Engagement Photos

Location: Picasso Boutique Residences, Makati City
Photographer: JR Salonga - Rule of Thirds
HMU: FroilanErik Artistry

Three months before the wedding, Lester and I together with JR and Nilo, did our Engagement shoot in Picasso Boutique Residences. The only requirement we had in mind was the gym.

Yes, love story started getting fit but long before they met, these two people have connection. Way back in college, they had the same school, the same course, same set of professors, and common friends but never knew each other.. But even before they grew up as a kid, they already had something in common - birth dates! Who would've thought that two persons, born exactly one year apart will end up together forever? Only, Him. :)

However, feeding bottles made me stressed out because of my fear of nipple confusion and thus might result to less milk production. My husband and I agreed to cup feed Sofia when she turns 6 months. During weekends few weeks before she turned 6 months, I practice her to drink from a cup. It wasn't easy at all- we had a lot of spills!

Until we observed she dropped bottles little by little from 5 to 4 to 3 bottles a day. A few weeks before turning nine months, Sofia weaned herself drinking from feeding bottles. They tried offering her bottles ...

The Search for the Right Pedia

As new parents, Lester and I wanted the best for Sofia and during her first year, the best that we can provide to her is the best pediatrician who will not only care for Sofia’s health but also guide us, new parents. There was only one thing in my mind that I require for a pediatrician – a true breastfeeding advocate. Not because it’s “in” and because all moms look for them but because they are passionate about this advocacy. We’ve tried four pediatricians but we stayed for a few months (or even days or weeks) with some of them and lasted to our fourth one. Let me tell you why: First Pedia: I’ve probably named her already in some of my blogs after I delivered Sofia. She was an advocate. She taught me how to breastfeed and never recommended giving formula. We got Sofia’s shots from her and her style was more on “let me know how parenthood went” and then after that, she’ll give advice. We “clicked” because she was almost of the same age as ours (a schoolmate of mine, some years o...
