I miss my little one! Its been 3 days since we haven’t had a Skype conversation. Tabby’s pretty busy with work issues that needs his utmost attention. I have also been busy working a 12-hour shift for the past 3 straight days. My eyes are so strained I could not even see a word when I am checking emails. Its been tough, this couple of days. Tabby and I have been squeezing in short conversations just to catch up. We both need each other more than ever… but …

Tabby and I have been very busy this month with client reports, deadlines, and all that at work. My schedules have been pretty much packed this month. The past week I was sick for 7 days. I was missing a lot of days from work, imagine losing money at the same time too. Its been tough. My husband has been really focusing his attention on earning online passively an amount that will go beyond our needs. He has always been that supportive husband who would rather have me …

I live by inspiration and faith. Everyday I always find myself seeking that strength to go about my day in a positive and productive way. Aside from my very active online activities, I currently work a managerial position. And mind you, stress is one of the not so good things that attack me every single day. Its been a year now since I’ve been working for this company. And I am grateful for it for it allowed me to go home to Philippines for 4 months and 10 …

My terrible two is playing with me today. Seems like she has been so used to our play times when I was with her. She has been calling me all day today. She has pulled a lot of toys for me to see and some sun glasses for us to wear. I miss my little girl and our moments together. The pain and happiness it brings to me are just overwhelming every time. But I am always grateful for the technology age that we are in right now. …

This is probably the most popular English nursery rhyme ever in history. And my little one has fallen in love with it that she sings the end of each line perfectly with her Daddy! She also shows those hands opening and closing to resemble the stars glittering up above. Here are the words she could get right… I wish I could actually take a video of this. Will you Sweetest? I bet Daddy will when he gets the time to do so.
Twinkle, twinkle, little star,
How I wonder what you are!
Up …

Forgive me for not blogging right away. I needed some time alone and a lot of encouragement which I wanted to find in me that everything will be alright. I have been talking to myself even before I left. Trying to convince myself that the second time won’t be as bad as the first. Unfortunately, I was wrong for the first few days. It’s probably the physical “longing-ness” of what was to what is now. Maybe even denial at one point. I arrived on the 26th roughly about …

I don’t know how to start saying what I want to share to you. Probably the easiest way to say it is that there will always be atleast one thing or two that I am thankful for despite being away from my precious two - Tabby and Yzzy. It is always a happy thought to see that my Yzzy knows me by name and by merely looking at me through the video calls over the internet that we have every single day. It makes my heart melt and tug me …

Yes, you read that right. My little one is now appreciating and loving to watch television. She is in fact, initiating when she wants to watch a particular cartoon or animated series. Grandpa Ely bought her a new DVD set just for Yzzy’s favorite DVD shows. Isn’t that wonderful? Thank you Grandpa! Tabby also bought her a number of Dora and Barney DVD’s. She loves those that shows because she has miniature stuffed toys of them at home. Barney is about her height! And Dora, which was …

Away from the real world, this is what we do most of the time. Make silly faces, stick our tongues out, tilt our heads in one direction together… We create memories online. I guess, pictures can speak for themselves now.

Webcam Pictures of February. We are also celebrating Yzzy’s 14th Birthday Monthsary! Mom and Dad loves you. Stay active!

Poor kid, doesn’t know how her mom misses her so badly behind those smiles. I’m just glad she listened to me when I told her she needs to be strong for me. And that she needs to smile a lot for me not to worry about her. And that she’ll be a good girl so Daddy won’t have any problems with her while I’m away. I can just imagine how strong my daughter is. Isn’t she? She’s just a kid but for me as a mom she is doing wonders. …

The first second, first minute, first hour of 2010 is celebrated with my family and my first degree cousins! HAHA! Hurray! We were all so noisy and excited to see everyone united in one conference… ^^

Here’s Tabby and Yzzy greeting Auntie Mendeth and Nikko. Nice bonnet you have there Yzzy! Baby in red for 2010!

Now here’s Hresil:

Now here’s a toast to a successful year!

Auntie Joy is multi-tasking here! Eating and typing! Hahaha.

Look at my little one! Loves to join in the fun!

Smile …

It just seems to be like yesterday when we had our first Christmas as a family of 3 - Tabby, me, and our new born Yzzy. Today, we celebrate Christmas somehow differently. Christmas on the webcam. Nothing beats seeing Yzzy smile and be so enthusiastic in front of the cam. It really makes me want to physically hug her. They’re going to Tabby’s mom’s place tonight to celebrate Christmas like last year. These screen shots were taken just before they would pack up ad leave.

The family prepared this …

Finally, I see the birthday celebrant smile again! It was a long day for her, she was not in a good mood earlier. She probably wanted some time to sleep. But hey, she jumps for joy and raises her arms when she hears Mommy over the speaker. She was talking blah-blah’s too… She was noisy! ^_^ Daddy was opening the gifts because Yzzy was busy “chatting” and “talking” to her Mommy who just can’t sleep at 4:30 AM! I know you wanted to share to me your happiness Yzzy. Seeing …
