My New LCD TV

Finally got a new tv. Got rid of the bulky old fashioned small tv that was given to me.

It's nice to play wii on this.

No fever

No fever after the injections, the 1,000 peso top up was not wasted.

I was fine after the injections.

Lola Levy is consoling me after my injections. And my milk is ready.

See what happned to my legs

Got some band-aid on my legs.

Vacuna Numero Dos

Aw. It hurts on my right leg.

Vacuna Numero Uno

Aw. It hurts on my left leg.

Say aahh.

Now for my routine check-up.

This is my pretty doctor

She's not only pretty but tall too.

Did I put on some weight?

I'm very consciuos about my weight, I don't wanna be fat.

Tito said put on some tabachingching.

Lola most of the time will ask me to dede even though I don't like it.

Mommy ask me to finish the can of milk. She said they have enough money to buy some more.

Daddy is worried, he said maybe I don't like the taste of the milk.

I did put on some weight but still slim.

I remember this place

Oh. This is the place where I was born.

Clei went to see the doctor

Clei is happy waiting for her turn.

Clei sleeps in her nurse's arms

I remember this picture, she's supposed to have her bath taken but she fell asleep. No choice but we have to wake her up.

Clei Sleeps in Koji's Arms

Clei can now change directions after turning over. Turning over was very easy for her. Next time she's gonna crawl.

Last time if you carry her she's very still now it's a different game. She will make "liyad", I don't have the word for it in English. I guess I just don't know.

Clei sleeps in Lola's arms

Clei went to Luneta last Saturday. Normally she will wake up around 5 to 6 am, but during that day Ten told me she woke up @ 4 am. Guess she's excited to go but then guess she woke up early because they might leave her @ home.

4 Months Old Today

Wow. Clei is 4 months old today. How time flies. Our nurse in the house, Tita Lesty said she can start eating light breakfast. I wonder how she eats? I guess messy, just like most babies does. I remember Ten gave her bananas but did not know how to eat them.

Clei is a bit sad this morning.

Ten told me she's a bit sad. I'm sad too. I guess she miss me also.

Normally before Nanay will give her a bath. I'm gonna give her a hug without her clothes. That's what the baby magazine said in an article.

I miss Rikichichay

Tres palabras. I miss Rikichichay.

Ten is calling Rikitisa. Have modified it to Rikichichay.

I miss Clei

3 words. I miss Clei.

Good thing I got plenty of her photos and some short videos.

This photo was taken yesterday when Lolo Boy gave her a ride on her stroller.

Clei is sick today

Poor Clei, she's sick today. she has cough and cold. She's using nebulizer to get rid of her sickness.

Last week I stayed overnight with Edison. We played wii together with Edwin. They have a new game NBA basketball. It's fun we played three point shoot and dunking. Edwin played till 12 am only while Edison and I played till 3 am.

I woke up around 10 am because of the noise of the construction nearby. Breakfast is ready prepared by Cora. I ate not waiting for Edison because I know he will get up around 1 pm. He woke up around 12 pm and we have lunch and brunch for him, spaghetti. We played tennis on wii after that.

Do I look like Clei?

I'm so excited, I'll be back home this coming Monday. I'll be seeing Clei for the second time. The first time I saw her, she was just a few weeks old. Now she's about 3 months old, more active and interactive as Ten describe her to me. Excited to see her turnover herself. I want to hear her giggle. I want to see her enjoy her bath.

Last week my Aunt (Tita Bae) called me. She saw the pictures of Clei I sent to Canada to the Magrata family. She said I look like Clei. That's nice. Maybe we both have curly hair? But I think she looks like her dad.

Whether she looks like Jay, Ten or myself, definitely she is pretty, cute and adorable.

Clei's morning with Ten and Jay

Today Clei woke up early and she did not cry. Her parents are still sleeping and ignoring her. She kicked Ten and pull her hair. She's getting their attention because she has poo poo. She's shouting at them to clean her poo poo.

So happy to see her pictures today.

Went to taekwondo class at night, it was fun. We're divided into two groups. The white belts and red and black belts combined. Of course Hyun the teacher joined us.

I read Clei's bib as super strawberry, but it's actually super baby.

Clei have her passport photo taken

Last Sunday Ten told me that Clei have taken her passport photo. She said she looks surprised in the photo. Maybe she look like this in the photo.

Helping out TKD school/PSP game sharing

Hyun Taekwondo Academy is getting bigger. Last Monday there were 2 Korean-Americans teenagers joined us in class.

Hyun taught us the basics plus professional TKD move. I was surprised that they do that in TKD, knee kick, it looked like more of a Muay Thai move.

