This blog is not dead,well, at least not yet. There were so many things I’d like to share but was just overwhelmed with the moving, unpacking, and getting the house and environment ready for the arrival of baby E.
The physical work is almost done. The apartment is left with less than 10 boxes to put [...]

This is how I see glimpses of a little girl emerging from the little baby whom she used to be:
One day several weeks ago I came in from the balcony with a load of laundry in my arms. With the bump and the laundry, I couldn’t see what was before me, and as I took [...]

Miracles by Celine Dion on YouTube
I had one of those sleepless nights 2 days ago. At 5 in the morning, a dear friend, Juli shared with me the song Miracles by Celine Dion. As I listened to lyrics to the song, it really brought tears to my eyes. As silly as this might sound, considering [...]

One of my recent reads have been Elizabeth Noble’s “Things I want my Daughters to Know“. It’s quite strange reading in print what has been on my heart all these while even before I had children myself. I think it might be because my mummy left without leaving me with a special note/letter or something [...]

For the past one over year that we’ve lived here in Dubai, we’ve driven passed the Dubai Zoo countless times. It’s located in a strange situation, really. It’s in the midst of some residences and some shops, smack right in Jumeirah. Since Thea has started to show interest and excitement when introduced to small animals [...]

… but I don’t really know where to start again. It’s been so long that I’ve written consistently. There’s so much to update, yet the updates are not exactly the most recent. After a little while I’ve either forgotten what I’ve wanted to write about, or simply brushed them aside. As time passed by, I’ve [...]

1. Thea is picking up words very quickly. Sometimes she understands and knows how to apply the new words, but sometimes she just repeats it after us not knowing what it means. She has moved on from “gurk” for milk, and now says “merk”. Thea says “two, tee, foh, fai, sik…. teh!” Sometimes randomly she [...]

This happened a little more than a month ago but I thought it’d be a cute memory to note down.
There were 2 boys – 1 blond and 1 brunette. Both had really cute curls on their heads. They were buddies but yet they had very different personalities. The blond (aka little blond curls from hereon) [...]

I SO need to update this blog and I’d better do it before Thea wakes up this morning!
Alright, let’s start with little Thea, whom isn’t so little anymore.
1. Thea still sleeps on our bed and wakes up 2-3 times for milk/diaper change. It’s so tiring it’s not funny.
2. People say as the littles ones grow [...]

Happy 2010 everyone! I know it’s 20 days past, and I haven’t updated this blog since a month ago. I will do my best to bring this blog up to date these few weeks and hopefully not fall behind (too much) again!
Thea has fully recovered from her bout of sickness a couple of days after [...]
