My nephews are a big fan of WWE. This is pretty much obvious in the above picture where Lance poses as John Cena. In addition, Justin (Lance’s twin) posed as Umaga. Aside from those, my brother helped them collect all the slam cards from 7-11. Of course, he bought most of the cards from the kids outside 7-11 in Better Living so that he could complete it.

Last Friday night, I had a photo shoot with Dad and yes, he was my model. The photo was used for the ACPAPP Supplementary which was available with Philippine Daily Inquirer dated January 23, 2007. During the photo shoot, we even argued about the whole body photograph which he insisted and the half body photograph that I suggested. The whole body photograph that I took was later on cropped. Hehe.

It seems that Dad’s getting another dose of exposure in PDI after his article being published there in 2003 and after being interviewed on his comment on the Toll Price Hike.

We spent our Noche Buena at our place in Siniloan, Laguna. It is a Christmas eve where we do not have internet access and as well as Cable TV. My brother just played basketball and both of my siblings had a jump shot for the lack of something to do. Aside from that, they forced Lola Pining to have her picture taken even though she’s not wearing her false teeth. Dad even posed as a chef even if he’s not the one who cooked the food last night. Aside from that, our dear brother forced us to pose as if we did not like the presents that we received which is exactly the way Justin looked like after not opening a toy as a present. (more…)

It has been a custom to treat your family after receiving your first paycheck. Just this evening, Claudia treated us at Zong for dinner. When we arrived there, we thought that it will take time for us to be seated. We’re plain lucky that all the other guests belong to a group of more than ten. If you’re going to treat a big group, I suggest you and treat your family or friends at Zong for lunch or for dinner. It’s also good to make a reservation so that you won’t have to wait in line.

I just cannot believe the email that I’ve read awhile ago. I’m here at an Internet shop at Singapore, just a few steps from the hotel. It’s about my cousin Audrey, her husband Damien and their child. They had a car accident at around 12:30 am last Sunday (PST) on their way home. The car fell of an enbankment and burned. All of them died. When I was 14 years old, that was the first and the last time that I got the chance to hang out with Audrey. She brought me some place where we could play mini golf and we ate out like pigs even if our stomach was full already. I was hoping to meet Audrey and her family by the time I will go to US for a vacation before my US Visa will expire. Unfortunately, that would not happen anymore. All that I will get to see there are their pictures showing how happy they were when they’re still alive.

I know that this would hurt Tito Burt, Tita Yolly and Kevin because Audrey has always been really sweet. To Audrey and family, we will surely miss you.

Today is my Dad’s birthday! Tomorrow we will be celebrating it at Dish, Quezon City because he wants to watch Bloomfields. In case you do not know, Bloomfields are mostly known for their covers of Beach Boys songs. However, do not have a misconception that Bloomfields are composed of members that are in their 40’s. In fact, they are around my age. They are composed of JJ Lozano (on guitars), Louie Poco (on bass), Pepe Lozano (also on guitars, Lakan Hila (on keyboards), and Rocky Collado (on drums). Surprisingly, Lakan was my classmate in one of the general engineering subjects (Strength of Materials) way back in college. Our block was merged with their block (Industrial Engineering block) for that particular class. By the way, all of them hailed from La Salle Greenhills. Join their Yahoo!Groups if you want to know more about Bloomfields and also get to know some latest updates from the band.

My nephews and Carol was discussing earlier about how they are good in swimming. It’s like one of those “payabangan ng lolo” sessions but they are really referring to about themselves. They are really funny. They were even demonstrating it. For instance, they were doing the popular shark swim style. In my childhood days I usually do that one. Well, almost all are doing the shark swim style as a joke. Then, they were asking Mom to go to our Uncle’s house so that they could swim. Then my Mom said yes and they were screaming their hearts out, “YEHEY!” while they were jumping. Then, when my brother arrived my nephews told him that they wanted to go swimming. However, their excitement was turned to frustration when he would not let them swim. Afterwards, Justin was all quiet and was making ala Puss in boots face. With that, my brother gave them the permission to swim at our Uncle’s place.

Justin and Lance turned five today! They had a little party at their school (a new school they just transferred to this school year) just like last year. Of course my brother bought two cakes for them since they are not in the same class. There’s a rule that twins cannot belong in one class. Thus, he bought a Batman cake for Justin (which is evident in last year’s invitation that I made) and a Superman birthday cake for Lance (since he now fancies being a superhero with a cape like Justin). The goodie bags for their classmates were treats from the Halloween Party that Lance and Justin attended wherein they wore the costumes as shown in the above picture. Too bad I was not able to attend their birthday party in their school since I have work to attend to.
