Wow, has it been that long?
Just for everyone's info, I'm going thru quite a few "issues" at the moment. But irregardless, I'm doing OK. Really. I am. I'm not ready to share my innermost feelings and thoughts with the world. Ergo, I don't blog. I can't blog. Coz if I do, everything will spill which is something I don't want right now.
It may seem like a huge deal. But it really isn't. Not anymore. I'm ok now. Thankfully. I've got the most amazing friends and family. That has truly made ALL the difference. No words can ever come close to how thankful I am for all of you.
For all those concerned, don't worry. Seriously. I'm happy. EXTREMELY happy. Why? Coz I know I'm loved. Coz I feel I'm loved. Any problem in the whole world will never be able to overpower the kindness, comfort, support, encouragement, friendship and true love that my family and friends show me every single day. They have given me a sense of hope. And peace.
So, now it's not that big of a deal anymore. And it's all because of you. And that's one of the million reasons why I love you more than words can ever say.
Gosh, how emotional! hehehe Time for lunch *smirk

I was supposed to post this post yesterday... Oh well.
Happy Birthday Daddy!!!
Wow... how time flies. But what's amazing is that my dad gets younger and younger every year! I'm so blessed to have one fantabulous daddy!!! I would never ever trade him for anyone else in the whole entire universe. Such a good-lookin guy (that's why Mommy had a crush on him hehe). So charming. He's such a sweet-talker! What I love about my parents is that even though they've been married for more than 20 years, they STILL act as if they're young lovers at the peak of their relationship. He's always looking out for me. Making sure a lotta guys don't "bother" me. Heheh I remember the first time a guy called my house. He answered the phone and he goes, "Hello, who's this? I'm her FATHER." Hahahahaha How he'd always go, "Your skirt's too short" or "Your shirt is too transparent, it's like an xray!" How punctual he is! He's always on the dot! So, he'd always be particular with time. He's one smart guy. He knows tidbits of information on everything. The greatest listener in the world. He may be over 50 but he's got style. He still gets looks from the laydees hehe He always make us feel special. He'd always surprise with flowers, chocolates, extra allowance, dinners, etc. Such a role-model. I could go on and on about how amazing my dad is but that would take a while *smiles*.
I'm so thankful to have my Dad as my father. I've definitely felt the love of a father. I'm even more thankful that our father-daughter relationship gets stronger and stronger with each year that passes by. I pray that Lord would bless you with many many many more birthdays to come. Don't ever change. He's taught me sooo much and yet I still learn so much from him. He's such an inspiration and truly one of the few people I look up to. You're everything a daughter could wish for.
Adju Dad.

Yeah I know I was going on and on about the Valentine's dinner party. Well I did not go. I was a little annoyed at first actually. Coz I paid the entrance fee and the ticket (ok, well my mom did) and they called me on the day of the party and told me that babies/children are not allowed. What perfect timing! I even bought Stefanie a dress and a tiara! I even got myself a dress! Oh well... the night didn't turn out so bad after all anyway. My brother went to a prom. My mom and dad ended up going to the dinner party. Mom and Dad wanted to stay home with me coz they didn't want me to be alone on Heart's Day... how sweet! Gosh, I absolutely love my parents! Anyway, as I was saying, my mom and dad ended up going to the dinner party. Stefanie and I stayed home. We watched cartoons, ate chocolate together (messy messy messy), played and played and played, I did all kinds of hairdos on her and me, we laughed like crazy, shouted like crazy, sang and danced and had an amazing amazing time. It may not seem like much for all you people who are "child-less", but it was one of the best nights of my entire life. That was Stefanie's first Valentine's Day. I was a little annoyed at first that we couldn't go to the party but it turned out to be a great thing. I'm soooo glad I got to spend this year's heart's day with my daughter. *smiles and siighs* I love you Stef. Oh so much. Truly. Madly. Deeply. More than you'll ever know. I love you more and more with each second that passes by. Incomprehensible? Yeah, that's how much I love you. Best girlfriends for life!
It's amazing how no matter how bad things get... I just take one look at Stefanie, one look at her smile and all those problems don't seem to matter as much. Her laugh, her smile, her sparkling eyes, the look of innocense, her laugh, her baby-talk, her singing, her dancing, the way she holds my hand, the way she hugs me, the way her eyes light up when she sees me, the way she wakes me in the middle of night to give me a kiss (sometimes a really wet one hehe), how curious she gets, how she listens to me, how she seems to understand, how she tries to cheer me up when I'm down (she seriously knows!), the way she crawls, the way she tries to stand on her own, the way she tries to balance herself, how she misses me when I'm not there, how she talks to me on the phone, how she hugs her stuffed-animals, how adorable she is when she makes that "mmmmm" sound when she likes what she's eating, how she runs on her walker, how she runs to me and tells me to carry her, how she calls me "mama" and absolutely anything and everything about her..... PRICELESS!
My mom said once, "You're a princess who has a princess of her own." Well said! I'm so blessed. Even though I have a daughter, my parents STILL treat me like their baby girl. As my dad always says, "No matter how old you get, you'll always be our babygirl." =D They spoil me with love, care and lotsa goodies hehehehe But as Cris said, we're spoiled but we're not spoiled brats. =D Our parents spoil us with the "right" things. I love my family. I would never ever ever EVER trade them for anyone else in the whole entire universe! What's amazing in my family is that we're all best friends. Seriously. Thank you for everything! ADJU 4EVER!!!
I pray that Stefanie and I share the same bond I share with my parents and brother.
*smiles* Being a Mom is seriously... the BEST feeling in the world! For all you "child-less" people out there, you'll understand one day.

