Andie that is!

Andie is becoming a darling these days. She is posing like her Ate. Giggles like there is no tomorrow. And smiles like an angel. I know I'm exagerating but I'm her Mama after all. (*grin*)

She is now 1 year and 4 months. But for me, she is still a baby. She has lessen her solids in-take though because her two molars are coming out. Good thing she is not fussy. What a brave baby! She loves to run these days and plays with her Ate. All the while I thought that it would take years for both of them to start playing together but I guess I was wrong. Since the Ate plays different kinds of games, Andie would really enjoy playing with her. This morning I saw them playing under an umbrella. They were pretending to be traveling and gives some roadside assistance to the passersby. I know, what a weird game! The Ate invents different kinds of games. She would sing and dance by herself which makes Andie do the same.

I hope they would be like that in the next few years. Bestfriends for life. Even if they grab each other's toys (well particularly Andie grabbing Ate's toys), I hope and pray that they would support each other no matter what.

It's been awhile since we last attended a wedding. So we are so looking forward to Bong and Jia's wedding. Bong is Hubby's college friend. Aside from Ate A being their flower girl, we also look forward to see Bong get married.

Surprisingly, Bong wasn't that nervous compared to the other grooms out there. LOL! He was so relaxed. It just proved that they were very well prepared. As far as I can remember they were preparing for their big day for MONTHS!


The ceremony was held at St. Francis of Asisi Church. Nice, isn't it?

The wedding started at 4:30PM although the invite said that it would start at 3:30PM. The wedding turned out to be a mini reunion for Hubby and his friends. Some friends came after not seeing each other for 5 (or more) years. Everybody had a blast especially at the reception which was held at Valle Verde 6 clubhouse.


Look at that pose!







Again, congratulations to the bride and groom! May you have lots of babies and lots of happy, happy years together! (*wink*)

Ate A that is! That was what she fondly calls herself last Saturday. We've been looking forward to this day for months! Ate A's first time to be a flower girl at Bong and Jia's wedding. Check out a few photos of the "Princess Flower Girl"...

Ate A had the time of her life! She walked very slowly while walking towards the altar. Not to mention, she was smiling too! She was so well-behaved the entire mass! I couldn't believed that she only went to us right after the mass. We were so proud of her. (*grin*)

Will post more photos of the wedding soon! Watch out for it!

It was a blast! It was just only me, Hubby, the kids, and the Yayas. Plus we invited my sister too. We loved Friday's so much so we decided to have dinner there to celebrate Ate A's 4th birthday. I also want people to sing for her just to surprise her. :)

At first, I thought we ordered so much that we wouldn't be able to finish everything but surprisingly there was only half dish left. We were that hungry I guess! Ate A opened her gifts (from us and her Tita Trish). She was ecstatic to know that we gave her a jumping rope and a hulahoop.

Ever since last Christmas, Hubby and I vowed to give her simpler and cheaper gifts. Since she receives a bunch from relatives, she wouldn't be able to appreciate expensive gifts anyway. The point is that we just have to give her what she really wants (as long as it's affordable and suits her age).

Her Tita Trish gave her...





...a NICE pink bag, which Mama likes so much and might use it one of these days too! LOL!

It was a fun dinner. We ordered A LOT (thanks to Hubby's suggestions) and I felt so guilty eating a whole bunch. After dessert, I was already thinking of the fastest way to burn fat. Here are the culprits...

- Asian Salad
- Fried Mozarella
- Chicken Fajitas
- Sizzling Chicken and Shrimp
- Bacon Cheeseburger
- Pasta

That's a lot, right? It's like we had one meal each! And surprisingly the bill was just enough for the budget. With that, I was glad. :) Check out more photos...

Last Saturday was the little girl's moving up day. I can't believe that the schoolyear was finished already. It seems like we just enrolled her and here we were watching her march for her moving up day.

I was so proud of her. She has improved a lot and now she can talk to people already unlike before. She has overcome her shyness a bit too but needs more improvement. Of course she learned a lot from school but the most important thing is that she had so much fun!

Ate A got an award as the "MOST DILIGENT". Teacher said that she learns fast, listens to class all the time and is very attentive.

Boy, I'm so PROUD.

Congratulations my little A! You made Mama and Dada PROUD.

Finally after several months of putting off this task, I finally upgraded to a new version of blogger and was able to change my template!

YEY!

I can't believe how easy it was to change the template with the new version of blogger. You can also drag and drop "gadgets" wherein before I needed to code the HTML codes.

I'm glad I upgraded to a higher version. How do you like my new template? (*grin*)

We haven't booked a ticket to watch the Pacquiao-Clottey fight LIVE. So now our radio is turned on and here I am looking for some live streaming. I would say this is the first time we haven't booked anything. I guess Hubby is not that interested about this fight as much as Pacquiao's previous fights. He said he was too lazy and don't want to go out today.

Any suggestions were we can watch the fight online?
