I am glad that my kids take after their dad his love for music. My husband has a talent when it comes to singing and so he tries to instill the love for music to our kids that he surrounds them with all kinds of musical instruments from percussion, string, and more.In every party that our family hosted, our guests would always look forward to the song number of Bela and Howell. The two will

This is as a super delayed post. I have a lot of backlog stories that I need to blog about but I have been very busy lately. I haven’t even uploaded pictures of our Christmas and Year’s celebration.Last January 2, both hubby and I are off from work as we are both on a holiday as declared by our offices in lieu of January 1 holiday. I have long wanted to go to Tagaytay but I know how heavy is the

I always believe in the sacredness of marriage vows that is why I am always in shock every time I hear news of showbiz personalities breaking up or filing a divorce. Just like when I learned of the separation of Kim Kardashian and Kris Humphries only after less than 3 months of getting married.And now the most recent one that got me affected was the separation of model and Project Runway host

Lipstick.For the past weeks, this has been the topic of conversation amongst my group of friends in twitter – what brand, what shade, what hue, etc are just some of the questions that we asked our makeup guru, Ems.I am not really into make up but I think it is time for me to start putting make up again that is why I joined them when they went shopping in Mac online. How I wish I can learn how to

The food that was served at our Manila Bay Dinner Cruise:I have to make a review about this cruise and I have a lot of stories and warnings to share so people will know what to expect but since it is 2 AM already, I will have to defer that post for now and just leave you with this picture:

This is one of a kind pictorial, held at the roof top of our building:I have fear of heights so I was kind of scared when I felt the strong winds but I got to relax after a few minutes when I saw my officemates enjoying the view and taking pictures for their souvenir. So I brought my camera out too and start shooting because I am sure there is no way I will be able to go this high again.

I am really happy that my sideline work has been doing really well the past months. Because of this, I was able to consistently give my share to hubby for our monthly amortization. I makes me really proud because I am now using my earnings from my sideline work to good use instead of just using all of it for shopping.If work will continue to come, we will be able to save a little for some

How I wish we have boxing week sales in my part of the world. I saw my friends posting pictures of their Boxing Day sale loots and I can’t help but feel envious, as it is a total steal. I am sure we won’t be able to buy those products like Bath and Body works lotions, 50-inch LG Plasma TV, iDock speaker, BalckBerry playbook and more at a price that my friends paid for their loots.Our last buy

Instead of the usual thrust bearings that hubby usually buys from Ongpin and Binondo, these are the loots from our latest Binondo trip:This was the second weekend that we went to Binondo to buy the knick-knacks that we will need for the Chinese New Year. Most of you might wonder if we are Chinese but we are not. Well, ever since we discovered the world of feng shui and lucky charms, we try to go

We have hosted two Christmas parties at our house already. The first one was last December 10 with my embassy friends and former colleagues.We have long been planning for a get together but since everybody is busy, we can’t seem to find one date where everybody will be free. Thankfully, we were finally able to agree on December 10 and since they haven’t been to our new house yet, we all decided

I was at the house of my friend the other night and she was so excited to give me the good news about the soon-to-be opening of her daughter’s small boutique.It is just the hobby of her daughter to design and make clothes and since she really has the talent, her mom helped her with the funding and so she was able to create her first clothing line which she will feature in her boutique’s grand

I have posted in my previous entry about the Kids from Ulingan village. Ever since I met them during the party of the daughter of my good friend Peachy, they have occupied a special place in my heart.As much as I wanted to help them, I really can’t do much as I can only give a small monetary amount so the organization helping them, Project PEARLS, can sustain the projects that they have for the

My friend will be attending the Christmas party of their department and the theme for this year’s Christmas party is “Icons.”She can’t think of a better character for this theme than the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate Middleton. She was the most popular girl for 2011 because she made all girls believe that fairytales do come true when she got married to Prince Charles. I was one of the many

