I was hoping that she'll find her true love among the many guys I arranged for her to meet. But fate has its own way of doing things. And before I knew it, she has finally met this wonderful guy over the net and she's been happy eversince. There are a lot of sites that offer online dating and one of them was friendsation.com.

I'm now tagging Abie, Aggie, Alpha. Alynn, Apols, Arlene, Dauphine, Diane, Eds, Em, Erika and Eunie.

As promised, I would like to present to you our humble tree :) I finally had the chance to put some decors. The motif is a combination of bronze, copper, gold and silver. Last year, was pink and silver. If you're wondering where our tree is situated, it's actually at the ground floor of our unit which used to be a commercial area (hence the shelves and aluminum doors and glass in the pic). We used to place the tree upstairs where we live but this year I decided to have it place here so that it can be viewed from the outside. Sayang naman if walang makakapansin, di ba? :) We have plans of renovating the ground floor but maybe next year or if budget permits he he he. SO what do you think? papasa na ba?

This is super late but I need to post this as promised. It's a very special occasion as it was my hunny's natal day. We spent that weekend doing nothing but eat, eat, and eat, lol. Saturday, the day before his birthday, he spent the day at camp crame for his annual "firing" session as a requirement for the security agency he currently handles. They had lunch at Dad's/Saisaki/Kamayan in Edsa-Greenhills. I wasn't able to join him though as I was attending a company seminar that day. It was also a chance for me to buy my gift for him so after the seminar, I immediately went to shangri-la plaza. I bought my gift, a Lacoste shoes (which he loved by the way.. wohoo!), and gave it to him when he fetched me from the mall. I was so excited I couldn't help myself so I gave it to him na :)

The following day, Sunday, his actual birthday, went to mass before joining my in-laws for lunch at Dad's again! They can't seem to get enough of Dad's! After lunch, we went to shang to exchange my gift to a bigger size sice he wanted to check out if it will fit him better. Hay! I wasn't good really at this! Anyways, we spent the whole afternoon strolling in the mall and went home to have some rest before our set dinner with his family and mine. For dinner, we chose the Healthy Shabu-Shabu in the Block since we wanted our families to experience the thrill of cooking your own food. Shabu-Shabs (as I fondly call it) is a new fave of ours because of its uniqueness and of course, the idea of eating healthy. My family wasn't able to join us since they had prior engagement but still we had a good time. Here are some of the pictures from these two special days...to my hunny, Happy, Happy Birthday! Hope I made you happy on your special day! I love you!

I am Charlie Brown!



(10-16 points) You are Garfield : You are very comfortable, easy going, and you definitely know how to have fun but sometimes you take it to an extreme. You always know what you are doing and you are always in control of your life. Others may not see things as you do, but that doesn't mean that you always have to do what is right. Try to remember, your happy spirit may hurt you or others.

(17-23 points) You are Snoopy:You are fun, you are very cool and popular. You always know what's i nand you are never are out of style You are good at knowing how to satisfy everyone else. You have probably disappeared for a few days more than once but you always come home with the family values that you learned Being married and having children are important to you, but only after you have had your share of fun times

(24-28 points) You are Elmo:You have lots of friends and you are also popular, always willing togive advice and help out a person in need. You are very optimistic andyou always see the bright side of things. Some good advice: try not to be too much of a dreamer. Dreaming too big could cause many conflicts in your life.

(29-35 points) You are Sponge Bob Square Pants:You are the classic person that everyone loves. You are the best friend that anyone could ever have and never wants to lose. You never cause harm to anyone and they would never not understand your feelings. Life is a journey, it's funny and calm for the most part. Stay away from traitors and jealous people, and you will be stress free.

(36-43 points) You are Charlie Brown: You are tender, you fall in love quickly but you are also very serious about all relationships. You are a family person. You call your Mom every Sunday. You have many friends and may occasionally forget a few Birthdays. Don't let your passion confuse you with reality.

(44-50 points) You are Dexter:You are smart and definitely a thinker... Every situation is frontedwith a plan. You have a brilliant mind. You demonstrate very strong family principles. You maintain a stable routine but never ignore a bad situation when it comes. Try to do less over thinking every once in a while to spice things up a bit with spontaneity.

Hi pips! Hope you guys had a nice weekend!

