Update on Mateo and McHale Shaw
2008-08-22 17:43:00
Remember Mateo and McHale Shaw, the miracle twins who were given only a 5% chance of surviving when they were born? They're more than two years old, and despite having had 25 surgeries between them since their birth, they (and their parents) are going strong.The parents have a website on Caring Bridge where they post pictures and more details than I could ever recount. You can get to it by clicking this link, then, when you see the box down on the left that says "Visit A Caring Bridge Website", type mateoandmchale.Here's the update from their parents:Busy week so far. Sunday I took the boys to my parents. Grandma and Grandpa gave them an early X-mas gift, little cars that we push. They can sit in,that have a place for their feet to rest and a steering wheel that they can "drive" and beep. The boys loved them and really loved going for rides in them. We set up a little pool and the boys splashed around and blew bubbles in the water. Mateo did get to go swimming in my parents...
going full-time
2008-06-04 16:28:00
When I was still pregnant with Mateo, I was sure I wanted to be the one to take care of him. I left the decision of resigning up in the air and thought of not making a decision until things settle down and everything is clearer. I gave birth on a January, which actually leaves ...
an insured future
2008-05-28 17:20:00
Ramil and I have long been planning to get some life insurance quotes from some agents we know. Since I used to work in the insurance industry, I fully understand how important it is to have insurance. Now that we have Mateo, the need for it seems all the more glaring to us. When it ...
love for balls
2008-05-24 00:48:00
Ever since Mateo was smaller, he loves balls more than any other toy. We first introduced him to a small bag of soft balls. It has a basketball, a football, a soccer ball, and a baseball. He loved them so much that he’d call anything round a ball. ‘Bah’ is his first word aside from ...
San Mateo County Fair
2008-05-17 20:15:00
It is that time of year again to submit entries for the San Mateo County Fair. I have lived in the area for all my life and never thought of entering a project to exhibit at the fair. In 2006, I was was working for Michaels Arts and Crafts Store as an Event Coordinator. One day in May I was at the Atherton Library and I saw the brochure for the fair. As I looked through the brochure, I noticed some information for Wilton Cake Decorating and thought I would let the Wilton Instructor know about it so that she could tell her students to enter. As I read along I found information about entries for general crafts. As person who creates my own soap and other bath/body products, I decided to submit a basket of my muffin bath fizzy bombs. And to my pleasant surprise I won third place on my very first try.I skipped last years event, but I decided I would like to submit another entry of a basket full of bath and body goodies to see how I do.If you have a craft that you make and would...
Update on Mateo and McHale Shaw -- the Wonder Twins!
2008-05-16 22:18:00
Saturday, May 10 was Mateo and McHale Shaw's 2nd birthday. These two boys:were given just a 5% chance of survival when they were born. Two years later, they're still going strong. Here's an update from their parents' journal:Wow...where has the time gone. It seems like it was just yesterday we were in D.C preparing for the boys birth. All of our families flew in and I was checked into the hospital being monitored throughout the night in prepatation for the big day. We were excited and scared at the same time not knowing if the boys would make it. One of the greatest feelings was when the boys were born and were both crying. It was tough not being able to hold them for several weeks, but we cherished the first time we were able to. We were fortunate to have such caring people around us at both hospitals and the best of the best working on the boys. There was no certainty how the boys would do but we knew in our hearts we made the right decision to go to D.C for the doctors and ...

The Cubs optioned Juan Mateo to Single A Daytona, he refused the assignment and now is a free agent.
yaya-less once again
2008-04-22 03:57:00
Once again, Mateo’s yaya went home. This time though, she told us way ahead of time that she wants to visit her mom in the province. Initially, she told me she’ll be back after two weeks but after several days, she told me that she’s not sure if she’ll be coming back. It would have ...
Do you know Mateo and McHale?