I did volunteer to do the class schedule for the school.

Finally I was able to do game sharing in PSP, I borrowed Graha's PSP. We played tennis, as usual he lost when it comes to tennis, even in Wii. We also played Wii, he's getting better, he can beat me now in ping pong and billiards. As usual I always difficulty beating him in find the Mii. Guess because he has four eyes.

Clei is winking and so is Tito

See how Tito and Clei winks.

Clei is constipated

This morning Clei was constipated. Ten bought for her suppository. I thought she will have to go the clinic for check-up because she have not "poo poo" since last Sunday.

But in the afternoon she already did. Tita Lesty said it was lots of"poo poo".

Picture show with Clei's poo poo. I censored the "fefeysu".

Clei turned over by herself

This morning Ten told me Clei turned over all by herself no some sort of help form anybody. Lola Levy just turn away for a moment to get her clothes, when she came back, she turned over by herself. It was a slow and funny process for Clei according to Ten.

Last Monday Jay will help her, something like turn her sideways then the rest up to her.

Picture showing Lola Levy helping her with her favorite position, she also sometimes sleep like that. Reminded Ten that's not advisable for baby to sleep on that position.

Collected two tickets today. My air ticket to go back to Manila and ticket to see Roger Federer play on a exhibition match in KL. It's gonna be an exciting November for me. Home during the first and second week. Last week seeing the worlds greatest tennis player.

I was asked if I'm interested to see Nadal who will be playing 2 days ahead of Federer. Of course I am but the work schedule does not permit.

Nail cutter for Clei

Went to the mall last Wednesday to buy a nail cutter for Clei. Seen so many baby stuff and ended buying toothbrushes, thermometers and toothpaste.

Clei lights up the home in Sauyo. Everyone is awaiting when she's gonna wake up. She talks a lot, even on the phone. Ten will call from work and she will respond to the call. She also moves a lot. She's starting to turn over but still can't make it on her own. Lolo Boy loves to carry her while the two Lola's, Mat and Levy makes "gigil" on her. I don't the word for it in English. No se un palabra en Ingles.

Tita Lesty started to practice her duty for the home of the aged. Ten said she's got plenty of thermometers but the one I bought is meant for baby because the end/sensor is soft.

Adidas Uniform

Friday I did not go to the evening class because my lower body is aching for kicking.

Saturday, It was a big class this time. Hyun said the school is growing. Andre, I dunno his nationality partner with the Finnish Guy because they are about tall and big size. Raymond and Simon were present. Audrey the only lady again. She's a black belt but also always having issue tie the belt. Six students including myself. I thought I'm gonna be partner with Audrey but Hyun said I should be partner with Raymond because she can't control laughing when Simon and Raymond is partner. Audrey ended up partner with Simon.

I saw also the earlier with the three kids. It was fun seeing the kids learning the moves and running around.

Later these kids were watching our class. They said the adult class very noisy.

This time we were taught of the hand techniques and pattern after the kicking practice.

My New Uniform TWD

Hyun noticed my new taekwondo uniform. He said looks very professional.

Last Wednesday my sparring partner was Hyun. We have a new student Simon partner him with Raymond. It was totally fun while learning. Hyun and I was laughing when after finish our practice and look at them. I can't describe it but it was hilarious.

Thursday, Simon and Raymond did not come. I was happy to see another lady in the class. So far, it's only Audrey. Found out she was a medalist in the South East Asian Games from Malaysia. My partner this time again is Joe is from Indonesia.

Video blog test

my video blog

Clie went to the mall last Sunday

Last Sunday Clei went to the mall. I guess it's her first. She went shopping with Jay and Ten. She only slept for a while. She does not want to sleep in the stroller. Ten said she tends to observe and observe. They bought for her bathtub and baby carrier.

Today she's sleeping when I asked Ten how is she. Ten just called home to check on her. Nanay can't go to Baclaran because Tatay said he needs some help in case Clei throw tantrums.

Today ten changed her yahoo messenger picture to this one posted. Looks like she has a mole but she accidentally scratch her face.

The Alchemist

Started reading the book "The Alchemist" on my train ride going to Michelle's birthday party yesterday night. Continued on the way back home. At home still continued reading till I finished it. It is a good book. I borrowed it from Edison.

Just playing tennis on Wii because Alfredo is on business trip that means no tennis on Sunday nights. Sometimes I will play with Graha my Indonesian housemate. Surely I will beat him all the time in tennis, bowling, boxing, golf and baseball. That's why I like to play with him. When I play with Edison it's so difficult to beat him on Wii.

