Halloween Day

It is Summer's first time to attend a Halloween party. Her cousin, Julian, invited her to join him in his school's Halloween Party. She came in her bumblebee costume - thanks to Lola Olive who generously bought it just for her with matching pumpkin bag. She also wore this when we attended a costume birthday party of my Ninong at Bulacan. Omar and I went as Muslim couple.
I love her smile!

Daddy and Lolo

What's with the grandfathers? They always feed my baby.

I cherish these sweet moments my fathers are giving my baby.

Thank you Daddy! Thank you Papa!

The Farmer in the Dell

My dad is a farmer.

He plants from palay to vegetables to ornamental plants. He raises cow, pig, chicken, quail, geese, turkey, horse, and fish - tilapia, bangus, sugpo, koi. He dreams to see his grandchildren picking up eggs of chicken or quail at the farm. But his ever 'sossy' and 'maarteng' apo find the farm smell so stinky that they refuse to visit the farm.

Here are photos of his babies at the farm:

I use these photos to introduce animals to Summer. I hope to bring her there someday for a field trip.

Day dreaming no more

After years of his working experience in the industry, after taking courage to finally executing his dream, after much hard work of looking around for a place, for constructing his plan, for finding the right equipments, finally, my husband's dream came true!

Karcraft Autoworks Co., Inc. finally opened its doors to the public on July 19, 2006. The shop is offering underchassis, mechanical, engine, body paint and restoration, accessories, wheel alignment and camber correction, aircon, electrical, detailing, and car accessories. It is located along West Ave. and open from Mondays to Saturdays at 9:00am to 6:00pm.


I was so excited to see my little girl in our shop. This is totally dedicated for her. She was wearing her authentic Chon sam dress which her ninang jenny brought for her from Shanghai, China. She entertained everybody and stayed up until the end.

Pearl Farm Day

The so much awaited part of the year - the summer get-away with the whole family. This time, we decided to go to Davao, and this time Summer will be going with us. I know how tough to tag along a baby when travelling but the trip won't be as happy and as memorable without her.

I wanted so much to bring everything for her. I brought 1 life vest and 1 life ring with a roof - para di umitim, for her. I even brought lots of chips - I know bad mommy, chocolates, and even C2! My siblings were all surprised with what I brought. And of course, the sunblock! - 1 for Summer, 1 for the body, and another for the face. I even bought Summer's own trolley kahit medyo hassle kasi may times na ayaw maghila, kaya 2 pa bitbit ko, pero okay lang cute naman sya sa picture e.

Our family took 2 separate flights and ours was the first to arrived Davao. We waited for them at the airport. It wasn't Summer's first time to take the plane, she just slept the flight through. We had picture taking at the airport while waiting.


The transfer took us from the airport to their pier. Another photo session for us. Then we had a boat ride - a first for Summer but not scary at all, even refused to hold hands with us and would love to stand in the middle - pasaway talaga!

Syempre mga gutom na, we had our breakfast pa, then started unpacking for our 3-day vacation. We had our first dip in the swimming pool, and after lunch, off we go to bed. It was too hot to swim anyway. We were set to go to the other island at 4pm but Summer and I was just so dead tired that we did not join them anymore.


The following day, we were set to go island hopping. I did not join them in the water. Summer and I just have to stay at the boat and take their photos. At ang cool! May shopping kahit sa gitna ng dagat, at pwede pa utang! Who would bring money in an island hopping tour? We can just pay daw when we get back to the resort.

Back at the resort, after taking our nap, we had our banana boat ride! Mine just have to be slow since I cannot afford to take a dip in the water.

For our last day, we left the resort early even with our afternoon flight so we could take a city tour of Davao. The place is so clean. Syempre ang una, shopping! We were able to buy, this time a family terno shirts, not only his and hers and baby's too. We then went to the Eagle Zoo. It was Summer's first time to visit a zoo. We even had picture taking with a snake and she was not scared at all.

The trip was quick and nice. Looking forward to our next summer get-away! Saan naman kaya kami?

First Hair Cut

With my baby's thin hair, a lot of people were telling me to shave my baby's hair so it would grow thick. I was trying to delay her first haircut since I wanted it long, I am just so excited to fix her hair.


One afternoon in May, my mom asked me to bring Summer to the nearby parlor at the hotel for Summer's haircut. It was so hot and I agreed, oh no!

She always see my mom in the parlor so she was not scared at all. She prettily agreed to sit on her own and was curious with all the hands touching her hair.



I sat her on my lap and they used electric razor and a good girl that she was, she did not cry. She just cried at the end out of boredom. My baby so active, couldn't sit still in a minute or more.

Now, I have a baby boy.

Eating on her own

On her first year and 1month, my baby loves eating on her own.

It was too early but I just have to get my camera and capture this moment.

She loves her minnie mouse feeding set.
