A Piece of Me - December 2009 Edition

This month....I like: To finally finish my Christmas shopping. Was in Manila for the weekend and ended up buying stuff for me, Jacob and Ron, instead of the people on my list. Can't help it!
I'd also like to finish planning for Jacob's first birthday party next month (January 3). The pressure is on!

I don't like: Last minute shopping. So stressful!

I want you to know: This is Jacob's first Christmas.

I've planned: To have a peaceful Christmas.

I want to say to someone special: Thank you for the Manila trip hon. We needed that!

Bittersweet

My hubby and I are going to Manila tomorrow! Aaah! It was all so sudden, yesterday was our 3rd wedding anniversary. We were having dinner at Marco Polo and he was asking me where I wanted to spend the weekend: Pearl Farm Resort, Cebu, or Manila. I said Manila because I haven't been there since 2003 or 2004 (see? I can't even remember).

But amidst the excitement, there's Jacob. We decided not to bring him so Ron and I can have some time for ourselves, 'coz this year has been about Jacob. It breaks my heart to leave him (even if it's just for 3 days!) 'coz I know he'll be missing us and wondering where we were. But his Lola Carmen will stay with him and his Lola Dolly and Lolo Carlos will visit so at least he won't feel so lonely.

We'll be staying at the Heritage Hotel since it's the closest to Mall of Asia.

If it weren't for this huge migraine, I'd be so giddy right now.
