Birthday!

Yesterday, my wife celebrated her birthday in a completely different manner. Usually we go out as a family for a swim or to eat somewhere nice – but this time around my wife opted to spend her special day participating at our women’s ministry event. The event was fun, with over 100 mothers within our community sharing the stage and their stories with plenty of food on the a buffet style table.

Different groups of moms showed their skills through presentations, first one was a touching drama presentation complete with nice props (though I wish they had a hanging chair in one of their scenes). There was a choral number that sang a joyful tune and ofcourse there was a hip dance number which my wife was part of.

Instead of enjoying herself, I was surprised to see my wife help out on the event and she even ended up dancing with the other moms – to give glory to God. Happy Birthday mommy J!

My Wife’s Beauty Regimen

My wife said she’ not getting any younger. That’s why she has started taking care of her skin. She recently got this gift pack containing beauty products like cleanser, toner, exfoliant, moisturizer, and the best wrinkle lotion. She has started making it a daily routine to apply on her face. She said the results are immediate and her face is cleaner and less oily.   It also holds her makeup better.  I also noticed the difference.  Sure it takes a couple of minutes everyday to do the same routine twice daily but it certainly is worth it.

Kuya Z

In anticipation of our coming baby, we have been carefully preparing our soon to be Kuya, Z. Preparing him for the coming baby is just as important as mom J taking her prenatal vitamins. At first Z feels that we are just joking, but lately he is beginning to understand and is getting as excited as we are about the prospect of having a younger baby sibling. My wife’s belly does not show much yet but it is getting bigger and Z is taking note of it. We can’t wait to see how Z will take care of his little sibling – I am sure they will get along just fine.

Second coming

I’m not talking about THE second coming, I am talking about our anticipated second baby. Z is finally going to be a full pledged Kuya! Since Z is already 5, we decided to follow up and have another baby. We want our son to experience at least having one sibling that is not too far from his age. And we are thankful to God for giving us this opportunity for the second time. Now that my wife J is expecting a baby – we are looking for the right womens vitamins to help her and the baby in the first few months of pregnancy. This will defnitely be an exciting, tiring and long 8 months. But as it was with Z, the wait is absolutely worth it. What bothers me now is what to name our future son or daughter.

Happy Birthday to the Most Beautiful Girl in the Universe!

It’s my wife’s birthday! Since our car was on color coding today, we celebrated it modestly here at home. I was thinking of ways to make it more memorable, J has been checking out Disney vacation packages, or maybe buy her an LCD TV and was hoping to surprise her but at the end of the day that’s just not my kind of thing… I am simply not good with surprises and making special occassions memorable – I don’t even know where to start. But one thing I know I am good at: and that is being always there for her for more birthdays and to love her and to keep our family close and always happy. It’s a lousy excuse – but with the smile she just showed me – she bought it .
