Little Dude Goes to BRC

One of the two long weekends last August (couldn't remember which one), Jax, Marcus, and I drove to Batangas to go to BRC - as in Batangas Racing Circuit.  It was actually just hubby who was supposed to go but I got surprised when I asked him if we could tag along, he said yes.  Para naman daw our little dude would remember his dad as the racer. (Whatever! *This is me not so much a fan of the husband's car racing hobby*)

The reason for us going there was for an event sponsored by Jax's car club, MLPH.  It was I think their 99th GEB. 

Ok, let's do a photoblog.

That's hubby giving a lecture on safety driving and tips on how to get the best possible time inside the track

Here's my pa-bida son who was distracting his dad's lecture!

Little dude feeling like he was one of the big guys who were taking care of event logistics

So gwapo my little big boy!

"Daddy, someday I wanna race too!" *mommy faints*

Our friends for the day.  We just stayed in the air-conditioned room overlooking the tracks as the paddocks weren't exactly child-friendly

Playing with the pylon.  Can you imagine how kulit he is?

Highlight of my day (hihi) - a photo with Ramon Bautista, who also happens to be an MLPH member

A few months ago, Jax said we should do the things we used to do when we were still just boyfriend-girlfriend, and one of my girlfriend/fiancee duties back then was to be with him on his slalom or circuit races.  I must admit it was refreshing to go back to the stuff we always did before.  I remember we would travel to as far as Subic on successive weekends and end up riding a tow truck on our way back to Manila because then-boyfriend's car broke down!  I think this experience was a good reminder of how we spent at least 2 years of our relationship just having fun and wasting money before we got married.

This is far different now because I have to chase around a very active little dude but hopefully, when Marcus is bigger, we could go with his dad more frequently.  I'm not saying I'm tolerating the daddy's addiction to car racing, but I think it would still be cool to have a family bonding activity, especially one that Jax would extremely enjoy, like this once in a while.

Ok ba, dad? ;)

What Made My Day Today

During lunch yesterday, I was telling my good friend Lei about how I realized how tiring being a wifey could be, to which she replied with, "Ang galing mo nga e!"

My usual workday starts at 6am and ends well, about 9pm-ish. When I wake up, I fix breakfast and/or lunch for Jax because he doesn't eat ALL DAY unless there's something to just re-heat in the microwave. At around 7:30am, off I go to work where I have to finish everything in 8 hrs (no overtime pleeeease!). When I get home, I prepare our dinner and cap the day with tidying up the house.

Tiring. Super.

What then, you ask, made my day? I came home with all the dishes I left this morning neatly washed and piled exactly the way I want it - by Jax! Definitely a first.

I couldn't take the smile off my face and rushed to hubby's side to give him a hug. Not only because he made my life easier today but more importantly, I can really feel how much my baby's changed for me... for us. I know he's trying to be the best husband he could possibly be.

Thank you, hubbybabi. Thanks for making me happy more and more each day. :)
