Note: Mommy and Baby are tigers... Daddy's a rooster. =)
The Tiger
Magnetic, passionate and grand! When the Tiger does anything, it’s noticed! Indecisiveness and stubbornness can mar the sparkle of the Tiger personality. On the one hand generous, on the other hand a little mean, it’s sometimes hard to know where one stands with the Tiger. Flexible, honest and truly entertaining, one has a friend for life with a Tiger.
Forecast for 2011 Most Tigers will be feeling quite pleased and energized at the end of their own year in 2010. The Year of the Rabbit will be another positive year for them. Romantic matters are particularly to the forefront, with many born under this sign deciding to get married or to take the relationship to the next level. Single Tigers will have many chances to meet a partner with June to September particularly well aspected. If they have faced recent personal trials and tribulations, 2011 will prove to be a much brighter year. Financially, the Tiger will most likely see an increase in income, either due to a pay rise or an unexpected windfall. With careful planning and budgeting, they can enjoy this monetary increase whilst easing financial burdens. Hobbies and outdoor pursuits will also interest the Tiger this year and will provide relaxation and a social setting, both of which will suit him just fine. Travel and spending holidays with friends will be a focus during late spring and also August and September. If there is a dream location he’s always wanted to visit, this is the perfect year to do so! A house purchase or change of home could very well feature on the cards also. This will be an exciting rather than overly stressful development and Tigers should thrive in their new environment.
The Rooster
The Rooster is always popular, extravagant and creative. They can be brutally honest and generally like being showered with attention. They are wonderfully loyal friends and also give advice freely – whether they are asked for it or not! Family means the world to the Rooster and they are one of the most loyal signs in the Chinese zodiac.
Forecast for 2011 The Year of the Rabbit will be a much quieter year than 2010 for the Rooster. However, the Rooster will have to curb his natural exuberance and enthusiasm just a bit in 2011 and practice some patience and common sense. On the work front, it will be vital for the Rooster to work closely with his colleagues and practice his networking skills. This will stand to him during the months of March, April, November and December when unexpected developments happen . All the work he does now on the career front will pay dividends in 2012, the Chinese Year of the Dragon. The Rooster should also consider any opportunities he may have to study or for training. This would go extremely well for him and again benefit him greatly later on in the year. On the social and romantic side of life, this will be a much more settled and quiet year, which will be to many a Rooster’s liking. March, July and August look to be the most active on the social scene. A word of warning though – the Rooster must take care to temper his words with friends and not be too harsh. A quarrel or end of a close relationship could result. Financially, the Rooster may have a few home-related expenses this year with repairs, decorating and renovations. It would be wise to manage any project sensibly and shop around for the best deal; Chinese Rabbit years can be expensive for all signs. On the whole, 2011 looks like being a pleasurable and encouraging year for all Roosters.

On My Baby Naknak's 4th Month
This post is somewhat belated already... It's actually been quite some time since I last blogged... been catching up on stuff that I have to do, have to finish... mostly work stuff... so that's it.
So, how's Marky lately? Well, I think the highlight of this month was when his Daddy got chicken pox, and Marky had to sleep at his Lola's. I really missed him! It took a week before Daddy finally recuperated, and while he's not, we did get to sleep soundly (finally!) during the evenings, but it's not restful sleep because we're worrying about our son who's not with us....
Oh yes, we do trust that his Lola also know what's best for her grandson. But then, his Lola has many children, and we really couldn't discount the fact that there'll be times when Marky would not be taken care of as he should. True enough, when he's back to us, he's got these mosquito bites all over his face and his body, and he's got cough and colds that would often wake him up during the night and send him crying. Neighbors have been commenting, "Ay, 'di inaalagaan ng Nanay...." It was a tough realization. Whatever happens to your son, whether it's your doing or not, it would still boil down to the parents.
Anyway, so how's Marky now? Oh, he's grown big now, very big, very round, very chubby, and very kulit! He wants play times more than ever now. And he loves it when he's made to tumble, fly, whatever. And sometimes, he even shoos his Mommy away when she hugs him at night! But after a while, he'll cry, and he'll look for his Mommy and Daddy's hug once more....
He now knows when the person carrying him is sitting down or resting, and he dislikes that! He would do what I call, "Alive, alive," and would really summon the person to stand up....
He now wakes up at 7 or 8 am everyday. Yes, let me emphasize that, EVERYDAY! Sleepy or not, he has too... that's the time when his body is, sort of, summoned to defecate. It's like a system already. So after he dirties his nappy, and gets his Mommy to clean it, he gets wide awake, and Mommy has no choice but to play with him! I take in a cup of coffee first, wash Marky's baby bottles, and then, dress Marky up. Then, I'll get his cloth nappy, and out we go to wherever Mommy's feet would go! Usually, when we go back, Marky has fallen back asleep, and it's already 9am. So, what does that mean? Time for Mommy to prepare for work!
The same goes for weekends. But today, when Marky's back to sleep on our bed-bed, I washed the dishes and then, some of our clothes in the sink. Afterwards, I went back beside Marky, but I didn't fall asleep at first. I just stared at my cute, handsome sleeping baby, wrapped in my arms, with a sweet smile spreading across his face sans his closed eyes......
I just felt someone tap me on the thigh. It's Daddy. He says it's time for lunch. Gosh, I've fallen asleep, indeed. I rise up to get mine. But when I looked back inside the room, Marky's eyes were already wide open, like he was wondering why he's there. Then, his head moved, his eyes, too, and his eyes got fixed on the door - there's Mommy, staring at him! He laughed, and motioned for Mommy to (pretty please) carry him.....
Baby, Mommy and Daddy love you. We'll do all we can to keep you happy, safe, and healthy. 'Hope you'll be a very good boy when you grow up.....
God speed.
