2009!!!

Yes, im still here...sorry for not able to post that often now

Busy with work as usual...I don't have all the time in the world now like i used to do when I was a stay at home mom...8-10 hours of sleep, nap time, watch TV whenever I want..watch my soap operas, all the other series, sports and more..internet 24/7..now..i barely have time to watch anything on TV and internet just to check email from the hubby..

.....work is good..getting enough hours still

I was sick this week with a bad cough and missed 2 days from work...i lost my voice!!

and add my rashes on my skin that i had to go to see a dermatologist

I hope this next week will be better

I was very happy with the outcome for Winter's birthday party on the 20th of December. (sorry for the late update)...Her party was at Farrel's ice cream parlour & restaurant in Windward Mall....here are some pictures

Honolulu Zoo Sundae (about 40 scoops i think)

some of her gifts

Thanks to my sister Reina for taking the time to do these

& took her to the glow putt afterwards

Thank you to all our family and friends that came to celebrate Winter's 3rd birthday. It was very meaningful that everyone came. Thank you for all the presents too!! She loves all of it and I think she had too much gifts of toys that it will last a year before she will be able to open and use them all lol.

More updates...I promise.

Happy New Year to all...Let's start 2009 being optimistic with every aspect of our lives.

Hope Everyone will have a blessed 2009!

Hello everyone..I know I have been MIA for a while now..

I think I am pretty much done with shopping, but I haven't started wrapping up anything and/or mailing gifts to cousins who are in the mainland
I still have to do that, I know it might not make it before Xmas but at least
for them to get it before the end of the year

Winter's birthday party is almost set. I can't believe that she is turning 3..
Sadly, Daddy won't be home..sighs...5 months down..9 more to go..sighs again..
it is crazy, sometimes I just want to break down & cry..but that's how it is..gotta deal with it.

Ok enough of the complaining..I will try to update and put up some pictures after her party. If I dont get to post anything sooner...

HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!

Enjoy time with your family & friends

Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year!

This was taken on Oct 1st, my papa's 52nd birthday. We ate dinner at Makino Chaya in Aloha Tower. We had a blast! We ate like we didnt eat for weeks..we ate like pigs! haha. Hey it's buffet so might as well eat all you can to make sure you don't waste the money right?

(Makino Chaya Founded by the veteran of a famous chain of restaurants in Japan, this buffet offers a unique concept in buffet dining. Select from salad and sushi station (30 types), hot food station, tempura, desserts, and more. Marvel at an amazing variety of seafood, including Alaskan king crab, half-shell oysters, snow crab legs, dungeness crab, shrimp tempura, shrimp cocktail, sashimi, and miso butterfish. The Aloha Tower Marketplace location will feature a large lobster tank, with novel delicacies such as fresh-caught uni (sea urchin).