2008-04-16 15:11:00
Over to the right on this blog is a box titled "Help The Shaw Twins." Have you ever read that box? Have you ever helped them?Mateo and McHale Shaw were born conjoined twins and given a 5% chance of survival. That was about 2 years, and about 40 operations, ago. They are not only still living, they are going strong and getting better every day. These two boys, and their parents, are an inspiration to me and to everyone. There's times that I feel worn out or tired or worry about one of my own kids being under the weather, and then I think of this family and their struggles and I marvel that they are able to remain positive, upbeat, and happy.The twins' parents, Ryan and Angie Shaw, keep a journal over on Caring Bridge. To read it, click that link and type the words "Mateoandmchale" into the "Visit a Caring Bridge Site" box. Here's the latest entry. In the latest entry, Mom Angie says that it looks as though the boys might be able to walk someday -- but, in case they don't, she's ...
keeping mateo busy
2008-04-16 05:30:00
Mateo is such a handful lately. He could barely sit still for ten minutes. It’s such a hassle now to bring him whenever we eat out because he could make such a ruckus. He’d cry with such vigor, worthy of Bantay-Bata. He has a lot of toys but he’ll be interested in them for only ...
mateo?s tita
2008-04-15 18:42:00
Ever since my sister started staying with us last week, Mateo has been having more fun. The word ‘Tita’ is one of his most used words lately. My sister seems to be having a blast too. The two of them get along really well. The only problem is that Mateo would sometimes be too much ...
doodles
2008-04-10 04:03:00
Mateo loves doodling now. He even holds his pencil or pen the right way. A few weeks before Mateo turned one, I bought some big crayons and decided to let him try them. I brought out a big, light colored cartolina, he sat on it, and then I showed him how to use the crayola. ...
La táctica depende de Kike Mateo
2008-04-09 13:28:00
La táctica que seguirá el Sporting pasa por saber si Kike Mateo saltará de inicio en Málaga o no.En el caso de que no lo hiciese, se volvería a utilizar un pseudo 4-1-4-1 como el de Vigo. Lo suyo sería que esa posición entre el centro del campo y la defensa la vuelva a ocupar Ivan Hernandez, pues es el pivote más defensivo de todos. En el centro del campo está por ver quien sale de inicio ya que Michel, Matabuena y Omar estan disponibles.Si saliese Kike Mateo, se volvería al 4-2-3-1 de siempre con Kike como media punta. La duda estaría en quienes serían los pivotes. Matabuena sería casi seguro, pero el otro estaría entre Michel e Ivan Hernandez.Las bandasOtro aspecto que podría variar, son las bandas. En los últimos partidos, las posiciones de la banda derecha se han ido alternando entre varios jugadores, como Cámara y Sastre en el lateral o Pedro con Luis Moran para el de interior. Esto dificulta saber por quien se decidirá Preciado.En cuanto a la izquierda, tambi...
mateo mall time
2008-04-08 15:51:00
Since its summer and there’s no work for teachers like Ramil and me, we find ourselves heading for the mall these days. It’s funny because once we get there, we often just walk around and window-shop. Of course, Mateo would often tag-along and we’d always end up wishing we left him at home. Hehe! Yesterday, ...
Novedades médicas sobre Bilic, Landeira y Mateo.
2008-04-03 12:10:00
Bilic ya tiene oficialmente el alta médica y entrena con perfecta normalidad, por lo que se perfila como titular para el partido del Sábado ante el Nastic.Landeira por su parte todavía no dispone del alta médica ya que al parecer le persisten algunas molestias.Kike Mateo, quien no va a estar ante el Nastic, fue sometido hoy a una resonancia de control hoy y los resultados han sido muy buenos, por lo que sigue en pie la posibilidad de que pueda reaparecer ante el Málaga.En cuanto a Barral, hará tambien una resonancia de control la próxima semana y a raíz del resultado, se sabrá si podra disputar algunos minutos ante el Sevilla At o si tendrá que esperar a Cádiz, porque salvo un empeoramiento repentino, se espera que para el partido ante el Granada74 ya esté al 100%.Por tanto, el tema de reapariciones podría ir así:Sporting - Nástic - Bilic vuelve de titularMálaga - Sporting - Kike Mateo vuelve y disputa unos minutos.Sporting - Sevilla At - Kike Mateo al 100% y Barral ...

slooow weaning
2008-03-25 15:21:00
At 14 months, Mateo still feeds from my breasts. Although he also takes in formula milk whenever I’m not home, I can say that for the past 14 months, he gets his milk from me 70% of the time. Until a few weeks ago, a 900-gram can of formula milk would last for more than ...
Boracay trip (part 3)
2008-03-20 07:33:00
Read part 1 here and part 2 here. My sister and I told ourselves we want to wake up before the sun comes up. After the long walk we did on Sunday night, I knew we wouldn’t be able to make that happen. Mateo woke up around 7 am and since his waking time dictates my ...
according to Mateo?
