My husband and I have become space concious ever since we got married. Apartment and condo rental near the central business district is really steep so we have to make do with what we can afford - a small place. This is the main consideration when arranging the house and also in buying furnitures and appliances. We would stick to something that would still allow breathing space. Besides, a cramped room looks disarrayed and unorganized.

This is the reason why we wanted to get rid of our old TV in exchange for a LCD HDTV which is a space saver. We’ve had the old TV for almost 4 years now and we had it in a wall mount to save space. I’m just worried that it would fall down in case of an earthquake. hahaha! Anyway, a new TV is something desirable and can be bought once we have enough money. For now, we will concentrate in setting aside for savings first. If there will be extra then is a TV wish come true.

Yep, little boy knows that phrase very well now. He even knows when and how to use it, whether he wants to make us laugh or just make a “palusot”.

His grandparents came around 10pm last night and at that time he already had his teeth brushed. He joined them and brought her tita to the hospital where she worked. He was gone for a good 30 mins. When he returned, I snuggled him in our bed. I could smell that he eat something so…

Mommy: May kinain ka ano? (You eat something, right?)
B.boy:  (eyes proud and beaming) Opo. Kumain ako ng French fries (Yes, I had French fries)
Mommy: O, kailangan mo mag toothbrush ulit bago matulog kasi kumain ka eh. (oh, you need to brush your teeth again because you ate something. )

I can see that the expression of his face changed. Then he blurted out … Joke lang yun Mommy! (Mom, it’s only a joke)

I wanted to laugh out loud at his excuse. Silly child!

I turned a year older today. Next year I will be in the line of 3s. Surprisingly, I suddenly feel old. Hahaha! I began to reflect how I have spent my twenties years. As I look back, I realized that it wasn’t bad. With God’s help I was able to fulfill some of my dreams:
- work in a multinational company.
- off-shored to Korea for a month.
- promoted three times.
- head a business unit
- attend an international convention as a foreign delegate.
- regular pioneer for three years.
- attend PSS.
- had a boyfriend, who later became my husband.
- had a good wedding.
- had a son whom I breastfed until he was two and a half years old.

I still have one year to work on the other parts that is still under construction. When I looked at the mirror this morning I realized that I’ve grown older, not only emotionally but also physically. My hips were now wider, gone was the “skinny me” ten years ago. My tummy has love handles due to the pregnancy. I am beginning to control my eating habits seeing that my metabolism were slower than it once have been. I dread that I wake up one day and will be desperately needing one of those best diet pills in the market.

We can not escape the fact that all of us will eventually grow old but I just hope that I will age gracefully.

Papa sent these King Crabs last Thursday. They were very fleshy and my sister cooked it with Szechuan Sauce.

I had a great time eating the claws. It’s sooooo packed with flavor.
