2008 and Beyond

This is my first official blog entry for 2008. I’ve been busy with work and other stuff (read: PSP gaming, ha!) the past few weeks.

Conne and I agree that 2007 has generally been a good year for our family, and we’re looking forward to this year, hoping that it’ll pick up from last year.

Our son CJ is growing up fast and, at 2, is showing signs of being mentally and emotionally mature for his age. We hope that his precociousness and sweetness keep up for this year.

Conne’s career has taken off as well. She finally got the management job she deserved, even at her young age. I’m really proud of her. I envy how she can handle many job functions adeptly, whereas most people, including myself, have trouble handling just one. And don’t forget to add the task of being a mother to a “terrible twos” tyke. She’s a prototypical superwoman.

My mom has finally re-married and now lives in the US with her loving husband, Dan. We’re happy because we know they’ll take good care of each other and love each other so much. We’ve also welcomed a new addition to the Catarroja clan (Conne’s family) courtesy of Perci and Cienne (Conne’s sister). They finally have a son – Isaiah – or Ice, as we fondly call him. “Kuya” CJ has a new playmate, and we can see how much he adores his younger cousin.

And so, we thank the Lord for everything. 2007 has been a good year, and with His blessing, we hope 2008 will be a smashing success.

And we hope and pray that you and your family will have a great year, too! Cheers!
