At last, rain. I thought it would never come.
I have some time today so I thought I should blog a bit. Actually, I've been blogging every day. In my head. I've written hundreds of entries in my head but I haven't had the inclination to actually type them up. And they tell me I'm a writer.
In a couple of days, Jaden will turn three. He's excited about the bike we promised him for his brithday. (Thanks, Yayie!) I thought of getting him a birthday cake but I'm prolly not gonna go through that since he doesn't really like cake anyway. Maybe we'll get some ice cream and treat him to Jollibee instead and then spend an entire day in a playground or in a mall. That's his idea of heaven. I'm so proud of him. He speaks very clearly, as I've probably mentioned in my previous posts. And he loooves coloring books. He begged me yesterday to get him another one, which I did, a really thick one. Last night, he would ask either me or Joks to help him color a page. As I was coloring the sea blue green he told me, "O, Mommy 'wag mo ilampas. Nilampas mo naman e."
(As I type this, our cook is chopping up a storm. Roasted eggplant, by the smell of it. Or gulaman. She practically forced us to drink an entire pitcher of sago gulaman a while ago. She doesn't seem to realize that her energetic activities in the kitchen is somewhat bothersome to the other writers.)
Anyway, I brought one of his old coloring books to work today so I could trace some of the drawings and bring my tracings home to him. We have tons of scratch paper so I thought I'd make use of those. I've done about 10 this morning. Maybe I'll do some more before I go home. He's bound to be finished with the thick book we brought him last night, I think, so I better have some drawings for him on hand.
Now, I don't draw. My talents are apparently restricted to the printed word. But I do try and I wish that I could maybe take a lesson someday. Or, soon. Since having to buy as many as three coloring books a week will really put a huge dent in our monthly budget. I would post a drawing I made here but sadly, our scanner/printer is not working so maybe next time.
Leala, meanwhile, is five months old already and is very healthy, thank you very much. Here's a picture of my little princess. She has grown a lot and is, am happy to report, very cheerful.

Either that or I was just too lazy to stop and write here.
For the first time in years, I celebrated my birthday. Okay, let me explain. My birthdays were never really grand, festive occasions. I don't know why, though. It just happened that way. I always felt sad whenever my birthday rolled around, not because I was a year older but I never seemed to celebrate it right. Joks and I just usually went out to have dinner at a nice place and that would be it.
This year's birthday is different. And way more fun. The super cool and extremely gorgeous people at the office gave me a red velvet birthday cake. IT WAS AWESOME!!! That was my first birthday cake since my 7th birthday.
Thanks guys. And I got a really great birthday gift and note from them as well. Will post pictures as soon as I get over my lazy spell. Right now though, I have to get back to work. Been slacking for over an hour watching Mythbusters already so I have to bust my butt starting now.
