Boxing Day '08

It's the time of the year again where everybody is out to join the last installment of the annual stocktake sale.
I went to Myer this morning to grab a set of Mini-Jumbuk quilts, Sheridan bedsheets and towels on sale. I'm happy with my purchase as most of them are 40% off which is I think did not happen last year.
Plus, we were able to buy a nice car seat for Lori.

Anyhow, the Recession might be one of the issues that would stop people from spending money nowadays. But we're still grateful that somehow we still manage to buy what we want once in a while.

Christmas '08


Our second Christmas in Melbourne.
Prepared pansit, beef morcon & leche flan for Noche Buena.
Attended a gathering with fellow pinoys few hours ago.

At home, Lori loved the opening of presents. As usual, she got cute toys & lovely dresses.

We're glad that Lori was amazed by Elmo.
I got a pretty night gown, parenting books & Ton got new shirts.


We thank the Lord for all the blessings this year.
MERRY CHRISTMAS! :)

Baby Ethan

Sunday, we visited the couple Ariz & Roch and their first born, Ethan.

Roch & I almost have the same "birthing story" -- 20 hours of labor, same hospital and pain relievers rescue!

Well, I'm sure the new mom was strucked by baby love upon seeing her boy.
Ethan is so gorgeous.

Ohh, how I love the sight of newborn babies and how they sleep at peace.

Elmo Live


This is one of the toys that made me gawk and giggle like a child.
I hope my baby girl will love our gift when she opens it on Christmas eve.

Gathering at Taylors Hill

The weather yesterday was a bit bad but that didn't stop us to meet our pinoy close friends and have a simple assembly in Apiado family's residence at Taylors Hill. A 30-minute drive away from the city.



It was a pre-christmas celebration.

Good and yummy food were served.

Lots of games (both for kids & adults) were played.


We also had kris kringle.

Lori received lots of gifts from her fellow kids.


Of course, she enjoyed playing with them as well.

Julian & Siony's 50th

One of the main reasons of our Manila trip was to attend and celebrate the golden wedding anniversary of my parents in-law.




It was held last November 16 in Quezon City.
Thanks to my brother in-law, Kuya Sonny (who organized everything) for making this event a very momentous one for all of us.



Tonton, Lori and myself were part of the entourage together with the rest of Morasa family.

I know my husband was very proud of his pamangkins as everyone of them showed their talents and messages as part of the reception's program.



Tears & laughter filled the occassion. Especially when Tonton gave his heartfelt speech for his beloved parents. I was so proud of my hubby.



It was a once in a lifetime celebration that we really couldn't afford to miss.

Subic Trip

We're back in Melbourne and despite of our hectic schedule in Manila, we still had the chance to go out of town with my inlaws during our second week. It was a short notice trip but we were able to buy some swim stuff for Lori as it was her first time to go to the beach.



Lori loved the sand and the water. She wore her first two-piece bathing suit (soo kikay!) and she looked adorable while playing with her cousins.




I allowed Tonton to bring her to the sea and make "tampisaw" in the water. I just can't contain my happiness to see my baby loving the nature.


Just one of the pleasant days to remember.