You know that it is time to go on a diet when people still think that you are pregnant even if you have given birth a year ago. LOL.Well this is the situation where I am at now as I still hear questions like “When are you due?” from acquaintances every time they see me. So I will just smile back in response to their questions as I know that they do not intend to hurt my feeling because I don’t

It all started when we had dinner at our house after our visit at Eternal gardens last All Soul’s Day. Almost everybody was present and my brother just had a brilliant idea to revive the old time tradition of enjoying dinner together at my grand mother’s house. So he suggested that it is a date every Sunday at dinner time.It has been 3 Sundays already and none of us failed to miss the Sunday

Do you have any tips on How to quit smoking? My dad is a chain smoker as he can’t live a day without smoking. I think he smokes one pack of cigarette a day which I know is really bad for his health.He is not complaining about anything related to his health. He actually has normal blood pressure unlike my mom so I know he does not need any help on How to lower cholesterol as I am confident that

It is the Christmas season once again and in our small cell phone business, this month officially starts the busy month as people start to shop for gifts for their loved ones or for themselves after they have received their Christmas bonus.That is why my brother and I have decided that this is the perfect time that we finally setup one of those POS Systems for our shop.

Since the tenants of our 2 apartments is giving us so much stress and headache, hubby and I are thinking if we should just sell the property. I actually don’t want the location of that property. We just got it at a very affordable price that is why hubby decided to buy it. I did not even take a look at it when the seller was offering us the house. I told hubby that he take a look at it without me

We have the Pay-Per-View for the Pacquiao-Marquez fight next Sunday to hubby’s delight. He learned of the PPV offer of Sky Cable so he inquired about it. The offer is actually a good deal:• We have to subscribe to their HD package of P750 per month (this is on top of the current plan that we have) so we can get the PPV for Pacquiao’s fight for free. Plan P750 has no lock in period so we can

Are you ready to do your Christmas shopping? If you are like me who have a very long Christmas shopping list, then you must prepare as early as now and start looking for the best credit card deals that you can apply.We all know that December is the busiest time of the year as people start to cram to complete their shopping list. So it would be better to shop way in advance to avoid the crowds who

I fell in love…..We had a very fulfilling Sunday as we spent it with the kids from Ulingan. The daughter of my good friend Peachy celebrated her 3rd birthday, and instead of celebrating it with a grand party, my friend decided to invite the kids from Ulingan village for a party at Jollibee.Ulingan (Charcoal City) is a community in Tondo, Manila where young kids gather charcoal as their livelihood

That is how I am every time I go out. I don’t want to bring cash with me as I feel safer if I only have my credit cards in my bag.And so I realized, since I am so dependent on credit cards and I use it for all my purchases, then I would get great benefit if I will get visa reward cards.This is how Good Sam’s Credit Card Rewards work:• I can get 5 points for every $1 of purchase on Good Sam

I nearly choked when my dad told me what our neighbor asked him when our former neighbor saw the house that we brought. Our neighbor was asking what the heck our work is, as he can’t believe how we can afford to buy a property. I find it rally insulting especially for someone like us who have been working day and night just to make both ends meet. Well the secret is HARDWORK. Our friends can

If not for the expense for the monthly amortization of our house, hubby probably would have decided to get a second car for us. He was a little piss last week as he was not able to attend the Filipino Week celebration at our daughter’s school since no one would be kind enough to fetch us from the hospital. He actually planned on taking a cab from the hospital where our youngest was confined but

Instagram is the new Flickr, at least for my group on online friends. We love Instagram and if you want to get the latest buzz about each other, Instagram is our best bet. From rant, to personal problems, shopping, bags and of course our most favorite topic, our loving family. And our latest topic, our need for weight loss pills as we made a confession about our weight. LOL. Oh well, we know we

It was January 2011 when I received a call from HSBC to confirm an online transaction that was credited to my account. The transaction was from UK and the amount was around $1200. I was in complete shock after hearing about this as this is the first time that my credit card has been hacked. I have several citibank credit cards which I have been maintaining for almost a decade now and never did I

