New Costumes...

So after fitting the dumbo costume for Bianca and found out that the pants are too short for her already, I immediately went to the mall to grab some nice costumes. I really don't want those creepy costumes. I was looking for something nice yet affordable since I bet it would only just be worn once.

Was torn whether to get Margaux a Fairy costume because previously she was trying on some wings and wand.
But the fairy costumes I saw doesn't have her size anymore. So I just decided to get her another unique costume....although it was off the shelves one, I was proud that she was one of the winners in the halloween program in our village clubhouse. With more than 400 kids in different costumes, I was happy that she was chosen as the first-runner up in the Fantasy category. She was Cleopatra, an Egyptian Queen! lol!
As for Bianca, I got two overcoats with hood for her.  One as a red bug and another one as a leopard.


So here's Cleopatra and the Red Bug...

And then Cleopatra and her leopard...lol!

New Beginning with baby shower invitations...

It is a new beginning for my good friends, the Evans when we received their Baby Shower Invitations . Tammy is giving birth next month and they are inviting us for a special celebration of the arrival of their new baby as well as the blessing of their new home. The party invitations sent were actually joint celebrations since it is also Stan's Birthday. So those were birthday invitations, moving announcements and baby shower invitations rolled into one!

I am very happy for this new beginning of their married life. I bet the couple didn't take chances for their invitations as they want it very nice so they ordered from the one that provides exclusive and unique designs available only at CardsShoppe. I heard they even availed for the free shipping and free invitation cards when they ordered from the company's website, http://www.cardsshoppe.com/. Everything is perfect for the invitations so I am also looking forward for the perfect party!

Bianca was supposed to be Dumbo...

Margaux wore her Dumbo costume 2 years ago and she got the best costume award from a trick or treat party from her dad's office . So I was hoping that Bianca can also wear the same costume and hopes that she would also win best in costume ;) (interpretation: tipid na sana, cause hand me down! lol) But we tried it on her last Monday and I was suprised to see that it doesn't fit her anymore...

Here's Margaux when she wore that costume...



Here's Bianca when she tried on the costume...



Hahaha! The pants are already short for her! She's such a cutie! It would do supposedly, without looking at her pants though...lol!

It's Halloween already tomorrow...



You Are Traditional on Halloween



Halloween is all about the things you've loved since you were a kid. It's a holiday of big traditions for you.

You love carving pumpkins, eating candied apples, trick-or-treaters, and old horror movies.

You would never be found dressing up as the latest celebrity. You're much more likely to go for an old standby like witch or vampire.

Halloween has a lot of history for you, and you're not about to throw it all away for the latest Halloween trend!

My kids...

Thanks so much to Diane for this lay-out...


They are sisters and they are best of friends....

Although I usually act as a referee when moments like they would have to struggle for the same toy at the same time ;)  I still believe that they are the best of friends. They love hugging and kissing each other.  They also love playing with one another. You should see them when they are sleeping together.  ;)  I love having two girls!  They're the sweetest!!!   


I hope they would continue to be as loving sisters as they are till they grow up and that no matter what happens, they are still the BFF (best friend forever) of one another!

For cars that were affected by flood...

Since my friend's car was affected of the flood in their area, she is now on the lookout for reasonable car parts available for her Toyota Vios. Apparently, there's a long cue of cars to be fixed in the dealer's casa so she is now looking for alternatives to have her fixed by a regular mechanic. In fact, it took almost two weeks before her car was towed in a nearby parking lot in their area. The husband recommended our own good mechanic so our friend can also save a lot in labor.  We know it could be taxing in the pocket really so I even recommended that she takes a look at the discounted prices and free shipping offered by Car Parts Warehouse.  Told her to check their site at http://www.carpartswarehouse.com .  If you know someone who is in need also to buy parts for their cars, do refer the site as we they have available parts of almost all brands.

CNN's Hero of the Year...

Reposting this from an email I got.  Saw him also in TV the other day...


