New Year's Day 2011

 djoraine, rome, kakai and ate irene

We had grilled seafood on for lunch on New Year's day. Everybody took turn in grilling the food.

 It's kinda sad that not everyone made it, specially kuya and the kids but it was a fun day anyway. Lots of singing, laughing and eating!

 Lunch was wonderful! Check out our food photos here.

 It was singing time in the afternoon. I didn't sing. I have such a horrible voice.LOL!

We also watched some old videos of  family gatherings and laughed at old versions of ourselves. It was such a fun New year's day. Next year, I promise I'm gonna wear polka dots!

New Year's Eve 2011

me, Rome and my niece djoraine

Hello 2011. What a fun New Year's Eve we had.

Me, ykaie, my nephew kakai, my niece djoraine and Tita Becka

We had sparklers........

and trumpets dahil takot naman kami maputukan at syempre dahil mas maraming bata sa amin.

Ang goal dito sa isang picture sa kaliwa ay Angel Wings.......kaya lang nagmukha yata akong patsotsay na dalawa ang pakpak

Tatay {my dad} and me

After the sparklers and all the laughters outside, we finally came inside to eat. This is our dinner table. Click here for the food close-up.

It was wine time after dinner. Truth is, I don't really drink I'm just learning how to appreciate wines and other drinks with alcohol. Cheers! The one we had was really sweet and has the flavor of mixed berries.

 Then it was finally time for the after-dinner-kulitan.....Ykaie was tired by this time and wanted to sleep already so she wasn't able to join in the fun!

 The Rome & Peach background pose.....hahahaha....permanenteng pose na ba ito?

I had a great New Year's eve celebration and hopefully, I'm starting it right with lots of energy, enthusiasm and love♥. Have a great 2011 everyone!

Gabbie's 1st Birthday

The kids wore their Dora outfits to match the theme...

Mann Hann with Nanay, Kuya, Ate and the kids...

...and so we were out again. This time napilit ko sumama si ate. At dahil ayaw nya naman magpa-picture, ako na lang ang kasama sa pictures..yehey!!! Reason why we are out??Bumili si nanay ng sidecar para kay Ykaie at Cyra.

Lunch was at Mann Hann. Sa wakas natupad din ang gusto ni Madir na hindi natupad the last time we went out dahil sobrang dami ng waiting. Mann Hann is nanay's current favorite restaurant.

"Ang tagal naman ng pagkain!" yan yata ang dahilan kung bakit nakasibangot si Cyvrine.

Pancit Canton {P245}

This is nanay's favorite among the noodles....

Spicy Spareribs {P250}

Another favorite of hers...

Fish Fillet with Broccoli Flower {P250}

This is my favorite...aside from sweet and sour dishes....

Taosi Fish Fillet {P250}

Truth is, the service was really bad  nung kumain kami. Hindi sabay-sabay dumating ang pagkain at yung Fried Chicken na supposedly food ng 4 kids, hindi nailuto, I had to cancel it dahil kumain din naman sila nung in-order naming ibang dishes.Isa pa tapos na din kami kumain, hindi pa dumadating.

After lunch, syempre more pictures and kiddie rides! I wish every sunday's like this..

Day Out with Nanay,Kuya and the Kids

Cyra, Ykaie, Thea and Chellie - Minsan lang magkasama-sama ang mga magpipinsang ito na mamasyal kaya naman super enjoy sila last Sunday.

Gusto sana ni mudra na mag-lunch sa Mann Hann kaya lang since linggo yon ay hanggang baclaran ang pila ng waiting. Nuknukan ang dami ng tao. Ang mga bituka namin ay gutom na at di na kayang magtiis, kaya nag-Pizza  Hut na lang kami...hahaha. Syempre pa, nanginain kami ng Super Supreme Star Pops Pizza at Roasted Chicken.

Ang mga bata kahihina kumain.Halos kami lang din ang kumain ng mga in-order.

Nanay with Chellie and Thea

After lunch came ang favorite part ng mga kids --kiddie rides!! Super enjoy ang mga kids at super pagod ang mommy/tita {ako yon}. Nakakalurky pala ang mag-karag ng apat na bata! Pag- uwi namin parang ayoko ng gumalaw.
Wala ako sa picture kase isa sa duty ko ang maging camerawoman photographer for the day.

Grandparents are parents with extra frosting...

Lunch time at Max's - Lunch was Kare-Kare, Sweet and Sour Fish Fillet and of course, Max Fried Chicken. I tried and kept myself from taking food pictures today. Si Ykaie, bitin yata sa tulog nya at may toyo. First time nakita nila mama na kapag umiiyak si ykaie ay tinitingnan nya ang sarili nya sa salamin. Nakakaloka...artista??

We were supposed to watch a movie kaya lang wala pang new movies that day. We ended up taking ykaie for rides.

To the bat mobile!!

Bagay sa kanya itong ride na ito,no??

The Carousel is Ykaie's favorite ride...

Father's Day 2010

It's so sad that we won't be able to celebrate father's Day this year with peanutbutter♥. I am so happy that peanutbutter♥ is the one I'm sharing parenthood with. He is such a good father and a gem of a husband.

Ykaie and her daddy has such a strong bond and share a few characteristics....

They love the water..

They both love animals...

They're both Balut lovers...

They are both cheerful..

and they both have" TOYO".

They are the SUNSHINES of my life.  I always thank the Lord for giving me such a good husband and the perfect father for my daughter. So to the man I love♥ and my daughter's Daddy....

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY!

--------------------♥♥♥---------------------

To my TATAY and my FIL, to my Kuya, and to all the fathers I know......

HAPPY FATHER'S DAY TO YOU!!

Sky Garden Safari Adventure

We decided to go to the Sky Garden Safari Adventure again, with my niece and nephews this time.

I was able to take photos of some of the animal exhibits that I wasn't able to take photos of nung si Ykaie lang ang kasama.

My nephew Eio thought that the crocs were real...

The Sky Garden Safari Adventure is open to everyone until May 31, 2010.
