Tito Ben in Manila

Tito Ben, from Canada, arrived in Manila last week to visit his sick brother in Baguio. He'll be staying here in the country for 10 days only.

He went back to Manila 2days before his flight back to Canada. Daddy toured him around in their projects for the rest of his stay here and was able to sneak in a coffee at Starbucks for him at Magallanes. This is the only photo opportunity we had with him.Sadly, his brother died a day before his flight back and cannot go back to Baguio anymore.

Harry Potter

We saw Harry Potter yesterday with Summer.

It was her second time in a theater but her first to watch a movie. I'm not sorry I brought her even if it was hard and she did not watch at all.

Good thing we reserved seats at sureseats.com for the line was very long. It wasn't easy bringing Summer in the movie - there were times she would say her prayers (madilim kasi akala nya matutulog na), she would tap her cousins' heads who were sitting right in front of us, sing happy birthday and makulay ang buhay (must be out of boredom), say she would go pee or poo just to be able to go out (buti na lang sinuotan ko ng diapers). But overall, I found her okay for a first-timer. She did not cry or throw a tantrum.

Sa susunod kasi, dapat sa pang toddler na movie ko sya dalhin hehehe.

Birthdays! Birthdays!

Happy birthday Kuya Olejoe!

Kuya olejoe treated us for lunch and pm snack. We had binagoongan, inihaw na tilapia and liempo, nilagang okra and talong for lunch. For snacks, we had pancit and cake.


Happy birthday Paeng!

Paeng treated us for a pizza at Yellow Cab. We had 2 pizzas, spaghetti, spicy chicken pasta, hotwings, and ice cream. So yummy!Thank you for the treats! Happy birthday!

Pamamanhikan

We went to Carla's (my BIL Odie's girlfriend) house at Antipolo for pamamanhikan. The whole family of Reantaso came without the apos, Lolo Fidel, Tito Etoy, and Tito Tany and Tita Susan.We brought lots of food - salad, pasta, crab, prawns, mechado, chicken, mango and buko pandan. We had prayers for Odie and Carla, dinner, with Papa asking permission from Carla's parents for Odie to wed Carla, wishes for Carla and Odie - iyakan, and blessing from Tito Ito and Tita Cata - Carla's parents.They have a nice house with antique furnitures at Antipolo. The place was cozy and fresh with lots of trees surrounding the area and not a house next to theirs. Their family was funny too and loud. They even gave away books of Purpose Driven Life to everyone who attended the Pamanhikan.It will be a Christian wedding on November. We are Catholic while Carla's family are Christians.

A week after...

A week after, my mom brought Summer to Jollibee - ang daming chaperone! Kuya's family, me and Omar, and Jenny.

It so happened that there was a birthday party going on and Jollibee was there. This time, Summer waved hi and did not even cry when Jollibee approached her and had their picture taken peacefully. Though, di pa rin sya bumaba sa pagkakandong nya sa Papa nya. Still, it was an improvement.I'm a brave girl after all.

Jollibee

Summer loves Jollibee! - or so I thought! I knew because she loves her Jollibee VCDs.

We attended Luis' 2nd birthday party at Jollibee. I was so excited for it will be Summer's first time to meet her favorite - Jollibee!But to my surprise, she was so scared to the mascot! She hugged her Papa tightly and refused to be with me since she knew I will bring her to Jollibee.
The usual, she did not join with the games, ate a little, and had fun playing at the playground with her cousin, Jaja. Mas nageenjoy anak ko sa debut kesa sa kiddie parties. Should I be worried? hehehe

First Household Chore

This is Summer's first household chore - removing Papa's socks after work.
