Party last friday...

Went to 1Esplanade to celebrate with Tita Jet Versoza (Josiah's Catering owner) for her 50th birthday. Guests were asked to come in black. It was a great party. Of course, food was superb! And I had a great time with friends. I almost fell on my chair when my friend, Marex came in and sat on our table! I never thought he was really going to wear that! He said he was a little bit in costumey! Yeah, complete with mask!

Here are few pictures...

She has a future...

as a model, I think! Candidly, she posed for mommy one morning! She's so cute and beautiful! Manang-mana sa akin! (walang kokontra! bwahahaha!)

The little bride...

was sweeping the floor after being showered with rose petals! Woohoo!





And as I posted before, she made her glad shoes as her slippers at home!

Gladiator Shoes...

She saw this herself in SM when we were malling last saturday afternoon. She can't take away her eyes from it so we tried it on her. The ending, she was wearing it on our way home and made it as her slippers at home! She loves this new gladiator shoes! (buti na lang, mura lang!)

Who got an award?

Guess who got some web hosting awards? You can actually check from the site of the webhosting geeks. Found out that "Just Host" got the best blog hosting award.  They also got the best forum hosting.  Now,  if you are looking for budget hosting, "WebhostingPad"  got the award actually.I have also been reading up about some topics in blogging and webhosting from Webhosting Geeks blog and found out about the different ecommerce carts available online in the market today. I have browsing through since some of my blog domains are expiring this July so I am on the lookout for possible blog hosting companies.  I have also been meaning to change the layout as well and the themes of my blogs but I am just too lazy to do it now.  I am very busy twittering and facebooking in some of my free times.  And a change in theme would eat up a lot of time.  So maybe, I would just keep it as is for the meantime and just decide on what hosting should I get, lol!

Reason for not so much update...

is because I was busy of Bianca's 1st week of school and now getting ready for the big sister's (Margaux's) start of school next week. Well aside from that, I was also busy twittering for the past few days! It is good to be staying up on that site because you will get some alerts for some work to be done but it is also a hold-up to be staying there with friends pressuring you to shop! Bwahaha, And take note, I am very much willing to be pressured! There are a number of shopping alerts available there.  Like I learned from them about the vintage fashionistas. And getting hook with online friends in Twitter is like getting hook as well in Style Hive, you will get great information on fashion, making it better for stylish people to get connected with one another.  Its like an online fashion club for people who loves shopping, designing and very much in tune with fashion.  So with friends like these,  the ending yesterday morning was getting up early before 7am just to get a catch an online friend while she was shopping for us in a Coach outlet!  And oh yes, there were a number of us who got our "nice" totes!

School Starts...

tomorrow for this little girl.  And this is the picture which we are submitting for her class.  Bianca would be in Toddler Class in the school, which is 4 streets away from us called House of Little People.  I am pretty excited for her and really hoping that it would improve her speech development and so as other skills.  She is "ektayted" as she said to me a while ago.  I am happy on what I saw inside the school and when I talked to Teacher Ditas as well.   I am just hoping that they would leave up to our expectations.  Next year, she would join her Ate Margaux in Miriam College, Child Study Center so this playschool should help her prepare for big school then.  Expect more posts from me about the upcoming schooling of my little angels!  Time flies so fast!  Both of them are schooling already!  Where did all the years go?  

Debating...

Husband and I are debating last week if we need to get a new vehicle. Well, that could be a very nice birthday gift for both of us but I really don't think we need to get one at this point in time. So the husband is frustrated that he can only dream about his ultimate plan to get his new car! Although, we have discussed already on what could we possibly get in case we decided to really get a new one. The husband has been eyeing to get an executive car for him! Actually, I do agree with it. If he was to choose, he would love to get a Volvo or a Mercedez Benz. Told him to better get a driver this time. In case we are buying, which would not be really really soon,  I'm sure we would be hooked up with an online company that sells for Volvo or Saab parts at reasonable rate and available wide options. But if I were to dream, I would love to drive a black BMW 5 series!  I love this car, so manly!

It's my birthday today...

and I am happy and at peace with my life. And at XX years already, I feel like I'm still at 25 years old! Friends could be asking as to what could be my secret as I do not have any dark circles yet! Thanks to the best eye cream, which my friend introduced to me. We found out together through an eye cream review website the best product that suits our skin complexion. Well, it is important really to know first the composition of the cream, its benefits and also considering its price efficiency.  It could really be annoying to see yourself in front of the mirror with a big, puffy and dark circled-eyes, as if you have just came from a fight!  lol!  In fact, I do recommend now to my other friends and as well as to my brides to do take care of their eyes properly and at least do something for those with dark circles to ensure that they would be glowing on their wedding day. And as for me who have been using one for couple of weeks now, I'm no longer conscious for any dark circles or puffy eyes in time for my birthday parties!

Think...Think...

I went today to my corporate gifts supplier to check on my orders for the T-shirt printing but I got hooked in checking out the b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l paintings I saw hanging on their walls. Looks like they are a gallery now.  These paintings were done by the famous Ivan Acuna, who is the Philippine's Premier Abstract Expressionist Painter are all consigned to them and for sale.  And I saw one hanging that is a perfect fit for our high ceiling staircase wall.  I have been looking for this size all along in a lot of galleries I have been to already.  Now, it got me renew my interest in buying his piece for the new house!  They said paintings can put more value to your property!  (wink!)  Can I trade this for a birthday gift I am eyeing for?  Makes me think...

