I can't believe it, my baby who was just so small then and whom I used to carry in my arms, kiss his little fingers and toes, has grown bigger and is about to enter a new chapter in his life. He will soon be in grade school in just a few months. How time really flies! And he'll also be transferring to a different school as we have (hubby and I) previously planned. Actually, we've planned this since he started schooling. I was just so happy that everything went as planned. He passed the entrance exam with good grades. His grades in Math and Filipino are a bit low. I don't know why he's so bored when it comes to those subjects. Maybe we should enroll him in a tutorial center for him to improve in those subjects.<br><br>

Since this year will be his last in his current school, I wanted to share to all of you some photos from his graduation.

I think he'll be graduating soon from that salon for tots and will be having his haircut soon on a real barber shop. Weee!Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10960532051071238424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615374114456643317.post-6453201397783947192013-03-14T22:25:00.000+08:002013-03-14T22:25:01.037+08:00Jared's advanced birthday celebrationMy son was born on the month of May. A vacation month. That's why he has never experienced celebrating his birthday with his classmates. And I can see his enthusiasm every time someone celebrates a birthday in school. I know he really likes it. So his dad and I decided to let him experience by celebrating it in advance. And so it happened..
<p>
I chose the last day of their examination so they can have more time for the mini party and will have nothing to worry of since exams are over. Being pregnant makes you lazy in almost all things so I opted for food delivery. I ordered food from Jollibee, Jared's fave fastfood chain. </p>
<p>
But since I want it to have a personal touch I made cake pops as giveaways and also as desserts. Good thing my sister, Arlene, helped me with it.<a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/Iphone003.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/Iphone003.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></a><br></p>
<p>
I also prepared lootbags for his classmates to ensure everyone will go home happy. I just use a brown paper bag for it since I don't have the energy to shop for fancy bags anymore as I am getting heavier and heavier and that tires me easily.<a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/photo.jpg" imageanchor="1" ><img border="0" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/photo.jpg" width="320" height="240" /></a></p>
Here are some photos from the party.

Jared received a lot of gifts and birthday cards from his classmates and he was so so happy about it. He said he really enjoyed his birthday. :)Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10960532051071238424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615374114456643317.post-61592867444044431512013-02-27T17:43:00.000+08:002013-02-27T17:44:24.971+08:00We have an announcement!Hi blogger friends! It's been a long time. I've been crazy busy and lazy to do blogging the past weeks and months but I hope to return to regular blogging like what I did before. OK, I know I've said this a number of times... but because I have good news, I will make a quick post.<br><br>
The good news is.. We are pregnant! Yeah! Husband and I are so happy to share the good news and of course my little boy is excited and is so ready to be a big brother. So here am I showing off the baby bump :)

We just had an ultrasound last Saturday but the sonologist said that the gender cannot be determined yet as it was too small for now. I don't know if he was just lazy to check because he did it so fast as in fast! I was already on my 21st week and he cannot tell the gender yet. Oh well, will try again next month.Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10960532051071238424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615374114456643317.post-66688752880922496682012-09-22T14:57:00.001+08:002012-09-24T14:01:12.885+08:00My son's first baby tooth fell offThis is my first time to blog using my phone so please bear with the format and all.. Trying to get back to blogging though<br />
<br />
Today is the day! My son lost his first baby tooth. I just noticed it after he finished taking a bath on his own. He was having so much fun that he didn't realize he lost his tooth. We tried to look for the tooth but no luck. Maybe the tooth fairy got it in advance haha! His dentist even gave him a case for that but it has no use anymore. <br />
<br />
Anyway, we'll be using it for his 2nd tooth. He's really a big kiddo now. Oh time flies really fast! <br />

Our flight was scheduled in the afternoon and we arrived in Cebu around dinner time.<br />
<br />
First we had a sumptuous buffet dinner at Casino Espanol with my mom's high school classmate and of course the whole gang.<br />

Me with husband and the little one. We usually spend it in Batangas with my husband's family and relatives but at this time the husband's work schedule was different and he had to work during the holidays.<br />
<br />
It's pretty tiring because I did and will do all the cooking for Christmas dinner and Christmas eve. That's what I get for having two boys..<br />
<br />
On the other hand, Jared wrote a letter for Santa but.. my bad.. I haven't gotten a gift to fill in his Christmas sock. I need to think now of a reason why Santa's gift will be a bit delayed.. hmm...<br />

And when he can finally go back to school, it was already their Christmas party. That means he was not able to join their practice for their Christmas party presentation. But even if he didn't practice, he still participated and tried his best to follow the steps.<br />
<br />

Thanks to our good old camera that got broken when their dance was about to start, I was not able to record a video of their presentation.<br />
<br />
Anyway, there were games for everyone - students, parents and guardians. Jared and I joined the newspaper dance and luckily we won! OK, we were not the only winners, thanks to the organizers they chose the last 5 pairs or more than 5 haha!<br />

My little boy is sleeping soundly with the dextrose on his left hand. He was admitted last Friday due to severe vomiting and diarrhea. He was diagnosed with gastroenteritis which the doctor told us was caused by a virus. He has to receive dextrose while in the hospital to let his tummy rest or calm down and to rehydrate his body. <br /><br />He was so tamlay na but thank God on the second day after having about 2 bottles of dextrose he became active and was ready to play again.<br /><br />See, he still managed to play games using only one hand. <br /><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC08589.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC08589.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />On our 4th day, when he was active and feeling better, his IV catheter got dislodged that the nurse had to finally remove it. Good thing, the doctor told us that he doesn't have to have that dextrose again. The sign that he's feeling good already.. he asked for his pen and paper :)<br /> <br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC08600.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC08600.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br />And the good news is..

