How pizza rules our life

Without me realizing it, pizza just like hamburgers have so much affected my way of living.  I secretly wanted to become a crew in pizza hut way way back.  But I never tried to apply because I think pizza hut crews are ideally taller than I am. 

Rey used to work for Greenwich, another fast food for pizza in the metro.  He used to work there when he was still in college. Even if he still likes to continue to work after he ended  his contract, his time did not permit him.  I guess engineering students needs more time to study especially when they are about to graduate.

By the way, we had our first date in Sabarro in Robinson's Ermita.  So that is another pizza parlor we tried.  And even now, we still love to dine at pizza parlors.

This one was when we were trying to pass time in Pizza Hut Robinson's Imus

Rey celebrated his 32nd birthday in Pizza Hut SM Masinag..whew...that's all the way from Cavite :)

I think I should get some pizza restaurant equipment that we can use at  home so we can make pizza too.  Its going to be pizza day at home if this will happen, its going to birthday celebration everyday.

Gab's Daily Routine

At age two and a half, Gab was able to develop a routine already. This is something that he does on a daily basis with me and his nanny when I am not around and on every other day with Rey.  Rey comes home from work every other day due to work load and the distance of his work place to our home.

Due to my work schedule, Gab is used to wake up ahead of me during weekdays.  He will go out of our room and look for his nanny while I'm asleep. If nanny is not doing the laundry, she will play with Gab in the living room until I wake up. But if nanny is doing the laundry, he will play with his toys or watch TV until I get up.

Funny but there is something with boxes kids love so much.

Gab is used to taking his bathe in the morning. This is after I am finish with my breakfast, lucky me if Gab will join me with my breakfast.  Sometimes he asks for a glass of milo and some bread (pandesal).

Rey bathes Gab on Sunday's when he is at home.

Gab knows that when its Sunday, its Rey's time to join him playing while taking his bath. When this happens, I am so tempted to get wholesale dental supplies because they will play with anything in the bathroom.  Toothpastes are not excused.  There was one time Gab spread toothpaste all over the bathroom and there was nothing I can do.  They made be believe mother have the longest patience to be challenged. 

Gab is also used to me leaving early in the afternoon during weekdays.  When I leave, he will voluntarily stop playing to take his afternoon nap. He will be excited to wait for Rey when he arrives in the evening because its going to be another endless playtime until they both get so sleepy.

The Addicted Gab

I wonder why kids are so good in techy stuff and gadgets and games, I can't do anything but to envy.

 You can guess who's playing the tablet just by looking at the hands right?  I can tell you, Gab knows how to find Angry Birds and turn it on. 

Now look at what he is doing on the laptop.  He is so into his game and laughing like he will never laugh again.

Almost everyday, when Rey comes home from work, Gab will inspect his bag to find the PSP or the tablet.  If he can't find it their, he will drag the medical step stool in front of the drawers and check it all one by one, just to find what he is looking for and be able to play his games.

There was one night when I woke up at 3am and caught him playing the tablet while we're asleep.  I did not think that he will find the tablet under my pillow and wake up just to play with it.  Good thing, he was just starting to play and I did have a hard time convincing him to go back to sleep.

Thank You, Pizza Hut, Robinson's Imus

 The Sunday Gab and Rey is waiting for happens today.  The slot machines at Tom's World of Fun are happy to see them holding their tokens and peso coins.  Of course the franchise owner is much more happier when kids are happy to go back to them regularly.

And while they are playing I went to the supermarket for a quick grab of what we are missing in the kitchen.  Then I waited for them at Pizza Hut.  The generous crew, whom I failed to note the name allowed me to sit on a table near an electric plug so I can plug my laptop when it runs out of battery.  I patiently waited for the student in nursing uniforms to vacate the table for me.

When Gab and Rey arrived, they attacked the pizza I have on the table and Gab played some computer games.

Again, another weekend enjoyed by the whole family together.

Savings and Party

Two more days to go and its Sunday again.   I was talking to Rey over the phone earlier and he mentioned that he and Gab will again go to Robinson's mall in Imus.  Remember what I told you previously regarding our Sunday Family Time Together, Rey is head over heels  for Tom's World Arcade.  I surely don't want my son to learn that all the coins and tokens he sees should go to the slot machines at the arcade.  I want to him to learn how to save at an early age.

A smart mom should know how to guide a misguided kid. I chance this opportunity when Gab choose this blue piggy bank over an angry bird toy in Puregold few days ago when we bought his milk.  So now, instead of thinking of dropping his coins to the slot machine, he is now dropping any and all the coins he sees at home into  his piggy bank.  We owe a birthday party for our kid on his third birthday, this is his first actually. I am happy to have  an invitationbox.com party invitations since I find it so cool.  Hope Gab is happy to spend some of his savings for the invites. 

