juneeee!
happy june! another long overdue post.. sorry i've been so MIA.. lots of things have been going on and i've been pushing this to the side :( SORRY!
so i've been working two days - and i love it! it's such a thrill to get back to work.. and it's a nice refresher to get out of the house~ i think it's a really great opportunity and i'm really excited.
we finally purchased the package for our wedding.. it includes 80% of our wedding stuff like the wedding dress(es), photoshoot.. etc, etc.. the only thing i have to worry about is the flowers, dj/mc and the lighting. i'm SO happy that we got this out of our way because i realized i only have 7 months til our wedding and i literally had nothing done. but now i feel like now that i got the contract signed, i can finally start to plan.
james is not a "baby" anymore! :( he's growing up so fast i'm really sad! haha.. he's been imitating us a lot recently and it's kinda amusing to see~~ :) he's def. more social but still isn't saying words, but is pointing at things and babbling! i was actually thinking about how he grew so fast today.. i don't even remember how he started to crawl. :( i wish he can stay this little forever but i know it's not possible.. haha *sigh* oh - and he also waves and goes "haa" when we see him and "baaa" when we're about to leave.. lol it's so hard to go out when i see him at the balcony door waving at me! ahhhhhhhhh.. i love him too much~

i uploaded a video of james laughing.. something almost exactly similar to this one about a year ago but he looks like a different person!

long overdue update
hi all, sorry i haven't been blogging recently! so much has been going on, and i was putting this to the side! anyways, the past month.. sooo many things has happened! first off, i turned 27!! (yay) haha. i think i officially stopped celebrating after 25. maybe i'll do something big at 30.. but after 25, i feel like it's the same. :\ so on my birthday hubby took me out for a nice dinner, and honestly we're just trying to save up for our upcoming wedding ceremony next year that we're trying to budget~ i was just happy to spend some time with him alone~ :)
i've also been going on interviews left and right because i really want to start working again, and it's been tough because i haven't heard back from most of them... until!! i finally got a job! i'm actually really excited to work because i've been seeing listings on craigslist for this job and i thought it'd be really cool if i worked there.. i did apply to a couple but never heard back from them until last week.. and i got the job! i'll be working for equinox as an esthetician. i was surprised that they have a spa, but it looks really nice and i'm super happy that i'm going to start working again.
yesterday was mothers day- happy late mothers day to all you mothers out there! i think being a mother will be the toughest job i ever have. honestly i still look at my baby and sometimes i think to myself, "is this real..?" sometimes it just all seems like a dream. everyday he surprises me with the way he thinks and with his actions and i can't believe he's growing up so fast. i remember the first two months i was such a mess.. i didn't even have any time to eat or shower because i had no idea what to do with the baby and everything was so new to me, but if i had to do it all over again i definetely would. i know it's only been almost a year and a half since he's been brought into this world, but i'm SO curious for what the future has for him and want to fast forward so i can take a little sneak peak at it, but on the other hand i want time to pause or be in slow motion because i literaly want to cherish all this time i have with him.
i know that it will only get harder and there will be major obsticals i have to overcome to become a better mother.. but james has taught me that there are no limits when it comes down to him. now i know how my mom feels about her children and what she had to go through.. all the sacrifices she made for us.. i truely admire her and i'm so blessed to have a role model like her. it must've been so hard raising a wild child like me~ haha :P
love you mom. i love you so much. you are my best friend, and my back bone. thank you for your unconditional love and always supporting me in whatever i do. the love and respect i have for you.. words cannot express. love you love you LOVE you!!!!!!!!!!! <3

random post at 1:42am.. lol
i don't know why but i was going through james' pictures when he was first born. there's a picture of me holding james.. and i remember it was the weirdest feeling. i was thinking to myself, "wow... is he really here? am i really holding my son right now?" it was just so... weird? reality... i guess. as i'm writing this i'm looking at the baby monitor checking if james is doing okay (he has a fever of 102 and he threw up before) and i'm still getting this feeling.. like.... wow. i really have a son! lol.. total randomness.. anyways....
i was left alone for a bit after james was born because dennis went home to change and to shower and all of that... and i remember i was trying to feed him for the first time. it was all new to me so i didn't know what i was doing and i was scared. what if i was feeding him wrong? what if i hurt his neck... what if he's uncomfortable? but the only thing that ran across my mind was.. he's mine. i have to do what it takes to make him happy and he's my responsibility.
it was still so weird.. there was this little baby in front of me.. moving, yawning.. squirming.... and now he's walking around, clapping his hands... scary how time flies~ but i am so thankful for our precious baby. he is the joy of all of our lives and it's such a great feeling! oh.. baby is crying. must end post here. haha gnite everyone!

goodbye vacation...
our two week vacation is now over... sigh. i had a BLASSSSSSSSST! i think it was also because we went with our friends... being around good company is always the best. but i will def. miss this so much. this was the most memorable trip i've ever had!
just a quick recap*
we stayed in san jose after we left vegas.. our friends moved out here and we decided to come visit them and i'm soooooo glad we did! i had more fun here than in vegas to be honest... the food out here is amazing! ugh. i def. gained 10 pounds from eating so well here. haha =x so the first two days it was "supposed" to rain but it ended up being sunny so we basically stayed in.. but it was still fun. we also went to in & out and checked out santana row and spent the rest of the week going to napa valley and san fransisco. more pictures will be posted up as soon as i get home!
but seriously.. i'm gonna miss this so much. :( and i also know that james is going DEF. going to miss this too because he was so used to being around so many people.. now it's just going to be us when we get back. :( he's also going to miss mochi (their doggy) and is going to miss playing catch with her. they played so well together! it was the cutest thing. :(
frank! you were the best roomie.. puahaha it's really scary how you and dennis are SO alike.. you guys even look alike. maybe you guys were brothers in the past life.....? (seriously). but thanks for teaching james so many things!! miss you already bro<3
sanil~ next time we go to vegas we need to watch more shows & play bj together :) dosais soon!!! <3
i want to thank our friends mike & mae for the hospitality.. you guys were more than generous to us and we will never forget it! thanks so much!!! and thank you for taking us around and showing us an amazing time here! we're going to miss you guys & mochi so much!! (and the food =x) next time though.. we'll def. cook for you guys!! see you soon <3
and last but not least~~ thanks hubby for everything! you're the best. :) the best everything!!! i had such a wonderful time.. and so did james~ love you so much. :)
