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.

Johann in March

E.J. — Sat, 04 Apr 2009 09:03:17 +0000

I had a handful of our favorite, recent photos of Johann printed. While waiting for us to return from a visit to Johann’s pediatrician yesterday (for shots and stuff), my father-in-law wrote captions for them. After scanning the bits of paper and some Photoshop, voila:

Johann in March. Click for full size.

Out on the ocean sailing away
I can hardly wait
To see you come of age
But I guess we’ll both just have to be patient
‘Cause it’s a long way to go
A hard row to hoe
