11 years ago.... I had the most wonderful experience of my life.... Giving birth to a 7.7 lbs. bouncing baby boy.... Yup he was our little prince.. Everyone in the family loved him from the moment he was born...Why the name...River Strauss? Well Mapi and I both loved River Phoenix that time :) and Strauss for Levi's Strauss our official maong :) His Nangnang Mapi gave him that nickname "ILOG" ...since he's real name is River and Ilog sounds like irog(term of endearment )thats why we still call him by that nickname up to now....River is a very precious child... He would always make us smile by his little antics...at aged 2 he learned to tinker with the computer(talino nyan grade 1 or 2 best in computer !!!)...memorized funny tv commercials:)..dances like nobody is watching:)(aserehe-ha!!!:),storytells like an old man :)Hay naku!!!I could go on and on (heheheh..obvious na stage mom!!)But I would like to stop muna and thank the people who showered my only son with love and affection.... to Nangnang Mapifor your unconditional love & concern (miss you so much)...for Tababa for your love and understanding(even if he's medyo alaskador!!)... to teacher Nev together with tito jay & kylie for all the thoughtful things you do(preparing meals & teaching stuffs:)... for Duydoy for always being his naynay and for the numeruous times you let him share your bed..:)to future tito hans for all the gifts and pag -aalaga!!!