Each year, CNN gives $100,000 to the winner (from a field of ten finalists---winnowed from 9,000 nominees from all over the world) of its "Hero of the Year" award. This year, a 28-year-old Filipino, Efren PeƱaflorida, made it to the top ten. (A panel of 12 well-known personalities from various fields picked the finalists. Colin Powell was among the judges this year). If Efren wins this year's award (based on how many votes he gets, which will depend on us), he will be able to expand his mobile school program for the children of the slums in the Philippines. What this young man is doing to improve the lives of the kids in the slums is truly inspiring.

Here's the link to Efren's story and his Dynamic Teen Company (the organization he founded). You can vote for Efren by clicking on the link found in the article.

http://edition.cnn.com/2009/LIVING/wayoflife/03/05/heroes.efren.penaflorida/index.html

Voting is open between now and Nov. 19
. CNN will announce the winner and give out the award at a star-studded show on Thanksgiving night in L.A. at the Kodiak Theater (same venue for the Oscars). So, let's all help Efren win so that he will, in turn, be able to help more impoverished kids. The more votes Efren gets, the greater his chances of winning the "Hero of the Year" award and the $100K. It will take less than a minute to click a button to cast your vote. Let's all help Efren continue to make a difference in those slum kids' lives. Without his mobile school and his group of volunteers, those kids will probably never have a chance to set foot in a real school and learn their ABCs. Let's all vote for Efren! Please don't forget to pass this on to everybody you know---Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike----so more people can vote for this young man with an extra big heart. 

Another Baby Shower



A friend is all geared up in releasing her Baby Invitations for Baby Shower that she would have next week. I heard she's even having a baby diaper fund contest! What a very brilliant idea!

It brings so much joy and means new beginning whenever I think about a new baby!

Disney on Ice...

Got information from friends that this is a good one. I wish we can also watch. Need to ask the husband first though...



I'm sure the kids would love it especially Bianca who loves Mickey Mouse to bits! I wonder if we can squeeze it in our super busy December schedule? 


For information about it, click here.

Heard also that they do pre-selling of tickets for BDO credit card holders until October 16. Otherwise, you can only purchase tickets after that date.

I'm wishing they can also accept paypal payments already!

St. Partricks Invitation

I am not really familiar about the St Patricks Invitations which I saw from site http://www.holiday-invitations.com/. There were a number of designs available pertaining to St. Patricks party invitations. 

Apparently, its the most celebrated national day of Ireland commemorating their patron saint, St. Patrick himself.  Irish are really taking time for this celebration with family and friends so sending out St Patricks Day invitations is quite a common practice with them. 

Holiday-Invitations offer all kinds of invites whether for Christmas, Easter, New Year and even those party invitations St Patrick's Day.  You would be happy to note that you can modify any card design or any color as you may wish so.  And in case you don't find anything that you like, they would also be able to make a special design based on your preference.  Do remember them for any holiday invitations you may need.

What's happening?

It is so depressing to watch the news. I wonder what's happening to the world? There are calamities left and right. After the storm Ondoy that affected most of parts of Manila, came Pepeng who battered Northen Luzon. Good thing, no one was reported who died from the super typhoon. Then there was the earthquake in Indonesia. About 800 people died from it. Then there was also the heavy flooding in India. Reported casualties were at 300 already and still rising. The tsunami in Sonoma Islands also brought series of earthquake all over the world. A lot are in despair, thousands became homeless. I hope the world can recover from these tragedies. In our area, electricty and water were already restored few days after the Ondoy wrath. I hope the government or other agencies can also work out something for those who still without. How I wish there's something like Able Restoration from where we are. The company actually helped repair the water damage San Diego. Having an able group who specializes on how to manage this problem should really be considered.

Sending moving announcements...

I am helping a number of friends to get Free Moving Announcements from Announcements-Shoppe. Most of them are moving to higher places or different areas after the country has been hit by the storm. Though its not actually a house warming invitation since most of them were really badly hit, the cards that would be sent out to their family and friends especially those living abroad would just be moving announcement.

These announcements moving cards would be ordered from http://www.announcements-shoppe.com/. I can modify any card design or color as I request it. They have great selection of available cards that would surely match any requirement. Better inform your friends who might need it as well as they do offer some free shipping and even free invitation cards for some designs selected. It is important to still be in touch with friends who have moved homes so getting new addresses would be essential.

