SHARING

I attended a baptism in Bulacan with my parents, yaya ("nanny") and my parents' officemates. In Bulacan! That's an entirely different province, right beside Manila. A baby boy named Gabe Lapuz got baptized today - he's the son of my Papu and Mamu's officemate, Tita Shar. We missed the church ceremony but headed over to the reception. Papu and Mamu sat with the adults for a bit, and my yaya and I stayed in a room filled with other yayas and babies. It was quite a hot day - all of us babies stayed in an air-conditioned guest room while the old folks mingled outside in the garden. My yaya got all snippy with the yaya of another baby - this little girl kept grabbing my toys and stuffing them in her mouth. Her yaya said very loudly to quit doing it because my toys were dirty! Harrrumph! My yaya was miffed and told her off. Hah! Dirty indeed!

My Aunt Karol Zablan, Uncle Jovy Zablan, and Ate ("big sister") Ava got me that tee!

My Ninong ("godfather") Monzit and Tita Karla got me that cool bib!

I prefer playing by myself at this point - hello, I'm only 8.5 months old!

In a bed in a room full of babies.

(See the little girl at the left? Those are my toys she's eating!!!)

I didn't really mind lending my toys to another baby!

As you can see, I was still all smiles!

A DAY OF FIRSTS

Whoa! What a crazy busy day I had with my parents! We were zooming from one end of the metropolis to the other! First, we hied off to Filinvest to attend a wedding reception at Vivere Suites. My dad's secretary got hitched! This was also the first ever wedding I attended. So in honor of the occasion - I wore loafers, teehee. My grandmother Luli bought me "almost shoes" socks! They are so comfy and go with most of my new shorts, yey! My Ninang ("godmother") Anna Devanadera got me that pique shirt and checkered shorts - thank you!!! After the wedding, we hurried off to Bonifacio High Street -to pick up a present in the mammoth book store there, Fully Booked. I had to buy a gift - we attended my first ever birthday party that afternoon! (I also had to change my shirt - my Tita Trina Garcia and Tito Jang Moreno got me that blue tee!). It was the 1st birthday party of Tomas, the son of my Papu's college friend. It was also the first time I've ever been to Jollibee - this major fastfood chain that kids love here in the Philippines. I think every kid's childhood here is just not complete without that big orange bug!!!

ALL "RIGHT" IN IKEA

My parents seem to like looking at furniture and stuff for our house. Yawn. We visited a store with Ikea stuff this Sunday with my Oma, Opa and Auntie Mandi. Here I am all sprawled out on an Ikea armchair, in the onesie my Tita Ria Alazas gave me, and those furry little shoes my Oma bought me. They are made of blue velvet and look like winter slippers for "lolos" ("grandfathers" in English!). You watch, I have a lot of "lolo" shoes. Note the hearts on my socks (from my Luli). Groan. Blue hearts on my socks. My Mamu is killing me. (At least she brought me a more macho bib, a gift from my Tita Karla and Ninong Monzit, thank goodness for them, hehe). And am I allowed to lie on that chair to begin with?!
