And it's the last day of the month.... what a quick month! So i'm here now, gotta write something coz' it's the last day of September right =) I think this month is good for everybody coz' finally things are all going sweet and nice for everyone so that's really the best thing. Anyway this past weekend all my aunties came coz we had my Grandma's church anniv.... they had lots of food there, ppl were just trying to get in line and get food. Well b4 the food thing, of course we had our church ceremony and i was praying, singing with everybody there.... i had a nice dress on that my aunties bought in the Phil. so everyone was mentioning how good looking and cute i was with my big pretty eyes they says. i can never get tired hearing that coz' it's like music to my ears...heehe! well peeps there keep asking me to do my 'praising the lord' thing that Grandma taught me, and everytime i do it they just keep laughing and saying how smart i am too... at one point i got tired doing it coz' i was hungry so i ate first then after i ate they asked me to do it again! there were lots of kids there, they even dance, ppl there said that next year i should do a solo like singing or dancing or just read out something from the bible. Grandma said she'll teach me to do that so next year i will be up there too on the stage in front of everyone to see. I just love everybody... i cried a lil bit coz' they keep passing and passing me and i lost track of Mommy, Daddy and everybody, and like i said i was hungry too so i got kind of groggy... but then i got fine and i was playing in no time. I ate spaghetti, and some desserts... mmmmm yummy desserts.. i love sweets a lot... chocolate especially....then i get hyper and i just start tumbling, giggling and all that... when i get hyper all my aunties just laughs along with me too, and they just look at me carefully coz' they've never seen me so hyper like this. Anyhow this is it for now... gotta go now... my Grandpa will babysit me again tomm. coz' my babysitter is not available and Grandpa still feels weak, he's not been working for the whole week last week and maybe this week again, poor Grandpa, i hope he feels better soon.... everyone please pray for his strength back... i surely am with Mommy.

yay! finally things are going for my birthday... a lot of my relatives from everywhere will be coming, even the ones i haven't met yet i will be seeing for the first time on my birthday party... i'm really excited and all. Mommy is gonna go pick out my cake tomorrow with her office friend, she also bought more decorations this weekend, wow! she's spent a lot there already, even went by herself to Party City in Norfolk, coz' everyone was still sleeping and she didn't want to bother them. But we all get to go to BJ's this past weekend to buy more party things, thanks to Auntie Lheen Mommy can save some money going there coz' they sell wholesale stuff. She needs to go back there again but maybe she's going to the one in Richmond when Auntie Lheen comes visit coz' she's the one who got the member card. So far Mommy covered everything already, she already catered food but still gotta call them up again one week before the party to make sure, and more of my Grandma's friends offered to cook things so that means Mommy don't need to order those... the only things left are the desserts, Mommy needs to remind my aunties in NOrfolk not to forget to order them coz' they are very busy with school and all... I also get to visit my twin friends this weekend, they were kinda sick but still i had fun meeting them for the first time... i had fun playing with their toys everywhere in the floor...that was fun so thank you for letting me play with you. Grandpa is babysitting me today coz' my babysitter is not availabe.. Mommy was gonna call in sick today to babysit me, but Grandpa volunteered to babysit me coz' he's not feeling well also so he wants to stay home and rest today... so yeah Grandpa is here with me, playing with me, talking to me, changing my wet diaper and maybe poop, and also making me the best milky. Grandpa is so proud of me coz' he says i'm a smart baby coz' i'm always talking to him and playing with him and when he talks to me im really paying attention coz' he tells me stories about the Philippines and all. But sometimes i'm confused coz' he talks to me not in English, in ilocano...hehehee... it's cool 'tho coz' i will understand that too someday coz' Mommy will teach me. I think Daddy will learn that with me too... k then gotta go now and spend sometime with Grandpa and also uncle Dodong is here now, Mommy will also be coming home early today coz' she's tired too i think coz' last night we stayed up quite a bit... bubye now..laters...
