BoogieBoo Part 3 - A trip Home and back


 Hi Everyone! I'm Tristan - AKA Mr BoogieBoo. My dad is probably exaggerating right now but I can only say 'Der', 'Mam-mam' and 'Tatatata.....'! Anyways, here a little update on my journey so far

A TRIP TO WEWAK

A lot of things happened in the life of BoogieBoo during the span of time since my last post. he traveled! Yes, and this time with mummy and daddy. He traveled home to Wewak, to see his 'GGMa' (Great Grand Ma) and 'GGPa' (Great Grand Pa) who were over the moon to hold him in their arms.

It was a short stay. One visit, and back to our humble home in the big city. Who knows if we will ever visit the grannies again - only time will tell. Grandma and Grandpa went home too. This means, after our return, Mr BoogieBoo had to adjust to a new environment and a new baby sitter - Mummy Hilu. Mummy and Daddy still had to go to work! Mummy sacrificed her first few days to stay back and care for him until the new Mummy Hilu arrived with baby Darrel (Thank you mummy, we love you!).

A month into the new phase of life, he is just flourishing. Since he started eating and crawling, he has become more and more interactive, and responds very well to gestures. Coming home every day after work just to hold him in our arms replenishes and fills our heart with joy and happiness. We love you Mr BoogieBoo. 

He is always surprising us with new things every day. Thursday 28 January 2021, he crawled the longest distance in all fours. I always wondered how happy he would feel when he could move on his own as long as he is no longer licking the floor/mat/mattress like he used to. 

MARCH TO MAY

Tristan likes to play with hard objects, wash inside his laundry bucket, grab chairs to stand up, sleep inside his hammock, play with uncle Lloyd's guitar (more like pushing it around and pull the strings), take serious-face photos with dad.

Within the month of March to April, he started lifting himself up to pull things from the table down. 

In May, he was already standing on his own for a few seconds, then falls down onto his bum sending a thick smoke of power out the pores of his diaper. I think he knows how to use a phone now because he loves picking up my phone and putting it on his ear - sometimes too far to the back of his neck!

He is learning to point to things and play hide and seek. Next month would be his 1 year birth day. We don't celebrate birthdays or make parties but it is a milestone. This little guy has officially been with us for a year!

MY JOURNEY INTO ADULTHOOD - Part 1

Image
It has been a pretty busy time of my life in the past years 2016-2021. I was busy with work, trying to find what works for me in this new life. I've been through so many crossroads and choices that I had to make over these few years outside of my comfy parents laps. Here's a bit of reflection over those years (If I can remember correctly). OCTOBER 2016  After I left university, I decided not to go home, but to pursue employment in PNG's most densely populated city of Port Moresby - the city of the filthy rich, the struggling middle-class, thugs and cultural and societal misfits. For me, it was a place to find a decent job. It wasn't too long before I figured it's not as easy as it was presented to us in the comforts of a lecture room. I bet all under-grads had the same dream as I had, thinking we've made it in life going into a University and it should be all downhill from there, getting a good job owning a house a car. Well that is not the case, as soon as you

YouTube as a YoutTuber part II

Image
From my last post - I was just starting. I didnt know what to expect from being a beginer, ie 'Brukim bush' as we say in Tok Pisin. Anyways for PNG Fighting Compilation videos obviously cannot work on my channel. I got 2 strikes and have to wait two weeks to upload more videos - sad story for a beginer. Lesson learnt, next time you want to try something new, make sure to ready all the guidlines (Especially Community Guidlines) so you know what you upload does not violate any of them. The idea to criticize memes may not be a good idea since I'd like to build an audience. One thing I found is that, once you know how to post attractive and interesting content, this improves your posts on other social media platforms - so whatever I'm learning from YouTube is excercised on my Facebook Pages and Instagram. Information is key, learn as much as you can so that you can be able to provide to your audience as much information as needed. I've watched a whole lot of v
