Series of Events

Last Wednesday, I was included as one among the delegates (including our Mayor) to the Presidential Citation Awarding for the streamlining of mayor’s permit in support to the Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises at SM Megamall Trade hall 3 wherein Her Excellency Gloria Arroyo will hand over the plaques. I was very lucky to see for the first time the President of the Philippines. It was my first experience and opportunity ever to personally see a President of a country in a 10 meter range! Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to capture a picture of her because she was surrounded by security and my cam was borrowed to our cameraman. Tsk tsk... have nothing to show as evidence. I got only this pix after having lunch at Kamayan as Mayor’s treat/ remuneration for the job well done.. Sobrang busog, eat all you can.. And I ate everything.. hehehe


Last Saturday, we headed to a kids salon for Lance haircut. And I’m happy to announce that he no longer cried in the process! As in no extra movements, he sat still. Yehey! Here is his picture with the new do:

Next, hubby and I went to Robinsons to see the Ice Age 3, Dawn of the Dinosaurs movie with Lance and his cousins. Ice Age movies are Lance’ favourite. We were anxious if he won’t cry and be afraid inside the cinema. Initially, we asked permission from the admission counter to go inside the cinema first for trial before buying tickets. Then after couple of minutes hubby went out the cinema and reported that Lance was not frightened inside; however, there was nothing playing in the widescreen and some lights were turned on. Eventually, we decided to pursue the movie, we’ll just go out if he cried - we thought. We are just in time for the showing time. Then the lights were turned off, Lance was quiet and staring at the big screen until the movie begun. I observed him and he was attentively watching the movie! At times he will utter “Mammoth!”, “Manny! (Mammoth’s Name); there were instances of shock when Rudy the white dinosaur and Dino Momma will appear and roar. Despite of that, we did not hear Lance crying or see him frown. Yehey! Another milestone! He enjoyed the movie! At last, we did not spend for nothing! Hubby and I are so happy! We had a meal at Jollibee after watching as usual... We got home fulfilled and proud of our baby.. It’s worth spending for... well done my son.. :-) Love you.. mwuah!

Bonding Time with Typhoon Emong!

Yesterday in the midst of the Typhoon Emong, me, hubby and my friendships struggled to meet up at Zapata's Cantina Mexicana along Fields Avenue in Angeles City. I even crossed the flooded road of the Astro Park just to be with my friends! Even my friend - Yhang, who is 6-months pregnant, took the courage to go out the house. It was raining hard; there were flooded roads and streets, and there was really poor visibility. Despite of all that storm events, we have landed safely in Mexican Resto and got to spend quality time (even it's short) with my friends.. Well, that's what friendship meant.. It was worth the effort because we really had fun and had tried Mexican dishes.. It was our first time to go to that place and you will really feel you're in Mexico! hehehe.. Take a look of our pics..

Luckily, the rain had stopped on our way home and it seemed that Emong left already. What an adventurous get together with the typhoon...

Saturday Time-Out

Last Saturday is a black out day here in Pampanga. And the heat is killing everyone!!! That same day is Lance schedule for his vaccination. We went to his pedia and injected Lance with 5-in-one vaccine, i.e., Diphtheria, Tetanus, and Pertussis; HiB; and IPV. Then hubby, I and Lance went to the mall to feel the cool breeze air.. ehehe.. We had lunch at Jollibee as usual. Then we went to Ideal Vision to purchase new eyeglasses of hubby. The old eyeglasses were broken by my very curious baby Lance. Whenever he will be lifted by Papa, Lance will surely grab Papa’s eyeglasses and stretch it wide-open! Poor disabled eyeglasses… We also bought Lance a sunglass.

Then, we proceeded at Robinsons Appliance Center and Abenson’s to look for a washing machine. We are replacing our worn-out washing machine. We chose the LG 8.5kg Washing Machine. It’s a new model with a Power Jet Roller, this will not make clothes tangle while washing, It’s also electricity saver as it produce 280 wattage on its washer and 160 wattage on spinner whereas most of the machines were 400 and 160 wattages. We haven’t purchased the machine until now. Maybe this coming weekends..

Next, we went to Gupit Bulinggit to have Lance haircut. This salon is where Lance had his first haircut ever! My baby still cry out loud but there were instances that he stops crying because he would watch the video of Barney and friends. It’s good to have salons like that there are a lot of distractions for babies to be entertained and forget to be frightened. Lol!

What a day! The three of us were exhausted! Whew! That’s how we spent our weekends..

Family Day!

Me, hubby and baby had a family day out last Sunday. We went at SM to shop for groceries and a usual dine out lunch. We seldom go out together with Lance that's why we maximized our time that day, after which, we attended the holy mass.

Before shopping for groceries, we had lunch at Jollibee as usual. Whenever we dine out with lance, we always eat at Jollibee because Lance simply loves Jollibee! Yun kc nakagisnan niya.. hehe.. He loves the burger steak, jolli spaghetti and most especially the jolli fries! My baby will insistly point to the french fries and ask for them. When he eats fries, he would insert altogether 3 sticks of fries in his mouth! as if he would never eat them again.. ~wink~

Then, we let Lance experience riding on the car rides for the first time. We let him see first how it works by observing other kids riding on them. My baby was amazed with them and he liked them immediately. Lance rode in three cars and repeated it three times per car! At first, I thought he will get dizzy but he was tough. He even stood up at the yellow car ride while it was moving and he acts as if he really drives a car! Oh boy! my Lance really enjoyed the day.

After resting for a couple of minutes, Lance and his Papa got tickets to ride in the Grand Carousel which is also the first time of Lance. He was astonished with the wooden animals. For the first few minutes, Lance was seated on a horse with his Papa at his side then eventually he grabbed his Papa and wanted to be carried. Poor baby he might got dizzy that time..

Car rides!!!!!

After SM, we went to our church for the holy mass. Unfortunately, we were not able to finish the mass as my hubby was quite uncomfortable due to Lance behavior. Lance wants to walk all the time and he reaches every plant in the church's garden. Me and hubby couldn't listen attentively to the homily. So, I carried my baby to stop him but Lance was so furious and insist on letting him go. But I remain firm in saying "NO" which makes little Lance really mad. You know what he did?! He bit Mama on the cheek! I was frustrated and confused with his behavior.. Is this a normal behavior of a one-year and three months old baby?

My Sick Baby..

My baby lance is sick.

Again and again.. he has colds and coughs! Last Saturday, we visited his pedia for his chicken pox vaccination and for his illness. Her pedia suggested to have Lance undergo a "TUBERCULIN" test because Lance had colds and coughs every month as indicated in his medical record. This test will determine if Lance has primary complex.. If his test will be positive, he will undergo 6 months medication!!!! His weight is slowly progressing.. 0.1 to 0.3 kilos per month.

I was wondering and saddenned with my baby's health.. What could be the cause of this? No one in our family has TB.. although due to climate, we have colds and coughs from time to time..

Yesterday, i had my day off as my baby had fever due to his vaccination and illness (pity Lance).... we had our bonding time together..






I hope and pray that he will have an excellent health.. my poor baby.. love you so much!