09.19.02 Thursday
another week has passed sooo quickly and tomorrow i'm going to see Daddy again coz' Mommy, me and uncle Dodong will be going to see Daddy coz' he can't come to Richmond... i know i have been neglecting this a bit.. it's cause Mommy has been sooo busy preparting for my birthday. It seems like everyday she comes home late coz' she goes shopping for things and also yesterday she went to the Recreation where i'm going to have my birthday and talk to the lady. She's been so busy planning for the food coz' we will be catering and also cooking a lot... my aunties Del and Thogs will be in charge of the desserts so Mommy don't got to worry bout that, they ordered lots of things, and also Auntie Lheen will make some too and Grandma. Mommy hasn't ordered my birthday cake yet coz' she's waiting for her officemate to go with her, next week they will go. Mommy and Grandma already has all the menus for my birthday, Grandma will cook most of it, and her close friends will bring some too... but the rest Mommy asks the restaurant to cook coz' Mommy can't really cook, and she don't want to coz' she dont want to do lots of things coz' she's also got to do decorations for the place. There's going to be lots of people to go coz' Mommy gave out around 70 invitations already and still a lil short so she's gonna buy some more for her coworkers. I can't wait to see everyone there, coz' we will have a program and we have a DJ too so we can dance all night long. Mommy will also have the karaoke there... for those people who have pretty nice voice so they can sing for all. I will also have games with kids so i'm looking forward to meet all kinds of kids there. Anyway, Mommy has still so much things to do but she's having fun 'tho coz' first birthdays should be big and Mommy wants this to be special for me. Daddy also will take 2 days leave to help out, coz' he'll be carrying things back and forth and we'll probably be in charge of the grill...hehehe. k then, i gotta go now... well as far as my latest talents, i have so many now that MOmmy is amazed every time she comes home from work, but lately i've been into watching Barney videos and Mommy sings along with me while i'm also dancing... even 'tho this is a busy time for MOmmy and Grandma, they still have lots of time at night to play with me, and read me my favorite book. See ya all soon... take care always.

Well i gotta go now coz' Mommy will come pick me up soon.. and i gonna get ready for Daddy too... come back soon coz' i'm sure Mommy will posts new pictures of me... and have a great weekend to all of you... even the bad people too, i guess have a good weekend too... coz' God taught me how to be sweet to others even when others don't do thesame....
09.12.02 Thursday
Mommy has few minutes to tell you all what happened with us yesterday and the day b4 since Mommy has been soooo busy at work doing work, work, work... well and also she's been bugged down with my birthday plans, which we already got the nice lookin' invitations but Mommy still needs to add some things in there so she's not giving it out until next week. Anyway on Tuesday Mommy wasn't around coz' she did some things with Daddy, so she was in VABEach last Monday afternoon already, then she came back on Tuesday, she took work off on Tuesday too. As soon as Mommy came, she and Daddy bought me a toy, well it's just a lil toy, but i like it a lot when Mommy comes home from somewhere and she didn't see me for a day, she automatically buys me pasalubong. that night we did our routine things and i was so glad to see Mommy and Mommy missed me too even just a day we were far apart.... she was jumping and i was jumping with her, she took me right away and we were dancing together and i was giggling nonstop... even at night time i couldn't sleep no more coz' Mommy and I were so busy playing together. Anyway yesterday i went to see my doctor for another check up since i got that ear infection last time... the doctor said i'm fine, since Mommy got home from work early again, we had the whole afternoon together, and we went to the mall with Uncle Dodong. we were walking there and we picked up some things, I didn't like staying much in my stroller 'tho, if it's not moving, i cry and yell so Mommy will come get me... while MOmmy is busy lookin' for stuff, Uncle Dodong strolls me around, but most of the time Mommy just carries me.. and she said i'm heavy now, oh well.. i'm healthy that's why. but then after the mall i got so tired, so on our way home i was sleeping in the car already, then finally when i got home, Grandma was there and i was sleeping until i woke up and play again. at night time, i couldn't sleep again coz' i had a long nap, even Mommy was falling asleep b4 me but i was moving the bed too much coz' i just keep circling around and Mommy is scared that i might fall so she don't sleep when i'm awake... she waits for me to sleep first. the other night 'tho i woke up Mommy, and i didn't stop crying, so Mommy carried me and she was lullabying me until i fall asleep again... which i did but poor MOmmy didn't have lots of sleep that night... Mommy thinks i had stomache ache coz' as soon as she carried me i burp many times. Last night 'tho i was better so Mommy had some good night sleep too. Well that's all for now, i can't believe its Thursday already, one more sleep then Daddy will be here tomorrow... Mommy is very busy now for preparing for my birthday event, and she just found out that her friend's beau cannot dj at that day coz' he already had plans... i don't know what Mommy can do now, but i'm sure she'll think of something... she just wants to make this day happy for everyone.. k then bu bye.... take care always...
oh yeah one last thing, at the mall yesterday was soo funny coz' there's this guy i met at the foot locker when Uncle Dodong was shopping for shoes, well this guy was just looking at me and he thinks i'm the cutest coz' i just start talkin' to everyone there... when he don't look at me, i just start talkin' so he can look at my way again, and this guy said i'm pretty and smart too... i like starin and talkin to people that's why, and if they smile at me, i smile back too... so don't forget to give me your biggest smile when you meet me again..k lates...
