The Simple Life of a Baghag

So what did I get as my anniversary gift from dear hubby? Whatelse?!

Actually, this one is quite unexpected and again an early present since we were just strolling around Shangrila Plaza and we happen to pass by this shop. This bag caught my eye (hubby also liked it) and after a while, I came home with this...

I'm one happy baghag! :) Thanks hunny!

Tomorrow will be our 7th year as husband and wife. Can't believe it's been 7 years since we said our "I Dos"! Anyways, hubby is planning for a simple dinner date at one of our favorite resto, Heat at Edsa Shangri-la. We want to have an out of the country trip sana to celebrate this milestone (just like what we did in our 5th year) but since we're afraid of the Influenza A, we decided to postpone it at a much later date. Hopefully by the end of the year :) (i'm keeping my fingers cross this time)

In the meantime, this is for you Hunny :)



"Your love makes my days happy and bright,
Into my world you brought pure delight,
Joy beyond reason you’ve given me,
Our love is true this I can see "

Happy Anniversary HUNNY! Love you so much!

Hi all! As promised, here are some of the pictures taken during my simple birthday celebration (a day before my actual bday) held in our home with family and some close friends. It was super special day for me because all my loved ones are present especially my Dad who came all the way from our home in Laguna. Thanks Papa!



On my actual birthday, we celebrated the first birthday of my co-celebrant,our cute, adorable niece, Chloe. We're all excited about her birthday and we made sure that we contribute to this milestone in her young life. Hubby and I took care of the birthday cake :) Birthday theme is Nemo/Under the Sea.



It was a super fun party. The kids (and adults too!) had a blast! They enjoyed the games prepared by my SIL and the food karts which we got from Yanple. By the way the cake, cupcakes and lollies were from Sweets and Cakes. Super thanks to Joyce for accomodating our order (it's Holy Week na kasi eh) and our budget too! Good job Joyce! Chloe had so many gifts that day! Lucky Girl!

As for me, I got wonderful pressies from my loved ones and friends. Among them is a blessed Rosary from the Vatican which i'm super happy to have. Special thanks to our good friends, Malou & Charlie. I have to mention also the food given by my titos & titas especially the Sansrival from Betty's. I so love this! And it was a hit! Ubos agad! Also, the GC's my siblings gave me. I was so excited when I received it. I was able to buy a lot of things, one of which is the 2-Disc Special Edition Twilight DVD! Thanks kiddos! :) And lastly, how can I forget hubby's early birthday pressie.... my new phone!



Thanks so much Hunny!

Oopss! I have a confession to make. I also "gifted" my self with a gift. Actually, this is unexpected and not on my plans but I thought that I deserved it because I have been working so hard for the past year. I found the perfect opportunity to have another "baby" added to my growing "family" through my good friend, J, who was kind enough to get this from me in Milan and brought it all the way home. So, here it is. My newest baby....

Last 080808, my brother-in-law, Ricky wed the love of his life, Rhea in a simple but elegant wedding at Our Lady of Consolation Parish in Tierra Pura Subd. It was a wonderful day. Family and friends were there to celebrate this union and we're all truly happy. We've been preparing for this day (the family) for more than a year and we're just too glad that everything turned out great as planned and envisioned by the couple. I represented one of the ninang (an aunt based in the U.S. who can't make it to the event) and guess what? I was paired with Dr. Hernando Perez! Yes! the very controversial former Secretary. * wink * social climbing wannabe me hahaha!

But during the short period of time I was with the guy, I find him nice and the guy's soft-spoken pala! Here are some pictures of wedding ceremony:

* warning picture overload *

The wedding reception was held at the Grand Terrace in Commonwealth, Q.C. The venue is quite small compared to hotel ballrooms but perfect for a small, intimate parties. The food was great also. I enjoyed being sitted in the VIP table with the principal sponsors because the food was served to us. No need to fall in line in the buffet table, lol! The wedding program was short but entertaining. Thanks to the wonderful event coordinators from Angels Wink and the program host, Atom. Here are more pictures of the reception:

How's everybody doing? I know I have been neglecting my blog "duties" but I have so much work to do in the office... hay... kakapagod talaga. Much as I want to blog every night, my body would not cooperate as I was too tired from a hard day full of meetings, turn-overs and adjusting to a new office environment.

Anyways, last weekend hubby and I hit the malls, SM North Edsa (it's 3-day sale there!) and Trinoma. From the sale, I was able to snag 3 tops from Giordano and 2 from Chocolate Clothing Company. From Trinoma naman, I was able to convince hubby to get me that Kenneth Cole Bag i've been eyeing for quite some time now. So, I went home very happy with my loots plus extra bonus the bag I got from Kenneth Cole. I'm one happy baghag *wink* *wink*.





Tomorrow, i'll be on leave. It's my BIL and his lovely fiancee, R's wedding and i'll stand in for one of the ninang who can't make it tomorrow. We're all excited for tomorrow's event. We all know how hard the couple prepared for this special day and we're just so happy for them. TO R & R, Best Wishes and COngratulations!! We love you both :)

It was my youngest brother's birthday last thursday. He treated us to dinner at Heaven N' Eggs in Trinoma. The food was great! Plus they gave us complimentary waffles and nachos. Yummy! We had coffee at Figaro after dinner to cap the night off.

To my Bro, Happy, Happy Birthday! Thanks for a wonderful dinner! I wish you all the best in life. Take Care always because you know how much I freak out when you're sick and when you are not home yet! Even if you're in your early twenties now, you're still my baby brother! Remember that ok? Love you, 'toy!

Our mother company, EDC, celebrated it's 25th anniversary last June 19 with a grand dinner at the Wack-Wack Golf & Country Club. The invitation strictly requested all guests to come in their formal attire. So, formal we did! Here are some of our pics:
