Old Photograph

As I check our documents for some copies of hubby’s requirements on his new job (birth certificate, marriage contract, etc) I was surprised to see an old (as in very old) picture of my siblings. It was shot in Nayong Pilipino and our background was the now abandoned Philippine Village Hotel just near the airport. We lived there for almost 15 years and we only transferred to a new place when Papa went abroad.

It was nice to see a picture like this. We haven’t got any childhood pictures because our house was burned when I was about 4 years old and Mom forget to open the wall cabinet because of confusion to save us first before anything else. And in that cabinet were some important documents and our baby pictures and albums. But its okay, we save all the memories in our hearts and mind. And it’s fun to recall all our adventures when we are having our family talk where everything is casual.


So can you guess who am I in the picture?



From left to right- my eldest sister Ate Lhen, the only boy- Kuya Bhoy, mom said the 3rd girl and the 4th boy are our cousin on her side, then the forth one is Glenda (my other sister), and the last one is Me!!! Cute, right? Ha-ha!

Happy 3rd Month!

It’s been 3 months since the day Nathan came to our lives and turned our life in a different perspective. Hubby used to spend our weekend strolling around but now we hardly visit his favorite mall and instead stay at home to take care and play with Nathan.

I went to do some groceries for today’s meal and I miss eating spaghetti so I made one and buco-pandan salad for dessert. Hubby’s relatives and my family came to celebrate with us and Nathan seems to know them and cheerfully greeted them with a big smile and a hearty laugh. They love playing with Nathan because he follows your hand gestures and when you keep on repeating words to him. Daddy seems quite jealous when he heard Nathan said ma..ma… when I keep on repeating to him the word, Mommy. Ha-ha!

Nathan is growing fast now. Hubby and his Lola Margie are excited to bring him to the mall. But now we are planning for his baptism and I’m so excited at the plans.

Happy 3rd month, Carl Nathan! God bless you always.
with Mommy and Daddy! :)

Choco Truffles

He first tasted this chocolate when a friend of mine gave choco truffles as a gift to our group supporting Ann Li. He liked the taste and surprised me by buying a 30-pcs per box of these yummy chocolates that sometimes taste like a cocoa instead of the usual chocolates you can buy at any other store. It’s quite expensive so I’m not in favor of buying these mini truffles but knowing hubby, price is never a question if he really wants to buy it and if he really wants to have it.

I want to keep in mind that I really gained a lot over the holidays and I need to focus on my diet. But how can you resist it when your husband kept on giving you these mouth watering chocolates?
Even my pet Chase wants to taste it! ha-ha!

Good News


Hubby spilled the good news when he asked me to call him. He said he accepted the job offer of a foreign company somewhere in Alabang, Muntinlupa. In his new job, he can now use all the knowledge he learns from his previous job and I believe he can excel because that is what he really wants.

Thank God for giving this to hubby. This is such a blessing to our family considering some rough times last year. He sounds so happy on the phone and I can only feel so proud. I just hope that everything will be okay and good as he begins his journey on February 1. I know he can do it and he has all our full support on his new endeavor. Congrats honey and goodluck!!! :)

Fashion Scrubs

My niece is graduating as nurse this end of school year and she’s asking me if I could suggest on the brand of nursing scrubs they can wear on their hospital training. They want something fashionable to wear and where they can choose from different designs. I told them that when choosing scrubs they should be comfortable wearing it for they will work long hours in the hospital. They also want to have those white lab coats with chic designs and with lots of pockets for their medical things. Just discussing the designs and style make these youngsters giggle with excitement.


She asked me where to
buy medical scrubs online that will give them lots of discounts and free shipping if ordered abroad. I said we should also consider quality fabrics, variety of designs and would make you confident in wearing it. But we can have all these in just one click. My niece can’t wait to have it.

Sweet 16

With just 2 weeks of preparations to Ann Li’s 16th birthday, we crammed for the suppliers, souvenirs and venue so we can have a surprised birthday party for her. Good thing the admins of the group knows how to handle pressures well and we were able to make a party and a night to remember for Ann.

Ann came to the venue quite a little late. She informed one of us thru call that her mom and her friend did reveal some of the details and she really felt bad. But we said it was just a usual dinner treat and we wanted to celebrate with her. Finally, she went up to an empty place with her gorgeous pink dress and we came one by one and started to dance with her while giving her lollipops instead of the usual flowers. We caught her by surprised and she was happy that we all did that for her. We had games and dance and we dig on the choco fountains. The balloons arrangement is so beautiful I had a hard time pushing it inside a cab going home. Baby Nathan eyes are feasting on the colourful balloons and he really likes it.

Everyone is tired but the most important is we created a bond and friendship even on our busy lives. We hope that we can continue having fun with Ann and at the same time being happy just to talk about our daily lives.

Happy Birthday, Ann! I wish all the best in life.

Quality Car Care

When my brother had his first car, he asked me to look for a reliable auto repair shop where he can have all the things he wants in one place. I checked the internet and I found Dallas auto repair site which give the best services in town and gives good rates and honest estimates on repairs. They have their highly trained technicians that pay close attention to the car problems. Dallas auto repair have a reputation in good customer service and accommodating staffs that a customer can ask for.

My brother is eyeing on Chevrolet Silverado that he can use for long drive. He really wants a truck that looks nice but drives well and with less problems. And he is looking forward in driving this awesome truck. He also checked on the facts about brakes and good thing he has all he wants to know about brake job, when to replace brake pads, tips and best practices and common symptoms on damaged brake pads. I know now that everything my brother wants is within his reach.

Happy New Year!!!

Forget the bad vibes and concentrate on how God made last year a wonderful and blessed one for our family. I wish we can get through yet again this year 2011 especially for our baby Nathan.

As usual, we really had a blast celebrating New Year in our house. We had games and prizes and most of all I’m not tired from cooking because I see to it that I cook an easy menu for the Media Noche.

I wish and pray for the best this year. Happy New Year to all!!!