09.09.02 Monday
oh wow, Mommy and Daddy's anniv. celebration is a never ending one... well coz' this past weekend, Sunday, Grandma cook a lot of food for their anniv... like pansit and others... coz' Grandma said if you celebrate your anniv. like this it'll be a long one... even Grandpa bought them a heart shape chocolate cake, we put candles in the cake and me, Mommy and Daddy made a wish and we blew the candles.. even I can blow candles now... i'm getting ready for my birthday that's why. so thanks Grandma and Grandpa for celebrating Mommy and Daddy's one year anniv. Daddy is a sweet one anyhow coz' even when he was away and there will be an occasion, like on Valentine's Day and he was out the sea, he still sent Mommy a dozen of roses.... and Mommy really loves roses, she loves gettin' them esp. from Daddy. I also went to church just like i said, Daddy was carrying me the whole time, but i wanted to get down and start walkin' so Daddy let me go couple of times so i can take few steps... my legs are really gettin' stronger... coz' i do get exercise a lot from crawling and standing and walking and falling...hehehe... Mommy can't imagine how i will be when i start walking for real, she will be everywhere the house just following me and catching up with me... even when i'm kinda sleepy already, i'm still moving around the bed, sometimes Mommy kinda gets mad coz' i move too much b4 i sleep, coz' i'm trying to get my good sleep but i can't, so i just move and move until i get tired then i sleep... i sleep on my chest, on the side, on my back, then sometimes my butt up, then goes in circles and then Mommy will put me to sleep properly when i'm finally sleeping... sometimes i sleep on her chest too so i can listen to her heartbeat... i move a lot when i sleep, sometimes kicking Mommy in the face.... and in the morning i just tug her shoulders, arms... everywhere to wake her up, but Mommy knows when i'm awake... she wakes up with my smallest cry, she really pays attention to me... well that's all for today, gots to go now and be really hyper again... i'm getting my birthday invitations today, Mommy still has lots of things to do for my birthday but i'm sure eveyrone will be helping her... don't stress too much Mommy, i'm sure this will be a nice happy event for everyone... later gators...
09.08.02 Sunday
Having a good weekend so far? i hope so, coz' i'm having a blast with mine. well just cause Daddy is here and i'm having fun playing with him when he throws me in the air and play see-saw with him... i just love when he's around coz' i can play tougher than when i'm with Mommy or Grandma. I woke Daddy up this morning, Mommy told me so, and i just went to Daddy and start shakin' him up and start baby talkin' with him... he woke up coz' he was kinda shock that i could do this now and understand what grown ups say when they tell me something. later on we will go to the church with everyone, this is my highlight on Sundays, coz' grandma loves to go to church and she teaches me to pray and how to praise the Lord... look into my pictures you will see how i praise our Good Lord and grandma taught me that. this weekend Daddy is busy to fix our stairs too, coz' Daddy and my uncle Tacky fix our flooring so i can be more active more in the wood floor than carpet coz' carpet is easily to get dirty and our carpte flooring was already old and dirty so Daddy was afraid i'd get sick coz' of that so he decided to change that and now that that's done, he's changing also the stairs to wood. Daddy is so good to me and he's the best Dad in the whole wide world... Mommy too is the best MOmmy coz' she knows how to take care of me, like last night i'm kinda fussy and i wake up at night a lot and Mommy just talks to me and says it's ok coz' she's with me.. and that makes a lot of difference and then in the morning i wake up early and Mommy plays with me already but also uncle Dodong came get me and wants to play with me too. so it's really good to be here with everyone coz' a lot of people can take care of me and everything is sweeter.... well this is all for now, Daddy will be leaving us again later tonight but i'm sure we'll see each other soon again and when we do, our times together are spent with more appreciation and love coz' we know how to treaasure each other better.... Mommy and Daddy will also be taking me out today coz' they went out to the mall last night and i was already sleeping so i couldn't go with them, so today they will take me out...k then, lates....
09.06.02 Friday
Yesssss, it's Frrrriday!... ya know what this means, Daddy will be coming over to see us and have more time playing with him. Also Mommy and uncle Dodong and me will do our routine stop at the mall every Friday afternoon, after Mommy's work, coz' she gets off early every friday. Sometimes Mommy feels bad coz' she don't get to spend a lot of time with me, esp. she's at work from Mon-Fri... then when she gets home from work she's busy to get me ready for bed, like give me a wash b4 i go to sleep so i can be clean and smelling good.... then when i'm ready to sleep about 9pm she takes me upstairs with her and we just hang out in our bed and talk and read and just giggle and playing together. Grandma is sooo good with me too, she's the one that picks me up from the babysitter after her work, and we wait for Mommy to come home, so while waiting, Grandma plays with me, and feeds me already then when Mommy comes home it's her time to take good care of me... then Grandma goes to do other stuff like cleaning the kitchen, since sometimes MOmmy cooks too... also Grandma cleans and boils my bottles every night so the next day i got clean and sanitized bottles to use. It's a hectic schedule for both of them, coz' b4 when i wasn't there Mommy goes to the mall after work everyday and just hang around there until she's tired then goes home and sleep... but now since i'm here i keep them busy but Mommy has more fun now coz' i'm not only the best thing that happened to her but also she said i make her the happiest person in the world. at night when i sleep already, mommy is singing to me 'beautiful girl'... and she just stares at me, coz' sometimes i get scared or i get bad dreams coz' i just wake up then cry, so when i do this Mommy holds my hand and start singing... she also just blurts out my favorite book and start telling it to me since that book is in her mind now, this things calms me down and i start sleeping again. last night tho i woke Mommy up at 6am, and that's the time that uncle dodong goes to school, so uncle Dodong came and get me and help Mommy... then uncle dodong gave me to grandma since Grandma wakes up early for work.... but then i went back to sleep again. i know Mommy is a busy girl and pretty soon she'll be more busy again coz' she plans to go back to school, but not until she can move with Daddy, and we'll all live together... i'm sure God is good and He is listening to Mommy's and Daddy's prayers....
and last thing, my 1st birthday is coming in a month or so, Mommy is really busy preparing this event, she's got a place for it already and she can invite up to 130people coz' this place is sooo big... the lady said it's for weddings, but Mommy rented it anyway coz' she wants my day to be special. Now Mommy needs to find a DJ and also the party supplies that she can rent, she already got an idea where to find them, so Daddy and her will go places this weekend to ask/rent. Mommy also ordered the invitation already, so i'm sure it'll come soon and she's going to invite everyone. my aunties are also gonna help her out since they are all soo excited too, even asking Mommy that they'll pay for things, but MOmmy said it's ok she can handle the big things, but they can help out on other small things since Mommy knows they are all students. I am the first baby in my Mommy's family, so i am treated with a lot of things, love and care from everybody, but i don't mind having cousins soon so i have also playmates... but Grandma and Mommy and Daddy and everyone else are good playmates nonetheless esp. my Grandpa too coz' after his work he can't wait to carry me already. Even tho they all work and i'm with my babysitter, who's also so great with me, i feel so much love by them. and Mommy's time with me is soo precious... coz' she said just looking at me makes her the proudest Mommy in the whole wide world.
see ya at the mall later MOmmy....
09.03.02 Tuesday
K, k... i hope to say only good things here coz' i'm a sweet baby and i know Mommy is doing sooo good and everyone else as far as raising me... i want to be friends with everybody so let's begin.
My weekend was great... i went to see my aunties and uncle came from PI... they have lots of pasalubongs for everyone, esp. me coz' they got me clothes for my upcoming birthday and lots more, my lola there also got me gifts like banig so i can crawl around freely everywhere without MOmmy worrying 'bout dirty floors. Well since Lola will be busy for few days at work, Mommy will be picking me up from the babysitter, and Mommy and I and uncle Dodong will be going to the mall later to get my Mommy and Daddy's ring resize. This was a long fun and kinda tiring weekend coz' we did so much... I even went to Lynnhaven Mall last Monday for Labor Day and let me tell ya, it was mad out there coz' there's lots of people shopping and Daddy had to look for a parking space and the guy was telling us that he almost had a fight just for a parking space. Mommy and Daddy are so much fun to hang out with, coz' they take me places all the time, but as soon as i get home, i only want to hang out with Grandma coz' she spoils me a lot and she just takes care of me the best. Mommy can't stand being away from me 'tho but sometimes she got to coz' she has to see Daddy too, Daddy and I played a lot this weekend too, even at the mall we hang out at the KBtoys just checking out toys... but since Daddy just got me a new toy, i don't have a new toy at this time... but he said he'll buy me this cute puppy dog that barks and follows me around. Daddy got me a splashin fish bowl that makes crazy sounds... and if ya know me, i just love to dance... and my dance now is more hyper than my ballerina one, they call this my disco dance coz' i just move my whole body and even my head and hands. I went to a party with Lola during the time that my parents had a dinner together for their anniversary... and i had so much fun at the party coz' i dance and dance until almost midnight, and everyone was just sooo friendly and everyone was just asking my Grandma if i was mix, and Grandma said my Daddy is half white, that's why. They all said Grandma i'm a hyper baby and a happy one coz' i just go with everybody... and they also said i'm tall for my age coz' i see someone there more than a year old, and i'm so taller than her... that's why also auntie Del and them had a hard time looking for clothes for me... they had to buy 2 years old clothes there. I guess i'm gonna be like my Daddy with my height and all... k then gotta go now and do some more crawling... and oh yeah b4 i forget, i took my first few steps this weekend, i made my Daddy and Mommy shocked but they're the only ones that seen it... also i can really tear up the stairs coz' i can climb the stairs so fast now that you gotta keep up with me... bubye all....
