here are a few of my son’s first birthday photos. i had my bro, ken, design this layout for a photobook i ordered from artscow a some months back (i made a separate post about it here).

i wanted my son’s birthday to be simple yet very memorable, it was his very first in the first place + i was very excited preparing for it. we had a simple celebration in a jollibee branch nearby. we invited my closest friends, jared’s god parents (some were not able to come since we live in a far off place) and some family friends + neighbors. we had games for both kids + adults + everyone had lots of fun. all the hard work + the penny spent paid off, especially when i saw my son’s reaction to the jollibee mascot – priceless!

am looking forward to my son’s 2nd birthday several months from now…

this is my late entry to this week’s

and…here we go!

1. For me, it was a simple gesture from someone to make another person feel so much special that goes a long way.

2. i’d love to check out some delicious ripe mangoes at my local supermarket.

3. Behind the sound of the wind in the trees, I heard the trees giggle with delight as the leaves gently brush their barks.

4. Learning how to swim is something I always wanted to do.

5. When it was over, you look back with a sigh on bittersweet memories, but never with regret.

6. I was left alone for hours on end at home with my son, but I never felt alone.

7. And as for the weekend, tonight I’m looking forward to hopefully catching up on a lot of my blogging back-logs, tomorrow my plans include going to the bloggers fest (which turned out to be another unaccomplished plan and Sunday, I want to just relax + stay at home with my son!

here’s me, figuring out a way to open my parcel

last week, mum picked up my 1st birthday photo book from the post office. this is the one she ordered from artscow about a month ago. the photo book contained all the lovely pictures we had during my very first birthday. my tito ken made a great layout + arranged the photos there too. very nice, i must say, + am not being biased here. so you’ll believe me, here are some photos mum took of my very first photo book:

i think mum is having loads of fun with this photo book that she plans to order more. let’s just see what other creative ideas she + tito ken might come up the next time she get another photobook.
