part 4: what happened to me?

What ever happened to me? I got busy. Period. Forgive me, please (eyes ala Puss in Boots)!

It will be hard for me to back track from May of last year up to present, but I will be trying my best to recall the best moments of year 2011.

1. I received a lot of birthday greetings last year, I think I have received more than a hundred from Facebook alone! Rian had a fever, so aside from having Kool-Fever sticked to his forehead, nothing was extraordinary. I got a nice gift from Irvin, though - a Merrell sandals!
happy birthday, nanay!
2. Summer outing at Tanza Oasis!
















3. Family day at Tagaytay :)


4. Rian's 1st Birthday! From sesame seed to a little boy, my baby is growing up so fast. From a helpless infant to a dancing toddler during his birthday, I still can't believe that this little brat brought me pain, but even more joy!

happy birthday, baby!
We had the birthday party a day after his birthday. Suppliers include: Max's Restaurant for the food, venue, party needs; Leyo, Rian's ninong, for the ticket invite and souvenir magnet layout; Jorene, a colleague, for the ticket invites and souvenir magnet; and K Snaps by Kathy for the photo coverage. Our matching Ferrari shirts are from Divilandia :) and our matching Converse Chuck Taylor are from SM hehehe! Mine and Irvin's Chucks have been with us for, I think, five years already. Rian's Chucks is a gift from Nanay, Lola Norma.

5. Leng's balikbayan! Sonya's Garden + Army Navy = happiness!

a note to myself

I've been wanting...okay, that was an understatement...I've been desperately wanting to write. Write something, write anything, I tell myself. But I don't know, I just can't find the time to do it.

Of course I won't find time to write while at the office. My default status is busy and that holds true. True that I have sneaked some time to browse the web but it's mainly to check my personal mail and transfer funds or pay bills via BPI Express Online.

At home, I spend most of my time with Rian, scribbling with him and pointing to picture board books and singing with Steve and Blue or dancing with Barney. If he seems too busy to throw me a glance, I'd open my Facebook account to upload photos for my parents and my sister's family to see. Or read a book. Or watch a basketball game with Irvin.

Of hurried meals and missed night prayers, how can I find time to write?

But I realized, I am a writer, not only of this blog, but of the script of my life. I am THE writer and the best part of this is I get to choose what happens to me. So for now, yes that I do not like not being able to write a decent blog post because of work and of being a mom. But one day, I will be able to pick myself up, make a little spare time and gear up to my plans.
