out with charm

it has been four long months since the last time i was with charmaine and my god daughter kayla which was on kayla's christenign back in january. just to really mention how long it has been, kayla, who is now a year and two months old, can walk and talk. i mean, she can say, "hi ninang"( godmother) and can point out to different things and creatures and actually know their names such as "dodie" for doggie, birdie, "bata" (kid in tagalog).if you ask her what her name was, she smiles and responds, "kah-la" (for kayla). i literally have to chase her now that she is walkign faster than i even thought. the last tiem i saw her, she was barely crawling. whew, even my mother was impressed. we are talking about a year old child here.

well, it was claire's daughter cj's birthday today. so charm, shane, kayla, and i drove an hour to norwalk to be at the child's birthday party in a park in cerritos. well, i met coupe of people. it was mostly catching up on the old times. i miss my god daughter kayla. we bonded so much today. she held my hand tightly the entire time we were together, she played with me endlessly, she didn't even care that her mother was away because she was with me all the time, we laughed together. it was so fun. she mingled with the kids and i watched her play with them.

boy, how time flies so fast. just past a year ago, i was helping charm out getting her prenatal care done and now, kayla is walking and running and picking flowers and pronouncing it as "plawers." i really feel old. sometimes, i am thinking how much i love kids. i used to talk to glenn about havign our own kids someday when the time is right. it was strange because right after the party, charm, shane and kayla hang around our pad and watched the laker game ( by the way, LAKERS won again!). and ironically, while i was thinking about these specualtions about kids. the phone rang. coincidentally, glenn called, kayla picked up the phone and charm instructed her to say, "hi ninong" to glenn. and glenn started giggling.

well, it was a day with plain fun but yet, i enjoyed beign in the company of people who i knew for a long time and people who stood up for me through thick and thin. .
