Little Mao celebrates his 1st year of LIFE!
I had 15 days to come up with the best FIRST birthday party for my Little Mao. Although at 6 months of age, I already knew what kinda party to throw. My Mikko loves Sesame Street to my delight because I grew up with the characters so I already envisioned the kind of birthday event we will be having. I didn’t want to splurge so much and stay practical so I made a 10K budget to make my SESAME STREET party happen.
Now I have this idea that in order to get things done I must make invitations first and give them early on for my motivation. To save $, I made, designed and printed the invitations myself.
Then I got T-shirts for *ALL* of us…
Everybody happy? That’s right!
Along with other printed materials like the party banners and banderitas, I also made the goodie bag tags, play money for use to buy food (just for fun!), gift certificates as prizes for the party games (such as the classic Filipino “pabitin" and break the pot), and props for the photobooth.
And to add more color to the party, we set up a NAIL COLOR “booth" so everyone else can get colorful nails like I did. Kikayness. A sure treat for the yayas and the moms.
Along with the super fun photobooth by SALA Lounge + Café (ahem!) and nail color areas, we rented a local cotton candy machine maker, put up a hotdog/marshmallow table, and bought 6 gallons of delicious local Batangueño (dirty) ice cream. It’s not dirty per se but that’s what it’s called and we kids here in Ormoc City grew up eating this awesome cheap local treat.
The cake & cupcakes were given as a gift from Ninang Ishshah Franco-Kangleon of Buttercup Boutique & Novelty Shop, my pretty sis-in-law and made by Julina Larrazabal-Algarra. The balloons and tables were from This & That, the premier gift shop here in town. Paid for as a gift from Mikko’s great grandparents. :P Aren’t we lucky? Hehe. We were also blessed by generous sponsors for the food prepared. Also we are fortunate to have people working and volunteering to get the party going. Shout outs to Yaya Mila, Tatay Bobby, Mianne, Liny, Melinda, Diday, Dorothy, Diane, Anrie, Yaya Maricel, Yayo Marjun as well as our cousins, friends, and neighbors Cecil, Rae Ann, Tita Agnes, Celsa, Tita Baday for all your help.
We thanked the Lord above for the gift of life before celebrating Mikko’s birthday even though he kept crying and screaming at church either because he got hungry or it was too hot. (Better than a rainy day, right?)
Okay, I think the rest of these photos below should speak for themselves.
It was indeed a truly remarkable and unforgettable birthday party that I hope Mikko will appreciate when he’s older and sees the photos we’ve taken to remind us all of the fun we had celebrating his FIRST birthday party. It was tiring really but it was all worth it. Anything for our baby boy.
We love you, Little Mao. Wishing you many more happy years ahead!

Time flies so fast especially when you’re having fun! Raising this little angel has its challenges. Until now, I still don’t get a good night’s sleep as he is still breastfeeding. But by the looks of it, after 11 months, this little boy is getting all the benefits he can from drinking breastmilk. One healthy, happy kid is he! It’s been one amazing ride with you, Little Mao… and in the coming years, I’m sure we’re going to have a blast! Don’t grow up to fast… But even if you do, you’ll always be my little baby boinky. ;)

mikKOMIKs #1: Mikko & Mackenzie "Together Again"
So I’ve decided to create a series of comics for Little Mao. I’m calling it "mikKOMIKs" and it will be featuring Mikko and his friends. I do enjoy creating stories and what better way to tell it than comics! Hopefully a few years from now when Little Mao knows how to read, he’s gonna love viewing them.
But first let me introduce Mackenzie. Cathy gave birth to him a month before Mikko was born. We had almost the same due date but poor Mackenzie was born premature due to some complications in Cathy’s pregnancy. Nevertheless, he’s also quite the bouncing baby boy. Photo below was taken after Mikko’s Christening in September 2011.
Starring Mikko and Mackenzie… 9 months later. Mikko is now 10 months old and Mackenzie is 11 months old.
Bromance? Nahhh… hopefully these boys will also have each other’s backs like us (The Barks) and become really good friends like Cathy, PM (the dad), NoodleBoy, and me.
Til the next comic! Stay tuned…

Our Young Family: Noodle Boy + Ramen Girl = NoodleLito
Today we decided to have our picture taken. It’s been a while (6 months I think) since we had a sort of a formal photo. I put on a Zara blouse and dressed up my little NoodleLito with an Old Navy jeans and a Cradle Togs shirt, both for 18-month-old boys. Apparently, our little 10-month-old is not so little anymore.
This was really an impromptu photo shoot but not bad, right?
