Yo Gabba Gabba @ Nokia Theater

2010-11-27T21:06:00.000-08:00

Today my parents took me to see Yo Gabba Gabba live in concert @ the Nokia Theater. For those of you who don't know Yo Gabba Gabba, it's basically a hip hop children's show featuring a very skinny rapper aka DJ Lance Rock and his gang of creature friends. DJ Lance Rock is pretty cool, although it must be hard to stay that skinny. They sings songs that tell us not to hit our friends, to eat our food, dance crazy, and buy their products. Mike The Dad wonders if DJ Lance Rock does bad things when he's not on Yo Gabba Gabba...it must be hard being a role model. Thoughts like that is how I know that Mike The Dad isn't a role model.

I may be only 2 years old, but I already know that the producers of Yo Gabba Gabba are geniuses because the show is EXACTLY the same as the DVD...which means they haven't come up with anything new for about 4 or 5 years...and yet thousands...I mean THOUSANDS...come out to watch.

Here we are trying to sneak into the VIP line to take photos.

This photo was taken by a scalper trying to hock his bootleg Yo Gabba Gabba tees.

Dammmnnnnnnn....this is BIG!

DJ Lance Rock!

Special guest of the night was Joel Madden and Nicole Richie. Props to Joel Madden for rockin' the tank top and showing all of us kids why it's really cool to get full sleeve tattoos.

Biz Markie did his really dope beat box routine. When they zoomed in, Food Dispenser pointed out that Biz has periodontal disease and that he could use a good cleaning. Oh Mom...

Mike The Dad may have been the only guy to recognize Brian Posehn...

Confetti and Balloooons! Look at them celebrating how much money they made from us!

So I just learned how to use a digital camera. Being a little over 2 feet tall makes for an interesting angle. I also like to take photos of my dogs, who like to walk away from me. This is why you see shots of my doggy's butthole.

My first visit to Disneyland!

2010-04-25T22:00:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone,

Sorry that I've been MIA. Actually, it's my MTD's fault, and he recently received a text from Tita Nerissa to tell him that he needs to get off his a** and start posting snippets of my life again. Oh, and he was in Vancouver at the time, so each international text cost him 50 cents for a grand total of 1.50. So MTD, if you don't want to waste money on responding to folks asking for updates, do it now.

In MTD's defense though, he has been in Calgary, Edmonton, Manila, Boracay, SF, LA, Seattle, and Vancouver...having a great time without us.

So...for FD's birthday we decided to hit Disneyland for the first time. Yes, it sounds exciting, but don't forget I'm only two years old and can't concentrate long enough enjoy the - OOOOOHHH COLORS, BOOOOOGER! - rides. However, visiting the Enchanted Kingdom for the first time is special, and I couldn't wait to visit the Huge Rodent with button shorts and the overgrown Peking Duck in the sailor outfit. Indeed, this was going to be epic.

First stop was the carousel, which is a huge rotating contraption littered with large plastic animals that you ride. I had a great time, and if this is what being dizzy drunk feels like, I can't wait to turn 21!

I was almost having as much fun as this kid. Easy homie...don't get so excited now.

What better way to greet the magical castle than with a booger.

There's that huge rodent in the button shorts I was referring too. Lord help me...why do you want me to take a photo with that thing? Don't you know they carry the plague?

As soon as we left, huge rodent was extremely happy to see us go. Maybe it has something to do with his sultry assistant.

Yes, my parents have advanced degrees. No, my parents don't know how to spell SOUVENIR.

All geared up

So Disneyland was a success, and at the end of the day I was super passed out. I collected a Mickey hat, Goofy propeller plane, and lifetime of memories, and for the piece de resistance, I took home the best of gift of all...

PNEUMONIA

Yes, the next day I got the sniffles, which bloomed into a full on 106 degree fever. As special as Disneyland was, it was also likely filled with germy little kids who passed on an awesome bacterial infection. Nothing like staying home for 2 weeks and taking tasty antibiotics for 10 days. All is well though, and I'm back in party mode.

Until next post...

Disneyland!

2010-03-20T17:00:00.000-07:00

What's really funny is that my parents can't spell "souvenir". Advanced degrees are worthless...

Manila trip - September 2009

2009-11-15T22:17:00.001-08:00

Hi Everyone.

It's been a long while since I last posted, mostly because of my deadbeat Dad who fails to download all his photos in a timely manner. All that nice camera gear for absolutely nothing.

