Happy 2012! =)

2011 is about to end. I think it's safe to say that it has been a roller coaster year for me. To sum it up here's what happened for the past 364 days.

-I got pregnant
-Been broken hearted again.
-became stronger and tougher
-i cursed the dad of my kid to death... (lolz)
-been betrayed.
-my sister got married and we have a new member of the family- my bro-in-aw Paolo
-enjoyed the journey of pregnancy
-enjoyed sonogram so much.
-I gave birth to my handsome prince
-still learning and coping parenting thingy.
-celebrated my 1st birthday/christmas as a mom.

Whew! I do hope that this coming year will be better for all of us. I am praying for more love, good health and prosperity. let's get it on! Happy New Year everyone!

Things I learned from 2011

-People come and go, and life goes on.
-The other person always tries to be right, even when they know they’re wrong.
-Things happen sometimes, and you don’t always know why, but there’s always a reason.
-Procrastination will always come back to bite you in the ass.
-Honesty is the best policy.
-There’s never enough time for everything.
-Crying is okay.
-Sometimes you’re left alone to face a problem, and that’s okay. The people who are there after the problem are the people you know you can trust.
-People choose to grow up, choose to hate, and choose to act. But they never choose to love…it just happens.
-If you can love yourself and make God as your foundation for everything the, you have everything you/you'll need.
-Taking your own advice is hard. But if you can’t take it, how can others?
-Don’t make promises you can’t keep.
-Forgive, forget, and move on.
-Being a mom is the best experience every woman could have.
-Learn from your mistake and make sure not to do those stupid things again.

You go to hell!

Just another day... 2 days to go and ny na, before the year ends, I should leave/forget all my nightmares behind and magmove on na with my precious prince- Xian. No matter how hard I try, no matter how solemn I prayed to ease the pain.. Whenever maalala ko kung paano nya balewalain ang anak ko, haaay talaga naman kumukulo dugo ko. Hoy BOY! kung talagang may b***g ka talaga.. patunayan mo- BE A MAN! Stop being a liar! Face your troubles! Isama mo yun sa NY resolution mo. Have conscience naman! Lech ka, may araw ka rin! MAY ARAW KA RIN. HINTAYIN MO KARMA MO!

Merry Christmas!

This the season to be chubby...lalalafang..lalalafang.. ;) Today's Xian's first Christmas! tough he's too young to really appreciate the essence of it- I am so excited to dress him up for the feast! I originally planned to dressed him up ala Santa but the costume I found in Ebay were made out of fleece and he's allergic to that fabric. So here he is: My handsome baby!

Cutest Child Contest

I love kids eversince and one of my hobby (which is unusual) is collecting baby pics. Nah ah, I never dreamt of becoming a pediatrician but seeing a kids' smile is more than enough to make my day. Now, that I am a mom- it is safe to say that my son's captured moments are so precious, seeing them makes me feel uplift, amazed and happy. Being a fan of parenting sites, magazines or any baby related stuff, I saw a contest via FB for the search for "Cutest Child Contest" hosted by MomCenter Philippines wherein moms may send their kid's picture and the org. will choose who's the cutest based on the the following criteria: 60%- originality and concept of the pic, 40%- number of likes and shares. Then, ohlalahlah! I saw Xian's pic the night after my cousin's wedding that's why here I am now, starting to collate votes through a vigorous campaign, as in todo pangungulit.. =) I just hope my son will win the contest... Hmm.. out of 6 entries that I sent to the MC moderator, they chose the one where my son looks so astig with matching thumbs-up and celtics sando. I'm so proud of you baby! Mommy will do her best for you to win the most number of likes..(i am a self-confessed stagemom..) ^^

Xian's 3rd month

Happy 3 months baby! Mommy loves you so much!!!!!!!!!!

My Xian Castiel

To my dear son,

You are sleeping on my lap as I am typing this letter... You bring me so much joy anak and I'll never get tired telling you this: I love you.. you are my life-- the fulcrum of my life! I'll do my best to be a good mom/dad/friend to you. 10 minutes ago, I created a gmail account for you, I will be sending you letters, pictures, videos- anything else about you! Soon, when you know how to read, I am sure that you are going to enjoy reading your "journal" written by your loving mommy. I promise to give you my pregnancy journal as well so that you'll understand each of every bit of what's going on w/ us (me, you, daddy, grannies etc.) when u were still on my belly. Do you know that I am staring at you right now while i'm typing this? I can't help but say na ang cute, cute, cute mo! Ang haba...and bibo p.. I'm so proud of you baby. Again, mommy loves you!

Hugs and kisses,
Mommy

Rollover!

Another milestone: He knows how to Rollover! I was actually surprised because he's only 2 months and 24 days when we first caught him doing this on his own..=) However, cause we were so excited and delighted during his first, we weren't able to take a pic. So now, on his another attempt, finally....

What a strong bebe! Other babies can actually do this as early as 4 months (as written in some books) but Xian managed to lie down on his stomach even before he reached his 3rd month... Hmmm..I'm so proud of my son!

My 25th

Glory be to God... Today, I am officially- on my mid-20's!!! Today's celebration is far different from my previous birthday celebration for this is my first birthday as a mom. No more birthday blues for me on this year...yey! I must say, that Xian is the greatest gift I've received. Seeing him smiling at me every waking time is soooo priceless! So, I have to thank my son for making me feel happy 24/7. Anyway, we just had a simple lunch at home while mom and tita cooked some of my favorite foods (buttered shrimp, roasted chicken, bbq kawali, sinigang). I was even amazed at my tita's carbohetti, which stands for carbonara-spaghetti! Yeap that's right it's a mix carbo-spag sauce in fettuccine and it's 10++. Sobrang sarap! We had it for meryenda then ordered some pizza and of course, a birthday cake.

Birthady cake!

My son and the best gift I received from God

So, ayun... I reaaly had a fun, fun birthday. Looking forward for a happier me in the years to come... ciao! =)
