My 2013 Christmas Wishlist

Finally! I have a time to blog! Later, I may hit the mall  to do some christmas shopping for the gifts or maybe, come home early and play with D. Oh I miss free time so much. I still have work until today, but our training calendar ended last tuesday, big relief it is! Looking at our ending numbers of 100++ training for the year made me realized that I worked so hard this year, thus I must reward myself. Yipee! I know i've been a good girl throughout the year so Santa (ehem daddy R) should visit me one of this days and deliver my gifts!

Pass the Exam. I am working for this exam for almost three years now, I put on a lot of resources for this exam and I am now in 38 days before the final judgement. Hopefully I will get this. Pray hard, but must study harder. Lol

I miss weekends. Since this semester started, I am rolling 7days a week. I miss my sabath days. I miss doing and thinking of nothing. I wish I can have one at least this christmas break. 

Been wanting a cute travel buddy for a long time, but I always put on hold purchasing one because of other priorities. But hey... I need this, and having this buddy will make me travels exciting. 

A body like this! Joke! I just want a trip to the beach. To see D running and jumping in the sand and playing with the water is a joy for a mom like me. A family bonding this christmas hopefully. 

Financial Stability for 2014 (period)

And what is christmas without shopping until your feet hurts so bad?! 

I know some of my wish cannot be bought by money, but I know God will always make a way. 

This festive season is a celebration for Him. 

Thank you Lord for blessing me with so much this year. 

Happy Birthday!

G, 

Conversations with D

Baby D will turn two years old next month, time flies so fast! and I must start planning for his 2nd birthday na! And his vocabulary is also growing fast as in I always ask people at home "sino nagturo sa kanya?!" haha because I am always not at home (sad face), but after January 26, I will make it up to him, promise!

Everyone is always amused!

If only I can stay at home and watch D grow-up.
Hay..

I am only so busy, but I will try to post my christmas wishlist.. ahem daddy R.

3Ds

Hi! ho! yeah, the bad blogger in me strikes again! Yesterday,  I asked R what supplement I need to take para magawa ko lahat ng gagawin ko? he said, "Kiss ko". Haha ang supportive talaga db? Oh well, where else can I find a guy that will love me like what he did noh?! I'm so blessed. I don't have the right to complain. 

Speaking of being blessed, I am so thankful na wala akong family na naapektuhan ni Yolanda, its so devastating. Grabe, hindi ko makayang manuod ng news, nakaka-awa. Oh well, this post should be possitive and full of encouragement since yun ang badly needed ko ngaun. If time will allow me, I will donate or personally give some breastmilks sa mga babies thats the only thing I can share aside from prayers. 

On a lighter note, baby D is picking up words so fast! and sadly i'm missing most of that moments (nega again!). On days na hindi ako nagmamadali, or maaga ako nakakauwi I get to interact with him. 

Me: Daddy Panget

D: Ayaw!

Me: E anu? 

D: Bogie! (Pogi)

Me: Ok, mommy panget!

D: hhmmhm 

*Amph! may favoritism na agad?! haha

Out of nowhere he will do:

Me: Whats the capital of Philippines?
D: Nila (Manila)

D: Benjing (Beijing)
Me: of Japan?
D: Koyo (Tokyo)

*Lolo G said, "yan na agad agad alam niya?! hindi pwede ABC or 123 muna?!" Haha kagagawan ko yan!

He's so cute! I swear! kahit anung pagod ko pag uwi ng bahay, nawawala talaga. Baby D is my source of inspiration to do well, to achieve more and work harder.

And why I am so MIA again?! a lot of things are happening lately so I am so lost. But I am getting the hang of if na. Imagine a week without a rest day? I can't imagine! nakakaloka because hindi ako sanay na walang sabath (signs of aging!), nakaka-depress because I have little time to spend and play with D and R during weekends, and honestly I am so overwhelmed with all the things that I need and must learn for the next two months.

