Precise Cutting
My daughter Margax so love cutting and pasting! She is practicing using the Kumon Workbooks which I got from National Bookstore.
Though there are some rugged lines, still I'm a proud mom!
Look at her work...

Morey's Piers
My cousin's family based in New Jersey sent me their pictures from their recent family beach vacation. I can see how much fun they had in MoreySpiers, which is the best amusement park in Jersey. Oh, how I love to visit the place and also experience the thrill in enjoying the the two large beachfront waterparks. I am very sure the kids will have a blast in the kiddie rides while the husband would really love the roller coaster. The major attractions include The Great Nor' Easter, The Sea Serpent, The Great White and they even have the giant Ferris Wheel. They amusement park is so known for the fastest roller coasters available. But not to worry because they also have something for the small kids like mini scooters, mini tea cups, kiddie train and jump around among the few others. My cousin said that it should really be part of our itinerary when we come visit them in New Jersey. She recommends us checking out the wildwood hotels motels, which offers fantastic accommodations. She told us that they stayed in guestrooms which are actually beachfront. That would be such a good view I'm sure. They also offer weekly specials for the whole family to enjoy. Our family loves travelling and I really love to bring the kids on exciting places like this. I want them to remeber always how happy childhood is for them and that they would treasure such family vacations like this even when they grow up. Now, it's a matter of timing the vacation when both Bianca and Margaux can really run around to enjoy the rides. Hope we can do so in the next couple of years. It's definitely one of the great amusement parks we would love to check and visit.

Bianca's Birthday Theme

Need to plan now for Bianca's 2nd birthday party. Obviously, I want Dora the Explorer as the party theme. I'm starting from scratch as I finally just got the approval from the husband to celebrate it. I need to finalize and decide the venue by next week. Hopefully work on food, invites, prizes, lootbags and few decors.
Now, I have a problem as to how can I trim down my guests to 100pax only! I was requested by the daddy to keep the party at its minimum and not match it with the other previous celebrations of the 1st birthdays of Margaux and Bianca having about 250 guests! I wonder how I can manage it!
Goodluck to me!

Budget Counseling...
We are hoping for the best result of the pending loan application from another bank for our house construction. The husband is urging that we start within the year although I still have some apprehensions since I want to rather start next year. But we would rely on what's the result of the application instead. If this pushes through, would definitely cut down on unnecessary expenses. Yes, you read it right, unnecessary expenses like no more bags for the meantime. I'm really hoping I can be firm with this cause I don't want to become a victim of some debt management problems. Priorities matter so all my wants would have to set-back a little. In fact, I might consider getting credit counseling. Did you know that Bills.com offers this kind of service not only about debt management or helping you get out of debt but also about reviewing of finances, and advising on budgeting. I guess I would need the latter, since I'm really bad on that aspect. The site can even help you find your credit rating and can even give you credit monitoring which is an essential service especially for those with mortgages. In fact, you will be suprised that you they do charge minimal amount only for this kind of counseling which is very appropriate especially on this trying times. The cost can actually be depending on what service you will get. It is just a great resource to consider not only about debt management but also managing properly your finances and assets.

For the dad...
So the dad won't get envy, Margaux had a another artwork from school. She brought it home yesterday...

I so love the values they are teaching in Miriam CSC. We noticed how Margaux has become more affectionate, loving and sweet. She usually says "I love you mom and dad" and even "I love you Bianca!" with matching big hug and kiss from her!
Indeed, saw the change in her.
Good values are so important.

Last Saturday...
I attended a coordinator's friend last sunday. It's so nice to be a guest sometime in a wedding. And to our friend Berlyn, she took off a different hat this time, as a bride and not the coordinator.
I'm proud of my make-up...did it myself! BE flawless!

What's the inside of my soul?
Just so love this quiz...
What Your Soul Really Looks Like |
You are a warm hearted and open minded person. It's easy for you to forgive and forget. You are not a very grounded person. You prefer dreams to reality. For you, it's all about possibilities. You see yourself with pretty objective eyes. How you view yourself is almost exactly how other people view you. Your near future is a lot like the present, and as far as you're concerned, that's a very good thing. For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust. |

My Yearbook
This is so so fun. I snagged this from Alpha!
Although, I was not born yet on this year, this is how I should look then...
In, 1972, it was all about colorful curdoroys.


In 1984, neon colors made the hallway glow...

Ten years after in baby tees were tight fitting trend in 1994...

In 1998, girls were sporting flatform heels...

And by 2000, everyone got their exercise in their little push scooters...

Cool right? You can do yours here.

I'm a...
Kick-A$$ Blogger according to Mich.
Do you know any bloggers that kick ass? Maybe they’ve got incredible, original content. Or they’re overflowing with creativity. Is it someone that helps you become a better blogger? Or a bloggy friend you know you can count on? Or maybe it’s someone who simply inspires you to be a better person… or someone else who sends you to the floor, laughing your ass off. Whatever the reason may be, I’m sure you know at least a couple of bloggers that kick ass. Well… why not tell ‘em so? LOVE ON ‘EM -
Now, nominating the following girls who I think deserve this award...who relentlessly make me inspired on their creative juices in writing on their blogs and how consistent they are in blogging.

Another new yaya...
Ok, I have another yaya woes. The current yaya of Margaux is asking permission that she would go home already in their province. You see, this is the yaya who left November last year after the birthday of Bianca . She was the original yaya of Bianca and became Margaux's when she returned January. Actually, Dicky and I really like her and we even have full trust in her for everything about the house. In other words, she is our "mayordoma!" Hahaha. We had her take PAL going to Manila cause we don't want her to travel 36 hours by boat. We even included her in our Boracay trip. And seriously, we are considering to bring her to US this year for the trip if she would be approved for a visa because I don't know how I can manage to handle two kids while travelling to US! We have invested so much on her already. But apparently for some unaccepted reasons like her mom is asking her again to go home, she is again giving in to that option. Dicky tried to talk to her, dahil mas malumanay syang makipag-usap than me. Dicky didn't allow her to buy her tickets right away without us finding a replacement. I actually felt bad that she's leaving. I feel like sayang all our investments when she actually doesn't weigh things how much we can help her.
