Musings

I'm a real simple person. It doesn't take a lot to make me happy. I enjoy life's simple pleasures. I'm family-oriented. I like spending time with my family, be it at home or out, I love being around the people who really matter to me.. I've always LOVED traveling, be it long road trips or impossibly long air flights. I've been to quite a few countries, the US (both Mainland and Hawaii), Mexico, Venezuela, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Germany, Thailand, Singapore, Hong Kong, Indonesia, Japan, and just recently Australia. Next on my "to-go list" is Greece, New Zealand, India, China, Egypt, and France. I am deeply enamored by diverse cultures, in fact both my son and I can be considered children of the third culture (look it up if you don't know what that is), I like exotic food, world art, and world history. I love Asia Pacific the best though, not because I'm from there mind you, but because Asian culture is more diverse and exotic in nature than that of the Western world. I will admit though that I do enjoy all the perks and benefits of the Western world's advanced technology and way of life. Hmm what else, I LOVE anything that has to do with food (don't we all), trying new restaurants, sampling new dishes and attempting to do them at home. It really relaxes me. (Asian food is the absoulute best in my opinion.) SHOPPING IS THERAPY (well, I'm a girl - duh). I can spend quite a number of hours looking at girly stuff. I think that DFS Airport shops are the absolute best! You can pretty much find everything there without the tax (hehe). I can be a big shopper, especially if it's something I really like. Generally though, I consider myself to be a cheapskate. Well, there' so much more that I can write... Simply put, I'm pretty simple, laid back and easygoing. I have a wealth of experience that I can share with my friends and that's how I learn as well - from the experiences of others. I of course, just want to live a better life, and give my son the royal life that he deserves...

Thanks to..

Baby Genius

I just love this picture! I cracked up as I was reviewing my pictures and I saw this. My baby genius..

Kids really pick up stuff fast. I had been on my laptop a lot lately this week and Gavin would always just be at my side watching "Elmo's World". It's the only way I can get to do some work, without him trying to destroy anything in the house. Whenever I have to work on something, I just pop in his favorite DVD and we're good for about 10 minutes.

I never knew that the image of me working, using the mouse and typing away would stick right away.

Apparently, it did.

Really cute, huh?

Wasn't it just yesterday when..

Wasn't it just yesterday when you were this teeny weeny baby who kept on waking me up in the middle of the night? Now you're a nosy and noisy little boy who just wants to grow up so fast and maybe leave mommy behind..

I came home from work today and I got the biggest shock of my life when I walked in the bedroom to say hi to my son. He just looked so different, so not the baby I just left early this morning.. so.. big. He was playing with his toys and as he looked at me, I realized that my baby's not going to be a baby forever.

Already he's saying so many things and the way he communicates just amazes me. Why can't they just stay as babies forever? Why do they grow so fast? Damn..

This picture was taken a few days after I arrived home. My cousin, the renowned modern artist Claro Ramirez took this candid shot as I was sitting down with my new baby boy in my arms.

Cute huh?

Sus pensamientos estupidos - amargura y colera...

Don’t flatter yourself. Va a tomar mucho mas que eso para hacerme enojado. Mi felicidad no es dependiente en otras. Ni estara siempre en cualquier hombre en esta tierra. No oculte detras de su fachada o de sus palabras en el papel. El hablar con mi habría sido mas facil. Mas bien que ocultando detras de sus palabras. Me le insultan a proposito pienso. El no tiene gusto de usted. Viva y aceptelo. Move on, y consiga una vida.

I deleted some of my posts. I was reviewing them, and some just didn't relate to me anymore. Thus, I deleted them permanently from the system. As should be the case with the things (people) you want to forget.