Sunday Family Time at Toms World

Coming October will be my husband birthday. October 3 to be exact.  So yesterday, Rey requested that he will collect his birthday gift early from me.  Guess what he asked for? I don't want to blog about that just yet, I want to reserve it for another post.

Just after we got his birthday gift, Rey and Gab headed to Tom's World.  This is where they're newest bonding craze.  Gab loves to play basketball while Rey gets addicted to this machine where you need to insert 1 peso coin to get it to drop more peso coins.  In turn, every 1 peso coin dropped by the machine the player gets two tickets out of it. Its a silly game but it makes him excited to collect tickets which he plans to exchange gifts for Gab.

Due to our excite with the games, we lost one of Gab's spill proof drinking bottle that looks like this.  How I wish it gets returned to us but I don't think so. This is the second time we lost a spill proof drinking bottle for Gab. 

May be I should really have name plaques in all of Gab's things everytime we leave home. I feel really disappointed to myself because I don't like losing things, especially one for my kid.

Name plaques I found online are for office set up only.   I should make something complimentary to Gab's things.  I can see myself getting busy on this this coming weeks.

Late Sunday Night Play time

What is the best time for a 2 year old kid to go to sleep? I'd bet you'd say before 9o'clock in the evening. I wonder why Gab is still hyper and active past 9 in the evening. If you know what my job is, you'd also think its the culprit. See what he loves to do late in the evening...

Thank You Ninang Diane

This is one of Gab's book, The Lion First Bible.  I started buying him books after his first birthday when I observed him that he likes flipping pages and looking at pictures.  Thank you, Ninang Diane for this wondering edition of  children's bible.  This is one of those we found from gift baskets on sale.

Picture books are good to encourage kids to learn to like books, I hope will develop the hobby of reading which I failed to develop during my formative years.

 Here is Ninang Diane (Opps, that's how Filipinos address godmothers and Ninong for godfather.) on Gab's christening. Gab spent the whole event only sleeping.



Gab at Wendy's

One Sunday at Wendys SM Bacoor

It's not just Mc Donald's and Jollibee that Gab likes to go, it seems like he know that I used to work for Wendy's too.  Just like Rey, he can't resist the tempting Frosty.

See!



Here, I am already trying to convince him that we need to go.  Tita Alma and Tito Aris, thanks for tagging us on these photos on your facebook account.

Free Things are Really Expensive

Since I had my son, I've always wanted to stay home more than I can be allowed to.  I want to spend the whole day just playing with Gab, putting him to sleep or feeding him.  These are the free things in life that are really expensive to do.  Doing this will make me lose my job and eventually not being able to  buy him toys, some clothes and even play with for rent in the mall.

Well,  I can still go to work and I thank Thee because I don't need to wear working uniforms.  Even when I was in school, I've always prayed its a Saturday everyday so I get to wear my pair of jeans and shirt.  I know I cannot stay in a company that requires staff to have unifoms.  Oh yeah, there is one exemption, nursing uniforms are beautiful, I think I can wear them for a month and thats it. I really didn't want to be a nurse but I i've always wanted to have nursing scrub tops, I want those colorful ones. It would be fun to visit medical uniform store in one of my free time. I will try to grab one for Gab, Rey and I, then we can play pretend wearing our uniforms.  Sounds fun to me.  Im sure Gab will enjoy.

At least Rey and I can spend time together with GAb and enjoy with our baby.

Young at heart

Having kids make you feel young.  Yes, you've heard it right. I feel younger now that I have my own baby.  Not necessarily being young in terms of age but being young at heart.  See these pictures below:

See?  Imagine how fun the picture looks like, imagine Rey and Lola enjoys playing with Gab's lego or riding that toy animal on the mall.  How do you think it would look like if its only Rey or Lola alone is playing the lego or riding that toy animal in the mall, don't you think it looks crazy? Gab can play with anything, he loves his lego, toy cars, his books on batman and cars.

Well, its not really all about toys, he can also play with anything you find at home.  He plays with our whole body sized-mirror, he carries the small desk fan all around the house of course his nanny runs after him, puspuhes our chair with casters, what he loves the most is placing all our rags and mattresses on a basin full of water.

How I wish I am still a kid.  But how come when we were still young, we pray so much to become older than we are.  I guess its all about inocence!

Here is my baby's new hobby....Picture Taking

Imagine how Gab is addicted to taking his pictures!!!

Gab's Past Time

I wonder what's with kids nowadays.  My son Gab doesn' t like toys, I mean real toys.  He would rather play with some things instead of toys that kids would normally want  to play with.

Look at that boy playing inside the closet, and the toy in his hand, its one of our calculator.

Thanks to Ninang Chel for the new Bench Teddy bear he got as Christmas present.

Gab loves it and keeps on kissing the bear on its nose.
