It’s my day.

Last Sunday, I never expected that my little boy will surprise me with something special. When I woke up, he was still sleeping soundly beside me. When I went downstairs, I saw hubby’s white roses flanked in a vase with a handwritten card placed beside it. It says ” Happy Mother’s Day. Love Papa and Izech”

I ran upstairs to get my camera when I saw our son sitting on the bed half-awake. He startled me at first but he stood up and opened the door, “Ate? Are you there? Go up.” He was calling for his nanny. He looked at me and said ” Ma, can you get ate.” While this conversation was happening, he asked his dad to go to his nanny’s room. Still with eyes half-closed, he began searching the place. They asked me to stay downstairs. After a few minutes, he handed me this card. It was really thoughtful of him. According to his ate, he personally chose that card (and wrote the message without her help). Though, I’m a stay-at-home mom, he finds it as a career. A job, that he says I’m good at.

I thought, that’s it. However, my two boys told me to get ready as we’ll be dining

at Vieux Chalet for lunch. I’ve been reading good reviews about the place so I got excited. It was a 45min drive from our place. We nearly got lost but good thing I printed out a copy of the map. When we got there, our table was ready. You have to call for reservations before going to the place. Rico, helped us with the menu. We ordered salad, pasta and pizza. The lemon tea was also a treat. It tastes heavenly. According to him, most of their food were homegrown. We also met the owner. It wasn’t just a resto but a bed and breakfast inn. We’re thinking of renting a room for our next visit.

By 1pm, we trooped to Eastwood for a quick stroll and a few games at Timezone. Our Sunday won’t be complete without hearing mass at CTK. I definitely enjoyed my day. Every thing was perfect!

is my son’s (latest) term of endearment for me. He started using that pet name last Monday. Just now, I asked him,” what does puti mean?”. He approached me and said, “you use it to call someone you love”. It’s really cute. How I wish he’ll be my baby forever. Though, we’ve been having arguments almost everyday, I still find him sweet and very loving.

The first grandson in hubby’s side of the family celebrated his 11th birthday together with Ate Jing. It was a simple celebration with lots of food and overflowing chickahan. The kids had fun riding the side car and scooter. We went home just in time for dinner. I had a blast driving the kids around the compound. More pics here.

has been a monthly ritual with my Ingenium Mom (friends). We started last January at Bellini’s then just last Friday at Max’s resto. It’s like a breather that we -MOMS need to take so we won’t be too stressed with our daily responsibilities. Honestly, when summer started, I don’t know if I will be able to join them. Luckily, I have understanding friends. They made sure that each lunch out or trip to the salon will be scheduled according to my free time. Few more weeks to go and I will be more relaxed.

Visita Iglesia 09 Tuesday April 14, 2009

This family tradition started when I was still young, my family would visit seven (7) churches around the metro to commemorate our Lord’s journey from the time he suffered up to the day he died. Filipinos call this Visita Iglesia. For this year, my dad decided to take the southern route from Cavite to Tagaytay. As we loaded all the food in the car, we can feel the scorching sun and sweat trickling down our backs. Even with a full blast of the AC, the heat overpowered the coldness inside the car. We arrived at San Miguel Arkanghel around 8:45am. This church was built on January 18, 1752 under the leadership of Fr. Mariano Gomes, from the famous (3) Gomburza Martyrs. It took almost 120 years before it was given back to the local priests.
