Book: A LOVE WORTH GIVING by MAX LUCADO

"He has been drinking. He has been driving. You have a problem, and I have a question."

hmmm...seem like those lines don't make any sense at all. :) Well, actually, those lines were from the chapter "A Cloak of Love" of that book. From it, the author asks what you're going to do or give to your son given that scenario. You may reprimand him. Teach him a lesson by getting his car keys and not allowing him to drive for a few months. Whatever you choose, he says not to forget to give your child "a cloak of love" afterwards. Embrace him with your loving arms. He desperately needs that at that moment. According to Max Lucado, I quote "Love always protects."

Daddy's Corner

I can honestly say that Noah is a Daddy's boy. In fact, Noah's first word was "dada", and he says "dada" much more than "mama" even if I'm with him most of the time. But, I won't complain on that. I love seeing them bond and have fun together. Oh, what a precious sight! He finds time to play and get silly with him even if he's exhausted and stressed from work. For him, there's no excuse or reason not to have even a single second with your kid when you've spent most of your time working outside home. Family is always a priority. I could see in my husband's eyes how much he adores Noah. He has wonderful plans for him. Even when I was still pregnant with Noah, he would always check on him, tap my belly to wake him up and feel his strong, Ninja kicks. He wanted to be assured that he's doing ok and everything's alright. I remember, it was winter season then, my husband would carry me from the car to the house so I won't slip or fall from the icy floor, and risk losing our baby. That early on, I know his love for our son is overflowing. It's love in abundance! And, it has never changed. Only growing and growing each day! :)

Not to forget, I wish to thank my dear gorgeous friends, Mommy Juliana, Debbie, Vhiel, and Maria, for this beautiful tag. :)

What Do You Love the Most About Your Husband/Partner?

What I love the most about my husband is the fact that he adores his son, Noah, as if he's everything in his life. As soon as he gets home from work, and after kissing Mommy, of course, he gets his son, lifts him up in the air, and kisses him as if he hasn't seen him in ages. Funny how Noah greets him when he sees him enter the door. He roars like a lion! My husband roars back as a reply :) I could feel the fatherly love radiate from his being. Whenever he goes out of town, he sees to it that he gets something for Noah, mostly soccer gear. He just gets so excited getting gifts for him! With so much love and doting, that at night time, he gets Noah from his crib and let him sleep with us in bed. He loves smelling his hair, so do I. I also love smelling his baby breath because sometimes his mouth is wide open while sleeping, just like Mommy :). Every so often, he would dream, then we would hear him laugh, or cry all of sudden. Oh, how I love catching those moments! There was a time that hubby had to take care of Noah for almost a week by himself, and I was impressed how he was able to change his dirty diapers, feed him, lull him to sleep, and patiently deal with his fussiness sometimes. I am so proud of him! I am so happy and grateful I found him. And I'm certain, Noah, and Kaiden, when they grow up, would be proud of their gentle, kindhearted father as well.

Thanks, Marilyn, for this wonderful tag. In fact, this is in time for our Civil Wedding Anniversary which was yesterday, April 5th. We also got married in Church, and that would be in May 30th. Happy Anniversary to both of us! :)

What Am I Grateful For?

Oh, I have a lot to be thankful for from the littlest of things to the grandest! But what I am most grateful for are the following:

First, I am thankful for my loving husband who always sees to it that we have everything we need, that everything is taken cared of, especially when he goes out of town. He never ceases to think of our safety and what's best for the family, including the dogs and the cat.
I am grateful for my dear parents for their unfailing love despite my stubbornness during my younger, crazy years. :)
I am grateful for our son, Noah, for giving me the sweetest smiles just when I needed them most, for his infectious laughters that remind me, despite the stresses and the complexity of life, that indeed life is good.
I am grateful for my second pregnancy, that means there's more love and nurturing to spread around the house, more hugs, giggles, and smiles to look forward to.
I am grateful for my marriage and its imperfections, for they teach us to open our ears and listen to what the deepest of our hearts are saying. They allow us to open our arms and embrace each other's flaws and uniqueness with unqualified love and acceptance.
Lastly, I am grateful for the pain, the tears, the struggles I've been through. I have learned to appreciate more profoundly the life I have right now. With my family and friends, I live a Blessed Life I didn't imagine I could possibly have, hence worthy to be thankful for. Thank you, Lord. :)

Thank you, Super Hot Blogger Mommy Juliana , for this tag. :) It does make one to sit down, look back and reflect on oneself. By being grateful, it can only make you a better person, and live a happier life. :)

8 Facts About Myself

I got a tag from Lis yesterday. It's called "8 FACTS ABOUT MYSELF". Here it goes.

