The news that has been circulating regarding kidnapping and abduction of young children is making me feel paranoid. I heard stories when kids in the mall will just be grabbed without being noticed by the parents or kids will be tricked by the bad guys so the innocent kids will go with them either to kidnap them or get all their valuables and belongings. That is why whenever we are out, my

Last Sunday, hubby had a minor accident when he bumped his foot on our stairs. I thought that it was nothing serious as it always happens to me. But hubby has high tolerance for pain and so when he complains, I know that he is really hurting. And when I looked at his foot, it is already swollen. So we went to the emergency Room of St. Luke's Medical Center in Quezon City to have his foot

I haven’t blog much about this because of lack of time, but I am happy and proud to say that my husband and I are one of the volunteers of Project PEARLS. PEARLS is the non-profit organization that is helping the less fortunate families in Ulingan. Last Easter Sunday, we joined their outreach program and celebrated Easter Sunday with the kids. And so with the peavey amps setup, we had

During the wedding of my cousin last March, they had a mobile bar and all of us enjoyed it even the oldies and the younger generation in our family. That is why when I was planning for the party for my mom and dad, I know that we should get a mobile bar too. We initially plan to get the same supplier as my cousins but luckily I found a good deal from one of the discount shopping sites,

We know that we needed entertainment for the party of my mom and dad so it will not be quiet and boring and of course, the only answer to that is a videoke machine. We would have wanted to get a live band complete with their electric guitar, Aquarian Drums, bass guitar and more but we are working on a limited budget and there is not much space in our garage for this. My aunt was the

I ordered the personalized cake for my mom and dad’s party from Iya of Thatlookstasty Goodies (you can search for her in Facebook). She was recommended by my friend Mai and Thea.  Her cakes were delicious, affordable and very creative so I did not think twice to order from her after exchanging several emails of inquiries. We just talked via direct message in Facebook and I just gave

We got Blue Petals to cater for the joint birthday party of my mom and dad last April 8. I have tried Blue Petals many times already (for Bela’s first birthday party, Cobi’s 1st birthday party and my cousin’s wedding) so I am already comfortable working with them and I am confident that they will be able to deliver. Aside from this, their price is really so affordable and their food all taste

My mom and dad’s joint birthday celebration held last Easter Sunday was a huge success. It was a last minute decision on our part (my siblings and I) to host a party at home. Our initial plan was to rent a yacht, which can accommodate 30 guests, and we will have a party with the family and a few of my mom and dad’s friends. We also considered having the celebration either in Casa Roces (my

This is my entry for March’s Photo-a-day challenge for Day 30 with a theme, Toys.These are just some of the few toys from hubby’s collections. He collects all sorts of stuff from NBA, NHL, Wrestling action figures, yoyo, Japanese anime, FPJ DVDs and more.This is now stored in our spare room which hubby claims as his office. Sine we moved, he just unpacked these toys from the box but haven’t

I am looking for Grandparent gift ideas as my kids’ gift for their grandparents on their joint birthday celebration on Saturday:My dad just turned 58 years old last March 21 and my mom will be 60 on April 6 and so we thought of having a joint party for them on Easter Sunday.I have made arrangements already for the party and have booked the following:• Blue Petals Catering for the food for the

As I promised, I will make a review of our Prestige Cruises Manila Bay experience and so here it is.I got the voucher on promo from one of the discount shopping sites a few months back. I never bothered looking at the reviews as I thought that it would be good experiences trying out a dinner cruise along Manila Bay. The voucher will be expiring on January 27 and since I only have 2 weeks left, I

I will feel that I have won silver bullion bars or the lottery if I can confirm that I have nothing to worry about my health.I had my annual physical checkup as required by my company last Friday and I panicked for a bit when the OB told me that I should have a breast ultrasound as she was able to feel a cyst / lump on my right breast. I tried to get for more information, but the OB of Grepalife

I gained 25 pounds when I got pregnant with Cobi. After giving birth, there is still 15 pounds that I need to lose to get back to my weigh loss goal of 110 pounds. So I said, 15 pounds...jeez that is just easy. But it has been more than a year now and I haven’t lost even a single pound. LOL.Last Christmas, we have relatives and friends who visited us and they all thought as I was pregnant. Out of

My mom will be celebrating her 60th birthday next month and since it is a big milestone for her, my siblings and I are planning on a special way to celebrate her birthday. I am in charge of the research and so far, here are the ideas that I came up with:• A cruise party: I found a yacht for rent and I contacted them to inquire the price and it is reasonable. The problem is the yacht can only

Since we go straight to Bela and Cobis swimming class after Cobi’s Gymboree class, we always dine out for lunch. So we get to try different restos and the latest one we tried was the new 9 Spoons Restaurant at Bay Leaf Hotel.My cousin was the one who recommended this restaurant. It is at the Pent House of the hotel and it has a very nice view of the Intramuros Golf Course. Bela had fun enjoying

Looks like hubby will need Reading glasses for men, as he is totally addicted to the autobiography book of Steve Jobs. This is really something as hubby can only read up to 50 pages of a book max as he gets bored easily. LOL. We are both reading it in iBooks and it is almost 3500 pages.Well the book is really good as it tells the real story behind Steve Jobs, no holds barred. The book shows his

We will have a date with the kids later together with my good friend Peachy and her family on board M/V Logos Hope, the floating book fair. (I am sure after this, I have to check on the Air and Space museum as my kids will surely ask about model planes next).M/V Logos Hope arrived at Pier 15 of South Harbor last Thursday and will be in Manila until March 25 to sell reasonably priced books and

It has been a while since we last hear mass at St. Jude. We often attend the 6 PM mass and novena at St. Jude every Thursday but we have no means of transportation now as Bela is using our car to go to and from school.So when the car was available one Thursday, hubby and I took this opportunity so we can hear mass and attend the novena. I was telling hubby that I am really glad that he is my

Where did my January go? I can’t believe that it is already February and the first month of 2012 pass by just like that. This made me realize that in just a few months, we will be celebrating our first year of paying the monthly amortization for the dream house that we bought. And I realized that my husband is correct, time will just fly and before we know it, we are through paying our debt for

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.

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 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.