MTD, Lolo, and I decided at the lats minute to drop into Manila for a quick visit to see Great-grandpa Lolo Pula, and Lola. It was my 3rd visit since I was born, but it was much different this time around because I KNOW HOW TO WALK NOW...and won't put up with being strapped into a seat for more than 20 minutes at most.

Walking is great, except for the fact that I'm going to be crotch height for a while. I can't walk more than 10 steps in a public place without having someone's rear end or crown jewels right in my face. Does anyone else realize how bad the air is down here? Farts galore I tell you, and I would like to make a public service announcement that IT IS NOT OKAY TO FART AROUND BABIES.

Enough of my rants...enjoy the photos.

G.G. Yatco stands for Generosa Gana Yatco, who was my great great great grandmother. 1934 was when this Sungka game was made. MTD told me that it was a really fun game to play, but I tried to turn it on and looked for the touch screen - but I couldn't figure it out. Call me old fashioned, but I'll wait until they release an Ipod Sungka app instead.

If you ever go to a Filipino house and see a little pail next to the toilet...DO NOT DRINK OUT OF IT. You can however find two of them and use them as a pair of ghetto skates.

Here we are in Binan visiting the Yatco Mausoleum. Please...no one get up even though I'm really really really close to this burning hot candle.

We have a Gymboree near our house in Alabang, and we tried to go there often to play around. Usually, the Yaya's (Nanny) are the ones who bring the kids there while their parents do more important things like be rich and watch soap operas. As you can see by the photo, MTD fit right in.

Well, my battle royale vs. Diesel is healing nicely.

Here's what it looked like shortly after.

So I've just crossed the 18 month old barrier, or 1.5 years for those of you who can't add very well. To celebrate this momentous occasion, Bad (fun) Auntie Michelle paid us a quick visit all the way from NYC, and Tita Marga & Uncle Brian made the drive south from Long Bizzeach to hang out. Bad Auntie has been MIA a bit competing in Triathalon's. With all that running and working out, she'll have the body of a Thai ladyboy in no time.

Here's a few photos from my grand day. We set up a makeshift semi-amateur-cheap photo studio complete with fluorescent lights and umbrellas. Who would've have known you can get all this for $150 on eBay.

2009-08-05T23:16:00.001-07:00

Hello fans. It's been a busy few weeks with plenty of visitors and we've been hittin' up every joint around town. A few things have developed since I last posted.

1.) I'm allergic to Peanuts. Now, before you go blaming MTD for my deadly allergy, note that it's not hereditary. MTD is allergic to ALL nuts EXCEPT peanuts, so together we're complete.

2.) I can talk. Here's a short list of some words I know: Mommy, Daddy, Buddy, Money, Diesel, Nono (Lolo), Nona (Lola), Gamma, Sh*t, Rebecca, Wha' Happan', Dumb, Poo Poo, Pee Pee, Ouch, Button (aka MTD's nipple), iPod.

3.) Things I can't say. "I love you" & "Please"

4.) I pee in the toilet in the morning

5.) I can solve spelling puzzles on my iPod touch. Yes, believe it.

Here's some photos...

Poway

Auntie Christy...can I say a few words now?

This is how my doggy goes pee

OMGwhyareyoulettingthisdogsmellmybutt.

So I was walking around Balboa Park with Uncle Brian, and this old guy randomly grabs my hand! Way to go parents, the guy could have been a total Asiapedophile, could've had a booger on his finger, could have run off and kidnapped me...all while you guys sit there in the background and laugh. Although, by the looks of it I don't think he could've run very far.

Here I am again entertaining my parents with my doggy pee imitation trick. So immature...

What a lucky kid...I bet HIS parents share their cigarettes. Mine are stingy.

I bet this ride is gonna suck. BTW, the limit is 36" tall. Way to break the rules yo'

Yup...this ride did suck. Way to emotionally scar me dude. I'll send you my therapy bills.

For those of you who don't already know, I am a vegetarian. That's right, I refuse to eat meat and have a life goal of becoming eternally anemic. You know what else I don't like? Peanuts...because apparently MTD not only gave me the gift of life, but he gave me the gift of allergy to nuts. We'll post those photos later. Anyhow, Money here is more than willing to eat whatever leftover meat I decide not to. He still smells like dirty feet.

