My One-Year-Old

April — Sun, 14 Aug 2011 21:00:23 +0000

My mother-in-law celebrated her 51st birthday. All her children except her eldest, who is now in the US, attended her party. Lordly and I pledged to bring spaghetti ingredients and ice cream. They prepared the main dish. Sandie, my sister-in-law, bought the cake. This was a multiple celebration. It is my husband’s despidida party for his business and training trip to the US and a sort of a celebration also of Cedric turning 1 year and 3 months. He is amazing. He has learned that which is usually acquired by a 2 year old baby. For me, my son is really advanced. He can do more than just walking. He runs fast and climbs as easily as if he were used to it. He really has strong arms and legs. But no matter how smart he is, his baby instincts still showed when at his Grandma’s house he saw unfamiliar faces like his Aunt Honey and Uncle Kerwin. Most of the time he enjoys going out but this day was different. It was not his day. He was more grumpy than happy. But everything turned out just fine when his Grandpa caught his attention with a megaphone. He was so amazed at how this bell like thing could make such a loud noise. He was so curious he really wanted to touch it. All because of that Aunt Honey was able to carry him and he did not complain.

Excited to work!

I went on a vacation leave for a long time. I took advantage of the opportunity of not having an assignment at work. I needed to rest because I am experiencing nausea and vomiting. It just happens any time of the day. If I ate too much, I vomit. If I get hungry, I do the same. It is confusing when and when not to eat. But this reminds me of the phrase “too much or too little of something is bad”. So now, I am trying to eat just enough for myself so I won’t feel sick.

While at home, I took care of my baby Cedric. It was fun being with him especially now that he is learning a lot of interesting things. Most of them surprise me at how fast he has been growing not just physically but also mentally. He is only a year old and you can already ask him to get something for you, keep something for you. He learns fast and is able to retain it like words and pictures. He is now able to associate words with pictures as well. He loves books. There is not a single day that he would not ask you to sit down with him and read the stories for him or flip the pages with him. He just loves those colorful illustrations. Cedric has also improved physically. He is a very good climber. He has really strong arms and legs. He has also gained weight but not as much because he is very active. Good thing he eats all healthy foods and drinks a lot of water and milk. He is just wonderful and I always thank GOD for such a wonderful and lovely blessing. My long vacation was a very fruitful and worthwhile one.

Last night, I received a message and I was asked by my manager to report back to work. Although I do not want to go back and stay at home because I still feel the same (actually I think it’s getting worse) I needed to go back because I already ran out of leave credits. If I continue to be absent, I won’t be receiving any pay. It has been a long time now. I wonder what the changes are in the office. I hope I will be able to handle this new team I am assigned to. I hope I will be able to meet the demands of this new account. I hope I can still make this team a success just like the ones I handled before. I have so many things in mind and I am a bit worried but nevertheless I am excited to go back to work.

Rubik’s Cubing

April — Mon, 12 Jul 2010 23:34:37 +0000

I bought a rubik’s cube like a long time ago and it has been sitting on my desk and I could not figure out what to do to solve it. Well, I know a little of programming before so I know all about algorithms and I thought I also need one to solve my cube but I do not know how or where to start. So, I stopped daydreaming and gave up trying to become Albert Einstein and went to youtube to look for help. I got interested on this step-by-step tutorial and I started following the instructions. Although the algorithms seem to be difficult to remember at first I was able to internalize it without looking my cheat sheet which I made while watching the last 2 videos and there I just solve my own rubik’s cube! whew!!!
