Which one's better?

2008-10-31T10:36:00.003+08:00

Just like any other mornings, mom will wake-up early to prepare her and daddy's lunchboxes. There are times when she and dad leave together and there are times when mom stays behind (specially when I woke up before she can even set foot on the car). Mom will quietly fix some stuff in the room until it is time for her to get ready for office. Today is no exception. It is already 8am (mom's work starts @ 8:30) and mom is getting ready to take her bath when suddenly I decided to open my eyes and make "lambing." I made her open all my bucket of toys before I let her go to the bathroom. In 5 mins she's done and to return the favor, I assisted her in putting her belt on. She's really in a hurry so she doesn't have the time to even dry her hair. I have to shout to her that her back is "Basa!" but she never minds it. I fixed the bottom of her pants and tried to check if her blouse was tucked-in. After that she hurriedly kissed me goodbye but Atchi is in the bathroom and yaya was doing the laundry while mama has gone somewhere. She looked really confused as she doesn't want to be late at the same time she doesn't want to leave me alone. So she called yaya to go up while I do the usual mom tailing/tagging. Mom looked very sad as she saw me with my "dont go yet mom" look while she is getting ready to ride the tricycle. *Sigh!* Sometimes she wonders which one is worse, for me to wake up and she's no longer around... or for me to wake-up and play for a while then leave while I'm crying. *Another Sigh!*

First Dental Appointment

2008-09-27T14:01:00.000+08:00

It was a bliss! I behaved well the entire procedure and never did I complain. It was my first time so my dentist explained what she will do and showed me her equipment. She made me understand what I should feel when she start the process and asked me if it is ok before she proceed. My dentist told me I was so obedient, following everything she asked of me. Like laying in my back without moving, not swallowing, opening my mouth wide, and then finally gargling/spitting.

Squeeky clean!

Puzzle Lover!

2008-09-26T13:37:00.000+08:00

Here's some of my collection which I completed, arranged in line and then photoshoot:

Then I'm bugging errr, asking dad and mom to buy me some more.

Talkative me!

2008-09-26T12:18:00.002+08:00

Hey, I mastered my alphabet already and can count until 20 with 16-19 missing. I have so many words now and can express myself clearly. I love puzzles too. I have four 24pc puzzle and a 15pc Lion King puzzle which I usually play with mommy every night. Oh, and I'm requesting for more. I also know how to jump!

There may be times when I will go out of the gate shouting"Kids, where are you?" because I needed to play (and mommy can't help but smile because I talk like an adult looking for kids which were all bigger than I).

And mommy is oh so delighted whenever I hug her and I told her, "catch yah!", She finds that so sweet. While daddy and me were fond of playing rough with each other. I would sometimes whisper "tiptoe - tiptoe - tiptoe" until I was wrapping my arms around daddy's neck from the back choking him, and then he will carry me upside down... hahaha..!

Its so fun and Dad and Mom were around... except maybe when its eating time.

Another cancelled fieldtrip!

2008-09-25T12:34:00.000+08:00

We should have been having fun in the aerospace museum in Villamor Airbase, Pasay. Mommy even applied for her leave that day to be with me (and looks like she's more excited than I am). But due to bad weather, it was cancelled, yet again! Rain, Rain go away come again another day, Duncan and Mommy like to play!

ABC Music with Teacher Ces

2008-09-23T13:19:00.000+08:00

Dad and Mom doesn't have a clue on what we're doing in my ABC Music with teacher Ces but they sure were convinced that I so looking forward to Tuesdays because of this class. When mom asked me the night before what am I going to do the next day, in my hurried expression I will shout, "ABC Music with Teacher Ces!" There is this one peculiar day when all of the sudden I was very sick and few hours after I was completely ok, I insisted on attending ABC Music even if I missed my class with teacher Kat. There were times when Mom caught me humming and acting some songs and it really means so much to her. They have no idea how fun it is!

Here's one proof:

Mom will soon find out...!

Building a house with Mommy.

Walls made of chairs.
Roof made of huge blanket.
Floor made of soft bathroom towel.
Door made of movable toy rack.

Fixing my car track in a straight line and putting every piece of my car neatly from the starting line up to the end thereby making a major traffic! (in our room that is)
Playing with my Thomas and ABC train.

Arranging my mattress like a slide such that one end touches the bed and the other at the floor.
Placing my train on the upper side and let it slide down below!
and finally I slide (too bad the mattress cannot hold my weight...tsk, tsk)

As usual, I still love to tape everything in the wall. That includes:

some of the cool ads from the newspaper
brochure I have collected from outside
stickers
posters
some interesting paper

Play gotcha with mommy

Mommy at the other side of the room holding a small racquet
Me at the other side holding my own racquet and a ball
I hit the ball so that it will go to Mommy's side
Mommy will hit the ball too and try her best not to let me touch the ball with my racquet.
I win everytime I got to touch the ball.... and I never lose!

Swimming with Daddy every Sunday

Word Evolution

2008-09-05T12:28:00.003+08:00

This is how my words evolved and how my mommy remembered them:

Father - Code Name : Didi to Didis to Daddy to Daddy Ju-ju (when daddy is not paying attention)
Mother - Code Name : E to Wi to Wawi to Mommy toMommy Cheyi (when mommy is not paying attention)
Grandmother - Code Name : Ba to Mama
Favorite Mascots - Code Name : Je to Jes to Bee Kids to Jollibee! ; Do to Mc Do

Myself - Code Name : Dada to Dadas to Dunca to Duncan (most of the times I call myself Marcos!)

Bee Kids!

2008-08-28T09:05:00.003+08:00

I woke up today in a not-so-good mood. I caught Daddy and Mommy dressing up and preparing to go to their office. With eyes still closed I told Mommy I want to watch "Bee-kids". I also told her I want to go to her office too, thus, she was left with no choice but to cancel her plans of being early in office today.

After drinking my milk, we read my "circus" and "river" books and then we proceeded on making my homework. We're almost done, when I decided I really wanted to go to Bee kids (that's what I refer to Jolllibee now). Cry, cry cry for me.... while sigh, sigh, sigh for Mommy. After so much cry-sigh... I won! Its almost 8:10am and Mommy needs to be in her office by 8:30am so to be able to make that possible.... I definitely should go with her.

And so .... Mommy dropped me and yaya to Jollibee. Yey! I am really a (brat) bee kid!

Weekend in Batangas!

2008-08-18T18:14:00.004+08:00

Yey! Since it was a long weekend, we went home to my mommy lola's place in Batangas last Saturday. They were all very excited to see me and they were all so happy that I can already say my alphabet, count my numbers from 1-10, count numbers 1-5 in Mandarin, and I can actually speak words. They were having a hard time speaking in English though. hehehe.

Duncan and tatay lolo while cooking (inihaw na bangus... yummmm)

Duncan with Mommy Lola

This is my Tito Tebobs - "ang puti ko noh?"

Biking at the side of the house

Kung-fu Duncan

I got to bond with my "Tatay yoyo" and "Mommy yoya", and my tito Bobet and tita Angie. My "yoyo Rhey" was also there from Singapore... (because he needs to see a dentist). It was fun playing with my smaller tita's and really its nice to be in the "duyan" which was a new experience for me. I always tell my Titas to "hold tight and be careful!".

It was short actually for we left the very next day... but it was fun!

On Monday, holiday.... Daddy brought Mommy and I to V-mall where we ate at Le Ching (yummy soup and siomai) and I played in Quantum... I missed it so much that I really wanted to stay some more. At night time... I fall asleep with a big ZZZzzzzzzzzzzz!

Tomorrow's another class with Teacher Kat, and Teacher Cez of ABC Music and Me.

Of thank you's and Sowi

2008-08-15T17:43:00.001+08:00

Duncan ready to sleep:

Mommy: Duncan, you like milk?
Duncan: Yeah.
Mommy: Big or small? (pertaining to the size of the bottle)
Duncan: Big!

Mommy about to prepare the milk. Duncan came rushing. Wanting to prepare his own milk. Mommy will put down the can of his old time favorite powdered infant/junior milk and opens the Avent bottle filled with distilled water.

Duncan : One, Two, Three, Four, Five... oppsss... sowi mommy.

There was spilled powder on the floor. He will rush to the nearest "lampin" to clean the mess. Mommy about to touch the scoop...

Duncan: Mommy, No! Duncan!
Mommy: Ok... Sorry.