As for me, I was able to finally finish decorating our tree! Yes! I still have to take a picture of it as I promised you guys that I will post it once it's done. Anyways, I was also able to watch the movie "ENCHANTED" last saturday with my friend, Malou in Trinoma. I like it so much! Not only because the cutie Patrick Dempsey was there but the whole movie is very light, romantic and musical. It's a feel good movie. I was surprised that the movie started as a cartoon but later on, the scene transformed into the real world. It's magical and funny and the kids watching at that time loved it the most! After the movies, we went to check out the recently opened GAP store! Yes! There's a Gap outlet here in the Phil. already (one also opened in Glorietta) I super love their clothes there. It's classy! I love that their pieces are something that I can wear at work and during my casual or free time. I love it! I'm looking forward to going there a lot to check out their new collection :)

Sunday was spent also in the mall after hearing mass in the morning. I was able to do the grocery thank God! We haven't had anything to eat na, lol. My dad arrived from the province last night for his check-up so it's a full-packed week ahead for me. Hay! So many things to do but I love it! Have a great week ahead everyone :)

Women nowadays are getting serious about the idea of how they will be going to look like five to ten years from now. Believe me, when I say that women are now more aggressive in terms of maintaining their youth and beauty. Take the case of singer/rapper, Kanye West's mother. She died early this week, I think. The cause of death was not disclosed but news are spreading that the real cause has something to do with her recent cosmetic surgery job. Tsk, tsk, tsk. What a total waste of life. Cases like this make me think again how important and how safe are the cosmetic enhancements being offered to women nowadays. I have nothing against it let me make it clear but at least if you are going to do it, please, please make sure that you are with the best doctors with the best facilities possible. It's very critical to choose the right doctor and the right place for that matter, to do the job. And most importantly, you have to be sure of what you really want and accept whatever risk you have to take in having it done. I think that aside from being financially ready as this thing doesn't come cheap, it is important also that you are emotionally and psychologically prepared for the changes. That's why it's good to know that there are reputable clinics that offer superb services to help you in dealing with this like the RodeoDriveMommymakeover.com.

This is your one-stop shop when it comes to plastic surgery. For busy moms, maintaining their physical appearance comes as the least of their priorities. They would rather spend more time in cleaning and organizing the household than fixing themselves. And I admire them for that. But sometimes we have to give time to ourselves as well for our own personal satisfaction. That's why there are many services that you can try out at rodeodrivemommymakeover.com.

If you wanted to get rid of the flab in your tummy, there is the california tummy tuck worth trying on. Or if your have something in your face that you have wanted fix for quite some time now but have not gotten the chance or the guts to do so, you can always consult with an accredited los angeles plastic surgeon. This site has a wide range of these doctors who were products of the most competitive and prestigious institutions, including Stanford University and UCLA Medical Center for general surgery and plastic surgery training who can help you. And if ever you wanted the total mommy makeover shebang and have the money to do so, this is the place to go to.

What's more, it's conveniently located at rodeo drive, one of the shopping haven of the world. In fact they are the only plastic surgery clinic in that world-famous place.

Our Christmas tree is now up. Its about 7 feet tall. We had this around 4 years ago pa yata. I still had to put the decors on. Maybe this saturday. I have a very busy schedule this week due to my work load and by the time I got home in the evening, i'm too tired too decorate our tree :( Hay. I wanted to dress up our tree na sana but i'm just too tired to do it. Anyways, for this year, I finally got to purchase new trimmings! Yey! Finally, hubby agreed to buy new decors. I'm getting bored na with my old decors of pink, silver & blue. My color-theme for this year will focus more on the copper, bronze, gold shade of colors. I got inspired from a Xmas tree display I saw in the mall. Hopefully, i'll be able to make a replica of that tree I saw. So wish me luck guys :) Will post pics soon.

Woohoo!! I so loove Starbucks! Why? It's because I got to have free coffee from them bwah ha ha You see, I just got my second complimentary beverage courtesy of the customer voice from starbucks!! Yey! This is my second time to get this customer voice thing attached to the receipt of my last starbucks' purchased. Upon receiving this special receipt, all you have to do is log on to mystarbucksvisit-ph.com and answer a short survey and voila! You'll get a complimentary Bev ID which you will write on the receipt and present to the barista for your free drink! Am I lucky or what?, lol.

Anyways, aside from the complimentary bev., I just learned from the fashpack that starbucks will hold a series of free coffee time this holiday season. Yes! you heard it right! They're giving away free coffee at a specified time and place. So, for those who want to have their free doze of caffeine, please check out this schedule courtesy of the fashpack. Thanks thanks fashpack!!

