One Happy Mom

It's the Lenten season here and got a big time off from work. So here I am with a new post. I have to do this now because tomorrow mi familia will head off to Canyon Woods in Tagaytay and if I defer this post now, who knows when I can do it...

Anyways, as you may have noticed from this blog post title it's about my Mom again. She just turned "slenderly-three" last February and here are some pictures that captured her birthday moments. If your mouse does not have a mouse wheel you may wish you had one because you will be scrolling down a long way to finish off this post... well, there is always the scroll bar on the right...















We treated Mom for lunch. Here she is with my daughter Jasmin and my ever lovely wife Monette.











 

I guess my mom was happy that time since she was smiling a lot. Well, I do pride myself to know how to bring the grin out from her.


Sometimes I wonder if my mom is really looking at the camera or just staring blankly into space... whatever it is she sure do know how to look good in pictures. Oh by the way you will see a lot of me in this post. In case you don't know that's me in white...

From a lunch out we brought Mommie back to her house. Mom is watching the video that Monette and I made for her - you can watch the same in my last post - My Mommie.

My mom will kill me if she sees this picture. I could not resist to put it since rare is the chance that you see her making a face...





The next series of pictures is actually the real reason that I posted this pictures. I just hope she doesn't disown me after this...

She was in tears while she was watching the video. My deduction is since it was a chronicle of her life she just couldn't help but realize how much she has aged! What do you think...
Boo hoo hoo. She could not help it anymore but break down.
Oh how I love my Mommie!

I think she was a little pissed with us for making that video... Here are red eyes no image editor can ever remove!













Children are indeed a gift from God. My kids - Jopoy and Jasmin assuring their grandmother that we all love her... and saving me from getting disowned!

Phew! now she is smiling again... Happy Easter from my family and my Mommie to all of you! Until next time... I hope...

My Mommie

Well, it's been a year since my last post... lots of things have happened since then. My boy turned 19 and is now in 3rd year of college, excelling in his chosen course - teaching (such a noble profession). One more year and some more for his license and he is off to pursue his career. My daughter is turning 14 this March and will be in 2nd year high next school year. She has turned from playing the piano to the violin just to add a bit more about her. Monette is doing a lot of things - attending to the kids needs and a side dish of real estate brokering, she is a licensed broker you know. Ever need a property here in the Philippines, call on her. Me, well. I am just working and working and working...

But enough of us. This blog is not about me but for someone very special to me and to a lot of you. Someone who is turning "slenderly-three" - Mommy-yen to my cousins, to me - My ever beautiful Mommie.

I did a short compilation of pictures in video to give her honor. With a lot of help from my most beautiful and precious wife - Monette, to whom none of this will be possible. I love you my Monette!

You may recognize yourselves in some. Some pictures you have seen, some you have not. It's short, just about 13 minutes so if you can spare the time I hope you watch it in its entirety. Of course I hope you enjoy it and remember her on her most special day - February 21.

This one is for you Mommie. Happy Birthday and we all love you a lot!