After finishing the book, I called Edison before going to sleep. But no answer from cellphone. Still bored, I made a frank call to Graha. He doesn't know my house number. With my japanese accent saying "Moshi moshi Graha san", he sounded so confuse replying he does not know any Japanese. Now it's nice to sleep after making fun of Graha.

@ 00:30 my phone rings, did not recognize the voice maybe because I just started sleeping and was interrupted suddenly. But when the party started to talk like a Korean saying how are you, I knew it's Edison. He saw his missed call and decided to call back before he sleeps.

Clei's #1 Fan

Today Clei will go to SM mall. I guess she's excited, it's baby's day out. She will go with Ten and Jay. Tita Lesty could not come because she's a having a make-up class.

Nanay(my mother) told me when Ten is @ work, when she calls she will put the phone near Clei and she will talk to her Mom over the phone. When she poos there's gonna be a lot.

She did have a fever for a short time last week because of the vaccine. Ten was upset because she bought the vaccine that will not after effect of fever. She said she will scold her pediatrician.

She's ok now and ready to go to the mall.

Taekwondo / Clei

It was my forth session on taekwondo, blood on my foot. One of the blackbelter noticed the blood on my left foot during our water break. I saw it, no big deal for me cause I really did not feel anything. If he did not point it, I will not knew about it. My Korean teacher Hyun, saw it when we resume. He touched my feet and said "Oh blood, I like it."



My partner this time is Joe from Indonesia, he's a red belt. There was one lady in the group her name is Audrey, black belter. Hyun reminded Joe that I'm white belter.



The picture showed the wounded finger with the band aid. And my nice uniform. Cool.



I called home today. My mother was very excited telling stories about Clei. On how she laughs and talks. She said she's getting difficult to take care. But I can feel the way she spoke to me, she's enjoying every minute of it.

Ten told me when it's Lolo Boy(my father) holding her. She will be just steady. Lolo Boy will just hold her no movement, no singing, she will just sleep.

Clei's 3rd day with Lola and Lolo's care

Ten said today Clei was difficult. She wants to be carried even she's sleeping. Lolo Boy is holding her even she's sleeping. If you put her down, she will be awake. Lola Levy said she's growing that's why her mood changes. Sometimes she's very easy, just sleeping all day. Sometimes difficult, awake most of the time. Take it from the mother who raised 6 kids.

Lola and Lolo took her to the doctor but no stock for her 3rd vaccine.

I used to take Anne for her routine vaccination when she was a baby with Mat (my grandmother).

Here's their picture Mat and Clei.

Baby Tip # 1 - Sing and Talk to your Baby often

Sing and talk to Clei often.

All of us knows about it. It just comes naturally for our family. Honey Grace composed a song called "I love you Cassey Lei R. Quiazon". Lyrics and title is the same, but I guess the melody is nice and the meaning very direct. Ten used to sing her "Bebekong", guess that's her original song for Clei. The title suggest like baby of King Kong, but I guess it means "My baby". The lyrics is also all bebekong. Repeat it again and again.

I did composed a song before for Anne called "Aribajuji". Sounds silly and don't know what it means but as far as I know when we sing it to her, she will go to sleep, laugh and smile. Again the title and lyrics is the same. It just repeats and repeats. ?Puedes repetir por favor?

No hope for this family to have a brilliant composer, I think. But who cares as long as the baby likes our song.

Bebekongs second day with Mom @ work.

She did not cry that much today when Ten is at work. Maybe she got used to it very fast. Muy rapido. Or she understand that Mommy has to earn a living. Kurt was her playmate yesterday and today it was Jade. When Ten left for work this morning, she told Clei not to give headache to Grandparents, maybe that's another reason she behaved.

I bought a magazine called "New Mom" it came with a free little clothes for baby. Of course it's for Clei and the Magazine is meant for Ten. Since she's my number one fan when it comes on reading this blog. I guess Lesty will read sometimes. Not sure if Oying reads it or just see pictures of Clei. Ten said she will let Tatay and Nanay reads it since they are the one's taking care of Clei when she's at work. Told her I'm gonna post baby tips on my blog. I guess I can post baby tips since I took care of Anne when she's a baby. Ah, Kurt have read my blog before. Or maybe look at his picture.

Clei's first day when Ten is back to work.

Clei was crying and crying when Ten went back to work after her maternity leave. Guess she's not used yet when her mother is away. But Ten will call home to check on her. Around nearly lunch time, she said she's sleeping now.

Hope she gets used to it sooner. There's a number of peolple that will look after her when Ten is working. Lola Levy and Lolo Boy is there plus Tita Lesty (when she's not in school).

She's turning 2 months old in 4 days.

