Baby A's 1st!

Baby A celebrated her 1st month with a bang, with two chocolate cakes (with her name on it) to boast of.  Thanks sponsors!

birthday feast

Tatay Ilyo's 60th!

My one and only (ehem!) father-in-law celebrated his 60th birthday last May 31st and his children with a little help from his relatives and friends threw him a surprise birthday swimming party.

Photos below was the buffet lovingly cooked by Dete Irene and financed by Imelda, kudos to the both of them!

Happy looking / salivating *grins*.

Lechon Ulo by Mang Ruping's

Apple and cheese slices were added to make it a bit more food porn-worthy, hehe.  Truth:  the accompanying apple wouldn't fit the roasted pig's mouth, nagka-crack 'yong mukha nya kapag pinipilit namin ibuka kaya sliced apple na lang ang nangyari, hehe.

Movie Marathon = Food Marathon

One Saturday afternoon, while the monsoon rains brought about by some typhoon was lashing on our roofs and window, our family decided to just deal with being cope inside and do a movie marathon, syempre kapag may movie marathon, may food marathon din dapat, hehe.

Here's ours *grins*.

5AM loaf of bread, Oishi Krewers creamy peanut butter and Miracle Whip mayonnaise

Fried eggs and hotdogs, bread and Sarsi

smorgasbord of junk foods 

Okay, bring it on!

Easter Egg Hunt

We had our yearly celebration of Easter and we (our family) were tasked to make and decorate the Easter eggs.  Photo below was the result of our (hubby, son, brother and moi) collective efforts, but mostly it was hubby's, we're not all born artist you know!

We were supposed to start early morning but  because we're us (nocturnal beings and all), we were able to start an hour before lunch, hurhur!  We'll make Grandfather Time proud *grins*.

Calm after the storm, believe me it was pandemonium, I don't think anything in Tita Belle's house was left untouched.  They were looking for eggs like they'll win a million bucks for it, that's how game (and competitive) our family is!  Fun, fun, fun!

Granny's 81st!

Granny past away 11 years ago but that doesn't stop us from remembering and celebrating her birthday.  We weren't able to have a Christmas Party last 2013 so Granny's party became a birthday celebration con family reunion of sorts.  It was Kuya Toti's (uncle by my mom's side) idea *pointing at the round cake below* of letting us know that we're having a family reunion, too *lol*.

It was a night of fun and merry-making and it feels sooooo good seeing my cousins and nieces and nephews and uncles and aunts again, most of us live in the same barangay, but we seldom see each other, life and stuff just always gets in the way *grins*.

Super Late Post: New Year's Eve 2013

Another one, syempre kung may late post ang inyong lingkod about Noche Buena, meron din sa Media Noche, hehe...

Madalas ang pamilya namin eh mas naghahanda tuwing sumasalubong kami ng Bagong Taon, para daw sa kaginhawahan at maging maalwan ang pasok ng taon kumpara sa pagsalubong sa Pasko kasi sabi nga ng nanay ko, si Jesus nga daw sa sabsaban pinanganak kaya basta't may mapagsaluhan lang at maihanda sa mga taong dadalaw at mamamasko sa amin ay sapat na, ang mahalaga, we know the blessing of sharing.

Kaya eto na po, ang aming Media Noche...

Pork (liempo) slabs

barbecued / grilled pork (inihaw na baboy)

E's 9th! (Part 3)

E's third and last 9th bday bash, this time it's with his family naman, syempre need din namin kumain at maki-happy-happy di ba?

It was a simple feast, as his birthday falls on the day before Christmas we just celebrate it with no fuzz or most of the time we just make it sabay sa noche buena para tipid, hahaha.  I remember E celebrating his birthdays in a grand way when he was 1 to 3 years old but then I got old and tired of all the hassles and aftermaths of December 24 parties, after those three years it just became children's parties at school with his classmates and birthday con noche buena celebration at home.  Then he got older (he's 9!) and it became a cake-blowing affair with his classmates and simple birthday dinner with us.

Ha, how time flies?

thanks to pizza deliveries life is a beach *grins*

Late Post: Another Party

Almost three months ago, I blogged about my nanay's 1st birthday celebration on her 50th, with a side promise that I'll post the other one sometime this year, well dear friends, that time has come *raising hand in jubilation while saying yahoo!*

We surprised my parents (luckily, they have the same birth month) with a simple celebration at Tita Belle's house, as there are lots of kids in the fam and tita has a pool waiting to be dipped in, we decided on a swimming party, lucky us *grins*.

Late Post: Family Dinner on Nanay's Birthday

Another late post, teehee, this one was during Nanay's 50th, don't ask me when it was, you may faint from apoplexy, nyahahaha!

We had a simple family dinner at the exact date of Nanay's natal day and had a bigger one for the rest of her fam which I will post sometime this year *tongue out*.

Anyways, till next time *grins*

Late Post: A Year Ago, A Feast

THIS IS A SUPER LATE POST!

What's that? You're asking me how late? Uhm, would you believe me if I say that this post is more than a year late in posting *awkward smile*.  It's true though, all photos were taken the 1st of January 2012 *grins*, so yeah, here's me presenting our New Year's Eve feast a year ago, hurhur.

Calamari

Fried Prawns

E's Simple B-day Celeb

To those who knew me, at least, even a little, would have to know that my son celebrates his birthday every 24th of December, thus seeing the title means that this post is almost nearing its anniversary *grins* and because you already knew me, you won't feel even a bit of surprise and will just shrug your shoulders and say, "it's a late post, nothing new", hahaha, a very palusible scenario, right? :))

As per titled, E's simple 8th birthday celeb...
