my 34th at woodland

was initially thinking of doing a staycation in a hotel to celebrate my birthday, but decided to just head to Woodland instead to have more fam with us... the kiddos definitely had fun.... but the place was so full which we're not used to, because usually this is some quiet place for us to get away to... 

my 2 tig-blow ng candles always... :-)
pogi!!!

march2016 random paomat moments

i don't what's gotten into these 2 and they suddenly wanted to have photos with jobee (jollibee camins - 2016.03.12)
and need din na may tig-isa (jollibee camins - 2016.03.12)
di pa nakuntento... when they saw another jobee inside KCC, ngdemand pa... (KCC - 2016.03.12)
trip to the mall is an event for these 2 since we dont get to bring them often (we live a bit far, and going to the only big mall in zambo on weekends after lunch is parking suicide hehe) - (kcc - 2016.03.12)
during the tambay in jobee camins, they have their favorite spot for watching planes during take-off or landing (jollibee camins - 2016.03.12)

we helped a grass owl!

our lolo noticed the owl on our neighbor's rooftop first.... it's trying to free itself since its wing got tied up with a rouge kite's string... the owl's beginning to look exhausted, looks like it had been there for some time....the sun's getting hotter as it's around 8am already, poor bird... good thing our neighbor's karpinteros helped with their bamboo ladder to free mr.owl.... they're giving it for us to take care after but the lolo doesn't want to, thus the heartbreak for our pao. the neighbor agreed to keep it in their big cage-like water tank "cabinet"...the kiddos get to visit mr.owl during his first day.... i told the kids to go look for lizards and mouse to feed mr.owl... but they didn't get to... the bird barely ate the whole day....

the following day, asking help from mam june, we had people from DENR over to get and care for the bird until its ready to go back to the wild...

it had been a privilege to meet you Mr. Grass Owl.... it's not everyday that we see one rare bird... and best, it's not everyday that we can save one! :-) i hope we will get to see you before they release you back to your world...

easter beach morning

that once in a blue moon instance na si daddyboo ang ngyayang lumayas.... :-) kaya go! :D

we have not been to the beaches in zambo's west coast since motmot turned 1... we've always been here though before mateo, always between 6-9am... always in La Vista... 

kaya we decided to do this again this easter.... only to be disappointed dahil we were not allowed in La Vista because its just 630am  and that they are full for the day based on the reservations.... so for the first time, my boys met the Golf Beach Resort (ang tanging beach resort na madalas naming puntahan nung high school dahil cheaper than la vista).... and as expected, they're a bit disappointed for not finding sand.... haha!

these 2 love going to the beach...for the sand...they're not much of swimmers yet.... but im glad they still end up having fun hunting for stones with shapes they can play with.... t'was still a good 2-3hrs!

holy thursday

.... initially decided to just stay home, we cant do visita iglesia this year since it was a perfect timing to have our car's aircon fixed.... but mommyla and daddylo surprised the kiddos late in the afternoon and tagged them along to do the church hop....

3 churches through though and we have to end up in Mcdo, the car won't start kasi.... funny little experience for keeps to cap the first holiday of the holy week...

we had 2 kites up!

after the successful first kite-flying attempt this season, we decided to get more kites! and the daddyboo had an impromptu "tara palipad tayo ng kite" moment that without questions asked we were all set to go to the nearest open field... :-)

daddyboo tried the diamond-shaped kite, while i tried with our kite from last time..... oh how easy to have a kite up!!! i just let it go and it flew on its own!!! all i need to do is to slowly release more string so it can climb higher!!! the boys got easily bored with this tuloy... they end up picking ripe "putok putok" (urgh i still don't what its really called)...

a lot of passerbys are checking on our kites.... we end up giving one to a kid who had been watching and cheering on our kites the whole time.... :-)

pao's nursery awards day

done with our first time in real a full 10month schoolyear.... :-) you were pretty crazy during the first month kuyapotpot... crying so much everytime i leave you at school... but to my surprise during the first school program your teacher told me that you were one of the good ones... everytime i check your books and see perfect scores in every exercises, i thought your teachers are too nice to be giving all of you perfect scores... but it was already you doing good.... :-) 

the biggest shock was even when after the 2nd activity in school your teacher showed us the top 5 during the first quarter... i did not expect you to be part of it (bad mommy! haha) but still i tried to look at no.5 first just in case you made it....  but no, you were not no.5, not even no.3... you were no.1!!!! akalain mo! :-) me and daddyboo knew you are really good so we decided to nurture you further.... but only to fail at some point because we got too busy.... but you are still doing good! towards the end, i tried to catch up on coaching you but you've shown me how you've actually mastered things on your own.... so i was confident we will end our first schoolyear really good.... :-) and you never failed us..... 

you are sooooo me..... that stubborn, difficult kid who seem to have a really good grasp of the things around you that we adults treat you like adults only for you to show us at some points that you're still a kid.... 

you are soooooo me..... that stubborn, difficult kid who seem to have a way of doing things on your own, who is overly excited a lot of times but still knows your limit.... we clash, i know. im as stubborn as you babe.... you're actually teaching me to raise a me.... :-) loveu to the edge of the universe and back!!!