Flood...


The picture above was lifted from reuters. It was in Ortigas Avenue Extension right after the floodway bridge. No one was spared from the neck-deep flooding in the area. The east of metro manila was badly hit. Our families are victims of this grueling experience. Its like you would have to run for your life for the immediate rise of water on the roads. Most of the vehicles were submerged in water. Most of the roads are non-passable so the commuters and even those with their own cars have no choice but to bravely walk on flooded areas. And on those areas without flood, vehicles are not moving at all because of extremely heavy traffic. So even if you are riding those beach bikes like what you used to have when you were a kid, you won't be able to pass. Rain was pouring like there's no tomorrow!  It was scary! In fact, I still can't imagine how I managed to cross Marcos Hi-way in bare feet (slippers untangled) in a chest-deep water with current.  I was like swimming in coffee with cream (read: brown color) water!  Arg!  Nevertheless, I was just glad to be home with my family!

Still a no...

The husband forwarded to me a site where you can buy harley accessories. Is he trying to convince me that he would like to buy a big bike? Ahm, no, I am not yet solved to the idea. But the site has  over 30,000 different motorcycle parts and accessories to fully customize a Harley and at a hefty 60% off from most of the brand names! Very good deal if you are looking for one.  I ym'd the husband and said, it's still a no, period! :P

Another Birth Announcement

I have been receiving a number of Birth Announcements. I came a party last night and almost the other mommies on the table where I was seated made some baby announcements! I almost transferred to another table! lol! But indeed, those were very good news for everyone. I am happy for a friend who is pregnant for her 3rd baby already and she's hoping for a girl this time.

She's really excited for this pregnancy since we started at the right weight as she said.  I got inspired with her to really trim down first before planning for another pregnancy so it won't be much of a problem in gaining some more lbs.  I am pretty sure she would make some photo baby announcements, maybe even video? Her husband is the Filipino Videographer so making some photo birth announcements won't be a problem at all.  They got some suggestions last night to have it printed from http://www.cardsshoppe.com/. In CardsShoppe, they can really add photo or images to any card designs. Plus they do print and ship the orders the same day as the layout is approved. I'm looking forward to receive a copy of one from them!

Twitter/Bebots Exchange Gifts

So its now my turn to post my wishlist for the Twitter/Bebots Exchange Gifts this time. Here's my list:

ONLINE:

1  Bath and Body Works Products.  I am choosing everything from SALE items (if this would be the choice, the items would have to be shipped in an address in either Texas or LA; would send it separately)

a.  3 for $10 Hand Soaps (scent preferences: country apple/irresistable apple; fresh lime     basil; white citrus)
b.  3 Room Sprays at $3 each (scent preferences: Fresh Bamboo and Cinnamon and Clove Buds/Spiced Cider and Sweet Pea)
c.  5 for $5 Pocketbac (any scents)
d.  1 Body Cream for $6 (Scent preferences:  Cucumber Melon or White Citrus)
Total of these is exactly $30.  Ang saya diba? coz madami! ;)

Ok, I have a disclaimer for not requesting for a bath and body works gift card instead.  It states kasi that the value of the purchase of the egiftcard is not applicable to offers.  But if it can be confirmed that I can use it for sale items online then I'm fine to just receive the e-giftcard.  

2.  Old Navy E-giftcard. Check it here.

3.  A 3-piece cardigan pajama from Victoria's Secret. Click here for the exact item. I prefer it in the same color as in the picture. Color: Coral. Please get me a size 12.  I know this is at $35 but I am willing to pay back via paypal the extra $5 and if there's an extra shipping charges.  It should be shipped in an address in Texas or LA. 

LOCAL:

1.  Magazine Gift Subscription of Good Housekeeping (12 months) and Yes Magazine (6-months). You can order through their site. I super like to receive this gift! been meaning to subscribe but really can't find time to do so thus a gift subscription would be a pleasant suprise. 

2.  Some kitchen products but I would have to repost again specific items as I need to check first.  I prefer getting from Gourdos or Living Well. 

3.  Starbucks GC - equivalent value in 100 denomination ;) (hahaha!) Starbucks is my office actually when I meet clients so getting a GC from it would be a lot of savings for me!  

I'm excited for this!


Bianca's Wishlist

Here's Bianca's wishlist for the MBAP Christmas Party...

1. A baby doll (not necessarily the Baby Alive! (wink,wink) but it just have to be soft and cuddly).
2. A clay set - preferably like into cooking (example: Pizza Set; Burger Set)
3. Anything Dora - but should be a toy (not bags, no pencils, towels, etc--->dami na naming ganun eh)


A Baby Shower Invitation

I love receiving Baby Shower Invitations. It's a symbol of new beginning and new life.  Take for example the image of a baby shower invitation on the side.  It says that "their dreams finally come true." I can very well attest to that. My husband and I were blessed with our first-born Margaux after being married for more than two years.  It was the sweetest baby announcements when we finally told our friends and family.  It was worth all the wait.  

Next year, we would want a boy hopefully and I also look forward for another baby shower of course.  I hope the chinese calendar to have a boy would work as I really plan things to be thematic this time.  I have sourced from http://www.cards-411.com. If I am lucky enough, Cards-411 offers some free invitations and even free shipping to some orders. And I can even request them to modify any card design or color based on what I have chosen. I am thinking of a sports theme already since the husband/daddy is so into basketball and golf. I'm getting too excited here, you know.  It's not to early to prepare for next year right?

Margaux's Wishlist

So for the upcoming MBAP's advance christmas party in two weeks time, need to post already the wishlists of my little girls. Will start off with my first-born:

Margaux's Wishlist (these are all according to her ok)

1. Barbie doll (with some accesoories please!). Not her first actually but she would just love to receive another doll. Besides, she really loves to play with the house sets of Barbie I got for her last christmas.
2. Ice cream Clay Playset
3. A dog toy in a cage. I don't know if this would be within the budget but if not, never mind, hehehe. She saw this from a little girl in the mall once time. Its a playtoy dog with a cage that you can bring around with you.

Next up, Bianca's wishlist...

Back from HK...

since last night but I am still wishing we are still there!!!! yep, 4 days was really not enough. I feel like it has passed so quickly. The kids had a blast. But I was so tired tending to the two girls (parang mga boys!  hehehe).  Thanks for the very helpful and responsible husband. I tried to quickly move around Harbour City for like 1.5 hrs only while I left the kids with him in our room in Marco Polo Gateway. I was hoping I could still go to Ikea in Causeway bay as I would like to see if they do have those tables in Toronto like the tulip oval table which I want to put in our lawn but didn't really got the chance to go there anymore.  Shopping was not really a priority for this trip anyway but I was able to sneak in some purchases still.  Well, mostly for the kids.  I barely got something for myself but I managed to bring home one atleast.  Still downloading our pictures and need to find time now to post our vacation story.  Tons of work is also waiting on my desk! Yes, after being gone for just 4 days!!!  Arg, this is what I hate after coming from a vacation, getting back yourself to the groove again.  Wish me luck tomorrow!

Things I did yesterday...

I was so glad that it was a holiday yesterday. I was able to finish a lot of things which include the following:

1. Finish answering all emails from clients.
2. Finish all pending checklists for clients.
3. Buy food to leave for the maids.
4. Clear up memory cards of both cameras.
5. Finish packing the luggages to bring for the trip tomorrow.

I am busy today as I still have meetings till evening so I was so happy that I was able to prepare things already for the trip. Now, I am ready to relax and enjoy the vacation after tonight! Leaving the house early tomorrow morning to catch first flight to HongKong!

Monday, September 07, 2009

One day to go!!!

Those were the words of my daughters when they woke up this morning! We are leaving on wednesday morning for a quick trip to HongKong. Would spend 2 nights in Disneyland and then move to the city afterwards. I'm kinda worried about the weather. I hope it would cooperate on us. I checked the weather forecast in Hong Kong and it says that its generally Sunny with isolated rainshowers. Hoping for a nice weather while in Disneyland atleast.

Rolex anyone?

