Cranky Lancie

I always look forward to weekends for that’s when I get to take care of and play with Lance. Last weekend was kinda difficult and tiring for me because Lance was cranky. Maybe it’s because he’s teething or maybe because he hasn’t pooped since Friday. Poor Lance.

He doesn’t want to stay in his crib and he doesn’t want to sleep. He just wants me to carry him all day long. Not that I’m complaining. I just realized I need to work out more for I need the strength to carry all day a 10kg baby. Lolz.

Good thing though was since he was tired during the day, he slept through the night and I was able to rest. Also he does not have fever. I just hope he won’t catch any and I hope he’ll poop na today. Wawa naman Lance eh. :(

Lance at 7 months

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.

Papung and Marris Wedding

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!

Side A


It was nice to see and hear Side A again after some time. My cousins and I went to Hard Rock Café Makati last May 11 to watch their show. My balikbayan cousin is a Side A fan and requested that we watch them kaya off we go to Hard Rock.

As always, Side A never fails to amuse me with their music. And of course, Joey Benin is still cute. Hehe! I just find Joey Generoso kinda weird. He sort of changed his style because when he was performing, he looked like he’s possessed. Hehe! It doesn’t look cheap though but weird, or maybe I’m just not used to him being like that. That was also the first time I saw them with their new lead guitarist Lee Von. At first, he seems nervous when he sang his solo but as the show went on; he got the hang of it and performed really well. Galing mag-gitara!!!

They sang most of their hit songs and they also did a medley on Queen and when they sang Bohemian Rhapsody, wow! Ang galing!!! It rocked the house down! Obvious bang fan ako? Hehe! We sure had a great time and we’re hoping to see them again soon. :)

Shooting The Rapids



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?

Kuya Otep and Ate Jane's Wedding


My cousin Jane got married last Saturday, May 5 at Santuario de San Jose in Greenhills and had their reception at Oasis. My cousin is one hell of a singer and she met Otep at the band where she belongs and Otep was then the new guitarist. Their love for music brought them together and their wedding shows how they really love music.

Ate Jane sang her personal vow during the wedding. The band where they belong performed at the reception and their guest performer was Noel Cabangon who sang their theme song “Nariyan Ka” and that’s the song they used for their first dance.

My sister and I were part of the entourage, her being one of the bridesmaids and me, the veil sponsor. This is also the first time Lance attended a wedding and good thing he has nice clothes to wear care of Peter. Sayang lang Paul was not able to come home.

We sure had fun at the wedding and the newly-weds were really, really happy. To Kuya Otep and Ate Jane, congrats and best wishes! God bless! Mwah!

Bedtimes with Lance

Lance and I are co-sleeping since Paul is in Taiwan. Some people prefer to let their child sleep on the crib but for me I enjoy co-sleeping with Lance especially whenever I wake up and Lance is already awake, I see him smile at me, sarap ng gising!

Like yesterday morning, he was still asleep when I woke up so I just stay in bed and read magazine. When I looked at him, he was awake already and gave me a wonderful smile. My day hasn’t started yet but it’s already complete with that smile. What’s funny is that since he does not have teeth yet, he smiles a lot and shows his gums so sobrang kakatawa kasi bungal siya! Hehehe! If you could only picture him, I’m sure it will make you smile too.

Tapos last night naman, he was asleep na when I went to bed, tapos I have colds kasi so nag blow ako ng nose and parang nagulat siya. So he looked at me without smiling and yung feeling mo ang nasa mind niya, “istorbo naman to sa tulog ko”. Hehe! After looking at me, he turned to the other side and continue sleeping. That made me smile again! Hehe!
