Growing up

My little one turned 5 last February.  And he's so proud that he's 5.  He now eats with us on the dinner table, when before he ate on his table.  He started to shower on his own, although still with adult supervision.  He now sleeps on his own bed, although still in the same room as us, and it's actually just an extension of our bed.  And he's learned to bike without the training wheels.  In fact yesterday, we biked around our village together.  Can't wait to bring him to bike with us going to Cardiac Hill!

Family of bikers :)

I haven't...

Seemed like I've forgotten about my blog.  But I haven't really.  Life just happened.  No, more like, life overtook me.

April was a frenzy of activity.  Attending birthday parties almost every weekend.  And my two sisters graduated.  Trip home.  A cousin from Canada came home.  White water rafting - the best!  Zip line in Bukidnon - Asia's longest and coolest!  Then I had to attend to my Mama's operation.

I tell yah, life really did overtake me.  I'm not sure if I've mentioned this before, but I'm the most un-athletic person I know.  And I know a few.  But I've recently taken on a sport, which I feel I will stick it out with.  Biking.  Mountain biking to be exact.  Though, I have to bike on a real mountain and I bike mostly on paved roads, I have taken to biking.  The hubs actually was the first who got interested and he then bought me a bike too. 

In our neighborhood, most bikers ride to Ayala West Grove.  It's an uphill climb of about 3 kilometers.  I never thought I could get there.  The first try, I stopped 3 times.  Then next try, I stopped twice.  On the third try, I had a one quick stop.  But now, I already bike all the way non-stop.  I'm eyeing the "Cardiac Hill" in about a month's time.  I don't wanna push myself too much :)
