The hermano for the year's Feast of St. Anne is Tito Pining and his family. Tito Pining is the eldest brother of Daddy. All the siblings are abay. But since Mom and Dad are at Canada, Kuya and I are tasked to represent them.Mom just instructed me to dress up, prepare a donation, and offer it during the holy mass. But she did not tell me that we would have to join the procession. The procession followed right after the mass, just before noon. So it was really hot and the route was long and we were dressed in gown and wearing heels. Still, we survived the procession.
We then went to Tito Pining's house for the final event - lunch! I was too tired to take photos. I loved the lechon! That's fiesta!

A trip at Museo Pambata
Summer had her first field trip for the school year at Museo Pambata.
We did not join the school on our way to and from the museum, but brought our car instead. We joined the school's convoy. And since we will be heading straight to Bulacan after the field trip, Winter and Ate Cory joined us as well.Summer had fun running around the museum with her friends.Winter went on his own too.It was just tiring taking photos and running after Summer while carrying Winter, even if I had Ate Cory with me. But looking at the kids could ease some, not all!, tiredness away.
Museo Pambata, generally, is a good place to bring the kids. They have around 6rooms and kid-friendly guides as well. I witnessed too how Summer, even if she's too amazed with all the new activities around her, can get herself to listen to the guide, follow, and try to be the first in line. It was educational, not just for Summer, not just for Winter, but for me too.

For Baby Lisa.
It was just like months ago when we had a welcome dinner for Lisa and now it's despedida dinner, still for her. Lisa's bound for Netherlands to follow her heart.
We had dinner at Dampa at Ortigas. We were a lot and we were surely loud. We just love to eat.
Actually, ginawa lang excuse ang despedida ni Lisa. Gusto lang talaga namin kumain. Hmmm... ano naman kaya ang susunod naming excuse to get to eat together again.

Winter's 11th.
Dinner with Kuya.
Kuya hosted dinner for the Canadians. They just came from the airport from their Bohol Trip and tomorrow, they will be going back to the airport for their Boracay trip. Good thing, we are just around 15 minutes ride to the airport.
It was Mommy's and Daddy's last dinner with us before they head back to Canada for their 2-month trip.
I bought cakes - ube and mango rolls - something rare or expensive if bought from Canada hehehe.

Fluvial parade.
Feast of St. Anne is coming. At least a week before the feast day, a fluvial parade is being done in honor of St. Anne, participated by the whole town of Hagonoy. Our family would participate bringing the Nazareno with us.
But the water of Hagonoy is not as good as before, during the times of my Dad, where water was clear and they could catch baby lobster and fish from the water. They weren't able to preserve it like the Boholanos did with their Loboc River.
I just came for the send off. I did not join this time. The last time I joined 2 years ago, I got a zit on my face even before I debarked the boat that day. But the Canadians joined. They don't do this in Canada. Sure they go to the lake on Summer but they don't do parade where passengers of each participating boat would throw water on you to get wet.
It was a new experience for them I'm sure they wouldn't want to do again hehee. But that was fun, it's just that the water is not that clean for me. It could be your sacrifice for Mother Mary.

Food trip again.
Tagaytay, to me, is becoming synanimous to the word 'FOOD'. My last 2 visits were purely food trips!
We brought the family of Tita Juliet to Tagaytay on a stormy day. It was foggy, zero visibility, so rainy and so windy. But the trip was worth it with all the food stops.
First stop was the arroz caldo at the Golf Club House at Tagaytay Midlands. It's my Dad's favorite every time he plays golf there.
Second stop was the Good Shepherds. Afraid to get hungry, we bought food for to go. Kidding! Jasmine just loves ube!
Third stop was Sonya's Garden. The choice was between steak of Antonio's or salad of Sonya's. Who would choose veggies over steak, right? But we were just full, we do not have space for meat so the oldies opted for veggies instead.
If we were with Benjie, we would still stop for Bulalo. But Tita Juliet's family just have tiny stomach, they eat like birds that I look like a dragon eating. I do not know if there's something wrong with them or with me.
I wish to go back to Tagaytay again - this time with Kuya and Omar hahahha!

I'm coming out!
Winter's tooth is finally coming out!Last week, he had a fever. I was hoping because of his erupting tooth. He's 10months already and it is only now that his tooth are coming out. My pedia gave me until he turned 1year and 2months and if his tooth does not come out yet, we will have his blood test for his thyroid.
You can't just see it yet from this photo but his gums is cutting already. Woohoo!
