Hirit Bata

Parang mommy lang...
I really should watch what I say cause chances are maririnig ko yun mula kay Yuro....

1.  Yuro said something that I did not understand so I asked "Ano?", akalain mong ang sinagot sa akin ay "wala, sabi ko maganda ikaw."

2.  Once, Yuro was talking and since I was doing something else, I just keep saying "oo"....ang sagot ni Yuro "oo ka nang oo diyan eh!"

3.   Yuro said "Mommy, halika lang"

       Me: wait lang (I was washing the dishes kasi)

       Yuro called me again, nung hindi pa rin ako lumapit, ang sagot niya..."Mommy, hindi ka ba susunod akin?"

ilang taon na lang, ilang taon na lang, makakatikim na ng batok sa akin itong bunso ko!


Tamang Paul
Eto ang mga proof na mana kay Paul ang mga anak ko ...nanalaytay sa dugo nila ang kapilosopohan...

1.  while Yuro was playing megablocks, he asked  "Mommy ano gusto mong gawin ko?"

      Ang sagot ko, "Kalabaw"

      when what I saw didn't look like a carabao to me, I asked "Ano yan?"

     Yuro said "Kalabaw. Di ba sabi mo kalabaw?"
      ba't kasi nagtanong pa ko eh....

2.  I was closing our gate when Yuro suddenly crossed the street.

     I ran after him and said "Yuro, hwag ka basta basta tatawid.  Eh kung masagasaan ka?"
     Yuro (nakangisi):  "E di patay.."
     kung di lang cute ang batang ito......

3.  While in the grocery kasama family, I realized na hindi ko na kailangang bumili ng sili.  Sabi ko" Ay, may bunga na pala yung tanim nating sili, di na ko bibili.  Maanghang kaya yun?"
     Sagot ni Yuan "syempre, sili eh!"
     at tumawa si Paul!


4.  Yuan while holding his Smart Cube toy said to his yaya "Ate, laro tayo nito."
      Sagot ng yaya "hindi ako marunong nyan eh"
      Sabi ni Yuan:  "kailangan smart ka dito kasi smart cube to eh."  
      no comment ang yaya.


5.  Habang pinapainom ko ng milk si Yuro, nagyaya siyang maglaro.  Dahil gusto kong ubusin nya muna ang milk nya, ang sabi ko: "Hindi ako makakalaro kasi hawak-hawak ko itong milk mo. "
     Sagot ni Yuro "e di ilagay mo dun sa table"
     hehe, wala akong lusot.
     

In 2010, I learned and realized that....

in no particular order...

• Reality bites and it hurts the most when you're left with no other choice but to accept it.
• Not all people are as nice/bad or as happy/sad as they seem.
• Sometimes, you won't get a second chance.
• Optimism gives hopes but too much of it can lead to procrastination and missed opportunities.
• I don't like having a maid but I need the help they provide.
• Rejection is still my biggest weakness and I better learn to handle it before it totally breaks me.
• We all get depressed sometimes and depending on how you use it, Facebook can lessen or aggravate that depression.
• In motherhood, giving up is never an option.  And these days, keeping your family together is a big accomplishment.
• Sometimes, it's best to just not care at all.
• It's all a matter of perspective and inspirations are everywhere. 
• There's the terrible twos but there are also more terrible threes and hard-headed eights. hehehe
• Kahit gaano ka-pasaway ang kids (and hubby na rin hehehe), at the end of the day  you'll appreciate them as your greatest blessing.  "At the end of the day" means pag tulog na sila...hehehe, joke.
• masakit sa bulsa maging tanga at magastos maging malungkot.
• True friends never fail to brighten your days.
• There have been better days and there will be better days.
• Nothing beats living in the same house with your best friend. :)

looking forward to more of  life's lessons in 2011.  Happy New Year! :)

My year that was

in no particular order....


The Bad
The December Depression Ordeal.
Failed Marriages/Failed Relationships (not mine, thank God)
Yuan still doesn't or can't complete his notes.
Yuro's whining has become worse.

The Neutral
Looked forward to 5 weddings, ended up attending only 2.
No yaya for 8 out of 12 months - loved the privacy but tired of household work.
Facebook time
Yuan's satisfactory school grades.
First time to vote but Noynoy won...hehehe

The Best
Generally, good health for my whole family.
Our family getaways in and out of town.
Everyday bonding with my boys...or should I say every minute, kasi wala naman akong yaya halos the whole year, hehe
Yuro's milestones - daytime potty trained and weaned from bottle feeding
Another milestone for Yuan- First Communion
A different Christmas celebration
Kitakits with friends

Dates and private moments with Paul

I've had better years but I'm still very thankful for all our blessings this past year.
To family and friends who have been part of my 2010, thank you so much for the memories.
Happy New Year! May this year be a better one for all of us. :)