I admit there are times that I wanna walk-out... and sleep and eat and sleep. The devil in my head is telling me that I don't need what I am working, spending money and time for . But the angel said "You are working hard for it for 2 years and 2 months nalang susuko ka pa ba?! This is for your own personal development and your family's future". Loka-loka lang ano?!

And thankfully, my sanity is back. I am back and I am willing to go back to track. I need to escape to my comfort zone now. It's killing me and making me expire soon.  I need to act now.

And now I am holding on to what my professor told us last meeting. All we need is 3D. And thats exactly what I need.

1. DISCIPLINE - I know! I always come to classes late and go home early. Thank you so much to my friends/classmates who reserve seats for me and kept me updated to important announcements I always miss.  I have a study plan that is left untouched for a week now. R hated me for making him buy lots of books that until now neatly covered in our room. And as much as I want to study the time I reached home, I have D who wants to play with mommy and sleep in my comfort so nakakatulog na din ako until morning. I have a lot of downloaded instructional videos that are left unwatched. What will I do?

2. DETERMINATION - This, I know I have a lot! R and baby D are my source of determination. Whenever I am so tired to read and study I just think of our future. Really helps a lot.

3. DEDICATION - Until now, I'm in doubt. I love to teach, but I am not still sure if I am fit for that. But, I wanna do it to prove something for myself. This is for me. I wanna prove to myself that I can do it.

And I know, I will do it with His guidance. I should not be afraid. I can do it.

Baby D @ Smile!

Been planning for this photo-shoot since baby d is still in my tummy. Haha gnun ako ka-excited! But, since R is always out of town, baby D is sometimes not in the mood whenever we go to the mall, so after 20 months, finally! 

Baby D has so much fun! I thought he'll be shy or be uncomfortable in front of the camera, but no he loved the flash, the picture-picture idea, the props of car pillows and teddy bear and the space. So the delighted parents are so happy that we forgot to take behind the scenes photos. 

So here's our little patootie cutiepie bunny. 

Our little monster! (this is actually in the middle of changing costumes)

We had so much fun! We will go back there to have our christmas photo, birthday and other celebration photos! haha. The staff are so helpful and accommodating, each photo costs only P150 with unlimited shots with free costumes and props.

SM Fairview, Annex

I'm so much Blessed

During those trying times of my life (na akala ko hindi na ako magkakabf), I always pray for someone who will love me. I waited for 3 long years... and I guess its worth the wait. 

Now I am so much blessed with R, who loved me more than I could imagine.

We have our adorable patootie little rabbit that teaches us how to be the best parents we could be. 

I couldn't ask for more. I am so much blessed. 

Heavy Heart and Bruises

Last night, I slept with a very heavy heart. I don't know what to feel or what to do, I am contemplating why? what did I do wrong? or what should I do to protect baby D. I may sound overacting, but trust me I did my best not to scold anyone from the household, maybe that is the reason I have a very heavy heart even this morning. As a mom, I cannot contain my anger, but I know, I may have my lapses too. 

Baby D is in the stage where he runs all the time, discover and explore everything! As in super likot naman talaga. In seconds his climbing in the table, chairs, running away from you. And I usually tagged his minor bruises in his feet, legs and elbow as parte ng kanyang paglaki. But last night, I went home to a toddler with a large bruise on his nose and face. I felt like crying, he's not "bogi" (pogi) anymore. But what made my heart broken is he even managed to demonstrate to mommy how he fell and point where is the exact place, so innocent that he didn't even know how mommy is worried. I am overacting, I know, because aside from the bruises, he's still so malikot and active, parang walang nangyari. I still received a powerhug and lots of kisses from my dear baby boy. But the overacting mommy in me thinking a lot of what ifs? hay.. 

Do you have any suggestions how can I prevent accidents at home? Our house is already childproof, but his favorite toy car is not. I am now full of questions what to do? what to buy? what to choose? and what to tell to A and Lola on how they could minimize baby D's accidents. Share please?

G, 

Baby D @ 21 months!

