ang maglola! bow!

My mom always say "Ang inakay lagi hahanapin ang inahin." Because whenever I go home after work, my son would immediately reach for me. He would stop whatever he is doing and smile the sweetest smile for me! My son knows what I needed after a long day of work! :) Although Riley's lola think that he prefers me more, I feel otherwise. I feel that he is much closer to her. Well, I can't blame him because our mom is very lovable, huggable, and a little spoiler! hehe. I don't find any bit of jealousy as to whom Riley prefers more. The more people Riley likes, the better, right? I just find it so endearing looking at this mag LOLA.

his lola always takes care of him

they like to talk a lot!

he has the best looking grandma in the world! ;)

they like watching tv together

he would eventually fall asleep

Lola and apo tandem - what a beautiful scene in my eyes! ^_^

whenever RILEY smiles, i SMILE too! :)

I have nothing to do today but surf the net. I decided to download Justin Bieber songs. I know I am so so late with the trends now. LOL. I only know the famous "BABY" song by him. Then I came across with this song. I think I heard it somewhere before but I didnt know that JB is the singer. The one person that came to my mind when I finished listening to it? Who else but RILEY! :)

i just miss you :(

dear daddyko (formerly known as daddyfriend),

i don't know why but i suddenly miss you. i want to hug you, kiss you, and talk to you. face to face. i know we always talk online but i want to see you. to see your super handsome face. lol! there's never a time that i dont think of you. how can i? when our son always remind me of you. when i look at riley, i will always see you in him, specially when he smiles :) and when he swims and how he interacts with other socially, i would always have that thought "nakuha nya sa daddy nya un." oh how i love to see you together! i like to know how you would handle riley if he cries? how would you make him laugh? how would you take care of him? and how would riley feels about you? i long for the days when you will come back and we will be reunited again. a whole family. remember when u ask me if i want an extravagant party for our son's first bday? i told you, if you would go home, i would exchange all that for YOU. i would rather celebrate with the three of us together than be with a hundred guest. you are more important to riley and to me. but i know its not that easy. you have work and all that. and the expenses. i know. i know. i understand. i have to. i know you also miss us. it's hard. but we'll get through with this.

daddyko, i am not an easy person to be with. there are times naaway kita out of nowhere. hehe. forgive me. sometimes, desperation gets into me. sometimes i think too much. and instead of getting angry back at me, you patiently explains things. you patiently wait until i became calm again. please continue doing that. sometimes i just have to let it all out. then after a while i came back to my senses again. thank you for not giving up on me. on "us." we're not the typical boyfriend/girlfriend. we're past through kilig and ligawan stage. and yet when you call me, i still get high as if you're still courting me. lol. (i love to hear your voice, by the way) i hope that would never changed as well.

i dont talk about you often but the truth is IM SO PROUD OF YOU! i want the whole world to know how LUCKY i am to have met and to have known a guy like you. i dont regret having a child with you. I LOVE YOU! and that's the whole truth.

love,
joyce

p.s.
sorry. cant talk to you again later. our "BOSS" are still here. ang dami ko nang MISS syo! :(

my FIRST mother's day!

When you came, I heard God whisper,

“Take care of this little one.

He’s one of my special spirits

Accept him as your son.

He may need some extra attention

Some added patience and some time

But he’ll grow into a beautiful person

With your love, he’ll be just fine.

You’ll see that he will surprise you

He’ll amaze you with his soul

He’ll bring you joy and endless wonder

In his way, he’ll make you whole.

For every smile will be a miracle

Each new step, a victory

His growth will be blessed and meaningful

His life is a gift from Me.

This angel is your reminder

Of what is pure and what is true

It’s not what the world says that matters

What matters is all up to you.

You are the one who will teach him

That he is perfect in My eyes

With Me, he can move mountains

He can do anything, he need only try.

For this child has a magnificent spirit

He was meant to do wonderful things

His life has a special mission

I will raise him on eagle’s wings

To soar high and live life fully

To sing and laugh and love

So you must raise him with warmth and tenderness,

With Me, you’ll have enough.

Now always remember this message,

Be brave and strong and true

Know that I am with you

Remember that I chose you.

I chose you for this mission.

This is your gift to Me.

Take care of him well and let him be loved,

For when you love him . . . you love Me.”

Being a mother is a demanding but very REWARDING job! God trusted me with this very special mission. With HIS help, I know I can surpass all the hardships and challenges of being a mother. 

This is my first Mother's Day.

This is the beginning of all the good years we will share.

For the nth time, I LOVE YOU riley! ^_^
