It is the Holy Week again. I cannot even remember the last time I went home for the Holy Week. Reason for this is because there are a lot of people (and when I say a lot, I really mean A LOT) travelling back to their provinces to spend time with families, go on vacations and the likes. Just imagine the traffic jams along major highways. A normal 6.5 hours commute from the big metro to Baguio can take as long as 7-8 hours because of traffic jams and long chance passenger queues at the bus stations. I have decided […]
Thank you for coming :-)
Since I have already posted my suppliers review (and basically covered the whole event in that post), I’m writing this post to acknowledge and thank everyone who made little Z’s event a memorable one. Given that the date selected is just prior to the holy week (and we all know that people have already scheduled their holy week for family outings and the likes), there were quite a few people who didn’t make it to the event. Nonetheless, I would like to thank them especially to my friends who offered to become godparents to my little warrior even before I […]
Events Planning: Suppliers Review
Here’s a review of the suppliers I’ve had for little Z’s baby dedication: Venue: Kalapaw – Taste of Laoag I had booked Kalapaw – Taste of Laoag as my venue. It was suggested by a relative when I was still searching for a venue. I chose this one because it offered the cheapest package compared to all the other caterers and venues I have checked. I didn’t really have the time for food tasting prior to the event so I just crossed my fingers and prayed real hard that the food will be at least good. I was not disappointed. 🙂 […]
A Good Deal…
We had lunch earlier at a friend’s house because it is her baby’s 3rd month celebration. The actual day is supposed to be the 10th of the month, but since it is a holiday here in our country and both she and her hubby didn’t have to report for work (not like me.. huhu), they decided to celebrate it a day early. For some reason, I forgot to take photos again. Geez! Z was sleepy when we got there but he was in a good mood and was smiling once in a while before he got cranky and fell asleep. […]
Trip Down Memory Lane: First post…
A little more than a year ago, I started a new blog to document my unexpected journey into pregnancy, then eventually started this blog as a new chapter when my son was born (well, I started this blog because it has more storage space and it is easier to navigate than the one I used. That was actually the reason. Although I already have another blog here that I still maintain. Didn’t think of using that though, LOL!). The first post I published (see here) was something about the very early movements of a fetus that could be felt. Now […]
Z’s Save the date…
I got news earlier in the evening that my baby will be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Yipee! According to my Mom, he is already back to his old self, his poop is no longer watery and he doesn’t poop every after feeding. And that is such a good sign. I am so happy about it. At least that takes out one thing that doesn’t make me sleep at night. Anyway, I was able to finish little Z’s save the date video for his baby dedication. Given that I have limited resources (including laptop, software and other stuff that I […]
Events Planner Mode: On
So, I have been planning my little boy’s baby dedication for quite some time now. I haven’t been concentrating on it, really, but now that I realized that my target date is less than a month from now, I am now in crunch time mode. Here’s what I’ve done so far: – I have finalized the date: April 12. 🙂 – I was able to talk to one of my Uncles who’s a pastor to officiate the dedication. – I have been in contact with one of the restaurants in Baguio (which was suggested by another relative) for the past […]
When it rains, it pours…
After the weekend “nightmare”, so to speak, I was thinking that maybe this week would bring a little bit of relief. Well, things doesn’t happen that way I guess, hence the saying, “when it rains, it pours.” It is just Wednesday (well, 1250AM this side of the world already) and yet the week feels to have been going in limbo. I went back to “the scene of the crime” on Monday morning to get a police report. Suffice it to say that the management of Victory Liner is not doing a very good job in these kinds of scenes. But […]
Almost over…
My son’s three weeks’ stay here in the big metro with me is almost over. We are going back home on Sunday and I will be leaving him there once I come back to work. I have enjoyed his long stay here with me. I mean, who wouldn’t, right? I enjoyed coming home from work in the wee hours of the morning knowing that when I get home, he will be there, sound asleep. No matter how tired I am, now matter how sound asleep my son is, I always make sure that I pick him up and cuddle him […]
Z’s 6th month weekend outing…
My son was born on the 29th day. Given that February only has 29th day every 4 years, it has been customary for people to celebrate birthdays on the 28th. It was a no-brainer, some would probably say. But for some reason, celebrating Z’s sixth month on the 28th seem to be a bit early. LOL! Silly, I know. So I decided to celebrate the 6th month milestone over the weekend instead. I was planning to bring the little boy to Tagaytay to celebrate. Just to be away from the big metro but not far enough to make it hard […]
