Staycation Escapade at Armada Hotel

Last February 26th was the 18th birthday of my eldest daughter, Mary Gabrielle or Gabie as we fondly call her. We did not have the usual cotillion party and lavish preparation. We decided to have a staycation instead at Armada Hotel. Here is our short but sweet escapade.

Armada Hotel is located at the heart of Ermita, Manila. We booked for the Deluxe room with 2 queen-sized beds for the duration of 3 days 2 nights accommodation.

Echoserang Bata Chronicles: Valentine's 2016

Ang sabi mo pumunta ako sa dati nating tagpuan.

I did. At my very best.

Ang sabi mo, we'll make this day special.

Excited naman ako.

I waited and waited. 

But you never came.

Baka naman wala ka lang pamasahe, sana tinext mo ako.

Or maybe you got stuck in traffic 

para sa EDSA na lang tayo nagkita. 

But as the hours passed by, 

no sign of you and I believe that's final.

Hay, naman...

Nangawit na ako sa kakapose. 

Pero you never came.

It was almost sundown and I am losing hope by then.

Oh well, maybe that's my fate.

You'll never see nor hear from me again.

Sa iba mo na lang ibenta ang chicharon mo!

Marami pa sana akong bibilhin!

Echoserang Bata Chronicles: The Next Top Model

Move over models! The next Top Model is now here to conquer the ramps. 

Maxime now knows how to pose and emote whenever I take pictures of her. Here are some of our shots. I know you've seen some of these already in my Instagram account. These batch of photos have only some slight editing, but I guarantee you that the joy is 100% genuine.

"One day, you're gonna remember me and how much I loved you, then you're gonna hate yourself for letting me go." Chuvaness! Pwede na ba Nay?

Nay, Tay... Alis muna ako ha. Hanap lang ng ka-date. 

Balik din ako agad. (Taken last Valentine's Day)

Echoserang Bata: The Not-So-Old-Files

Hello! Here are some of the photos of Maxime which were not uploaded in any of my social media accounts. While I was checking for the photos in my memory card, I saw these funny and caught off-guard moments of the Echoserang Bata. So I thought I might as well post them here in  my blog. 

Have fun!

Miggy's Immunization Schedule

We went out to see Miggy's Pediatrician yesterday for his scheduled immunization. It's his 2nd shot of Pentaxim (Diptheria, Tetanus, Pertussis, and Polio Myelitis). Last month, he had Rotateq oral vaccination for Rotavirus. He's 2 months and 18 days today. He's grown so fast and I feel that a little bit heavier too. 

Here's our photo documentary of what transpired during our short trip.

His outfit for the day (OOTD). Clothes by Tita Arni Florencio, shoes by Tita Nene, socks and handkies from my Future Care Inc. family.

Well, how do I look? Stunning, ei?

And here's little Maxime's OOTD as well...

 We arrived at Cardinal Santos Hospital around 9:30 AM. While waiting for our turn, the big sister is busy playing with the big calculator and weighing scale. As if she's computing the things around her.

Echoserang Bata! 

And it's confirmed! He gained weight over the month. He is now 6.9 kgs. Almost a kilo was added to his previous weight.

Father-daughter time.

Yes, I cut my hair short. Miggy keeps on pulling and tagging it so I decided to cut it short. And of course, just getting ready for the summer season.

Meet the Doc!

 Meet Miggy's lovely and elegant Pediatrician - Dr. Angel Aquino Gonzales. No, she's not a showbiz personality, although you might get an inkling feeling that she's one because of her almost silver screen name and flawless face. But she does numerous TV guestings already for "Mars" where she gives advises and answers questions pertaining to medicine in general and most especially infant and children care.

Little Munch Time

We grabbed a quick meal at the hospital's Food Court before heading home.

Food Court of Cardinal Santos Hospital.

On Our Way Home

Maxime's munching her Honey Glazed doughnut which we bought at the Foodcourt of Cardinal Santos Hospital.

Thank you Doc!

The check sign band-aid over Miggy's thigh is where the vaccine was injected. Thanks Tita Doc for the care. See you next month...

The Birth of Echoserang Bata

This was the first photo of Maxime Danielle taken last July 7, 2012. 

Since then, I dubbed her the #echoserangbata in my Instagram account whom everybody loves!
