Arabella, you are One today!

Dear Abie,

We still can't believe that you turned one today. It feels like it was only yesterday when we heard your first cry, held you in our arms, bathe you our fragile little one. It's amazing how Dad and I (with the help of your Titos and Titas) were able to survive our first year unscathed! We love every minute of every day spent with you Anak. You are OUR world now.

So how did your day went?
Well, you woke up earlier than usual (well, you rolled over to your crib, and when you realized you are not in our bed, you cried), a bit grumpy in the car, but didn't cry when Dad dropped you off at school.
Then in the afternoon, Dad and I went to visit you to join in your afternoon tea with your classmates. You had your birthday cake (baked inside the school), ate a lot of icing but only had a sip of water.
We then went home early and Dad cooked pansit and you had a taste --- it's for long life Anak.
And then, because we're home early, playtime is longer and we didn't have to rush everything.
By 8:30 you are in bed already.

On Saturday, we will have a big party for you baby, hopefully the weather will be better than the forecast (no rain please...).

We love you Arabella... To the moon and back!


Hugs and millions of kisses,
Mum and Dad

Investment Update

I checked my online account and was so happy to see that in one of my investments, I already have a paper gain of more than 100%!

My portfolio is looking so green, I am stoked!!! Mining is in red though but I am not too worried as the value will appreciate soon (fingers crossed)...

I started investing last April 2011 and actively traded for 2 months. After I fell pregnant, I kinda stopped trading and kept my stocks as in until a month ago when I bought a few hundred shares of MER. Today, I already have 4.4% gain on that stock. Overall, the initial investment I put in last April has earned me a paper gain of over 40% already, and that is less than two years!!! I'm itching to buy stocks again but I will wait until close to May (elections), I have a feeling stock prices will go down (but not too low to affect my portfolio).

Happy days!!!