I hate August because for this month, we have been going in and out of the hospital, as one of us will always get sick. First week of August, Bela had a high grade fever hitting up to 40 degrees Celsius that we have to rush her to the hospital. Thankfully her fever was gone the next day and so they were able to rule out dengue. The next week, we had been food poisoned so we were all vomiting

My husband and I sat down one night to discuss the details that we want for the rooms when we move to our new home and we both agreed that we will allot one room as our home entertainment room. Our whole family loves to watch movies so a big LCD TV complete with the whole entertainment system is perfect for us. I can already imagine our whole family in our entertainment room as we enjoy watching

Next week will be the move to our new home. Hubby and I are both excited because this is finally it, a house that we can call our own. Nothing much needs to be done except for a little cleaning here and there but there are some additions and improvements that hubby wants to install. He has been checking the site of Gadget Shack and he is looking at purchasing their wireless doorbell. This

My husband and I never carry cash in our bag. Well for one, we don't find it safe and secure to carry around large amount of money when we go out especially since I am a bit careless with two kids in tow, that I sometimes forget where I left my things. That is why we pay either by credit card or we order checks so we can pay using our personal checks. But I got more encourage to order checks

I have been busy lately that I was not able to blog about what happened to me first week of August. It was Monday and right after lunch, I feel kind of different. I feel bloated and a little nauseated. I called hubby and he asked me to tell my dad to fetch me but I don’t want to burden them and I thought that it is just a simple dizziness that I thought that I can make it home safely. But then

My husband and I are both working five days in a week. We both work in the IT field and things can get really busy at work so we always look forward to going home and getting a good nights rest after a long day at work. And so now that we will be moving to our dream home in the next couple of weeks, we are already starting to plan for the furniture that we will purchase for our dream house. At

August is the month for the celebration of "Filipino Week" in my daughter's school and they have a lot of activities lined up for this month to celebrate it. They started with a parade where each Grade Level was asked to come in the costume for the region assigned to them. Mindanao was the region assigned to the Prep class and this is what Bela wore: I got her costume from Quiapo, which is very

Any moment now, we are expecting birth announcements from my sister in law as she is due to give birth this month. This is their second baby and they are expecting a baby girl again. Everybody is excited to see the new bundle of joy to add to our family. I know they are thinking of naming the baby “Martina”, “Georgina” but I am not sure if the couple is definite already with the name that they

We just got back from a weekend of fun with family and friends at Shangri-La Mactan last Sunday. We went to Mactan together with my four other friends and their family so it was really fun. Imagine, five families with 13 adults and 10 kids. This is the first time that we traveled out of town with my group of friends and we all agreed that it was really fun and that we should do it again. We

It has a been a long dream for my sister to be able to show her talent in acting. She is an artist by heart. She is active in school joining plays and programs where she is always the star of the show. That is why I did not get surprised when one day she told us that she wants to try her luck in acting. Of course as her elder sister, I want my sister to enjoy what she is doing and so if it is

Now that we will be living in a house with four floors, it is essential that we install a good quality doorbell so we will know if we have visitors or if there is someone outside the house who needs the gate to be open for them. My dad and my husband checked the house last weekend and the doorbell is one of the things in their list that needs to be replaced. We live in a neighborhood where there

Since I am not that busy the past weeks, I was able to finish 4 photo books for the birthday party album of Bela from her 2nd up to her 5th birthday party. Every night before going to bed, I will spend a few hours dragging and dropping the pictures to the templates of Ate Jen that I use for the album and voila, after just a few days I was able to finish not just one but four photo books.