Hi All!

It's been quite a while since my last post. Please forgive me for not giving you much attention these days as I had a very busy schedule last weekend (it's my hubby's bday that's why, will post about it later) and I was out on field the whole time yesterday. When I checked my site last night, wow! i've been tagged many times. Was so happy!! Thanks, thanks girls!

So here are some of it :)

Woohoo!! I'm a certified star blogger! Thanks Eds for this award. It surely made my day :)



Now, i'm passing this award to Mich, Jane, Jody & Jacqui.

Thanks Jacqui for this tag! Oh my, where do I begin?!

1. SINIGANG NA BABOY - whenever I feel tired and stressed out from work, my husband would always ask our maid to cook sinigang for me. He knows that any amount of tiredness in my body will vanish once I started eating my fave food. Actually, I taught our maid how to cook this meal based from the recipe of my late mom. So you can say that this meal is somewhat important to me coz it reminds me of my mom and her excellent cooking skills.



2. SOPAS (Chicken Macaroni Soup)- another recipe from my mom's. I super dooper love this food. I want it with more milk, shredded chicken and macaronis. Sometimes we add Tj hotdogs on it and we sometimes use spaghetti noodles. This is heaven!

3. PUREFOODS TENDER JUICY HOTDOG - Yes! It's my favorite too!! I can tell if it's not
purefoods, mind you! Only purefoods for my hotdogs. it's my husband's favorite too. When doing our groceries, we never fail to get a kilo or more of this. Takaw ba? :)

4. CHOCOLATES - need I say more? Basta. I.LOVE.CHOCOLATES. PERIOD :)



5. CAKES & ICE CREAM - my personal favorites would be FIC's cappuccino, Nestle's MOCHA, Red Ribbon's Honey Cake & Conti's Mango Bravo!

I'm now tagging Kathy,Vina, Eds and Marie to share their comfort foods :)

This tag I got from Eds. Thanks sis! :)

Her question# 1: "When did you start blogging and why?"

I started blogging unofficially since last year from my friendster account. It was an "on & off" thing back then. I wasn't regularly updating my blog and sometimes, I would post one entry per month lang. Then, I chanced upon knowing Mrs. T's blogsite. I got hooked! As in everyday, I look forward to reading her daily adventures and I Love it!

Since then, I got to know more about blogging especially paid blogging. So, last September of this year, I began my again "love affair" with blogging this time with blogger. I learned about paid posts through the help of my fellow bloggie and my "idol" when it comes to blogging, Jane :) I'm super hooked! Never a day has passed by without me checking my blogsite and my other favorite bloggers.

Thanks Mrs. T & Jane for the inspiration! :)

Her question# 2: "What do you address your spouse as endearment and why?

We call each other "hunny" from the Winnie the pooh cartoon series. Since "honey" is a common term of endearment na, we chose to use this word instead for a litle variety :) I also have a winnie stuff toy, the one where winnie is holding a jar of "hunny". That's where we actually get the idea of using that word.

Her question # 3 : " Who's Blog do you admire most & why? "

Of course it would be Mrs. T's for her wit and detailed account of her charmed life especially her travels and food trips and most especially, her bag purchases and review. I love it!

Now, for my question, what is your favorite T.V. series (filipino or american, old or new) and why?

Care to answer, ricca, jen, jean, sheila & juliana?

It's a another weekend and this one is special coz tomorrow will be my hubby's birthday!!! I'm so excited! I have a seminar to attend today so i'll be out the whole time. I'll try to squeeze na rin to go to the mall to buy my gift for him. I'll post my kwentos later. Have a nice time everyone!

I got this wonderful award from Jade. Thanks, thanks! Glad to have known you friend :)




I'm now passing this award to everyone on my list :) Grab it guys!

I just learned from chuvaness that Alicia Silvertone will be coming to our country next year not just to visit or to promote something... but guess what?... to do a movie!! with no less than.... papa PIOLO P.! Wow! Is this for real?!! I've always liked Alicia! Since Clueless days pa yata, lol.



Sure be looking forward to this :) Bagay ba sila?

