Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! 

- Lydia M. Child

At Sta. Cruz, Davao del Sur for Father's Day Celebartion! 

A good place to share family bondings! With this nice beach fronting my in-laws home. 

Nothing anyone can say to you, can really explain what happens when you become a dad – it is such an extraordinary event, truly life-changing.  June 16, 2009 when he became a first time father. It really changed when I showed him  the positive mark on the dipstick used to determine pregnancy. Now, with fatherhood,  he found himself growing in anticipation of this young kidoes who shares his DNA.  

  Make way for our little Engineer! 
The one who would I think follow Oscar in his endeavor! 

Papa Ca, your guiding hand on mine will remain with me forever.
I know I am very rude at times but my love for you is endless. 

I cannot survive in this world if I don't have your support and love.

Papa, some day I will meet my prince charming 
but you will always be my king!

Small boys become big men through the influence of big men 

who care about small boys.

I never had a chance to choose the man to be my Dad - But I sure thank my lucky stars for the taste my Mother had. 
(Mama: Hehehe) 

ORA:  
My Lolo! Look how happy he was staring at me! 
And now I know how my Papa will look like when he gets old. Hehe :) 

Quad and Ora’s boat in Sta. Cruz! 

Too bad we weren't able to ride on it when we went there. 

The many faces!

A husband, a lover, a best friend, a brother to me, 

a playmate, a provider!

There are many things why I love this man, but I think my very favorite of all is the way that he loves our children. They enormously admire their Papa and it's so clear to everyone around. He is always getting down on the floor and playing and wrestling with them (even I know he's tired from work). 

They have so many made up games, they play hide and  seek, and he spends most of his time at home with the kids.  B,  you are so great at loving our children. You are strong and steady and, at the same time, so fun and playful. They are incredibly blessed to have you as their Papa! And I am so blessed of having you! 

Nais kong ipaalam sa iyo na napaka-buti mong ama sa ating mga anak.

Sa araw na ito, gusto kong ipaalam sa 'yo na mahal ka namin, Papa!

Quad& Ora: 
Papa looking Forward on you showing  us the stars....And that you'll teach us how to reach them... We love you Papa Ca! 

Happy Father's Day Papa Ca! 

Happy Third Birthday Ora.

I see a little more of me in you with each  passing year and no matter how many birthdays come and go, you'll always be my little girl...

This is what I do.  Feel sad for a day and then prove myself insane the next day. I am the queen of getting on the rollercoaster and then freaking out when it does that jolt uphill. Oh yeah!!!   In summary: I suck at plans but I'm a hell of an improviser.  

That's what life looks like! On occasions...on birthdays. :(

 Malaki lang talaga siya.. pero baby pa rin ang  isip :))) 

And yes, there have been moments, many moments, challenging and frustrating moments. 

Make way for our brainy baby in glasses and for my DIY birthday banner! 

Ora:
The A says "Ah"... The A says "Ah"... 
Every Letter makes a sound the A says "Ah"!!! 

Some highlights of Ora before she gets 3:

* At 2.9 Ora could amazingly recognize her phonics very well in random orders.

* Good at counting too!

* Not to mention her singing. Currently, she sings well Aiza Seguera's "Para    Sayo". A biritera in the making we have :)

* She started putting her own clothes.  She's showing a clear-cut independence. I hope you won't be like Mama (hehe).

* She forgets about giving us a kiss when we arrive home and she would quickly go over the groceries and name each of those inside. 

* She receives a birthday gift from heaven on her birthday afternoon. I asked her what name she can give on that little turtle that came inside our gate. With confidence she said " Pickie ". 

* Her dance moves were great! And she was bold enough to show it to others.

* At 1.5 I remembered she started eating on her own. 

* She could finish 4 bottles of Yakult in a day and asking for more.

* She shares her food to Quad. Amazingly generous gal.

* She's maarte. Takes a bath before going to bed. She puts shampoo alone and washes her body without being helped.

* She spent most of days watching leap frogs and annoying her little Bro.

* She started sleeping with no diapers at 2 and still good  on her pee training.

* She only eats pandesal, scrambled egg with rice, suman at puto, pancit canton , and longganisa (she calls it CBO actually), hotdogs, banana and soup. Picky bebe!

* She likes dressing up. Our little bonding everytime I spend my off at home.

* She always have her early morning walk with her lolo.

* When she's finished drinking her milk ( mostly 8 bottles in 24 hours) she would hand it to you and would say "Tapos na" or sometimes put it on table.

* She has good memory in many ways! 

Ora:
My 3rd chocolate moist cake. 
This has always been my Papa's  present to me very time 
I celebrate my birthday. Looking forward for more birthdays with this cake Papa!

But at the end of the day... She is the "happily ever after"... of every moment, no matter how trying. She is what pushes me to be a better woman. To own my instincts and love myself. To rebel and acquiesce, fight and forgive, to be strong and soft, to accept love with gratitude and pass it on. 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ORA!

Heaps of love!
Mama Da

Good Friends Don't Let You Do Stupid Things. Alone.

So How Did I End My Day.

Alright so here's the deal. Since it's my Mama Da's day off and she needs to catch up with me, she decided to take me at  the playroom.  And this is how I looked liked when we're off to our plan! 

 My little pose for a little me! I decided to wear anything pink today. 

My jeepney ride! 

So we we're welcomed with this very inviting place for kidoes like me. Clean and very spacious! It's not my first time to be here though but this’ the only chance they got to take photos of me here. 

Yes I did relish and savor the place. With all these toys around me? Who could resist? Well not me! So I played and I roamed around and I played some of the toys others were playing. I grabbed one that 2 year old kid I guess and oh Ma! I got this :( My bad I know! But she should not do this right? And she scratched other girl too next to me. 

I cried so loud that everyone around could here me and I looked for my Mama Da. I told her how atrocious this is and that she needs to go and bite that kid too! ( nyaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!! ) 

No you can't draw me in! And no one can ruin my day! ...and it's fun! 

A Visit to Ninang Shayne.

At last I could have a long day bonding with Ora! I have been waiting for this day to come  for me to bring Ora at playroom for long hours than usual. We got to visit Ninang Shayne and Abby (not in this photo) on their lunch hour before we headed to our plan. Photos to be posted soon. I just don't have the  guts to sit and blog and think of  words how I could describe Ora and I's adventure that day!  Give me time bebe! -_*
