Getting Ready for School

2013-05-18T17:21:00.001+08:00

At last, I went back to school last Wednesday to enroll my son and buy books, uniform and school supplies. Yes, new set of uniform again because the old uniform doesn’t fit anymore. I should be happy because I know my son is growing. I asked the date of first school day and I was told June 4. Waah! I’m not yet ready for school and I can’t believe that I only have two weeks of summer

Dads, Saisaki and Kamayan

2013-05-17T07:47:00.000+08:00

Dads, Saisaki and Kamayan is one of our choices if we have get together or reunion because we know that we need a place where we could share stories while eating. We are all aware that it is an “eat all you can” restaurant and they really have wide array of food choices but most of the time we chose Kamayan only because it is cheaper. I finally tried the Crossover, thanks to my SIL (

Kiddy’s Arts Town

2013-05-15T14:58:00.001+08:00

I mentioned in my other post that I spent Mother’s Day waiting for my OB-Gyne and to kill time we went to Kiddy’s Art Town. Actually, we always see this kiosk but never dare to try this activity because we’re always in a hurry to finish our errands which is grocery and bills payment. My son chose robot for P150 and we gave it to the staff. After few minutes, he gave us the materials

Baby Transport that we have tried

2013-05-14T21:26:00.002+08:00

Exactly five years ago when I’ve learned the gender of my baby, I was only four months pregnant when my doctor told me that we will have a baby boy. From that moment I started buying baby stuff listed on my “Newborn Checklist” such as baby clothes, bibs, towels, socks, mittens and many more. Then few days after I gave birth we immediately bought our first baby transport which is stroller.

Mother’s Day

2013-05-14T14:49:00.002+08:00

Mother’s Day is not something that we really celebrate, most of the time we will just eat out depending on our time and budget. Last year, I was blessed because we celebrated Mother’s Day in Taal Vista Hotel but last weekend I spent my day waiting for my OB-Gyne. I have to see my OB because for the third time UTI attacks again. I had this feeling that I have UTI because I was experiencing

I Know it is Worth it!

2013-05-11T06:44:00.002+08:00

Time flies so fast and now I’m on my fifth year as a full time mom. Choosing to be a full time mom wasn’t an easy decision because there’s no salary and no career. But I realized that “I may not have gone where I intended to go but I know I ended up where I needed to be”. Ethan needs me more than anything else so even the journey of motherhood is not like a walk in a park; I know it is worth

Just like that, we already finished the first month of summer vacation and few weeks from now the school year will start again. Last Thursday was Ethan’s last day in swimming lesson and first day of summer class so we’re still in busy mode. Honestly, I’m not yet ready for June. I’m still lazy to go to back to school hopefully sipagin ako because I need to pay tuition, buy books and uniform.

Cupcake

2013-05-04T10:22:00.001+08:00

I’ve been baking for quite some time now and until now I’m still learning. I’’m still searching and trying new recipe so I could enhance my baking skills. But most of the time I bake cupcake. Ever since my son started school, I’m getting orders from mommies in school but I always decline because I’m not really selling cupcakes or brownies. I only bake for my family, if there’s potluck in

Iron Man 3

2013-05-02T14:59:00.000+08:00

Yesterday was Labor Day and we went to mall to pay our bills, do grocery and of course watch Iron Man 3. My son loves Ironman and Avengers but honestly, I haven’t watched Iron Man 1 and 2 before Iron Man 3. I watched some parts of the movie because my husband and son watched it at home for the nth time. I enjoyed the movie, so after watching Iron Man 3, I watched Iron Man 1 and later I will

I was about to blog this yesterday but I felt so weak when I saw our electricity bill. Did you receive your bill already? I expected that there will be tremendous increase but I still can’t accept it. =) I’ve been married for 7 years and this is the most expensive electricity bill that I’ve received. Well, it is better to pay electricity bills than hospital bills because of heat stroke.

Fun Farm at Sta Elena

2013-04-26T09:55:00.001+08:00

I’ve read about Fun Farm at Sta Elena in Daphne’s blog last year, I wanted to visit this farm but I thought the location is really far. It was only last month when I’ve learned that this Fun Farm is located in Laguna. Waah! It is more or less 30 minutes travel time from our place without traffic. That’s what happened if you did not consult Google immediately. Last month, I suggested this

Kite flying is one of the activities of my husband and son every weekend. I guess they’ve been flying kites for almost a month already but it was only last Sunday that I went with them. They invited me to join their bonding and since I have nothing to do I’m lazy to do household chores I joined them. “I hope my children look back on today and see a mother who had time to play.

Homemade Palitaw

2013-04-23T11:17:00.003+08:00

One of my favorite merienda when I was young is palitaw; I can still remember those days that I really wait for the vendor voice shouting “palitaw” in our neighbourhood. After I graduated and started working, we crossed our path again and she still remembers me “ang kanyang suki”, but that was years ago. Anyway, last weekend I’ve made my very first homemade palitaw. I asked my husband to
