WHAT REALLY HAPPENED:

WELCOME TO: Carla and Din's ... What?

Din's cubie

Carla's cubie

I didn't even dare take pictures of the entire floor but from the cubies above, I'm sure you get a clear picture of what it looked like.

We had to make sure Din leaves right away so the girls asked Andoy to go home with her since he's always the first one out. Yep, he left right away. WITHOUT Din. So Angelo had to do it. She was already suspicious because no one would leave their seats when usually, we'd be yelling for everybody to be out at exactly 9PM. We were scrambling all over to get everything in place!

Good thing the decors were ready and we just have to put them wherever. I've no idea how we got the balloons inflated without the two noticing when there's hissing and blowing and popping sounds throughout the shift!

Good job on the candles Trish! Only they melt after a second you light them! I may have eaten some of the wax.

I'm guessing they were touched by our effort that real food came! Hurray!

That's the sharpest and clearest this photo can get. No, I did not take this shot. Never trust Din with a cam ever.

Then instead of a party, a photo shoot happened!

Almost burned my fingers lighting them up!

We couldn't take a decent photo of everybody. I know we look like we just play around all the time, but we're actually very busy.

Happy birthday to the celebrants! Until next time.

P.S. The birthday song here.

Cheers to more cute animals, DIYs, pens and notebooks, cooking utensils, food, iced coffee, anything that tastes like toothpaste, babies and bunnies, photo editing apps, typos, more typos, Twitter, eating out, cupcakes and anything sweet, OCness, small fingers and puppet shows, Japan, hair advice, love advice, inspirational quotes, long and short e sound, and much much more!


 Meron pa! Happy birthday Ta Din!

*weep weep weep!*

No party or anything like that this year. Plan A was to watch Despicable Me 2 at either MoA or Robinson's Manila and head on to Manila Zoo or Museyong Pambata (or the other way around). But because of the weather and availability of the movie at those cinemas, we decided to watch at Festival Mall instead then the rest of the afternoon at Yexel's Toy Museum in Las Pinas.

Very proud of his minion!

Breakfast na naging Tacos daw na naging ...

Paki-explain kung talagang VEGETALE to. At bakit 60 pesos ang Garlic Rice!

Wala ako sa mood magpaliwanag sa naganap basta:
1. Dapat breakfast to or Tacos.
2. Pinagpalit kami ni Jamie sa pusit, si Mica sa mataas na BP.
3. Maaga nagsasara ang Korean store sa tapat.
4. Walang umorder ng beer.
5. Hindi ako makapag chicken (masyado...).

Where to next?!

Angero, Din din, Trish, Yuanne

Shortly after having lunch at Deacon’s christening and birthday bash, my mom, sister, and I went to Music 21 in Timog! Even the heavy couldn't stop us. "Sayang ang make-up!", my sister and I told ze mom.

Tricycle, bus, MRT, tricycle, and voila! We were in Timog in no time. Ulan pala ha. Walang ulan ulan sa mag-iinang gala!

Not sure if it was my mom's elem or high school class' reunion, gusto lang namin kumain ni sister.

Anyhoo, when we got there, my mom said we could probably operate the videoke machine (line up songs) since we're the bagets in the group. Sure no problem. Until one of asked us to quickly look for this and that song and queue as many as we could. Taray! May assistant. I was busy with my phone so I let the sister take care of the requests. Ayoko nga ma-stress sa requests no. Pumunta ko dun para samahan si mader at kumain, hindi pumindot sa remote. So imbyerna na ko kay Ate, pinipilit ko na si sister na kumanta na para mahiya na sa balat nya yung maligalig na Ate. Yun pala! Akala nya nagtatrabaho kami dun sa KTV and yun talaga ang silbi namin sa mundong ibabaw, maghanap ng kanta at ipindot sa videoke! Syempre funny story na lang pero kung hindi lang nakakahiya sa nanay ko at ibang nice na taong andun, excuse me ha! Naka uniform ba kame na may nakalagay Music 21?! At hello, ganda naming mga babae para maging taga-hanap lang ng kanta at pumindot sa remote. Joke lang. Parang nagkamali lang talaga sya.

Ang ending, umarte ang sister (kasi hindi maka-connect sa WiFi, belat!) at hindi kumanta, naubos namin ang pizza (sarap ha, in fairness), na-realize kong ilang years from now, ganun din ang reunion namin, at OA tumawa ni mother (parang malalagutan ng hininga, I swear!).

Sakto may couple na taga-Laguna so sinabay kame sa sosyal nilang Pajero, kaya bahay na agad kameng tatlo.

Yun na ang ending ng Sunday na 'to. Exhausting but super fun. How was your weekend?

Deacon! Bacon? Deacon! Bacon!!!

Welcome to the Christian world baby! Sorry we forgot to bring the remote controls. We hope the utensils were good enough substitute.

At Max’s Restaurant, Muntinlupa National Highway. Terrible, terrible service!

Anyway, happy first birthday cutie potootsie. Stay round and cute!

"The family that plays Judo together, stays together!"

Is this line copyrighted? Because if not, it's mine. I made it up!

It's no secret anymore that everyone in our family is a judo player but just to be clear, my folks are not your average judokas. They're the best in their respective categories during their days. And from how my mom and others talk about my dad, he's the best (better than the John Baylon)! Yep, we learned from the freaking' best.

I’m forever thankful that our Dad raised daughters who will not take shit from anyone. Daughters who, despite their lovely faces, can kick ass. Thank you mom and dad for not making life too comfortable for us; we learned the right way.

Happy fathers' day Pa!

Kahit ganyan ka, lab ka namen. Lalo na ni Tetet. :D