I'm not exactly sure how this happened, nor am I sure why that instead of helping me in my time of distress...MTD had the time to run, get the camera, and take this photo while I risked the possibility of having my hair yanked out by this jar of Play-doh.

I was wandering around the family room when I noticed this horrific smell coming from the bathroom. I opened the door and lo and behold...MTD left my diaper on the sink. My dirty dirty carrot filled diaper.

Here's where I express my disdain for the situation...EWWWWWW

Seattle Trip!

2009-05-14T22:12:00.000-07:00

So FD had about 11 Jet Blue tickets to burn, so we decided to take a little trip to Seattle to keep MTD company while he went on a few appointments. MTD just LOVES Seattle, mostly because it's cold and wet, like his personality.

First stop was a joint called FareStart, which was a really cool restaurant that focused on serving the community. Thursday night is guest chef night where they bring in some cool chef and staff the kitchen with students to cook. The servers were all volunteers as well, and tonight it was the Starbucks Legal team who took time out of their busy schedule of trying to dominate the world and ruin Peet's Coffee to give me roasted duck.

The next day we hiked up to the Fremont District to visit one of FD's cousin's who lives under the bridge off 34th St.

Just chillin on a rock by the canal

We then hit up Pike's Market and saw this guy handing out FREE HUGS. At first we thought it said FREE DRUGS, but we were disappointed that he was only handing out the swine flu. Free Hugs? What if someone all stinky and gross wanted a hug?

Ahhhhhh - Space Needle in my head!

My NYC Weekend

2009-04-03T22:07:00.000-07:00

Being the restless parents they are, MTD and FD took me to NYC to visit Bad Auntie Michelle. Tita Marga and Uncle Brian also came to visit, and we crammed into Bad Auntie's little palace in Gramercy. The place was great, except for the fact she was next to PS41 and you could hear delinquents playing ball all night long.

Here are a few shots...

So NYC has so many sites, the Empire State Bldg, Statue of Liberty...and guess what I saw all day? Yes...butts. Smelly, farty butts all over my face. Big butts, small butts, ugly butts...just butts.

It's been a while since I last posted here, but you can blame MTD since he's been lazy and traveling around a bit.

It took me a while to recover from Manila, and I kept waking up my parents EVERY 3 hours until I got fully adjusted. Heck - if I can't sleep then neither should they.

I'm starting to walk a little, but I'm going to try and ride this whole "carry me" thing as long as possible. MTD also tried to teach me how to poop in the toilet. I dropped 2 logs to make him happy, but I'm cool with my diaper actions for now. I like to trick him by peeing everywhere when he tries to put me on the toilet...

So it was my 1st birthday last week. Well, not technically my first because Feb 29th isn't until 2012, but no way am I missing out on any party opportunities. We had it at Habitot in Berkeley, aka Hippie Center of the World. It was raining, but we had a lot of fun nonetheless. I got some great presents, and a great boost to my college fund as well.

My parentals thought it would be funny to paint my face, so I spent the rest of the party with a dirty 'stache to match my Dad, who looked like a TJ drug dealer / Super Mario Dork.

"m'staches rock"

"personal space yo! personal space!"

What wasn't fun was the flight back to San Diego, where I had a sudden attack of Bronchiolitis! It sounds more fun than it really is, and when we got back to San Diego we went to urgent care to have me checked out. They stuck some tubes up my nose to clear out my snot, and gave me an Albuterol breathing treatment because I was only breathing at 93% capacity.

"check out my rudolf the red nose toe! this was to test my oxygen patterns"

"ahhhh...much better...I'm at 97% now"

Well, my parentals panicked, so they called Lola Tessie to fly over and watch me with them so they can work and pay for the insurance bill. I'm doing well now, and I get to play with Lola and get her sick too!

Me and Lolo Igoy holding hands...say it everyone...AWWWWW

Every Sunday we visit the "bayan", which is the old Yatco family house. Well, not technically the original house since that burned down, but it's the new "old" Yatco family house. Here's a photo of me and Tita Celina...

Mike the Dad took this photo on the way to the cemetery to visit Lola Socorro.

I'm not sure who this is, but he was sleeping right outside the door of the bayan.

That's my Dad alright, being dumb as usual. What you don't see is that he woke up right after Tita Grace snapped this photo - so they both ran away.

