Christmas with Miguel

I did not prepare a spectacular, extravagant gift for Miguel this year because I had to keep in mind that I got him loads of stuff throughout the year. Add to that a trip to Hongkong and Boracay. I don't want to spoil him. So, to add pizzazz to my Christmas gift, I set-up a scavenger hunt for him and here's how it went-

Miguel and Mom Goes to Boracay!

Last weekend, Miguel and I on a whim packed our bags and headed for a short R&R in Boracay! It was raining quite a bit, but ti stopped for a while and Miguel managed to squeeze in some swim time. He most certainly enjoyed the waves, but ended up with a slight fever and cough in the evening. Oh well, at least I have finally managed to make him experience a domestic flight, a ferry ride and see a little bit of Boracay!

I wonder where our next stop will be. Hmm...

Sundays with Miguel

I have been following this routine for the past 13 years every Sunday -

8:30 a.m. - Wake up Miguel and tell him to take a bath. Sleep again.
9:00 a.m. - Wake up. Take a bath.
9:20 a.m. - Leave for Church
9:30 a.m. - Hear mass with Miguel. Serve in the Choir.
10:30 a.m. - Hi and hellos with friends.
11:00 a.m. - Head home. Pick-up Mom and Dad.
11:15 a.m. - Fit everybody in the car, Mom, Dad, Miguel and a couple of friends. Head for SMB.
11:20 a.m. - Lunch at McDo or wherever with Mom, Dad, Miguel and friends.
12:30 p.m. - Shopping.
2ish p.m. - Home.

A bit boring I know, but we normally deviate at least once a month. I realized though that with my friends moving, things are definitely going to change sometime soon. Oh well...

And the highlight of the day...

Miguel and Mom Jammin' #1: Leavin' on a Jet Plane

Miguel's been taking guitar lessons the past few weeks and since I got him a new guitar he's been practicing quite a bit. His Lolo has been requesting us to do a tandem and here is our very first recording.

Eeep! Please remember we're not really learned on the art of singing lol.

Notice how telegenic my boy is?

How Will I Survive?

My family and friends have been clamoring for Miguel to move out of my room... for more than 5 years now!!!

We attempted several times, but time and time again he'd go back to my room. I thought he wasn't going to move down with me to the basement, but he eventually did and due to a "floating" incident due to heavy floods, I had to put a real bed for him in my room at the basement.

Anyway, this time it's for real. He's moving on his 13th birthday. He has to. And he has to be weaned away from me. Which I think is the other way around - I have to be weaned away from him. Boohuhuhuhu.

How will we do this baby?
