Aleina's First Flight to Philippines

December 19, 2012 - Aleina's first time to fly (first ride in the airplane) and a trip to Philippines. Inside the plane, we've prepared Aleina's feeding (her formula milk) during take offs as we've noticed before that mosst babies are crying as this will hurt their ears during take offs. Well, we are actually expecting Aleina to cry but surprisingly our baby managed to have an almost no-cry trip!

We've stayed in our house in Las Pinas for 4 days coz we'd attended our college's friend Riza to her wedding in Pasic City. On December 22, we again prepared baby Aleina a very long trip (4hours) to the province - going to Batangas. We've rented out a van for her so we can expect a (somehow) shorter hour of trip; if we go for a bus we might expect to have a trip of at least 5 hours. We left early as 6am from Las Pinas and our first stop is my hometown - Lucena City. I'm so excited to show Aleina to my family especially to Tatay; before we heading to Batangas.

Along the way, we're already in Lucena, very near to my Tatay's house - Aleina was consistently crying... I've almost cry for her cries. I can't do anything, we've tried to get her attention and played to her but still crying. So I've just get out of the car and get Aleina out of it too, as well as Albert. Immediately Aleina stop crying. While walking (the van is almost following us too) Aleina looks at the van and smile and giggle... Oooaahhhh!

We've arrived in Lucena before 12noon, just right for our lunch. My step-mother, Tita Neneth and sisters prepared the food for all of us - seems like a mini fiesta! I left Aleina at home (in Lucena City) to be with her grandparents and cousins so I could send Albert's family to SM - to buy some grocery and an aircondition.

By 4pm, we've left Lucena again and headed to San Juan, Batangas - Albert's hometown.
