The only thing that is constant in this world is CHANGE. So after six months I decided to follow my heart’s desire to change my layout... for a change lol.And why on earth I suddenly change the pink and cute layout to this even if I don’t have much time and I have lots of blog hopping to do? Because I can face my laptop til 1am since there’s no husband to police me for two nights. Because suddenly, i want a green layout. Because I want a matching layout for my blogs (except my Girls Rule blog that’s lovingly designed by the designer extraordinaire kaye). Because I can’t sleep early without husband

One of my favorite shots of the Dolphin Show at Subic Ocean Adventure and one of the best memories of our summer this year.

For the last wave of our summer fun this year, we went to Naic Aroma Beach Resort. It was our second time, but for a change we tried their swimming pool. The kids had a blast on the pool, their favorite was the slide just beside the kiddie pool. Naic Aroma Beach Resort clicks for the masses, with their low rates for entrance fees and cottages. The place also has room accommodations though we didn’t get one since we were there for a day tour. I wonder if the room has its own kitchen, or if...

One of the best commercials I have seen in years is Piolo Pascual’s most recent advertisement with an insurance company. It shows how much a person endures all in order to attain everything – that includes a balance of success and happiness. While running he is in deep thought of everything he is through – his good career, the dreams he wants for himself and for his family and on a sudden snap of an accident, everything that he had work hard for would be put to waste if he has no insurance plan. Really, that commercial made me contemplate for a while and decided to stop procrastinating. I need

I am getting so stressed out in my countdown for our January 2011 getaway. The preparations isn’t as big like we’re going to have a Branson vacations but still I am super excited to the highest degree of excitement there is! Imagine, this will be the first time for the oldies (my parents, my mother-in-law, aunt-in-law and uncle-in-law) to ride an airplane.

Yena’s first time to meet my relatives in Iloilo and Aklan and husband’s first time to step foot to Boracay!I

I wrote about my virtual twin Fedhz, a couple of days ago and now let me talk about her daughter Yz, my daughter Yena’s twin. ^_^ The “twin idea” came to mind one day when an officemate asked me, why is yena’s picture posted on fedhz facebook profile? Which made me laugh, it wasn’t Yena – it’s Yz, fedhz daughter. Yz, a stunning tot who talks in English slang, looks so much alike like my yena. Fedhz said Yz is a male version of my Yena, who according to her acts like a fine little lady.Hey,...

Maybe God gave me a daughter because he wants me to play doll every single day. One good example is that little brown dress below, I got that for $2 and when I came home to surprise my daughter, she was so eager to put it on and asked for some picture taking. On dressing time, there is neither pushing nor forcing. She loves to dress up! She adores dresses with floral designs. She can pull off some sexy costumes really good! She likes to try new outfits, just as long as I say that it looks...

I bought my first cross-stitch project for this year last march. And at the rate am going with that project, it will take years for me to finish it. It’s hard. My weekend now means blogging, blog hopping, cleaning the house, attending the choir practice, napping with my daughter most especially if it’s raining (wishing there’s an electric blanket to keep us warm) and bonding with husband while watching some movies on DVD. So tell me how can I ever finish it?! It's hard to blog hop while cross-stitching, that I have tried to do a long time ago! But it’s a failure. Sometimes I wish I can be an “octomom”