Will wait for few more minutes perhaps half a century until he finishes his 9 scoops of milk which should have been finished 1 minute tops.

Duncan: Yey! Finish Now!
Mommy: ok.. go to bed... mommy will shake...

After settling down.

Mommy: Here's your milk. Sleeping Time!
Duncan: Thanks Mommy! (complete with hugs and kiss)

Oh... every waiting minutes is so worth it!

First Assessment blow-out!

2008-08-14T17:59:00.000+08:00

There was no school today because teacher Kat told me she also needs to assess other kids. It was a good thing that I caught Mommy about to leave for office. Uhuh... so in order for me to stay calm... she promised me a blow-out!

I'am really excited and I can't wait to go to Jollibee. Yaya will be bring me to Jollibee, Roosevelt over lunch where mommy will meet us. Oh it was fun! While waiting I got to play on their Jolly Land and when mommy came, she ordered chicken, spaghetti and my favorite Frenh Fries. I even got my bonus... she bought me a toy.

And for the finale... she brought me to her office! I've got to see her officemates and I told them that my name is "Marcos"! Tita Ma-anne, mommy's boss, marked my height on the wall of her office just so when I come back... she will check again if I've gone taller.

I even counted and identified some numbers and letters in Tita Lot's flashcards and she seems impressed. I also kissed tita Yvette and Tita Lou and a high five to tito Mark. And then I bid goodbye.

So this is the kind of blow-out I will always have everytime I get a very good stamp in my assessment!

Till next quarter!

First Quarter Assessment

2008-08-13T12:32:00.003+08:00

Yesterday, it was Mandarin Class assessment... I went home with a stamp with a chinese-like character and a bear - for whatever that means... Dad and Mom has no idea.

Today, is our class first quarter assessment. I know my alphabet... although sometimes I confuse my Aa and Ii with some letters but the rest are oh so easy. I also know my numbers although sometimes I forget what number "1 & 2" looks like but the rest especially my 3-4-5 are easy and I can identify even in my sleep. Colors.... hmmm... its very strange that I can't quite identify and match them... but I know I'll get there one day. My assessment started 9:00am and ended 10:00am. I went home with a "very good" stamp. Well mommy will look at my communication notebook if I did well.

But I'm sure - she'll be happy for whatever it is written in there.

Mommy!

2008-08-12T12:42:00.002+08:00

Mom's really proud and happy because last night I surprised her with a "Hi, Mommy!" Yey! I got passed the "M" problem. I even called myself "Marcos", too.

Because you love me.....

2008-08-03T18:48:00.009+08:00

Dad and mom you sacrificed a lot so I can be happy and eventhough it rained so hard, I thank you Daddy for driving all the way from home to World Trade Center in Pasay City so I can be a part of .....Jollitown Grand Get Together !

That's me with the Balloon Mom got (oh she used her big body so she can get pass the crowd of people all ready to do anything for a balloon... funny, nobody can really say what one can ever do for their kid!)

Oh I was really afraid we're not going to make it because it took us about 3 Jollibee stores and still have no entrance tickets. But after all the very loooooooong lines you both have to go through I am really happy I got to be here!

There's the :

- photo booth (we have our pictures taken - for free as a souvenir) which Mommy and Daddy have to stand in line for hours... yes this is not exaggeration but the the truth

- balloon twisting (where I got my helmet and sword)

I looked like Alladin... hehehe.

- tattoo (which I treasured so much)

and basketball hoops - this I really enjoyed!

Shoot! (Did you see my jollibee tattoo?)

Hurray for me!

Some other pix:

With the techie Yum

With the sporty Popo

And my favorite.... Jollibee!

Family day in Milestone!

2008-08-02T19:34:00.008+08:00

I really enjoyed the games, and the puppet show, and the slide / play houses, and the food! Mom got to play on the name that tune game... but her group lost the game.

Waiting for my turn to play on the game...

Our group won!

Playing smoothly with my buddy, CJ.

Here's me and my Teacher Kat!

More words for Duncan

2008-07-26T17:44:00.002+08:00

Daddy enters the room and sees Duncan in the corner. Looks like he's thinking again on how to climb on top on the boxes.

Daddy : "Hi Duncan."
Duncan : in his deep thoughts blurted out, "hi daddy!" and then back to his deep thoughts again.

In the bed,

Mommy : "Duncan, it's Sunday tomorrow. Where are we going?"
Duncan: "Church!"
Mommy : "Who is in the church?"
Duncan: "Dunca and Jesus Christ!
Mommy : amazed. can't remember if she even told him that. "What are we doing in the
church?"
Duncan : "Pray!"
Mommy : more amazed. but then agrees with Daddy that what he really meant was "play" because basically he sees this as his opportunity to meet/play with other kids roaming around the church.

I'm 3 years old!

2008-07-25T17:54:00.001+08:00

A very serious birthday boy

"My hands are praying, praying, praying! My hands are praying just like this. Thank you Lord for the food we're about to eat. Amen!"

Happy Birthday, Duncan!

Duncan's 3rd Birthday Cake

My 3rd birthday celebration is quite simple but enjoyable. In the morning, I woke up and was greeted with hugs and kisses by Daddy and Mommy. I also went down the laundry area to greet yaya because it also is her birthday.

At 12pm, Dad and Mom arrived at the school for my party. I got so excited to see them! Mom cooked all my favorite food : kiddie spaghetti, hotdogs and nuggets. For the drinks, it was my favorite tetra packed juice. I choose Thomas and friends to be my theme but it was really hard looking for favors and cake to suit my theme. I think it worked out just fine, with my cake having Thomas at the center and everything else was a DIY. My friend, Nicco, lend us his Thomas banner (so sweet!).

I lead the prayer and then my classmates sang a birthday song for me under the parachute and then I blew the candle in my birthday cake. And then we eat. Unfortunately for me, I was so excited, I was not able to eat well. After eating, I went to give them their lootbags while receiving my gifts! Thank you to my classmates: Ayra, Julienne, Manu, Ria, Nicco, CJ and Iggy who were all present to celebrate my birthday.

We went to Trinoma that night to have dinner and to eat my favorite "chicke" at Bacolod Chicken Inasal. I usually eat half a cup of rice everytime I eat in this place and tonight is no exception.

Checking on the menu...

"Kinilig kay Juday!"

Tasting the soup

Duncan and Daddy

Mommy!

Dad and mom actually allow me to go wherever I want in the mall and so I went to my favorite part of all... the play area! I got to climb like spiderman! and to slide and to do anything I want! I really have fun!

How 'bout that?

In the evening, Ninang Julie was there to see me. Its been a year since I last see her.

Random facts about me as I turned 3:

- I'm the sweetest guy in the world.

I love kisses and hugs and when mom gets hurt, (most of the time because I am so hyper) I see to it that I touch her and blow the part where she is hurt. There is also a kiss and a hug ready when Dad and Mom arrive home from office. I love it when mommy rocks me in a rocker until I fall asleep. For sure she will terribly miss this when I grow older (by then she cannot hold me any longer ...)

- I usually like to be on my Daddy's side during weekends.

When he is doing something other than play with me, i'll see to it that I get the attention I needed. I climb on his back...press the keyboard of this laptop as fast as i can...seat on his lap...grab his screwdrivers and hammer or whatever it is in his hands while he is reparing something. Well, sometimes he just laughs at it but sometimes.... I ran to mommy when his face turned red. I like to follow him everywhere because I know every weekend is a get-away-from-the-house-day where we went to the mall, or grocery... I always wanted to be sure they will not leave me behind.

- I sleep beside Mommy.

We co-sleep. We have combined Daddy's bed when he was still young (which I now use) and a king sized bed so we have a huge sleeping space. But mom or dad carries me back to my pillow every twice or more times in the middle of the night because I always end up at the wrong side of the bed. The solution that mom did was to sleep at the bottom part so I am spared of ending up at the floor.

- I am diaper free.

Although sometimes... there were accidental leaks... it happens to everyone... right? I just cannot keep it a secret when I poop because it helps when I say o - oooooooooooooohhhh until I shout "finish now!"

- I am still in my infant formula

What can I do I am loyal to my formula? From NAN-HA 1 & 2 , I am now in NAN 3. Still drinking from my ever favorite Avent Feeding Bottle (I hate the smell of milk).

