You have to know the ID/s of the category/categories you wish to show.
Then add 'category' => 'X' in the array. X is the ID of your category.
Example: $args = array( 'numberposts' => '5', 'category' => '3' );
or if you wish more then one category: $args = array( 'numberposts' => '5', 'category' => '3,6,7' );
