Stay at Home Mom not an easy job after all.

Published by

Deciding to quit my corporate job 2 years ago was an easy decision. I want to Vierte to grow up with his Dad around and I don’t want to continue having to worry about unanswered calls and messages. Friends would say that I will have sort of an easy life being out of the busy life of an 8hr job. I thought so too…but boy they were wrong! Days come and go and I would think that I have not accomplished much and definitely a few “me” time that would most often times lead to an hour or so of drama. My housework starts at… 530am – prepare breakfast and packed lunch 630am – have lovely breakfast chat with C  700am – clean up kitchen, C off to work 800am – house cleaning (if V’s still asleep) 900am – V have his breakfast1000am – get back to cleaning while V watches his cartoons1100am – V bath time, playtime with him, read books1200pm – prepare lunch (V and I usually have left over meat and grilled veggies)0100pm – clean kitchen, clean bathroom and …

ayayay…mommy totally didnt’ find any spare time to update what the little man has been doing lately, without further blah let me beginmeet the cousinsAte Aya and Kuya Kevin arrived from Davao mid July to fix their US transit visa to Majuro, finally after 4 long years they’ll be spending time with dad Tito Aries. Its the first time that Vierte got to meet his cousins’, at first he didnt like the attention given to Ate and Kuya and he showed his protest by crying and too clingy to all of us, but the next day he was all well and was playing with the cousins. Prince Michael is the youngest cousin on Daddys’ side and when they were introduced he didn’t allow me to touch the baby and also got upset when Lola Let carried the little one to have their photo taken. Seloso! mana sa mommy. 🙂1st Carnival ridesa farewell treat from Lola Bing to Ate and Kuya was spent at Fun Ranch where the kids had much fun. Vierte had his first …

the joy of walkin

Mommy and Tita went shopping last week for your 8month gift, we we’re arguing between buying you a musical toy or a walker. We ended up buying a walker, and when you saw it your sleepy eyes brightened up! hehehe…At first you only sat and played with the balls after a while you stood up and move forward, surprised by the movement you cried 😦 pero the next day you we’re all over the house. Kaya kailangan na i-move yung mga things ni lola bing out of your way and reach. Right now, mas nahihirapan na rin ako umalis ng bahay kasi hinahabol mo na ako. By the time you see me go inside the bathroom you walk to the door and tap it till pagbuksan kita. And when you see me carry my bag you reach out and say “mama nanan.” You’re Daddy suggested that I leave when you’re asleep nalang. You seem to like nice voice’s particulary yung matataas yung tune. Whenever we play the high notes you give us that smile and …

Father’s day lunch

Published by

Since Daddy is working far away we celebrated Father’s day with my Lolo Junior. Mommy and I bought Krispy Kreme donuts for Lolo to which mom later recalled is not allowed to eat to many sweet food, yikes! We we’re also in for a surprise when Lola Let told us that we’ll have lunch at TriNoma to celebrate fathers day with my ate Cj’s family. Sadly we waited for almost two hours to be seated ang dami kasing tao! While waiting Tita Crist and Tito Jack helped me walked and I really had fun.We had lunch at Gerry’s Grill, well the adults did while I was enjoying my homemade mashed squash. After having my dose of vegies I was all set to play with my tita’s but then it was also time to go home. Oh well, till the next visit! Happy Fathers day Daddy! Mommy and I miss you much!

It has been a month since Vierte had his taste of solid food and im happy to report that he’s such a foodie. Now he eats rice with veggies or soup, and joins us during meal time kasi he has his own highchair na which we bought at Landmark Trinoma after visiting his grandparents. Well it took a while for us to buy his chair kasi I already had in mind a highchair na made of wood that we can also convert to table and chair, we saw one at MotherCare Shangrila pero super expensive (6k) then a Mommy Bong told me she bought one from SM for a reasonable price (2k) pero when I checked SM out of stock na kaya buti nalang Mommy Cheiz saw one sa Landmark kaya binili na namin agad baka maubusan ulit. So far his favorite food are Kalabasa, Rice with sinigang soup, Sayote, Marie biscuit, Graham cracker, Banana, Papaya, Avocado and Watermelon. Yesterday his Tita Badet had a crazy idea of feeding Vierte ampalaya since its one of …

At the foot of the bed their I found him, his head lying on her Tita’s laptop bag his hands grabbing the handle while half his body was in bed, susme! I immediately grab him then he started to cry and laugh afterwards.Thanks to his angels nothing bad happened.

Love You Forever

Published by

Made a trip to National Bookstore and bought myself a copy of this book, read it to Vierte that night and I was teary eyed once more.I read the poem/story below from Ms. D’s site, I got teary eyed after. Love You Forever by Robert Munsch A mother held her new baby and very slowly rockedhim back and forth, back and forth, back and forth. And while she held him, she sang: I’ll love you forever,I’ll like you for always,As long as I’m living my baby you’ll be. I really really recommend that you buy the book, that’s why I cut the story short.
