P.I.C.'s 60th Birthday

Lolo P.I.C. (Partner-in-Crime) celebrated his 60th birthday this year. Yey! may discount na si Lolo :) Lolo G had a post-60th birthday bash at Yakimix in Greenbelt with family and close friends.

WHY P.I.C.?

1. When Lucas was into Handy Manny and started requesting for his own "tools" particularly, a hammer, Lolo G didn't just buy him a toy hammer. He looked for a small hammer that my son can handle and taught him where he can use it (the wooden shoe rack!).

2. When Lucas requests for Jollibee, Lolo G will most probably be getting his car keys within  a minute of his apo's request.

3. When Lolo G buys bread in BF, they will surely pass by Ruins to buy toys for my little boy.

4. Lucas runs to Lolo G's room if he thinks he can escape me and JJ. One time, we were about to brush his teeth when all of a sudden he ran to Lolo G's room and jumped on their bed. Sumunod kami ni JJ. Akala niya di na siya magtoo-toothbrush because he's in Lolo's room? Nu-uh.

5. Lolo G (and Lola E) know the Playhouse Disney characters already. Little boy loves to stay in their room specially on weekdays. And there's the usual request to watch cartoons in the living room where Lola E watches TV.

6. Whatever time of the day, Lolo G will make his apo his special bread (aptly called "Lolo's bread").
7. Lucas was playing with dirt in the garden (as in kinakamay niya!). To the rescue si Lolo G. Akala ko sasawayin niya. You know what he did? Inabutan ng shovel! Para daw hindi na kamayin :) hehehe...

Here are the "partners" through the years:

Happy Birthday Lolo! Cheers to a lot more birthdays to come :)

The Big 3-0

Yup, JJ and I just turned a year older. Here are snapshots of our birthdays:

 Looks can be deceiving. This chocolate cake from Shopwise looks simple but believe me, it's so yummy. Moist and soft. All for P300++.

 My boys.

Eugene and Eunice celebrated their birthdays by having a swimming party at Eugene's condo.

 Little Lucas loves to swim.

 Candle-blowing

 Lucas found a new toy

Chitchat and Birthdays

Long time, no entry. I noticed that it’s been more than a week since my last kuwento. I’ve been busy lately and I can’t find the time to jot something down and update my blog.

Hmm, so what’s new with me? Baby Lucas is now on his 34^th week inside my tummy. I can definitely tell when he’s awake and when he’s asleep. He loves moving around in there and what’s really funny is the fact that he somersaults a lot when I am attending a meeting. Maybe, given my relaxed state, I can feel his movements better but still, it makes me smile whenever I am jolted by one of his kicks during meetings. Our weekly check-ups will start this Friday. We’re also up for an ultrasound to check his position. I am kinda scared of stepping up the weighing scale because I gained 21 lbs already and I don’t wanna overshot the normal weight gain during pregnancy. I’m all for a normal delivery that’s why I am cutting down on sugar and other “bad” food, (including chocolates. Sniff. Sniff).

I so miss you T!

Last Thursday, I met with Sheryl and Aggie and had dinner at Clawdaddy’s in High Street FB. Unfortunately, Laurs was swamped with work so she wasn’t able to meet with us. It was an “expectant mom/ titas” meeting as both She’s and Ag’s sister-in-laws are pregnant. So, in one way or another, all three of us are expecting a baby in the family this year. It was also the first baby shower for Lucas as they both gave me gifts for the little boy. (Thanks again She and Ag).

Sunday was a busy day for us as we had two birthday parties to attend. Good thing Tita Olive’s party is for lunch and Miggy’s party is at 3PM. Tita Olive’s celebration was held at Alba’s Restaurant in Tomas Morato. The food was great and the dessert, oh my, really yummy. They served Brazo de Mercedes, banana cream pie and mango tart. I was able to have a few bites of everything (thank you JJ) and I would have loved to have more but I had to stop since I am trying to reduce my sugar intake. JJ kept on telling me, “Sandali na lang naman. Tiis ka na muna.” It was fun to see Kuya Larry’s little girls again and do they love to pose for pictures J

Cutie pie sisters, Laura Mae and Lily Anne

After lunch, we rushed to Muntinlupa to attend my nephew Miggy’s first birthday party. We arrived just in time for the kiddie party. My sister-in-law prepared the kiddie meals herself and commissioned Queensland Catering for the ‘adult’ food. JJ and I weren’t able to eat that much as we were still full from the buffet we had at lunch. But I had the chance to taste the food when I had dinner. I loved the liempo and the chicken pastel dishes.

The guapito birthday boy, Juan Miguel.

And that is how our weekend went by. Oh, and one last thing, Baby Lucas got a gift again that day. My Tita Blyn bought a Graco Play Pen for him. (Thanks Lola Tita By).
