Changes

Goodness gracious. Almost been a month since my last post.
Tons of stuff have happened since then. Let's see :

1. We have acquired a condominium unit in Ortigas ... targeting to move in by August (or thereabouts, depending on how soon we can pick a contractor and how soon the poor fellow will be able to deliver).

2. Gabriel's yaya retired -- 2 years na so itchy feet. Asked to go home to rest, so there. We have a new yaya now. So far OK, but Gabriel ran a fever starting yesterday.

3. Started on PMP review classes -- can you say hell. On top of my day job, I'm required to take these project management review classes and take a PMI certification exam soon after. Ugh.

4. Other resignees at work -- quite a few people that I actually care about at work left the past few weeks. It really saddens me that such a diaspora is happening. Sometimes I catch myself thinking ... why doesn't this person leave instead of that other person? ;)

Birthday gift

Yesterday was my birthday - guess what the two boys gave as a gift. High grade fever! Both Gabriel and Joaquin had 40C fevers yesterday. We're bringing them to the doctor today.

Kiss!

Gabriel's really fascinated with Joaquin and wants to kiss him all the time. We let him, but Joaquin ends up eating his nose. to illustrate:

Family Planning

Arvin and I keep joking that we're the poster family for not having a lot of children. The pictures below were taken on one of the nights when we're trying to get Gabriel to sleep AND keep from squishing Joaquin. Camera wasn't enough of a diversion.

Gabriel's first birthday

I obviously haven't spent much time on our home computer. Almost a year late, here are pictures of Gabriel's birthday. i post ko lang ang mga pictures nga may mga tawo. I'm sure those are the only pics you'll be interested in. Here goes.

Morning of Gabriel's birthday -- as if reading the newspaper. See the sheepish smile. He enjoys playing with the newspaper a lot.

That's it for now. I have to search for the other pictures yet.

Swimming Lessons


Gabriel started his swimming lessons last Tuesday ... alas, it's also exercise for the Mommy!

The picture below was taken using my not so good camera phone. We should have better pictures this Saturday when Daddy's there with us.

Joaquin's Baptism (03/04)

Pictures from Joaquin's baptism.

Joaquin slept most of the time. He was up to feed before the baptism and slept all through lunch.

Gabriel was thrilled with being in the mall. He enjoyed playing around the fountains in Market! Market! He also "rode" in the escalators all the way through the fourth floor and was shouting yehey all the time. Yaya Azon also gave him tokens to play basketball in the play area. Needless to say, he was exhausted by 2 pm :

My Birthday

Today is the first day of my life in the world of blogs.

How yesterday, huh? I used to be one of those people who was one of the first to test out tech stuff, but I lost my appetite for things technical after I gave birth. Being with a baby / toddler is so much more fun than sitting in front of an inanimate object.

On the other hand, there's some merit to spending some time alone and rediscovering my love for writing. And so it goes. We'll see how this thing goes ...
