Joaquin moment

This is so funny I just had to share it.

So my sister was getting ready for bed, when Joaquin suddenly grabbed her neckline saying:

Him: I wanna see your dede (b**bies)!
His Mom: (while clasping her top) Why do you wanna see my dede?
Him: I'm not gonna touch it, I just wanna see your dede!
His Mom: I wanna see yours first...
Him: (sheepishly) But I have little dede...


Mwehehehehe. ROTFL!

FAQs

1. When did you arrive?

- We left San Francisco Airport on July 6 at 11pm. There was a brief stop-over in Guam but we were not allowed to unboard. Our plane landed on NAIA2, July 8 430am, one hour earlier than ETA on our tickets (prolly because of DST? hmmm).

2. How was the flight?

- The flight was pretty smooth from SanFo to Guam (about 10hours). Our seats sucked though. We were assigned on aisle82 (waaayyyy behind) beside the area where the food was stored. It was a noisy area. The man sitting behind us was pushing our seats forward, even had the guts to take his shoes off. He put up his foot where we can practically smell it! For dinner, we had some steamed fish (we ran out of choices!) over rice and vegetables. We didn't have our own tv monitors installed on the seats in front of us so we decided to just sleep. But couldn't. Sigh. Breakfast was served before landing Guam (corned beef and rice). The short flight from Guam to Manila (about 3hours) was bumpy. Rainy season has arrived so it was cloudy.

3. Why did it take so long for you to come out of the airport?

- Baggage claim took ages!! Okay, more than an hour. The carousel for our flight was also used simultaneously for another flight. Argh! No problems though with Immigration and Customs.

4. You look fat, did you gain weight?

- I beg to disagree! I did gain weight, only about a pound or so but that's pretty insignificant. :) Ane also gained a few pounds...The gain is something a badminton game can easily shed.

5. You got tanned, did you?

- Yes. I guess those times we were out at the Theme Parks did it for us.

6. Where's my pasalubong?

- Sorry to say that we didn't bring home any. At least not that much. We weren't there for a shopping spree as our pocket money was very limited. We did buy some stuff for others who sent in money though.

7. The biggest question of all: Did you get pregnant while you where there?

- This is a dreaded question, it gets me stressed really. But to answer the question: NO. I was delayed for 45days until I felt cramps while onboard.

My husband has a "Baby"

An intriguing title, I may say. But you have to read til the end to understand.

As all of you now know, today is our First Year Anniversary :) We are not in Manila and we are running low on funds so we didn't plan on doing anything special. We just went to mass together with our "foster family", watched the 130pm showing of Ratatouille (which is not really for kids, as most kids were kinda bored during the movie) while we munched on refillable popcorn (notice we didn't have lunch, hehe), brought Kuya J home coz he had to work, fed the Kois at the Park and then watched the Minor League Baseball at the Municipal Stadium. Watching the game is a first time and it is a bummer that SJ Giants was losing 7-1 at Seventh inning, so we decided to not finish the game.

On our way to the Stadium, Joaquin and I were having a conversation that went:

J: Where are we going Ninang?

Me: We are going to watch a baseball (I pronounced it as basebelle on purpose) game.

J: Ninang!!! It's not basebelle!!! It's baseball!!!

Me: Ah okay, basebelle!

J: Baseball!!!!

And we continued to quiz him with other words (truck, candy, bank etc etc), and it was so funny we almost got him annoyed heheh. Anyway, we got home at 7pm, ate dinner from yesterday's party and we have been just lounging since then.

What about my title?

I woke up this morning and read my text messages. One came from Clarice, our wedding coordinator. I told Ane that she greeted us. He said someone texted him too, asking him to answer his phone... it was from a certain Clarisse. I thought why would Clarice text him too, ayt? I read the text he received and this transpired:

Me: Eh ibang Clarisse naman yan eh. (this is a different Clarisse)

Him: Sino ba sinasabi mo? (Who are you talking about?)

Me: Si Clarice natin, may iba pa ba? (Our Clarice, is there anyone else?)

Him: Meron, pero ang tawag ko "Baby" (Yes there is but I call her "Baby").

**note for mitch, magkaibang tao sina Clarisse at CLARICE, mwehehe...

And then he was laughing that very funny laugh. My dear husband can be pretty comedic, huh? Of course he was just kidding! ;) I know that one factor this relationship didn't feel like a year has passed already is that he can make funny moments out of serious ones without too much of an effort. I love him dearly for that. I usually fall into a pit of sadness (without reason!) and he is always there to pull me up and keep me sane.

I love you, Ane! We have a lifetime to go! :) xoxoxoxox

A quick one

I consider it still early (been sleeping past 1am for three nights!) yet I am already very sleepy. I feel so tired. So this will be short but contemplative :)

I am sad. And I dunno why. I always always find myself feeling so low with no particular reason. I also feel lazy and bored...I just wanna lie on bed.

Anyway, we went to have my sister's car checked this afternoon (maintenance routine) and while waiting we strolled in Valley Fair. Bought a few stuff to be brought home (Manila-bound in 1.5 weeks!). We dropped by the Discovery Channel store and this Life is Good shirt caught my attention (Ane bought it for me and it is also 30% off!):

And there's another label that says:

I realized everything boils down to the choices I make, ain't it? Makes me wonder: Have I made all the right choices? At the moment, I would have answered: "Not at all". But since God sent me a message today (Life is good!), I will have to sleep for now and maybe all the negative vibes in me will go away when I wake up tomorrow.

But before that, I would like to share with you the conversation we had upon leaving the house earlier. Ane and I saw this outside and it sparked the exchange:

Ane: That's ampalaya! (bittergourd)

Me: No that's patola! (vegetable that makes a loofa..dunno the english word for it hehe)

And then Joaquin came out with his dad, shouting:

J: Hey that's a pickle!

And we all laughed :) Smart, this kid is! But of course it was not what we said it was, those are budding flowers :) Sigh, I miss him already and we are still here! One last thing, if my brother G is reading this, he'd probably be so happy to know that today, we got him this:

It is the latest Paramore CD "Riot" and am sure he can't wait to get hold of it :)

There. Notice I actually uploaded photos, these are from my mobile phone. Hmmmmm...gotta work on the trip pictures soon!

Tata for now.
