A year ago today, the most amazing moment of my life happened. Our first child, our daughter Renee Amelie.. A.k.a. "Rain" was born. Ever since that day, my life has never been the same. And truth be told, I wouldn't want it any other way.
Before she was born, I had contemplated putting an end to this blog, thinking that there was no way I would be able to financially maintain this blog and raise a child at the same time. Well, with the grace of God, and the support of Rina, that hasn't been the case. In fact, my blog has thankfully grown exponentially since last year, and i'd like to think that Baby Rain's adorable photos have been a contributing factor for that.
Case in point.. One of my readers left a message on my Thai Bistro Post:
"You know, aside from the pictures of the food you eat, I follow your blog because of Baby Rain hahahaha :D sooooo cute!!!!" - KC Astroboy
Hearing compliments like that, truly does warm my heart, because it doesn't matter how many hits my blog will ever get, or whatever accolade I may receive for it.. It is Rain that will forever be my life's greatest achievement.
Baby Rain would like to thank you all for the kind words and compliments that you all have been giving her the past year, by holding a special giveaway for some of her favorite clothes, from some of her favorite restaurants!
Since she's one of the image models for Bug & Kelly Music inspired Kids wear, Baby Rain is giving away one of these adorable dress sets (Shoes not included) to three different readers!

Hi, Baby Rain! 10 years from now, you might be able to read all these birthday greetings from different people (most of whom, you don't even know. But I am pretty sure that you'll be proud of your dad for doing this especially for you. 15years from now, I hope you're not even thinking of having a boyfriend yet. Haha! I can imagine your dad holding a fork and knife, ready to dig in to the lucky guy. Hahaha! But for now, enjoy playing with your toys and continue inspiring your parents because you are indeed a blessing. I wish you grow up into a fine, God-fearing and loveable lady. Happy Birthday, Rain! God Bless!
ReplyDeletePS: If you get to read this years from now and your dad can't type anymore because of arthritis and old age, please continue the blog and live on with your dad's legacy as the pickiest eater in the world. Just don't indulge yourself into bacon THAT much, okay?
Happy Birthday! Have a blast! :))
