I'm a mom! Unbelievable... She is finally here...




Danielle Beatrice. "Dani". Could you be any more perfect. God is amazing. He exceeded all my hopes and expectations. You're mine. I'm falling hard each day.

Scared, anxious, unsure... You certainly know how to take me on a wild ride. I've never been happier.

Wish list checked


Stil can't believe I didn't travel anywhere when I was pregnant and then I leave to a trip of a lifetime for my brother's big day on my 35th-36th week! I would never have guessed it a few years ago! And I didnt feel a thing!

To make it even more amazing, I got to do other things that I liked to do in Boracay!



Got to do Jonah's for their awesome shakes. They didnt have strawberry (my favorite) but liked the tropical fruit shake, too. Mmmm....




Calamansi muffins by Real Coffee. Oh so moist and citrusy. Thumbs up, up, up!

Did I mention, we walked from D'Mall back to Discovery! Baby in the bun and boty of us doing just fine!




Caught an almost sunset, too. Sitting there with Bryan, Gabby, April and Tito Nick. What could be better?

Prayer Answered





I was praying for so long. Dear God, let me go to my brother's wedding. God heard my heart and granted me this wish. After 5-6 hours of land travel (we had to go slow since I am 35-36 weeks in already), boat ride and supporter in place (thank you, Lesley!)... TAHDAH! Hello Discovery Boracay! I made it! Didn't feel a thing at all! This was all You, Lord!

Going a bit fruity




Lumboy season! Nothing like abuelita's lumboy tree. Soft, juicy and plump. Sprinkke a bit of rock salt, refrigerate and u have purple heaven in a tupperware.



Whenever there is lumboy, there is sarguelas/siniguelas. Dip in a bit of rock salt. I rarely met a sarguelas I didn't like.

God's Cake

An email sent by Tita Geline:

Sometimes we wonder, "What did I do to deserve this?" or "Why did God have to do this to me?" Here is a wonderful explanation! A daughter is telling her Mother how everything is going wrong, she's failing algebra, her boyfriend broke up with her and her best friend is moving away.

Meanwhile, her Mother is baking a cake and asks her daughter if she would like a snack, and the daughter says, "Absolutely Mom, I love your cake."

"Here, have some cooking oil," her Mother offers.
"Yuck" says her daughter.
"How about a couple raw eggs?" "Gross, Mom!"
"Would you like some flour then? Or maybe baking soda?"
"Mom, those are all yucky!"

To which the mother replies: "Yes, all those things seem bad all by themselves. But when they are put together in the right way, they make a wonderfully delicious cake! "

God works the same way. Many times we wonder why He would let us go through such bad and difficult times. But God knows that when He puts these things all in His order, they always work for good! We just have to trust Him and, eventually, they will all make something wonderful!

God is crazy about you. He sends you flowers every spring and a sunrise every morning.
Whenever you want to talk, He'll listen. He can live anywhere in the universe, and He chose your heart.

If you like this, send this on to the people you really care about.

I guess its official! I am now part of the Mother statistic! Its sooo surreal! A lot of people actually greeted me, too. And to think I have two months left. Talk about prepping me for the life ahead! Number one perk that I realized? I get freebies and discounts! How cool is that? Hmmm.. I could get used to this!

Belated happy mother's day to all the mamas and the papas in mama's shoes out there!

Yum


Don't you just love hot native chicken binakol with real coconut juice and bits? Light and hits the spot right there.
Had this at Pavia Seafood Place. A friend of Bryan's owns the place and I think its worth a stop or more :) Prices are pretty much worth the travel time.

Dog days



This is Abby, my cousin's newest addition to their family. She's the granddaughter of my late pugs, Siobe and Buknoy (my brother's name idea). Gosh I miss pugs! She wanted to give it to me but knowing how she is so attached to the father, Louie, might as well have her first. I get dibs in the next litter. Its just so hard when you're so into them already. Can't bear her going through the same thing.

Isn't she so precious?

In the meantime, have to settle with this one. A bit on the moody side but he just melts our hearts. He's particularly fond of Bryan. He knows where his food is coming from, obviously. Prince is such a quintessential lap dog. He likes to be hugged and snuggled.

laugh along








These guys are like my version of my Barney. Always tons of fan and always good for a laugh!

Wishing Jing was there with us though. Had an empty seat all set up for her. Our love to New York.
