From Dawn Till Dusk

Don’t you just feel sad when things you’ve been meaning to do didn’t push through as planned? Well, much as I didn’t want to admit it, I do. I really do.

Over the weekend, we’re suppose to celebrate Nico’s fourth birthday somewhere out of town, in the company of close friends. It was a plan agreed and arranged for the longest time and we’ve been anticipating the dear day since it was firmed up since will be the first time in two years that my bestfriend of all time gets to see and bond with Nico. But for reasons very important, my bestfriend (whose based in Calbayog for the last four years) postponed her trip to Manila on a later date. A family matter that can’t wait not to be attended to, we understood the situation and decided to postpone the plans to a later date or whenever she’s in town.

Then Monday came, supposedly the start of Nico’s swimming lessons. Much as Nico is excited, I’ve been really looking forward to this day too because at the very least, my Little Boy would have something to be busy with while on school vacation. Just imagine how excited he was. The Little Boy usually have a hard time waking up early in the morning and yet, he’s up so early in the morning of Monday just in time for his 8AM swimming lessons. (Yes, we choose the earliest session since the sun is not yet that strong to bite on the Little Boy’s skin) But then again, Continue Reading »

Tomorrow’s the first Monday of April, and time for the PMN FamPics again. The theme for this month is Heavy. And miracle it is, because… it’s my first time to post hours ahead. Heehee. Because for the past months, I’m always one of those late posties.

Anyway, looking for photos to fit the this month’s theme was quite easy for me. Just think of my tabachingching Little Boy, and that’s definitely one heavy, heavy entry. There are so many photos to choose from actually. But these particular burst of photos below were the ones I’d be more than happy to share.

These are photos of me and Nico posing by our Christmas tree back in December of 2006. I just finished putting up and decorating our stuff toys-filled tree at the time, and as a way to feel a little better with my so called “labor of love”, I asked photos of me and the Little Boy beside the tree. But gee, Nico was darn too heavy to be carried at that time. He’s weighing around 19-20 kilos then (I think, or even more LOLz) and oh boy, oh boy, he was really heavy. I was just smiling all along when the shots were taken, but after a while, my back was really aching badly. LOLz. Continue Reading »

[It’s April Fool’s yesterday alright, but not really for the Mommy me. Yesterday’s my most treasured day of all, as it is this one memorable day that our lives were blessed with a little boy named Nicolas. Everytime this day approaches, I can’t help but be nostalgic. It’s been four years, and the memories were still fresh as to how everything came to be. Allow me to share this love letter for my Little Boy. For the world to know, how much I love him ]

My Dearest Nico,

It amazes me to think that it’s been four happiest years since we were graciously blessed by God in your being. Count to think of it, it seems such a short time. You were a tiny wee baby then (literally, as your preemie fragile body can very well fit a shoe box at birth) and now, here you are–all grown up!

Time flies so fast, isn’t it? I can’t even exactly remember how painful it was to go under labor, or the manner I’ve terribly shiver after the anesthesia had subsided after a scary emergency Caesarian section. All that’s very vivid to me, were mixed emotions I’ve felt the moment I became conscious and awakened by your innocent cries. They’re truly music to my ears because finally, I came to meet you in person after the long eight months of waiting. Continue Reading »
