6. when i came home, gillian was out in the garage. she looked so chinese with her hair brushed up tightly. as usual, my celphone was her pacifier--she held it while she drank her milk and slept. she stayed awake from 2am and we played till 4am; she finally went back to bed. *groggy me*

5. left very early for antipolo and came home past 6pm already. played for some minutes with my girl. she missed me and didn't want to go to bed. i had to stay up again to prepare for the workshop tomorrow *sleepy me*

4. my three-day workshop in antipolo city for the Council for the Welfare of Children starts tomorrow. am so anxious because i haven't fully thought out in my mind how to bring out from that workshop everything that should be brought out. ang labo ba? i slept late...what was this day like with g?

3. g's third special day! sa UP office naman ni mommy!

for today, liz was my events coordinator :) she invited all g's guests for me and ordered food from mrs. cervantes. we had rice, kare-kare, hilaw na mangga with bagoong, chicken bbq, four seasons fruit punch and buko pandan! all yummy! i brought g's cutey flower-and-butterfly cake and one balloon centerpiece. g enjoyed the kare-kare, sipped the fruit punch, played ball, listened to a story and walked around the office and outside. she took a nap while waiting for me. good girl siya, noh?

2. g's very special day!

we were at the mary the queen baptisty exactly at 10am; fr. leon officiated it. there were two other babies and their families with us. she was the noisiest :) after sometime, she wanted to leave the baptistry already and kept pointing at the door. it was a special moment for me, to be there carrying her with janette and may beside me.

the party at gloria maris was a cozy one. g's cake was very pretty!!! the table centerpieces with the pink and silver balloons looked dainty and playful enough. everything looked perfect! only that g looked dazed and cranky by 1pm. good thing she dozed off on her stroller. when she awoke, it was time for the picture taking and going home!

"overwhelmed ba ang star princess sa kanyang party? sana nandoon ako, isasayaw ko siya continously :) nu'ng friday after i got off work, i dreamt of her and you. karga-karga ko siya, tapos ngiti nang ngiti sa akin, sabi ko pa sa 'yo raw, "ganito ba siya kalapit sa mga strangers?" and you responded, "sa mga close niya lang..." malaki na siya, with ngipin, and faded ang hair niya sa likod pero mahaba sa taas, parang boyish na haircut and i was so delighted kasi ang ganda-ganda niyang tingnan."

1. oh no, i haven't bought g a veil yet for tomorrow! i remember ki and danz had those when they were baptized. hmm...ninangs should come in handy here, hehe. hello, janette? magsha-shopping ka ba mamaya? pabili naman ng veil ni gillian o!...
