Moms of the Childbirth and Child Care Threads - Part 8

[emeenem]

Lisa, kung kelan mo unang nakitang nag erupt yung tooth niya, yun ang sundin mong date

Hala, umpisa na yan. Hindi na sila magmumukhang baby! :p

Van, nakahanap ka na ba ng dress? I usually go to Tango and The Ramp for dresses.

Rata, magkapitbahay tayo (nung dalaga ako)! France kami and a few houses away from Mini Stop.

Gusto ko din cake ng Devil's Food Cake ng Chocolate Kiss sa Bahat ng Alumni in UP. I have been dying to taste Estrel's Caramel Cake. Nalalayuan kasi ako and dapat advanced order pa. Masaya na ako sa Caramel Cake ng Cravings.

[twelvth_goddess]

Lisa and Marcia, this weekend pa ko bibili ng dress para kasama si hubby for seal of approval hehe. Actually plan ko dapat kanina gumising ng maaga para dumaan sa Gateway kaso hinde ko maiwan si Zoe. Tama nga kayo, I should get a dress in light colors. I'm so excited, sarap ng may reason to shop teehee!

Lisa, ok na yung kuryente samin, pero past 9 pa naayos ng Meralco. Good thing one of our other neighbors offered na magkabit ng extension muna for 2 electric fans. Si hubby nga pa-pack na sana ng things para mag-stay muna sila sa nearby hotel pero buti dumating na yung meralco truck.

[clueless]

Van, nakakainggit ang may reason to shop. Ako last na yung happy baby at talagang ban na muna! kailangan na magtabi for the 1st birthday party.

Marcia, thanks. Ni-record ko na ang milestone. sana bukas makunan ko ng picture.

Miss ko na ang estrel's. Pero naalala ko pala na masarap din ang caramel cake ng becky's! At least mas malapit samin kesa estrels. Isang month yan bilhin ko fir b's monthly birthdays. Nung una wala akong balak mag-cake pag monthly birthday kasi feeling ko OA. But it's a good excuse to get cake at iba-iba para di naman nakakasawa. Hee.

[ratacutie]

Lisa - naku!!! Betty's nga is the VERY best sansrival. Halos ganun yung kay Gay.  betty's yung caterer namin nung wedding namin kasi kaklase ng MIL ko and Tita Madre ko nung HS yung owner. Super hit yung food kasi sarap sila talaga.  While we had a dessert buffet (c/o Baba - Classic Confections), nag insist si Tita Betty na kelangan mag serve sila ng sans rival.  Binigyan pa nya kami ng isang buo to take home na for us lang. Aba, pag uwi namin from our overnight stay sa Manila Diamond, ubos na ng mommy ko! halos maiyak ako! Nung wala pa kaming anak, dinadayo pa namin ng husband ko to eat sa resto nila pero nung meron na, too far eh.

Marcia - sayang! haha pero sa UN ako for 37-38 yrs. Now lang na bubukod na kami na dun kami lilipat. 

Van - naalala ko pala, yung brother in law ko kasi American, he works for the US govt. he was assigned here kaya sila nagkakilala ng sister ko. anyway, nagpa civil wedding sila muna para ma jumpstart nya yung petition. they were married sa church less than 2 months later at nakaalis agad sila for the US.  I'm just not sure if it's because he works for the US govt. You want me to ask my friend na immigration lawyer sa US (Marose, si V...you know who I mean?). Kasi I also remember her telling me na mas mabilis din daw to process a petition if andun na sa US yung pinepetition.  At that time kasi my tita was already there and my cousin asked me if my tita should come back here muna while in process yung petition. It turns out, nag go through na yung petition even before the 6 months was up.

About teething - iba iba talaga bawat baby. Daughter ko, may teeth na by 5-6 months. Son ko, lampas 1 year old na ata.

[twelvth_goddess]

Rata, yes please paki-ask naman yung friend mo. I"ll pm you regarding this ha

[ratacutie]

sure. baka hindi lang natin ma expect immediate reply ha. busy yun eh. hindi ko na nga alam kung andito sya or asa US haha. basta as soon as i get your specifics, I'll e-mail her.

[twelvth_goddess]

^ok sis. Thanks so much ah

[Grayce]

lisa, si FG daw owner ng eskaya, trulili kaya? yes maganda dyan pero wah sa mahal haha! pang el nido nalang namin ni hubby or ipapang dive ko nalang Lost horizon sounds super familiar. I tried to list down resorts kasi in Palawan, Bohol and cebu before nung nasa Mares pa ako.

marcia, yung devils cake ng chocolate kiss susme pinagsawaan ko dati tapos nung nagopen sila ng branch sa morato area eh bumalik na naman ang addiction ko

rata, betty's kitchen is yun ba yung malapit sa may angelicum?

[clueless]

grayce, not sure kung si FG nga.

check mo sa deal grocer yung package nila ng el nido! may bohol din.

becky's kitchen sa may vito cruz, betty's sans rival sa may angelicum. 

