HERESHEIS!

I love this idea! It's my godchild, Zoe's baptism giveaways. I'm not really surprised that Zie would come up with this kind of creative sweet. She's always been way up there when it comes to unique gift ideas. Now that she's got little baby Zoe, I'm sure we can expect more of these. Welcome to motherhood Zie! It's a whole new inspiration for you to get by everyday :)

Doulos comes back

I was totally psyched to know that Doulos is coming back to Cebu. I can't miss this, not with my little bookworm. When my 2.6yo saw the big boat for the first time, he just gave out a silent "boo..." as if in trance. This floating book fair still has that magic vibe that embraces you the minute you hop onboard. 

We bought books and of course we wouln't miss out anything that spells out cars. I'm surprised to see Zaiid drawn into books that has more "words" or information rather than those which has big bold pictures and short phrases only. I think my baby has moved a step up even if he can't read a word. What can I say, we love books!

back in my bangs

At least the bangs would do the trick. I decided I needed something exciting so I cut it myself and tadaaa! Now I looked... new (?). Hmm I'm not really sure what word fits well so. We'll see when boredom atacks again. 

get well, my sunshine.

My 4mo has UTI - the second time now. I can't believe that after about 3 weeks from his first, he's getting it again. Our doctor adviced me to get him a urine culture so we'd know what kind of bacteria is present and so we'd know how to combat it. I didn't want to blog about my baby's situation because everytime I start to write, like right now, I end up getting depressed and helpless. How can he be sick? I must've missed a line in taking care of him... 

A week from now, we will do more tests on him to be sure there's nothing wrong with his kidneys or whatever parts that needs to be checked. Everyday I'm nervous. I don't want him to go through any pain or any test that could stress him. He only weighs 5.1 kilos at 4months, a very fragile little sunshine.

I don't want to make a big deal out of it and I am trying so hard to stay positive. And that at least he's just getting a UTI and not some kind of blood infection like his brother once had. Of course I made sure he wouldn't have that same infection - Akii's got the IPD vaccine this month. And in my perfect imagination, I thought that our BabyManghud is safe from any harm. But still...this. 

I can only sigh and pray. For now, we wait. We need your prayers...

it's an Amy Butler design!

I got this chic huggable bag from a friend last Christmas. I loved it the minute I saw the fabric's design. It was just until now that I found out that this is actually an amy butler fabric! I was browsing through her website and from a little patch I found a very familiar orange-y lovely design. Truly it was the same fabric from my bag! Weee I can't help but show it off! Have a look:

happy birthday world! welcome 2009!

Last year, I made a list of things I hope to achieve personally and as a family. It had been good, it always has. The blessings are immense and like every year that has gone, we all owe it to the Lord. Even the biggest challenge of coming back to Cebu -- from my boy adjusting to the new environment to the complications of my last trimester pregnancy -- we acknowledge them as gifts from above.

 

Thanking the heavens for the 2008 Presents: 

1. Our finest miracle yet came, the BabyManghud, Akii. Now thepuddinglove is complete!

2. Zaiid loving the adventures of Cebu and has grown into a fine bigBaby Kuya.

3. Our very own lot where we can build our home soon. 

This year is going to be big. It's going to be green, goofier, and stronger bonding ties.

For 2009, I ask for:

1. Good health for our family, especially the little ones.

2. Motherhood like never before! Bring it on! :)

3. Me to start my dream business and learn the craft I have always been inlove with. Start sewing!

4. Happiness, togetherness in dubai again.

Happy new year everyone! Let's give out our grandest hopes and dream away to make good things happen!!!