- I love singing and dancing

Mom and I sings "I love you song" of Barney every night. I sang to the rain to stop when its raining. My favorite song includes: twinkle twinkle little star, you'll be in my heart, Sesame st songs, Fun song factory songs. I dance to the rhythm of the song either slow and fast beat... hotdog, hotdog! (from mickey mouse clubhouse)

- I know how to ride my bike

But still with balancer. At least I know how to pedal the right way.

- I loved going to school

I'm very attentive... according to teacher.

- I have my own laptop (courtesy of Dad)

Where I usually plays "Jumpstart"

- I am so fascinated about all the things that Daddy do

Which sometimes puts me in trouble...

- I like going inside the cabinets

Entry to the left door and exit to the right door. This causes mom's insanity to kick in because then she will redo the folds of all the shirts inside.

- Eating is my less favorite thing to do

I'm a terrible eater as I don't usually eat by myself.... there were glorious times however, when I went to "Atchi" to request her to cook my chicken nuggets with fun shapes and eat the whole thing up without having to wash my hands in between.

- I hate dirt

My clothes should be always dry and clean, otherwise i will end up being naked. I hate it when my hands become dirty or sticky.

- I love to play

From stuffed toys to cars to trains to the things under the mattress to the things inside the ref to the things inside the helper's room, to the playstation of Ninong Ian, to Mama's make-up (they were nice crayons!), to the small fragile pigs under the living room table to the wooden cows standing at the porch, to the smallest garbage blown by the wind in the garage, to yaya's used water in the laundry area, to the soap in the bathroom, to the neighbor's cats and dogs, basically anything except cockroaches, living lizards and ugly little bugs.

- I love arts

I love to cut paper and then stick it in the wall using a tape. Our wall now was well decorated with all the stuff I wanted. Most of them were usually pictures of Jollibee, mickey mouse, cars, even my favorite "moonmilk mascot".

- I love bubbles

I love it specially when mommy blows bubbles when I'm taking a bath. Bubble in my tummy, bubble in my hands... bubbles... bubbles!

And Daddy and Mommy loves me so much.

Incident Report!

2008-07-15T17:12:00.003+08:00

The text from Teacher Kat goes like this... " Hi mommy Cherry, I would just like to inform you about an incident in school. Duncan was pushed by a classmate today while packing away which caused him to bump his head on the toy shelf. Teacher Joy attended to him and she put an ice on his head for 10 mins. If you like you can call me in school." Mommy's heart almost skipped a beat but reminded herself not to panic. First, she called up the house to see if I'm already there and to check with yaya if I'm ok and what was my head looked like. Then she called-up the school.

Apparently, I'am really pushed from behind in a flash! Teacher Kat told Mommy, that we were just packing away ready for the rest time / story telling when all of the sudden somebody pushed me from the back. She told Mommy, I didn't do anything to cause it from happening. I didnt cry immediately but I was inconsolable when it came to me that I was being pushed. (late reaction you may say). Teacher Kat told Mom, that I am always this pleasant boy and it surprised her to see me so angry! She also told Mom that I am this kind of person who keeps bad feelings inside. Teacher Joy put an ice to my injured forehead but after 10 mins, I wanted to join my classmates again to listen to the story telling. It doesnt stopped there because when we were about to leave the school and we were putting on our shoes, I happened to see the boy who pushed me and wanting my revenge, I went to push him but then I stopped when Teacher Kat told me that there will be no more pushing. (side note: Mom thinks I'm such a brave boy and believes that I will never allow someone to bully me the next time)

This little boy happens to be my buddy in school the same boy who wants my shoe. Oh my! His mom was so apologetic.

Now, mom wishes I will not put her in my buddy's mom's shoes. She was just not ready for that yet.

Weekend in Batangas!

2008-06-30T14:00:00.003+08:00

Its my last session in gymboree last saturday, it should have been real fun except that I'm still coughing. (Dra. Dumlao says that I'll be taking my Ventolin Expectorant first and we will come back again after 3-5 days to see if there is a development. ) The lesson is about building a house. I now know how to "hammer the nails, saw the wood, lay the bricks" if I build my house. I will miss my classes here but I still got my play coupons so I can still pay a visit over my friend gymbo.

In that same afternoon, it was finally decided that we push-thru our plans in going to Batangas. It was my Tita Kathleen's 18th birthday debut party and everybody is there. Too bad its raining so I was not able to watch. However, I learned to call myself "Daka Cos" (short version of Duncan Marcos). All my lola's were delighted seeing me again. Of course, I'm still the star of the show. They started to come over to our house once they realized I'm already home.

We came back again to Manila the morning after. Everybody is there to bid us goodbye.

What I nice weekend it definitely is!

School Matters: Week 2

2008-06-27T13:23:00.005+08:00

After knowing the "sirkoh", we now moved to knowing the parts of my body. This, I know by heart. Guess what my favorite part of the body is... it is no other than..."kilikili"....hehehe. I like it when I raise my arms and daddy will kiss me in the "kilikili" (perhaps its his favorite part of my body too!). I will definitely give a very loud giggling, laughing sound everytime mommy puts a ball in my "kilikili". And we usually play a game called... touch that "kilikili"! It really is fun.

We also moved to other shapes: heart, oblong, rectangle and diamond. I took home our art project and showed it to mommy. Mommy commented, "What a nice fan!". I said, "No! Its a fly". Then I made some flying motions and showed her a picture of a butterfly. I made it myself!

and we also stuffed a rectangle.

BTW, here is the reply of teacher Kat regarding my appetite in school:

"Duncan sometimes can't finish all his food but he eats what is required of him. He finished his beef macaroni and ham sandwich. "

I started coughing yesterday afternoon. Mom notes to my communication notebook that I can still play but that my back should always be dry. We will visit my pedia again. Oh boy, another round of medicines for me.

Dada's Shoes!

2008-06-25T12:36:00.004+08:00

Hey, its my 35th-month birthday! We have a class today so me and yaya went to "schoo" as usual. Snack for today is beef macaroni and Mom wondered whether I'am eating right in school because she knows I haven't eaten macaroni in my lifetime. Mom wrote to teacher Kat last night how am I in terms of my eating in school. Perhaps, teacher Kat has something to say because when Mom checked my communication notebook, its not in my bag.

Well, something happened today. At the end of our class, we went out of our room and went to our rack where we "hide" our shoes. You see, every morning, teacher Kat goes out in the school's waiting area where we are basically "waiting", to fetch all of Nursery 1 students (that's us). We fall in line and as we enter we take off our shoes and place it nicely in the shoe rack. We enter our room with just our socks. So there! When I am about to put on my pair of shoes, I found the other piece of my shoe in CJ's hand. He's telling teacher Kat and his mom that its his shoes, while I am sure it is mine! I asked yaya's help so she can get my shoe from CJ's. Teacher Kat asked me again if that's my shoes and I said, "Dada's shoes!" So teacher Kat recovered my shoe from CJ's grip which made him cry. CJ's mom wasn't exactly sure if it was or wasn't CJ's because she was not the one who bought his shoes. Yaya told mommy about this because apparently yaya was not sure either if it really is mine. You know what, when I came home, I made sure my shoe won't be taken from me again, I put it beside me in my sleep. Daddy confirmed that it really is my shoe and Mom put already my name in it. See, it really is Dada's shoes!

Presenting my 1st pair of school shoes:

Note: Its name is Edmund (model name) and it is size 10! See at age 35months I'm already a 10! We bought this from Market!Market!.

Tweet-tweet's Gone!

2008-06-23T18:25:00.004+08:00

First bad news was that I cannot go to my "schoo" today because it was declared by DECS that all classes were suspended. 2nd is that Daddy and Mommy were off to their office again leaving me with yaya, atchi and mama. Even if I did take Mommy outside, I still feel sad that I cannot go with her in the office. Then, the owner of Tweet-tweet came over to our house to get him. I was pulling Atchi's hand so he can get Tweet-tweet from that man's hand but... they just can't because it was not ours. I really am so sad. Anyway, our neighbor promised to give me a bird once his other bird's eggs were hatched. Sigh*, Oh well... I might as well be contended with my turtle!

My Friend Tweet-tweet

2008-06-22T18:18:00.002+08:00

There was a typhoon today but that never made my mood bad at all because of Tweet-tweet. Tweet-tweet was a bird who happens to fly over to our place. It has an orange and green feathers and a curved beak. I should have taken a picture but there was no electric current and my camera had no charge. tsktsk. Temporarily, it was resting on our old hamper.... and I know he calls me when he shouts tweet-tweet! Oh I love my Tweet-tweet!

