bad bLogGer

I'm such a bad blogger that no one wonder sheriff is not approving me at all! To catch up for way behind posts, here is a summary of the happenings these past weeks.

July 2: Holiday! Yey! No work (of course, it's not applicable if you're in a family business). It's cousin Mafee's 17th birthday as well. We had a lunch at their cozy country style home in Antipolo.

July 6: Mama Linda and Kuya Jovel's birthday! Joaquin surprised his Lola with a bouquet of flowers at the skating rink. Lola Linda was totally surprised, delighted, and squealed in laughter when she saw Joaquin with the flowers! Hahaha! how cute!

July 8: Papa Andy's birthday! Santiago clan had a sumptuous breakfast at Delifrance Libis.

July 9: Mama Linda and Kuya Jovel's birthday dinner at Gloria Maris greenhills, wherein Joaquin showed them his signature dance moves! Hahahaha!

July 10: This is a rare treat for me! Malling with my parents (with Joaquin, King, Viel, and Yaya Aimee in tow)! Papa loves it when he brings Joaquin and King to a kiddie gym/play area. He doesn't mind watching over them. It's therapy for him seeing his grandchild laughing and enjoying. While Papa was watching over the kids, my Mama and I went shopping at a trade fair, wherein Mama bought me a pair of really nice wedges! It was a Mom-daughter bonding time that I have terribly missed :(

July 11: Cousin Empoy's birthday breakfast at Delifrance Libis (that is fast becoming Santiago events place! Hahahaha!)

July 13: Lolo Omeng's 7th year death anniversary. Sometimes I wonder if Daddy Omeng was still alive... Joaquin would have surely made him smile and laugh... sigh... I miss Daddy Omeng.

July 16: Tito Jhong (Papa's youngest brother) leaves for the U.S. He stayed for three weeks here in Manila, but we didn't get to spend much time. Maybe if I get to travel to the U.S., we'll come by and visit to make up for lost time :)
