These four was taken during his first 2 months.
The middle set when he was a lot older. He kept on throwing his pillows at us (mom and dad), and he'll laugh out loud. Like, literally.
And the last set...well, he's much younger here, but it's my favorite. It was my first time to hear him laugh. I think this is when it all started, him being playful with a hint of naughtyness.
I must admit, it's hard preparing for this new stage in my child's life. Financially, it's not a joke. The standard of living in the city is far different from the rural areas. The cheapest we could find for a pre-school is at P40,000. But then, when it comes to education/learning, it's always a must to give whatever's best for our children. If not something from the top of the list, at least something we can afford and will still give the proper learning we desire as parents.
My birthday is 11 months away. I am thankful to have given a chance to share my 31st wish list for my special day.
We had 2 advance birthday celebrations. First, was with my father-in-law's celebration at The Oasis.
My husband was surprised with a birthday song and a cake to blow. Plus, a feast to remember by Mandarin Oriental. His birthday is on the 28th, but he needs to report to work. Yesterday, he decided to take a day off and prepared for another celebration with some friends. A few days after the first celebration, he had a haircut and got his usual skin- head back. See the difference.
His cakes
Orange flavored cake with orange frostings
Red Velvet from Red Ribbon
With our guests Ricky and Jon. 
The main highlight of the night was my gift. It's kinda extraordinary for a HE. I gave him a Bubble Foot Massager. I like giving him foot rubs or massages. I feel that he will enjoy something that will give him an instant Spa moment. He works hard so much, he deserves all the pampering in the world. 
Happy 31st Birthday Baby...He loved my hubby entry and he was very proud I shared our story...
It's one flick that I love watching over and over again. The movie, that made me love Mandy Moore as an over-all performer. Her breakthrough in the acting scene.
A Walk To Remember is a romance film based on a romance novel by Nicholas Sparks. The inspiration for A Walk to Remember was Nicholas Sparks' sister, Danielle Sparks Lewis, who died of cancer in 2000.The plot was inspired by her life; Danielle met a man who wanted to marry her, "even when he knew she was sick, even when he knew that she might not make it". Both the book and movie are dedicated to Danielle Sparks Lewis.
Lumpiang Prito
I practically did nothing this weekend. My husband was out of town since friday for a convention in Baguio City. We're suppose to go too, but we didn't want to mix work and family. It spoils everything.
Anyway, my son & I stayed at home the whole weekend. I watched some old flicks while munching on these. It's been a long time since I tasted this famous afternoon snack. This Lumpiang prito is made out of Toge (mung bean sprouts), sauted with garlic and some ground meat, wrapped in spring roll wrapper and dipped in vinegar. Mouth-watering...yummy!

8 and 1/2 years of being together... 4 years married...How Do I Love My husband?
I love him back because he brought out the real person in me
This entry is specially for my loving husband... 
The Birthday Boy!
With our guests. My side of the family. My husband's family lives in the US, so everytime we host an occasion, my parents, my siblings and Franky's cousins are always on top of our guests list. It's a blessing if somebody comes home from the US to celebrate with us.
His Birthday Cake. Since he loves The Transformers, I ordered this Optimus Prime from Red Ribbon. It's a chocolate cake.
And lastly, a kid's birthday is not cmplete without a family picture with Mom & Dad and an inverted #4 (lol).What's your Mommy Moment with your kids on their birthday?

Happy T.G.I.F!!!
Wildflower. It covered our parking space when we were in Laguna. Pretty nice for a parking space. I was thinking, why place this pretty one, where it could only be stepped on or trampled.
Fern plant from my Auntie's Garden. This is literally a lucky shot. I held the camera and faced it down. There were stuff between me and the plant so I had to hold a certain position while taking it.
The wooden bird cage is actually hanging on top of the fern plant. I was after the sun light towards the thing. As mentioned, there were stuff (gardening materials) between me and the plant. (tabingi) (excuses!excuses! he!he!he!)
The wooden bridge was taken from a farm. My son and his grandfather went boating, while I took advantage of the bridge (lol). This is one subject I wanted to shoot. The texture of the wood and how the bridge was made--- very dramatic.
And this drop of water...from my placemat. :)