*****RULES*****
* Each blogger must post these rules first.
* Each blogger starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
* Bloggers that are tagged need to write on their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
* At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
* Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.
*****************

1. I love to dance and it has been my passion since I was a kid. When I was only 8 yrs. old, I joined a dance contest at my grandpa's veteran party, and surprisingly, I won. I don't think I won because I was a great dancer, but because my "lola" (grandma) was one of the judges. hehehe daya :)
2. Until now, I feel really bad whenever memories of my favorite dog come to my mind. I was relocated to a different territory due to my work, and I had to leave him with my parents because it's not possible for me to bring him with me. My Dad said he won't eat and would always stand at my bedroom door hoping I would appear. He got so frail and got some sort of illness that he died eventually. :(
3. I've always dreamt of singing with a band in front of a big crowd. But the problem is, I don't have the talent for singing at all. :)
4. I am happy when it rains! I want to play under the rain like a child. I love the smell of it. I love the sound when it falls on the rooftop. Rain gives me some sense of tranquility inside.
5. If we would move to a new house, I would want to have a prayer room. I want to have a separate place where I could have a time alone with God and myself.
6. When I was pregnant with Noah, I passed out when I was in front of the computer. Next thing I knew, I was under the table lying on my side.
7. I have always been fascinated by clocks, those stylish, uniquely designed ones. I actually wanted to collect them. I just don''t get a chance, and money :) . It might be too late to start though.
8. I had an encounter with a thief (holdupper) 2x in my life. The first one was way back in college, my ex-boyfriend and I were walking through the overpass in Espana, UST when a thief poked a knife at him, wanting to take his gold necklace and bracelet. Instead of giving in, he fought and knocked him down until he got the knife itself. That was brave but scary! The second one was 7 years ago when I was walking along Banawe in QC. A man with a knife jumped from a van, shouting asking for my cellphone and wallet. I, without any hesitation, or saying a word, gave what he wanted. Good thing, I wasn't pushed or dragged into the van. I would have been raped, or killed.

There you go. I guess you got to know me a lot better now. Thanks for the tag, Lis. Now, I'm passing this to the following: Sexymom, ging, eva, lily, gracie, prily, lalaine and edz.

8 Random Things About My Kid

This is the first tag I have ever done since I am new to the blogging world. :) Thank you, Lalaine, for thinking of me and for letting me participate in this activity. :)

8 RANDOM THINGS ABOUT MY BABY NOAH

1. When Noah was 8 mos old, he made a big mess in his crib. For some reason, he was able to remove his diaper and poop was all over, the blankets, etc., including his arms and legs. He was smiling and jumping up and down, looking like a naughty boy. :)
2. Noah would laugh so hard whenever I say, "stinky feet", booger burger" or when I do a fake cough.
3. Noah had his first haircut when he was only 9 mos old. Second haircut was 2 weeks ago by Daddy. I had to stop Daddy from cutting his bangs further because he's getting to look like Mo of the Three Stooges. :)
4. He started walking at 10 and a half months.
5. Noah says "idget" for Bridget our dog, "ink" for drink, "nik" for snake.
6. Noah loves watching Baby Einstein videos especially the Baby Mozart. He stops crying as soon as the show starts. Actually, he knows how to insert the tape and operate the player by himself.
7. Noah growls whenever we say "lion". He points up when we say "light". He points to the balloon whenever we ask him to look for it. He looks at the direction of the "cow" whenever I ask him where the cow is.
8. Noah makes a "milk" sign whenever he wants to drink his milk and eventually sleep. Sometimes, he makes that sign too when he wants Cheerios. :)
