After all that has happened recently in my life, our lives…I am starting to value the importance of family all the more. It’s not something that can be easily erased or deleted, but slowly…I know everything will fall back into their proper places. Slowly but surely, right? Things may not seem as bright right now, but it is definitely beaming with hope.

My son C, celebrated his 7th birthday yesterday and as simple as it was, I know that he is very happy. Most especially with the very special present he received from Ninang Pinky…a new Indy lego set. He was so excited to get back home after we gave it to him over dinner that he had butterflies! He wasn’t able to eat what he ordered. He even felt he had to poop so we rushed our desserts including his birthday ice cream from the restaurant. It is according to him the best birthday ever! Up until sleeping time, he was still in high spirits and truly overwhelmed with excitement that he was tossing and turning and can’t stay still as he said…’i love my family’…’you’re the best’, ‘i have the best family ever!’ ‘please leave a voice message to ninang and say thank you’ and so many other words of loving enthusiasm…

…i’m glad he is happy. not exactly a wordless entry, but then…

As I have written a couple of days ago, my Christmas tree is up. Finally! I have shopped for the ornaments a few weeks ago but the tree. Until we got around to searching for the perfect one last Sunday. We decided to get the faux tree instead of the real one. It’s easier on the pocket in the long run plus saves me from cleaning up those falling dried leaves too. For $35 [which comes lit too!] we are now starting to get into the Christmas spirit. This 6.5 ft. tree was the least expensive among others that I have scouted around so I was really disappointed to find out that there was no more box left in stock at Walmart. But I went to customer service and asked if we can purchase the one on display, so we brought the tree home without the box, in 2 pieces..the top and the bottom…with fake snow flakes sprinkling our path:] Happy happy joy joy!

One of the many places that we would love to visit is the Carribean and it’s islands more specifically the Bahamas and Jamaica. This has been one of my life-long dreams! Probably a second honeymoon, I’ll call it. Wouldn’t that be utterly wonderful? Just thinking about it…some romantic vacations, a get-away soaking up in the sun, embracing it’s natural beauty and splendor, rocking the day away in a hammock under a tall palm tree or just simply spending time with M [and most probably with the kids! haha!] staring at the bluest Carribean waters and strolling along the softest sands in a Jamaica all inclusive resort?
Am I dreaming? If so, please do not wake me up! I am now in the part where I am in some ideal caribbean wedding, the bride…hmmm, could be me or somebody else.  It doesn’t matter for as long as I am there, basking in all of the islands glory!  Teehee!
