War Machine

By | Celebrations | One Comment

Dad was not here to celebrate his birthday and fathers day with some of us- so we made sure we still had a celebration for him!  We thought of making it a War Machine party since he recently acquired the statue version of war machine

Dad is very careful with his things and I know that deep inside he was nervous I moved his War machine from the front of the house to the living room!   It took 5 people to carry it!

Everyone came in either Avengers or color grey or silver 🙂

There were two Incredible Hulks that day! 🙂  CUTE!

Last minute I came up with this decor for the party.  We wanted something “NO FRILLS” then I realized that Dad deserves more than no frills!  He deserves more than this but this is all I could come up with in the short time

I am counting around 42 of us in this photo and around 2 or 3 who were not included since they had to leave early.  We hope to be as many as we can for our Velada when others will still join in and many others who will come from abroad!

Resignation Letter

By | Entertainment | No Comments

You get a call that you need to go clean out Aunt Martha’s storage garage because she died. And, you are told to bring a trailer. Sounds like a pain in the rear but out of respect for your Aunt Martha, you comply. Later you send the following letter to your boss. 

Dear Boss:

I’m resigning effective immediately!

The reason for my resignation is that I cleaned my aunt’s garage this morning before

coming to work, and realized I don’t feel like working anymore.

See for yourself…

Yaya Nenita

By | Tributes | One Comment

Last July 9, Yaya Nenita celebrated her 60th birthday!  I saw this post by my cousin, Marie and remembered Yaya Nenita as a kid!  391540_10151253976594418_556988980_n.jpg

I remember her as the Yaya of Marie ( I love this photo! ) But she was Yaya to Dino and Jaime and everyone else!

559092_10151253990439418_600066845_n.jpg

Yaya Nenita was a staple in all our gatherings and I remember her when we used to stay in Tita Merl’s house when Dad and Mom would go on trips abroad.  

35 years ago,  June 11, 1977 to be exact, Yaya Nenita worked with Tita Merl and till today she is the yaya of Dino’s daughter, Sofie. She is part of the family!!…and yes a second mother to the Pinedas!  This kind of loyalty and dedication is very rare nowadays!  

Happy 60th to our 2nd mom, our walking&talking memory bank, our resident history buff, movie musical lover, and natural remedies guru! Yaya nenita 4ever!!!!!!

 yaya-nenita-1.jpgyaya-nenita-2.jpg

Special mention as well are Conchita and Yaya Sion who have been with my Lolo and Lola til this day.  Conchita was the Yaya of my lola around 50 years ago! and Yaya Sion around 41 years ago since 1971.  She was the yaya of Tita Tess and when she moved to Rome with my Lolo and Lola, she learned how to cook Italian and from then on cooked for the family!  

We love all the Yayas who have been with our family since forever till today!!!
