Christmas 2007 with Leon

Christmas this year was very special to us. It was Leon's first Christmas and obviously we enjoyed every bit of it. He was with us during our Christmas shopping, cooking and parties. He enjoyed being with Mamang everyday and looks forward during weekends for his weekly pasyal. Leon is always the light of a party or get together we attend because he always makes it a habit to smile and play with adults and kids even at times when he is sleepy and tired. He enjoys looking at Christmas trees, lights, parol and other Christmas decorations. He also knows how to open gifts! Nakakatuwa talaga si Leon, sana kahit big boy na siya, mabait pa rin tsaka lovable pa rin. Merry Christmas Hahai and Leon, and wishing you a very happy and full of blessings for the coming New Year! I love you very much.

amazing baby

It's so amazing having baby Leon around...at 7 mos. he already knows what he wants...like he likes Mickey Mouse! although ok din with him si Elmo, Cookie Monster and Pooh because of their attractive colors I guess pero with Mickey Mouse you can really see his excitement!!! he even imitates Mickey Mouse by sticking his little tongue out while smiling...He's so cute!!!

hahai birthday

hahai's birthday will be this coming friday. i hope we will be able to celebrate. just a simple dinner and walk around the mall will do. hopefully i can still buy her a gift, para may magamit siya na bag while she's with leon.

it is really hard for us right now because leon's yaya went home to her province last sunday. her dad was sick and maybe she's worried because her dad has been sick for a week now, plus of course his old age. hopefully she can come back soon because we really don't want to have a change of yaya for leon para hindi na siya mag aadjust. sana she will be back....

i really admire my wife for taking care of leon and for being so patient with him. its not that mahirap alagaan si leon but i know it takes a lot of patience to take care a 4 month old kid. buit na lang mabait si leon, hindi masyado umiiyak, except pag gutom and sleepy na siya.

hopefully our application for our donut business will be approved this month so we will know soon if the business is profitable. i know we have many plans but we have to expect that making a profit is not an overnight thing. hopefully kahit paano, maka tsamba naman kami. para we will have the funds for an expansion, excited na talaga kami ni hahai.

as for my work, a lot of projects are being assigned to me now and i hope everything will turn out fine. i really need to prove myself here so i'll have more opportunities for growth. hopefully i'll perform what is expected of me para hindi naman sila magsisi sa pagkuha nila sa akin, and of course for salary increase!

well, yun lang muna... can't think of anything else. will go home na, excited na to play with leon.

1st post

just arrived from samar last friday, spent 1 week in a place with no tv and cellphone signal. really missed my wife and leon and was looking forward for the weekend. we were able to spend saturday evening at sm megamall and bought a few things for the car and at home. we also bought a nice pair of pants for hahai, an advance birthday gift. i wish i could buy her more but with my current salary, its difficult. i wish our business will start by this month so we can see if we can earn extra.

sunday we spent the whole day with my aunt and uncle who are scheduled to go back to the US today. they were here because my lola died but we also had a great time with them and my cousins at my father side. its nice to know that my tita beng already has her green card so she can regularly go back to the philippines at least once a year, or maybe once every 2 years. tito edmon showed us his house in cavite where they plan to stay after he retires in the US. its a nice cozy house but im sure they also bought a few properties somewhere here in the philippines.

hahai and i had a long talk last night. mostly our future plans and problems at work and at home. i wish we can overcome these problems so we can accomplish our plans for leon and of course for us two. hopefully our business will push through this year so we can start saving for the house next year. i would really like to make a contribution to the house in project 4 so in case we decide to move out, we can still visit or spend a few days at the old house.

lastly, i still wish i can have a few cash to spend to improve our current car. its an old toyota car but i can say i have made a few restoration and repairs to improve its value. i still wish to have a toyota sprinter and honda sir someday, of course i also want my wife to have her own suv. i know we can do it, it is just a matter of time and patience.

that's it for now, i cant wait to go home and be with hahai and of course play with leon. i love them very much....