Baby D turned 21 months this October, he's growing so fast and learning like a sponge. He's also like a parrot that imitates whatever we say, he's turning into a so adorable baby that brings so much happiness into our lives. If only we can slow down time noh? and if only we can pause time so that they will be forever  our little cutie baby. Anyway, stage mommy here wants to document baby D's 21st month milestones (a.k.a kalokohan). 

Our little boy is still so possessive kay mommy, so whenever he see me and daddy R hugging and cuddling, hindi pwedeng hindi siya iiyak and sasali. KJ sa intimate moments.  

One day, we are looking for baby D, and we found him inside the box of his diapers. I know! hindi kami galit sa diapers noh?! That brand is also good for daytime use.

And who doesn't love chuckie? But weeks ago, I banned this kiddie drink because D always caught tonsillitis and sobrang hyper. One day, I went home early than the usual and saw this in the fridge. Binibilhan pala siya ng lola niya. #spoliedapotalaga

We also went to his first ever kiddie party. He got bored at first, pero when the kiddie program started natakot naman siya sa clowns! haha pero he enjoyed with the other kids. 

And guess who almost took home all the balloo (balloons) in the party? Even the table centerpiece, hindi pinatawad. #kaloka

And remember dedi? still the best friend and he shares car, What I don't understand is bakit ganyan niya pinapasakay? haha

He's know exploring things. And iba-iba na talaga ang trip. Gawin ba naman bed ang basahan? 

And look who's so happy with the Mcdo Happymeal? 

Even the mommy is so happy with the happiness of my baby D whenever we open the box. 

Happiness in the box talaga. Kaso namumulubi na ako sa allowance ko kakabili haha. 

my baby D is no longer a baby after his 4th haircut. Big boy na noh?

 Taken before I leave for Davao. Made me realize that no matter what material things we give to our child, what they need is our presence at home. Ouchie!

But we can always make-up for the lost time naman and make quality memories with our babies. Like this baby kulambo that we turned into a tent. D enjoyed it. A lot. 

What D can say @ 21 months. (additional words)

• Cho-cho (our dog choco)
• Tent 
• Kabayo
• Laiyo (Lion)
• Cahl and Josh
• Truck
• Tayo (the little bus)
• Coyo, Leli, Pato (Pocoyo and Cast)
• Puti , Led, Lu, Yilow, Gee (Colors)
• Jobee  and Getti
• Pepent (says "present" whenever you call his name)
• Diong (Deion)
• Gala (Mommy G)
• Gicky (Daddy R)
• Ninong Vivo (Ninong Yvo)
• Tol
• Ju (Juice)
• Lih (lights)
• Chukie

Dear D, 

You are longer a baby now, but you will always be mommy G's baby patootie. Mommy and Daddy loves you so much, we are sorry that sometimes we are not with you to play, but we promise that as long as we can, we will spend time with you baby. Thank you for the hugs and kisses that made our tiring and stressful days bearable baby. Thank you for being mommy and daddy's source of positivity and inspiration. We love you so much baby. 

mommy G, 

Why Babies are so Cute?

Do you wonder why your baby is so cute?

Do you wonder why God gave you a beautiful angel that erases your stress, worries, problems in just one smile?

Why are they so lovable? huggable?

Why do you need to carry them in your womb for 9 months, and you need to suffer sleepless nights just to feed them, to nurse them, to change their nappies and other mommy duties?

 A mentor told me "Because babies are designed to teach you as a mother and your husband to love unconditionally, to develop the bond with your child so that when they grow up your heart is overflowing with love that even if they get rebellious or disrespect you, so have more than enough love to understand, forgive and love them just the way you did when they are still your cutest baby". 

Agree? Make sense right? It's so true, sabi nga nila ang anak matitiis ang magulang, pero ang magulang hindi kayang tiisin ang anak. Whenever I look at baby D sleeping, I always wonder why am I given such an angel, considering all my boo-boos in life. Now I understand more why I have overflowing love for baby D, I am so blessed (of course with having R as well). And now I know why in the eyes of a mother, her baby is the most cutest and beautiful. 