Eating Time!

2008-06-22T12:24:00.001+08:00

Mom and I had a fight again. This time, its because I didnt take my nap and I feel grumpy already.... But I need to have my dinner. Since I still wanted to stay awake, well, I look for some ways to do it. The TV was already turned on as an added distraction... But I still ran in circle until mommy catches me and holds me tight. This is not good. I didn't want to be trapped so I did "again" that thing she hates me doing. Of course I cried afterwards and Mama is already there to "rescue me". Poor mommy did not know what else to do but to call yaya. Good thing Yaya came to our life because she is just so patient with me.... specially feeding me. Mommy ends up carrying me while yaya feeds me. Some other times, I will run onto the top of the bed... sometimes I climb at the bed's headboard and when she catches me... my mouth is already ready for another spoon, that is if I already swallowed my food. But everytime I realized that Daddy and Mommy were already here... it even gets tougher. I will run outside and will no longer eat wanting to play with them already. And I noticed that it is with this eating that Mommy was so frustrated at me. She wanted that I eat by myself while seating on my nice chair and as an added bonus I can eat while I'm watching my favorite show. Well I'm doing this sometimes when we were out on the mall. I was just seating on the high chair. My spoon on my right hand, I will eat until I'm full. Mom still cuts the fish though but at least I eat on my own. I know how to eat, its just that, it seems like a real fun running away from mommy or yaya while they are holding the spoon and running after me, chasing me and catching me before the food finally reaches my mouth. What a spoiled brat!

Btw, I have an "accidental leak" today at the grocery and I ended up wearing my pull-ups diapers while I am in my polo and denim jacket. The people there were all smiling seeing me in my "attire".

Happy Birthday CJ!

2008-06-20T18:39:00.001+08:00

My classmate CJ celebrated his birthday @ our "schoo". Mom bought me a gift for him based from his theme "Cars". I so loved to party and I was pretty excited to blow his cake.... errr, to watch him blow his cake I mean. Mom placed my camera inside my bag so I can take pictures but my teachers in Milestone preferred that they took the pictures so that I'am there as well. I was very happy with my lootbag! Ummm, I'm now thinking what my theme will be on July 25th.

Here's some of our pictures:

Hi CJ, Happy Birthday!

School Matters: Week 1

2008-06-19T09:39:00.001+08:00

Lesson for the week is about shapes: circle, square and triangle. We have lots of activities and I already know the shapes although I have a hard time saying triangle.... I always end up saying... "gel". For our artwork... I have brought this one home, a "sirkoh!". Teacher Kat says, I have a great time in school.

This is the picture of "sirkoh" I took myself:

It is a "sirkoh" with sponged "sirkoh" I have done myself.

I'm a Pre-schooler!

2008-06-16T15:02:00.003+08:00

It was really not planned that I will go to school before I even turned 3, but for some luck, Mom chanced upon a website and was impressed by this school. Since I'm lacking playmates of my age (excuse me yaya, atchi and mama) and I haven't been "communicating orally" clearly and I'm bored being at the house the whole day and I need to be socially active and I need to interact with other people except my family and Mommy thinks it will greatly help me when I go to big school and Daddy agreed.... I'm going to Milestone!

What really caught daddy and mommy was the fact that when we first visited the school, I went with my soon to be Teacher Kat to the blue room where she will assess me without any hesitation at all! Given that I really am shy and don't usually go with a stranger.

And without further adieu, here I am on my first day of school....

Mommy and daddy accompanied me to my very first day and while mom, preferred to stay behind to give way to my dad - he and me attended my first class. (to photograph me of course!).

I think I'm very much liking this new adventure.

Mader Goose Birthday

2008-05-05T12:15:00.007+08:00

We went to Batangas last Saturday after attending my playclass in gymboree and strolling in Megamall with Dad. With us are Ninang Sistah and Tita Angie who went to Manila from Batangas to go shopping. Mom met us in Megamall as she had to do an overtime in her office.

On Sunday, we attended Mommy's Tito Dindo and Ate Jasmin's church wedding. It was raining all day but I had a chance to be a photographer for the event. I went to the altar to take their pix together with their photographer. Totally cool! Some of my photos:

The newly wed with tataylolo & mommylola

My Tita Tet

My tito Tebobs & his Girlfriend

and this is me.... "The little photographer":

And then.... its "A"s (short for grandma) 60th birthday! We were up early to get the birthday cake and to go to Mc Donalds since I haven't been eating since Saturday. It was fun playing and eating is a total waste of time.... and so I thought. Dad and Mom and me almost melt under the sun! Its too hot and the traffic is worst! Our supposed-to-be 15min travel to Bauan became 45mins! huh, that's 3x! And so I was able to eat 3/4 of mc do spaghetti + the fries + the iced tead and got to enjoy my new toy from kiddie meal.

The celebration was well attended by so many relatives, teachers and friends. I can say that "A" was so happy. Although mom was not a "pro" but she opted to be videographer while dad was the professional photographer. And me... I'm the total entertainer.

We went home at exactly 3pm (mom will be in trouble if we didnt make it in time). And strolled in the megamall so we can drink Wendy's Iced Tea. Huh, I've never been this thirsty before. I keep bugging mom for the juice since I woke up in Magallanes area.

Happy Birthday "A", we love you. I'm wishing you more years to come so you can get to play with me more. And thank you for taking good care of mom all through out the years.

Ninang Sistah is Home Again

2008-04-25T09:27:00.000+08:00

She arrived on my 39th month @ 3:20pm. Her plane landed @ 2:30 but her luggage was the last in line. It was fun seeing her again after a year. We went straight to duty free hoping we can see something worth buying. Unfortunately, we went out with no plastic bags. On our way looking for a resto, we saw the SM Bicutan and decided to drop by since I was never been there.

First stop of course - is what we came here for - children's section. Ninang Sistah promised to buy me a bag since I will be going to school in one week. I decided I like Spidey better than Mickey (too bad I can't have both... hehehe). Its like a backpack and a trolley at the same time and even has a water bottle at the side.

Ninang Sistah was really hungry so we decided to eat early dinner at Chicken Inasal. Oh boy, I never realized I was this hungry... I ate almost 3/4 cup of rice! I knew I needed a visit in the restroom after this.

At 7 pm, we're on our way to Batangas. We're kinda lost, well not really - we just end up on a bumpy service road rather than the smooth SLEX and finally at 10:00 we're major rock stars! Everybody is waiting for us. Not even the dogs were sleeping. One thing I realized, however, is that I'm more popular than my ninang Sistah because even she was amazed on how chinese I speak! (hehehe)

I really wasn't in the mood to sleep but mom forced me to sleep... because she already is too sleepy. Dad was also snoring so its best that I rest also for tomorrow's great day.

The next morning is all about play. Mom looked too depressed on how I reject to swallow any food she offers. Its just fun playing with Tita's Maureen, Lelen and Nene inside the big camping tent.

On sunday after mass, we went back to Manila.

Now I'm already counting 6 more days and I'll be back again for my Grandma's 60th birthday celebration!

Disney on Ice

2008-01-26T14:26:00.000+08:00

Adventure you dont want to forget - and that's what it is, an unforgettable adventure in Araneta Coliseum when Mickey Mouse, Minnie Mouse, Donald Duck, Daisy Duck and Goofy were on ICE!

The show was awesome! As in totally amazing (considering also that its the first time - for all of us!). Duncan's applause was suddenly new... his arms was now raised up above in the air. He was so excited... he won't eat - neither took a break to drink his milk. Adventure of "aws" (as in Mickey Mouse and Friends) includes the Lion King: superb skaters - Duncan's eyes were not even blinking... (umm how bout learning to ice skate when you grow older) 101 Dalmatians : (the "haf-hafs", as Duncan calls them) , Little Mermaid: the fish!, Peter Pan: "fly", and Lilo and Stitch: "titch"!

It was indeed a good 2-hour show.

We strolled around Gateway (where Duncan's first mall experience happened) and later went to visit Duncan's pedia.

Flashback to the day before: Duncan was not able to take his bath because he has colds and slight fever which officially becomes a fever that night.

Flashback to the morning that day: Duncan is all right! No fever!

Going back to the pedia - he was given his meds for the cough and we will observe him if ever he will have fever again.

What a Saturday!

