It’s a must
We had the lamest excuse of not going to church today and that is getting up late. 
Ella was the most disappointed and I just realized we should bring her to church every Sunday morning because she detests the evening worship. When I told her we will go to the mall first and proceed to Matina for the evening worship, she protested violently telling me she woke up early because she wanted to go to church in the morning because evenings don’t have Children’s class. I know, I know….the bad parents award goes to us. 
Anyhoo, even if justifying it won’t make any sense at all….I would just like to write down here that Donald and I are both working online until late last night (he even left the laptop on while it was running some seo tools software thinking it will get done before we leave for church in the morning) not to mention it was hot like hell that made me stay up longer, then the aching head and back that I got from the scares brought to me by the little fella with his rolling over and snake crawls. Many times did we catch him near the edge of the bed even if we just put him a while ago in the side of the wall. So back on the disappointed Ella…..since it will take us an hour to get there, we faithfully sworn that we will not miss morning service anymore (so help us God).
I just didn’t realize that our 15 month stay in Trento had made a great impact to her. She’d knew it was Sunday because Donald plays acapella Christian songs while we are still in bed. She will wake up hearing the songs and she even memorized even the part of the base and alto. 
Then she is used to me teaching them at Children’s class. We live in the parsonage right next to the chapel so she was never absent from the class (except when we had trips to the city) and that is what she is missing. I honestly thought it’s fine with her to be absent once in a while. Now I know it would be a major disaster. Read the rest of this entry »
Eman turned 6 months
Yesterday was special because Eman turned 6 months old and it was “Family Day” for Ella. I am becoming lazy in taking pictures of the kids which is bad since Eman is showing more antics than ever and I missed to capture most of that. So to mark this day, I propped him on the bed and started clicking away.
He seemed not so in the mood for photo shoot. 
then he started praying or was he counting his little fingers?
Our very short vacation
This a long overdue post but I am always a believer of the adage “Better Late Than Never” so here is my more than two weeks late post.
.
Last June 25 and 26 we were in Davao City. That was Thursday and Friday but Ella has no class so we decided it is best to travel that time so we could be back when the Balikbayan boxes arrives here. It was originally addressed to my sister Crislyn’s apartment because we were planning to move to Kabacan last summer. It took 5 months to get those most awaited boxes due to some delays. Well when Eman did come out all plans must be canceled for financial reasons and we were lucky that the forwarding company let me change the address from the city to the province.
.
We left Trento at 10:30am and we were already in Davao at 2pm. Since the bus takes the route that passes by SM, we got off there and went inside to look for the little boy’s clothes. He has outgrown most of his baby clothes so fast and at 3 months, he wears 6-9 mos or 9-12mos clothes! There’s not much on sale there so we headed my sister Crislyn’s place at almost 6pm.

Back to blogging
I feel like a lurker here in my own blog. So sorry for neglecting it but hey I have a very demanding little man here, then I (and Donald) were trying not to miss a day to submit the daily target of assignments. I have been juggling my time between my online job and my online game. I am now on level 24 in Farm Town and I can upgrade my farm lot to the biggest one with only a few xp points. If I can get that done, I will be back to blogging regularly again. Then when I was bout to write a decent post yesterday, I can’t get in my site. It was the first time that I was thankful my server was down because I had a very good reason for not blogging. I have too many stories to tell and too many pictures to share but the camera died while I was trying to upload it on the computer. Promise to do it soon. Looking forward to writing about our latest trip to Davao last week, then the boxes from Mama Ingrid finally arrived, Cheche’s unplanned short vacation here and some more stuffs that I hope I could still remember.

Yesterday we brought Eman to the center for his last DPT shot and it went fine. Our little man now weighs 8.6 kls (18.96 lbs) at 3 months and 10 days old. I checked on Ella’s baby book and I found out she had the same weight as his when she was 5 months old. We were not the first to arrive but we were the first to leave. Remember the first time we went there, we were the very first to arrive but we were not the first to be called so I learned my lesson there. It is not all about being early but it all depends on luck because the people there are not that organized and shuffling every records they had on hand.

Camera Critters #35
This is one of the “grass cutter/lawn mower” at the farm of my in-laws. This snobbish cow is as snobbish as her calf. Ella can’t get near them even for a photo opp. I say she is just one of the many because there’s a herd of goats which help her cut the grasses.
