my 2010 in a nutshell

as i waive goodbye to the year that was 2010

i look back with mixed emotions to the year that has been

a year of beginning and renewing passions,

a year of creating lifelong traditions,

jared's baptismal cake from goldilocks

carried here by ninang jackie

this time by ninang meia

we welcome jared to the christian world in january,

one of the many firsts to celebrate with my baby,

i've also started teaching him how to pray,

 but just won't simply clasp his hand whichever way,

and i finally said goodbye to my work of almost five years, in may,

 deciding to be a full-time mom, a 24/7 career sans pay!

the highlight of my year, 

the reason for our cheer, 

we joined with friends and family,

as we celebrate jared's very first birthday 

complete with a special dance number from jollibee

 i've also rediscovered my old forgotten passion

 writing 

rising from phoenix ashes was my muse,

albeit in another form

eureka! for blogging

and welcome to my very own online journalling,

with it i embrace unimaginable fun

the contests, the memes, and the bloghops

and everything else that goes with the mommy blogger thang

i was invited to an event or two

and attended with my son in tow,

apart from the food, apart from the freebies

i particularly enjoyed meeting like-minded mummies.

jared started to walk and toddle,

and was up for a run in no time,

he started babbling and uttered his very first  "ma"

and even the occasional "pa"

he had his first haircut in september, 

and i actually thought of keeping the first locks i cut

in the pages of harry potter

i usher in the terrible twos 

not to mention the boo-boos and the poos

mummies got a handful,

and it all the more make life wonderful.

   then it was time to cap the year, 

and as we try to trap the christmas cheer inside of our gifts,

hoping to brighten up the day

of anyone who receives,

my baby was up and about,

going places here and there,

enchanted kingdom on christmas day

we've been to moa,

and watched rpg metanoia,

we've been to fun ranch,

and to activefun

as we usher in the new year 2011,

i bring with me everything of the past year worth remembering

the wonderful moments,

and the colorful memories.
