A life without love in it is like a heap of cold ashes in a hearth, the fire dead, all warmth and laughter gone, and no more light.

Pretty Please... 
Kenny and I drove to Michigan late last night to attend the christening of Rhyss Matthew today. He is the first born son of my friend Marlica. We got there at around 3 am but he was wide awake so we got reacquainted right away. He has really grown so much since the last time I saw him about 5 months ago. I visited them a few days after Marlica gave birth to him and even took care of him for a couple of days when my friend had to be readmitted in the the hospital for a few days. It was a learning experience and a rude awakening at the same time. 
I now understand why new parents consider sleep as a luxury so hard to come by especially during the infancy stage. The crash course pretty much cooled off the "baby fever" thing for me for a few months. Nevertheless, it was still a joy to take care of Rhyss even for a short time and I'd do it again in a heartbeat.

Rhyss was the only one baptized so it was a short and private ceremony. 
It was officiated by a Filipino priest. I was one of the 10 godparents although not everybody was in attendance. The reception was at a restaurant that catered Filipino food. There was a lechon which I asked Kenny to take a picture of before it got mauled. It tasted good but I still believe that the lechon in the Philippines is the best. There was a lot of food so I bagged some leftovers upon my friend's urging. Kenny just couldn't pass up on teasing me again about having my stash of food for the week. ){kind=icon}
We left around 4 pm (Michigan time) and 
I took over the wheel for the first few hours of the trip so Kenny can a take a nap. He drove for the last two hours while I was chatting away on my cellphone at the backseat. The trip was about 5 hours long but we got home around 8 pm ( Illinois time) since we gained an hour on our way back. We decided just to relax for the night and maybe watch the DVD that he borrowed from Jonathan. He has been asking me to see the Kung Pao movie with him. It's supposed to be really hilarious. We'll see about that.
