Tita Alice will forever remain in our hearts...

If I can only bring back September 30, Elle's first year birthday party, I would thank right there and then Tita Alice for sponsoring the video and photo of Elle's party. I should not have said things that I shared with Mommy. I should have just appreciated Tita Alice's gifts and learn from experience.

If I can only bring back October 1, Elle's actual first year birthday, I would have helped Tita Alice looked for a photo shop that will convert the video tape to cd. I should have saved her the energy to look for the shop and appreciate the fact that not everybody has a gracious aunt like her.

If only I had known that Tita Alice would be leaving us last October 12, I would have shown her how much i love her and how empty our lives would be without her... I should just appreciated all her "makefaces", her pangungulit, her unsolicited supports, her ala-fiesta grocery, her grand gifts...

If I can only bring back the time I would take extra effort to thank Tita Alice for all the support that she has given me Noy and Elle. I would give her red roses, a cake and a card with screaming letters saying "Thank you for everything and I love you".

So many ifs... but one thing is for sure. Tita Alice will forever remain in our lives. I will make sure that Elle grows up knowing how loved she was by Tita Alice. I will cascade to Elle every single things that Tita Alice thought me when I was small until I grew up to be a woman I am right now...

I love Tita Alice... I know that she is very happy right now together with Nanay, Toto, and Lolo. She has done her purpose in life and now she deserves to rest in peace in God's loving arms.

Happy Birthday Noysky!!!

Today is my sexylicious husband's birthday! It is his 45th birthday yet it looks like he is just celebrating his 35th!

I love Nonoy soooo much... I love him then, I love him now and I will forever love him for eternity. I love his sweet, innocent yet seductive smile. I love his sexy body... I love the way he kisses and hugs me... I just love everything about him.

Of course, nobody is perfect. Noy is not perfect and neither am I but the important thing is that we learn from experience and everyday we grow in wisdom.

God knows how grateful I am for giving me "Noy"... He is the greatest gift from Heaven!!! I would not have Elle if not for him...

I love Noy

A special tribute to the person who literally brought Elle out to this world… Dra. Regina Villar-Rivera.

Last year Dra Gigi Villar-Rivera literally brought out to life our healthy baby Elle Marie. She may not know it but if I were to guess the five people I will meet in heaven, I would say without a blink of an eye that one would be her.

Dra. Gigi is in all aspect our guardian angel. She took good care of me and Elle for more than nine months. She made sure that my early signs of pre-eclampsia were well taken cared of. She patiently explained to me everything about pregnancy from the most trivial to the technical. She would just smile at my bloopers and I guess contemplate in silence why I became her brother’s friend. (hehehe) She never hesitated to answer my calls beyond “business hours” and made sure that her "secretary-Mon" was always available in her absence.

Aside from the fact that she has the smile that could calm a “worrier” in me, she gave medical profession a different twist with her personalized service. I trust her so much with my life that I would go all the way to Ospital ng Muntinlupa just to see her and it really calms me. I remembered that I was rushed to Makati Medical Center (due to erroneous findings) and was required to see a resident OB. It took hours to convince me to stay and be examined by another OB and the first thing I did after release was see Dra Gigi.

After I gave birth to Elle Marie, I thanked Dra Gigi through text for taking good care of me and Elle and she replied that she was just doing her job. I replied back that I don't feel like she was just doing her job rather I felt loved and cared for…

If all doctors were like her, hospitals would only have smiling patients...

I love Dra Gigi... I know that she will never forget me and my bloopers especially the ultimate blooper while I was on labor… Amidst the pain and stress, I literally stopped "pushing and holding my breath" and asked Dra Gigi whether Elle’s nose will get distorted if it goes through my thight .… I have always dreamed of a baby with Noy’s nose!!! For months I would wake up in the middle of the night and hold Noy's nose (oh how I love his nose-- and everything about him hehe!)! She just smiled and said… "Ella don’t worry it will not get distorted… "

Groggy and all, the only things i could remember after giving birth to Elle were two voices. Elle's cry and Dra Gigi's comforting words... "O ella, matangos ilong ng baby mo!". oh how comforting...

D' Magic and Comedy of Jng D Magician

"Expect the unexpected" I know this rule by heart. Being an OC person, I have to keep this in my mind and in my heart to maintain my sanity. If not... I just don't know... Expect the unexpected and the one thing that was not ironed out before Elle's party was the sound system. We ended up with a new sound system BUT the microphone would not work! Got thing, Jing was patient and understanding enough to raise his voice so that everybody could hear him. He was so "game" despite the fact that the kids were trying to tease him with his tricks! I thank Jing for his effort and he really captured my guests attention! I have to mention this... I met Jing through a friend who is also a magician.