Clei's hair is curly

I was happy to see Clei's picture today. Ten sent me two pictures and they are very cute. Her hair is longer and curly. Ten said we got the same hair. There are a few people in the family who got curly hair, myself, Honey Grace, Nanay(mother) and Clei.

She attended her first birthday but Ten said she just slept. Maybe she got dizzy, all the party people wanted to carry her. She was passed from one person to another. She got her picture taken with Jollibee.

Ten said nowadays, she does not sleep that long. She wants someone to talk to her. Sometimes they ran out of stories to tell her. She takes a bath regularly except Tue and Friday. Really don't know the reason but the elders said so. When she was still inside Ten's tummy, they won't let her eat eggplant.

Underwater digicam

My body still aching from taekwando. All my sparing partner are black belt and one red. My instructor is black belt form Korea.

I was able to talk to Clei over the phone. Ten is talking to her then she will respond. She's a Christian now. Baptized last Sept 16. She responds now and smile often. They are moving back to Sauyo because Ten is going back to work next week. I'm one of her Ninong. Lesty, Yen and Ken are the other Ninong and Ninang.

I got a new underwater digital camera.

Fui, fuiste, fue, fuimos, fuesties, fueron

It's getting difficult. This morning I attended my spanish class, we studied "preterito perfecto and indefinido". As usual Aida, mi simpatica maestra es siempre pacienciosa pero divertida. In english my pretty teacher is always patient and entertaining. She made us memorize the tenses for verb "ir". At first it was our homework for next week, but she never stopped till we memorize it during the 2 hour class. Now it's on my mind. Fui, fuiste, fue, fuimos, fuesteis, fueron. It was fun but difficult. I really find the verbs in Spanish difficult. Mi vocabulario en Espanol es bueno porque algunos palabaras es lo mismo/igual en Filipino y siempre escuchando musica latina. Pero en verbo, muy mal. My vocabulary in Spanish is good because some of the words is the same/equal in Filipino and I always listening to Spanish music. But when it comes to verbs, very bad.

When Tita lesty takes photo of Clei, for sure there will be one that I will like a lot. And this is one of them. Clei is smiling when Ten is talking to her.

Clei pot

Clei is about 5 kilos and started to use the pacifier I bought when she was still in Ten's tummy. Ten knows now how to give her a bath. She said she can manage. She's very still when in the water. She now makes a little sound when laughing/smiling. Ten has a video, maybe next time I can post it here.

For the past few days I keep myself busy or shall I say for being bored by playing wii. Nearing professional level in tennis, about 700+ points. 1000 point is all you need to be a pro. I'm quite good in playing tennis for real. In bowling I'm a pro easily, which in real I never played. Nunca. Got a silver in billiards which in real, i guess I suck. I'm playing tennis and watching the US open thru the internet while playing Enrique's' "ping pong song" in English and Spanish.

Also printed Ten's weeding pictures from my camera as requested by Tatay. He likes the photos from my camera rather than the professional photographers. Tried printing a shirt print-on. Printed my face and Clei's "kagat labi" pose. Now will look for a shirt that I can iron it.

Clei - is getting heavier

Tita Lesty said she's getting heavier while carrying her. She might not grow up anymore when carrying her. Seen her latest picture's from Honey's birthday last Fri. She looks like a girl now.

This is the second day I've been sleeping very late. Around 2 am, last Friday/Sat Edison and I slept around 2 am. Edwin came to the room and told us to sleep.

Today I woke up around 1 am because Weng called me. As always they are apologetic when they call because normally they will wake me up. But no big deal to me, always happy to receive their call. Weng just updated me about what's going on. Talk to Anne and Yen. I know how to strike up a good conversation about Anne, High School Musical. She loves to talk about it. Yen about HSM, so so. She told me, she will have a new glasses. I taught her eye sight improved, but sadly no. Also she said she failed her swimming lessons, but all of her classmates also. Weng talk about buying stuff from e-bay, wanting to have an ipod video, her school, work, the kids, teasing Joanne. Bing bought her mp3 player but gave it to Yen coz she wants an ipod. Bing wants to have psp. Also she talk about the home improvements. Carpet is gone, replaced by nice floor. They switch rooms with the kids. Anne and Yen is now occupying the masters bedroom. Anne said it's great while Yen thinks the other way, it's unfair to Weng and Bing. Yen is excited becoming a godmother to Clei. This is her first time.

Hope to see all of them next year in Toronto or Vancouver.

It's Sept - Lolo Boy and Clei

Went to see Edison yesterday. Have not seen him for long time, he went to the US for about a month. I bring along my Wii console because he wants to play my games. He does not have much games. Only the sports, play, resident evil and nfl. I got lots.