We are...

living on this beautiful house for exactly a month now! And we are so loving it!

Pictures from last weekend...

We had a blast! A fun, fun weekend. Started off with Animal Farm tour by some, which we weren't able to do since we arrived late. We headed to the basketball court for the daddies game. After 30 minutes, the dads were giving up but reservation was set for an hour so they had to finish the game. Then afterwards, a sumptuous buffet lunch were awaiting us by the pool side. The kids can't wait any longer so they went to swimming right away. While the mommies had few chats and numerous picture-taking! Then some decided to take the cable car while we joined others for the the fishing. Too bad, we didn't catch any but thanks to the Yaya of Jane who were able to catch atleast one for us.

It was almost 8pm when we went done. We weren't able to join the rest for the dinner anymore as the kids were so sleepy and tired already. I was also concern that the ultimate "daddy" went playing basketball, swimming, fishing with the kids and then still in-charge on driving us back home. But gladly, we arrived safely.

It was a great saturday! I hope we could repeat it!

I was broken-hearted...

when my AI bet, Danny Gokey got booted out from the last episode. Now that it is just between Adam and Kris, I am rooting for Kris. I must admit, Kris becomes better every episode. And did you notice when they went home to their hometown? It was amazing as to how many fans actually welcomed Kris vs from San Diego for Adam. Sorry, but I am not Adam's fan really. I find his perfomances so predictable, with all those flying notes all over. Yes, he can hit those high notes but he is not just my cup of tea. I want a soulful singer, a charismatic one that is and so my vote goes for Kris Allen. I hope he bags the final round!

Home Office

I came across beautiful Offices from a certain website. Although, I am not looking yet for one to rent locally, I am in awe from what I saw. I would definitely look from those options if I decide to have my office away from home. For the meantime, my home office set-up is not yet fixed. The table have yet to be delivered and my files are still all over the place since I have been testing different internet connections that would work in our area. I am still working on improving its look so I couldn't post any pictures of it yet. Right now, I am settling to just work in our pretty dining table! lol.

2 nights to go...

literally and the much-awaited MBAP outing will happen already in Tagaytay Highlands. I was suprised when I opened my yahoo account this morning with a number of emails regarding the plans for Saturday. I hope all our plans would push through and that the weather would cooperate on us. We have saved for this a long time and so we want a definite success of this get-away. You wouldn't want to know how much we are spending for this trip even if its just a day tour. Thanks to our writing abilities and the hot-mommas can afford to throw in a fab-getaway for our families. We even have a line-up activities for the daddies!  In line with this, the husband is thinking on what car to bring since it would be in TH. The steep road going there would probably need an able car. Good thing, we do not have a problem with our able CRV. We had the Air conditioning compressor fixed already last week. Although, we are going in a colder weather than Manila, it would be very hard to travel especially with kids without an A/C inside the car. And my hair, gosh, it cannot stand the wind!  lol!  We didn't go wrong in finding the complete parts and accessories from an auto airconditioning company online that offers free shipping and warranty.

Model?

Would she pass for one?

Kids at Play...

Notice how the kids are enjoying playing outside our new home!

Ssshhh!

I'm cooking up something. My feet is itching...hehehe. So what else could i be planning? A yearly quick get-away for me and the husband. I'm planning for another out of the country this year.   I hope this would push through as our super-delayed post celebrations for our wedding anniversary on Monday, May 4 and our bdays by June.  So would probably go on a July, just like last year when we went to Singapore.  This is different from the HongKong trip with the kids this October.  

We have miles expiring by September from our Mabuhay Miles memberships and also a complimentary accommodation to any two asian destinations which needs to be used up also by August from our timesharing membership. So I have an excuse to travel! Yipee! Its such a great deal since we have free accommodation and would just have to get one round-trip travel ticket since the miles expiring can cover one more ticket. I really really hope the husband would agree since I'm firming up things today so will present it to him later. Would just need to decide which of the two destinations are we taking.  

Thanks to PAL real deal promo and to an able customer service officer whom I called over the phone, I was able to get flight confirmations to both and also allowed me to even pay it in their office until tomorrow.  

Will post next time as to where exactly we are going once tickets and vouchers are with me already!

Pilipino Cable

Any feedback about Pilipino Cable? We inquired from other cable companies and they said they do not offer in our area. The only one available is Pilipino Cable. The husband is asking me to inquire about the channels being offered by the said cable company since we wanted to make sure that our favorite channels like Star World, HBO, Lifestyle Network are actually included in their list. Of course, the husband wants to make sure also that they do have basketball TV or NBA channel. The kids would want of course Disney Channel and Nickelodeon. We need to apply soon as the Plasma TV has been installed already last night. We need to test it as well. But the husband is asking me also to check out from hardware store some compression connectors. I actually do not know what are those so I tried to reseach about it. I found out from a site that sells those that there are different compression connectors available like RG6, FS6U, etc. It is so technical, I can't even understand. So I'd rather send the site to the husband as I'm sure he knows better. Told him to just write in a paper the particular item I need to buy so I can just present it to an attendant in a hardware store.