Duncan's last day @ Gymboree

2008-01-08T18:50:00.000+08:00

It was a nice play class for Duncan. The topic was about a fireman and they were only 3 in the class. He was the only one listening to the story - and when he found out his classmates where doing something else, he will stand-up and call them up. He was very participative all thru out the class although he still can't jump, he can crawl down on a big log sloping at 30 degrees, go down on a ladder correctly, climb like spidey and sing (with actions) the wheels of the truck and follow his teacher's instructions all thru-out the 1 hour class. We are so very proud of you Duncan. Let's just wait until they open a schedule during weekends - and you'll be meeting Gymbo again!

Welcome Year 2008!

2008-01-03T13:55:00.000+08:00

Its been a looong time since the last blog and tons of exciting adventures have happened.

Adventure 1. Duncan and his gymboree play classes. Dad and Mom enrolled him for a 12 week play class in Gymboree Shangri-la Plaza in Mandaluyong (1 session per week). Last session will be this coming January 8th. From Level 5 (saturday class) he moved to Level 6 (tuesday class) . Mom had to be on leave every tuesday mornings to be with the makulit monkey / train / duck - depending on what he will be based on the theme of the week. He was so attentive! Listening to the storytelling (he was laying down on his tummy on the floor with his hands on his chin) , following teacher's instructions and joining the group. He had a hard time jumping from a high distance though. He was very cautious! Instead of free jumping, he will hold on to someone or something before jumping. (Could it be due to the high jump he made when he escaped his crib when he was still a baby. hehehe. As in, he made his way up, out of the wooden crib then down to the wooden floor). He has full of energy! After the class, he will stay and play. Hanging like a monkey, climbing on everything his feet can reach, playing balls, horsing around, jumping, running and just having fun. We attended art class too, but we feel he was not ready yet. He was super uncomfortable having a dirt on. He will say "ash" (meaning = wash) whenever he saw some tint of color on his hands. Hayyyy! Music class was also ok. He enjoyed the instruments but he best enjoyed Gymbo (which he calls "bobo") over the play class. He knows every song... "welcome, welcome everyone... now were here let's have some fun. First we clap our hands just so... (clapping his hands now) then we reach (already touching his toes) and touch our toes..." His favorite part when he was still in level 5 was the part where his dad will carry him and raise him up, up above!

Adventure 2. Duncan @ Little Gym. They have a trial class which we took. At first Duncan was like a little monkey holding on to Mommy's legs and 10 mins later - he was already by himself, chasing his smaller "beasties" classmates. They are more on gymnastics. Duncan enjoyed their class, too. (as an added bonus, they gave us Freebie/Souvenier from "Ella, the Enchanted Movie"!)

Adventure 3. Duncan in Batangas (Bonifacio Day). Finally, we did have a chance to visit Batangas again even if the Rancho Bridge in Cuenca was not passable to vehicles. We rode on the bus and had a flat tire in Lipa City. Luckily- there was a jeepney waiting for us - they told us that the bridge was still passable to commuters. Duncan had a great time walking / crossing the bridge cutting our trip to at least by an hour. As usual, they were all happy to see the little darling. We went home the very next day... but it was fun seeing tataylolo and mommylola again.

Adventure 4. Duncan @ Trish's birthday party. Trisha Andrea Moriah Pachica's first birthday party was held at Classica Tower in Makati. It was supposed to be a custome party but Duncan dont want any custome at all. We all went there fully dressed-up just to attend a party by the pool! Duncan enjoyed the water, his feet submerged by the pool. The birthday girl slept even before she blow her birthday cake. At the end... Duncan has only his t-shirt and his diapers on! - what a costume.

News 101 : More words for Duncan. He knows how to count... one , to , tee, fo, ayv, six, ven, eight, nine , te.... tennnnnnnn! He also knows how to say the alphabet (kinda) . His "dog" was still "haf haf" . He knows his name, too - "Da" (still working for the can). He can clearly say the words as "kiss , cookie, eat, cook and many more" (mostly 1 syllable words).

News 102: Potty trained. For almost a month now, he no longer wears diaper during the day. He will run to whoever is in the room and say "wishh, wishhhh" his words for the weewee and "oo-oo" for the poop with his hands on his butt. He just needs assistance in the restroom but he can already pull-out his undies. Even with his diapers on, he will remove it and will still go to the restroom when he feels like it. When finished he will say "f-nish"! - That's our Duncan!

News 103: Duncan is already 15.5 kgs - from his 14.0 kgs two months ago.

Way to go Duncan!

Merry Christmas & Happy New Year!

2008-01-01T19:06:00.000+08:00

Christmas for Duncan means going to reunions, seeing and playing with cousins and gifts + more gifts! It was nice seeing cousin River again and his new brother Rain. Then there was Echo (although they arrived later and thus never had a chance to play). It was also nice meeting Ninang Doodoo's "haf-haf" (= dog). Unlike the previous years, this year's Noche Buena was celebrated at Ninang Doodoo's place since Lolo Buting and Lola Lulu was outside the country.

Then we were at Lolo Doc's Residence in Marikina. Unlike the previous years when Duncan was allowing to take his special pose on his special sofa...., this time - he won't. He will run anywhere but seat steadily. So much for the traditional pose... (Mommy's sigh here!). It was fun seeing my new nephew, Izeck (yes, I'm already an uncle!)

And then... we went to Batangas last Dec 28 and the trip was kinda hard considering that the rancho bridge (in Cuenca) was still not repaired - BUT we made it after 3 long hours of driving. Thank you Daddy for being patient and a good driver. And thank you Duncan for being such a good passenger.

Activities:

Dec 28 - arrived @ 10:30 am. Had some breakfast and there were Duncan's tita's (playmates) to cheer Duncan even more. He had a hard time taking a break from all the playing, the running and the entertainment around (from the cats to dogs to roosters to the makukulit lolas)

Dec 29 - more playing for Duncan, more sleep for daddy, more "tsika" for mommy!

Dec 30 - it was Tataylolo's birthday. We prepared early for our trip to Shrine of Our Lady of Carmel Church to attend the mass. Daddy, Mommy, Duncan with Tataylolo, Mommylola and Tita Angie went together (tito Tebobs was the "taong-bahay"). The Church was beautiful and Duncan lighted a candle and made several poses for picture taking while Daddy had a fun time using his new EOS Camera. We went straight to Robinson's place Lipa for lunch - but Duncan was not in an eating mode. He already wanted to play! We took out his lunch which he later ate while watching the rides. He has fun riding the "helicopter" and "train" in Timezone and later in their BIG Carousel 2000. He rode on an animal ride with Tataylolo and we had a hard time convincing him to put on his shoes again (after he took it off to clim to a treehouse inside the mall. And then the nature had their share of the day. The rain fell while we have only 1 umbrella on hand and we have to commute and walk on the broken bridge. He was sleeping all the way home while we were all wet! Tito Tebos girlfriend was there with the pizza and Ninang Jo went for a visit, too.

Dec 31 - Preparation for the New Year.

January 1 eve. Duncan was sleeping! He looked funny trying to stay awake. And it was very cold and windy! We had our "lusis" and ... nothing else (hehe). Come home to Manila @ 7:30 and arrived @ 9:30! yes whooping 2 hours! We attended the mass to thank God for the wonderful year we had.

Updates

2007-11-06T18:58:00.000+08:00

From A-aw (dog) .... it becomes arf-arf!

Duncan knows how to poop in his poopoo chair.
He will run to his poopoo chair when he feels like it.... then place it in front of the tv... and while he's at it... he will watch his sesame street dvd... with both the ceiling fan and the stand fan on him.... how cozy!

From Elmo ... to Cookie Monster!
Yes... Cookie is his favorite at this time.

From being makulit .... to Super Kulit!

Sesame Street Mall Tour

2007-11-03T12:42:00.000+08:00

No work for dad & mom starting November 1 to 4. This should have been a good time to go to Batangas again but unfortunately daddy was sick. We have to stay @ home during the first two days. We even weren't able to visit Papa Totong in Loyola...tsk..tsk.... BUT on the other hand, its a good thing that daddy got sick when it was not working day at least mom gets to look after him (although it seems like dad much like to take care of himself - while mom take care of the makulit Duncan)....AND there was a sesame st mall tour.