Agree? share your thoughts why do you think babies are so cute?

Dipolog City Wet Market

Yes, Almost a month ago, I went to Dipolog City for a two-day training. This was during the Zamboanga City siege, I know! katakot kaya? R and my family asked me 10x if I really need to go, or hindi daw ba makakacancel? R even asked me not to go, takot lang niya mawalan ng asawa haha! But the people in Dipolog assured us that Dipolog City is peaceful and nothing to worry about. And true enough we enjoyed our stay there almost, If only baby D did not get sick while I am away. 

This is my second time to visit Dipolog, and this place is one of my favorite. Life is so simple. People are accommodating, the slow paced life made me relaxed and wanna stay chos! My first time here, we visited Dapitan and Dakak, will find time to post the photos, promise! But for this trip, we opted not to go out often, be better safe at the hotel ang drama namin. But, but since city life in Dipolog is so simple that their central market is just a few blocks from the hotel, dun nalang kami namasyal. I enjoyed! from someone na nag-iinarte na wet markets, I appreciate their market there. Hindi mabaho, wala masyadong tao, hindi maingay and sobrang fresh at mura ng bilihin. Sobrang nagsisi talaga ako at hindi ako namili ng maraming dried fish! I thought kasi kasing presyo lang sa manila haha bad. bad. Lemme show you the photos?? Sorry if walang captions ung iba, because this was almost a month ago, inatake na ako ng momnessia! (excuses!)

 

Public transportation is more on habal-habal. 

Freshness! I think this is tuna. 

Fresh dalagang bukid. 

Ganyan kalaki mga fish, parang buto ng pigs mga bones nila. 

Galunggongs!

Dried Fish for P70 per kilo (I thought pareho lang dito P120 per kilo pala)

Veggies are packed ready for kilawin! 

Seaweeds! P20 per kilo. 

Bananas!

Durian madness! we ate this by the sidewalk. sarap. (wag lang amuyin)

Our last night was spent out din naman. We went dinner to their famous dampa in Dapitan City. Yumminess the food. Mindanao and Visayas regions talaga are the best in fresh seafoods. 

Restaurant by the bay. During day, you can have lunch by the boat cruising by the bay. 

Native table settings. 

We love the packaging of the spoon and fork. Muntik na maiuwi. 

Spicy Crabs.!

This is heaven. Grilled banana split with vanilla ice cream. 

Dipolog and Dapitan City are one of the simple yet beautiful places i've been. Must visit. 

Mommy Sweetie is back!!!

I know! I've been MIA for more than 2 weeks and forgive me for my negative vibes last post. Work and school was hell. Now I understand the sentiments of parents working hard to send their children to school, working students who wish for more extra hours a day and of working mothers. At kung ang drama ni R ay "ang hirap magpaaral ng matanda" ako naman ay "anghirap mag-aral ng matanda ka na!" hahaha. R sent me to school and because my semester is officially over yesterday... I am now waiting for my reward, my Tory Burch Bag! I worked hard for that, yan ang motivation ko everytime pagod na pagod na ako from work at may papers or exam ako haha #kababawantalaga.

I am now so near, yet so far in my impulsive dream. When I was young, I really wanted to be a journalist specifically a broadcast journalist yan talaga ang ultimate dream ko. But when I entered college I realized I wasn't for that field and enjoyed being in Development Work. I envisioned myself leading an organization where I can help and empower Filipinos makabayan talaga ang peg ko. But fate has other plans, just before my graduation, my family needed me to support them financially so I need to look for a job immediately and landed to a position in training/hr function and the rest was history. I realized that training has a lot of opportunities to offer, but it needs constant improvement, there will be a time that you need to reinvent yourself so you will always have the competency. At dun ko na naisip and impulsive dream ko, to be a licensed teacher. And let's see what will this new field has in store for me. For now, I am waiting for my grades, and then I'll see if I should take the LET exam this January na, #prayinghardforsign.

