We celebrated Rhian’s 8th Month at Berjaya Hotel, staycation ang peg namin. Medyo sosyal ng unti this time, mukhang may nakuhang bonus nanay ko eh. Yes! You read it right, my mom decided to celebrate it sa hotel and sya daw ang magbabayad. Wohoooo… (Btw, Berjaya Hotel is sister company of Friendster where I work now, so may 50% discount kami.) So if you want to try Berjaya Hotel, just let me know ha para ma avail nyo yung discount.. ^_^

At first, parang hesitant kami ituloy since a day before our schedule staycation super lakas ng ulan (Bagyong Mario) at baha sa lugar namin. And we don’t want to risk na ilabas si Rhian at baka magkasit, but God is so good the following day umaraw na kaya tuloy ang staycation. Wooohooo…. Fast forward.. I called Berjaya Hotel a week before September 20 and avail my privilege as Friendster employee; we booked for deluxe room with two single beds since marami kaming matutulog sa kwarto.  We arrived at Berjaya Hotel around 2pm and prepare our things for early dinner.

While waiting for others to come, we opted to take mini photoshoot. Alam nyo naman ang pamilya Villareal, walang kahili hilig sa picture. Hehe.

Rhian's favorite thing to do pag nasa kama kami, gawin akong hawakan para makatayo sya. Oh Baby Love! You are so big na talaga.. Please don't grow up so fast!

And since nagtitipid kaming mag asawa (preparing for our little girl’s big day), we decided na magbaon nalang ng mga kakainin instead na lumabas pa kami for merienda, dinner and breakfast. My mom as usual prepared spaghetti for her favorite apo, she also cooked Pork Giniling and Chicken Spread while my Dad cooked Kamoteng Kahoy (Ian’s all-time favorite). My husband bought 2 orders of Chicken at Andoks and of course mawawala ba yung monthly cake, syempre hindi. This time we decided to try cakes from Red Ribbon – Their own version of Rocky Road cake.

That night, we let Rhian do whatever she wants. Hinayaan namin sya na pag laruan yung cake and tikman, although pinipigilan ko baka naman kasi sumobra but I'm happy because she discovered something new. Good Job Baby!


My mom is sooooo generous, can you believe na nagpaagaw pa sya ng coins pampa swerte daw, e usually ginagawa lang namin yung during Christmas and New Year. But for the sake na masaya ang celebration, she did it for the first time. Woohoooo… In fairness, naka Php 130 ako.. Hehe.


After our mini program, we decided to sleep early but our little girl wants to play pa kaya habang naglalaro ang bagets namin (together with her DaddyLo), my husband and I spent quality time together by watching “She’s Dating A Gangster” on his laptop. Yes! Kami na ang huli, hindi pa namin napapanood yun. Hehe.

The following day, my family opted to swim and enjoy the rest of the day at the pool. Ayaw kong mag swimming kasi super duper to the highest level ang lamig ng tubig, look at our daughter’s face halatang irritable kasi ang lami ng tubig so I told my husband na 5 minutes lang si Rhian sa pool and sa bath tub nalang sya mag laro..



We left the hotel by 12noon and continue our celebration at Glorietta. Umuwi na parents ko since they want to sleep more pa, e kami pinili namin mag simba sa The Landmark Chapel to thank God for everything and all the blessings we received. We had our late lunch at Kenny Rogers, stroll around Glorietta and SM and finally merienda at Mochi Cream Café. Yummy! (will post my review about this resto soon)

We arrived at home by 10pm and can you believe it, bagsak kaming lahat sa kama dahil sa pagod especially our daughter. Now, looking forward for our next month celebration. Malamang sa bahay ulit, tipid mode as usual in preparation for her BIG DAY.

We celebrated Rhian’s 7th Month last August 20 and like her other monthly celebration, it’s so simple. When I gave birth, my mom promised to cook every month for Rhian, panata daw nya yun hanggang mag 1 year apo nya. This month she decided to prepare Pancit Bihon, while I cooked Menudo and Crispy Pata. Perks of being a purchaser, marami suppliers ang nanliligaw sayo para sa kanila ka kumuha and so sakto when one of my suppliers came in our office and tadan may pizza’s na from Greenwich. Wow! Thank you!


Our monthly celebration will not be complete without the cake, so this time my husband opted to order Toblerone Overload from Cake2GO. Hhhhmmm.. Super sarap nya promise!


For the first time, my eldest sister joined us to celebrate Rhian’s 7th month, bihira kasi namin sya makasama since super busy sya sa work.

Look at our baby girl, she’s so excited to taste her cake. Hayz Rhian, di ka pa pwede kumain nyan, tikim pwede pa. Hihi #pasawaynananay

Hala anak, bakit tinumba mo yung card. Ikaw talaga.. ^_^
Look at that Smile! Nakakaloka!


Syempre, pwede bang mawawala ba yung picture taking?! Of course not!

After our mini celebration, I realized how time flies so fast. Parang kelan lang super liit lang nya and halos takot kaming hawakan sya but now look at her, a big baby girl na. Rhian is 100% Breastfeed Baby and I’m proud to say that she’s healthy and super kulit.

Happy 7th Month Baby Love ♥


Now, looking forward to celebrate her big day on January and can you believe na ngayon palang pinaghahandaan na namin yun. I guess ganon talaga pag 1st baby mo, mixed emotions, happy, excited, worried basta parang di mo maintindihan. Hehe. So readers, can you help me or give me any ideas kung pano ba mag plan ng birthday party, for me mas mahirap pa palang mag plan/organize ng birthday party ng anak ko kesa sa kasal namin. Hihi.
