Missing in Action

I have declined so many invitations from my high school friends that I’m really so embarrassed already. When Z had his baptism they all showed up for support but I hadn’t repaid the favor and missed all their important occasions. They are now settling down one-by-one and having their own children’s baptism but I have missed all of those too. I’m really such a bad friend. If only Las Pinas was close to our home but it’s really far from us. I can’t go there alone without dragging my little one and my husband but it’s hard to drag them with me. Hubby is already tired from work and I can’t expect him to drive me all the way there. Now this March they’re again planning to go to the beach but I have to say no again. My dad already invited us already to go to the beach and there won’t be enough time for another. Did I tell you I’m such a bad friend?

Going to the Beach

As if my musings were heard a couple of days ago about missing my hometown and the beach, last Sunday when we visited my Dad he invited us to go to the beach this Holy Week. At last, I would be able to see the beach again after three years and Z too! This would Z’s second time to go and I’m so excited for him. I knew he would be hesitant at first but after feeling the sand on his toes and seeing the vast ocean I’m pretty sure he would come to love it too. We would have plenty of time to frolick in the sands as we are going to be there overnight. As of now, I don’t know yet where we would go. My dad said they went to Bataan the previous year but still not sure if we’re going there.

Fun Day

We’re off to school today as Z and the whole Preschool Department celebrates their Fun Day. Maybe this is the equivalent of family day in their school as parents are required to attend too, sporting the right t-shirt color. Ours is supposed to be orange but I don’t have one so I’ll be wearing something that looks orangey, kinda.
Anyway, we also have to bring food for potluck and since yours truly can’t cook I’ll just be bringing bibingka which I bought from Aling Kika’s. Wish us luck as there’s going to be almost 100 kids in one place plus their bewildered parents in tow which would surely overwhelm Z and his mommy.

Valentine Dreaming

Valentines is almost here. Hubby and I are racking each other’s brain for the perfect place to go on Valentine’s Day.  I wanted to watch a concert. He was not too keen on the idea but I kept on asking him which one he likes to see. When he heard that the concert of The Killers was cancelled he said that’s what he wants to see! Hmp, so fine if he really doesn’t like then we will not go to a concert.

He then suggested we go to Noah’s Park in Montalban. I checked it online but I don’t feel like going there on Valentine’s Day. It’s not romantic enough for me.

Anyway, I was blog hopping and then I found this:

Magic Trick

This is one of the many happy scenes during Z’s birthday party. Kuya Mau just performed a magic trick on him by pulling out a banana out of his ear. Just look how surprised he was! I’m so glad I was fast enough to catch it on camera.
