The Year. Thumbs Up. =D

2010 is my year, indeed. It was the year when major changes took place in my life. But when I really think about it, they're not really super major changes - just a shift to the usual family, work, church routine... because now, it's more like a new family, a new company, and a new baby. =)

It was the year when I loved... lost... and gained. And now, it's 2011. What's in store for me this 2011?

Personally, I'm only hoping for the best... for all of us.....

By all of us, we mean me, Daddy, and Marky.

I haven't really thought out my New Year's resolutions. So maybe, it's safe to say that I don't have any. But I do have New Year wishes. Some of these are as follows:

- That I get some extra raket at the company I'm currently with, that will not interfere with my play times with Marky. (Thankfully, I was offered a news writer post for our weekend show, and here's a stint where I was offered a segment producer position but it's just not there yet... so it's, like, an early thanks and I promise to be good at them!)

- That Daddy finally gets to teach na. (He's now on the way to resigning from his current company... I hope it's for the better. Our fingers are crossed.)

- That Marky will get to have some more nice clothes, nice books, and nice toys to play with. (Now I understand why there are some people who just can't resist buying those chic toys and kid's books even when they'd most likely go to charity soon. Babies and kids do need to play, and sometimes, adults, too.)

- That I get my planned pixie cut and new stuff as well. (I know Daddy doesn't exactly like the idea, but he's entertaining it... just that, we're always saving all our money right now for Marky's milk and baby food... so I kinda hope we'll be able to save some extra so that I can get my own stuff.)

- That we get to own a laptop na. ('Nuf said.)

- That we as a family would be able to really go out na as planned every Sunday, to church to hear mass, and then, to some nearby park or shopping mall (there'll be time for it even if I work on weekends, since my duty's 4pm pa naman.)

Daddy's making silip na, and I'm hungry, too, so I think it's time to say time's up. =)

God speed!

On My Baby Naknak's 5th Month (Happy New Year!)

It's been quite some time since I last posted... my apologies 'cause I've been so f***ing busy at work these days... as in!

Anyway, Marky's turning six months next week. So this may seem like a conclusion to how he's been during his fifth month. Well, here goes.

Fifth month for Marky has been so memorable. For one, it was the time when he had his first Christmas and New Year celebrations. Second, it was also when he went to Mommy's office! Yep, he was the apple of the eye when his Daddy brought him to visit Mommy in the office. Mommy had needed an escort because it was TF day and at the same time, Christmas bonus day. So, Daddy sort of thought it was the perfect time to bring along Marky also.

My workmates were all in fun quandary when they saw my son. But Marky got all stressed out and cried... he's apparently not used to seeing so many people get abashed by him. Just as our show was ending, I brought him upstairs to the control booth. He was so mesmerized by the many TVs, the many buttons, the many sounds, and the serious faces of the people around, who were throwing winks at him! We were joking that he was the one who actually directed the show.

Then, when Mommy's about to get her dough, Marky was left to the care of the reporters, who, thankfully, played very good nannies to him while I and his Daddy are not around (Headline: News reporters ng TV5, may bagong karir!). After that, we took him to SM Novaliches where we shopped for Noche Buena as well as baby stuff.

Fast forward to Christmas celebration... I think Marky knows something's up, because he can't sleep in the hours before 12 midnight... he just keeps on playing and calling, "Mimi" (that's how he calls me). And, when 12 midnight strikes, we dressed him up and we went to his Lola's which is just a few blocks away from our abode. He was so scared of the fireworks! Too scared, in fact, that it sent him feverish that he had no choice but to fall asleep in Mommy's arms, while clutching on to Mommy's shirt.

Come New Year's celebration, Marky's a lot better because this time, he took a nap before 12 strikes. Good for Mommy, because I had to cook media noche. And then, when the pretty fireworks started coloring the sky, we armed him with a cotton each in his ears and a towel on his nose and mouth, and we urged him to look at the fireworks. He's so confused he doesn't know where to look first! It was very funny. And then, when the fireworks ceased, we pulled the guests inside for some media noche and drinks. Marky played host to the guests - he was quite a chatterbox and he entertained the people with his tongue sticking out and his spit showering on all of us. By 3am, he motioned to Mommy to put him to sleep, and after ten minutes, we're in bed, sound asleep.

Right now, he's sick... with colds, cough, and a slight fever that goes on and off. We blame it on the weather. Even I was feeling down and out right now... every time I go to work, I feel like I'm very, very sick. He's currently undergoing medication and we hope he gets well soon so he'll get to enjoy his mid-morning hot water baths again.

Happy New Year, peeps!

Love from: Daddy, Mommy, and Marky!