We played bowling with Edwin, I lost, Edison is tied with his father. We played speed for carbon, car racing and i won the first game. Second game I lost during the drift race. Edwin taught me how to play the golf.

We also played resident evil. But we have to stop by 9 pm because her mother Cora will watch the TFC channel. We just viewed his pictures from his vacation, too much pictures.

Remembered Tatay, he finally touched the wii remote. He played racing cars, I mean the cars cartoon game.

Maybe the next time, we will be playing with Clei. I already bought another console for them.

Clei says - Ahh!

I like this picture, as if she's saying Ahh! And holding up a fist. Something like she scored in a tennis game.

Or maybe she said "Tito, I'm gonna box you for taking and taking so many pictures of me. Whether, I'm sleeping, pooing, bathing, or crying.

She will be baptized on Sept 16, according to Ten. Aida, my Spanish teacher and I find a bit odd for some Singaporeans who call themselves Catholic/Christians but never been baptized. It's not that we look down on them, it's just strange. Maybe where we came from you'll be certified a Catholic/Christian after your baptism.

I came across a TV program that showed a China man. Not sure where in China, I just seen the ending part. But for sure I was touched by the work of this man, every weekend he will patrol the bridge where most people jump to kill themselves. He will try to save or persuade them not to commit suicide. He's not priest, just an ordinary poor family man in his 30's. For me, truly a work of a true Christian.

Clei is a month old

Now Clei is a moth old. Ahora, Clei es un mes anos.

I still miss her, though i'm settled after a week on vacation. Went back to my daily routine here, such as work and work. Trabajo, trabajo. During my off days back to my favorite activities, playing tennis and spanish lessons.

This is one of my favorite picture of her.

US open is just started yesterday. My favorite players Sharapova and Federer will be defending their titles. Roger is on to 2nd round. Maria will be playing later. Guess I'll be occupied watching tennis.

I paid about 200 SGD for tickets to see Federer in action in Kuala Lumpur on Novemeber 22. That's the closest I can get to see him play, thought I can go to Bangkok for Thailand Open in September, but he's not playing there. Or I can go to Melbourne to see him play and Sharapova in January 2008.

Bath Time for Bebe Kong

One thing Clei likes is having a bath. It's fun seeing her taking her bath, she loves it specially when she's on the water.

See Lola Levs is giving her a bath. She also have a number of audience seeing her enjoying her bath.

I remember when I was a kid, we used to go my lola's place in the province during summer. Normally when we took a bath in the open, mostly people from the rural folks were watching us taking our bath. Really, the banyo is open.

Clie will take her bath on the dining table.

Clei pot - raising her hands

It's been about 5 days when I left home. I miss Clei a lot.

I used to see her when I wake every morning. Some early mornings I will talk to her. Around 4 am, she's awake and I can her sound, baby talk. I will talk to her for awhile and after she's bored or hungry she's gonna cry. Then Ten will feed her.

When Ten is talking to her, she will ask, "Who's the one who wants milk? Raise your hands." Clei will raise her hands just like what you see in this picture.

Clei - goes ngek!

I like this photo, Clei looks like Jhay. Quiero esta ritrato, Clei como es Jhay.

Tomorrow I'm going home. Singing "home" by Michael Buble.

"Let me go home" as Michael sings it.

I have cleared my memory stick, I'm going to see her tomorrow afternoon.

I wanna take her photo myself. Lots of lots of it.

I wanna publish her photo when she just got out of Ten's tummy hotel.

But the fefeysu is showing, so I have some reservations.

Seen her thru the webcam while sleeping on the stroller.

Ten told me she will show me when Clei is checking out of her fefeysu. Taken by cellphone.

Cassey Lei es dormir / Cassey Lei is sleeping

I took this picture from Ten's yahoo messenger. She no longer paste her picture there, it's her babys picture instead.

Ella es en linea pero no respuesta. She's on line but no answer.

I changed my picture from my messenger when I was in Canada. It was Yen and Anne who advised to change it. Now it's an avatar in Mexican Mariachi costume.

Good thing Lesty is on-line. Her classes was cancelled because of storm.

Quiero dormio, siesta, pero no puedo por que trabajando hoy.

I want to sleep, afternoon nap, but not possible because I'm working now.

Sleeping beauty

It's nice to see her sleeping soundly. I was talking to Ten yesterday on-line. She said there's one thing in common between Tio and baby Cassey, we fart very loud. Sometimes she will get a shock when she farts.

She was being breast fed while talking to Ten. She's salvaje because sometimes she will bite.

My room is full of her stuff. Crib and so many toys from Rafa. I'm so excited to see her personally esta Domingo. !Tres dias mas!
