In Pajamas!
Dubai Trip
My small family went to Dubai yesterday to do a little mall-hopping! Nice day!

Check this picture out! I’m sure you all know that it’s Inigo on the last frame. But can you guess who are on the first two pics? That’s me and my wife! You can see from our son the traits that he got from us. Life is such a miracle!
Vacation at Last!
Today is the start of my 3-week holiday! I am so happy coz I badly needed this break to unwind after all that’s happening in my work area. I need to chill out a bit, to get my concentration back. Nurses who work in a very stressful work environment like mine should really get long breaks once in a while to keep their sanity intact. I think I deserve one at this point in time.
Before, I usually fly home to the Philippines to spend a long vacation there. But since my wife and baby are here already, I am not doing that anymore and instead I am taking a local leave. There are not much plans to go around the place, but just to probably visit a couple of malls and shops. It is still too hot to spend the time outdoors and we’ll probably wait until the end of summer before we start visiting zoos, and parks.
Here’s my plan for the next three weeks:
1. Spend more time at home just chillin’ out, relaxing, and sleeping 
This is also an opportunity for me to be with my family more. I’ll also try to do a lot of cleaning and probably housekeeping of my paperworks.
2. Arrange some stuff related to my family’s stay here e.g. opening files in the clinic for my wife and baby, obtaining their insurance cards, applying for their local recreation IDs, and the national UAE ID system.
3. Visit the malls which I like my wife and baby to see e.g. Bawadi Mall, Deira City Center, IKEA, Festival Mall etc.
4. Check out flats we could rent so we could transfer soon.
5. Go back to the gym! I have been saying this for the last two months, but because I was always too tired from work, I didn’t get the extra energy to continue working out.
So it’s recharging time now! If you need an on-call… I am not here! Hehe!
Happy 1st Birthday, Inigo!
Inigo turned one year old! How time flies!
I just want to extend my sincerest gratitude to my friends who helped me organize my son’s birthday party last 19th. I couldn’t have done it without you guys.
Check out pictures from the birthday party in INIGO’s BLOG and INIGO’s FRIENDSTER ACCOUNT.
A Tribute to a Mother
My dearest Honey,
I may never be on this special occassion – your first mother’s day with a son in your arms. How I wish I am there to greet you personally! But the distance between us can never get on the way to extend my deepest thoughts.
I will never know how difficult it is to take the multiple roles that you have right now – having a full-time job, being a wife to me and still taking care of our baby Inigo. It amazes me how you get all the energy to complete all your daily tasks. But I want you to know that all of these don’t go unnoticed.
You resigned from your job recently and decided to come and live with me here by next month. You sacrificed your career to become a full-time mom and home maker. What else can I ask for? You are the best thing that ever happened to me.
You are like the best poetry ever composed, the best song ever played, the best picture ever painted. I never thought that someone like me could get so lucky!
I love you more than my life, more than my world. I love you more and more each day and that is the most wonderful feeling any man can ever hope to experience.
Happy Mother’s Day on May 10.
Forever yours,
Nelson

Beautiful Days
Inigo turns 7 months
This is the first time I am celebrating his monthly birthday with him! He has grown a lot since the first time I saw him in his nursery pictures. It is amazing how heavy he is now. I did not personally witnessed how he grew up, but I am just glad that he is very healthy.
I bought him his first birthday cake from Red Ribbon in Trinoma.
Happy Birthday!
