My 2nd...

is here! I was suppose to buy from Rea, however, she ran out of stock for the petite madeline and since I'll be using it everyday when I bring Izech to school, I went to the mall last Saturday and got this instead



a nice brown (duo) leather bag.

Izech was used to sleeping on our chest when he was still a baby. It's like his comfort zone. He can sleep soundly for 4-8hrs straight. Up till now, he wants to be cuddled and lull to sleep this way especially when he's sick and naglalambing.

We love to goof around. I have dozens of these funny pics stored in my celfone. For the first time, we were separated for almost 4 weeks when I had chicken pox last year. We bought a nanny cam and hubby hooked up the tv inside the guest room so I can watch our son 24/7. I consumed 3 rolls of tissue for the first 48hours crying my heart out. When, he's practically a wall away from me. Anyways, this picture was taken few days after we're reunited sans the chicken pox scars. LOL!

Preschool Kwento

When he attended the summer program at Ingenium, I was happy when he didn't cry or show any signs of separation anxiety for the first week. Our routine would normally be, help put his things in the cabby, say bye-bye then kiss and hug. Though, the following week was a complete nightmare. Ever since, I dropped them off the gate so I can find a good parking space, he started the crying "act". (probably, he thought, I will leave him with his yaya) But this crying spells would only last for 20-30 secs. It's as if he's making papansin so I would go inside with him. Talagang sinasadya with crocodile tears pa. LOL!

After summer, we would always talk about school and his friends. He got really excited when he saw his Disney Cars stuff. Despite of this excitement, he'll constantly mention his plan of crying when I leave him with his teachers. So, when he went to school last June 17, I expected the following: tears, pulling and tons of coaxing. This has been going for almost 2 weeks until recently when he promised us that he'll stop acting like a baby and be like his favorite robot - Bumblebee.

No more tears. No more fears. No more DRAMA.

I'm a proud momma!

Best Of Both Worlds

My 3 year old son loves Hannah Montana. He memorized her famous songs like Rock Star and Best of Both Worlds. One time, we watched her 3D concert wearing this neat glasses. Look at us...

Yo Soy...

I know, it's been in the news for the past weeks that Bea Alonzo will be playing the role of Beatrice Solano, in the infamous teleserye Betty La Fea. I've been a fan of this series from the first time it was aired on Philippine TV way back in 1999. I would watch this at GMA before going to school. Who will play Armando? I can't wait to find out... :)

A Quick Trip...

to the Zoo, Doll and Shoe museum made our entire day prolific last June 12. When CIL emailed hubby about his plans of attending BIL's wedding this June, we all got excited. Finally, we had this chance to repay him for taking care of hubby everytime he's in the US. Not to mention, the countless favors and gifts his family gave us. We would just like to make sure that his stay will be as memorable as hubby's.



I've been thinking of Villa Escudero, Sonyas or Subic. However, MIL told us that one of their Aunt's will bring him to a nice beach for scuba diving, which according to hubby, was also his favorite hobby. Aside from this water activity, he likes trekking and museum-hopping. Alright! I know the perfect place - AVILON zoo. The two-hour tour will certainly entertain him. Good thing, we had the best tour guide. He wasn't even looking at the printed information near each cage unlike the other guides we saw.



After this tiring tour, we had our lunch at Pan De Amerikana, which is another famous landmark in Marikina. They have the best tasting bread in the Metro. For only 55 pesos, you can buy their BIG breads - (as in BIG)that you can pair with Waknatoy and Everlasting. For dessert, we ordered halo-halo at 3 MOM's. Just like Razons, they don't put too much stuff in it. Uber-YUMMY!

Before we head home, we stopped by the Doll and Shoe Museum. Unfortunately, they don't allow the tourist/guest to bring their cameras inside. So far, our day was not only meaningful but also fun. We might bring him to Villa Escudero or Hidden Valley next year. Let's see....

Tagging EVERYONE!

On Father's Day..

we were out with the entire clan swimming at Private E-resort in Calumpang. It wasn't the kind of celebration I'm planning for hubby but since CIL was here, I made an exemption. I had to buy Izech a new swimsuit just in time for the outing. At first, they were considering Canyon Woods in Batangas. But when they heard we need to be there by 7am they all decided to look for another resort. Considering this is a day after BIL's wedding, everyone will be exhausted from dancing and partying. We rode with my IL's as hubby was super tired to drive. Despite of the long travel, I could see little boy was so happy to spend time with his cousins. He stayed in the water for 4 hours with his papa.


