dad's here.....

my dad's here for a short respite and it's going to be a hectic 3-week for all of us. he's finally seen in person the two additional apos in our clan and my better half, DELL. it was a tense moment for me because my dad had no idea of inigo (yeah! yeah!) but we all know that no matter how strict our parents are, grandchildren have their way of melting their hearts. and that's exactly what happened last saturday. in fact, my dad has been convincing me to allow him to take my son home to the philippines so i could concentrate in my studies. that's how dedicated my parents are to their apos. they always think of the kids' welfare. what we cannot give (no matter in what term it is), my parents try to give it to them and we are always grateful for their generosity. we are not the kind of children who take it against their parents if they sometimes cross the line when it comes to the apos. saan ka pa ba huhugot ng lakas ng loob at suporta kundi sa kanila rin naman.

here's a shot of my dad and inigo.....that's where he got the good looks... :o)

got my new toy.....

i got my big shot today ;o) parang ayaw ko buksan and just leave it in its plastic packaging. and i still have to learn how to use it.

thanks honey.....for being so supportive of my hobby.

a death in the family.....

my tito (my dad's youngest brother) passed away last tuesday due to a massive heart attack. he was 56 years old and left 4 kids. though my cousins are all done with school and working, it is still sad to see them lose their father. the rest of his siblings are devastated as well. i'm sad because i couldn't be there to join them in their time of sorrow.

my dad (the eldest) even thinks that my tito would be the last one to go being the youngest. it gave me the creeps and called my dad begging him to take care of himself because i don't know how i'll be able to take it if his time comes. GOD KNOWS MY FEAR AND THAT'S LOSING MY PARENTS. they're in their 70's already and just glad that everything is okay with their health so far.

to my tito boy, may you find peace as you join our good Lord in his kingdom. say "hi" to lolo and lola and to tito meng. i will surely miss your humor and your one-of-a-kind laugh.

ngarag.....

sh*t! i will never ever order a venti again. i was up till 5:30 am. now...i'm a walking zombie with eyebags as big as my maletas.

ang pangit!!!

it's a long weekend.....

and we decided to just stay in town and chill. it's too hot to drive and the places that we plan to go to would definitely be teeming with people taking advantage of the holiday. so last night, we watched "the barnyards" and it was a good movie though inigo fell asleep in the middle of it and woke up 10 minutes before ending. and we liked the moral of the story....."a strong man stands up for himself but a stronger man stands up for others."

today, we went to church then went to the mall to do a little walking. i went to check out the bare escentuals store and had the sales associate teach me how to apply it on my face. what a big difference those mineral make up did to my face and got me convinced to buy the starter pack. i love, love, love it and so i finally joined the latest craze on BE. i'm eyeing on buying their brushes.

tomorrow? we have no plans yet but we're thinking of going to redondo to do a little walking (again) by the beach and have crabs for lunch at the boardwalk. but if it gets a little hot, we might just stay home and watch deebeedees.

life.....

photos of the first haircut.....

we didn't get it.....

it was the most heartrending news i've ever heard...as our condo unit was days away from completion, dell was not approved of the loan. with that news, our dream of having a home we could call our own was washed away with the tears and uhog strolling down my face (yes, it was that bad). and all this mess was because of what his ex-wife did. and some friends have said that maybe that place was not really meant for us. the bad part is we couldn't get the money that we deposited because we've used it for the upgrades. howell.....

at this moment, all our plans are in halt. we've agreed to wait till this mess is fixed legally then we could start from there. we're taking it one day at a time and cutting all strings we have with the ex. (i've cut mine from the day i received the letter...)

we're thankful for the overwhelming support of our friends and dell's family. for the comforting words of "this too shall pass" and that the Lord has better plans for us. well, i hope and pray that as we near the ending of this chapter with the ex, she wouldn't have even a bit of a role in the next episode.

and to the condo unit we longed to call home, may your new owner take care of you the same way i planned to do even before you were completed..... ;o(

the first haircut.....

we waited for inigo to turn 1 to have his first haircut...and yesterday was the day. his tita maridel who owns a salon in fullerton was more excited than us and even labeled the envelop where we were to put his hair. but it was like a major production in prepping him up for the haircut. daddy was carrying him all the time while his ate gabee had to keep him amused by making funny faces and tita maridel had to work fast or else he's gonna go into a fit again if he sees the scissors. snip, snip, snip and there goes his first hair.....and mamarazzi was busy taking the photos...not too great photos but good enough to preserve the memories.