[Grayce]

^TAMA! naalala ko na ang betty's na yan. LOL. nameet ko na yung apo ng owner a few times kasi husband (bf by then) nya member ng car club. there was an issue before na kay FG daw ang eskaya.

re: el nido. BI! ayokong tumingin, pikit muna ako pero 1 eyes lang

[simplykristine08]

Saan po ba yung Estrel's? Betty's na masarap ang sans rival? Thanks

[redrose]

Good morning mommies! 

Napadaan lang, mukhang ang haba ng BR ko. LOL

Lisa - na-deliver na pala nung May 4 yung dollies. Pa-check na lang po 

[marose17]

Tin, sa may Scout area ang Estrel's.  Malapit sa St. Mary's na school.  QC as usual.

Hindi ako mahilig sa sans rival, pero alam ko rin kung saan ang Betty's.  Basta pagkain, alam ko LOL.

Grayce, sa El Nido (Lagen resort) kami nag-honeymoon ni hubs.  Pang-honeymoon talaga!  Walang tv sa rooms.

Sa Chocolate Kiss, gusto ko din aside from the devil's food cake, yung Kahlua butter cake. Sarap!  Noong unang nagbukas iyan sa UP, nasa law school pa ko.  Halos every day, kumakain kami diyan.  Nakakain na rin ako sa Morato branch nila.

Speaking of T. Morato, if you like cheesecakes, masarap ang cheesecake sa Taste of L.A.  Marami din restos along T. Morato and the side streets.  Ang latest kong napuntahan is Cerchio. 

Lisa, re teething, mga kids ko nag-erupt ang first tooth nila when they were 11 months old yata.  Naku, hindi ko na-record.

My gulay, ang baby book ng mga kids ko na nakatago sa box, yellow na ang pages.  At wala pang entries!

Maussie, I love Classic Confections!  Sarap ng kape doon (Illy).  Masarap ang Nono's chocolate oblivion at lemon torte, pati ang butter cookies and almond crunch.  Happy place ko yun.  Kapag sad or stressed ako, I'd go to CC and have dessert and coffee, minsan kahit mag-isa lang ako okay na ko doon.

My officemate is Baba Ibazeta's cousin.  I also inquired sa kanya for my wedding cake.  Kaso, December at hindi na niya kaya isingit sa sked niya ang cake.  Sa Bizu naman ako nagpagawa ng wedding cake, yung strawberry shortcake.  Noong binyag ng twins, sa Bizu kami kumuha ng dessert buffet.  Simot!

Nasa Greenbelt 5 ang Classic Confections kaya accessible sa mga taga-South.

Lisa again, mag-oorder nga ako ng custaroons para sa birthday ng kids.

Hay, dami kong work, maghahabol ako sa party planning.  Next month na kaya.

[MauiGS]

Good morning mommies... starting the friday "right" with GT! hahaha
Same question with Tin, san nga ba exact location ng Estrel's? Betty's? Becky's? Must find/try ko yan pagbalik namin sa lupang tinubuan 

And speaking of cake, kaylangan ko ng maghanap pala nga gagawa ng cake ng anak ko for her birthday! Lurker mode nga ako sa kabila... enjoy the rest of the day mommies!

[redrose]

Oh speaking pala of custaroons, merong newly opened Gigi Custaroon's inside the Padre Pio church in Libis. You might want to drop by girls  Gigi is the daughter of Don Ramon daw 

[marose17]

Jen, kailangan makasimba kami diyan.  What time ulit ang Sunday mass?  Puwede ba ang kids sa loob ng chapel?

[clueless]

map ng estrels. Order 1 day in advance.

betty's sans rival

becky's kitchen - meron na pala sa pasig, sa valle 1

Nabasa ko nga may "custaroonery" sa libis. Yung groupong ng custaroons recently oang-poppers, yung bite-size, tapos assorted flavors. Kaya di ako bumili.

Jen, noted.

[redrose]

Marose - pwede kids inside the chapel (pero not as in really inside), naku po di ko masyado ma-explain. Basta may designated area for parents with kids, parang aquarium area as I view it. Dinig mo pa din naman ang mass and you see what's going on inside (sa altar).

Schedule of mass are as follows:

Saturday: 5PM - 6PM (anticipated mass)

Sunday: 10AM - 11PM; 12:15PM - 1:15PM; 5PM - 6PM; 7PM - 8PM

Only 12:15PM and 7PM masses on Sunday ang merong Annointing of oil and Veneration of relics 

Yung Gigi's Custaroonery eh as in tabi lang ng parking, newly constructed siya kaya you won't miss it.

[pinkcoyote]

Good morning mommies! Usapang food na naman ha hehe.. and with that, san kayaaganda maglunch or dinner sa Morato area for Sunday? Cross out na ang Romulo's and Il Terazzo restos..parati na kami dun eh, ano pa bang bago na nice? I've heard about Cerchio - okay ba dun?

Advanced happy mother's day mommies! just saw the promil ad for mom's day, ang cute

by the way, baka may mga Maggi beef and chicken noodles kayo dyan? discard nyo na because it's positive w/ salmonella nirerecall na ng maggi

[clueless]

Jen, yung ganong rooms in church are usually called crying rooms. For kids para di maka-disturb. Bihira ang church na may ganyan dito satin. Sabihin kay bubblin don magsimba para hindi marindi sa mga bata at baka kung ano pang gawin niya.
