Memorable words, lines and moments while the Baby Shower games:

• Superman – if you have a baby, will you name him Superman? Hello!?
• Amanda by Toto ni Jojerry (as per google, ndi nag-eexist ang song na ito!)
• Jack and Jill – two points ang mga sisters =)
• Father Abraham and his 7 children – 8 points ang mga brothers…waaaa!!!
• Game Over! By Joje --- weeee!!!
• First time – Nathan fell asleep on my shoulder =)
• picture taking with the guests who brought gifts for Ate Sam…and picture taking with the guests who did not bring gifts… (o diba may halong pang-aasar!)
• Different versions of the song El Bimbo – depende po kung saang generation ka pinanganak
• Chiquitita – hindi pangalan ng tao ito, ito ay pangalan ng saging --- ‘Chiquitita tell me what’s wrong’ --- dahil lasing – kinakausap na daw ang saging
• ang pandaraya ng mga brothers --- pero at least honest daw sila kasi umamin…
• ang pang-aasar ni kuya noli kay jeanette at cris sa pagsusuporta nila sa aming mga talks --- sleeping version support---

My weekend was just so exciting, fun, tiring, fulfilling… pero masaya…kung baga – ito un mga weekends na masasabi ko na ‘sana maulit muli’…
