our Bora trip (part 1)

Posted on March 7, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo, Ramblings, Ramil, trips | 4 Comments

We’re back! We stayed in Boracay for three days and two nights only. How we wish it was longer. The whole vacation was really cheap for us since we have sponsors but any amount is still painful for an empty pocket. Haha! Nevertheless, despite the travel and our much emptier wallets, it was worth it.

let me out!

Since Mateo loves going outside now, he has also learned how to use our house keys. While we were outside our house a week ago, he got the keys from me and proceeded to use it on our padlock. I was amazed he knew how to use it because nobody taught him how. I guess [...]

no to shades and hats

Posted on February 27, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo | Leave a Comment

Mateo looks absolutely adorable whenever he’s wearing his pair of shades and his hat. I have a problem though, he’d often wear it for about five seconds - long enough for people around him to appreciate and say ‘wow, gwapo’ and then he’d go about removing the shades and then the hat. Does anyone have [...]

our little gardener

Posted on February 27, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo, Ramblings | Leave a Comment

Mateo loves playing outside. I’d usually accompany him and even if he’s just walking around in our garage and front area, he’s happy already. He’d tinker with everything he can get his hands on while I just let him explore to his heart’s content. A few days ago, he was so taken by the small [...]

mall time

Ever since the new mall near our area was opened, our small family have gone for some quick mall time every now and then. For the just concluded three-day weekend, we were there last Saturday and Monday. Ramil and I used pass by the mall when we were still bf-gf. We’d meet every day from [...]

getting Barney-fied

Posted on February 19, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo, Motherhood, On Me | 2 Comments

I grew up watching Sesame Street and Batibot. Although I’ve heard of Barney, I never really knew him until I started teaching and met English-speaking (complete with a twang) grade-schoolers who grew up loving Barney. It seems that Barney has reached a kiddie star status close to that of Jollibee’s. Really, what’s with big butts [...]

another studio stint

Posted on February 13, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo | 4 Comments

Remember Mateo’s first studio stint at Pic-A-Boo? Ramil and I have been planning on having another studio session for Mateo. We’ve been planning but we couldn’t seem to fit it into our budget. It’s a stroke of luck that a few weeks after Mateo’s first session, one of his godparents gave him a GC to [...]

my first stint as a hairdresser

Posted on February 6, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo, Motherhood | 6 Comments

For the longest time, Ramil and I have been nudging each other about what to do with Mateo’s hair. When our little boy was about ten months old, I started seeing scratches inside his ear. It seems that he made them whenever his hair would go inside his ears and tickle him. So even before [...]

pool time

One of the gifts that Mateo received for his birthday was a small wading pool. After his successful swim at Canyon Woods, we were excited to let him try a pool that’s just right for his size. A week ago, while Ramil was in school and I was about to give Mateo a bath, I [...]

are you doing a good job?

Posted on January 25, 2008 - Filed Under Mateo, Motherhood, On Me, Ramblings | 2 Comments

Companies and employers usually do regular performance evaluations of their employees. These evaluations benefits not only the employers but the employees as well. For most companies, these determine their employees’ performance bonuses and/or salary increases and/or promotions. For the employees, these help them evaluate themselves. They can also rethink whether they would still like to [...]
