busy day for the CAT trucks and kuyaboo (12.31.2013)

 before our new year cookin' was placed in high gear, the daddyboo was playing with the kuya pao with his new CAT trucks.... the machines were all busy that day, and the operator too, with picking pomelo and making pacute sa daddyboo.... :-)

though i hope the pao won't opt to be an engineer someday.... i prefer him to have work that would enable him to be mobile and still earn big bucks! :-) hihihihi





happy new year celeb!

new year in zamboanga city is supposed to be quieter dahil bawal ng bumili at magbenta ng paputok...to prevent those who were not able to move on from the gunshot sounds from the siege....it was quiet until 12mn.... it was crazy noisy in our area, where they got their firecrackers is a big question.... my paolo acted crazy, takot na takot.... so a minute before midnight he and daddyboo stayed inside the bedroom... hehehe

but hours before midnight we found out that mamang (who was in manila during the new year celeb) had a stash of fireworks in the bedroom.... kala ko pinuslit nya somewhere, but she later told us that this was from some new year back.... we played with it around 10pm kaya game na game pa ang paolo kasi walang ingay.... we tried to stop him from finishing everything para meron pa sa midnight pero ang ending e kami kami lang din ang ngubos dahil nga nagtago na sila ng daddyboo.... :-) what a way to welcome 2014.... :-) our giant baby however was soooo game, he stayed outside and enjoyed watching us light the rest of mamang's stash of fireworks.... :-)

oh and that calamansi with coins and etc na sinasabit sa door by midnight, i had it all prepared as bilin ni mamang, pero 15min before it was supposed to be hang, ang magaling na paolo e pinitas ang calamansi!!! hahaha panic mode to put it all together for midnight! new years are indeed celebrated better with kids around! :-)

slide na di slide (family fried dec 30, 2013)

ang slide na hindi nag-sslide si paolo.... hehe must have been because of his bulky pants....

crazy kiddo... kept laughing and tried to crawl (tama ba kahit nakahiga haha!) his way down.... :D but in fairness this is where he finally conquered his fear of this play areas.... he's being pushed aside kasi sa jobee play area.... :-)

revisiting my 2013 wishlist....

ok here goes... im back here and it feels kinda weird.... my last post was August 24,2013!!! what war and crammed work (because of the war) can do.... it can kill your blog! hehehe just kidding... just making my usual excuses... but i miss this, i miss my little space... 2013 had gone way too fast! one minute i was very pregnant then i popped then it's war time in Zamboanga then the Bohol quake and the crazy Yolanda.... everything seems like a blur now... it feels numb that finally this crazy year's about to end.... but im still grateful about a million things... i just wanna go back and see how much of my wishlist i was able to hit (red font)... :-)


1.) push through with the trips planned as early as last year (with plane tix pa! hehe). my 2013 will be a little restricted in terms of travel because of the pregnancy so will just have to stick with a few already planned trips this year.... :-) 
    • a. CDO-Camiguin-Iligan with Kaladkarin (Feb!) - while this is supposed to be an action-filled trip, I will have to create 2 itineraries - one for the rest of the group who would still go white water rafting, zipline, hike and all, and another for my leisure trip because i'll be 5months pregnant by then... :-)
      • yey natuloy to!!! despite the hubby's protests with me bringing pao with us but nothing beats this girl's persistence. Pao enjoyed the trip so much!!! we all enjoyed the trip (except the daddyboo who kept on complaining kasi sya daw karga ke pao.. hehe)
    • b. Lakewood roadtrip with Kaladkarin (April!) - a 4-hr drive from Zamboanga City...hoping to bring paolo with us during this trip, and hoping i can still endure that 4hr drive (i'll be 7mos pregnant by then hehe)
      • didn't push through.... :-(
    • c. Luzon roadtrip with Leo's boys (Sept!) - pre-planned dahil may tix na! pero destination unknown pa rin! hahaha... although kakatapos lang ng maternity leave ko nito... go pa rin!!! or baka nga pasok pa sa maternity leave ko? haha :D pao's got his own tix too, this will be his pre-2nd bday celebration, dahil i want him to celebrate his new year someplace new to him... :-)
      • was actually dreaming of a beach trip up north (pagudpud or la union!), or at least baguio.... but everybody has their own plans so we got stuck in manila.... tried to make the most of it.... push for a visit to Ocean Park (my 2nd bday gift to paolo), then the boys had their own lakad so i went to see my girlfriends with paolo! and on the last day we were still undecided where to go (i objected to a trip to EK since it'll be too hot for a tot), so i just decided to spend mine and pao's last day with Kuya Uno and Tita Joy! nevermind my dream beach trip, the Ocean Park and playtime with kuya uno stuck with paolo to this time. :-)
    • d. Manila pre-christmas trip (Nov!) - although no tix pa, pero i want to be in Manila before the craziness of christmas and just in time when all the lights and decorations are up... want to bring the 2 kids na din... since my sis' family won't be coming home in december, we still have an excuse to have a pre-christmas date with them! :D
      • didn't get to buy us tix anymore so we were not able to go.... soooo inggit with kuya uno and ate chuchay playtime!
    • e. Attend Dianne's wedding!!! (Dec!!) - kahit na she missed my wedding, i want to be there during hers...it'll be a sort of mini-reunion for my GE girlfriends! quick trip pero will really save the date for this trip... :D
      • yey natuloy to!!! though didn't get to bond with the bride...t'was a fun little escape for mommyboo.... :-) and as usual crazy time with ex-GE pips (di applicable ang ex ke Ryan and Ezra hehehe)

instagram photodump #6 (June2013)

June is our fave month this year.... because it's the time that we became 4.... the time that we welcomed our Mateo... t'was a bittersweet times though... as a mommy, i somehow felt that little sadness for pao because there will be no more mommy-pao-daddy only, he needs to grasp the fact that he has to consider the 4th member of the family.... but our pao was such a great kuya we did not have any issues during the transition.... a little "selos" is there from time to time but everyday's ok. :-) 

pcute n nman para di aalis si mahmee... @1yr 7mos 23days

paotalk - "kiss muna"

i started this paotalk thing here some months ago wanting to document Pao's progress in communicating... but i have been such a lazy bumble bee... so i have my 2nd post just now... and since the last, pao's vocabulary had blown up beyond what i can keep track.... he seems to know a lot of words already, he's actually communicating with us now (he's 1yr 9mos as of this post)... :-) 


here's our little conversation last night:

me: pao may pasalubong ako...(shows him the lollipop... and expected that he'll say "pasalubong pasalubong" as usual)

pao: (shouts with arms stretched out sabay nguso) kiss muna!! kiss muna!!

haha poor kid alam na ang suhol na hihingin sa kanya.... :D

Saturday, July 13, 2013

i'm back.... hopefully for good!!!

because i badly feel the need to document my life with these boys.... :-)

....and yes i miss my Promding Chamimay badly too...

i don't have any excuse this time, the pregnancy totally slowed my momentum in anything... but now that cute chubby-cheeked baby is already out, i suppose i can get my groove back, for real... :-) fingers-crossed!!! :-)
