Come join us in our nesting place.

This was what I posted at Our MKs.

And I mean every letter of that post.

Happy 7th Anniversary, Love.

Til now, I’m still amazed at how blessed I am for having you in my life. I love you forever.

Some mornings. I’d wake up to my son’s pat, asking if he could be a frog or a worm or some animal. Today, we started the day with him kookaking on our bed. And me pretending to be the mama frog, too. I don’t know if that’s unsual to others but I’m so used to us pretending to be some animal family  (with the inItiation of my first born). :-) We’d be a family of dogs sometimes.Or cats. Or worms. Or whatever he fancies. Sometimes, he pretends to be my pet and I willingly obliges to be the owner.  With this “role playing”, I hope to be  teaching my son the values of caring for some pets, something he cannot have at the moment due to his asthma.

Now speaking of pets, I am not aware that in some countries like the UK, animal insurances i.e. equine horse insurance are already offered. Not until now. I’ve learned that if you’ve got a pet i.e.cats, dogs, horses etc., you may already get a cat/dog/horse insurance coverage for their  protection (and your protection too!). Amazing! 

This note is my reminder.

It never fails to put a smile on my lips but it also keeps me trying to be the best mom I can be.

On Valentine’s Day, everyone in the house received a note made out of a recycled bond paper with a message saying I-love-you written in red pentel pen.

My firstborn, who’s also my date on Valentine’s, made these notes. When asked why, he replied with a resounding “because it’s Valentine’s Day today!” So sweet of him. Really. And I’m totally touched (even if I constantly receive Iloveyou notes from him.

BTW, there’s also one note for Nanay and Tatay but I couldn’t find it na. And then there’s one for my sister’s friend (and our neighbor), which I believe my son has a crush on. Lol.

The year is about to wrap up. Oh what good have I done in 2010? A lot, I hope. *smiles* Really. Because I always try to do my best in everything. But then if my best isn’t enough, then there’s always tomorrow for me to work on that.

I’m excited with what 2011 will bring for me and my family. I’m praying for great things. Actually, we have lots of plans in the coming year. Big plans, small plans. Short term, long term. A lot. Like the other day, I told my sister, the one who works in an IT firm and plans to transfer in a bigger firm like First 4 IT perhaps, we have so many plans that it’s better to lay them one by one and “talk them over bottles of vodka.” *grins sheepishly*

Now as mush as I am thrilled with what’s going to happen in 2011, I’m anxious, too. Because some of our plans involve our careers. For instance, my sister wants to make a career move i.e IT support London or somewhere where the pasture is lush and green.  Like her, I also plan to do that.  And this means, giving up our work, going jobless for maybe few months to pursue what we want. Going jobless makes me anxious. I’m sure my sister is, too. But Life involves taking risks sometimes. So I just have to cross my fingers, hope and pray for the best for all of us.

But yeah, we’ll have that vodka first. :-)

Happy Birthday to my brother Yet!

May God grant you always good health, active mind and a cheerful heart. God bless!
