Oh the joys of motherhood. It's the best thing that could have ever happened to me. I'm not too proud to boast that I'm amazing at it. I thank God everyday for blessing me with an incredible, loving husband and beyond all my best friend. We've been married since June of 06' and our proud and joy Ethan was born October 18, 2009. He is one smart cookie, always on the move and has an innate sense of humor; big smiles and loud laughter all the time. He is the center of my universe, my absolute favorite person in the world.

Night out at Favela (Astoria, NY). Slammin Brazilian food. This was me and the biff taking a bogie break from all the delicious grilled meat and pitchers of sangria.
blonde hair don’t caarreeee.
I have a love/hate relationship with my hair right now. I spent a ridiculous amount of money getting it done and it’s not as light as I requested it to be. More bleach please! Oh and when I say ridiculous amount of money I mean ri-dic! I am pissed, beyond livid that I spent so much. Never again will I splurge on a manhattan ritzy type of place when I can go to spanish harlem and have my dominicans hook it up for half the price. Fucking groupon deal my ass! Even with the groupon it was an absurd amount. UGH WOOOOSAA! Ok done.. </vent>.
#happysunday its brutally cold these days in NYC. we bundled up anyway and went to a late mass and jollibee dinner after. How filipino are we? Hehe
ever thine
ever mine
ever ours
Christmas this year was entirely different. It was the most non-traditional celebration of Christmas I’ve celebrated in my life. First of all, we did not have a tree this year. Usually, we’re the first to buy a fresh pine tree to give our house that Christmas feeling. We had decorations up,…
How awesome is this picture. “Chillin chillin like daddy”, and yes that’s in his own words.
This made me so happy! He made this at daycare. How awesome is it that he’s totally comfortable and learning at school now. The teachers said he’s not clingy anymore and actually participating in activities. They said he seems to love Justin Bieber and they play the song “baby” and he’ll sing and dance for them. ;D When I pick him up he stops whatever he’s doing once he sees me and frantically runs to me, “mommy mommy”!! Oh the joys of motherhood.
Merry Christmas!
Very cliche but this is definitely my favorite time of the year. I’ve strung some lights on our balcony and put up some red bows and Santa Clause poster, the most I’m dedicating to decorating this year. Next year I’m going all out and planning ahead of time. My apartment is too cluttered and small as it is. This is my favorite time of the year as well because it’s my birthday on DEC. 30th. ;D
We finally found time to visit Rockefeller for THE tree. Oh the perks of living in NYC. Just a 15 minute train ride away, a 10 minute walk from my job. My loves surprised me on a random Tuesday night. They picked me up from work and we were off to see the tree and then dinner at Dallas BBQ. The Hennessy colada was a-ma-zing. Next time I’m asking for more caramel!
He’s a city slicker, loves riding the train.
Blar! I need to do my hair asap. Obviously I’m not a natural blonde being Filipino and all. I’ll get on that after the holidays since of course the holidays are cleaning out my bank account more than usual. We’re going to the Poconos for the Christmas weekend with the husbys family and I am super excited. Happy Holidays everyone! <3
It’s incredibly hard getting off the bed to go to work and leaving these two. I cherish the days we all wake up together and stay under the covers as long as we can. We are cuddlers. And what is it with Ethan who just has to squeeze himself in between us when me and the husby are cuddling to ourselves? Loooooveeeeees!
Chillin watching thomas. Thank goodness for on demand and dvr. #happysunday
(I need instagram in my life.)
