Happy 1st Birthday, Miggy!

Our baby, Miggy-o, turns one today! His Justice League party at Shakey's was a blast. A lot of kids arrived, more than I expected, thank God. All in all, it was a super fun party. I will make a separate post on it soon. For now, I'm sharing Miggy's birthday cake, picked by his Daddy-o (a Superman fan):

Happy birthday, baby Miggy-o! We love you so much! :)


One Week to Go!

Miggy's first birthday is coming up... Exactly one week to go. I'm so excited!

He will have a Justice League party at Shakey's SM Marilao. He will be Superman, nonetheless. :) Just want to share the invitation (done by my graphic artist friend, Toink).


SuperMiggy!


I can't wait for next Sunday!

Surprise Birthday Gift

I'm turning a year older in 10 days and I got my early "surprise" birthday present from Hubby already. I'm so happy! Kindle Fire, baby. Yehey! Been wanting this since I knew about it last October. I was supposed to order one from my kuhmare Marge's friend, who were taking pre-orders of Kindle Fire at that time. After thoroughly thinking about it, I decided not to order because I thought it was more of a want than a need. The thrifty me prevailed. Hehe

Anyway, I never thought Paul would get me this. Although, he did mention that he had a present for me but he wasn't gonna say what until my birthday. It never crossed my mind that he would get me a Kindle Fire, because I specifically told him not to spend so much on my present. Imagine my joy when I found out what his gift was. There's just a different level of happiness when something you want is given to you as a gift (versus you buying it for yourself). 

Hay, Paul is just the sweetest. In fairness, keeping it a secret for more than a month is an achievement for him. I usually prod him to spill the beans (and I always win). Hahaha This time, he kept his lips sealed longer. 

Here are a couple of photos:

Surprise, surprise... Wonder what's in the box? ;)

Kindle Fire! Yehey! :)

I love it, super! Thanks, Daddy-o! Best birthday present to date! Hehe :) Will post a short review about it next time, after I've spent some time using and exploring it.

Thanks, again, Dy! Love you!

My Birthday/Christmas Wish List

I will be a year older (and hopefully wiser) in less than three weeks. How time flies! The past year has been a very memorable one; life-changing milestones occurred - I became a wife and a mother...  By far, these two are the most unkabogable blessings I have ever received. I am, and forever will be, grateful to God for all the blessings He has given me.

Since my birthday is just around the corner, I thought of making a wish list. ;) And since Christmas is just 15 days from my birthday, this will be my Christmas wish list as well. Aside from happiness, good health and world peace, I have some material things in mind. Hehe

World map
I want to put a huge, detailed world map up our room's wall. I just love looking at maps. I love geography. Side kwento: I remember in 4th year high school, I aced our history final exam - world map reading. In fairness, ako lang ang naka-perfect. Hehe Some got 99/100, I think... Apparently, I was the only one who knew where "Europeong Turkiya" was! Lol

It's a long list, no? Of course, I really don't expect to receive these stuff, WISH lang naman. Hehe But if my family and friends would be generous enough to give me any of these, I definitely wouldn't mind. :)

Advance Happy Birthday to me and advance Merry Christmas to all! :)

Miggy at 7 months

How time flies! Our (not so) little prince is turning 7 months tomorrow. Since it's a Monday tomorrow and we don't know if we could go home early from work, we decided to celebrate today. We had merienda earlier at Shakey's, SM Marilao.

Here are some photos from our simple celebration. So sorry, I'm posting this on my mobile and I don't know how to put captions on the photos yet... :)

Miggy at 2 months

Our prince is two months old today! We had a small celebration at home. Nanay cooked penne with carbonara sauce and I bought this cute dedication cake from Red Ribbon. It's simple but very cute, with the sugar confetti outlining the cake. 

Here's a photo of the birthday boy with his cake:

Look, Mommy, I'm carrying my cake! :)

Happy birthday, baby! We love you so much...

My birthday's coming up!

I'm turning a year older on Friday, yay! I need to post my birthday wishlist. I actually have a combined birthday and Christmas wishlist. :) Hope I could post that today so my family and friends can still have time to look and buy! Haha

Happy birthday, Nanay!

Happy birthday, Nanay!

You are the best Nanay in the whole universe!


We love you!

Happy birthday, By!

Happy, happy birthday By! Wish I was there to celebrate this very special day with you...



I love you! :)
