I just spent 3 wonderful days in Cebu for some R&R, bonding time with my parents and brother's family (and it was his birthday last Thursday), and to attend Liam's school program (my first)! The last time I saw Liam was in April. Although I keep tab of all his developments (thanks to Facebook and emails), I miss bonding (i.e. playing) with him already so when my mom ... READ MORE
A Different Dining Room at Gourmet Farms
Three (3) Sundays ago, AJ and I went to Silang, Cavite with my good friend and kumare, Chel and her mom, Tita Chit. We were there on a "secret mission" (will tell you when it's a done deal hehe!) and Tita Chit and Chel invited us to have lunch at The Dining Room at Gourmet Farms. It was my first time to be there, and I was totally "enchanted" by the place. I love the ... READ MORE
Shopping for Party Needs and More at 168 Mall
I was at 168 Mall in Divisoria last Saturday morning with my cousin, Mae Anne, for some bargain shopping and I saw this shop called Trophy & Gift Shop (stall no. 2HB 05-07-09) selling pretty birthday and party needs. These colorful mini-buckets or tin pails are perfect as loot bags! Trophy & Gift Shop is the same store that sells the Princess Tiara ... READ MORE
Sweet Birthday Gifts
It's been a week since my birthday and I am still feeling high over the (almost) week-long celebration I had! Not to mention the sweet gifts I got from my family and friends =) From AJ, I got this FitFlop pair in perfect pewter color. I've been eyeing this pair for some time and I'm so happy I now have it! I prefer these slide Fitflop sandals over thongs. It's ... READ MORE
A Sumptuous Birthday!
I celebrated my _ _th birthday last week in a very quiet but food-filled way. It fell on a weekday and I took the day off from work so I can relax, hear mass and spend a quiet dinner with my family (which turned out to be not-so-quiet!). I chose the newly-opened Watami at Glorietta 5 for my birthday dinner because it's new and for a fully serviced Japanese restaurant, ... READ MORE
Kiddie Party Weekend
Two of my godchildren celebrated their 7th birthdays last weekend - Rianne Maxine and Toby, who had a joint birthday celebration with his older brother Taddy. AJ and I attended both birthday parties last weekend, where we enjoyed being kids again! Maxine had her Barbie-themed party at Jollibee in Ortigas Avenue last Saturday. I think this branch has the biggest party venue ... READ MORE
Birthdays and Estrel’s Cakes
Today is my dad's birthday (Happy Birthday Daddy!). He turned 65 but we opted not to hold a big party for him (as others are wont to do, since it's a milestone age). We know that his only wish was to spend his birthday with Liam, his only apo (only grandchild) so last Saturday, my brother and his family flew from Cebu to surprise him. AJ and I picked them up at the airport, ... READ MORE
Butterfly Perfume
I got to chose my birthday gift from AJ last weekend and it's none other than the Butterfly Eau de Toilette from Marks and Spencer! I discovered it early this year and I knew, from the first time I smelled its fruity scent (that leaves a soft musk fragrance later on), that this is what I want for my birthday. It comes in a pretty round bottle in apple green shade, with a very ... READ MORE