Actually it was Daddy who saw the ad in the newspaper last Oct 28th - so we have to rush to Trinoma to have a glimpse of Duncan's pals - but since we arrive late, there was no more nametags, no more hotcakes and no more playing time. It was so not organized! There were even no seats for other people. Luckily, mom got a seat in-front so Duncan can watch their puppet show, magic show, bubble show and of course, the dancing Elmo, Cookie Monster, Ernie & Bert. There were also some personalities like Julius Babao and his baby, as well as Matet de Leon and her baby and the going bulilit gang... but they were just among us.... audience who wants to have a photo op with Duncan's favorites but hmpppp, boy, were the people just so loved them - - - it was so hard to take a decent pic.

Duncan & Elmo

Next pitstop was market!market! so off we go. This time, Duncan had his wrist and name tags and pancakes (which btw, was decorated by dad and mom, who also enjoyed the eating afterwards).

We also got our seats. Duncan enjoyed every minute of it and standing on his seat, he sang some songs and imitated what's on the stage. Know the song "Head and shoulder, knees and toes. Eyes and ears and mouth and nose"?

"nose"

Finally, a photo op for both dad and mom with Duncan. Although still not organized it was a lot better than in the previous mall.

But that was just the beginning, the BEST part was.... the afterdark. Its a reunion of Duncan and Market!Market!'s play place. Once we set our feet on the area, Duncan removed his crocs and off he went. He was so active. Ran here and there, climbed up and down, sliding, gliding, beaming that he's up high. Mom's heart almost lost a beat when he went inside the tunnel and wont come out! Kids were already piling outside as they can't go through the big blockage that was Duncan. What did mom do?... she went inside the kiddie tunnel hoping that it wont fell apart. It's mother's instinct kicking in - who's to blame? Duncan's so energetic - he's sweating like he just went out from the shower and didn't dry off. It's his dad guiding him all through out - mom doesn't have the courage to not be so overprotective. He's already a big boy up there.... together with the big kids.

It was really fun and you can just imagine how we have to literally pull Duncan away so his dad can rest.

Little Angel

2007-10-11T17:45:00.000+08:00

Its been a while since the last post. Daddy and mommy had been busy working the past 2 weeks, basically 12 to 13 hours a day and most of the time gone home dog-tired. Good thing, there is someone very special to come home to and vanishes the weariness away - yeah , you guessed it right...once you saw those smile ... ahh...its like magic... your strength was restored!

It is so amazing how his laugh is like a medicine - soothing every muscle pain in your body. His touch , so gentle , you crave for more. His kiss... its like winning a lottery a million times!

Bad Morning...

2007-09-24T18:19:00.001+08:00

The "papaya" prince got up early again. This time he was the first in line going to daddy's car.... then... there he was on the ground! He tripped and got his lips bruised! tsk...tsk...! - probably he's a bit sleepy pa. Poor baby. Don't worry, tomorrow's gonna be a sunny day for you as you turn 26th month!

The "Papaya" Prince

2007-09-24T17:47:00.000+08:00

After few months of no cable connection, the "papaya" dance was actually a "?" to mommy and daddy but lo and behold... it was Duncan's favorite these days. Duncan and his yaya would sing the "Papaya" song and dance to the beat. He looked so funny and so "bibo" dancing along with the rhythm and mind you, he's on the right timing... finally a dancer in the family! hehe.

It was mooncake festival in mommy & daddy's company last Saturday, September 22 and together with the "papaya" prince they rolled the dice to win lots of "hopia". Lots of kids were there, too - tugging along with their moms and dads. Steph, (tita Yvette's niece) was there as well. They plus Tito Lace & Tito Mark (mommy's officemates) were so entertained to watch Duncan's "papaya" moves (music c/o Tito Lace cellphone). Mommy was so proud!

@ Mommy's office

Duncan & Jollibee

September 23 was Ninong Ian's Birthday. Ninong Rain and Tita Kaye were also there to celebrate. We had chicken, sisig, squid, nilaga and my favorite spaghetti plus cake! Duncan also signed on Ninong Ian's birthday card.

Happy Birthday, Ninong! Teach me to play guitar , organ and all others when I grow up.... love Duncan.

Taho boy

2007-09-20T12:53:00.000+08:00

@ 7:30am the little prince was already awake. He drank his milk, afterwhich got his wallet (with 1 peso inside), put on the crocs and went outside with mommy. At the gate he shouted "ho!" ... apparently, he just wants to buy taho. (too bad there is still no taho this early tsk.. tsk)

Scenario @ 9:30pm

Lights out.
Daddy coughing.
Duncan lying in bed surrounded by pillows.
Mommy getting the Vicks VapoRub.

Mommy on Daddy: "labs, I will put you vicks on the bottom of your feet then cover it with socks. I heard it from someone and somewhat worked to stop coughing... let's try it on you."

After the procedure, mommy readies herself to sleep, then suddenly...

those little feet were in her place, the little darling wants the same thing.

Final Scenario

Father & Son sleeping soundly with their socks on and smelled so Vicks!

What do you want to be when you grow up?

2007-09-20T12:42:00.000+08:00

Pianist

Spiderman?

Ahhhh, unending possibilies.....

Haircut

2007-09-16T13:24:00.000+08:00

Father & Son had their hair cut from their favorite "barbero/a" in Mandaluyong. It was Duncan's 3rd time with Ms. Barbero (5th hair cut since 1 yo; 1st & 2nd time was in Kids's Hair Salon @ Rustan's Makati - 5x the charge!). Compared with his first 2 experiences, Duncan was more cooperative this time. He even agreed to put on the "balabal" and to seat steady. While both daddy and mommy were holding him previously (to hold his hands), this time mommy managed to support him while daddy played for him his toys (to distract him). The two boys have the same haircut, obviously because they have the same hairline. (hehe). Thanks also to Zach, the owner's grandson (we assume), who always plays with him and shares his toys so Duncan won't get bored. While waiting for his turn Duncan "talked" to one of the customer explaning that he will have his hair cut (by holding his hair and pointing to his dad) and entertained her while he imitated Zach's dancing toy robot. Duncan looked like a boy now. Few more months and he will be on his own having his hair cut (exagg!)

Duncan in his new haircut

What happened to the check-up?

2007-09-10T12:42:00.000+08:00

Nothing. We ended-up taking home the empty containers for poop and urine which were never been filled... because with all of God's grace, on the day of his check-up he's completely ok!

That morning, we went to one of our Ninang's building in Makati. Duncan received his post birthday gift and was just overjoyed to receive his first sesame street lunch box complete with tumbler plus sesame street pencil case with sesame street mechanical pencils , paste and sharpener. Have lunch in our favorite World Chicken (Glorietta Food Court), strolled a little and off we go to St. Lukes.

We were supposed to give his pedia results from his poop & urine test but after an hour of waiting for the specimen Duncan can't produce we went for the check-up anyway. The pedia says probably its just viral. We just have to monitor his temp and continue with his vitamins.

That night, we were all peacefully asleep till morning.

Thanks God!

Duncan's Fever

2007-09-07T14:18:00.000+08:00

Hay! Duncan's on & off fever has been driving us nuts! Its been 2 nights already that he's having fever until 5:00 am only. Come morning.... its gone! His diet is ok.... except for the 2 days before yesterday that I have to run to Yoshinoya for his all-day meal. Now he's enjoying mamon and ensaimada from Red Ribbon.

Tomorrow, we'll gonna see his pedia again. Hope everything's well.

This baby just loves shoes. side kwento again, whenever he goes out and meet other kids he will have to touch his shoes as if to say....

He has cassette tapes of Beethoven, Strauss, Mozart & Tchaikovsky. This he plays once the car starts)

Favorite Activities (other than "creating his arts"): Pulling his dettached crib hidden in between the bed's headboard and the wall, and with assistance, lay each part (a total of 4 parts) on the floor (note: should be arranged according to his will), and finally stepping on top of it!, playing with the issued laptop of his daddy (ok to accept minor repairs such as the removal of screw, screwdriver taken from his daddy & harassment on the touchpad), taking part on the activity of his daddy (from the repair of the ups to computers to everything!), running in circle, turning around until he falls on the floor (huh!), removing (not gently) all his toys on the first rack and with his pillow lay there, pushing everything out of order and most of all, playing with all of his toys at the same time causing major mess!(sigh), and .... helping out when asked (smile!).

Pissss!

2007-09-04T12:28:00.000+08:00

We have long been waiting for Duncan to talk... or to at least understand what he is saying. We are kind'a worried what's keeping him from speaking the actual "words". Most of the time he is speaking in some sort of foreign language that cannot be found in any dictionary.

