Thank you!

My SIL, Mei, gave us "his and hers watches" or "couple watches". She gave it to us the last time she went back home from another country. Hubby and I were so thrilled. She really gives the bestest gifts! How sweet diba? :)

I don't wear watch anymore. I got used to checking time through my cellphone. I only wear a watch when I'm running so I can monitor the time. But since I already got one, I should start using one. Thank you!

Papi's day

This is a late blog greeting but what the heck! Photo was taken exactly on father's day.. see how good a dad he is? :)

Happy Father's day to the sweetest, most caring, most loving, and coolest dad in the whole wide world! Thank you for always being there for us, for giving us a lot of quality time and for just being a super awesome dad!

Love,

Jared and your gorgeous wife ;)

A week till the DAY

It will be just a week till the DAY.. I am going to be 30. OMG. Where did all the years go and why so fast??? Well, it seems to me that turning 30 is a life-altering experience in which you are suddenly going to be considered "old." One more year and I get kicked out of the calendar. But I don't look old! yet..haha! anyway, I'm still 29.. :)

Now that I'm turning 30, I've started to moisturize my skin and use some anti-aging cream. I know I'm the laziest girl in the world when it comes to beauty rituals that's why I am now trying to make an effort.

And I just feel so happy and blessed that I have my husband and my cute little boy. They are the ones who keep me feeling young. And I love them to bits!

Well, age shouldn't really matter if you are doing what you want to be doing every year of your life.

Here’s to 30! Live, Laugh, and Love!

Swimming Lessons

Our swimming lessons were completed about two weeks ago. 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.

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.

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. :)

How we spent his 4th Bday

My precious little one turned four a couple weeks back and since he loves to swim play in the water, we thought of having a pool party with the whole family (hubby's side and mine).

And since it's his birthday, we prepared his favorite foods.. it's ok if most of them are junk hehe!

We got him an inflatable boat without paddles but he said he wants the paddle.. hmm..

He got cute gifts from her tita Mane (not in the photo), his favorite angrybirds stuff toys.

Here's the whole gang frolicking in the water

Weekend Update

Had a fully packed weekend with my wonderful family and friends. Saturday was our flu vaccine day. We availed the shot from the company where my friend works for, since it was a lot cheaper compared when you avail it directly from doctors. Our sunday was about swimming and boxing but wasn't able to bring my cam so I'll just post about the vaccine day.

Vaccination is at Makati and so we have decided to let our little one experience riding a train, the MRT. Parked the car at the mall in North Ave. and from there we walked our way heading to the MRT. It was Jared's first time and he was so excited.

Here's his dad explaining to him how to insert the MRT ticket

Got off at Buendia station and headed to Ayala Triangle Gardens to meet up with Nectar and her family. By that time it was already lunch time so we went straight to the resto to feed our tummies.

The garden looks nice and seems well maintained and the grass looks really nice on photos so we took pictures before going to the office for vaccination. Here are some.

After the photo op, we went straight to the vaccination - our main purpose! haha! Adults get the shot first. Here are the kids while waiting for their turn - busy with their doodling.

It was a really tiring day with all that walking we did. Look how tired my son was haha! We were suppose to shop first but we were all so exhausted we just went home immediately.

To my little son-shine

I can't believe that you are now four today. It seems just like yesterday when you came screaming into this world. And from the day you were born you have brought so much happiness and joy to our life. Mami and Papi always pray that you'd always be in good health and that you'd grow to be a good man that God wants you to be. I so look forward to watching you grow up, but please don't rush it along. Everyday I spend with you is so precious to me. I love you my little angel! Happy 4th Birthday!

Love,

Mommy