Some of my friends were talking about owning a piece of Rolex Watch. They have been wanting to get the two-toned oyster lady perpetual. I am actually not a watch person but getting one could also be a real treat. I was browsing through the site of www.bestoftime.com. I must say that I was quite glued to the the site after a while. They do have great pieces. I wonder if my friends know about it. I should tell them to check it as well. One of them is actually flying to US next year so I guess it would also be best for her to check it out especially if they are going to Atlanta. The company offers genuine Rolex watches at great discounts from the manufacturer's suggested retail price. In the country, the prices of Rolex watches are soaring high. I am not sure actually if I can own a brand new one so I am even considering looking at pre-owned pieces. But Best of Time also offers pre-loved watches so its really a great site to check when you are shopping for one. They even provide 3-year warranty and free fedex shipping.   Such a great deal at substantial great price.  So anyone considering to get a Rolex watch should check out the site too.

For my camera's USB Cable...

O blessed St. Anthony,
the grace of God has made you a powerful advocate
in all our needs and the patron
for the restoring of things lost or stolen.
I turn to you today with childlike love and deep confidence.
You have helped countless children of God
to find the things they have lost,
material things, and, more importantly,
the things of the spirit: faith, hope, and love.
I come to you with confidence;
help me in my present need.
I recommend what I have lost to your care,
in the hope that God will restore it to me,
if it is His holy Will.

Amen.

Hehehe, for some reason I cannot find my digital camera's usb cable to transfer pictures to my Macbook.  I remember using it last week.  Now, it is nowhere to be found.  Gee!  I hate it.  I have some pictures to upload and to share. 

Would anyone tell me if I can buy it in stores?

Movie Date with the Kids...

The husband planned to bring both kids to the theater. It wasn't the first time for Margaux but it was for Bianca. She was pretty scared at first because of the scary trailers that were shown on the 1st part. (movie theaters should be consistent that when it is GP movie, should also show GP movies for trailers) Anyway, the kids and even me and the husband enjoyed the movie UP from Pixar and Disney. In fact, I had some emotional (read: crying) moments on some parts of the movie. I felt bad for the old man to be missing his wife!  The kids love it!  They enjoyed the movie a lot!

The movie is about young Carl Fredrickson meets a young adventure spirited girl named Ellie. They both dream of going to a Lost Land in South America. 70 years later, Ellie has died. Carl remembers the promise he made to her. Then, when he inadvertently hits a construction worker, he is forced to go to a retirement home. But before they can take him, he and his house fly away. However he has a stowaway aboard. An 8 year old boy named Russell, whose trying to get an assisting the elderly badge. Together, they embark in an adventure, where they encounter talking dogs, an evil villain and a rare bird named Kevin.

The Coach...

The husband taught my nephew yesterday on proper dribbling of the basketball.

I think they should have this session every week so the husband would be compelled to sweat off! Its an exercise also for him as he shows them the proper moves.




And there was a "lady referee" watching them!

On Blogging...

I have been blogging for almost 4 years already. Yes, it has been part of my life already to share some wonderful moments about me and my family. Although I know that it is a public blog, I do not care what other people would say since this is what I really feel like writing. I have also gained a number of good friends through blogging, not to mention that I have also earned in some other ways. The other week, I have been thinking to create another blog. But I am not just sure how I can actually squeeze in my daily routines in writing more stuff. I have also been reading a lot about essential tips on increasing e-commerce business which are all related to blogging. Apparently, I learned that the web hosting company you are getting is also essential on this success. Aside from engaging your audience on what they read, you also have to consider getting a reliable support from a webhosting company. There are some who actually specializes in blog hosting, some into forum hosting, others even on ecommerce hosting.   Well getting one could sometimes be confusing so you better be guided by some reviews in the internet that provides comprehensive comparisons on these companies.  Everything is viewable from Webhosting Geeks.  They do feature the companies based on its advantages, bonus features, space capacity and even its offering price.  If you really do not know where to start, reviewing and reading up something about it matters for the success in your blogging career.  I encourage some to start now, it is nice sometimes to read back your previous blogs and recall the happy moments you had with your family.  Its truly an online journal of life.
