After lunch, we had to wait for the kids to arrive so we can make lakwatsa hahaha (go to the mall)

Went to megamall Heck carpark's full!!!! why??!!! off to Globe center agad for cash out and inquire for a postpaid plan.... forgot to print hubby's payslip tsk tsk anyways we'll drop by tom in Gateway! Stopped by at air21 mega for some deliveries :))))

Chicken mushroom noodle soup meal size, adobong tokwa with egg, shrimp dumpling....that's it ahahha... sorry guys i don't have any pics my camera was busted! eeekk!!! can't find the perfect pics n the net either. JUST IMAGINE the hot noodles yum yum hehehhe, the sweet adobong tokwa with egg and the munchy shrimp dumplings

Praying for my hubby......

2010-07-08T08:27:00.000+08:00

Hello guys, how are you? missed blogging...and i missed reading your nice stories...

I want to share to you guys our family pic :))) I'm so happy we got one, I've been asking hubby to have our picture taken so I can have it displayed at home ;)) but he's answer as always is "NO"

so what made him changed his mind? it's required at Bea's school.

and also I've never seen hubby so eager to be a part of the Assumption School family. He even volunteered ourselves to be the section head of our daughter's class hahaha....

(pretending to be happy)

Yes, I'm very Happy but at the same time worried....

Happy that my kids Gab and Bea are both doing good in class. Mariz little by little is being cooperative- listening to my stories, singing and reciting the alphabet and numbers etc. (cooperative? yes! before, whenever i ask her to sit beside me and read stories she'll just turn her back on me)

and Worried of hubby's health, actually he's in Makati Medical right now for some observation....The feeling that I'm not there beside him really breaks my heart ... but what can i do? i have to attend to our kids...I don't actually leave them alone with our helper/yaya...(nothing against her she's been with us for 4 years? (i think)but of course I can't guarantee that she'll look over my kids every second, she's being maharot na ahahahah)

Ok back to my hubby, it's just strange, because we had his ecg and everything checked in Medical City and the result is normal.....I can't also say that he's stressed cause actually he doesn't have that much work in the office hehehe.... Praying that it's just normal.

Thank you guys for reading this...miss you all

Still alive!

2010-06-01T20:02:00.000+08:00

So sorry for being MIA

been so busy with my online business (hihihi) and with my 2 kids (gab and bea) 2 more weeks to go classes will resume....(i'll miss my 2 kids for 2-4 hours) as much as possible i want to spend most of my time playing and of course teaching them the first few lessons in their books....next year 3 na sila huhuhu.....i will be left behind here at home..

until then need to answer my client's queries...ciao ciao

Preparing for school and Lola's Birthday

2010-05-17T08:52:00.000+08:00

had a hard time looking for her shoes, the sizes were too big for her! end up buying the cheaper one ahahah

bea with mariz striking a pose(using her ate's uniform hahah)

bea having tantrums (she doesn't want to wear the p.e uniform)

Yesterday, we celebrated my ever dearest grandma's birthday! She's 87 and still kicking!

Happy Mother's day!

2010-05-09T18:44:00.000+08:00

On getting a barangay certificate/clearance

2010-04-27T21:02:00.001+08:00

I'm not suppose to get this but my one and only ID (driver's license) was held in Villarica Pawnshop. I was about to cash out money from my gcash account, I never had problems with globe centers/tambunting and from them(before) regarding cash out and with my ID ( My ID has my 2nd name while my gcash account doesn't), it was all successful until this. So the girl from VP asked me to get a barangay certificate.

I searched the net how to get a barangay certificate and from what i read, I should get a cedula or a community tax certificate first. I actually have 1 but it has my 2nd name, so I asked Loida to get another cedula in municipal hall (yes i can get my cedula without going there personally), I just wrote my name(first name, middle initial and surname), address, status, birthdate, birth place, sex, citizenship on a piece of paper and gave her 11 pesos.

After 30 minutes Loida came with my cedula , and there I asked her to go to a friend of ours in the barangay to ask for help; with the cedula, a hundred pesos and a paper stating that I need a barangay certificate, off she go....

Got a message from her asking where will I use the barangay certificate so I replied to get another ID, she came home after 10 minutes with my barangay certificate HOORAY. I just need to put a thumbmark and my signature.