Lolo Igoy's 91st Bday

2009-02-08T03:46:00.000-08:00

After days and days of pestering from Mom and Lolo, I'm finally posting a few pics of my days here in Manila. It's been a very relaxing trip, and I've been spending some quality time with Lolo Igoy here. The day we arrived was his 91st bday, so the fam threw a party for him at Soro-Soro.

The birthday boy himself...

We tried about 800 times to take a group photo of all the kids, but I suck at it. this is the only halfway decent one, and as you can see Hannah is kicking my back. Hannah...you just wait until you learn how to walk. Then all bets are off.

The Amoranto clan

Mike the Dad thinks it's weird to see this pic, because not too long ago they were the babies. Of course this generation wasn't as prolific as the prior ones by having 8 billion kids. So there you have it...the next "Yatco" generation.

Cousin Ethan

Check out the monkey...lettin' it all hang out.

To all my fans in Manila!

2009-01-30T19:40:00.000-08:00

Line up everyone! I'm coming home to Manila!

Here I am at the airport, getting ready to go...

A day for change

Happy New Year!

2009-01-11T00:59:00.000-08:00

2008 was a fabulous year, and in a couple of months I'll be 1 year old! Not 12 months...1 year old! You don't hear 15 year old's calling themselves 180 months, so I don't know what crackhead came up with the idea of calling out the ages of their babies by months. Actually, officially I'll be only 4 months old because I'm a leap year baby.

My first Christmas and New Years was awesome. I got to meet Santa Claus (two of them) and got lots of presents. I got to spend lots of time with Grandma & Grandpa Gereaux, and Lolo Arnold. Lola was still in Manila, and I'm looking forward to collecting the present she owes me next month when I go to the Philippines. I also met lots of other babies, and stuck my finger in all their ears. Mike the Dad, and Mommy (formerly known as Food Dispenser) partied a lot, so I learned how to sleep really late. We celebrated New Years Eve at Godmommy Sandy's house, but I was sleeping so I didn't care.

Here are a few photos for your enjoyment.

The Lomotan's at Tita Nel's house.

Special shout out to Lolo Cip. He wants to be on the blog and be internet famous.

Lola Nel giving me my first gift of the day!

After visiting with Lola Nel's. It was off to the Gereaux's for another Christmas party. It was lots of fun, UNTIL Santa showed up.

WAIT A MINUTE - This isn't the Santa I know...

Bring back my other Santa!

Here's some other photos from my vacation

Meet my new friend Sklyar Arcenal. We visited Mike the Dad's friend Mark Arcenal so I can play with his kids.

Me and Brooklyn Arcenal

We also played at Fairway Glen park in Santa Clara. Mike the Dad didn't want me to play on the stuff because he said he and his friends used to pee down the slide.

Oh Well!

We also let Money run around a bit. Diesel was too lazy to play with us.

This is Mike the Dad's childhood friend, Frans and his baby Alana.

My first Christmas Eve!

2008-12-27T12:03:00.000-08:00

We finally made it up to the Bay Area....MTD drove, and FD and I flew up because MTD didn't want to deal with 10 hours of my crying and numerous bathroom stops.

First stop - Hayward with Grandma and Grandpa Gereaux.

What the hell is this barrier doing up?

Look into my eyes...what do you see? That's right...EVIL...PURE EVIL

Tita Joan (pronounced JoAnne - yah...someone needs a phonics lesson) and Lee stopped by for a visit too.

WHOA WHOA WHOA WHOA...Personal space violation homeboy!

Later that night we stopped by Gloria Lee's house for some more celebratin'

Godmommy Slee and Auntie Amy

I like this doggy Peanut. I think he's half Chihuaha and half crazy.

This doggy is cool too, and same with the Shih Tzu.

Merry Christmas!

2008-12-24T20:00:00.001-08:00

Merry Christmas everyone! I'm in the Bay Area now to celebrate the holidays with the family and experience a little bit of cold weather. I flew in with Food Dispenser last night, while Mike The Dad drove all the way up from San Diego with the two stinky dogs. Ninang Michelle decided to ditch this Christmas...so if you're reading this...you owe me a bigger present or you will be replaced by one of my many fans who want the honor of being my Godmommy. Same goes to Lola who is still in Manila...Lola, I would like the two tone rose gold Rolex please. We miss you!

So parental units broke 2 rules yesterday...

1.) Do not give a baby sharp objects
2.) Do not give a baby a sharp object that happens to be a pen

I know Lola is reading this, so here's a few old photos for fun.

