Little Karl

I was baptized last 08 June 2008 at the Saints Peter and Paul Church in Poblacion, Makati City, in a simple ceremony attended by our family and friends.

After that, I became one of the newest Christians in this world. It means I should be a good boy, shall love GOD above all, obey and respect my parents at all times, and never say a lie.

By the way, here are some of the higlights of the christening. More pictures are available at my Multiply account:

• I was sleeping during the whole baptismal ceremony and thus completely unaware of what’s going on
• My parents thought I’ll wake up when the priest shower me with holy water, but I did not
• Dad carried me during the ceremony since Mommy was busy attending to our guests
• The officiating priest praised my name since it’s easier to pronounce than other baby’s names scheduled for baptismal on that day
• We sat in the last row behind others scheduled for baptismal but were the first to had pictures taken at the altar since Dad ran fast for it
• And we were also the first to go out of the church which according to Filipino’s myth is a lucky vibe
• My godparents were glad to see me in person since they have only seen me from pictures posted in my blog
• We had our pictures also infront of the Barrio Fiesta with my ninongs/ninangs and other guests
• I enjoyed so much lying on the baby basket that I continued my long sleep there while our guests had their photo with me
• My guests were surprised to see my youngest Ninong and Ninang, Kuya Kim & Ate Lara (age 8 and 11 respectively)
• Ninong Gab had an impromptu stint as emcee during the “Godparents Wish” part
• Tita Mona had an impromtu performance singing “Hawak Kamay”, which everyone loved and enjoyed
• My ninangs can’t get enough of me and kissed me endlessly in my cheeks, tummy, and my armpit (It is so mabango daw!)
• Tita Clouds, Tita Toni, Tito Boyet, Tito Lumeng and Ninong Ken acted as our official photographers. I will post their photos soon
• Everyone wrote heartwarming messages in my guestbook which features my cutest photos and memorable firsts
• Everyone loved my souvenir, a clock with my pictures showing my cute little dimples and bearing the message “Jesus loves you”
• I received lots of toys, clothes, pakimkim, and baby things from our guests
• Kuya Kokoy enjoyed so much while inside the church, and kept on running and playing with other kids (maybe because it’s different from the church he used to go with)
