MY NEIGEL...

Last September 25 is the 10th birthday of my son Neigel...grabe he's so big he can easily pass as a 13 or 14 year old! And he is getting taller and bigger everyday...we had 3 celebrations for his birthday, the 1st one (September 22, Saturday) is an advance dinner treat of Angkong Joe at A Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante in Hypermart, Pasig...
then on September 23, Sunday after attending Sunday Mass, D'YAPS (as we like to call ourselves- me, nelson & the two kids) went to Galleria for lunch, as Neigel requested that we eat at Yoshinoya (one of his many favorite resto) and to buy his birthday gift (transformer figure - barricade),

the 3rd celebration is
on the actual date of his
birthday, we had a simple get together at our house...he requested that I make my famous pasta in white sauce (which is my own concoction-naks yabang), cheese sticks, garlic bread, Angkong Joe ordered Savory Chicken, Tita Raquel ordered barbeque, Bet bought ice cream...Neigel got to blow 2 cakes, 1 from Ama Linda & Angkong Joe, and the other one from Syobe...
He's so happy with all the presents he got that night...
short pants from Tito Laurence & Tita Jing,
short pants also from Lolo Andoy & Grams,
4-D Jet figure from Tita Raquel,
Dickies Jacket from Angkong & Ama,
Snorkling Set from Don Kulog, Uncle Paking & Pops...

My Babies

These are my babies...
they are the joy in my life, look at them now...
so grown up,
Neigel is going to be 10 this month (his bday is on the 25th), he now wears size 6 shoes in mens and size 8 1/2 in womens (he has been using my fila & k-swiss for months now), in a few more months he and ama Linda will have the same height (he has already towered over grandma Cora), he also starts wearing Nelson's jerseys & basketball shorts!!!...
Nadine, my baby, is already a young lady (actually a "kikay" lady), she now chooses her own clothes to wear, what bag to bring when we go malling, she has more collections of bags, make-ups, lip glosses, hair accessories, jewelries than me!!! And she has upgraded her choice in books, before she loves reading short stories but now she started reading short novels (she just can't seem to get enough of Junie B. Jones!!!).


I can still remember the cute & chubby little kids that used to snuggled in bed with us, time sure flies...I'm proud to say that I'm one lucky mom, I was there to witness all the "first" in their life...the first word spoken, the first step taken, the first day of school, the first graduation, the first game won and the first game lost...and I will be waiting for the first heartbreak and the first big success...

the line to God is never busy...
