I'm Back

I'm back and I'm here to share the idyllic tales of Ta-To-Ti.  

Happy Tato
March and April are quite busy months for me, as my two cubs celebrate their birthdays on these months aside from other celebrants such as my father, youngest sister, my mother-in-law and eldest sister-law. I’m a working away from home mom and my 9-6 is loaded but I’m still ecstatic in planning events.  

Last March, our eldest Tato requested for a pool party on his birthday, since it was his fifth, we decided to grant his request and headed off to a private pool in Laguna. He enjoyed the pool adorned with colorful balloon and floaters. The party was a hit with videoke for the young at hearts and unlimited swimming for the young ones.

April came and Toti also had a blast on his birthday held at the Lachica’s den. Children played pabitin, basagang palayok and musical chair among others. It was also warm celebration of my mother-in-law’s birthday and thanksgiving for my youngest sister-in-law's first wedding anniversary.

Here are three basic things I’ve learned over the years:

1. Plan ahead. Planning your finances, possible guests list and programs, if any could really do wonders.
2. Work on Limitations. Yes, you may have limited resources but this is when a creative hand and resourceful mind works the best.Its never  a harm to have do-it-yourself decorations.
3. Just enjoy the moment. It’s your event, so avoid stress and just enjoy the moment. Be there for the guests but most especially for the kids.

September was declared such under Proclamation No.675 signed on 20 July 2004 by then President Gloria Macapaga-Arroyo. The Presidential Proclamation was issued to "instill greater consciousness and undertanding among the Filipino people on the comprehensive peace process to strengthen and sustain institutional and popular support for and participation in this effort, as well as in the global movement spearheaded by the United Nations to promote a Culture of peace based on nonviolence, respect for fundamental rights and freedoms, tolerance, understanding and solidarity. " September was chosen because several peace-building milestones happened during this month, like the signing of the 1996 Peace Agreement between the government and the MNLF on 2 September 1996, and the UN Declaration of 21 September as International Day of Peace.

"Ta To or Ti?"

If you have noticed or if you haven't, our family's nom de guerre all starts with the letter "T". I think fate played on us when Toto met Tata, and so to make things more fun, we decided to call our first born "Tato", "Ta" from Tata and "-to" from Toto. When Toti came we did a little tweaking by adding "-ti" pero cute pa din naman. I remember one of our beautiful Ninang candidly suggested that we should stop giving nicknames to are kids starting with the letter "T", paano daw pag-naubos na ang mga letra and we'll end up with a baby nicknamed "Titi". It was well meant and taken, hopefully we will not arrived at that scenario :) So now that we have our third baby coming I am starting to think of a nickname, would the baby be a "Ta", a "To" or a "Ti"? In a few months we will know and so I would just have to continue on choosing baby names :) In the meantime, I just would li
