SM's Play N Ride

We went to SM Southmall last Tuesday, February 16, 2016. This is because we promised Johann that we'll let him play in Play N Ride.

But first, lemme show you my #Nyelfie and #MOTD (or Makeup of the Day)! Hahaha!

The outfit above was my first option but I had to change to a simpler one. Hehe.

With my bebe.

Funny face daw cya.

Entrance is Php250 I think? Well, hindi ko naconfirm yan kay John. Ninang and I had to do some errands pa kasi sa BDO so nauna ang mag-ama ko. Anyway, for the parent or guardian, the entrance is Php50. I had to pay also another Php50 kasi I wanted to take pictures while Johann's playing. Too bad lang 'coz there were only three of them playing inside. 2 girls pa yun. So John, Johann and I played nalang. Kami ata ang nag-enjoy. Ang saya naman kasi talagang mag-slide sa gigantic slide nila don. Hehe.

See? I toldya! Ang saya magslide jan!

After 1 hour, we had our dinner in one of our Go to Resto kapag walang makapagdecide kung saan kakain, Savory. We had our usual order.

Fish and Tofu in Chili Garlic, Miki Bihon Binondo, Shanghai Rolls and Lechon Macau

Fish and Tofu in Chili Garlic. Fish was crispy! Yum!

Miki Bihon Binondo, our favorite!

Lumpiang Shanghai or Shanghai Rolls

and ofcourse, Lechon Macau!

Never really checked how much. Pag ganyang usapan, I leave it to John na. Haha! If I remember it correctly, he paid around 1k din. Madami naman kami na-take-out for mommy eh so okay nadin.

We had fun naman. Off kasi ni hubby John kaya family date muna kami niyan and buti nagenjoy naman si Johann. :)

Mag-Ama Lunching Out

It is our "laba-day" today. Meaning, John and I have to do the laundry. John started while I cleaned the room, the sala and dining. Then my sis-in-law called. She's inviting us to have lunch with them. It's their tito's despedida lunch. Tito Mon is going back to the US and his flight, I think, is tonight.

I told John that I'll finish doing the laundry nalang and sila nalang ang sumama. I really wanted to go but we can't leave the laundry when it has already been started. It's okay lang pati sakin.

Here's the photo of my mag-ama.

I texted John, sabi ko pasalubong. I want JCo Donuts. And look what he bought. Hehe. Johann was excited to eat na when they arrived home. Eh ako din, excited? Haha! So a dozen minus 3. You do the math. Lol. :) 

I have a new favorite flavor. Tiramisu and Avocado. Im'ma try other flavors next time.

Johann's a little tired so now, he's sleeping as I type this. Hehe.

Johann's 1st Birthday Prep Finale

Part 4

So there you go. I have already shared the details regarding my son's 1st Birthday party. To tell you honestly, planning and preparing gave me headaches! But everything was worth it! I had few small disappointments (like the ribbons for the chairs that were forgotten, the balloon decors that I hoped for, the gate crasher kids lol, and other things...) but the party was still a success. As I said in my previous entry, nobody went home with nothing. Every kid received generous amount of loots. :) Every guest enjoyed the food. Some even went back to get more. My suppliers were really patient enough to deal with me and what I wanted and requested.

Lastly, my son actually enjoyed the party. Especially afterwards. He had all the time to play with his titas/ninangs and some other kids. However, he was kind of irritated when night came, may be because he was already tired, pero gusto padin takbo ng takbo. Ayaw pakarga.

With Ninang Jelynne

We want to thank all those who came to the party. I really hoped that everybody enjoyed everything.

Johann also wants to thank those who gave him gifts. I actually hid some of the gifts my friends gave him. Not really hid but kept away from Johann and displayed on top of the cabinet thingy. If I let him play with those kasi, he might swallow some of the small pieces. Also, he would just ruin it by throwing. So, I will just let him play with those toys when he knows how to play with them na. :)

To my baby Johann,


Happy 1st Birthday anak! You're very precious to us. You're the greatest gift that God has given us. I am happy that you're growing up healthy. However, you're so likot anak! Please try to be still sometimes okay? Try to walk slowly too. You keep on bumping on things kasi... because you keep on running. Nevertheless, you're still so cute and so bibo!


Don't worry baby, mommy and papa will be here for you always. We'll guide you all the way! We love you! I just pray that you'll grow up just like your papa. We love you so much! 


P.S. 
Anak, don't grow up too fast. We might not be able to catch up with you. Take it slowly ha? Again, I loveyou Johann Lexer! 

