Born on the 6th of July

The Queenbee celebrated her birthday last July 6th. We could've enjoyed it somewhere outside of Manila but the erratic weather didn't permit our plans to push through. Instead we settled for our family's second love - food!

Can you properly see the BEAUTIFUL details of the phone?

It's Ferrari my love! <3

Also, last July 6th, we welcomed in our growing Valle family the arrival of my 4th first cousin, baby Ezra Milana Valle.
 "Name: Ezra Milana Garaygay Valle
(Ezra - one of the great prophets in the Old Testament)
(Milana - from Epok's most favorite soccer team AC Milan in Italy) 

Let me begin Ezra's story on how she came about but of course I'll not go into THAT detail if you know what I mean. (wink!) When I got pregnant, the questions often asked were: "Was it planned?" and "Why so soon?" Well, YES because Epok and I really wanted to have a third child (it was part of our family planning) and too soon because I did not want to wait long enough again to start all over again. The window month we planned to conceive was from October to January, that way we were still going to have either a summer or a fall baby - and we did!" - excerpt from my Tita Cay Valle's facebook account

You guys should see my first cousins from my mother side, they all share one common physical attribute: aside from having the mestiza complexion, they have curly hair! My dad's blood run deep deep deep in me, so don't bother looking for Valle's resemblance in me. I'm a proud daddy-look-alike, if you must know. Haha!

Help my cousin!

I have a favor to ask everyone of you! My cousin Caoume Valle has been chosen as one of the candidates to becoming Kid of the Year. So if you could just please vote for her in this link. Click on the 'Vote for Me' tab then just copy whatever is written in the box provided. Thank you very much!

I can't believe that I'm really old!

It felt so good after seeing pictures of my little cousin in her baptismal gown. If you could remember how I patiently helped in decorating her gown, I guess you might want to see how it actually looked on Alex. 

Baby Alex and her dad, my Tito Jun

And as her dad says, she was the prettiest baby girl who got baptized that day

On a similar note, let me also take this opportunity to greet her and my other 2 little first cousins a happy holiday.

Caoume and Elijah

I can't wait to see them on summer!