It was a birthday treat from Jops + Lyn (the newly-weds) who both decided to celebrate at the same time even if their birthdays were two weeks apart.. "tipid-mode" <i>daw</i>. But we did not feel that because we had the Corniche buffet dinner at the Diamond Hotel. Lotsa lotsa good food! I really prepared for that day - I ate very little during breakfast and lunch and I had no snack in between! That's why when we reached the resto, I was really starving.. I forgot to take pictures of the place and the food. My bad! But of-course, we had our photos. :)<div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/family.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 280px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/family.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">the whole gang</div></div><div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/ramen.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/ramen.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">Jared ate only ramen out of all the dishes.. but he liked it much!</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/chopsticks.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/chopsticks.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">and he so enjoyed using chopsticks</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/postgrppic.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/postgrppic.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">our post-dinner pic</div><div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC03128-1.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 427px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC03128-1.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">happy tummies :)</div></div>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10960532051071238424noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615374114456643317.post-60468063708291991792011-10-29T12:35:00.003+08:002011-10-29T13:12:02.111+08:00Trick or TreatYesterday, I went to a Halloween party with my little one and my sister.

It's not that he's not important to me but really time is the issue. Good thing, I'm having free time these days for blogging.

The parents were really not fond of reading the way he is that's why I'm so glad he turned out to be the opposite in terms of reading haha!<br /><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/Photo0045.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/Photo0045.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><div>He's always eager to do his homework and I need not convince or drag him to do it.

I joined a 10k race again after 2 years when I joined for the very first time.. which did not push through because of an unfortunate event that happened on the race date. We also stopped joining races around the middle of last year due to the sudden increase in registration fees and just run on our own every weekend. And when I read about the Nike race I was thrilled! It was indeed an exciting race event.

Everyone were too excited to back out so off we went! This was during the last 4-day long weekend. The first day was spent entirely on the road. We spent 12 hours in travelling from Manila to Vigan only because of typhoon Mina. We got stranded for more than 3 hours in Agoo, La Union due to some flooded areas. <div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/Baluarte.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/Baluarte.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Our first stop was Baluarte in Vigan, Ilocos Sur.

We went there with my side of the family. We went swimming, island hopping, helmet diving, fly fish-<i>ing</i> and ate and ate to our heart's content. Besides, we got a lot of things to celebrate during that time. It was Father's Day, my 30th birthday and an advance celebration of my aunt's birthday.<div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC07947.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC07947.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">It was Jared's first plane ride that's why he made sure he gets to read the flight manual before take off. :)</div><div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC00155.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC00155.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">We had rain and storm on the 1st and 2nd day but we still managed to enjoy but our little boy doesn't like the strong waves so he opted to just play on the sand.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC00175.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC00175.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">He only swam in the pool which he really enjoyed and which doesn't show in this photo haha!</div></div><div><br /></div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC06735.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10 px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC06735.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><div style="text-align: center;">The 3rd day was when the sun shone brightly.

It was a 10 day class teaching us basic swimming skills. In my group, we learned the survival swim, basic freestyle, and backstroke. I'm not yet good with them so I need to practice some more.<div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC07835.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC07835.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div><br />On the other hand, my little one was so afraid of submerging himself. It's the first thing that they have to learn but he was so scared of doing it. That's the reason why he's way behind his classmates in swimming.<div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC07757.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC07757.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Good thing, on the last few days of the lessons, he wasn't that scared anymore. And I can see that he's trying to learn. But he has not yet learned how to float so we are gonna enroll him again next year or might be every summer as long as he likes it. And another good thing, hubby just volunteered to practice or train our little one in swimming. :) </div><div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC07839.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC07839.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a></div>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10960532051071238424noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615374114456643317.post-39847733235079028572011-05-27T15:30:00.002+08:002011-06-02T23:26:09.681+08:00How we spent his 4th Bday<div>My precious little one turned four a couple weeks back and since he loves to <del>swim</del> play in the water, we thought of having a pool party with the whole family (hubby's side and mine).</div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2199.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2199.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>And since it's his birthday, we prepared his favorite foods.. it's ok if most of them are junk hehe!<div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2197.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2197.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>We got him an inflatable boat without paddles but he said he wants the paddle.. hmm..</div><div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2237.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2237.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>He got cute gifts from her tita Mane (not in the photo), his favorite angrybirds stuff toys.</div><div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2206.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2206.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a>Here's the whole gang frolicking in the water</div><div><br /><a href="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2217.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y226/jennnyg/blog/blog2/DSC_2217.jpg" border="0" alt="" /></a><br /><br /></div>Jennyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10960532051071238424noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2615374114456643317.post-51349875974521678802011-05-23T10:17:00.003+08:002011-05-24T15:47:48.348+08:00Weekend UpdateHad a fully packed weekend with my wonderful family and friends.
