cut! hehehe

attentive

i love it how keyla listens to every word i say when i talk to her.

as if she understands

as if she digests and processes the words

as if she's ready to fight the world equipped with what she was just taught

as if!

grow up to be a good listener, baby girl!

grow up to be a good learner, baby girl!

not so much with the academics, but with things that really matter in life :)

baging

i love it how keyla plays with my hair.

yup, i know my hair is dirty.

and she shouldn't play with it

'cause she'll put her hands in her mouth later.

but she'll grow up soon

by then she'll be less fascinated with small, silly stuff.

life my hair!

keep the fascination alive, baby girl!

you'll grow up soon :(

hold me now

i love it that keyla now knows how to hold her bottle (sometimes).

she now knows that if she kept the bottle still, it will give her what she wants.

she has these pink bottle handles and those are so useful!

sometimes, she accidentally pulls the bottle out of her mouth.

and she attempts to bring it back.

only, the bottle goes straight to her nose or to her eyes!

almost there, baby girl!

you are growing too fast.

lechon?

i love it how keyla wraps her legs around the arm of the person feeding her.

we have no idea why she does that.

"you are not going anywhere! i need my dede!"

baby, don't do that so much... you look like a lechon.

but a very cute lechon! :)))

love ko to

we were so happy with don m's birthday surprise party at kbox that we didn't want the night to end. as in! we were possessed - not with evil spirits. we were intoxicated - not with alcohol. we were high - not with drugs. nothing worldly, only good company and laughter. and it was enough to keep us happy for how many hours.

from kallang, we wanted to do something different and bold. take note: it was past 10pm then. we thought of going to the night safari, sentosa beach bars, or sentosa bonfire, or go to a cozy hotel and have coffee and lots of talk. we ended up going to fort canning park! we didn't find any tambay spots there but, believe it or not, we hiked at fort canning part at the wee hours of the night! we didn't have anything but our funny remarks. wala kaming napala. we kept on searching for this bar but we didn't find it. in the end, nauwi rin kami sa...

kallang leisure park where there's mc do 24 hrs! sinapian talaga?

so there we were, we ordered coffee and chocolate drinks courtesy of don m.

here's my choco cup! i love how it smiled back at me. it almost hurt me to consume the happy face... but that's life. he had to go.

and a thousand and one fries! masarap bagong luto.

we stayed there until around 5am! we were just telling stories, funny ones and serious ones. i will never understand why we always choose to "stay together" for soooo long every time we meet. misteryong malupit... bizarre... pero masaya kami :) all the time!

kbox parteh parteh ni marco

noong lumipas na kaarawan ni don marco (sya kasi ang pinakamayaman sa aming samahan), naisip naming sorpresahin sya ng salu-salong may kantahan. bakit kamo? dahil mahilig syang kumanta. yun lang hehe. naisip din naming maging sporty sporty tulad ng swimming, bowling, dahil mahilig din sya dyan. pero pilay si mike kaya kantahang walang patid ang nagwagi. di na rin kailangan mag-abalang magluto dahil may kainang wantusawa! so solved na ang mga chikiting.

magaling si anne. nadala nya si marco sa kbox sa kallang leisure park. sa kabila ng pagsusungit ng matandang, mayamang, matagal pang mamatay na si don m, nasorpresa naman sya :)

heto't masdan ang sampol sampol ng mga pagkain galing sa buffet. ok na. masarap naman at nakakabusog. maki lang ang napicturan ko pero kumpleto naman mula pampagana hanggang disyerto (wow disyerto ang tagalog ng dessert? hahaha nabuhangin lang). busog ang lahat sa pagkain at inumin.

'di lang sa pagkain busog ang mga bagets, pati sa kantahan. ay! wag ka, walang nota at letrang pinalagpas. sulit na sulit ang bayad namin! ayos kasi may mga opm! galing talaga. enjoy. patok ang lady gaga songs lalo kay mike!

so... happy ang lahat! sayang hindi nakapunta yung iba pero masaya pa rin naman :) sa sobrang saya, mistulang buntis ako sa picture. asus!

maligayang bati, don m! iba ka!
