April Pool's Day

Up until last Saturday, happiness for me was making waves in my 3-foot long, six-inch deep bath tub. You could just imagine how wild I became when I plunged into my own inflatable swimming pool which my Ninang Nona gave me for my first birthday.

As soon as Ninang brought it home, Daddy wasted no time inflating it using our motorized air pump and filling it with water. And to check how durable it was, Daddy jumped right in for a swim.

After a few laps, Daddy declared that the pool was baby safe and friendly. Yaya Menchie slipped me into my bathing suit and I jumped right in with my cousins Judith and Jessica, and my constant bathing companion, Rubber Ducky. I had a splashing grand time.

It's summer time and with the temperature rising each day, I'm definitely going to spend a lot of time cooling off in my swimming pool. And so I officially proclaim the coming month "April Pool's Day."

Hey friends and cousins, come on over to my house for a pool party. Titos and Titas, you're invited too -- just bring some pizza for the pool boy -- my dad.