After I got sick last week, it looks that my kids are starting to have cough and colds too as I might have passed the virus to them. This is what happens every time one of us gets sick. The virus will be transferred to each members of the household and the cycle continues. That is why it is really important that each of us is healthy and we have strong immune system so none of us will catch any

My husband is very much excited to move to our new home but he has no choice but to give in to my belief that we should finish the ghost month first, as per the Chinese's Calendar of Feng Shui, so he has to wait until August 29 before we can start moving our things. So while waiting, he and my dad always visits the house and the last time they were there, they checked and took note of the things

I am so excited as we will finally be heading to Cebu for a much needed rest and recreation this coming Friday. I was all smiles when I went home from work today and I can’t stop thinking about our upcoming trip. I only have to wait for a few more days and we are off to paradise. I have been through a lot of stress and adjustments these past weeks and hubby can attest at how stressed out I am as

The quest to a healthier lifestyle becomes a responsibility once you have kids. If you are not concern about your health when you were young, this perspective will change once you start a family and this because you know that they rely on you. Remember that your kids look up to you as their role models so if you are lazy to get up or a fan of unhealthy foods, chances are your children will pick

I caught a terrible virus this week that I was absent from work for three days. If only I don't have a meeting today, I might have skipped work again as I still feel dizzy and I still feel weak today. The doctor who looked after me at the Emergency Room got so alarmed after my CBC Test that she is even suggesting that I should get admitted so they can better monitor my condition.Because of what

We had a fun Saturday last week because we were able to go out the whole day as a family (which is something we haven’t done in a while).It was Cobi’s schedule for vaccination in St. Luke’s Global so we left the house around 10 AM. We were in and out of the doctor's clinic in less than 15 or 20 minutes so we decided that we could still have lunch in the Fort before Bela’s gymnastics class at 1

Bela would want to have a Jake and the Neverland Pirates as the theme for her 6th birthday party. She will actually not have a big party for her 6th birthday as budget is a little tight and since she will have a big celebration next year for her 7th. We will just have a celebration at Hospicio de San Jose and we will invite our friends, relatives and Bela's classmates to celebrate with us too

I can't believe it is August already and after this month will be the start of the busy "BER" months which signals the start of the Christmas season.Every Christmas, a good friend of mine organizes fund raising projects to help the Cancer victims of PGH. Last year, she solicited donations and she organized a party for the kids where she treated the kids like prince and princesses as they watch

Since Sunday, we have no Cable Service. We usually encounter a “No Signal” problem from Sky Cable but all we need to do is call Sky Cable and they can reset the box over the phone and restore our service.But this time is different, as they have to send a technician to check the connections. Since we have no cable for two days since the turnaround time for their technical support is 24-48 hours,

Hubby and I are still in heaven because we sill can't believe that in just a few days, we will be moving in to our dream house that we recently purchased. We actually did not plan for it because the seller, who happens to be hubby's officemate, just happened to mention to hubby in passing that they are selling their house because they are migrating to the US soon. Hubby decided to drive by one

This is it, in less than a month we will be moving to our new house. The seller is leaving tomorrow which mean we can move in anytime after tomorrow but since hubby and I believe in Feung Shui, we will be postponing our move until August 29 since it is the first day after the ghost month which is good for house move.While waiting for August 29, hubby plans to have the interior and exterior of

And then he even shaved his mustache and beard.Did you know that when I met hubby, he already have a mustache and I married him not seeing how he looks without a mustache. That is why it took a lot of getting used to when I first saw him without a mustache. He even did

I can't contain my excitement already because in just three weeks, we will finally be heading to Cebu and spend three days and two nights at Shangri-La Mactan. This will be our first time to stay at Shangri-La in Cebu but my good friend Peachy and her family are avid patrons of this five star hotel and I hear nothing but raves from them for this resort so I am sure that we will have a grand time

I don't know why SM decided to pull out Monterey products from their supermarket and they just started to market all SM Bonus meat products. I guess it is their strategy to monopolize the market but I really prefer Monterey products as I know that it is safe and of high quality.That is why when a Monterey shop opened just a few blocks away from our house, I was really happy as at least we have

We just gave her medicine and she went to bed after.This morning, I checked her temperature and she still has fever but I did not think that it would shoot up so hubby and I even prepared to go to work.

