Thank God for Technology

Paul is currently in Singapore for a work assignment. He left last May 21, a week after Miggy's baptism. We miss him so much! He will be there until the end of June. That's the original plan, but knowing his bosses, there's a big chance that his stay will be extended.

It's a good thing keeping in touch with loved ones is a breeze nowadays. During day time, Paul and I exchange text messages, he uses Chikka and I use my local mobile; he's on roaming so a text message costs only Php 1.00. Cheap-o!

At night, we chat on Skype. In the past, we used YM, but after we tried Skype, we preferred the latter. With Skype, calls are clearer. Here's a snapshot of our recent chat (taken minutes ago):

We are family! :)

Miggy gets excited when he sees his Daddy-o on the screen. Paul talks to Miggy and it's like he understands him! He coos, moves his hands and kicks in response. Hehe I'm so glad that Paul can see Miggy even from miles away. I can see and feel his happiness every time he sees Miggy, it's like all the stress from work and the sadness of being far away just disappear. Miggy is his ultimate stress-buster! And mine, too.

Thank God for technology!

Happy 1st Anniversary!

Today, we celebrate a year of marital bliss. Here's to forever, Dy! Love you and Miggy so much!

Miggy's Baptism: The Invitation

Six more days to go and it'll be Miggy's baptism! Just a few more things to settle and we're good to go. Hehe An item that has been recently marked as done on our list is the invitation. I wanted a simple-looking invitation for Miggy. No heavy artwork. I just wanted two things - the dominant color should be light blue and there should be clouds. I love clouds, cumulus in particular. They soothe the eyes and make you feel relaxed every time you look at them. :)

Going back to the invitation... I absolutely have no Photoshop powers, so I asked the help of my friend and teammate, Toink, a graphic artist. I just sent him the texts and Miggy's photos. He came up with two layouts, one on vertical orientation, the other on horizontal. Here they are:

I actually liked both! Well, after looking at them longer, I thought I liked the horizontal one better. But Nanay and Paul voted for the vertical layout so they won. Haha. Well, it's not as if I don't like the vertical layout. Now that I think about it, it's actually cuter, plus it has two photos of Miggy! We had it printed earlier at SM. We'll give the invites to the guests tomorrow. We only printed a few because for most of my friends, we'll send the invite and map through e-mail. Thank God for technology. Hehe

Happy Mother's Day!

It's the day to celebrate the most important woman in our lives... Our moms! Happy Mother's Day to all the moms out there, most especially to my Nanay dearest!

Nay, You taught me what true love is. It's sacrifice. It's giving. It's unconditional. I love you so much. Words just can't describe how great a mother you are. I love you so much...

This is also my first Mother's day! Hahaha But really, I think I should be the one celebrating for myself (not other people) because I have the most precious gift... Miggy. He brings so much joy into our lives. He's our little ray of sunshine. I love you, my Miggy-o!

I Miss Blogging!

Yikes, haven't posted in weeks! I miss you, Blogger!

Anyway, what have I been up to lately?

Well, I'm already back to work. Went back last April 18. I didn't want to, to be honest! Haha It's just so hard to leave the house knowing I would not be with Miggy for 10-12 hours. Every single day, I would be late because I would delay going out. I would see Miggy and that's it, I'd stay a few more minutes to play with him. Hehe

I've also been busy planning Miggy's baptism. It will be on May 14, Saturday. So far, everything is set. Will just post a more detailed entry on this.

I actually took a leave today to attend to some family-related matters. So, I'm gonna log out now and start my to do's! Hehe

Before I head out, I'd like to share a photo. This is the design of Miggy's giveaway for the guests (ref magnets) on his baptism:

Thanks a bunch to Tekk, my bro Ronald's kumpare, for making this cute layout! I love it! I also love Miggy's picture used in the layout. He's so happy! And that's smile, so genuine. Even his eyes are smiling. :) My baby is so pogi! Hahaha

Ciao!
