a friend hears the song in my heart and sings it to me when my memory fails

growing up

You are in your third-day of kindergarden. And I felt something was missing in my routine. I was not seeing you anymore during lunch time coz you're spending almost the whole day in school. I was missing you again even if we are seeing each other every night. Once again, you've grown without us noticing it and we have to adjust to a new you. I don't have a baby anymore. I feel like sooner or later, you would be sleeping over at friends houses and that I'll see less of you and I can't help but feel some regret coz it was like I have you but I don't. Now I realize why parents always feel nostalgic about their children. Its because the passage of time is so fast and before we know it, you guys have grown and left the nest. That it was only yesterday when I was carrying you down the stairs and now you're tall enough to hold the banister and go down the stairs yourself. I keep looking at you and asking "Who is this little person?". You leave me in amazement and wonder, every single time. And I always find myself adjusting to this new you and learning the ropes of being a parent. Keep strong my babyling, stay as affectionate as you are and know that you'll always be my baby.

update! update! update!

That was a long break! Things were just happening so fast and events one after the other that hopefully we'd have some respite in a few weeks time... well, I have so many updates, dunno where to start... might as well take it from the wedding again...

MORE WEDDING VIDEOS
Thanks to our videographer, Buddy Gancenia, we would now be able to direct you to a link that would show the on-site wedding highlights. For your info, the on-site wedding highlights mean that all the video footages taken before and during the ceremony is edited while the reception is happening and it was shown before the programme ended. IT IS EXCELLENT!!! And very touching indeed. Great work Kuya Buddy!!! Thanks to you and your crew. Could not say anything else! So click away on these two links and enjoy...

BABY UPDATE
Am on my 19th week, and heading for the 20th this week so our baby would be 5 months. And its another BOY! His little thingy was sticking out quite prominently so could not be mistaken that there would be no girls this time. I would not deny the fact that we wanted a girl for a change but having two boys would be, as my hubby pointed out, a riot. Am thinking of making the whole house baby-proof as before. But looking forward to holding a little bundle again experiencing the joys of motherhood once more. Am due on end of August so watch out for more updates soon... Here's a sneak peak anyway... 8 weeks, 11 weeks and 18 weeks respectively...



BUENOS AIRES
Yup! Was in Buenos Aires for the whole month of March. Hubby eventually joined me later on and just enjoyed staying in the city. Its a great place to live in, a combination of European and Latino living. Was able to practice a bit of my spanish although I don't think that exercise would actually help me with my exams tomorrow. Crossing my fingers hard!!! Steak was of course excellent, leather was divine and tango was passionate. The people are very friendly and helpful although the streets were littered with dog s**t. hehehe. We loved Palermo Soho a lot and I regretted not taking a loft in that area. Puerto Madero was sassy and enjoyed the wonderful restaurant, Casa de las Lilas. I love Prune bags and I was so happy with my leather jacket too. Hubby became shopping-crazy that we ended up taking the city tour at the last day. More stories as I try to organize our photos... as if I had many!?!?
PAUL TURNED 30
Hah! Finally it was his turn. Threw a party for him last 31 March with family and friends. It was a costume party but some got shy and didn't let their feathers show but those who did, were FABULOUS. Although I think my son outshone his father a bit when they came and it was really great! Thanks to all those who helped and cooked! As I said during the party... I HEART YOU!!! For those who came and made it special for him, thanks a million!!!
More updates coming soon... promise!!!!
