Her Favorite Spot

My daughter frequently goes to one corner of the room to sit, rummage and do a balancing act. She climbs the bookshelves which actually a danger zone already.

We keep a close watch when she's in that corner.

Carousel Fun

My daughter and I spent one afternoon in Eastwood Mall park. I let her ride several rides and let her roam around freely. She had some bumps and scratches in the process but she is quite happy so she didn't mind.

Attended A Party

My Via attended a kiddie party awhile back. 

She was so happy to be there unlike during her own birthday party.

She was messing up the chair arrangements on her own. 

She is such a special person.

All I want to do is make and keep her happy.

We got some stuff from the loot bags!

But I think the bracelet is not going to hold on to its beads for that a long time, 

so it headed straight to someone else's arms.

Feeding Her Is Getting Harder

I don't know about other mothers but I am noticing that Via is keeping her food in her mouth

for a longer time these days.  I'm not sure if she have a hard time chewing or swallowing or

she just doesn't like the food.

She is becoming like her cousin, Kuya Gabino, more everyday when it comes to food.

We need more distractions on the table whenever it's time for them to eat or else, 

they go running off.  The television is sometimes effective and sometimes, ain't effective enough.

On Valentine's Day

It's still February, isn't it?

Family spent Valentine's day together.

We had dinner in Shangri-la's lobby which was covered in tent-like tapestries.

I got flowers from the usherettes.

I'm expecting a sumptuous dinner during that night

because I came from work and the last meal I had was more than six hours ago.

LOL!

 I

Here was my favorite: macarons and truffles!

I went to the ladies room in order to talk to my husband on Skype.

I guess that was the best that we can do during that time.

The dinner was made more special with live music singing romantic songs, of course!

Fan Day

I had the whole weekend off so I can go wherever and waste time whenever.

Early Saturday morning, I had myself drop off at the nearest coffee shop 

to catch up on my reading.  I planned to spend the whole morning by myself

in order to get some "work" done. 

There were so many customers wearing lemon yellow clothes yesterday.

They all came from the nearby EDSA monument after commemorating 

EDSA Revolution decades ago.  Today, they go to Starbucks to refresh themselves.

Of course, I couldn't take pictures of those who were there.
They might not like the extra exposure ^_^

After having lunch at home, we all drove off to MOA.

Yes, we went as far as MOA.  The weather was perfect to spend outside.

But I think my Via wasn't too happy to stay under warm weather.

The purpose of the long travel to Mall Of Asia was to go to 

Chico and Dell's Book Signing!  

There was a long line outside National Bookstore.

We bought the book from Megamall but we weren't able to

attend their book signing earlier.  Hence, we have to sacrifice a bit to meet

my favorite radio show hosts to whom we have been listening to since

late high school days (I think)!

After locating the bookstore, we decided to roam around and look for snacks.

There were so many people in the mall. 

Later that day, I couldn't take it and asked everyone if we could drive to

Shangri-la instead for dinner.

Finally, it was almost our turn.

Well, it was my sister's turn but she is asking me to go there with her to have our picture taken.

I can sense that after three hours of smiling to strangers, these guys are dead tired already.

I'm so happy to see their marks in our single copy ^_^

Grabbed this photo from my sister's instagram ^_^

I Felt So Loved

I have never asked God to make a man give me white flowers to tell me that he is the one for me.

My husband and I celebrated Valentine's Day a little off the mark.

We had to postpone our celebrations because of our engagements with other people.

I spent last night with my husband. 

I have forgotten what he said he was planning to do

because my mind was so occupied with work and Via 

and so many other things.

And so last night, while I was in the apartment, everything came in as a surprise.

I was taking a shower and heard him change the songs on his computer.

Everything became very mushy!

The songs that I didn't really listen to before.

When I got out, I saw that it was a bit dark and a candle was lighting up the whole house.

He gestured for me to sit down on the chair and rubbed my legs dry with the towel.

He then said that he has something for me and handed me the flowers!

White ones!  

And I knew they were beautiful even if it was a bit dark.

He ushered me to stand up and he made me dance with him.

I couldn't help it but cry.  I was so overwhelmed.

He was a bit puzzled why I cried (and was even bothered)

He doesn't get it that I felt so loved by him that it moved me to tears.

We have been through a lot and we are still going to go through tough times some more.

But last night, I thought that everything is at it should be.

He is more than enough for me.