Tita Marga and me. I love to spit like a llama!

2008-12-08T21:34:00.000-08:00

Last weekend we visited the Beverly Center in LA to go and meet Santa Claus - or at least LA's version of Santa Claus. Photos are top secret, but check back on Christmas day to get your sneak peek at my exclusive photo shoot.

I love Blackberry's!

Ex-Food Dispenser tried to get out of the photo frame...

Yay for toothless grins! As seen on babies and meth addicts.

New Videos!

2008-11-23T21:45:00.000-08:00

You know what? As soon as I learn how to use that camera thingy, I'm going to take videos of Mike the Dad taking a shower and post it on YouTube...see how he likes it.

Tita Marga and Uncle Brian bought me a really cool dancing Gobee from my favorite cartoon...Yo Gabba Gabba. Go Addie...Go Go...Go Addie!

Scottsdale Trip

2008-11-22T19:48:00.000-08:00

Okay, so maybe this is a bit old...but too bad.

We all went to Scottsdale, AZ for Mommy's dental something about something about mouth but not very fun conference. 3 days of FUN at the Fairmont Scottsdale, or as Mike the Dad calls it...JAIL. He had a problem with paying 8.00 for a bottle of water so he rented a $100 car to go to Trader Joe's and buy a gallon.

Halloween and more

2008-11-04T00:22:00.001-08:00

So this was my first halloween. I thought I was going to go clubbin', but instead we crashed a house party and hung out with strange pale round eyed people.

From Addison Times Blog

The next day we packed to go to LA and visit Tita Marga and Uncle Brian - both of whom just got back from Thailand and Philippines. Uncle Brian had lots to say about the Thailand Ladyboys and I think he plans on moving there when he's 70 years old.

Tita Marga always seems to get strange things in her food, and today would be no different.

Looks like Jose left a short and curly present in the tamale.

MTD and I then went to Santa Monica where I met this nice man.

BOING BOING BOING!

2008-10-26T00:36:00.000-07:00

So I was crawling around today and found this springy thing protruding from the wall! Who invented this thing? Do you know how awesome this is? Do you know what would be more awesome? If my stupid parents wiped my nose every once in a while...

Addy and the Pumpkin Patch

2008-10-20T00:19:00.001-07:00

Being from the Bay Area, we're a little bit spoiled when it comes to things like food, shopping, and...pumpkin patches.

A friend of ours told us to visit the pumpkin patch in Pacific Beach, and we had grandeur dreams of the Half Moon Bay pumpkin patch....

But instead we got this...a nice parking lot of pumpkins in 80 degree weather. We still had fun though!

From Addy at the Pumpkin Patch

This photo is supposed to be just chillin' by myself. But if you look closely...it looks like I'm pooping out Mike The Dad's face.

From Addy at the Pumpkin Patch

Just standing around...pooping

2008-10-17T23:42:00.000-07:00

You know what's great about diapers? You can poop while standing. I know you grown ups would love to have this convenience...don't get me wrong, you absolutely can...but I think my poop is much cuter than yours.

So Lolo and Lola are back in the Philippines, so I'm going to upload some videos so that you can see what I'm doing now. As you can see, I'm standing up now. What comes next? Walking...and after? RUNNING!

More pics from Tita Marga and Uncle Brian's wedding

2008-10-16T00:25:00.001-07:00

Does anyone want to tell me why I'm not in any of these photos? Who's responsible here? Who needs to get fired?

Notice something about this photo? That's right...Uncle Brian is following Tita Marga. Get used to it man.

Tita Marga & Uncle Brian's wedding

2008-10-13T21:25:00.000-07:00

So Uncle Brian officially became Brian Lomotan, and was the first official white guy to be inducted into the family. Way to ruin the gene pool Uncle Brian!

The wedding itself was a lot of fun. The big people kept drinking this funny colored water that made them do stupid things. Mike the Dad and Food Dispenser were pretty busy drinking some of that colored water, so Grandma and Grandpa Gereaux were nice enough to watch over me. I think Food Dispenser had a little too much colored water, and I don't think she'll be feeding me a for a while. Not sure why...

Kiddie Kandids

2008-10-06T00:34:00.000-07:00

Food Dispenser had the bright idea to go and take "real" photos at the local Babies R Us today. Believe it or not, the 6 photos you see here took over 3 hours to finish because I kept crying when the ugly photographer tried to make me laugh. That biatch also couldn't find my good angle and I look constipated in some of these photos! CALL MY AGENT!!! I WANT THESE REDONE!

