Holiday Medley

December 23, Evening
As of my previous post, I need to buy a new mobile phone for the Mommy and yes, it's a success. I managed to buy a mobile phone for her, the brand is "I-mobile 222". A cheap dual sim with music player and VGA camera somewhat alike with MyPhone brand. Anyways, she thank me for the gift though I was questioned why I came home late.


December 24, Wacky's bike

My mission, to buy Wacky's gift...the bike. Plan A, it's afternoon, Me and Wacky went to a nearby bike store, found a cheap and decent bike worth Php2,000.00 (out of budget) though a bit rusty so I decided for Plan B. We then went to SM Sta. Rosa, there's a bike store in the ground floor so we went there straight ahead and he immediately found what he likes to ride. It's not the costly "Thomas & Friends" or the "Lightning McQueen" design, it's the "Spiderman" designed bike we took home. Well, there's not much of an choices out there and we are running out of time so even though the bike cost Php2,600.00, I decided to buy it. Wacky was just so happy to have it and we even take a test drive it around the mall. Afterward, we ate at McDonald's and buy the remaining Hotwheels Happy Meal that we Wacky still didn't have. We also bought a cake at Goldilocks as requested by her mom.


December 25, (Part 1) Baby-sitting 4 kids

Around 1pm, the Mommy's sister visit the house with her 2 kids, Basti and Surih. While they chatted around downstairs I was left baby-sitting my 2 kids and another 2 kids. Wacky played with Basti with his toy cars, Surih playing on her own in Cheska's crib and I'm watching TV and watching the kids play as well while carrying Cheska who can't sleep because of the noise. I was able to take photos of this kids and after an hour off this kids go and somehow was relieve.

December 25, (Part 2) To the Playground (Wacky's bike test drive)
After the visitors left, we immediately prepare to have Wacky's bike test drive going to the playground. The Mommy stayed to clean the house (it's a bit in a messed when the visitors left while me), Cheska on her stroller and Wacky riding his bike, we went ahead to the playground. From there we took some photos, Wacky got to play around with other kids while me and Cheska stayed in the grass while she sleeps and I took that time to rest from stress of baby-sitting the kids.

Though everything was cut short due to bad weather, it's a good timing that their mom arrived to help us (I asked her to come and bring food but she didn't bring anything) and we took off and went in the house to rest.




December 26, Giggling Cheska

There are leftover food in the ref and we just don't want to ate them all through out the weekend so we've been thought about what to for dinner. There's not much of fast food around our place except for Jolibee but there's lot of canteen around. What makes it difficult to decide is that what will the kids eat (healthy) because for us adult it's easy to decide. We decided to takeout food in the best tapsilogan canteen around, it's one tricycle ride from our place. We ordered 1 order of each: Tocilog, Hot Sisig and Liempo while we ordered a large Lugaw for Wacky from the canteen besides the canteen that we are ordering, hehehe. Wacky ate the lugaw from the other canteen while the Mommy waited for our order from the tapsilogan canteen while carrying sleeping Cheska. From the time she got the order she went to other canteen to fetch us and we takeout the remaining lugaw (the ordered lugaw is in a big bowl, it's called "barkada size" and it's good for 3-4 adults). What's funny about it was that before we asked the waiter to takeout the lugaw, it still have the whole egg in it but when we arrived the house it's not there anymore. Anyways, we ate the food we ordered from the taposilogan that night, it's good, while we ate the takeout lugaw for breakfast the next day.