2008-03-13 15:36:00
Here are some of the words that Mateo can now say. Some are very clear to everyone while some needs an interpreter (me!). Duhduh - means Dada Mama - obviously means Mama baba - Barney boh (with a long o) - ball bohk (with a long o) - book booh (with a longer o) - boat ish - fish deh - there tiss ...
clingy Mateo
2008-03-13 13:46:00
Mateo has been very clingy these past few days. Ever since we came back from Bora, he has been like my shadow or an extra appendage. I’m guessing it’s because for four days, we were together for 24 hours. I’m finding it difficult to do simple things like going to the bathroom. He doesn’t want ...
Cubs | Mateo optioned to Triple-A

our Bora trip (part 1)
2008-03-06 20:36:00
We’re back! We stayed in Boracay for three days and two nights only. How we wish it was longer. The whole vacation was really cheap for us since we have sponsors but any amount is still painful for an empty pocket. Haha! Nevertheless, despite the travel and our much emptier wallets, it was worth it. My ...
let me out!
2008-02-27 04:27:00
Since Mateo loves going outside now, he has also learned how to use our house keys. While we were outside our house a week ago, he got the keys from me and proceeded to use it on our padlock. I was amazed he knew how to use it because nobody taught him how. I guess ...
no to shades and hats
2008-02-27 03:45:00
Mateo looks absolutely adorable whenever he’s wearing his pair of shades and his hat. I have a problem though, he’d often wear it for about five seconds - long enough for people around him to appreciate and say ‘wow, gwapo’ and then he’d go about removing the shades and then the hat. Does anyone have ...
our little gardener
2008-02-27 03:30:00
Mateo loves playing outside. I’d usually accompany him and even if he’s just walking around in our garage and front area, he’s happy already. He’d tinker with everything he can get his hands on while I just let him explore to his heart’s content. A few days ago, he was so taken by the small ...
mall time
2008-02-27 02:27:00
Ever since the new mall near our area was opened, our small family have gone for some quick mall time every now and then. For the just concluded three-day weekend, we were there last Saturday and Monday. Ramil and I used pass by the mall when we were still bf-gf. We’d meet every day from ...
getting Barney-fied
2008-02-19 09:04:00
I grew up watching Sesame Street and Batibot. Although I’ve heard of Barney, I never really knew him until I started teaching and met English-speaking (complete with a twang) grade-schoolers who grew up loving Barney. It seems that Barney has reached a kiddie star status close to that of Jollibee’s. Really, what’s with big butts ...

another studio stint
2008-02-12 17:48:00
Remember Mateo’s first studio stint at Pic-A-Boo? Ramil and I have been planning on having another studio session for Mateo. We’ve been planning but we couldn’t seem to fit it into our budget. It’s a stroke of luck that a few weeks after Mateo’s first session, one of his godparents gave him a GC to ...
Kike Mateo 100%, De Lucas 50%, Sastre 0%
2008-02-06 10:45:00
Preciado recuperará a Kike Mateo para el partido ante el Elche, partido que es el más importante en lo que va de temporada ya que perderlo ya no es que supondría salir del ascenso, es que además el equipo quedaría a tres puntos y con un golaverage negativo respecto al Elche.Por otro lado, De Lucas ya empieza a entrenar con el resto de la plantilla de forma parcial tras recuperarse de la lesión que sufrió a mediados de Diciembre.Por último, Sastre es baja para el Domingo debido a la acumulación de tarjetas amarillas. El siguiente en la lista de acumulación de amarillas es Matabuena, con cinco.
my first stint as a hairdresser
2008-02-05 17:19:00
For the longest time, Ramil and I have been nudging each other about what to do with Mateo’s hair. When our little boy was about ten months old, I started seeing scratches inside his ear. It seems that he made them whenever his hair would go inside his ears and tickle him. So even before ...
pool time
2008-01-30 20:03:00
One of the gifts that Mateo received for his birthday was a small wading pool. After his successful swim at Canyon Woods, we were excited to let him try a pool that’s just right for his size. A week ago, while Ramil was in school and I was about to give Mateo a bath, I ...
are you doing a good job?
