the bells! It’s an historical day! For a blogging maven mum, you’d think that I would’ve immediately turned...

OUR PLATES LAST WEEKEND

FRIDAY –After my office handed me my passport+visa and allowances, I went to SM Megamall to buy things that I’ll need for my month-long training in Tokyo.  Before shopping, I had my late lunch alone… Although Buco Pandan Shake, Max’s Fiesta Plate and Halo-halo literally filled...

TEAM GABBY WINS! (PART 1)

The past few days have been overwhelming!   My family and I cannot thank the Lord enough for so much blessings! No, we didn’t win in lotto or something; how we wish! But it’s beyond what money can buy. Last Thursday, I failed to attend to my son’s Math Quiz Bee in his preschool...

DON’T YOU MISS BAGUIO?

SEVENTH HEAVEN

Despite the mild U.R.T.I. (Upper Respiratory Tract Infection) and a ton of uncertainties I’m experiencing, God knows how grateful I am to Him and for all the love and support from my family and closest friends that Tina, Gabby and I are getting; it’s just overwhelming. Allow me to keep...

It was late last year when we first heard the bad news. We all thought that we still had a lot of time together. But we don’t. For about three weeks already, my wife and I have been dropping by my in-laws everyday. Which explains why I cut short our holiday visit to my parents in the province. Which...

INTRO TO VEGGIES

Our 5-year-old son, Gabby is still a little picky when it comes to something to chow down and digest.  And as first-time-parents, Tina and I  have been alarmed with this. Like other mom and dad, we also want our kid to be comfortable with all  those go, grow and glow foods!   Don’t...

OH MY GULAY!

these were a part of this dozen bunch… They may not be Ecuadorian roses but my OAO (read : One And Only) loved it when Gabby and I gave them to her this afternoon.  My wife, Tina fondly calls flowers, which she didn’t personally like in the past until she matured, GULAY…...
