may, june, july updates...
ok, so the last entry was last may when we went to LA for my kuya tim & ate claire's wedding. haaay, super tagal na talaga and i dunno where & how to start all the kwentos!
memorial day weekend (may 28, 29, 30)
we left the house saturday the 28th and drove to fresno to chop & maia's house. chop is randy's ka-batchmate in ateneo. we were so late and when we got there everyone was already outside waiting to go to church. tapos we went na to Kings River for camping & white river rafting the following day. it was my (& randy's) first camping trip. sobrang fun kasi reunion nila randy yun and i get to meet them & the wives. we spent the night there tapos the following morning (the 29th), they went rafting na. i was left at the campsite with phil, who was advised by his doctor not to go & nel, a fremont cop, who have had a lot of rafting escapades na. i didn't go kasi it's only been 5 months (at that time) since my kidney transplant.
naku, good thing i didn't go rafting! randy's boat tipped (actually nagparang "L" yung boat kasi super plunge yung nangyari) and 4 of them were thrown off the boat. 1 almost got thrown, while 1 was left alone on the boat. randy was the last one to surface and unfortunately, hit his head on a rock underwater. one had a busted lip. luckily this happened near the campsite and patapos na yung rafting trip nila. we packed our stuff and chop drove randy, kiko (busted lip) & i to the ER. i was sooooooooooooooo worried to death! you could imagine the feeling, being the hypertensive that i am pa! he had a head ct scan and it was a minor concusion. i was asked by the doctor to wake him from his sleep every hour that night and watch for any seizures. we stayed at chop's house and went home the following day, the 30th).
Michelle's baby shower
June 5, we threw a surprise baby shower for Michelle & Felix at the Macaroni Grille in Dublin. I made the favors, of course, because i love doing them! This is their 2nd baby na. Joshua Theodore is their panganay.

Randy's aunt passed way
Auntie Baby (Giselda Aganon) battled lung cancer and died at the age of 77 last june 17th. she was randy's mom's oldest sister (mama is the youngest at 64). she was going to be one of our ninang pa naman sa wedding, but i'm glad she's up there where there's no more pain, just peace.
she's actually a very funny lady. i have only met her recently but it was a great pleasure. she likes to eat a lot (she love food and yet so skinny, i'm jealous!). she tells us, "wag kayong magulo, kumain lang kayo jan, maraming pagkain!"...she walks fast at 77 ha!...she is very religious and goes to quiapo to visit the poong nazareno...she loves the poor so much...she loves her family...no wonder she wasn't afraid of death.
i'm glad i was able to cook for her too! during the time when she was already sick but is able to eat pa, i brought her baked boneless bangus, which she loved! i truly miss her.
juan & emily's wedding
juan miguel (or john boy) as we call him, is paulo's (my youngest sister, maecy's boyfriend) brother. magulo ba? basta he is Tito Abel's (one of our principal sponsors) eldest son. last june 25th, him & emily got married in mill valley, california. it was a very intimate wedding, with a garden ceremony (emily's wish) and an indoor reception. emily is white...and is actually taller that johnboy, but it didn't matter. they looked perfect for each other! emily wore a pina gown and johnboy, barong tagalog of course.
randy was able to wear his pina barong tagalog! hahahahaha! sobrang pinakamimithi nya yan! he looked so handsome & dignified. i love you honey! i just wore a black dress with an apple green wrap and matching strappy sandals. mom & dad were there of course. my baby sister maecy was there with paulo (best man & baby brother of johnboy). my sister next to me, micah wasn't able to make it because of work.
Welcome Chelsea Carolyn Aquino Antero
Ang galing ni Felix & Michelle! as in exact due date talaga when Chelsea was born, June 29th. Congratulations parents& kuya josh... & welcome Chelsea! incidentally, i was asked to cater the baptism on Sept. 11th.
Ateneo Alumni Assoc (in the Bay Area) Summer Picnic
Last July 2nd, we went to Santa Clara University for the picnic. well, we were late as usual kasi mainit. hahaha! Randy & i were assigned to bring the famous Inihaw ni Randy...it's grilled pork, actually. but since i marinated the pork the night before, and Randy let's me because I know he knows i do it better (ehermmm), it's now called Inihaw ni Edrei! with matching suka pa yan as sawsawan ha!
we picked up mama (randy's mom sa SFO airport) who came from manila for the funeral/burial of auntie baby's remains in loyola. yahoo, i finally got my metro weddings from my high school bestfriend & one of my bridesmaids na si Cha! (thanks Cha!)
Since then, i've been having this pain on my left leg. doctor from the transplant cinic said it's tendinitis. argghhh! told me to take advil but i'm allergic to ibuprofen, so he gave me another pain meds kasi i don't want vicodin. ang sakit talaga. on friday the 12th, i'll see my primary care physician. sana mawala na ito. in the mean time, i'm taking my meds & put hot&cold patch to relieve the pain. btw, i'm using crutches so i won't strain my leg, but i feel embarassed so d2 lang sa house, paglumalabas kami...i limp. how pathetic. tsk tsk tsk.
