Video: Johann’s 3rd Birthday

E.J. — Tue, 24 Jan 2012 06:31:44 +0000

A montage of photos and video clips from January 22.

Katy Perry’s performance in Manila for her California Dreams concert tour was also on that day. She sent us her regrets, as she was unable to join our celebration.

Katy kissed Ivan Dorschner on-stage, but she says she was thinking of Johann the whole time.

Got Sparklers?

It was Johann’s 3rd Birthday yesterday. We had a little celebration with cake (of course!), dinner out, and a trip to an amusement arcade.

Before washing up for the kids’ bedtime last night, we finished off the fireworks that I set aside from New Year’s Eve.

Here’s an animated photo gif I made:

I think animated GIFs are called, “cinemagraphs” these days.

Anton really likes his party hat. We lit a fountain, a couple of ground spinners, and a pack of sparklers.

That’s Xena walking in and out of the shots. Her long coat had to be shaved off to manage the tick infestation. Did you know that those little bloodsuckers can go for up to 3 YEARS without food? Evil ticks are evil.

I’ll post moar photos and some video laterz. Maybe.

A Link Between Angels and Men

A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure,
a messenger of peace and love,
a resting-place for innocence on earth,
a link between angels and men.

Still loose for allowance for growth (because it is only March). Sans the mask, gloves, boots – and of course, a lightsaber.

He gets a big kick out of doing a Force Push on me and/or his mother.

To a Kid, a Park is a Park

So says my brother-in-law, Marvin.

Mix that with some Psalmlove, you get, “To a kid, a memorial park is where you can go hunt for Zombies!”

Above: [2011-Feb-07] A photo-stitch of Johann stomping around the memorial park for some fresh air, greenery, and lots of space to run around in (while I speak to the caretaker of my grandparents’ graves).

Watch the video ~~of him hunting Zombies~~ after the jump.

Oh “Mikey”, you’re so fine…

…you’re so fine you blow my mind, hey Mikey! Hey Mikey!

At Rustan's Supermarket on Katipunan Avenue

I cannot say for sure if the above left photo really is Philippine President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s son, Congressman Juan Miguel “Mikey” Arroyo, allegedly browsing the booze / hard liquor section of Rustan’s Supermarket on Katipunan Avenue, as Typhoon Ondoy/Ketsana raged on (which submerged Metro Manila in 410mm rainfall – a month’s worth in just 12 hours!). The image is blurry and inconclusive. Mikey has publicly denied it is him (see Mikey’s statement on Tumblr).

However, on the right, we are definite that that’s me and my son earlier tonight (photo taken by my lovely wife). We were shopping for Marie (TM) soft biscuits for him to munch on. He is teething – like any 8-month-old baby should be.

Note that there is a difference in camera angle between the two photos.

His first stroller ride.

On the slopes of Mt. Makiling. I can see the SLEx and Tagaytay from here!

After watching the May 3 Pacquiao vs. Hatton fight, my in-law’s and I went over to Jam’s Tito Mandy’s house in Calamba. It was for an extended celebration of Jam’s and her nephew Barnett’s birthday.

We walked off some of the excess food by taking Johann to the nearby park, on his first stroller ride. Click here to view the album of photos.

He Can Laugh!

Here’s a fresh video of three-month-old Johann playing with his Mommy, who is letting out a silly laugh he finds funny.
