Gab's affair

with his new bicycle...


"hmm, this looks beautiful"

"how do i ride thee?"

"let me try it my way..."

"it seems easy...it's running now"

I did it...

from now on, nothing's gonna stop me ...

my gown can have all the creases

we stood as principal sponsors the other weekend. because the wedding was early, hubby and i were all dressed up before Gab woke up. in the mood for shooting, we asked our helper to take our photo. lo & behold, Gab suddenly appeared from his room & managed to squeeze into the camera's frame ...

still in pajamas! i tried to shove him to the side because he was signalling me to carry him & i was concerned with my gown. but he started to protest. seeing the hurt in my son's eyes, i quickly lifted him up to my arms...






and got this beautiful shot in my entire life! i didn't care anymore. my gown can have all its creases (yes, they were visible as i walked into the church hours later), but i can never forget Gab's smile as he posed with us.

when we bid goodbye to him, he was actually smiling, pleased that Mommy caved in to his demand that i carry him while i was all dressed up.



i love this cropped image - proof of Gab's sheer joy. and ours too...

he is fast growing up

tita sol, do check my multiply site also at http://geenatee.multiply.com/ if you have time. got few posts about Gab...a warning though, multiply sucks! it takes eternity to open it. but am sticking to it because i have an existing network there.

equal to the last drop

while buying my lunch in a carenderia near our office, i noticed two boys giggling with their eyes closely inspecting two glasses filled with orange soda. i realized they were sharing a bottle of soft drink and were obviously making sure their glasses have the same amount.

that also happened to us when we were small. each time we were treated with our all time favorite soft drink, i can remember all of us siblings would closely watch our glasses as my mother/father poured the drink. and to make sure we got the same amount, we would place our glasses side by side and do visual check. if lucky to be given more, we kept mum. but howls of protest can be heard from those given less. being our models of fairness, my parents would always summon those who got more to fill from their share the glass with less soft drink . it was all fun for me - the inspection/comparison of glasses and the ensuing arguments for fair share. but more importantly it became part of my foundation for understanding and living out honesty , fairness and sharing.
