new design

Yesterday, Papa changed his design medyo he gave in sa gustong design ni Mama. We canvassed for materials and strolled around Pacita to look for more veranda styles. We bought a box of 1.5 Coke.. Papa loves it eh.. pampawi daw nya ng init ng panahon. We had our merienda at Chowking, we ate halo-halo.

This morning, we talked to the carpenter, asked for a discount and explained again the new design. All are settled. We're going to get the *103* for the project.

Tomorrow, the project will start na.. maalikabok na rito.. then magbabakasyon pa si Marie - house help namin.

project terrace/veranda

Until now, my parents still can't decide kung kaninong design ang gagawin. Gusto ng Papa ko sa kanya... pero ang financier si Mama kaya gusto sana ni madir yung pasok sa budget nya. Papa's proposal kasi eh medyo madugo at mahal.

Mukhang hindi matutuloy ang project na ito... pinakita ko na rin kay Papa yung gusto lang sanang style ni Mama.

ganito lang sana ang gusto ni Mama

Papa's veranda proposal... sketch nya ito

Lord, please sana po ang 1 sa kanila ang mag-give in na...

ooh, what a day!

Yesterday, Papa arrived for his 1 month vacation. We went to the airport before 2pm because Papa's flight will arrive at 2:40pm. We arrived at the airport 2:35pm, bro and my hubby went to check if flight SV856 has arrived. Ang asawa ko lang ang bumalik sa sasakyan, so I concluded na dumating na at iniwan na raw nya si bro sa waiting area.

While waiting for Roel to get back... i let my daughter have her milk
while I change her clothes. After my daughter had her milk, we went to the waiting area and looked for my bro but we can't see him anywhere. Then I checked my cp, there's a message - my bro asking where we parked, I called him and he said that they're already waiting at the car.

Going back to the car, I already saw Papa with his things.. 2 (medium sized) boxes and a bag of clothes. After placing Papa's things at the back of the van.. we headed home. We had our merienda at Greenwich Caltex at Susana Heights and went home.

Tatay Mar

Tatay Mar & my pasaway bro, Aaron

We had our dinner at tito Paul's place kasi po pa-birthday nya.

T'was a busy day for us.. we had our lunch at Roel's parents, my daughter visited her pedia for her vaccine. Hinatid pa namin si daddy Rudy sa Parkhomes, we also went at tita Char's place to help her setup for internet connection - may inuwing work kasi.

We went home before 10pm (from my uncle's place)... umalis si Ron so sinamahan ko pa muna si Papa till 12 midnight, kwentuhan at may tinetest kasi sya. Prepared his stuff.. unan, bedsheet, towel, soap, shampoo, etc., walang mag-aasikaso sa kanya, wala si Mama - far away.

Papa watched TV na nung matutulog na ako... he went to sleep 2am na raw.

For vacation

Tomorrow is Papa's arrival.. he's here for vacation. I'm now preparing his beddings and for the 1st time, after how many years of going to and fro sa KSA eh magpapasundo sya.. knowing na may magda-drive na... his son-in-law, my hubby Roel. Just called him to remind the airport rules on what things should be checked in for security purposes.

I'll just post what'll happen tomorrow. I'm still getting ready some things for his arrival.

Simple day

Yesterday, we had our very simple dinner, just spag, some fried chicken, cake and a bottle of coke. We attended mass.. thanking for all the blessings we're receiving.

Love Profile 'kuno'

Parang hindi ako ganito ah... promise, opposite ata ako nito...

Aries - Your Love Profile

Your positive traits: You're quite the charmer. You've got the wit and attitude to attract almost anyone you meet. Out spoken and honest, any date knows how they stand with you. Fearless, independent, and willing to try anything twice - your dates should expect the unexpected. Your negative traits: You tend to be vain, and you expect your partner to feed that vanity often with complements. Hot tempered and impulsive, you've occasionally ended things ... only to regret it later. You're obsessed with being the best, most loved girlfriend or boyfriend your sweetie's ever had. Your ideal partner: A risk taking, free spirit like yourself - who can keep up with your latest wild child antics. Someone stylish, attractive, and fit... who can keep you attracted for months. Is hard to get - and lets you pursue things. You prefer to be the chaser, not the one being chased. Your dating style: Wild, unpredictable, fun, and daring. Your ideal date may involve a couple motorcycles or naked skydiving. Your seduction style: Honest and direct - you have no need for romance or much foreplay. Show off. You like to show your lover how you're the best ever. Ambitious. You often like to go all night - or aim for multiple orgasms. Tips for the future: Start to believe in second and third chances. You don't have to dump them so fast. Savor the process. Sometimes the best part of falling in love is taking things in slow motion. Let go of comparisons. If someone's with you, then you've already one. Stop worrying about exes. Best color to attract mate: Red Best day for a date: Tuesday

This afternoon, my daughter and I went to Pixie Forest at Festival Mall to attend the birthday party of Louie and Mon's daughter, Ria.

me and my daughter

Pixie the Fairy

birthday invitation

We arrived at 2pm, sumabay ako kina Patit, Rej, et al. kasi may pasok si Wel. The party started at 2:30pm. They had 3 kiddy games and 1 adult game. Then it's time to eat, Shakey's catered the ocassion. After eating, they had a mini magic show. Then it's time to give the party loot and the ride-all tag for the kids.

Roel picked us up, we were suppose to use the ride-all tag but we had to buy some at the supermarket... then we went home.. sakit na ng likod ko.

Baby Stuff

Below are my daughter's stuff:

Her 2nd and 3rd Barney CD

Her 1st 3 CDs: 1, is a souvenir from my inaanak; 2, nursery rhymes and 3, instrumental for babies, I bought the 2

Her 1st Barney CD and the only Blue's Clues

Her 8-in-1 Barney DVD, she's pointing at it

Our "car", we stroll around the village with this..

Hand-me-down toy from ate Venice (or ate Maica ?), a flower that sings "I'm walkin' on sunshine" and dances, too

She loves to watch videoke.. so I bought these - Christmas songs and kiddy songs

Her "driving" toy

Hand-me-down

May 2006, my cousin hand-me-down her daughter's "pinaglakihang" baby clothes and some toys. T'was almost 2 big balikbayan boxes. Some clothes are kept kasi di na kasya sa anak ko noon.. yung iba naman binigyan ko yung kasama namin dito at yung tita nya. I was planning pa nga to give some sa mga kakilala kong buntis or may baby pa. Buti na lang at tinamad akong "mamigay." Coz now na buntis yung pinsan ko sa 2nd baby nila, I told her that I'm very willing to give back the baby clothes she gave me then.

Here are some of the items I gave back:

shoes

carrier

dresses, socks, bibs, hats, jackets, shirts

and the 1-pc. suit for babies

It was not an issue for me.. parang naghihiraman kami pero sila ang bumili. hehehe. Ang laki rin ng natipid ko, coz hindi ako bumibili ng mga damit panlabas ng anak ko. Problema ko pa rin ang storage for the clothes na malalakihan na ng anak ko. I keep it muna, baka sakaling hingin din. hehehe.

Thanks ate for letting me "borrow" these clothes. =>