On this note, Izech and I sends our love on Dad's Day! Thanks for making things easy for us.... We LOVE You!


Four Seasons...

was the theme for their wedding. BIL had to incorporate this in their previous pre-nups. I think, some portions were shot at La Mesa Ecopark and Snow World. Anyhoo, the wedding was held in Blue Leaf, Fort Taguig with an estimated guest of 200. SIL's aunt provided the accessories for the entourage with a touch of torquoise and coral. My mom was so excited to see her apo as the ring bearer. I wasn't able to take pics during the ceremony. Although, I managed to sneak a few shots during the reception. I'll post more pics soon.

While Waiting...

for opps, I decided to start blogging about my pending entries. It'll take me an hour to organize all my files, so I'd better start now.

Two weeks ago, CIL arrived with a box full of pasalubong for the relatives, including my list of orders. Aside from the school stuff, crocs, and ipod I bought online, they also gave Izech a nice pair of Lightning Mcqueen, 2 shirts for hubby and tee with jc penney bath towel for me. Little boy, practically rummaged through the big bag just to see his new goodies. Here's what we received:


I'm also selling my white Cayman (size 10) for Php1,800 only. According to Crocs in Galleria, this is the counterpart of BEACH in the Phil.

Halloween Costumes

When I was still single, we would attend our company’s halloween parties. Every year, we are required to wear sexy Halloween costume. As I recall, we had the famous Hollywood movie theme. One of my officemate dressed up as Reese Witherspoon in Legally Blonde. She even brought along her mini-pincher as one of her props. I heard she asked her couturier to copy the exact pink leather get-up that Reese wore in the film. Just like we predicted, she bagged the Best Dressed that night.

Unfortunately, I resigned from work when I got pregnant with our son. However, my husband, who works in the same company, still joins the theme parties. Few months from now, it’ll be Halloween again and the organizers are thinking of the Rock and Roll genre. He was asking me to help him sort out his closet and look for the proper outfit, in preparation for that event. Honestly, I can’t find the appropriate clothes that will go well with that theme. So, I told him that he should check out some online store that can customize for him.
I was surfing the net when I found Costume Cauldron. They cater not only to kids but adult costumes as well. Aside from their wonderful selection, you can also get bigger discounts when you click on the box with the phrase “ Over 8,000 masquerade items!”. It’s like a secret haunted house backdoor that lets everyone enjoy great deals. Just below that, you’ll find another interesting box that says “HUGE SALE up to 50%”. WOW! I can’t wait to share this news to hubby.

I might as well order for my son. I saw this cute Bumblee Bee and Buzz Light Year costume that Izech will surely like. I guess, I should start placing my order as early as now so they’ll be ready for the party come November.

Sharing The LOVE

Thanks to Dez for giving me this special treat. Lavvv it! :)

This award is extra special because Crystal created it in honor of the donor who saved her sons life. Her son Noah had to have a heart transplant when he was just over a month old. This award is supposed to help raise awareness of the importance of organ donation.


So, here are the rules Crystal gave:


“The rules of this award are: SHARE THE LOVE!!! Share this award with all those blogs out there that you love. All the people who make you smile. All those that make you laugh. All those that make your day. All those that leave uplifting comments on your blog. **All I ask, is that you include a link to this post with the award and ask your recipient to do the same**


As you may have recently seen on my side bar, I have finally created a custom blog award!! I have wanted to do this for a long time but never came up with something that “fit”. I didn’t want just anything. It had to be something that meant something to me. And what could mean more than Sharing the Love by giving you pieces of my heart?? So I created this award in Honor Of The Donor That Saved Noah’s Life. I share this award with those of you whose love and friendship have enriched my life and made my world a better place.


I hope by passing this award around the blogging world we can all help raise awareness of the need for Organ Donation.


Awarding this to Chat, Jane, Jacqui, Juliet, Jesse, Jean, Quel, Vina and Vannie. I can't get enough of your blogs...hehehe :) Love reading it everyday.


**Dez, sending this back to you. You're always included in my must-read list. :)
