Labor Day

Yesterday, I was able to find some time to have a haircut (finally!) because it was holiday. I was with my daughter and niece Irish and we headed to SM San Lazaro. When we got there we walked around for a while because I'm still undecided to where will I have my haircut. We saw the David's Salon on the lower ground but there were a lot of people waiting in line so we decided to have some lunch first at McDonald's. While we were eating, here's a pic of my hair when I haven't had my haircut yet. Lol

Weekend Wander

Hi there! How's your day going? It has been super hot these past few days here that sometimes I felt like I'm melting lol. But it's okay with me because at the other side of the world, other people are freezing to death while a lot of us here are enjoying the heat of the sun and having a wonderful vacation somewhere.

Anyway, I just want to share what and where I've been to these past weekend. :D

Met with my old friend and classmate Lieca at MoA. We originally planned to meet up with another classmate but sadly, she wasn't able to come so it was just the two of us plus her boyfriend. It has been such a really long time since we last saw each other (oh how I missed hanging out with them) and I was really glad to hang out with her again. Nothing has really changed with her. Just the old friend I used to have. :D

I haven't had my lunch when I got there so we decided to ate at Burger King (sorry no pic). Then later on, we thought of hanging at another place. We searched for a cool, relax and cozy spot to chill out and have some drinks but Starbucks and Seattle's Best were all jampacked! We don't want to sit outside with no aircon. Again, we roam around hoping to find another place. I suggested White Hat to have some froyo but the store at MoA was small and the tables and seats were outside. We dropped by at Häagen-Dazs but then something popped-up from Archie (Lieca's bf) and we hurried ourselves to get there. Finally, the long search is over lol. We all decided to chill out at Swensen's. :)

We had Iced Green Tea (mine), Chocolate Ice Cream Shake (Lieca) and Iced Choco Latte (Archie). The Iced Green Tea is okay for me. It's actually nice! It has a bitter taste (bcoz it's green tea) but I stirred it and the whipped cream helped for it to taste better (I guess). Haven't tried their drinks but Archie said his wasn't that nice. 

Okay! That's all for now. I hope you have a great weekend guys! I wish this will happen again soon! 

What have you been to lately?

Summer Getaway!

Long time no post! And it's already last week of April! How's your summer?

Double Treat

Yesterday, March 23 was a very special to me and my family. It's my son's 3rd birthday and our 2nd wedding anniversary.

For my son's birthday, we decided not to throw a party anymore because we don't have much time to prepare for it and we don't have enough 'resources' for it too! lol So we opt to have some bonding moments with our little guy and we went to Malabon Zoo last Sunday. The last time I went there was when I was 4-5 years old. Can't believe it was so long ago.

I supposed he enjoyed the trip to the zoo because unlike the other kids that was there, he was not scared at all. He was rather willing to walk around to see the animals and I think he was fond of fishes (?) We got home early because his cousin was having his birthday celebration.

Yesterday is the actual birthday but we can't get home early because of work. I got out at 5pm so we just bought some food and ice cream and cake and had dinner at home. Hubby can't go home yet because he has some work to finish so we didn't wait for him anymore and ate already. lol We just waited for him but Johan is already sleepy so he got to bed and didn't wait for his Papa anymore.

When hubby got home I'm surprised that he got something for Johan. He didn't told me about it. He didn't told me that he was going to buy something for our son. Anyway, I'm glad that he did because I'm pretty sure and we're really sure that the kid will be happy about it because he love Cars (the movie) especially Mcqueen and Mater. I brought the toy into the kid's room and when I came back, that's when I was really surprised. 

Hubby bought flowers to give me for our 2nd wedding anniversary. My heart skipped a bit! lol But seriously, I almost forgot about it. (sorry hon!) This was not really the first time he gave me flowers (it was second). The first one was for our 1st wedding anniversary and it was even not a bouquet but I appreciate it! Though we didn't have a grand celebration for the two occasions and we only had a simple celebration, I was really happy and I will cherish all the moments with my family. Little things are the sweetest!

p.s. I already got to taste Selecta Magnum yesterday (it was launched here only a few weeks ago and I was kinda late to try it). I didn't enjoy it that much! But I think its because I bought the chocolate truffle flavor and I wasn't able to try the other flavors yet so I just gave the other half to my niece Rhian. But I'm going to try the other flavors next time. :D

Happy Moments

Just wanna share something!

Hubby surprised me with this. He said he wants to give me spin pins but can't find one from the store near us but can't go farther because its turning dark. So instead of spin pins, he thought of buying this. I'm not a cake person, I'm more of the ice cream girl, but I really appreciated his gesture. Those little things really do a lot! Loveeet! 'love you hon! thanks for this!'

But on the other hand, I really love to have the spin pins! Haha!

Happy Birthday to...

ME!

