Celebrating 16 years of pure love

............................

Good day!!

November 16, 2009, honey and I celebrated our 16th anniversary as a dating couple and
4th anniversary as a married couple. I met him when I was only 16 and now that I am already 32, he's still the one I get my kiligs from. It amazes me that half of my life I already spent with the man of my forever.

This year is such a special year for us. Aside from the 16th anniversary on the 16th of November,this is also the year we were blessed with an angel. Yes, after three years of longing to have a little one, we were given a little sweetheart we can call our own. The three of us are inseparable. Wherever one goes, the two will follow. and the anniversary was not an exception. My honey and I went out for our anniversary date, with a stroller in tow. ;)

We went to Megamall and first stop was Dairy Queen.
I dunno how how honey developed his love for DQ,
and I am not complaining. Pretty soon Migo will be
ordering one for himself.

I ordered the usual favorite, Oreo. Honey ordered
strawberry. While the little boy had to content
himself with his milk


Our gifts to each other.


The first time I saw a pair of these crocs suede-made flats some few weeks back, I was not able to sleep. I wanted it so badly because of the comfort it gives to the feet when walking. Yesterday, hubby gave it to me as his gift. Sweet!

I really thought Migo and he will be checking some stuff in some
boutique while I went to buy something from National bookstore.
Once done, I looked for them because they were nowhere to
be found. I was calling his both phones and he would not answer and I
was already fuming mad for he was in his phones constantly to attend to his work
how come now,he would not answer my call!! Few more minutes later,
the stroller was approaching carrying these flowers!! Awww, that was sweeter!!

We went to Gap and he eyed a nice polo, fitted it and left. He had second thoughts of buying it for it was "not practical". But it really looked good on him. So while he was buying something from Watsons, Migo and I went to Gap and bought
the polo. I gave it to him as a gift.

We then went to the Chapel to hear mass. To have each other for sixteen years is something really, really worth saying thanks for to that One above. For our last stop, we went to Dad's Eat-All-You-Can and had dinner there. Good thing our Migo was not that cranky anymore because he just had his nap that time. He was playing while we were enjoying our food. We went back and forth, back and forth. I was so excited to taste everything on the buffet table. I did not dare hesitate to binge and totally loose control of my so-called diet. That was such a bliss!

We arrived home at around eleven in the evening. Migo was in deep sleep already while the two of us were so tired and sleepy. I enjoyed the day so much and I look forward to more days like this.

Half-a-year of cries and giggles

...........................

It's been six months since I became a mom. I am so loving every bit of it. I so love it that going back to work now dreads me. Really, by this time, I should be going back to work, as in the real work. But I am having second thoughts still and I do not want to leave Migo to a yaya (which I do not have yet) for like, what, four or five days a week. It is not that I do not trust her, the yaya, but it's me that I do not trust. I do not know how will my mind work if I will be away from him in so many days a week. I might not be able to concentrate on my job. Yung trabaho ko pa naman, paper works mostly. I talked to hubby about going back to work and he has no problem with it. In fact, he is encouraging me to go out, pa-unti unti, so I can "get over" Migo and get used to not having him around even for just a while. Okay, let's see.

November 10, 2009-- Migo celebrated his sixth month. And I celebrated my survival, hehe...

Six months of crying loudly for milk, getting cranky when sleepy, toothless smiles, laughter that echoes around, hugs and kisses. Six months of pure bliss. Lavit!!

We had the traditional pancit for long life. Every 10th of the month, Elmer would bring home pancit from Kowloon house to celebrate Migo's monthly birth date. There must be a real, right term for it. Can someone please tell me how to call it? I am sure there are parents out there who celebrate monthly the way we do, with pancit and all, and I wonder how do they call it?

Six months from now and our little Nigo will be a year old. How time flies!! If only I could stop the time, I definitely will. I do not want my Migo to grow up yet, and yet it is happening real fast. So fast that I am afraid I won't be able to catch up.

I really hope he stays to be the cuddly, cute, smart baby that he is.

The first solid food experience

..............................

Bon Gourno!!


I excitedly waited for the sixth month to arrive for it is the month I supposed to give my little one solid food. November 1,2009 to be exact was his first taste of solids. We were actually in Holy Cross Memorial Park obviously for the All Saints Day and it was almost like a fiesta with the amount of food served. I eyed a chicken macaroni soup, one of my favorites, and scooped a generous amount for myself. I found Migo, who was just beside me, watching and as if salivating for what I was having. I just then found myself giving him some of the soup and he was so liking it. My titas encouraged me to give him some of the macaroni, but I was having second thoughts for he might not yet be ready for that kind of solid (solid for me then was just cerelac and mashed vegies). One of my titas grabbed my spoon, smashed the macaroni into a smooth texture, put a bit of a soup to just make it kinda slimy, and put it in Migo's mouth. Migo finished everything and he was asking
for more!!

Right there, I learned my son was really ready for some solid food.

Monday, the day after, I cooked lugaw for my little one. I figured I should give him food with less to almost no taste at all so he would not be too picky with his food. I prepared lugaw with no amount of salt or sugar in it, I just made sure that it was really soft and tender for him. I had no solid food stuff on hand that time for I was not yet able to buy his bowl and spoon so we just content ourselves with an adult plastic bowl and a teaspoon. Migo had no problems with that. He finished one serving till I saw signs that he was full.

Giving solid food came so handy for us. Migo was ready for it that introducing solids to him was like giving him something familiar already. He knew how to open his mouth, get the food from the spoon, swallow, and push out some if he was already full. And with the tasteless lugaw? No problem with that too. It was a fuss-free first time experience for me and my baby.

Christmas is coming!

..............................

Ho, ho, ho!!!

-Ber months always, always give me the chills, literally because of the cold weather and the other one is due to never-ending preparations. I love Christmas and all that comes with it and as a starter, I asked hubby to bring out all the big boxes full of christmas decors so to make the atmosphere a full-blown Christmas breeze. Glitters and balls messed the floor for like a week, but I did not mind cleaning them all up for I had pure fun, fun, fun arranging all of them.

Cheating is still cheating. Period.

.............................


My favorite magazine show, Sweetlife (airing every weekdays over channel 11 at 5pm),tackled about emotional cheating. For the longest time I have been thinking if cheating is classified only as physical cheating, meaning there is physical contact on whatever form involve.

"Whatever form" can be as plain and simple dating or as far and sinful as sexual intercourse. Does it always have to be "face to face" so to consider what they are doing is cheating? Madalas ko kasi marinig sa mga lalake na kung wala namang nangyayari between a man or a woman (whoever is married between the two), it is not cheating. So if like my husband texts his ex, and they text regularly for that matter, with "how are you?", "kumain ka na?" "i just arrived, you where are you?", "ingat ka lagi ha", etcetera etcetera to that effect, you men think it's not cheating? I believe it is. And I have been believing for the longest time.
