Happy 7th Birthday My Dear Kuya Joaquin

Just like that I now have a seven year old boy! One reason why I started this blog so that I can document his milestone.  He initially doesn't want to have big party, okay na daw sa house lang.
But I told him it's his 7th birthday a new milestone of his life. Pumayag sya and we invited his friends and classmates.  We had partyvat Shakeys Lourdes near his school para maka attend classmates nya. Small salo salo at our house and staycation at Shangrila Manila.

Kuya Joaquin anak, I'm glad you enjoyed your birthday. I'm always thankful you came into our lives. Thank you for bringing joy to our family. Sorry if sometimes we don't have time for bonding and I need to focus with your sister. I know it's still hard for you but you just tried to understand. Thank you for amazing us in your academic achievements, for doing your best kahit na sometimes we didn't study everyday.  Thank you for being sweet to mommy and to caring brother to your sister. For being patient to your younger cousins and sister. You grow maturely than your age.
 I love you always anak. I am always praying for you that God will guide you always and you will be grow as God want you to be. That God will keep you away from bad people or friends that will brought no good to you. Dito lang lagi si Mommy. Mahal na mahal kita Kuya Joaquin ko.

 He prayed to get nerf guns for his birthday. Ayan he got 4! Haha

Do you know what's his birthday wish? 

He wished that his 2 front baby teeth will fall off! Hahaha

You are big baby na talaga! 

Joaquin's 5th Birthday - April 19,2016

Time flies so fast, Joaquin turned 5 yrs old. Since he was always overwhelmed with many kids during his birthdays he requested to have only 5 kids, which are his closest friends. 

His birthday falls on Weekday. So he had two celebrations again. First we celebrated with our family  and relatives.  I am 4 months pregnant that time with baby no.2 and good thing the little boy doesn't want mommy to get too much stress. 

He wanted to have a Star Wars birthday so we ordered him a B9 cake from Crumbly Yours. 

He enjoyed playing with his  cousins, this is one activity that they enjoyed. Making big bubbles!

     His cousins gave him his first  NERF gun as a present!

Joaquin and his cousins, after 5 months there will be 2 more additional cuties!

Dinner with Abustan family. We just ordered food good for groups!

My little boy is so happy with his gifts!

Here's the second celebration, on the day of his birthday! He was too excited, went to our neighbor and invited his friends but unfortunately only 2 came. 

Because he still wants to have StarWars, I bought some party items in the toy store. 

We also bought McDonald's happy meal for his visitors

Yey! He was happy even if only his friend Kurt came. 

I have to fetched Jake his friend from my parent's place. 

The three kids had a blast! We had some games, they dance and eat together.

Joaquin is very happy, simple celebration but that is what he requested and he had no regrets.

I love you my Kuya, God answered your prayer already. In few months you will be an official Kuya.
Thank you for giving Joy to us and taking care of Mommy even such a young age.  I know you will be a good kuya when baby comes out. God Bless you my first baby.

May the force be with you. 

I Love you forever son! 

Love, 

Mommy

My Daddy Joaquin?

Habang pinapatulog si bagets, na akala ko ay tulog na at ako naman ay nag browse pa sa cellphone ko..

Joaquin: (biglang lumingon sa akin) Mommy, matulog ka na.. tama na yang pag cellphone mo.. Anong oras ka na naman gigising..

Me: Sige anak, sabay yakap kay bagets at nakatulog na din..

Baliktad na ngayon, nanay na ang pinagsasabihan ng anak! Mabuti din naman at nakinig ako , maaga nga naman ako nagising kinabukasan. lol

Isang tanghali habang ako ay naka upo sa sala at nanonood ng TV.

Joaquin: Mommy, di ka na nag e-excercise, mag excercise ka na..

Me: Oo nga anak, sabay hila sa stationary bike.

Mabuti na lang at masunuring ina ako.

Things I've did and enjoyed after my miscarriage

Here are some things that help me to recover fast after my miscarriage. I think this is my first time that I had a longer vacation for my entire life. I woke up late, bond with my son, watch tv etc., Yes, because even I was young I already helping my parents in our Sari Sari Store. Then before I graduated my college, I am already working as a high school tutor, then I got my first official job tapos tuloy tuloy na. So walang pahinga talaga. (Ako na ang masipag! ) But I thanked God for everything!

Yes it still hurts, I am not yet emotionally and physically recovered but I know that we have a big GOD that will help us and hug us in times when we are down. We are waiting for his perfect plan.

It's time to move on and I begin with my new hair look!  I was able to bring my son to a near barber shop. I am so glad that he did not cry anymore!

I had time for my son, he really hates writing! But I am happy that we did the dinosaur tracing activity.

We did some Chalk Photo Wall Art!

We are finally done getting all our things from our old crib. Bye, Bye El Pueblo! Thank you for the 4 years.   Btw, we also have our first tenant in one of our apartment. 

I had a time making my first BENTO for my Son! And oh, I had time cooking again! 

Had our first set of plants.  Thanks to our neighbor where we get oregano and aloevera! I am dreaming to have more herbal plants. It will be Joaquin's responsibility to water our plants. Happy that he will have a new activity when I get back to work. 

Our first try of T- Shirt Fabric Art.

Thank you Dear Hubby, for the sweet homemade ice cream dessert!

And now it's back to work! But glad, I am allowed to worked from home for 1 more week.

Three weeks is short enough, but still thank God I am recovered and had wonderful moments with my family. Thank you dear Lord, I already have a son. We will wait again for your perfect time to bless with our princess. 

Happy 5th year Anniversary

Hooray for Five years Blissfully Marriage Life! Time flies really fast, and when I looked at our Wedding Pictures, I must say "Tumatanda na nga kami!" haha.  We don't have any plans going out of town or exchanging gifts with each other. Because we could not afford this time. haha. But, we are all excited to move to our Old New House! Our very nice gift from God Above! Yes, all of our budgets, savings are spent for our Old New House. But we spent with buffet dinner at Guevarra's together with our bagets!

Found these hats, my son's idea us to wear it and take pictures!

Happy 5th Anniversary to us! Thank you Papa God for blessing our family more than enough! Please continue to bless us with LOVE, RESPECT and with YOU as center of our Family. And please, a baby sister for my Son.

Happy 3rd Birthday to our Little Favorite Boy!

Happy 3rd Birthday to you my sweetest  "JOAQUIN"!

Yes, I'm calling you as JOAQUIN and that's what you want us to call you. A little bit history, it is because I think of the teenage actor Daniel Padilla where he had a teleserye and his name there was Joaquin. That is what I am thinking why did you prefer to be called as Joaquin rather than Matt. 

Anak, I can't believe how time flies so fast from being a our baby boy to toddler and now you are a preschooler na. I so love everytime we were together, there are no dull moments. You have shown me how important I am to your life that I should take care of myself because of you.


Here are some highlights of what you (we) have done before you turned 3 years old!


I am always excited to be home because I know you are always waiting for me to read you books! (28 mos)

You love your cousins Kuya Tim and Ate Ien! (31 mos)

You are so adorable and walked by yourself at Ninang Kaye's wedding. (33 mos)
