The Baby Wanderlust and Team Gastritis' Newest Espresso Shot

Just 5 months and kung saan saan na gumala si bb - Coffee shops and staycations. Same na same lang nung nasa tummy pa ng Mommy.

1. Cafe Beam, Baliuag, February 


Nagulat na lang ang lola Nancy nung nakabalik na kami sa bahay. Tumakas ang bb at nag quick cocol with Mommy and Daddy. 
Natakam kasi ko sa mga pastries na nakita ko sa Instagram, at ang aesthetics, super peg. Sarap sana tumambay, pero nag take away lang kami. 
Gusto ko sana picture-an every corner ng cafe coz soooo pretty, but hawak ko ang bb, and priorities have shifted. 

2. Calasiao Pangasinan, February 

Dito nya cinelebrate ang kanyang 2nd Month. Free statcation from kuya Toby because ika 13th Anniversary ng parents. Buti na lang masipag mag drive ninong Arjen, coz galing pa sya Cavite, while kami 2 hours away lang. He had to pick up Team Condo then meet us at NLEX.

2.a Starbucks at Petron Lakeshore  



Fortunately, nagka problem sila sa POS kaya stop muna dine-in, but since nasa loob na sila kuya Toby, pinapasok pa rin kami ni kuya guard. So halos walang tao sa loob.  

2.b Monarch Hotel, Calasiao Pangasinan




First Staycation Experience! Ganito lang ang madaling lakad coz babies nap every few hours; around this time madali pa patulugin si Nikolai. Oh so much has changed over the course of few months.

After our late lunch and afternoon nap ng bb, we made silip to Tondalingan Beach in Dagupan, which was only 30 minutes away from the hotel. 



3. Pico de Loro, Nasugbu Batangas, March

Just a week after, pack na naman ng bags for family staycation. Treat ni Papa for family while here in Pinas.  
This also marks the first night na nag sleep sya for 5 hours without waking to feed. 




4. Calamba, Laguna March

Lolo's Birthday Pool Party in Pansol. This is the first gathering of the family after Mommy's passing. Nakakalungkot, but we try to cope.  




Nikolai didnt swim here nor sa Pico. Medyo praning pa ko. What's important is he gets to spend quality time with family. Kahit sa tunay na buhay asleep sya 80% of the time.

5. Tagaytay + Silang, April  

The Not April's Fool Wedding of Dude and Master
After 13 years of being together, they finally tied the knot. We had late lunch that was supposed to be a brunch at Antonio's and then head back to Farm Hills Garden to stay for the night. We had cake and wine.
It was the Moscato thats been sitting in our fridge for a verrrryyy long time.  



Look at this cake I had made for them. Nag send ng peg si Claude, and Danica's cousin made it. Sobrang sarap! Ang layo lang ni Dan's cousin, kaya di ako maka order ulet.


6. Pico de Loro (again, this time with the Mombies)

6.a But first, coffee -- Starbucks, Westgate Alabang
Medyo nasayang ang oras namin coz it was sooooo hard to book Grabcar from Mina's house. Ending sinundo na lang sila ni Doe.

ps, not suitable to change nappy in their CR. 1 star rating.
How did I know? Someone's baby needed poopy nappy change

6.b Wais na Misis' Condo unit at Pico de Loro
Sinipag din si Doe mag search, halos wala na kasi kami ma-book. Snwerte lang that this unit was newly posted on AirBnb at available pa sa dates namin. 


Nag swim sila ate Riley and ate Zoe nung gabi. Hindi na kami nakapag sunset+beach, but had a quick pictorial in the morning before it got too hot outside.
Hindi pa sulit pictorial with Nikolai coz bawal pa sya mag stay sa arawan nang matagal, but ganda mga shots nila Doe and Mina.




7. Manila Memorial Park, Dasmariñas
I can't write without being too emotional, so a single picture na lang muna.


8. The Crossing Café, Bacoor, Cavite



Dinalaw kami ni Kiko here in Cavite. Okay na sana kaso nung lumabas ako, pinanood nya ng Cocomelon si Nikolai. Ang tawag na ni Ali sa kanya, si tito Kikomelon lol.
Babies are chic magnet, while umoorder sila Ali and Kiko, a lady started talking to me and Nikolai. She claimed na bb was staring at her as she was walking toward the direction of our table. 
She asked bb's age kasi daw wala sya clue as she doesn't have a baby yet, but hopefully daw, in God's time.
She has gone to her table nung pagdating nila Ali.
Missed opportunity tito Kikomelon, you should've talked to her!