He can clearly say some words though :

dadi, yaya, cookie, spider, spider away, ball, loon (short of balloon), ayoto (ayoko), di (hindi), py (short of puppy), true (when singing rubber duckie), blue, bow (short of rainbow), juice , shoes, up (when going up), car, bye, chi (atchi - the other yaya), ap-pol (apple), be (bear), luya (alleluya, song in the church & in shrek 2), yah (yes!), bobo (from gymboree and his name for the mascot in Max's), baby, pooh and some others that he can say when he is mad (not bad words of course!)

What's sad is he still cannot say mommy (huhuhu), save the best for last!

Few nights ago, Duncan wanted to go out of the room but since its so hot outside (our AC is already on) I told him no. And out from nowhere did he say.... "piss, piss, pisssss...." along with the tagging of my hand and pushing me back to the door to open it for him. Hahaha... at least he knows how to say please (i think so). And then again last night, Duncan got his Daddy's cellphone. But of course, since its still brand new - the little angel cannot play with it yet. We both laugh when with matching facial expression, he said "pissss, pissssss!" . hahaha... better luck next time kiddo...! But of course we did give him not just one but two of the old cellphones. He took it with both hand and while walking away both cellphone in either ear, he "talked" to the person on the other line. Whether they understood each other is but a diiferent story.

The ugliest shoes!

2007-09-02T12:56:00.000+08:00

Our Duncan chose this... over many colors!

He's size 8-9! So big are his feet! Goodluck to you crocs... may you still be with us until Duncan's third year.

Weekend in Batangas

2007-08-25T12:49:00.000+08:00

Its Duncan's 25th month birthday. Imagine the excitement of tataylolo and mommylola when they learned that their only grandson is to spend the weekend in Batangas. As usual Daddy did the driving and though we experienced traffic we arrived safe in 2 1/2 hours. Duncan was also excited to see his new friend "py" (short of puppy) and the rest of the 5 cats. Not to mention the hen with its newly hatched chicks as well as the rooster and of course the lolo & lolas, and little aunties who are all there to play with the star of the day - Duncan.

He didn't sleep the whole day and played and charmed everyone with his "chinese" speaking skills- hehe. He had the whole fun of entertaining everyone while showing how to play his toys.

We went home sunday after lunch. Passed by Robinson's Place Lipa so Duncan can continue having the time of his life riding the huge carousel and rides in Time Zone. Thanks tataylo for my new volleyball and to my mommylola for the superb meals. Sure will gonna miss you all.

Till next time!

Happy 2nd Birthday Duncan

2007-07-25T18:31:00.000+08:00

Can't believe the little baby is now a toddler - a very "makulit" toddler that is. We went to celebrate Duncan's birthday @ Market! Market! And how did we celebrate?

Duncan @ 2

- Go to a studio for a photo session (2 year old souvenier pix).

- Ate lunch @ Bacolod Chicken

Duncan's favorites are La Paz Bachoy & of course their pecho! Together with their small bowls and saucers (which he plays while eating), Duncan can eat almost a cup of rice.

- Take the cool rides @ Timezone

Busy bee

Happy worm

- watched Ratatouille (Rat-a-too-ee), duncan's third movie already!

- played at their play area

- and it would't be complete if he will not play outside on his favorite playplace where he ran on barefeet!

Sesame St. Live in Manila!

2007-07-22T12:56:00.000+08:00

We (Duncan specially), have been waiting for this day when we can see our favorite Sesame St. Pals live here in Aliw Theater, CCP Complex, Manila. (Thank you, Mama for the tickets!). Show will start @ 11:00. Original plan is to go there early (but as usual we left a little late). Good thing it started @ 11:30 just enough for us to relax first after the tension we experienced along the way (First, Roxas Blvd. had been closed to traffic for the Milo Marathon. Second, we were not familiar with the streets in Manila. Third, its suuuuuuper traffic. Fourth, we went to the wrong entrance and finally, the road to the Aliw Theater was also closed (good thing we were allowed to enter anyway!)

Duncan excited to see his sesame st. pals

The show was very good. It was short (close to 2 hours) but we enjoyed it very much. Duncan wouldn't even blink an eye during the show and he looked so happy seeing them dance. We have a good seat also. Row 6 Center Aisle.

Serious audience & The Casts of Sesame St.

Dancing...

Picture after the show

Till next time!

My 2nd Birthday Party @ Tom's World

2007-07-21T14:44:00.000+08:00

My 2nd birthday party was a blast! It was well attended. Tataylolo & Mommyla was there with my Granny and relatives from Batangas, my Marcos family were there (except my Lola Sylvia and Ninang Doodoo) my Pasion relatives were there (even my lola choleng), my daddy and mommy's friends and officemates were there, my ninongs and ninangs were there (except for some who are oh so far away). I enjoyed myself although Mommy's expecting more from it. (the bubble show was cancelled due to some glitch and the mc donalds crew were very far from being good). I never knew I have a bestfriend Borgy and girlfriend Angel until this time. hehehe. After the party, all my newly kiddie friends enjoyed their free all you can rides.

2 days to go before the party!

2007-07-19T13:02:00.000+08:00

Duncan is all excited now. 2 more nights and its party @ Tom's World!

Congratulations Tito Steph & Tita Jackie!

2007-07-08T12:50:00.000+08:00

Duncan attended Tito Steph's & Tita Jackie's wedding with daddy, mommy & mama. He wore the white long sleeves and the slacks he wore from Ninong Rainier's wedding and he looked like Michael Jackson... (laugh out loud) ... with his pants now shorter and his white socks showing!Marcos' family was all there and Duncan had a chance to play with his cousins River and Ecko - the batchmates. The wedding is just wonderful. Right combination of laughter and solemnity. Unfortunately, little Duncan didn't eat at all. He was just having fun getting fruits from the fruit punch table. Congratulations again to both of you!

Great Weekend

2007-06-12T18:37:00.000+08:00

Saturday, June 9

Duncan attended his free class at Gymboree, Shangri-La Plaza. Their theme for the day is about bears. The little boy, as expected for the first timers, didn't participate so well but at least he played and got to experience a different set-up. He join the group of "adults" rather than join his age group - because Mommy is there! After the class, we ate at Tokyo Tokyo and enjoyed the water fountain at the center of the mall then off we go to Megamall where he enjoyed the all-time favorite kiddie carousel.

Duncan enjoying himself at the Shangri-La Plaza Fountain

The little prince slept on our way to Ortigas Depot and awoke just when I needed my shoulder to rest at SM hypermart in Pasig. He did some running again until its time to go.

Later that afternoon, we have a complementary buffet at Astoria Plaza (scam!). The food is ok... Duncan enjoyed the fish fillet and their "kaldereta". After eating, here goes the selling part. haha... its funny as the account officer in-charge was forced to cut the orientation short as Duncan goes running around the place, I need to go to the restroom and hubs needs to look after the non-stop kiddo. Well, thanks for the free dinner!

Sunday, June 10

Went to Church. In the church, Duncan started to speak "chinese" again talking to the people at the back seat. They were asking me what he is saying - and i'm left saying that he is chinese... hehe. We then went to the grocery (puregold-mandaluyong) then to V-mall (greenhills) so the little angel can play as well. We went home just in time for dinner. Huh - that's life!

Monday, June 11

Enjoyed time at home. Playing pack-and-go. By this game, it meant I clean up while Duncan turns the room up-side-down. By 1pm, his finally asleep! After 2 hours, we went to Loyola Memorial Park to visit Duncan's Papa Totong (FIL) to greet him happy Birthday. And that's when it started to rain! It stopped for five minutes - probably so Duncan can get down from the car. Since its raining - where else can we go... of course to Jo-jo-jollibee! Jollibee happens to be around so the little Duncan is so oh excited! Ahhh - and tomorrow will be another working day... away from my oh so "kulit" toddler.

Happy Birthday Daddy!

2007-06-05T11:57:00.000+08:00

Thank you for spending your every free hour with me.

- Lifting me up in every fall...

- Washing my fears away...

- Teaching me new things....

- Taking me to places i've never been...

- You are my best buddy ever!

Duncan and Mommy loves you very much!