Enough about the food, that night around 11pm, I have the chance to watched "WWE TLC (Tables, Ladders and Chairs)", yeah, wrestling! It's the big boys telenovela! I enjoyed watching it from the days of Hulk Hogan and Andre the Giant to The Rock and Stone Cold Steve Austin's era to the new wrestlers around. I've missed watching ever since 2007, so I'm a bit out of date and I don't know the names of the new wrestlers. This is the good thing about deciding to installed cable for our TV some weeks ago, hehehe. Going back, I was in the middle of watching the fatal four way match between Edge, Kane, Rey Mysterio and a new wrestler (I can't remember his name, hehehe) when Cheska woke up. So I stood up and get her milk and gave it to her. When she was done with her milk, she still not sleeping. The amazing thing happened that night is that I let her sit down on her own, played with her while she slapped my hands with her bottle's cap she held and she just giggled, laugh out load and scream watching me got hurt. Well, that was some slapstick comedy, babies love it! We did that for around 15-20 minutes without me supporting her (we did it while my eye, from time to time, snick out still watching the wrestling match). After that, she was so tired that she fell down from where she sits down and that's a sign that she want to sleep already. I carry her to make her sleep and me still watching wrestling with a Chairs Match between John Cena and Wade Barrett. The match ended with John Cena winning it with a bang. After that I go to sleep.




December 27, (Part 1) The blanket playtime

Monday morning, we all woke up around 6AM or maybe Cheska woke up earlier than that (I don't know because Cheska always wakes up the earliest, she's like our alarm clock and we oftentimes wake up seeing her not in her place), Cheska will always go near her brother and tap him and Wacky doesn't like it, it's the usual scenario in the morning. Wacky go near me and plays around and since it was cold, Wacky grab our blanket, cover up himself and I soon follow him inside the blanket and later on get Cheska to join us inside. Wacky would then tell story about the movie he saw, usually immitating the movie lines he watched the night after. I then saw Cheska just smiling at what her brother is doing while she sit down silently with us. I then get off for a while and took photos of this playtime. It's a good bonding moment and this gave me an idea to do this again, maybe next time when I don't have to go to work.

December 27, (Part 2) The search for the grilled hotdog

Later on the afternoon, the mommy have an appoinment for another landscaping job (she's gaining clients this month), I was left with the kids. Cheska was asleep while Wacky is watching his favorite animated movies in the laptop, I asked him if he wants to go in the playground and he automatically say 'Yes'. So I prepare for their things, waited for Cheska to wake up and Wacky finishes the movie he's watching. Around 3:15PM, we went off to go in the playgound, Cheska in her stroller and Wacky in his bike. Of course, I took some photos of that moment.

Wacky took off to the playground and played with other kids while me and Cheska stayed in the grass. Wacky would sometime paly in the grass if he sees other kids running around, playing with balls and paper planes (which gives me an idea to bring our own ball next time). Cheska was very awake so no rest this time, I gave her some biscuits to eat and finished it all. It's so windy that afternoon so I put on Cheska's jacket and that cut down the time we have in the playground which Wacky won't accept easily. So I offer Wacky to buy grilled hotdog and he agreed to took off the playground, that's around 5PM.

We went to the nearest barbeque stand around the playground but the 1st barbeque stand was not operating yet. So we went to the next stand that I know but it's not available. So I decided to go back to that 1st barbeque stand but before we get there some unnecessary things happen. We went over a road where there are dogs, 2 of them, at first they seem to be silent but when we passed by them, they barked at us and Wacky was scared, I am scared too but not for me but for my kids. Relieved from those dogs, Cheska cried, being in an awkward position from her stroller, we stopped. While Wacky twirls around he fell off from his bike, hurt his hand and cried. Now I have 2 kids crying, thank goodness Cheska stopped crying once I re-positioned her from her stroller and immediately carry Wacky to calm him down. The sun was almost setting and I have to keep my promise to Wacky to buy grilled hotdog so we proceed in going to 1st barbeque stand but before we reached the place Wacky fell off again from his bike but did not cried this time. He's a bit tired and he also just panicked because a tricycle behind us is coming. After that, at last, we reached the 1st barbeque stand and bought 2 grilled hotdogs.

Been thinking that time that if we should have waited for the 1st barbeque stand to open, we should have not experience being barked by dogs, Wacky falling down 2 times from his bike, we could have eaten the grilled hotdog earlier and we could have gone home earlier as well. Anyways, we ate the grilled hotdog while slowly going home and everything was worth it.
