Little Thoughts

I was sick the past two days and had to skip work. While I was home, I alternate between playing with Ayex and sleeping with her. In those days, I also discovered little things because of my curiosity. I will not share them in details. With the following thoughts, you might guess them anyway.

Never ask if you’re not ready to hear the answer.
If you don’t have anything good to say, just shut your mouth!
There’s no way you can please everyone.
Looks are pretty deceiving.
If you think you already know a person, think again!
People will talk sh*t behind your back but who cares. What is important is you know yourself and you do not step on other people’s toes.
Patience is a very important virtue.
Believe in KARMA.
Praying and blogging will keep you sane!

What Ayex got from me?

I really think that Ayex is an equal combination of Mon’s genes and mine. There’s no such thing as mas malakas ang genes ko or ni Mon (Mon’s genes or mine is more noticeable) in Ayex’s body. There are even times when we think she’s good at blending with the person she’s with because somehow, they look like each other! But that’s in another post. In this post, I’ll show you what Ayex got from Mommy’s genes.

Ayex has 3 puyo just like I do. Hubby would often teases me that Ayex got her being cry baby from me although at times I think Ayex is just being her age – a baby. Her legs, which are not visible in the picture were also from me, I admit that, it runs in our family! Her lips and mine are of the same shape. This goes true for her nose as well. I know I should not consent it but at an early age, Ayex have shown her love for sweets, just like I do! At times, we’d get a little worried because Ayex is a little short for her age, but since I am not that tall, she probably inherited my bone structure (not all models are that tall!). Apart from physical characteristics, I think Ayex also inherited some of my attitudes like the love for photo ops. At two, she has also shown great interest in gadgets, which Mon and I share. Lastly, I think Ayex inherited my love for shoes having more pairs now than I do.

How do you keep the fire burning?

I’ve been wanting to blog about this even before I cam across this contest Mommy Ro is hosting. But you know, I’ve broken my promise to blog more often a lot of times already so I’m trying again now.

How do you keep the connection going on? This is the question most couples face after undergoing a very big change in their lives. In our case, that would be having our little Ayex.

There were times when I would think Mon and I are losing our connection. We were or should I say I was beginning to concentrate all my excess energy after work for Ayex. I thought that was right, put your child first before your spouse. Wrong! Big mistake. Ate Meriam, our dear helper, told me that you should take care of your spouse first because your relationship with him/her affects your child. It is hard. But thinking about it makes me realize that it is logical.

Now, even if we’re tired, we still manage to bond every now and then. Simple visit to our favorite isawan makes us both very happy and giddy. If work permits, we leave the office early and head somewhere else before heading home like the mall. We dine out once every month and we try places we’ve never been to. In the evening, while putting Ayex to bed, we talk about anything and everything that happened to our day. When I’m not lazy and Ayex is not being jealous, I give Mon a quick back massage. I also realize now how I love cooking for him, although that does not happen every day.

I thought we were spending too little time together nowadays. It might be true. But writing about it now, I realized that we do not need 24 hours together to say that we had a great time in each others company. Each time spent together makes us discover each other over again in so many different ways.
