Baby Mica's Christening Reception

After the baptismal ceremony at the Sta. Ana church, we went to their house and had a lunch. They had the food catered for the celebration of Mica's Christening. The foods were yummy. There were four main dishes - beef afritada, pork adobo, pancit, and chicken lenchon. There's also the indispensable roasted pig ( lechon). Desserts consist of rice cake, melon fruit, durian tart and fruit salad. We also brought with us chocolate rebel bars that Mom baked for Mica.

Lil Keona loves mangosteen

We are feeding Keona different kinds of fruits like banana, papaya and any fruit that's in season. Lately, I was able to buy mangosteen and let her try to taste it. Wow, she loves it! She would clap her hands and flash her big smile then stretch her hands to ask for more even if her mouth is still full:). I'm very happy that she likes it because she's already fed up with eating papaya. We used to feed her papaya a lot due to her poop problems. Papaya was really effective when she was having chronic constipation aside from the prune juice that we gave her. It's a delight also to note that mangosteen price here in our place are going down this time. From it's usual 80-180 pesos per kilo,which for me is too pricey, it dropped to just 40 pesos.

Christmas Noche Buena

How's your Christmas celebration? We celebrated Christmas without firecrackers for it is prohibited here in Davao City. To make some noise on the Christmas eve, Pappa rented a videoke and we sing our hearts out:). I really am not fond of singing.hehe.I'm afraid the rain will pour down if I sing :). It was the house helps who were like making a concert of themselves and sing until around 3 o'clock in the morning. They just lowered the volume so as not to disturbed the neighbors. We also use toy horn (locally known as torotot).What's on our table? Yummy lechon (roasted pig), spaghetti, mango float, pineapple bars, ice cream....It is the time that I really indulge:), not minding of the fats.

Identifying colors through ref magnets

Keona loves to walking around the house by holding just one of my hands and whenever she passes by the refrigerator, she stops, and rearrange the different magnetic fruits in its door. And she identifies their colors. She points to the particular fruit corresponding to the color I asked her. Her favorite color? Green and blue! And she's learning fast. Thanks to Mom who acts as her tutor whenever me and hubby are at work during the day.

Happy birthday pappa!

Today is hubby's birthday. Momma have made already her fruit salad and we'll just gonna order foods for dinner later to have a simple birthday celebration. Here are the things I love about Pappa.

• He's patient. He is very patient about me, especially when I'm not in the mood.LOL
• He gives in right away with my requests, may it be request to buy forgotten grocery items, anything...
• He wakes up to change Keona's diapers during the night
• He loves to eat - and that makes me eat a lot too. Why I liked it? Because I'm striving to gain some more weight.hehe. But Pappa, you should not eat too much, Okay? LOL
  

Happy birthday pappa and I love you very much! I may not be very expressive....and sorry for my tantrums sometimes...LOL. I'll strive to be the best...

P.S. I have a gift for you...surprise! I'll just give it to you when I get home.
