happy bday Dad!

Posted on October 12, 2011 by RJ

The 10th was my Dad’s birthday. He would have been 67.
Hope you can see Aiden growing up so fast. You would have had a lot of fun with him.
I wanted you to know that the other night, I always think of you as I sang in the karaoke — I know that you are singing with me like we always did. While I miss you terribly, I know you are still with me. I write this blog through tears of pain and sorrow, but also through tears of love and hope. I will always love you Dad, and that love will keep you alive in my heart.

Happy 4th of July!

Posted on July 7, 2011 by RJ

I know it’s a ‘lil late, but I was busy that day. Had a small cookout, invited a couple of friends and that’s it. Had some burgers, steak, pork bbq, kielbasa sausage, pork & beans, watermelon and chips. And since I don’t need to lose more weight, I had myself 3 sodas that day. I had me some vanilla coke, sierra mist and pepsi, and they all tasted great! lol Even though we had a lot of food, I really didn’t get to eat much. I had one burger for lunch and one burger for dinner. I was just really thirsty for some reason. I also drank 3 water bottles and a couple of yoohoos.

Anyway, we bought a “quick set” pool measuring 16ft x 42in, and let me tell ya, it was not as “easy as 1-2-3” like it says in the box. I laid it down on the ground and when you put water in it, it was suppose to rise up by itself, instead, it rose by a foot and stayed there. After a couple of hours of fixing the pool, finally got to rise up about 2 and we started jumping in. We put Aiden first and he loved it! He was walking and was trying to grab his toys and having fun. He was in there for at least an hour!

Happy Father’s Day!

This year’s Father’s Day is my second! I’m glad and proud to be a father, the hardest job, next to being a mom =), in the world! lol

I had a great dad who was always been a great example of the type of man I would want to be. He worked so hard to provide for our family with two jobs or sometimes three, but also made sure to make the time to spend with us too. Raising the three of us kids couldn’t have been easy, but I believe he did a wonderful job! I learned so much from him growing up!

Dad, we love you so much and we miss you so much. Wish you could have been here physically to see Aiden, how wonderful, smart and playful he is. You’d have fun playing with him! =) Happy Father’s Day Dad!

and to all the Dads out there, have fun on this day!

Aiden’s Bday Celebration

Posted on May 23, 2011 by RJ

Saturday, May 14th, 2011 was the celebration of our baby Aiden’s 1st Birthday. We were hoping for a good weather but instead, we had showers of rain all throughout the day. Other than that, the celebration was a pretty much a success. On behalf of my wife Alou, we would like to thank our great friend Nini for coming early that day to help us prepare and to the Velasquezes, Oscar, Grewlyn and Emily for coming early bringing the cakes and helping us with the last minute preparation as well. Alou did most of the cooking and here are the some of the pics:

Will post the other pics later!

Happy Mother’s Day!

Happy Mother’s Day to all the moms out there most especially to my Mom, my sister, and to my lovely wife Alou. To all my friends that are moms, enjoy this special day! Take this day to understand just how much you are appreciated, and indulge yourself. This is YOUR day!

As for me and Alou, this is the first we’re celebrating this special occasion and I must say that it has been a wonderful day, except the fact that she has to work in the afternoon. We went to Longhorn Steakhouse for lunch and I’ve bought some flowers online. I then surprised her at work when me and Aiden came to eat dinner with more flowers and a balloon that says, “Best Mom Hands Down”. She was totally surprised and I’m glad I made her happy!

Baby, I love you so much! Thanks for everything you’ve done for me, Aiden and Popoy. You truly are the best! mmmmmwahhhh!!!

Aiden’s Progress

Posted on April 10, 2011 by RJ

Aiden’s been a good boy. He doesn’t fuss a lot and he’s been a joy to us. And every 26th of the month, we celebrate his monthly bday… lol
It’s been fun watching him finally hold his own head up, rolling over, crawling, using toys and things to stand up, then standing up on his own, and feeding himself with the baby puffs. He hasn’t taken his first steps yet but I have a feeling it’ll be pretty soon. He’s almost 11 months, 10 months and 2 weeks to be exact and we can’t wait for him to be walking. He’s very fond of Popoy and they always play and bully each other. If we let Aiden crawl on the floor, Popoy licks him all over. But when Aiden is on the walker, he traps Popoy and corners him in the kitchen. Lol
Here are some of Aiden’s pics:
From 2 months to 9 months

Aiden is 1 month!

Check out Aiden’s pics when he was 1 month old! We take Aiden’s pics almost everyday and it’s been wonderful how he becomes more and more lookin’ like me! lol
Well, that’s what other people say but I say he looks more like Alona… =)

Romulo Aiden Co Malacas III

Posted on April 2, 2011 by RJ

Sorry for the long absence of posting – many things have happened of course and lots of stories to tell and now that I’m back, I intend to keep this up. The most incomparable experience is when my baby was born on May 26th, 2010. We named him Romulo Aiden Co Malacas III, named after my father. He is so adorable and taking care of him is the best feeling in the whole wide world. Don’t get me wrong, it’s tough and it’s quite exhausting having to do everything, just me and my wife Alona for the first two weeks, and was by far the hardest job in the world. We were worried about every little thing. But no matter how tough it felt at the time, somehow we managed to push through it. Just to see Aiden smile was all worth it… and luckily, Alona’s parents came and stayed with us for 6 months!

It’s been a while…

Posted on July 2, 2010 by RJ

So it’s been a while since I’ve written here on my blog. You know, the usual, busy with work, dealing with stuff but I will try my best to update my blog more often. Last time I was here was on Father’s Day of last year, and there’s a bunch of things that went on before and after, so here it goes…

First, we moved to a new and safer place. After months of trying to have a baby, my wife and I have decided to move out from the city life to an urban life. It’s not where the farms are, but it’s far from the noisy neighbors, far from the sounds of the ambulance or police cars, and far from all the stress the city offers. The only downside of us moving is now we have to travel 15-20 minutes to go to work, as oppose to a 3-minute walk.

Anyway, the house has 4 bedrooms, 2.5 baths, and is near the shipping mall, near the main highways and has a great neighborhood. We have a big yard, so Popoy is can run around like crazy.

Here are some pics of the yard…

Happy Father’s Day

Last Sunday was Father’s Day. I didn’t get to use the internet the whole day because I got busy. We celebrated Father’s Day with Ava’s Baptism. Lots of food, playing basketball, some dancing, poker, and chit-chatting. My family invited lots of people, but surprisingly only a few came. Even my friends didn’t get to come (they had their own celebration). Here are some of the pics from the Baptism:

So to all the Dads, Papas, and Daddys out there, hope you had fun on your day. And to my Dad, HAPPY FATHER’S DAY! We love you, and we miss you…
