It was our first Christmas without mama. We didn't want to just stay at home and be sad about it. I know mama wouldn't agree with it. And so we went to Chemas by the sea. And we're glad we went out. Everyone had a great time. And papa got an idea for his beach house. haha

I think the kids had the most fun.

Beads and Baubles

This is the new craze in our home. The kids are making bracelets... and more bracelets.

Manila Ocean Park 2013

The kids had been waiting for this for months. So imagine how excited they were when we finally went here. As you can see in the photos they had a blast.

M kept pointing everywhere.

We had to keep holding M during photo-op. He couldn't keep still.

M's favorite... popcorn.

Congratulatiobs to the New Diplomates

Last November 30, 2013, my husband took his oath as a new diplomate in general surgery.  There were 58 new Diplomates from all over the country.  It was never an easy road. I saw him burn the midnight candle, making powerpoint presentations, studying for an exam or reading before doing any surgical operations.

I saw heard him talked about work, his colleagues, his frustrations and his achievements.

So to you dear hubby, Congratulations.

Dr. Glinard Quezada, Dr. Jaysum Val Ligue, Dr. Virgilio Bonleon

Thank you Cef of Kasuotan for my gown.

Awake and Asleep

This is how they are when they are asleep, quite, barely moving... peaceful.

And this is how they are when they are busy with technology. See any resemblance? :)
