Jenny left for Canada once again to finish her masters. This time, she'll be staying longer, compared to her 4months stay and have to go home for the holidays.
We had early dinner with the family then Mommy and I saw her off at the airport.
Summer were crying all the time from the airport all the way to our subdivision, about 20minutes ride or more - due to heavy traffic. She wanted to stay with her Ninang Jenny. Actually, more of wanting to take the airplane ride. So much for a jet setter.
We pacified her with a sundae from Jollibee.

Feast of Nazareno
Nazareno is our patron from the chapel supported by the family at Hagonoy, Bulacan.
We attended the feast with Omar's friends - Bong and Boss Jojo. We attended the 9am mass, had food marathon with my relatives - eating lunch twice, and went back to Manila to work.
There were so much people at the patio of the chapel. We did not join the pagoda anymore and did not wait for the procession in the afternoon.
Aside from asking for blessings for the family and loved ones and for a safe, normal, and healthy pregnancy and baby, we thanked Him for the countless blessings He's been constantly providing us.
Viva Nazareno!

Yaya-less
Just when school day is about to start again after the holidays, my yaya asked permission for a week-long vacation. How could I say no?
The nanny left Sunday afternoon and will be back Monday morning.
It felt like we are at the US or Canada, living without a nanny. I prepare the breakfast, do the dishes, Omar feeds and bathe Summer, I dress her up, prepare her bags for the day, and leave for work with Summer, prepare dinner when we get home, do the dishes, clean Summer, and go to bed.
Tiring. Bonding moments. Cherished moments. Limited activities. Thankful for the yaya - for being around and for being out for a while. Very thankful to Omar for the help.
I was able to wean Summer from the bottle. Yun nga lang, no formula din. As she only take fresh milk from the glass or from the tetra pack. She wouldn't take her formula in a glass. She is easier to feed during meal times, I suppose due to less milk intake.
Surviving.

Gasp!
Jenny longed wanted us to have the ends of our hair permed. She planned to have it when she gets back this Christmas. I asked for restrictions from my ob-gyne and got a go signal.
So we went to Binondo, as referred by her college friend, whom Jenny loves the permed hair so much. Unfortunately, at the last minute, her friend cannot join us for some reason. Unfortunately, again, the people at the salon are authentic Chinese - very poor English, better Tagalog. So it was more on sign language.
The instruction was to have curls at the ends of our hair and pointing to a photo with full permed hair - not like that.
Result: they only retained the ends from the roots straight and the rest permed. They must not hear the word NOT when pointing to the photo, thus getting a fully permed hair.
No, I wouldn't post a photo. Not yet. I'll wait till it grows long. But it's a big change, a big change!

Colder than HongKong
We brought Tita Nil and Benjie to Baguio to help them adjust to our weather.
We left Bulacan after lunch and Summer and I rode with Kuya. Omar wasn't able to join us as he needs to look after the shop since he was already out since Christmas. I brought a single size blanket since Summer is not used to using one even in an air-conditioned room. But on our first night, we were so cold, Summer grabbed the blanket all to herself. Literally, natuto kaming mamuluktot sa maigsing kumot.
We spent our second day lazing around. Had breakfast, watched dvd, had lunch, went out to Mine's View and Good Shepherds, played at Camp John Hay, heard mass at Baguio Cathedral, had dinner at Don H and went home.
We went home the following day at 4am.
It was short but enough to gain back our energy after the holidays. I like the weather. It was really cold! Brrrrr!!!!!

Year 2008
We welcomed Year 2008 with a BANG!
Tita Nil and Benjie arrived from Canada the day before to celebrate new year with us. It's Benjie's second new year here in the Philippines. He had never seen so much fireworks in his lifetime. Kuya and Omar brought him to Quezon City and Bocaue to buy fireworks.
Last 2 new years were celebrated at Canada so we really had fun having a loud new year once again.
We had so much food! We had palabok, lasagne, ensaymada, turkey, ham, korean style barbecue with kimchi and lettuce, and lots of desserts.
Summer had fun watching the lights, a little scared of the loud noise. She loved blowing her torotot. And Summer jumped at 12midnight. Hope she'll grow tall.
Happy New Year everyone!
