gabriel's baptism

finally, after a little more than 6 months.. my little Gabriel was baptized. well, i got baptized when i was 14 months old, so i guess that's still early.. and we have the same reason.. we were waiting for the same person.. my dad, his papa.

it was a very quick everything. it took us less than a week to prepare. less than 30 minutes in church for the actual ceremony and maybe less than 2 hours at the reception.. quick way to spend money too! hahaha!

anyways, here are some of the moments that my friends captured. dax and i were too busy with gabriel since he was crying every now and then.

he really cried a lot during the reception. i guess too many unfamiliar faces scared him at that time. but, there were still happy moments...

the day after...

my first mum's day

last sunday was my first mum's day - and firsts never happen again (well for the same thing, i mean). we didn't do anything really special though. we (dax, gabriel and i) just went to tagaytay and had lunch with my mom and dad... and of course, took some pictures.




gabriel is so fond of menus (as in restaurant menus). the day before that, we had lunch at congo grille and dinner at poquito mas (we're trying to see which resto we're getting for his baptismal celebration/reception) and he was all over the menu. and it was the same joy in his eyes looking at dencio's menu in tagaytay. he is so so so funny.




now, i have another special day in my list - a day which celebrates me. my birthday and... mother's day!