It has been a while since I last had hair treatment. Ever since I got pregnant, I did not risk having any hair treatment, as I know that it can be harmful for the baby. Then I am also breastfeeding my son so I still can't have any hair treatment even after I gave birth because it is still a big no-no for breastfeeding mommies.My son already turned one year old but I don't think I will be weaning

Last Saturday was the PTA meeting in Bela’s school. It is also the gathering of GSPA (Grade School Parent’s Association) where the election of the officers was held.I was actually reluctant to attend as I am afraid that I might get elected but I know Bela will get mad at me if I did not attend so hubby and I woke up early that Saturday to make it on time to the 8 AM GSPA meeting.And just as I

My husband and I are thankful that banks offer housing loans because without them, we will not be able to fulfill our dreams of owning our own home. We actually got approved for a housing loan and because of that we were able to purchase a house and in fact, we will be moving to our new home in a few months.But since the bank will be loaning us a big amount of money and since they are

Before, I am not actually a coffee drinker. But ever since I started working late, I needed to drink something that will keep me company until the break of dawn so I can finish all my work. That is why I will have to drop by at a coffee shop before going home from work to get my coffee fix but then I realized that it can really be expensive if I do it everyday. Maybe I will save more and still

Hubby and I just got back from watching the Cirque du Soleil show, Varekai. I left work at around 5 PM so I can meet hubby early so we can have dinner first before the show.We had dinner at Yellow Cab around 6 PM and just walked from Yellow Cab to Quirino Grand Stand. We had some picture taking outside and inside the Big Chapiteau and as always, hubby bought souvenirs of the show.The show started

If we did not purchase the property of hubby's colleague here in Manila, hubby is so keen in pursuing his plan of constructing a swimming pool at our house in Bulacan. According to hubby, it will serve two purposes. One is that it will be our weekend home and with a swimming pool, for sure we will always love to go to our house and spend our weekend there. Second is that we can even rent the

In less than a month, we will finally be moving to our new home. I have not been feeling excited about it as I am anxious and scared of the financial burden ahead of us but now that it is already finalized and there is no turning back, I am starting to feel excited already. At least even if we have a huge financial responsibility now as we pay our monthly amortization, it is all worth it because

Hubby is home. After being away for 6 days because of a remote work in Baguio, he arrived last night with loots for me and the kids.I am glad he is finally here, at least my best friend and confidant is back. Lesser chance for me to go crazy as I have someone now who can listen to all my rants and problem. LOL.But he was so dead tired last night as he has been working late hours while he is there

I installed the Cirque du Soleil application on my iPhone and I watched the video trailer of Varekai and all the more I got excited because in just four days, I will get to witness the show myself as I go on a date with hubby to watch the show on July 14. (I got so excited that I decided to print our tickets but I forgot that I have to buy first computer video cables as the cable of our monitor

It has been two weeks already since I have been using my new Mac and I must say that I am loving it. I was hesitant at first to switch from Windows to Mac as I heard that MAC OS is completely different from Windows but I am happy that I did the switch as I find MAC OS faster and reliable than Windows. The boot up alone only takes a couple of seconds while it takes minutes to boot from Windows.

Last Sunday, we received a call from the caretaker of our house in Bulacan to inform us that utility bills are already due. Since we have nothing planned for that day, my husband and I decided to drive a few hours north of Luzon and visit our house.On our way to Pandi, Bulacan, we decided to drop by Walter Mart as hubby needs to buy the shampoo for our Labrador dogs. Walter Mart is the nearest

A friend of mine will be migrating to the US soon and so she needs to sell some of their stuff that they have no plans to bring with them when they move like big furniture, jewelries, her husband's various collections and more.She is so busy preparing for the big move and so she doesn't want to deal anymore with the selling of their things. That is why I suggested to her that she contact military

