Paterno: Frances Faye is born!

Dear Relatives and Friends,

Nas and Sharon proudly announce the birth of their daughter, FRANCES FAYE VERGARA ONA, who made her way into this world by caesarian section at 6:30 a.m. yesterday, 16 October 2007, at the Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital. She weighed in at a hefty 7.3 lbs., just about right for an Ona (a.k.a. a new Kennedy of San Jose).

New mom Shawie is doing very well, albeit a tad unhappy that she couldn’t immediately partake of all the food we were gorging on.

As regards the isyu Trixine is trying to brew, please be informed that the name FAYE means faith, confidence, trust and belief. More importantly, it is actually a variant of the names FAITH, and, of course, FE!

As Uncle Boogle so succinctly put it, “SIPSIP SILAAAAHHHH!!!”

Best regards,Aunt Chrissy

Comments from the MALOCA:

Empress Kathy: My court is complete …

Doc Leo:
…in the Ona Pina Tribe, it is customary for the female grand sibling to be named in a rhyming fashion with Fe.
An example is Frances Faye (Fe) V. Ona

Another example is Sophia (So-Fe-Ya) Joo
As to the other female grand sibling, Jaime, well it is supposed to have a rhyme too, I just dont know which Royal line it is connected to.

Tata: Will there be another christening for Jaime or maybe a new nickname?

Genealogy: Frances Faye Vergara Ona is the great granddaughter of Candeleria "Canding" Aguila & Leonardo Ona Sr., granddaughter of Sofronio "Proning" Ona & Fe Calanog, and the daughter of Sofronio Leonardo "Nas" Ona Jr. & Sharon Vergara.

Paterno: Jamie's first bday

A little typhoon was not enough to keep the Maloca's from gathering to celebrate the first birthday of Princess Jamie. And of course.... what Ona gathering would be complete without isyus....

Isyu # 1: Dress Code

Trix: Do we need to dress princess-like?

Isyu #2: Ang tattoo...

The glittter tattoo table was a big hit for young and old-alike. Even Uncle B couldn't resist its siren song.

Isyu #3: Si Cute na naman...

Trix: Saan manganganak si Tere?

Cute: Sa Alabang....... Alabang Town Center

Trix: Ahhhhh
