The Journey Continues...

I’ve been posting about my recent activities that I was not able to post anything about Lance anymore. So here it goes:

• He now weighs 9.8kgs and is 75.5cms in length
• He doesn’t drink any vitamins but thank God he’s healthy
• He can now stand by holding onto something, the frame of our bed, his crib, the pillows, wall, etc. I cannot leave him alone on his crib anymore since he might fall from there as well.
• He can also stand from lying down when you hold on to his hands. As in ang bilis makatayo.
• He also says dadada, dedede, tatata, tetete, bababa, mmmmaaaaa, ggggggg, gghhsss, hehehe! I don’t know what that means but that’s what he often says.
• He sits by himself also and can crawl easily.
• He jumps up and down when you put him on your lap.
• His two central lower incisors can be seen already and his upper incisors about to erupt
• He has long hair and is always mistaken for a girl.
• His favorite foods are: carrots, potatoes, squash, apples and pears.
• He doesn’t like eating cerelac that much. Prefers to eat real food.
• He’s so active that he bumps his head sometimes.
• He likes to read books and stares at pictures.
• He likes to watch shampoo commercials (as in he will stop playing when it’s shown on tv)
  

That’s all I can remember for now. Time flies really fast, my Lance is growing up. I always thank God for our son and for making him healthy and normal. Lance will turn 8 months this Sunday and I hope he continues to develop accordingly.

This is a long over due post. I want to show pictures kasi of the couple and I just got hold of it last week. Hehe! Anyway, my good friend Papung and her then fiancée Marris got married last March 31 at the National Shrine of the Sacred Heart in Makati.

I’ve known Papung since grade school and he was then a very shy type person. When we became close after graduating from college, I realized that he’s a very funny guy and was not really shy type at all. Marunong palang manligaw ang lolo! Hehe! He met Marris at AMCI and climbing the mountains made them a couple and the rest they say is history.

I am really happy for him for finding the love of his life. Congrats and Best wishes! God bless!

My cousins and I went to Pagsanjan, Laguna to experience what they call “Shooting the Rapids”. Whenever our cousins from the states are here, we make it appoint to try something different during their stay here. This is just one of the examples. It’s a first for all of us to try “shooting the rapids”.

Early Thursday morning, we drove to Hotel La Corona de Pagsanjan and when we got there, we made arrangements right away to go to the falls. The trip to Pagsanjan Falls is known as shooting the rapids. There’ll be two to three tourists (in our case, just me and my cousin, and our other cousins on the other boat) riding the boat together with two boatmen who will paddle and sometimes “lift” the boat upstream against the strong current. When not in the rapids, we sometimes have to synchronize our position to maintain balance. It was really one heck of a ride. The boatmen were so good and so strong that they can literally lift the boat. I think we passed by 12-16 rapids before reaching the end. And upon reaching the last major waterfalls, we transferred to a bamboo raft that took us through the cascading water to a hidden cave. This was also a thrill for we felt the gush of the Pagsanjan Falls to our body that upon getting back to the shore, we felt we had a full body hydro massage. Hehe!

I really had fun and it was a nice experience. Too bad lang Paul was not with us when we went there. Next trip I’m looking forward to is whitewater rafting at Cagayan De Oro. Wonder when will that be?
