The term Martial Arts is derived from the name Mars, the god of war. Inferred from that premise, you would understand why Martial Arts is a combination of various techniques, moves and stunts used primarily to defend one’s self against physical threat or harm. This special kind of training is used against violence and not merely to combat against another person who has done you no harm. But nowadays, this has also evolved into a routine used for exercise and discipline. There are many types of Martial Arts that you …

I bought a Hoops and Yoyo Birthday card two weeks before her birthday. I mailed it the next day hoping it will arrive around the Christmas season if not on the exact 18th. I was surprised to hear that it just arrived two days ago! Hahaha. Nevertheless, I wasn’t that disappointed. Why? Because my little girl adored it. Look at her! Smiling so much hearing all those:
“Happy Birthday!!!!”
“You missed it!!!”
“I missed what???!!”
“Hahaha! You missed the brithday!”
“Oh no, no, no, no, no!”

Its  card that says loud crazy greetings when you open …

It just seems to be like yesterday when we had our first Christmas as a family of 3 - Tabby, me, and our new born Yzzy. Today, we celebrate Christmas somehow differently. Christmas on the webcam. Nothing beats seeing Yzzy smile and be so enthusiastic in front of the cam. It really makes me want to physically hug her. They’re going to Tabby’s mom’s place tonight to celebrate Christmas like last year. These screen shots were taken just before they would pack up ad leave.

The family prepared this …

Finally, I see the birthday celebrant smile again! It was a long day for her, she was not in a good mood earlier. She probably wanted some time to sleep. But hey, she jumps for joy and raises her arms when she hears Mommy over the speaker. She was talking blah-blah’s too… She was noisy! ^_^ Daddy was opening the gifts because Yzzy was busy “chatting” and “talking” to her Mommy who just can’t sleep at 4:30 AM! I know you wanted to share to me your happiness Yzzy. Seeing …

It’s a day late here in Las Vegas. And I’m like 5000 miles away from home today - on this very special day. A year after the hard times of labor and the sweet pains it gave me. A year after the heartfelt struggles. A year after the greatest HAPPINESS that God gave me.
I’m reminiscing of the day Yzzy gave me a sense of importance into this world. So this is what being a mom really means. This is what life is ALL ABOUT. And on this …

This is the cake I asked Ms. Florianne of Nikon Cakes to make for Yzzy’s 1st birthday. It’s gonna be similar to this one but with with 3 layers. Chocolate base, butter in the middle and chiffon strawberry on top where Ariel,the little mermaid, will be placed. There’s going to be a big 1 on top as a candle, Yzzy’s name down the middle, and some seaweeds, starfishes and fishes all around. Some cupcakes will be surrounding the cake too. I guess Yzzy’s cake is gonna be an eye-catcher!

And here’s …

Today is the last day of November. Just the right time to start getting ready and busy for our baby’s 1ST birthday. Tabby and I wanted to have extraordinary memories of Yzzy’s coming birthday.. it will only happen once in a lifetime.. and so fast that it will just be a memory of the past..
Thanks to Bon Aserios whom I know would not let us down! Great photographer! More pictures coming really soon!

So it was All Souls Day, me and my family planned to visit our grandparents and our departed loved ones at my mother’s homeplace - Initao, Misamis Oriental. It’ s an hour drive from Cagayan de Oro city and it was Yzzy’s first time to see where her great grandmother and grandfather lies as well as her aunties and uncles on my mother’s side. I was excited to see her reaction. And so we left the house in the morning to beat the rush of people in the …

Hello my avid fans out there! As you would noticed I am already 10 months old, yes, you read that right. A kick of sentience dawns on me every month and you would surely get tempted to cuddle and play with me as my little, adorable body becomes active with what I think of. As usual, I have something for my folks, spaghetti and ice cream are our main stays on these kind of events, and Ate Ann and GG Mama had their stomaches full. But this month, I celebrated …
