Charmed Life of a Mrs

Celebrated Jiona’s Christening today at Liverpool. Gary and Yyoni are one of the happiest parents today because Jiona is officially a Christian.

Jiona is soooooo cute!!!! The Uncles and Aunties (Titos and Titas) were given a chance to have a photograph with the baby after the Christening at the church. Here’s ours with baby Jiona:

All the barkada was there and we all enjoyed catching up and making fun of each other at the reception. It was Buffet style til 2:00PM so we really stuffed ourselves up from starters to dessert.

One of the best part of the event was when Yyoni handed the souvenirs out…

It was magnets saying “Thank you” and it had the photo of the Lejarde family. I was soooo happy to see the photograph I took of them during Jiona’s first photoshoot. Yay, yay, yay!!!!

Chris was like “Are you sure???” Hahaha. He was playfully acting like he’s jealous. And I was like “Nah!!! I took that one and you know it!” Hehehe. When we got home, we checked the properties of the photo and it indicated that it was taken with a 400D…humirit ba naman si husband na “Didn’t we exchanged cameras at that time?”….and we were laughing so hard. My husband really likes to tease me. Anyway, when it comes to photography, we are passionate, competitive (we challenge each other), generous (he is my mentor and he’s really very helpful), critical of each other’s works and no matter what happens we are a team, so whatever photo gets picked for whatever, we’re both happy. Over-all, it’s OURS.

Anyway, we ended up going home early (was planning to go to the city for the Aroma Festival) but I had a very bad runny nose. I hope I feel better tomorrow.

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend!

I’ve been reading this forwarded email (from my friend Gary) again and again the whole morning and it’s just too good not to share:
A young couple committed to each other often finds marriage to be a lot of work. The first few years are a time of adjustment and compromise, a time to settle the basic issues. Then you may decide to have children, with all the work entails. As your family grows, so do your bills and your work harder and longer.
Don’t let all the issues and the children and the stress destroy the joy that comes with marriage. Never be too busy to enjoy quiet times with your spouse, to laugh or play like the children you once were together. Keep your relationship young and happy. In time, your children will grow up and leave, and once again it will be just the two of you. Will you find that you and your spouse are strangers, or will you greet that time of your life with joy? It all depends on what you do now.
“Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest. ” Ecclesiastes 9:9
Prayer: Father, remind us how to play and how to enjoy being with each other. Help us remain best friends and lovers throughout our lives.

One happy camper…

Asaran with the use of Ipod Touch…

Chris started it so I had to retaliate (hehehe)…

Chris tries the Apple TV…

While I got amused with the design of their staircase…

And so I asked for another photograph on the stairs…

While Chris got amused with the gadgets inside the Apple Store, I, on the other hand, got amused by the store’s interiors. Wow pare, anlabo ko talaga! 😛 Although Chris tried his best explaining which is which and each gadget’s features, my attention span was very short. But I did love the iMovie of the MacPro and I look forward to having an iPhone, that’s about it for me (in terms of interest for Apple products)…for now. Siguro konti pang brainwashing ni husband before I can have the same interest as his.
