Power of 6 mini reunion

And so the much awaited reunion materialized after some two weeks of planning, texting and calling. Thanks to Gretz who found a way to be there even if you have work that day. To Aimee and Dhang who drove all the way from Boni and Pasay. To Aika who stayed late even if she so wanted to go home and see Shanelle. Grasya, hopefully sa October 18 uli, wag kang mawawala ha!

Our venue was a Veneto Pizzaria Ristorante in BF Homes Paranaque (although I think that part is still Las Piñas). This is in consideration of me (who cannot leave rather does not want to leave the house without Ayex) and of course, our preggy girlfriend, Aika.

Poor me waited for these girls for an hour! Buti pa si Ayex, busog talaga! Natunaw na nga ung mudslide nia eh kasi tulog xa ng tulog! Then finally, Aimee and Dhang who came all the way from Pasay arrived! I called Aika and Gretel (who we call the marathon girls) again for the nth time (I’m just exaggerating) to ask where they are. Sila ay nawawala pa rin sa loob ng BF! Apparently, they left turned when they were suppose to right turn. Hahahaha!

While waiting for them, the three of us, Aimee, Dhang and me took the liberty of ordering our dinner. We ordered carbonara with chicken, meatballs parmigiana, family platter, and medium size special pizza.

Finally the marathon girls found us! Hoorayyyy! By this time, the food we ordered were all ready! As we eat our hearty dinner, we listened to the much awaited chismis from Gretel and Aimee! Super installment ang kwento ni Gretz, nakaka-antok at nakakabitin! Biro lang Gretz. Aimee on the other hand, mejo seryosong usapan. Si Ayex lang ang distraction namin eh!

It’s really nice seeing these girls again after a long time! Too bad wala si Grasya! Very timely din dahil akala nating lahat October 11 pa ang expected date of delivery ni Aika pero kagabi lumabas na si Claine Erich! Tama ba spelling ko Aika? Sayang I had to bring Ayex home already, hindi na ako nakasama sa Starbucks sa Caltex! So was there a huge discount?

I remember I said something to myself after watching Sex and the City the movie. I said that I wish me and my girlfriends can be like Carrie, Miranda, Samantha and Charlotte. What ever happens, where ever we go, whoever we are already, we’d always re-unite and find time to see and catch up with each other every now and then. I guess this is a good start. Maybe we can do this once every month. What do you think girls?

Thanks to Aimee and Dhang for the gorgeous photos.

Where was I yesterday?

I was on personal leave. Hahahaha! I didn’t checked my emails, no multiply, no gmail, no blog, nothing! I was too busy and got too tired by the end of the day. So where was I yesterday and what did I do?

In the morning, we tried to woke up early because we have to bring Ayex to her pedia in Capitol Medical Center (CMC) because her colds won’t leave her for weeks already! My gosh, the moment we’re supposed to enter the clinic, Ayex cried really really loud as if shouting Take me outside! Good thing there were no more patients except us. It turned out that it might be an allergic reaction to the climate.

The second half of the day was a history! Hahahaha! To Jen, thank you so much for giving me the opportunity! To Char, Jewel and Rowena, it’s nice meeting wonderful people like you and thanks for allowing me to share my story with you. Char, I definitely want more children in the future because of you. Hahahaha!

Curious? Wait for the sequel of this post to know the details. 😉

2-in-1 potty trainer

Cliche as it may seem but time really flies so fast! Last Sunday, while we were unpacking the things we brought from our trip to Lusiana, Laguna, Ate Meriam announced that Ayex will be turning 1 year and 8 months this coming Sunday – September 7. Then I said, she’d be turning 20 months old (I’m more used to counting by months) already, just 4 more months to go and she’d be 2 years old!

That’s actually the second reason why I pushed Mon to buy this potty trainer when we spotted it for the second time. In no time, she’d no longer use diapers and will even tell anyone of us when it’s time to the thing. I know I’m a bit ambitious because it’s still early to potty train her but who knows, she might like it after all?

And the main reason why I pushed Mon to but it right then and there is because it might go out of stock again and we’ll never be able to buy it for Ayex! Hahahaha!

I first saw this design in SM Southmall. I was doing the grocery that time with my mom. We’re already considering of buying one for Ayex that time but somehow, there’s a part of me that is not yet convinced. So I let the nice potty trainer go. After some time, we don’t have anything else to buy for Ayex when we go to the mall. I remembered the potty trainer. Every time we go to the mall, I’d go to the baby section and look for it but anywhere we go, they kept saying it’s out of stock. That’s why when we finally saw it in Landmark, Trinoma, I told Mon that we must buy it already and stock it at home!

I loved it’s 2-in-1 purpose: a kiddie chair and a potty trainer. When it’s not being used as a potty trainer, Ayex can definitely use it whenever she wants to specially now that she started sitting like a nursery with a pen and paper! She haven’t used it yet but I’m sure it won’t be like her crib that she never really used!