My one-year-old son loves to grab on things that is within his reach and his latest causality was the Prescription Eyeglasses of my mother. He grabbed on the frame of the eyeglasses and now it is in two pieces.My mother was just laughing after she saw what happened. But anyways, it has been a while since my mom bought new Prescription glasses and her old one has served its purpose already and it

Last June 30, we took the 12:35 flight of Cebu Pacific to Legazpi for the 1st death anniversary of my mother-in-law. All the family will be in Bicol to offer mass and prayers for mama.We arrived in Legaspi at 2:00 PM where we were fetched by Papa and my brother-in-law at the airport. We then went straight to their house for the mass that will be officiated by my brother-in-law.After mass, we went

Since we have two kids in the house, the health and safety of our kids should always be our top priority. That is why we always tell our house help to make sure that the house is clean all the time to get rid of germs that might bring sickness and virus.But germs and bacteria are really hard to trace, just like toxic mold. It can hide underneath the floors, the carpets and walls and who knows

Since we bought the property in the suburbs five years ago, hubby and I have been thinking of a better way to utilize the property. We can't make it as our permanent home as it is far from the city and from where we work so it can only serve as our weekend home.But hubby and I were thinking that we should be able to come up with something to put the property to good use and that might even give

Hubby is away and our nanny is on her day off (which actually is every Sunday) so it is a very busy weekend for me. Yesterday, I was only able to work in the morning as I accompany Bela to her first day in Gymnastics class. Since hubby is not around to drive us, we will probably just be staying at home the whole day for Sunday. Which actually works on my favor as I still have tons of things to

After staying in New York for three days, we took the 9 AM flight of Delta airlines for our flight to Los Angeles to meet with our good friends from college and from my childhood. Every time hubby and I go to the US, we never fail to drop by Los Angeles as this is the only chance that we can get to meet up with our friends there because they haven’t got the chance to go back to Manila for a short

My husband and I went to a Europe trip last 2009 and I must say that it is one of my best vacations. Europe has a lot to offer in terms of art, culture and not to mention shopping haven for designer brands too.As much as I want to go back there and explore other places that we haven't visited (and I am sure there is still a lot that we missed), I think we won't be coming back there soon as budget

There will be a mass to be officiated by Howell's brother who is a priest on Friday and then we might just go to the cemetery to offer flowers, candles and prayer.Since Bicol is a 16 hour drive from Manila, it is very rarely that hubby and his

Yehey, I am so happy. Bought online our tickets for the Varekei Cirque du Soleil show just now. I actually have no plans of watching. I know how good the show is and it is really a must see but tickets prices are so steep that I let go of the idea.But then after my officemates watched the premiere and they are all raving about it and I saw some of their pictures in Facebook, I told myself that it

Finally our housing loan will be release this week. The good news is that the house officially belongs to us, as we will be able to pay the balance that we owe the seller. The bad news though is that this means that we will start with our first monthly amortization for this loan next month.This reminded me that I have to look for check ordering services, as hubby and I need to submit post dated

Last Saturday was the first birthday celebration of my son, Cobi. There was a typhoon that week that I was so worried the night before the party because it is still raining very hard so I am a sure street will be flooded and my guests might find it hard to go to the party venue.But thanks to all my friends and family who prayed with me as we were given a good weather a few hours before lunch time

On our third day in New York, we joined the Statue of Liberty Cruise. I bought our tickets online already so we did not have to queue that long to pass the security check and to ride the ferry as there is a special line for those who bought their tickets in advance.

We noticed that Cobi was a little hot at around 2 AM and when w checked his temperature, he has low-grade fever. He actually has diarrhea so I begin to worry and blame myself and got paranoid already that I will not be able to forgive myself if something happens to him.Howell woke up early to buy medicine after I texted Cobi’s doctor.

We just rented a cab that will drive us from JFK airport to his friend’s house.