Anyway, why is my last post so negative nga ba? this blog is supposed to be full of positive vibes and full of happy memories of my family and baby D. Ayun na nga, I'm back to travelling again, well I like to travel, thats why I love my job pero iba na pala if you are a mom na. It's so hard to leave baby D even if 2-3 days lang, specially when he's sick. I felt so bad that I wasn't there to comfort baby D in times that he needed me most and sobrang nakakaguilty when I went home with a pattottie baby and muntik na ako hindi makilala #workingmommyblues talaga. Iniisip ko nalang, I need to work to provide him all he need and all he want. Yun lang, we know naman that material things are not enough so I made sure that every weekend or nightime is a quality time with baby D. Minsan lang sila dadaan sa cutest stage na yan, and I don't wanna miss it kasi i'm studying, kasi i'm working, kasi i'm tired ayoko ng gnun so now I'm really.. really learning how to handle everything and muntik ko na nga makalimutan may asawa din pala ako haha buti nalang mahal na mahal ako ni R. (love you babe..!)

The last 2 weeks was so eventful, I had a lot of learnings, realizations and cute stories of baby D that I want to share. And sana the long weekends coming and my migration to another lappy will enable me to update this nearly forgotten online diary of mine. I have a lot of plans. Sabi ko nga, I need to reinvent myself, haha sana naman this is not yet a sign of midlife crisis. No not yet.

Today, I realized that we all have the power to say no if we feel or know that we have reached our limits. We are just humans that has limitations and we should know when to stop.  Kagaya ng pagkain sa eat-all-you-can dinner, you should know when to stop even if there are a lot of food choices that you wanted to try. There will always be another time and one should know how to prioritize, kung ayaw mo magsuffer ng impacho haha. Seriously, we can only take so much within our plate, and getting work more than your limit will just compromise other work. So we should learn how to say NO.

Laters,

G

My Mommy Woes

I love my job, I love to do trainings and traveling to diffferent places. I love the idea of exploring different areas and cultures. I am always ready to explore. I am always on the go. Until I became mother to baby D. Now, no more flight extensions, as much as possible I haggle to get assignments on areas that I can do fly in and fly out. Whenever we board the plane, I always pray na sana I can come back safe for baby D.

I still love my job, I still enjoy what I do and the fullfillment I get every after completed training, but I the guilt that I feel everytime I leave the house for a 3-4days trip makes me wanna think of shifting career or staying at home.

The idea of baby d crying at night looking for me or his dede (i still breastfeed) makes me cry alone at night. Am not a good mother because I always leave? I just want to provide the best things and better future to my son.

Baby D's Language Development

Baby D's language development is working so fast this month. Although may mga words pa din siya na hindi masabi at hindi ko maintindihan, nonetheless my fear na slow ng development niya ay napawi na. As a working and studying mom, hearning baby D say new words every day is a happy moment for me, kahit not so new na sa bahay.

My anu daw moments;

- - - - - - - -
I came home early last week, hence naabutan ko ang teledrama sa TV.
D: Nina! nina!
Me: Anu daw?!
Ung Anakarenina pala na teleserye! alam nya!

- - - - - - - -
One time pagdating ko sa bahay,
D: pam! pam!
Me: Anu daw?!
Magpupump pala ako! haha usually kasi pagdating ko sa bahay,nakadikit na yan sa akin I tell him magpupump muna si mommy ng dede mo ha? dun ka muna kay Tita A.

- - - - - - - -
While I'm bathing him, ang bilis kasi tumakbo..
Me: Slowly D!
D: slowwyyy

- - - - - - - -
Everynight, kapag gising pa si D nagbaby talk kami.
Me: Naligo ka ba kanina?
D: nknf;lafmne;l
Me: Kumain ka na ba?
D: lfenfameafml'l;amfla
Me: Anu ginawa mo kanina?
D: naen;fm;
Me: Anu daw? haha

Pero one time;
Me: Naglaro ka ba sa labas kanina?
D: jslfl; JO lsflekle Bike
Me: Anu daw? !
Haha naglaro pala sila ni Josh sa labas, si Josh nagbibike. At least he's making sense na.

