May 1 - Labor Day. I was supposed to have the vaccination against Cervical cancer, but since I had allergies to certain anti-biotic, I was advised not to take it. So to make the most of the day, my family and I went to Nuvali Park at Sta. Rosa City.
May 8 - PNB HR's Summer Outing at Baguio City. I wasn't all excited about the trip because I had been in Baguio for so many times. But then, since it was an office outing + teambuilding, I finally decided to go, but I had to go home after the dinner of May 8 because my family and I would travel to Laguna for Monday's national elections. The whole day of May 8 had been tiring but fun. I was asleep during the entire ride back to Manila (I took Victory Liner bus, at around 2:00 am of May 9). Below were some pictures of our summer outing:
Balance! balance!

May 9 - The bus from Baguio City finally got to Manila at around 7:00 am. My husband was already in the bus terminal, waiting for me. When we got back at Alabang, I gave my daughter a big hug then slept for a while. Around lunchtime, I packed baby's things (and also mine) because we're going to Laguna (My daughter would take a 3-week vacation there with my parents and siblings because my father-in-law would take a gallbladder operation, therefore, our relatives here in Alabang would be busy taking care of him for a while). I would also sleep overnight at Laguna because of the national elections on May 10. However, my husband would return to Alabang that day because he was registered in his hometown (and he was a poll watcher. Raket nya kasi may Php 500 sweldo per meeting siya dun!).
May 10 - It's a National Holiday because it's our country's Presidential Elections. Time to vote for the one we think could run and manage our country best. We spent the whole day outside our precint because the line had no system at all and the poll watchers were so pasaway (means they go against the rules). When the police came over to organize the voters, the flow of voting became fast (at last!).

After the voting session, we finally went home. And it was the time I left my baby, My daughter with her grandparents (on my side) for a 3-week vacation. My heart ached when I walked away, while my daughter was watching me with quizzing eyes. It was the first time we wouldn't be together for a long time.
May 15-16 - It was also a mother's day last May 10, and it was my husband's birthday last May 13. To celebrate them, my husband and I planned to have an overnight summer getaway at City of Springs resort at Laguna. We just visited our baby on the morning of May 15 at my parent's house, but my husband and I took off to the resort by lunchtime to check in. We rented the room with an indoor pool (which we later realized that the water was hot because Laguna is well known to have hot springs resorts). I would write more detailed story on this next time. :) The next day, we said bye-bye to our daughter and left for Alabang to my husband's parent's house where we are currently staying.
May 22 - My husband took a leave on a weekday before this weekend, but he just stayed in the house for the whole day. That's why he wanted to go spend the day in a mall. It was also a very hot day, and going to the mall to cool off was one of the greatest idea we could think.
May 29 - My husband and I traveled back to Laguna on the night of May 28 (Friday) to take our daughter with us (her vacation was already over). We went to the hospital in Alabang for her check up and vaccination (PCV, Pneumococcal vaccine). She cried a lot and aloud when the shot was given to her! And she had slight fever the next days due to the shot, I had to absent from work on Monday to take care of her.
Well, that's the summary of our family's activities during the month of May, 2010. Summer's ending and we're giving way to the rainy season. Goodbye hot sunny days! :)