Independence

2007-06-03T14:51:00.000+08:00

Today, our little Duncan is no longer a baby! He proved himself as a certified toddler when he rode a baby caterpillar on the Timezone area of Market!Market! all on his own. Its quite an experience for all of us. Its his first time to be just himself and its our first to let him go. Its a mixed feeling of excitement, anxiety, and of being proud. All my worries disappeared when I saw him oh so relaxed and so happy. At first, he holds steadily to the hand railing and when he adjusted to it he let go of the bar and waved at us!

There's a lesson that I've learned - day after day, as your child grows you simply have to be accept that while you have enjoyed yourself cuddling the little one, keeping him attached to you, taking control so he wont get hurt, watching every step so he won't fall - you should try to lossen your grip so he can experience things that real life brings.

Its amazing really... how he's grown so fast!

Summer Time

2007-05-06T18:58:00.000+08:00

Happy Birthday Mommyla!

2007-05-05T12:52:00.000+08:00

Its Mommyla's 59th birthday! We went to Max's Lipa and strolled in SM Lipa to celebrate!

Daddy, Mommy, Duncan, Mommyla & Ninang Sistah @ Max's

What are you doing here Papa Piolo?

Happy Birthday Mommyla from Cookie Monster, Duncan & Elmo! We love you!

Labor Day!

2007-05-02T19:05:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was Labor Day... seriously...for Daddy and Mommy! For a start, we woke up @ 7:30am to eat breakfast after an hour or so. Duncan on the other hand is always on diet everytime daddy & mommy is around. We dont know why but he keeps on pushing every food away if we were around. Yaya, on the other hand can make him eat 5 times a day during weekdays! Ok then... Duncan took his bath with Daddy and Mommy of course and then.... when he is ready to go... obviously Mommy hasn't taken her bath yet. He is that eager to "go" that he even get our slippers and "pushed" it for us to wear. We did manage to be on our way eventually. Once we got to V-mall.... hahayyy.. D's excitement began... Labor Day that is. He ran everywhere as usual and when its time to eat.... Duncan just can't afford the time to slow things down... even for the sake of Yoshinoya and Jollibee Chicken Joy.

We went home @ 2pm. Mommy somehow managed to pushed the 7 spoonfuls of rice and chicken (Allelua!) after all the known entertainment in the world. He didn't sleep the entire day. At 6 pm.. things started to slow down a bit... he's sleepy! Hurray....! Mommy and Daddy has finally come to rest.

Pediasure Nutri 911

2007-04-29T14:15:00.000+08:00

Its PediaSure Day in Shangri-la Plaza and we went there to see if our little Prince will give up his Nan HA2 formula. Registration is free.

With no milk and food consumption, Duncan's results :

Weight (kg) : 13.5
and Height (cm) : 86.36 (2'10")
Nutritional Status: Normal Weight (ideal, 9.5-14.6kg)
Normal Height (ideal, 78.7 - 91.6cm)

Duncan enjoyed playing with their play place specifically the "hammer" . Actually it is just a code... mommy didn't know what it's called. All she knows is that Duncan liked to borrow the hammer and slammed it to a specific portion of the base where a light will lit once the indicator of the impact moved... or something to that effect... huh!

He also tried coloring with their provided page and color pencil. There were also slides. Entertainment followed. Guest star CJ is there as well as Christine Jacobs with Regine Tolentino as host.

Afterwhich we attended the mass.... Duncan in the stroller the whole time... Sleeping! (at least mommy not only got to attend the mass but also managed to hear it).

Now the question of the day is... Did Duncan liked the PediaSure?... We're sure he didn't liked it. He feels like vomitting the very little drop mommy managed to push unto his little sensitive mouth.

Broken Fan

2007-04-26T13:47:00.000+08:00

Today (in the midst of a hot summer!) ... the blade of our 2nd working electric fan (the 1st has unfortunately damaged lock) was broken . Our little prince went to "ride" on it them boom.. before you know it... its already down to the floor. Its not his fault... the fan was just.... ummm a disturbance perhaps while he is playing. And that it is not as "tough" as my little boy.

Thank God for nothing happened to him.

21st month

2007-04-26T13:00:00.000+08:00

Daddy and Mommy went on leave to celebrate Duncan's 21st month.....at Robinson's Galleria from 12am - 7pm (nagpapalamig for a very hot summer). He went to ride on his favorite carousel, on a motorized animal and spent all day playing....and playing....and playing. After 2 hours of sleep... there he goes to run and play all over again.

Things he can say...

- Totototototo for the nth time
Interpretation: when he's doing something...don't try to interrupt.

- Apow
Interpretation: he likes apple

- Yaw
Interpretation: He doesn't like

- Ya
Interpretation: Yes!

- A-ow
Interpretation: Dog

others.... are just hard to remember nor interpret for that matter.

Things he can do ....

- Run in circles
- Play on his own without being bored (non-stop if playing with someone)
- Operate on the DVD
- Stack-up (of food containers taken unnoticed from the cabinet)
- Disorganizing/ messing all of his toys for a millisecond

He is fond of:

- Horsing around... (avoid trying to lay down on the floor unless you dont want to be a horse)
- Screwing around... (avoid trying to repair with a screw driver when he is around)
- Cleaning around... (hide the broom ... quick!)
- Kissing around... (your face. he will be touching the part he want to kiss before kissing... favorites : forehead, cheeks and for mommy and daddy.... lips!)
- Climbing around... (keep your heart beating and move fast before he falls)
- Looking around... (hide your valuables if you want to keep them for long)

But even so...
baby D is more lovable than ever!

The wheels on the bus to Batangas

2007-04-15T11:11:00.000+08:00

When the car was still not on a good mood to run... off we went to the bus terminal to proceed to our trip to Batangas. Good thing the little Duncan slept on the way. And finally the bonding moment between the Godson and the Godmom!

Duncan was so happy. We went home the same day - yet the trip home is another story.

Joshua's Birthday

2007-04-14T16:57:00.000+08:00

We attended Joshua's Birthday @ Jollibee, Macapagal. (Near MOA). It was fun seeing Jollibee again!

Here I am reunited with my favorite Mascot in the whole wide world! There in a superman attire is my friend Joshua (Tita kaye's nephew)

Right after the party, we started our way going to Batangas to see Ninang Sistah (and to get my pasalubong)...but unfortunately, we were hit by "kamalasan". The car was overheat and so we have to stay at the nearest Honda Service Center to cool it down. The good thing was, they were very kind allowing us to get H2O when they were already closed. And so we're off again, but yay! were overheat and were not even close to bicutan exit! Good thing again was a taxi driver stopped and offered to tow the car to the exit and deliver us to the nearest gasoline station. After few more stops and help along the way - we're safe home! (to San Juan that is, obviously we can no longer travel all the way to Batangas).

Ninang Sistah

Today, April 11, Ninang Sistah came back home from her 2 years stay in Abu Dhabi. Mommy and Daddy with little cherub went to the airport to see her. It is also the day that the little excited Duncan got injured from the rocking chair. Good thing it was not his eye that was scratched but a little portion beside his eye.

Happy 1st Birthday , baby Seth!

Duncan did it!

2006-12-16T10:58:00.000+08:00

Wedding day!

Start of procession .... Mommy's really tensed as he tossed the pillow in the floor. He wanted to go to his tita Kaye (the bride) outside the door. He liked to run and go to daddy... then finally it's his turn to march. Mommy put him down the center of the aisle and.... he walked! My little Duncan was so cute walking alone down the aisle. With his little steps, in his black suit. His watchful eye meeting those whose watching him. He liked to smile and cry at the same time. He wanted to walk and ran just the same. But he did it.. all by himself.

Duncan was one tough kiddie.. he was wide awake all day!... well except in the church photo session. He was so sleepy... he looked really funny as his head was hanging by his sides. He wanted to be with his Ninong Rainier. He simply loved the flash of the camera. He danced at the songs. He's super friendly with the guests. That's our son. That's our Duncan.

Some of the pix.

Ring Bearer

We have been trying to practice the little ring bearer. First, Mama made him a pillow that a little Duncan can hold pretending it to be the ring pillow. Next, Yaya and Atchi as the audience and Mommy as the guide... and now here comes the little darling. But no, he would simply walk and toss the little pillow aside. He will pick it up simply to put it over his head... ah yes, he will put his face on it pretending to be nappy. And finally, he will hand to you back the poor pillow. And then, when you told him to walk straight.. he will be on his knees... crawling ! Waaaah, what a sight! I can't imagine what its like on the big day.

Goodluck!

Happy Dedication Seth!
