Such a sweet one, my baby! ;p And now that she's learned to "smile!" when there's a camera around, what delight!

As the sunflower

that rears its head to the

wond'rous Sun

your sweet visage lights

glorious morning shine -

makes one unforget

the tap-tapping of the heart

as one does when love is.

your senses, all unmute-

palpable laughter, eloquent babble,

wide-eyed wonder.

such delight,sweet little one.

such love.

such life!

A bit of jealousy

I was on my way home yesterday when I remembered: I haven't bought pasalubong for Lia. So: I got off the jeep (yes, am really really saving now). And the moment I did, rain poured. Heavy drops.

I ran to McDonald's and sought shelter there - also, to buy fries for my baby. When I stepped out of the junk food chain, it was still pouring. Wanting to go home ASAP, I just walked in the rain, and headed to an area I knew I can get a cab. Soaking I was, but I was able to hail a cab.

When I got home, Lia smiled when she saw me. Then she got busy with her fries.

After filling her tummy, my baby, as usual, crawled all over the floor. Wanted to crawl out of the mat. Wanted to climb on the sofa and turn the light switch on and off. And of course, me, the doting mom, said "NO".

The little one cried. That was alright, except that she cried "Yaya!" and then ran to seek refuge with the nanny.

I never thought the sight would break my heart! How could my baby hate me already? (But then again, our mothers were asking that question before.)

I spent the night sounding off with Neil and him comforting me.

Sigh...