Hay.. my much-awaited belle de jour power planner is not yet available. I'm about to pick it up from the BDJ team in Coffee Bean Galleria yesterday but they postponed last minute since according to them, they had encountered some printing problem and they had to bring back the planners to the printer to correct it. So, they ask for another day which is today but got a text again from them saying that they are still making corrections and the planner won't be available still. This time no definite date or time has been given. Well, I guess I just have to wait na lang:( I'm just so excited to have this planner. But anyway, they will be giving another 5% discount due to the delay. Fair enough :)

A friend of mine plans to go abroad to work. With the current political and economic situation the country is facing right now, many filipinos are now contemplating on finding greener pastures abroad. That's the same reason why my friend wanted to push through with her plan. But one thing that's keeping her from doing so is again... finances. You see, going abroad requires quite a sum of money too. That's why I recommended to her this website that offers payday loans. In paydayloanquotes, applying for a loan is as easy as 1-2-3. It's a faxless payday loan that allows you to file an application without the hassle of submitting numerous documents that sometimes discourages loan applicants to file for one. All you need to do is complete a one page online application form, the site will find the lender that matches your qualifications and get approval fast and easy. Payday loans can range from $100 to $1,500. The lender will determine the loan amount based on the information you provide during the application process. Even the proceeds of the loan approved will be directly deposited to your account from the lender. What's more, you get to choose among many payment term options that will best suit your paying capacity. And again the best part of all is that it's a no fax payday loan, so it's a hassle-free guaranteed process.

I was finally able to convince my husband to allow me to drive by my own. After five years of being together, he finally had the courage to let me go and do my own driving. With this development, I need a new car for me since my husband won't allow me to practice on his SUV, lol. So this early, I am now searching for the best car in town that would fit into our budget. I've been eyeing Honda cars lately since I like their compact styling, efficiency and affordability. Good thing there's carsbldvd.com which will help me in finding the right car with the right price. You see, at carsblvd.com, you can get Honda Car Quotes fast and free! You'll never pay full price for a new car. You will receive a minimum of 2 quotes from dealers and get to compare them all. What's more the Honda Car Prices here at carsblvd.com are the best deals in town. So, what are you waiting for? As for me, i'll definitely ask for free quotations from carsblvd.com ASAP!

I had a fun-filled weekend. Last Saturday, I met up with my friend Lui in Greenbelt 3 to have lunch and stroll at the mall. I took the MRT to go there to save on time. I passed by Glorietta. I don't know but I had this weird feeling when I passed by the Glorietta 2 area (now board-up with white walls). It felt creepy knowing that many people died there. And I can still smell something like sulfur? Basta. It felt creepy passing thru that area. I said prayers for the victims the whole time I was walking by :(

Anyways, we had lunch at Recipes. The food there was great and as expected, both of us left the place with a full stomach, lol. After that we checked out the shops at greenbelt 3 and at the newly-opened Greenbelt 5. Not many stores are open yet but I already like the interiors of this new wing. It looks classy inside and contemporary outside. I'm super excited for the opening of some brands there like Marc Jacobs. I got to visit also Kiehl's! Wohoo!! The store is almost the same as that in Singapore. They carry almost all the products and I think the prices here are much cheaper than in SG. That's what i've noticed lang. I haven't bought any since I still have supplies of kiehl's products I got from my last trip in SG. Maybe in December :)

I left Makati at around 5 PM to meet my husband and my siblings at Trinoma. Lui went to meet her BF naman. We watched the concert of the great Basil Valdez and the world renowned UP Singing Ambassadors at the Trinoma Park. Boy! I tell you these guys are great, great performers! Basil's still got the voice that won the hearts of many filipinos. Though, you can notice the strain already brought by the illness he got years ago I guess. But, it doesn't matter coz the guy still has the charisma. It's a wonderful show all in all. Everybody was in a festive mood and you can feel that christmas is really here! The concert ended with a wonderful fireworks display! It's grand! I love it! It's the perfect ending to a wonderful night! I love Trinoma for coming up with shows like this. And the best part is it's for free! So if you want to have a good time, go catch the other performances every weekend. You'll definitely have a grand time too! Here our some pictures to prove it...

Yesterday, Sunday, after hearing mass we spent the day at the mall... wherelse?! And guess what? I got to convince my husband to get his own pair of crocs! Finally! I've been enjoying my mary janes for months now and I have been "making kulit" to him to buy a pair. We bought matching color crocs. I got the prima in chocolate and he got the off-road. Now we have matching crocs perfect for our mall trips he he he.

So, guys how about you? Did you all have a great time? :)
