smilestones

Being a mom, is the most wonderful role i am playing. I learn to discover a lot on how people change and develop just by seeing Matthew grow. I am the happiest when people compliment me on Mat. He likes to smile a lot even on strangers. My Tita Mel told me that it is in the genes. *Thank you very much!* A person will only experience childhood once, so why not make the most out of it? I realized that sacrificing not to be with Matthew just for me to go to work makes me invest on the things he needs and at the same time, what he wants. Aj and I are working hard just to give Matthew the best out of life. Like most of us, we want nothing but the best. I am proud to say that Matthew can balance himself and we even witnessed one instance that he walked unsupported on our bed. He is very talkative and noisy and MATAKAW!!! and really, the BEST!!
(you can count how many "BEST" words in this paragraph) lol! We are now planning a trip to the studio for a photo shoot for his birthday. I am really excited!!! I have everything in this world can offer. And what i always say in my prayers, "Thank you po Dear Lord for giving me my MAt!"=)

makes my mouth water

because i just can't get enough of cheescakes!!!

goin' where?

I got this feeling when I want to take NCLEX anytime this year. This inkling feeling that I want to let myself be challenged with somewhat higher than an average person's standards. I heard about NCLEX a lot and the feeling of nausea strikes me every time. But as they say, before you take the NCLEX exams, you have to decide for yourself on what state you want to stay and work for. A lot of factors might be considered in choosing a place. One time, I told Aj that I want to stay in California. The thought of having a Filipino community around makes Aj not to put California to an option. Yes, we are Filipino people but the gossips and the crab mentality that is innate to our upbringing makes Aj think twice in settling there. As for me, i love the weather there and it makes me not to experience culture shock that much since we'll be rubbing elbow with our fellow kababayans. My officemate once told me that i should also consider Massachussets because they have the best medical facilities and the state-of-the-art hospitals that will make my experience top of the line. The best universities are there and thinking of Matthew's future, I think that is something i really have to consider. But anyway, I still have a lot of time to think and weigh the pro's and con's. For now, I have to prepare for Matthew's bday and make it superb.
