Mom and Dad just left for their month-long vacation at Canada to visit Jenny, who's taking her masters of law at U of T.
Mom initially wanted to go on a business class but learning from Jenny that her graduation will be on November, she decided to go on economy instead and go back again on November. Sayang din daw ang pamasahe.
But on their flight from HongKong to Toronto, Daddy texted us that they were upgraded to business class for free!!!! From seat number 58 to seat number 15! And this is not the first time it happened to them. Lucky!!!
Then I remembered receiving an email from Asia Miles showing us the improved business class cabin of Cathay Pacific.
Ang lakas mag-pray ni Mommy! Getting a business class on their long haul trip and paying the economy class rate. Sulit na ang pamasahe!

First Home Work
Summer went home with her first ever home work. She did not bring home any home works last school year.
She's starting to write her name already hehehe. Though, when I get home, Ate Cory already helped her with her home work.

Asian Treasures
As previously mentioned from my other post, Mom just came from her 9-day asian tour last Saturday. They went to Vietnam, Cambodia, and Bangkok. Kung hindi lang ako buntis, kasama dapat ako dun e, alalay hehehe.
Anyways, we had lots of pasalubongs from her!
Summer got 4pairs of slippers/shoes, 2 pieces of character toothbrush, a blouse, a pajama set, a dress and a molding toy that you can form into different shapes.
Winter got 3pairs of shoes, 2 sets of white tie side shirt with pajamas (may going home outfit na kami), and 2 sets of jumpsuits.
I got 3 maternity blouse, a pair of shoes, and a bag on their way home (nasa door to door pa e).
Omar got a shirt.
Thank you Mommy! Masarap din ang iwan kasi maraming pasalubong!

Happy Birthday Tita Simang!
It was Thursday afternoon when Tita called me to cook dishes for her birthday on Sunday. Not that I'll be the one cooking, but people from the coffee shop. Then, she'll hold her party at our place na daw.
Nag-panic agad ako!!! The family are not good cooks but they are definitely food critics. For every occasion, Mommy would set a menu just for the family and will not get from the prepared menu selections of the coffee shop. And Mom was at Bangkok when Tita called me up. Party is on Sunday lunch, Mom's coming back on Saturday, and I have to do the marketing on Friday. So I prepared a flexible menu, and will be waiting for Mom's approval come Saturday. Scheduled menu was suam na mais, lengua estofado, pork caldereta, chicken teriyaki, inihaw na tilapia with steamed okra and eggplant with bagoong, laing, sotanghon, buko pandan and chilled fruit cocktail, and black gulaman for drinks. Pasado naman ang menu ko. Mom just changed the inihaw na tilapia to fried tilapia and the chilled fruit cocktail to ginataang mais. Mom added paksiw na bangus, steamed tilapia, sapin sapin and bibingka.
The family are big eaters and they ate a lot. Patok naman ang menu namin. Tita brought shrimps so we had a lot of take home pa.
Happy naman ang birthday celebrant and her family. Syempre ang guests din happy!
Summer had fun playing around with her cousins. She loved the cake! She ate a lot of cake - a serving of chocolate cake and a lot of serving of sansrival.
I just have to post a photo of what she was wearing that day. It's not new but I can just see myself in her that day. Wearing rubber shoes, denim skirt, and still running around like a boy.
Happy birthday Tita! Salamat po sa tiwala nyo sa akin for preparing the menu for the family na mahirap pakainin ehehehe.

Weather forecast
Not really the weather's, but my seasons - my coming baby Winter.
I went to see my OB last Tuesday but she was at the delivery room. After waiting for an hour, she called up her secretary to tell me to have my lunch first since her patient hasn't given birth yet. So I decided to just go back on Thursday.
It was one of my longest check-up with her. Not that there was something wrong, I just have lots of questions in mind - parang 1st born ulit hehehe. And a few reminders since I am not allowed to give birth between July 11 and 22, not that it is my due date since I am due on August, for she'll be going out of the country.
Baby's fine, head down, mataas pa daw sya, heart beat was okay, and 3days advance in size based from my last ultrasound.
I can give birth daw as early as August 14. Yikes! Di pa rin ako ready! Summer is not yet ready to be an ate!

No raising of hands.
Did Summer go to school today? Summer raise your hand!
Summer did not raise her hand at school when they sang for their attendance song. Summer did not go to school today.
Summer's sick. Over the weekend, she had a runny nose. On Sunday, she was starting to cough. This morning, she had a slight fever.
Omar talked to her that she cannot go to school because she's sick or else her classmates might be sick too. She agreed, though she was asking us to stay with her =(. But I can't! I have work to do and no one else can do it. My mom is not here.
Just before 9am, I received a text message from the head teacher of Summer's school asking how's Summer's finger. I told her it turned black and asked her what happened. Turned out that one of the boys closed the door of the rest room while Summer's finger was still at it. They have a rubber stopper for the door but other kids played with it. She assured me that they already talked to the kids.
I told her that Summer's absent due to slight fever because of her colds and cough, and not because of her black thumb. I said it's okay, mga bata yun e. Sana lang they would be careful next time.
Akala nya siguro susugurin ko sila hehehe tsaka di ko pinapasok anak ko dahil sa accident. Ayaw ko naman kasi maging over protective sa baby ko. Kahit naman nasa labas sya ng school, kung maaaksidente, maaaksidente. I want her to be strong. Kaya naman nya i-protect sarili nya e. Soon, she would have to learn to protect not just herself, but her coming baby brother. Am I too early not to protect her? Stage mom na nga ako e, magiging over protective pa.
