Vito and Carlos' Favorite Toys

Got this tag from Jacque :)

{START COPY}

Here are the rules:

Post a photo of your baby with her/his first ever favorite/comfort toy. Write some details of your fondest memory of your baby and her toy. This will make a good moment when your baby grows up! Lastly, don’t forget to add the link to your website’s at the end of the page. I’m sure many moms would love to see your sites, too!

Vito and Carlos have lots of toys that will last a lifetime, hahaha! Most of these are gifts from my baby shower, their birth, their baptism and their 1st birthday.

They love the playgym, blocks and balls. They also love to play with non-infant toys like a flashlight and marker. But their hands down favorite is our cellphones :P

I remember, there was a time Vito would poke Carlos as if he was a toy, Haha! :) So I would tell him, "Kuya Vito, This is Carlos.. He is not a toy okay, he's your brother." Hehehe..

Passing this now to Jeremy, Djuan and Joaquin.. What are your favorite toys? :)

Happy Birthday, Dong!

She is a thoughtful, dependable and loyal friend, a good listener and a great cook. She can be mataray, but has a big heart.



There's never a dull moment with her, esp with her quirky comments, hehe. And she is never late coz she drives like hell.



Happy Birthday Dong may you stay sweet forever! :) Hindi ko na bibilangin ang birthday candles kase baka bukas pa ako matapos... LOL! :D

Vito and Carlos at 13 months

MC Reunited at Pioneer East

Three days before Ana's departure for the US, the group met again. But this time it was in Marvin's pad at Pioneer East Tower. I brought rice and chopseuy for the potluck dinner. I brought Keith, too. It wasn't hard to convince him to join me in the all-girl night out, after all his office is just across the condo. :P

The other girls brought pansit, bbque, cake, KFC and pastries. As usual, it was a fun night with the occasional teasing and shreaking, hehe.

Here I am with my best buddies:

















Marvin (in green) is our host for the night. He loves to make funny comments, while Ana (in fuchsia) just listens in. Except for Marvin & Ana, all of us are married. Our topics that night ranged from married life to kids. One would mistake it for a PTA meeting, haha.

Bon voyage, Ana! Hope to see you in the near future. We are sure gonna miss yah! :)

Yes, we will have more kids if we want to.
And... YES, WE ARE ALSO GLAD THEY'RE OURS AND NOT YOURS!



















T-shirt saying from Twinstuff.com

Gone for the weekend

We had little preparation for this trip. It was an impromptu kind of thing. We just brought our towels, a change of clothes and sunblock and we were off to Munting Buhangin Beach Camp in Nasugbu, Batangas. It's the most accessible beach that accepts walk-in guests. After eating breakfast at Mcdo in Tagaytay, we bought pork liempo and charcoal at Maharlika Market, then bought film (yes, for the camera), soda, ice, paper plates, plastic utensils and cups from the nearest 7-11 store. We reached Munting Buhangin at 10am and we were immediately greeted by the sound of karaoke, hehe. Usually, this place is jam-packed, but today, we were just about five families in the entire resort. And we were very lucky because the weather was perfect and the beach was peaceful. :D

But the best part of it all, Carlos agreed to swim for the very first time.















Vito, however, was satisfied playing on the sand.















We grilled the liempo and ordered rice and sinigang from the in-house restaurant. After lunch, we went back to swim. The water was perfect and we stayed on the parts that had no rocks. At 3pm, we started wrapping up for home. Everybody enjoyed despite the long trip. There's definitely going to be a next time :)

Nightcap at SideBar Cafe

After watching The Dark Knight, we went to meet our friends at SideBar Cafe in El Pueblo - Keith and I's fave chillout spot. I was still high about Batman and kept on telling everyone how good it was, hehe. I had to control myself from giving out spoilers coz they haven't seen it yet. :P

We stayed until 12 midnight and the boys challenged themselves with four shooters that tasted like (1) tuseran (2) tuseran with ginseng and extract of chicken (3) rhea alcohol and (4) lactacyd, hahaha! I didnt take part in that challenge as I was very satisfied with my frozen daiquiris. :) As for the pulutan, we had Sausage and Onions, Sweet Chili Half Moons, Cheese Stilletos and Sidebar Nachos. It was a fun night. :D
