Todays and Yesterdays

Todays are ok, even great. Its the yesterdays that bog me down. I hate having to deal with yesterdays and the fact that they're taking up so much of today to straighten them out. I just want to get on with today but I can't until I finish dealing with all of the past. I can only hope that I'll do well with the rest of my todays so that in the future yesterdays will be bring me pride and happiness instead of burdens and regrets.

Happy Post

This is a me post because I am feeling happier each day.

Things are definitely looking up. Nikki can now add me to the list of people happy with their jobs. And yes I do have a job aside from being a full time mom. I doing freelance work as a writer. Nothing fancy..hindi creative stuff (at least its not supposed to be but i do tend to get creative just to achieve the required number of words many times). Its mostly product description, review, articles, and website contents. Its really cool though coz hawak ko time ko, I get to do something else, i get to earn decent money, pays a lot better than if i were a teacher (although i would still love to teach someday - to heck with the pay), i still get to stay at home, and i get to polish my writing and research skills. Of course I still cram perpetually but it feels great to be cramming for something again or finishing something ahead of time, whichever end up doing, instead of doing only repetitive things.


Another thing to be happy about is being home. I'm back in LB, or rather Bay. This is home. I find it hard to adjust to living with other people. Its funny coz now its easier to find my mom's nagging tolerable after being uncomforatble away from home.

Mark and I are doing better in our relationship. Still far from perfect, like normal relationships are, but definitely better. We both think Sam's getting better plus less stress is very much related to it.

Hmmmm...got lotsa lotsa good news but I need to get going. Baka maiwan ako ng 9 o'clock trip. Weeee! I'm definitely home may hinahabol na ulit akong service. ^_^

Sam's bath

At my sis' house. We didn't bring Sam's bath chair so i had to make do with my sister's red timba. Figured i could play with Sam as well. Sam enjoyed it too though it isn't obvious in the pictures. One of the perks of having a baby is having something (ay someone pala) to play with. ^_^

Playing with Sam.

Bye Tube

Sam has been without a tube for almost 2 weeks now. We went home to Laguna for the graduation celebrations of so many friends. We didn't go to the graduation itself but attended 3 celebrations in all. Anyway the Saturday morning we left for LB Mark and I decided to pull out Sam's tube so that people won't stare at him out of curiosity or pity. We wanted him to look cute. It was pretty strange but it was so cool, and still is, to see people react to Sam just because he's plain cute. I've been so used to the tube that as crazy as it sounds I actually missed it a few times especially when I saw Sam's old picture on my sister's desktop. I think the tube was cute too, in its own way. I'm feeling sentimental about it. It was almost a friend. It was comforting because i knew it prevented Sam from getting pneumonia again and again. Besides it was way easier to feed Sam with the tube. I'm not saying that I want the tube back, just that I miss it and am greatful for how much it made Sam's life better. Now its time to move on to a stronger and hungrier baby. I'm so proud of my baby. He has so much fight in him and has been behaved and jolly through all this (except during therapy!). Still so much to blog about but I have to work. Will write more Sam updates tomorrow and about our visit to LB.

Presenting Sam's new look......
