so adorable

She is just so adorable! She just turned 6 months last 27th. Time flies so fast and she now has 4 teeth! She eats anything and started to eat solid foods as early as 4 months. I just can't help but kiss her everytime I see her. Soon, I will have mine too! :)

Last Saturday, we had a celebration of hubby's 32nd birthday. Actually, we only had a family gathering since all of his relatives were there. It was just a simple one but we had a lot of fun. There were drinking (as always), eating, and a lot of singing. I retired at around 11:30 PM but hubby together with his cousins ended at 1AM. I was so tired since we helped in the preparation of the foods which started at 8AM.

Since everybody was busy in their own business, we forgot to take some pictures. When I decided to take some, I only got one since the battery went dead. It's good to know that the only shot I got was with my fave cousin and aunt. :)

January 5 was hubby's 32nd birthday. Due to an unexpected thing that happened, we were not able to celebrate his special day. But, on the other hand, it was a "bonding time" for the two of us since we were together the whole day.

By the way, I won't forget this day not just because something bad happened rather, I learned a valuable lesson. In this life, we always want to do our best in everything but we should be also be ready to those who will criticize and pull us down. We cannot stop them from doing that but we can always prove them wrong.

At the end of the day, though it was not that pleasant I still managed to thank GOD for giving my hubby 32 fruitful years. What happened was just for a day so we can still celebrate on the other days. So, why dwell on that day when we can still be happy on the next 364 days? We will just make it up on his 33rd birthday I guess! :p

ChrisTmaS 2008

Christmas Day has passed and the new year is fast approaching. I waited for this (Christmas) special day for several months and yet, it just swept away. Sometimes, we all expect this day to be extra ordinary wherein fact, it is just a simple day. Christmas for me is not just for a day, it is actually everyday! What we do during this day can also be done on regular days. This may not mean to give out gifts everyday but we can do simple good deeds on our everyday life.

When we attended a mass on December 25, Fr. Homer shared to us a very good message. He said that the message of God is just simple - going back to basic. Christmas is about being like a child. That means, being contented and satisfied on simple things. He used the children as a very good example. As we know, when we were a child we had no problems and we are worry free. As long as we can cry, eat and sleep we are fine. Unlike now that we grow older, we think about a lot of things. We entertain a lot of problems and most of the time makes us unsatisfied and not contented with what we have.

During the sermon, I was also contemplating and try to relate it to my personal life. Whenever I feel stressed out, I try to relax. Some of my things I do are : playing pc games, watching movies, surfing the net and playing to kids. These are just simple things that are proven to be effective. As they call it, these are called "theraphy". This is my way of being a child. Worry free and happy.

I hope that each of us can also take some time to be like a child. Be simple and contented since that is what God wants us all to be.

By the way, I wanna share some pictures taken during Christmas. Simple pictures and yet captured my attention.
