A ham and grandparents.

We made a lot of plans for this long Labor Day weekend.  How many of our plans did we actually execute?  Maybe half of one.  I've been fighting off a bug since last Wednesday and was hoping that it would go away by Saturday morning since I had some big plans to spend an entire day with my sister, babyLESS, at a photography class that our wedding photographer and friends were holding.  Unfortunately, the cold persisted...throughout the ENTIRE weekend.  The bad news is that Daddy also caught a bug on Saturday, something entirely different from mine and spent Sunday and part of Monday in a pretty crappy mood.  This was the first time we both literally could not suck it up to take care of Bug.  I was literally falling asleep every five seconds and Daddy could not hold down any food he ate.  He spent all Sunday living off of saltine crackers and Gatorade.  We had originally planned to spend Friday and Saturday with my parents, with some plans to see a lot of friends on Sunday, but instead, spent the entire weekend at my parents' house so they could take care of Bug while we slept all Sunday.  Thank goodness for grandparents!  They're a blessing, aren't they?!?!?!

On Friday night, Daddy and I had a date night with Bug.  We learned she loves beans.  Awesome.  We also learned that she knows how to spoon feed herself.  Even more awesome.









While at our photography class, Daddy took Bug to her friend, Nathan's 1st birthday party!  From the pictures, it seems I missed out on one amazing Zoo Keeper birthday!  I had to steal some of these photos from the birthday boy's mommy since Daddy's hands were full with Bug this entire day. :)

The joy of the party, right?  :/


On Saturday night, my parents' neighbors were having a birthday party and invited us over.  I wasn't feeling well so before bed, Daddy took Bug over to say hello.  I figured this would take about 15 minutes. While surfing the internet for an hour, I started to wonder what was taking them so long.  I opened my Facebook and right there on my newsfeed was Bug!  She was hamming it up for everyone and they had taken photos and posted them on Facebook!



A sick Daddy and a stubborn Bug who had to be walked for a nap.


On Sunday afternoon my parents took Bug to my brother's Labor Day party.  Here's what happened while Mommy and Daddy weren't looking.


Pretty sure Daddy does not approve of this.

My daughter is a ham.  Grandparents are awesome.

God Bless,

4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 month Cub (9, 10, 11 too)

Clearly I've missed a few monthly updates of the Cub.  I apologize.  We were busy and life has literally taken us for a whirlwind ride.  To be really honest, I lost a lot of motivation to write these past few months because I've every time I started to write, all I could think to write about was my grandpa, Papang, how much I've missed him, and the endless tears that came out when I thought of him.  Every time I reflected back on the moments with my kids and my family, I seemed to cry, thinking of how much he's missed even in the short 5 months he's been gone.  After months of tears and prayers, I feel like I'm officially starting to feel like I'm healing.  While I know I may not heal completely, I can function without tears flowing from my eyes every moment of silence. Cubby has grown quite a bit (to say the least) since my 3 month update.  Here is the gentle giant's growth in months 4, 5, 6, and 7. This weekend, Cubby turned 8...

A Kinder Grad

Kindergarten can really take a toll on the parents.  (Yes, I meant to say parents.)  I knew we were in for a lot of activities and volunteering, but I did NOT know that it would become a second job to be an involved school parent.  I was told that by volunteering and being involved, it would give your kids (and their classmates) all the benefits.  At a private school (especially a Catholic private school), if there aren’t any volunteers, there aren’t many activities.  So ultimately, I knew I had to participate.  Could I have cut down on the activities I chaired or took part in?  Sure.  Why didn’t I?  [Insert long sigh here.]  Because in the end, I realized that I wasn’t sending my child to a private school because it was better than the public schools in the area.  (We actually have great public schools in our district.)  I was sending my child to a private Catholic school so she could learn about her faith.  The most imp...

9 years later...

This is the story of a dentist-in-waiting-nomad, Angela (a.k.a. my sister, "Ate"-[for those who don't speak Filipino, pronounced "a-teh"]) and a basketball playing of an engineer. Freshman year: boy sees girl and never speaks to her. Senior year: boy befriends girl's sister and gets his chance. A winter formal came along. Boy asked. Girl accepted. Boy meets girl's brothers (eek!), mom, and dad (EEK!). They danced. Girl moves to San Francisco, then San Jose. Boy moves to San Jose. Boy moves back to Valencia. Girl stays in San Jose. This summer, girl will move back to Valencia. Soon, boy and girl will finally be getting married! 9 years later! I have yet to express how excited I am that my sister and Louie are finally getting married. (Not that they needed to tie the knot to officially make Louie a part of our family.) For nine years, Louie has become another big brother to me and an Uncle "Looouuuwweeeee" to my nieces- always willing to d...