Happy Birthday Lolo!

2008-09-25T00:12:00.000-07:00

Hi Everyone - sorry I've been neglecting to post, but I've been busy terrorizing my parental units such that they are too tired to hold me while I type my stories.

A LOT has changed, and A LOT has happened in the last few weeks...

1.) I fell off the bed. Mike The Dad dozed off while I was playing on the bed and I fell off the bed and landed flat on my back. I cried a little bit but I'm okay otherwise. Mike The Dad tried to hide it from Food Dispenser and told her that I was crying because I was hungry. He told the truth later and got in trouble.

2.) I can crawl. Well...duh...how else did I fall off the bed.

3.) I'm eating baby food now.

4.) I also wanted to say Happy Birthday to Lolo!

Here's a video of me eating

I'm 6 Months old!

2008-08-30T01:19:00.000-07:00

In human years I would be considered 6 months old, but because I'm a leap year baby...technically I'm still only 1.5 months old.

So a lot has changed in the last 6 months...

1.) I have lots of boogers...probably because I still have no nose hairs.
2.) I'm now drinking formula more regularly, which means my poop smells like real crap.
3.) I can sit up
4.) I can terrorize the dogs
5.) I have my period (just kidding Dad!)

"Seriously Mom...Listerine...I'm sure you can get it free at your office"

Me and Lola at the Carlsbad Outlets...If you didn't already know, Outlets are the number 2 most visited place for Filipinos. What's number 1? CHURCH

"Oh man...I've got to lay off the vodka..."

Uncle Brian, Tita Marga and me at the bridal shower

This is Uncle Tim, Uncle Brian's Dad.

I couldn't think of something creative to put...so I'll give you 3 choices...

1.) Whhhhaaaaa...White Guy!
2.) Whhhhaaaaa...why is Santa so skinny!!!!
3.) Whhhhaaaaa...someone get me a pen! It's Sean Connery!

I'm 5 mos old! Happy Birthday to me!

2008-07-30T19:05:00.000-07:00

I'm officially 5 mos old today. 5 mos of living with two complete rookies who BARELY know how to keep me entertained. So maybe a little plastic nipple and some boob works for now...but just wait. In 7 more months I'm going to make your life hell...and as soon as I learn how to walk the first thing I'm going to do is kick you in the shins! Thank goodness for my little stinky dog Diesel...at least he let's me scratch him.

Finally! A photo of me and Grandma Winnie

Random Philippine Photos

2008-07-16T01:31:00.000-07:00

Dad took me to Ace Hardware to buy some stuff for the house, and the guy in front took waaaaay to long counting out his centavos. Hurry up man! Look at my Dad's face! We got places to go!

This is Grissel, Gillian and cousin Nina. We took this photo during my first visit to Binan.

This is Tita Grace...sad to say...yes, I'm related to her.

Grissel, Lolo Mario and Lolo Naning at the bayan.

This is the mausoleum of the Yatco family. My Lolo Lolo visits every other day to say a prayer to my Lola Lola...

While we were visiting, this crazy person came in and started wandering around the mausoleum! Food Dispenser got really scared and started running around, while MTD starting snapping away with his stupid camera.

Here are my cousins Ethan and Samantha! We all met up at the mall to do some loitering and stare at people.

Last Sunday we all got together for Lolo Mario's birthday. Lolo Mario is my Lola Lola's brother and has this really cool getaway house with monkeys and goats and other crazy animals. I'm not referring to the crazy animals in the photo below by the way...they aren't crazy...unless there is lechon.

Our first attempt at a photo with the cousins...

Second attempt. Notice the cut on my nose...note to self...do not try and pick your nose until you further develop your motor skills.

Before we left, I wanted to make sure that I got a photo in the family bassinet. This bassinet is over 90 years old and it gets passed around from family to family when any Yatco kid is born. Of course I don't live in Manila, so I have to opt for a quick nap.

Me and Sofia...she won't share her banana

This is my Lolo Lolo Igoy. He likes to play with my feet and keep me indoors so that I don't get bitten by mosquitoes. He's 90 years old and still yelling at Mike the Dad - go Lolo!

Bye! This is me and Food Dispenser on the plane home earlier today.