This is what a barangay certificate looks like

By the way got my Id already...Thanks to Loida =)

OLA!

Here I am to post my not so long story and lots of pictures of our family outing yesterday.. My kids were so excited, they thought we'll go to 8 waves waterpark in Bulacan haha.

April 25

Hubby and I woke up 4am to fetch my brother's girlfriend in Makati. Came back home at 5:30, woke up my kids, ate breakfast etc. At exactly 6:15, off we go. After 15 minutes, we arrived in CME...yep yep 15 minutes only from Cainta to Taytay.

That was actually our first time going there hahaha, we don't like to travel to a place too near from us, where's the thrill? But what can we do? hehehe (remembering what happened to revo)

6:30, we arrived in CME got our number stubs 121-128 paid only for 8 people, my 2 kids were free they were below 3ft hahaha

Entrance fee is 350/head, kids below 3ft free

We got to reserve a cabana a week before our scheduled date

beachwave cabana (with toilet) (P1500)

We don't stay here too much but it's worth having your own cabana for call of nature purposes *wink

picnic area (free)

THE POOLS

beachwave pool (my mom and my bro)

ocean waves

kiddie pool with fountain and waterfalls

adult pool with a giant slide (far right)
Kayak area

buzzy river

sun screened pool

lap pool ( i don't know if this is the one adjacent to the fun lagoon) my dad took this pic

Our lunch?

2 orders of sweet and sour fish fillet 90 each
Beef with brocolli 120
13 plain rice 15 each
Nilasing na hipon 120
2 Lechon Kawali 120 each
5 large bottles of water 40 each

We ate at the picnic area not in our cabana what's the use of the cabana? ( we reserved it so our things our safe and of course we have our own toilet )

Merienda

We had

1 Shakeys Hawaiian pizza Large (thin) P305 8 slices
1 Mojos and Dips P90
7 Jollibee regular yum with cheese 43 each
5 bottles Mineral water 40 each

5pm we decided to go home

bye bye

no doubt the place is great, big pools super enjoy
others say that foods are expensive, actually if you eat out in a fastfood prices are ALMOST the same
super crowded
the swimming attire? people don't follow it, the admins said no tshirts etc saw someone wearing red shirt, long cotton shorts, what's the use of your rules?
they were selling beers, there's an incident yesterday, a man was seen lying unconscious, i heard he was drunk...hope it's not, i think it would be best if they don't sell beers, we all know some filipinos who drink tend to be so careless =P

So tired!

2010-04-24T21:53:00.001+08:00

I was supposed to post yesterday our preparation for today's family outing but I got lazy hehehe...i'll just post kwentos and pics tomorrow...

Mwah Mwah

WELCOME TO THE CHRISTIAN WORLD

KEILAH GRACE

Sorry forgot my camera, hehehe anyways here's my cutie inaanak (nice souvenir noh?)

We attended the Christening of my inaanak Keilah Grace (Gracey/ prettymomie's little princess!) in Sanctuario de San Antonio, reception is in Aberdeen Court...Strange! I said we, but Loida and my 2 kids were not with me....You know who's with me?? None other than my husband, it's really strange, everytime I ask him if he's coming with us, his answer is NO! ..Thanks to Roy (mitch's hubby), wearing only his shorts and polo shirt he said YES! Actually I asked him earlier if he wants to come with us but he said he'll wait in the car. Good thing, while waiting for us to finish the ceremony...Roy and hubbyness started discussing about what happened to our Revo, that started their bonding moments. haha

here's the other souvenir

didn't have the chance to take a pic of the cupcakes my 3 kids started munching it.

After the big event, we went to Super 8

need to buy snacks for the little monsters...

How's your Sunday???

Acnetrex Isotretinoin

2010-04-16T23:12:00.001+08:00

Pimples Pimples Pimples! Please go away...huhuhu...Everyday when I look at the mirror I would say "This is just a dream lolz!!!" ( my worst nightmare!) Hell my curiousity with make ups.

My dermatologist prescribed acnetrex BUT warned me not to get pregnant...lolz (got 3 kids now, i don't have any intentions of having another one...for the meantime...ngek) seriously speaking, i really have no plans. So just to make sure I'm also taking oral contraceptives Althea to be exact.

