Welcoming Christmas with a Full Heart

This may be super random as I sit alone in a hotel coffee shop watching the sunset. It is actually a funny surprise and an unplanned me time because I have been preparing all day for our Ingress for the Baby Expo we will be joining this weekend and we were a tad early as the truck carrying our module is still stuck in traffic, I decided to bring Gab to Gymboree here in Sofitel to kill some time. And so here I am working on my ipad and shocked to realize that "i don't have any pending work! no more emails to answer or inquiries etc." So I decided to make a blog post that probably is my last for the year 2013. I would just like to share with you how happy I am with my endeavors and turn ups for the past 12months.

Business is doing great I would say and I am happy to be able to make new connections and discover great friendships. We have a lot going on and crossing our fingers, My Baby Dragon is going to take a big leap on 2014. Of course everything we worked so hard for will not be possible withhout the great and overwhelming support of the mommy community! Big thanks and a super bear hug to all our clients, partners, suppliers and retailers. Let us tap ourselves on the back and do a jumping high five!

Gaby just got out of the hospital because of a fever that she had for 5 days on and off. We were quite worried as the cbc showed signs of dengue but I prayed and prayed that it's not. Thankfully it was just "tigdas hangin" that she must have gotten from a children's party we attended or maybe in school. I blamed myself and also thought that even though I am so persistent on breastfeeding her, why did she still catch the measles. The doctor then assured me that these things happen and it is not because her immne system is weak. You will see how good her immune system is by observing how fast she recovers from the disease. I am so proud of my daughter because it took her only 3 days and she is measles free again! In fact, even during her feverish times, she was still bubbly and laughing!

In light of the typhoon Yolanda, we have also been doing a lot of volunteer work with my brother's teAm of 4x4 enthusiasts who are very dedicated to helping the victimes rise from this calamity. I helped them gather donations and coordinated their trips to Tacloban and other affected areas. We are doing all we can even just for the efforts and time that we can contribute. We will soon have a team of architect from Australia that will help the communities build their lives back. This is a time when we can see how charitable the filipino spirit is and even though some of the people in the government are doing their corrupt jobs, we sincerely hope that private NGO organizations like ours will continue to help rebuild the affected areas.

Lastly, (as I have to cut this post short now) I would like to congratulate my sister who will soon be making a big announcement! I can't say yet but we are all very excited for next year!

Let's all welcome the Christmas with a full heart. A heart filled with satisfaction, appreciation and LOVE.

SINCERELY HERE,