John "Pulpol"

Haha!
John calls me Honey P.. And according to him, it means "pulpol". So I also call him John P.. :D

My bestfriend, May, and I used to chat before in mIRC (2002-2004 I think). Accidentally, she had a chatmate who's living on the same village as ours. They decided to meet up in front of our house. May met her chatmate Logie. He is with his two friends Joerge and John. (they're brothers) After that meet-up they (May and Logie) never spoke to each other again.. However, after a few weeks, someone texted me. It was John. He decided to get to know me and asked me to be his date. I never said yes because I had a boyfriend that time.

When my ex-boyfriend and I broke up, I coincidentally bumped into John. We started texting and he started to ask me to go out with him again. John and I dated since 2006.  We have been boyfriend/girlfriend for 4 years. A lot surpassed us. As in UPS and DOWNS. Major major! :) However, as I said, we surpassed all that.

I thank the Lord because, inspite of my attitude and nega outlook about life (yeah that was me before), He still gave me a blessing. It was John. John is loving, caring, responsible and God-centered. I couldn't ask for more. He was able to change me and made me look at things/life positively. He is also patient with the kind of attitude I have. He changed me for the better.

Our lives changed when I discovered I was pregnant. At first, I didn't want to marry him yet because, I know I can still live happily without getting married. He can support our baby and we can still be "US". I also don't want to push him through getting married and I don't want to end his life as a single. I knew he wanted and still wants to do a lot of things. However, he personally talked to me and told me that he is already sure, that he wants to marry me. We talked things over. And I said yes. (Not the typical marriage proposal I had hoped for though, but it's okay. What matters is WE LOVE EACH OTHER).

Now, we already have Johann Lexer. He is such a blessing, an additional blessing for me. Also, little by little, there is a change in John. I noticed that he is more responsible now and the love he gives us, is doubled. He still appreciates me even if I'm not that glamorous or beautiful as before giving birth. He gives time to Johann. He would wake up in the morning and play with Johann. Even before he goes to work, he still does play with our baby. I love him for being a loving and responsible father to Johann.

So....

Mahal, sinasabi ko to sayo palagi.. Na mahal na mahal kita! Thankful ako na ikaw napangasawa ko, na ikaw papa ni Johann, na responsable ka, na mapagmahal ka sakin at kay baby. Kung may ulirang ina.. meron ding ulirang ama, at ikaw yun. 

Aalagaan kita hanggang tumanda tayo.. at hanggang mamatay pa at mapunta sa kabilang buhay. Masaya ako na nakikitang masaya ka lalo kapag kalaro mo si baby.. Pinapakita mo padin na mahalaga kami kahit na pagod na pagod ka na sa work. 

Wag ka sana magsawa sa pagmamahal na binibigay mo din saamin. 

I Love you so much mahal. I Love you din daw sabi ni baby.. :)

Happy Father's Day Mahal kong John Pulpol.. hehehe.. :)

Random Pasyal Day

I got bored at home so I asked John if we could go strolling @ SM Southmall. He also wanted to deposit money in BDO, so he agreed.

When we got there, I decided to take a picture of my "mag-ama".

Ampogi naman netong dalawang toh! =)

I'm sure that in the future, my son, Johann will be a head-turner. Look how cute he is. Actually he is not cute, he is pogi. hehe. 

Kanino pa nga naman daw magmamana yan kundi sa papa nya. hehe.. 

I love you both, John and Johann.

In-Laws...

Have you ever heard of husband-wife fights because of in-laws? Have you experienced being tortured by in-laws? Have you been acting "plastically" in front of your in-laws? Well, those are stories I hear from other friends or strangers who are now living or trying to live their lives with in-laws.

Fortunately for me, I don't have problems with my in-laws. I'm actually happy that they accepted me even with my bratinella personality. I'm really lucky to have found the love of my life that has a family like theirs. Since I really did not grow up being close to mom and dad, I really appreciate my mom-in-law's opinions and "pangaral". She's like my second mom nadin talaga. My husband's family is so close that sometimes I envy them. I really do adore my father-in-law because of his eagerness to do almost all stuff in the house like repairing or fixing and cleaning. Ika nga nila "laking pakinabang ni papa sa bahay". Andami niyang nagagawang mga bagay na malaking tulong sa family and sa house. "Two thumbs up to you papa!"


It's so amazing that even though I felt before like I'm all alone, God still gave me hope through my husband and his family. I can honestly tell you that I have an attitude that is unlikely. But it lessened when I met John... and now, I'm happy that once in a while, I talk to my mom-in-law regarding facts of life and the like where in she gives me advices or lectures that I would certainly treasure.

I am so thankful for my in-laws. Without them, I know, John won't be the John I loved. As I said earlier, I don't have problems with my in-laws, I just hope as well, that they don't have problems with me. :)

I love you both! Don't worry Ma, Pa.... I will also love your son with all my heart, until my last breath and forever...