I'm on my way on finishing my first box of acnetrex,(taking it once a day). My face is less oily but I still get pimples, worst is that they have this whitish something, told my derma about this, she said it's ok, I think others experience this too, this is what they call purging stage. (am I right?) I think I read it in GT. My lips are super dry but thanks to petroleum jelly. Didn't experience being depressed/moody just like what others were saying.

One can't get acnetrex without doctor's prescription UNLESS you buy it in sulit.com.ph hehehe

i'll update you guys, wish me luck heheh

Cost: P1508

Ebay Haul

2010-04-15T20:02:00.001+08:00

got my items in ebay and I luurve them

Love the vintage earrings, charm bracelet and pi yao bracelet

earrings when worn

first time to buy vintage earrings actually, tired of wearing stud earrings, so why not try dangling ones....

I'm not fan of charm bracelets, I just want to have a red bracelet hehe and as I was searching the seller's other items to get another one (to save on shipping) the rat zodiac charm bracelet caught my attention....

I don't care if it's authentic or not.

I don't want to buy those charm bracelets which claims that it can give you goodluck and the cost (whooo)... hell, i'll just buy another gold bracelet hehehe

Watch movie Online

2010-04-13T21:25:00.001+08:00

I love to watch movie... I remember during my college days, every saturday after class, hubby and I would watch movies (from the latest to boring movies heheh)

Now that we have kids and we've been busy with my small business we got no time to watch. We're just lucky we have cable and we could buy cd/dvd. It's kinda expensive for me if we'll buy 5 dvds

Problem solved!

Thanks to http://www.movies-links.tv/movies I can watch movies for free!

If I don't blog much, for sure I'm busy watching hahaha

Weekend Shopping

2010-04-12T13:49:00.001+08:00

Last Saturday, we went shopping,

bought shorts and helmet for hubby. a top for me, and a toy for my Gab

oh and hubby gave me money to buy a swimwear hehehe (told him I'll buy a bikini top in ebay, he's against of me wearing bikini lolz)

I forgot to tell him pala I didn't buy the speedo swimsuit hehehe (expensive e)

bought sando for Loida and me din pala

Sunday

Mass and derma visit

Forgot to tell you guys hubby bought our 3rd car a 2nd hand Kia Pride so I can practice again hahaha

Loving and hating Ebay!

2010-04-09T22:47:00.000+08:00

Do you have an ebay account? ME? had 3 accounts already (been suspended twice for posting items with trademark LOL), using my new account now and thank God haven't received any warnings from them hehehe.

I've been buying and selling in Ebay for almost 2 years now. Thanks to that forum (gt to be exact), I've opened myself in buying used clothes etc. Great Deal, Low prices..how can i resist?

The best deal I had was when I sold a Zara Top for 700, actually I got that top also from ebay, bought it for only php400 hehehe, bidding is sometimes stiff but if you think the price is right (lol just like the tv game show) then go for it.

Why did I say I hate Ebay?

1. Sellers can't give negative feedback
2. Bogus Buyers/sellers on the loose

Now, that I'm searching for a bikini top (don't want to buy those overly expensive swimwear! I'm not an actress/ the apple of everybody's eyes lolz nor will I use it again next year hehehe)(peace) Hope I find the right one ( anyways measurements were listed or if its not I'll ask the seller just to make sure)So there

Hunting Mode!

Refreshments!!!! Anyone

2010-04-09T00:00:00.001+08:00

Summer!!!! so so so hoootttt!

My kids kept on bugging me to buy the Cornetto Choco HazelNut after watching it several times on tv. (alright!) I asked Loida to buy 5 Cornetto ChocoHazel Nut at the nearest mini store just to grant their simple request hehehe....

After 10 minutes Loida called (sosyal! call pa) telling me there's no ChocoHazel Nut, so I asked what are the other options (Quezo real, Double Dutch, Very Rocky Road, Pinipig). I asked the kids if they like Quezo real (of course! they know Quezo real that's actually one of their favorites!) Gab answered "YES! yun na lang!" the 2 girls agreed. (hooray! there are no violent reactions hehe)....

20 minutes then came Loida with a plastic bag.

4 quezo real (Gab, Bea, Mariz, Loida)

1 double dutch (extra)

1 pinipig (mine)

Didn't have a chance to take picture of us hehehe (sorry we're busy eating)
