2010 was a very special year for me as the year opened its doors with a wedding blast last January 28, 2010. It was also the first year when my ex-boyfriend (now my husband) celebrated our birthdays as married couple. November 2010 turned out to be the one of the happiest days for us after learning that I was pregnant. This was subsequently followed by our garden wedding last December 2010. Alongside, it was also our first holidays as husband and wife.
I think 2011 was even happier when our son Marco Quintin "Echo" Fernandez was born last July 2011. As my husband has said, having Echo with us made our lives complete and more meaningful. 2011 was my first birthday year to have Echo with me. This is the same for my husband.
2012 is another meaningful year (thank God for all the blessings He brings each year). January was the first New Year as a family, February as first valentines and just recently, last May 13, 2012 was the first official Mothers Day for me. Since I was the duty officer for the past two days, I wasn't able to go home and spend that special day with Echo nor my husband. Nevertheless, the greetings and love sent through this modern age of communication made me feel how special that day was. So to fill my day, I just joined the very first "Lifesavers Run" sponsored by the Philippine Navy in cooperation with Yes Pinoy and other private and public sectors. Below are some of the photos taken.

The loot bag contains the following: Athena Milk, 100 plus energy drink, fit n right, select soy sauce, TV 5 pin and fan (they ran out of shirt) and magazine. |

Technically, that day became a "Mothers Day Run". It was a nice way to celebrate that day but of course for next year, I am looking forward to celebrate it with my family.
To all mothers out there, belated HAPPY MOTHERS DAY!!!

DeleteIt's good that you're staying fit now that you're a mom. Kids can be quite handful at times, moms need lots of energy :D
ReplyDeletedefinitely. its a must for all mothers to stay fit. our kids need us.
DeleteLooks like a really fun event! Congratulations, I'm sure you'd enjoy a lot more especially with your son around. ;)
ReplyDeletethank you!
DeleteI'm really inspired to see running moms. I'm quite lazy, I don't do marathons even if I'm able to. Kung kaya nga ng moms, ako pa kaya??? But I've just got a lazy ass and waking up at 4am for a run is too much of a drag for me. =(
ReplyDeleteCongratz on your marathon, though. =)
thanks po ^_^. i feel for you.. i just hate the early reveille. but the run itself is fun!
Deletegaling naman mommy Vee . . . join din kami :)
ReplyDeletethanks mommy Gi! sure!next time ill post sa AMO kapag may run akong sasalihan :)
Deletei never joined any event like this in my life.
ReplyDeleteHow I wish I can try even once. i used to be
a runner back in my elementary days. good for you
to have the chance and enjoyed it as well.
if you are in the metro, you may also enjoy the long list of runs being organized. but keep a closer look on the details since some run turn out to be bogus or failure. sayang pera. :)
DeleteBelated Happy Mother's Day to you... More blessings for your family in the years to come :)
ReplyDeletethank you.. ^_^