2008-01-25 08:06:00
Companies and employers usually do regular performance evaluations of their employees. These evaluations benefits not only the employers but the employees as well. For most companies, these determine their employees’ performance bonuses and/or salary increases and/or promotions. For the employees, these help them evaluate themselves. They can also rethink whether they would still like to ...
tagaytagy weekend (part 2)

After having a very foggy first day, we woke up to beautiful, clear skies. We were all happy and excited, especially my dad who planned on playing tennis in the morning. We all had a quick breakfast and then we headed to the clubhouse to look around and to play some tennis. clear, blue skies Mateo ...
our tagaytay weekend (part I)
2008-01-21 08:57:00
We had a great weekend in Tagaytay. I wanted to document the whole thing well so this will be a post of several parts. Hence, the ‘part I’ in this post’s title. My dear husband, gave a quick, concise summary of the whole thing if you’d like his version. Hehe! We were supposed to go ...
weekend hiatus
2008-01-18 14:13:00
I’ll be on an internet hiatus this weekend My parents will be treating us to some relaxation in Canyon Woods, Tagaytay, which means no work and internet. I’m not sure though if they have wifi there. If there is, I just might be able to squeeze in a few minutes online to make some ...
Mateo is 1!!!
2008-01-16 15:00:00
I can’t believe it’s been a year already! Whew! Mateo turned one yesterday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY BABY!!! I still can’t believe that my baby’s officially a toddler already  We celebrated yesterday by hosting a dinner for some friends and co-workers. Mateo had lots of fun going around the house and making pa-cute to the guests. ...
ready for bora
2008-01-11 11:10:00
One of the many gifts that Mateo received for Christmas, this one is given my dad. An opportunity to go to Boracay has come up. Thanks to my parents! Because of this, we wanted Mateo to be safe during the boat ride from Caticlan to Boracay and of course while swimming in the beach. ...
yaya on double duty
2008-01-11 10:39:00
Yesterday, I was a full-time yaya, with two little boys to look after. Mateo’s yaya left last Wednesday night because of some family emergency. She told us she would be back by Thursday morning but Thursday morning came and went and there was no yaya. The day looked bad already when Ramil woke up with ...
2007 in review
2008-01-07 16:13:00
2007 has come and gone. Before I move on to 2008, let me make a month-to-month recap of the previous year. JANUARY - Gave birth!!! It was one helluva month for Ramil and me. There were a lot of adjustments for us and a roller coaster of emotions. We were ecstatic to finally have our little ...
time?s up
2008-01-07 15:34:00
Our two-week long break is officially over. Ramil and I are sad beyond words. LOL. We were able to have a lot of quality time during the break. Majority of the break was spent in my parents’ house and being freeloaders, LOL! Mateo also enjoyed the holidays despite the fact that he slept through the ...
almost over
2008-01-05 16:01:00
Our two-week Christmas break is almost over. Wah!!! I am not physically, mentally, nor emotionally ready for it. I’m sure my students aren’t ready for it too. Hopefully, I get to squeeze in some much-needed work before Monday. Now, if only Mateo will give me time to work tomorrow…
no work means housework
2008-01-05 15:41:00
One of the things that I love as a teacher are the vacations that we get. Ever since I got married and had a baby, these vacations turn into time that I use to catch up on housework. It’s the time when I would be able to hand over Mateo to Ramil while I clean ...
reclaiming my lost love
2008-01-04 08:27:00
Nope, I’m not talking about an ex-boyfriend I’m talking about my love for the piano.   I started taking lessons when I was around nine years old. We didn’t have an actual piano then, all we had was a keyboard that my dad brought home from Japan. My lessons were actually on and off for several ...
misbehavior as a way to get a parent?s attention
2007-12-31 10:14:00
Ramil and I were never the type of children who misbehaved to get our parents’ attention when we were growing up. I’m not saying we never misbehaved but we misbehaved for different reasons. Aside from seeing some evidences of this in some of our students, I never thought I’d find myself at the receiving ...
so how was your Christmas?
2007-12-26 18:27:00
Well, ours was pretty relaxed and special. Even though it was our (Ramil and I) third Christmas as a couple, it was our first with Mateo, which made all the difference in the world. We were in my parents’ house as early as the 21st of December since Ramil and I had a wedding to ...

on being sick and tired of my baby
2007-12-11 15:25:00
Okay, I feel guilty just typing the title. Nevertheless, it’s a confession I must make. It’s very difficult to make this post since mommy blogs are usually overflowing with feelings of motherliness and gushes for their babies. Still, I am sitting down right now to write a post on how I became sick and tired ...