*french accent* Oh... the day of love. The day of the celebration of love. The day we "remember" what it means to be loved, to love and to belong. I'm so thankful that I've got people to love. I'm also thankful to be loved. It's an amazing feeling. Oh... Love. The greatest power in the world. Love. Something we cannot live without... no matter how much you deny it. That's why we're here in the first place. Coz of Love. I'm glad there's a day to remember what it means to love, to be loved and to belong. But you know what? Everyday should be a Valentine's Day... Oh Love. It's great huh? L'amour. *hahaha*
*back to my original accent* Happy Valentine's Day everyone! Have a GREAT one.

I truly have the GREATEST friends ever!
I'm so thankful! You have no idea. You all know who you are. You guys have been with me thru thick and thin. All of you have proven that time, distance, or any other factor cannot separate us. Words cannot even begin to express how much I love each and every one of you. Thanks for making me smile and laugh when no one else couldn't. Thanks for all the comfort, encouragement and support you've given me (even though I told u guys I could handle things on my own). Thank you for being stubborn enough to make sure I was 101% OK even though I dishonestly told you guys I was OK. Thanks for seeing thru me. For understanding me. For all the advises. For being my shoulder to cry on. For being willing to listen to me. For putting up with me. For all the good times. The crazy times. For all the memories. I shall treasure all of them in my heart. I love you all. More than words can say.
*smiles and siiiiighs* It's great knowing you have TRUE friends.

Yeah... I am happy. Such a good day.
Stefanie was in an incredible mood throughout the whole day. Always smiling and laughing. Thankfully, her gums didn't hurt. Yeah, more teeth on the way. My babygirl's growing up =). Right now, she's got 2 teeth in the center of her lower gum. She's 8 months tomorrow. Wow... 8 months! It doesn't feel that long at all. How time flies. She's sleeping right now. Aww... she looks so adorable. *siiiigh* I'm so blessed!!! *huge ear-to-ear chinky-eyed smile*
Everything went great at Church. My piano skills are really improving! I've finally mastered the piano. My parents bought me an organ when I was 7 or something with the hope of me taking actual piano classes and stuff. But I never got the chance to. However, in the past 4 months, I started to learn how to play on my own. And wow, I've been hooked on playing the piano ever since. Next on my list would have to be mastering the guitar, base and drums.
After church, my family and close friends went out for coffee. Fun fun fun. I don't know about you guys but there's just something about the atmosphere of a coffee house that's just really "addicting". It's like you don't wanna leave the place. You could spend hours and hours and hours there and never get bored. Endless conversations. Reminiscing about the past. Dreaming about the future. Making fun of people. Corny jokes. Real laughter. Coffee coffee coffee. Kudos to whoever opened the first coffee shop.
After that, we went shopping. I'm going to that Valentine's Dinner Party. WOOHOO! So we all got something for the big party. Can't wait! I love dressing up! ... Oh how I miss prom!... Prom was AMAZING! We had our prom on a boat. We sailed for like 5 hours I think. We had a limo and everything! Gowns, tiaras, got our hair done, exceptional makeup, too-die-for manicures and pedicures, intense shopping, crazy dancing and loads more. We had the most amazing DJ! The best part was I didn't even pay a dime! My date paid for everything - my gown, hair, limo, prom tickets, after-party entrance fees, etc. Lucky huh? But no, my date wasn't Patrick. I didn't know him then. His name was Gary. Interestingly enough, I spent most of the night with my friends. (Gosh, I hope he doesn't read this.) Hehe If you're reading this, don't worry, I had a great time. No doubt about that. Although I wish I had gone with Patrick........ oh well. =D
It's around 11:10 pm. So I'm gonna go. Night night ~_^
