First Household Chore

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

Barney

Summer and her new blankie from Baguio. Kaya lang everytime she sees it, she sings 'makulay... ang buhay... sa sinabawang gulay!" Di na nakita si Barney, ang garden ang nakita =)

Elmer, my cousin, is getting married on January.
Harry, my cousin, is getting married 5days after Elmer's wedding.

Christmas parties, family reunions, and the holidays!

I have to start trimming down. I started doing my taebo again this Monday. I started to eat quaker oats for breakfast this morning, in support to Omar's strict diet and my way of trimming down. And I will try my best not to eat rice on dinner.

I have to post this. This will motivate me to continue what I started - kailangan pangatawanan.

No Salt, No Oil, No Alcohol

190/120 - that was Omar's BP yesterday. He's been complaining for headaches for the past few days.

We went to his doctor for his check-up. Omar had his tests done in the morning before going to his doctor. His scores were too high, he'd be a summa cum laude if it could have been school grades.

He has high cholesterol, scoring 7 with 4 as normal. His doctor cannot give him medicines to help bring down his cholesterol since his sgpt was 107 where 30+ is normal. And the side effect of medicines for cholesterol will hit his liver and will worsen his sgpt. He was prescribed strict diet to bring down his cholesterol level - no salt and no oil. And no alcohol to bring down his sgpt. He was also given medicines for his hypertension.

So we're back to Omar's diet 2years ago. Oatmeal without milk, no sugar, no salt for breakfast, vegetable salad with vinegar dressing for lunch, and inihaw na fish without salt for dinner. Wawa naman Omar.

First at Amici

After hearing a lot of good reviews about this Italian restaurant at Don Bosco Makati, we finally got to eat there.

It was Kuya's and Ate Bing's anniversary and mommy invited everyone for dinner, her treat. We then decided to try Amici. We had pasta, pizza, and gelato. I love their Toblerone gelato. Yummy!!! Ang papanget namin sa pics, ang iitim! hehehehe

Thanks mommy!

14years at Batangas

It will be my brother's 14th wedding anniversary on the 26th and he celebrated it with his family at Batangas. Syempre sabit kami!

We left our house at Paranaque at 6:30am on June 23. We had breakfast at Jollibee at Lemery town. Then, off we went to Dive and Trek.

We parked at the Lemery Parking of Dive and Trek. We took a 15minute boat ride to the resort.

When we got to the resort, we were given our temporary room, went snorkelling, had our lunch, and went snorkelling again. We were then transferred to our room after lunch.We were served merienda in the afternoon, had our siesta, then kain ulit ng dinner. We spent the night drinking and singing.The following day, we went snorkelling again after having our breakfast, had our rest, and checked out at 1pm.Thanks ot Kuya for inviting us to join them. Thanks too to Jerome, my sister's former officemate, for the suman. Yummy! Happy anniversary Kuya!

This was Summer's 3rd trip for the month. Di naman sya lakwatsera.
