Nice to be back!

Well it's been weeks now since we've been back here in Manila. It's good to be able to catch up with the things to do back here.

Our trip to Naga was...hmmm, how should I put this? It was definitely not a vacation trip. Well first off, we went home to bury a beloved uncle. And although the family has accepted his death, still it was sad that he has finally left us. Also, I was at first stressed out by Eya's reaction to the people there. She was not used to having a lot of people in one place. Well, maybe the booming voices and the different language confused her. It took weeks for her to be able to adjust to my parents and siblings! I was really glad when she finally got used to all of them. At least they were able to bond before we left for Manila.

Two good things out of our trip to Naga: my family got to bond with Eya and Eya celebrated her 2nd birthday in Naga.

I was happy to be with family. We gave Eya a simple b-day party and she loved the balloons and the presence of counsins and playmates. I just wished she did not get constipated on that day, of all days!!!

And as I'm writing this, I can't believe that Christmas is again nearing and I've barely started gift hunting!