:D

Yes! It's my 21st birthday today. Ugh! I'm old. lol Nothing much special today. I'm at the office right now (yes, I surf at the office) waiting for the food to arrive (from our house). My mother cooked it! Its the best! :D

We're going to have a small gathering with my co-workers here at the office. But I'm really hoping to have a celebration with my  friends at the house on Saturday night!

And because of this day, there are some things that I realized:

• birthdays doesn't matter anymore when you're old (or is it just me?lol)
• your friends, especially those that are true will come out of nowhere just to greet you, even those that are 'not-so-true', and those that are friends on Facebook but not really in real life/person
• I'm legally legal now so I'll get imprisoned if I commit a crime (but I still won't if I was a minor lol)
• having two kids at this age is very overwhelming (I'm actually contemplating to not have a baby anymore anytime soon)
• I still don't have a wisdom tooth, does that mean that I'm still a minor?
• I'm through from the young adultery stage and now an adult (boo!)
• live life to the fullest now because the world will end at Dec. 2012 (kidding!)
• great age, comes with great responsibility LOL

Notes to Oneself

1. Be MORE responsible

You're not a kid anymore, not even a minor. You actually have your own kids! Think of the consequences first before doing anything or making decisions.

2. Quotes to live by

*'nuff said*

3. Try achieve something one at a time

Don't rush things, enjoy the moment while you still can. Fate has its own time. And only God knows what's best for you and when to give it. Things happen for a reason so don't fret.

4. Set your goals

You're still young and you surely still want to achieve something don't you? Try to live your dreams by setting your goals and making it happen.

5. Take care of yourself

I understand you already have your own family but how can you say you'll take care of your family if you can't even take care of yourself? Take care of your family, but but take care of yourself yourself too!

My wishes is to have good health for me and for my family and still those that are in this post. It sucks that I still don't have any of those that is mentioned (boo!). 

This is taking too long and I'm talking nonsense so I'm gonna end it right here just about now. 

2012 New Year's Resolution

Happy New Year everyone! I hope we all had a blast celebrating the new year. :) 2011 passed by so quickly and as 2012 came along, I wanna share with you guys my New Year's resolution.

1. Save, spend wisely

I want to start this year right. I want to save not just for myself, but most importantly for our kids. I'm not getting any younger. Though we maybe just starting out with our jobs, I want to start as early as possible. Earning minimum wage and supporting two kids may be a challenge but then again nothing's impossible.

2. Spend more time with my family

The kids are growing up so fast. I missed the days when they were so little I'm afraid to hold them tight. Now, they're so active, naughty and restless sometimes I wanna put them back to where they came from. lol

3. Reunite with my friends


I missed hanging out with my friends. Being married and having my own family prohibits me from going out and hang out with my friends. Well, it is my choice to be with my family and I want to spend most of my time with them but sometimes I want to have a break and be with other people doing things that I'm not used to do on a daily basis.

4. Make new friends


As much as I wanted tor reunite with my old friends, I still want to have new ones. Maybe through this blog I can have some, right?

5. Focus

I noticed I had trouble being focused these past few years I don't know why? I'm searching for some ways to treat this because I knew I'm not like this before.

6. Read more books

                                            

I love reading. Anything! But I still can't pursue this hobby. These are just some of the books I want to read. :/

7. Upgrade my wardrobe

I personally think I'm through with the t-shirt-jeans phase. I'm turning 21 this year and I think this the right time to upgrade my wardrobe. I have so many fashion inspirations especially those fashion bloggers. Aarrghhh! :D

8. Live a healthy lifestyle

I'm not a health buff but it still important to have a well balanced diet. I'm also thinking of doing some exercise routines. More fruits and veggies, milk and breads to come this 2012! :)

Stick to our goals and be productive. Make this year unforgettable and most of all, let us all start this year right!

How about you? What are your New Year's resolution? Do share! :D

Bloopers!

Before I leave for the rest of the week (I'm not gonna go somewhere, I'm just going to be MIA for the rest of the weekend. Long weekend FTW!) I'll leave you with this happy post. :)

*my daughter crying because she's scared-to-death w/ my brother-in-law lol*

Nina's 1st Birthday!*pic heavy*

Exactly a year ago, a new angel came to our life. I gave birth to my daughter, Nina. Today, is her 1st birthday. But since our schedule won't permit, we decided to celebrate her birthday last Sunday, October 23.

We opt to avail a Jollibee Kids Party just like what we did to our first born Johan. :) We booked the party about a month before at Jollibee Malabon Bayan Branch.

Birthdays, Typhoons and OOTD

Yesterday, I've been so busy I didn't had the chance to write about this, the other day.. *thinks* I don't remember what happened that day for me to not do a post, maybe I was just a lazy bum.. :) Anyway, fast forward today..
