March birthdays x 4

Yeap, we celebrated 4 birthdays earlier this month ... my mom, Ms. Evelyn (Lino's mom), Ryan, and Blake.  The initial plan was to celebrate at the beach but it didn't play out due to weather and other circumstances ...maybe next year!  Anyway, we had a pleasant family get-together.  The usual social fun ... food, laughs, pinata, cake, and presents.  ~My brother Neil and his family are coming from the Philippines towards the end of the month, so we'll probably celebrate again!  :)

Time's flying ...Ryan turned 12 and Blake turned 9!

The girlfriend count is on!

To family who's reading this, you must promise not to tell him that I wrote about this or you may not continue to read this!!! Actually, everyone who reads this ... sshhhhh!!!

I had a very cute conversation with my almost 8yo nephew as we were waiting for David to get out of school. There, parked in the car we had small talk and then got into a conversation about girlfriends. I asked him if he had any and he replied, "I had 3 girlfriends but I lost it, I lost it!!". Funny, he kept referring to the girls as it instead of them. You might be saying that he meant "it" as something else like his mojo. No, the conversation was clear that he was indicating the girls. Anyway, he preceded to tell me that he had his first girlfriend in pre-school and they were together until kindergarten. In first grade he had his second and third girlfriend. I'm going to jump into the conversation about the last two girlfriends because it was one of those moments that you had to be there! So, I asked him what they do together and he replied, "Nothing. I hardly see them." " What do you mean?", I asked. He then told me that he met each of the girls during recess and that's the only time he would see them if he saw them at all because "It's a big crowd! There's tons of people everywhere!". He also doesn't remember their names! With giggles, "I forgot." So now in second grade, he does not have a girlfriend ... YET! He doesn't like anyone from his class and it's too big of a crowd to find anyone at recess. The boy's adorable! Maybe he did lose his mojo.

Circus Wrap-Up

This past weekend was the last nights of "The Great All American Youth Circus". On Saturday the family and few relatives (my parents, Monica, Jessica and kids, Patty & John) went to see David in action. The show was a feast on the eyes. Several different things happening at the same time during each act. It was long, but fabulous! Unfortunately, the pictures I took that night didn't come out well. Although the performers came out unscathed, little Anthony did not. Towards the end of the show, he slipped and bumped his head and was rushed to the hospital. You can imagine that the excitement of watching the show changed after that! Anyway, he's alright now.

The very last show on Sunday, David asked who'd be there to see him. I told him his Aunt Sheila and his cousins. He replied, "That's all?". I reminded him that his grandma Bertha, Aunt Tish, and couple "cousins" watched him the week before, then the whole family and said relatives came Saturday, also few friends from church we were aware of, and of course the "10,000 people". That cheered him up again. Then, I thought it sure would be nice to see the very last show and David would certainly have a blast seeing it with his best pal, Kuya Blake. I asked Dave if he'd watch Sophia (she was a handful on Saturday) while David, Steven, and I stay for the entire show. I mentioned it to Sheil and she went ahead and bought tickets for David and I. How totally sweet and generous! David was thrilled to see the show with his Kuyas. Thanks Chick, you're awesome!!!

He's the 5th kid on the mat

Sorry for the blurry pictures. Keep in mind that I had Steven on my lap so I managed to capture only a few acts.
