Growing Up with My Bestest Friend

She may be the kindest person on Earth I've ever known...

Never failed to make me laugh during my loneliest days...


We may look entirely different but we bonded like Lock and Key...


Now, we both have 1 girl and 1 boy... Her kids are both 1 year older than mine...

When I saw our kids together last Saturday, I thought I entered a Twilight Zone... It was me and Bless!!! We looked exactly like them when we were 7 and 8 (Thank God they look better than us)...





Jianna and Cassie


I miss you Bless... Hope to spend more time with you, Glenn, Jianna and Julio...

Happy, Happy Birthday... I love you...

Kids' Day Out

For more than a month, I've been taking care of Fonzie's burn... Yes, he had a 2nd degree burn on his right thigh... I was having second thoughts on posting this because it reminds me of how bad I felt when I first saw it... But since this is supposed to be my journal, I decided to post it and show everyone how bad it was... This happened last February 20, 2009...


This was taken an hour after the accident (or incident)... Whether the yaya did this on purpose or not was still a mystery to us...

Worse became worst days after... I tried taking pictures but the burn was covered with medicine (Flammazine)...


For a week, Fonzie was slow, weak, but he never cried... He was so strong... He was down with fever and colds when this happened... So he was given nasal decongestants, paracetamol, and antibiotics... Then add the pain caused by the burn, could you just imagine how bad he felt???

Last Sunday, a month after, I took the kids to Power Plant Mall... It was Fonzie's first day out after the accident... He was so happy and high, that he went to bed 1am that night...

Here's what happened during their Day Out...









I'm just happy to say that Fonzie is now doing well and has completely recovered... The wound is now completely gone, but the skin has a slight discoloration... Right now, I am applying an ointment that could help the scar disappear... Hopefully it will...

I thank the Lord Jesus, for helping us go through it all...

My Life In Pages...

My kids love pictures... Whenever Fonzie sees his story book photo album, he would stop, look at his pictures, page by page...


I placed it on the center table, in my living room, as a coffee table book... I noticed my friends looking at it and telling me how beautiful the story book is... Unique, touching, beautiful, and inexpensive...


I thought of it, and came up with the idea of making my own
Coffee Table Book...




But I want to make different books for different phases of my life...

Something that can make me feel happy and contented...



Something to remind of my favorite places on Earth...


Something that can make me look back - so I can go forth...

And I'll call them, My Life in Pages...

Sunday Brunch

I miss Sunday Brunch... We used to have this weekly about 2 or 3 years ago... Me and my 2 sisters plan every Saturday as to where we're going to have our Sunday Brunch... Hayyyy.... Those were the days....

Last Saturday, Marnie and I were planning our Sunday escapade... We planned to wake up early the next day, have brunch at some quiet restaurant where we can eat good food and not spend a fortune, and then spend the rest of the day at the salon... We thought of all the restaurants in Shang, and then Marnie suggested Dome Cafe... This place has always been our coffee and dessert place, but this time, we will try their real meals...

I had Cheese Sausages with Garlic Rice, (it is originally served with french fries, but I asked the server to give me garlic rice instead, hello Mega Carbo!).

My gosh, I am getting hungry posting this - I can still remember how it tastes, and only God knows how much I want to eat that very same meal at this moment...


Marnie had pork chops... They're tender, cooked to perfection...



Oh, and I noticed that their garlic rice is really good!!! I don't know if it has a different ingredient or what, but it tastes really good... I can't do that at home...

Their Capuccino, as Marnie mentioned, "The best Capuccino in Manila"... She loved it so much that she forgot to take pictures of her drink...

We spent around P850 Pesos, total, including taxes and service charge...

Now I'm gonna mark my calendar and take note of our next brunch at Dome...

The Insider in HD - Pinoy Style?

This is something I look forward to every night... Since my hubby became a Flickr addict, I never got the chance to use the computer when he gets home... So I'm stuck on the television and got addicted to - as Lara Spencer would always say, "The Insider on High Definition".


I love her!!! She looks so good on her dresses, love her poise, her posture, her face, everything!!!


Then, I heard the news about this new show on Philippine Television:

Showbiz News Ngayon

Oh my goodness....

Potty Train Your Puppies...

Before, we seldom see ladies in the streets, all dressed up carrying their dogs or pets... But now, we can't even stop them, some can't even leave their home without their pets, they want to be with them in the parks, malls, coffee places, or even bars...

I just hope that they're like the Hollywood peeps who walk their dogs, and carry plastic poop collectors for them to clean up...


Or maybe we should put up signs like these:



or like this one:



then they can get a Poop Scooper and put them inside these Poo Collectors




If you can't touch your dog's poops, then I guess you might want to potty train them... Here's how... Click Here!

Welcome 2009

Thanks to all, for the gift of friendship, love, and understanding... It has been a wonderful and challenging year for me, especially during the last quarter. Year 2008 ended with a maximum gust blast for me, but it ended well and need not to be pointed out anyway...

I've been on vacation this holiday season and having fun time with the kids... I can't believe how time flies and how big my baby boy has grown...

Fonzie is now 1 year and 6 months old...

His words are:

Hotdog - pertaining to Mickey Mouse (Playhouse Disney's Song - Hotdog, hotdog, hot diggity dog)

Mama - I think he's pertaining to me

Hip, hip, Addu!!!! - pertaining to "hip, hip, hurray"

Wowwww - when he sees something nice, like, Wow!

Ats - pertaining to his Achie Cassie

So far, I must say that he has "very little" vocabulary... Especially when compared to Cassie... Sadly, I wasn't an internet addict when Cassie was in her growing years... But I promised myself that I'll upload her growing years video on You Tube sometime...

Maybe she'll thank me for that in the future...

Meanwhile, here's Fonzie...



Happy 2009 Everyone!!!
