I want to take this time to greet the only one man in my life who makes me happy everyday. Happy Fathers’ Day Papa. I won’t stop saying thank you and I love you…those are phrases that will keep coming out of my mouth until my last breath.

I have accepted defeat, Jaiden loves you more than he loves me, that is because you love him more than anything and anyone in this world. It goes the same for our Maya. She will look up to you as her hero. The brattinela’s princess will be a certified Papa’s girl.

We love you Papa!

P.S.

Happy Fathers’ Day also to my Dad and to my Father-in-Law, to my brother Nino, and to my brother-in-law Kuya Elmer who after 10 long years will now be celebrating his first Fathers’ Day!

To all my daddy friends….you know who you are….be proud, fathers are just as important as mothers.

Rekindle the good memories of the past and use the bad memories as lessons for the future. I cannot stay immobile for too long. I have to move forward. Stop craving for things I can’t have but make use of the things at hand. Love my family for they know me by heart. If everybody leaves me, it will be my family who will stand by me through thick and thin. In this world you have to do what’s right, even if righteousness will not make you happy today, it will in the days to come. Thank God for tomorrow.

- Yna San Pedro

When I was praying for a son, God placed down deep in you; Everything I longed for, And made all my dreams come true. I thank the Heavens for you Jaiden… and the man who gave you to me. Happy Birthday SON…

Ma. Shailey Aeris D. San Pedro

Nickname: Lee

Having “Maria” on our names is a family tradition. “Shailey” means “admirable”. Aeris is Ross’ choice. Aeris was derived from Aerith who is a Final Fantasy character…she’s a flower girl. Aeris is another version of the name. It means air and earth combined.

It is Ross’ birthday on the 19th. He has been longing and wishing for an external upgrade from 759GB to 1TB.

Since he deserves it, Jai and I bought it for him. And we added a new speaker for Papa also.

We love you Papa. Thank you for taking care of us. Hope you love your new toys. Those are the only things my budget can afford. More birthdays to come.

Jaiden’s wish for you: Stop eating fatty foods and stay healthy!

One common truth about New Years Resolutions is that, promises are hard to keep. But I am more determined to do better.

Last year, my only resolution is to lose weight. And I did. I started 2009 with a whooping 132 pounds! I ended the year at only 120 pounds ( that’s according to my ancient weighing scale – my first resolution is to buy a new one ). Thanks to Orlistat and sleepless nights at work!

This year, I am looking forward to losing 5 pounds more. And the abdominal flab, needs workout!

Aside from getting fit, there’s a lot of things I need to change with how I look at life. I guess less pessimism is a good one and try to maintain a positive outlook. This is also by the way my hubby’s only resolution come 2010.

This year I want to do or learn something different. I don’t want to be stagnant. I have always dreamed of studying photography or enrolling for post graduate studies. Any of these two will do.

Lastly…traveling. I wish to at least go to 2 or 3 places I have never been to. Moneywise that would be challenging…everyone is trying to save their pennies nowadays. But nothing’s impossible.

For now, Im crossing my fingers…but the end of this year, I hope I have accomplished all of these.

HAPPY NEW YEAR!

He knows he can make figures and colors from it. Im afraid he might write on our floors and walls so I decided to buy him non-toxic colored pens and a sketch pad. He loved it.

Also bought On-U-Mind Clever Fun Blocks.He can make mosaics by inserting colorful pegs into the pegboard. The toy is very cheap but he can learn a lot of things from it like color recognition, manual skills and hand to eye coordination. Although the pegs are small, I make sure that he plays with it under supervision.

Im planning on buying more of these toys in the next few days.

I hope it would develop into something good in the future.