And he's begining to imitate words, I'm so happy and impresed.

- - - - - - - -
Me: Say "Thank you!"
D: Thunks!
D: T U
hahahaha

- - - - - - - -
Me: Anu sabi ni Lola?
D: Blah Blah blah

Lolo: Anu sabi ni mommy?
D: Diong (Deion!)

Marunong na mang-asar?! hahaha

- - - - - - - -
He's playing with the water while i'm bathing him
D: Mamam
Me: No, water
D: Mamam
Me: water
D: mamam! mamam! mamam!
Ang kulit lang! cge na nga! mamam na!

- - - - - - - -
While baby D and Tita A are eating biscuits... e biglang naubos na
D: (run towards the tindahan) papay! papay!
haha nabitin sa tinapay? at alam na sino may sala kapag nalugi tindahan ng lola niya!

- - - - - - - -
While baby D is so naglilikot...
Me: D come here may sasabihin si mommy... (and I whisper I love you to his ears)
D: (Hugged me tight and kissed me)

Aw! really warms and melts my heart. I love being a mom!. 

Baby D is getting a handful already, I don't know if I should be worried or not. During sunday mass and his check-up at hospital even though he's the smallest among the kids there, siya naman ang pinaka-maingay at malikot. #teerible two na talaga!

Nalasing sa chukie! we were at the grocery last weekend, malayo pa kami nakita na niya si chuh (chukie) at naubos na niya hindi pa namin nababayaran. Hay baby... 

All is well, 

G

Baby D at 20 months!

Babies really grow-up fast! Four months from now, baby D will be celebrating his 2nd year birthday, yay! will I start planning for his 2nd year birthday? hay... I miss baby D's baby smell, well, I always miss his maasim smell everyday. Work, school and everyday traffic steals my bonding time with my bebeko. Guilty momma in me is missing a lot of his milestones. 

Baby D is so malambing, sometimes yayakap siya, minsan naman sasabunutan ako. 

Baby D's first time sa bookstore. Nakakaloka he wants to get all the books, at itapon sa floor. 

He steals my ponytail and used it as his necklace. 

Me: D where's the frog? (we have animals drawing at our walls)

D: went around the room and get coco (our crocodile) haha

At for Nth time, tinapon na naman niya phone ko, so I asked him to face the wall. Kaso nagpose sa wall naman siya. 

He wants dede, kaso I said kinuha na ng cat ung dede niya kasi bigboy na siya, so he hugged me to get his dede back. 

Someones is enjoying barney for the nth time! at nakataas pa talaga ang paa. 

Chocolates?

Like daddy like baby. I love you both!

And ohhh... baby no more. He can now eat on his own. Literally, I wanna cry when I saw him eating alone. He's now getting independent. Good boy, my Big Boy. 

And for weeks, I'm looking for his powder. As in muntik na akong bumili ng bago. And when I'm looking for his panjama, tada! tinago pala niya!

Baby D's language development is also growing fast! He can now say a lot of things aside from mommy, daddy, lolo, lola and bola.

• He's also masunurin, you can ask him to turn-off the TV, electricfan and lights. 
• Kapag nag-ring ung CP ko automatic kukunin niya un agad and will say "daddy,daddy"
• He's still into throwing things! specially cellphones. 
• He knew how to kiss na! pero selected moments lang. 
• He's into watching numbers video and alphabet videos

Un lang, he's weight is stunted. Since 13 months he's 10kgs. na, and his weight ranges from 10-10.5-11kgs. only. Panu he's so malikot and active. And I read somewhere that breasfeed babies are really lean. I wanna ditch the growth charts na nga sana, kaso he's pedia discussed the possibility of Primary Complex, and the idea itself is super scary for me. Hay wag naman sana, kaso he's not gaining weigth nga and he has history of frequent coughs. Praying.. praying...

Dear Baby D, 

You will always be my baby forever anak. I love you so much. And mommy will do anything to shield you. 

Mommy,
